Chapter 14

"What if he's not even there Bonnie?" said Elena.

"I am going to try anyway." she said as she grabbed a jacket.

"But Bonnie if he has already left town then all of this was for nothing. Won't you be pissed?"

"Look Elena. I don't trust Klaus but Caroline does. And I trust Caroline and I love Caroline."

"So do I." said Elena. "But this is Klaus we are talking about. He tried to kill you."

"Elena. Enough ok. I know full well what I am doing." she said and walked away from her. Bonnie walked out into the living room and up to Caroline. Caroline hugged Bonnie and whispered something in her ear then Bonnie was out the door.

The closer Bonnie got the the house the more nervous she got. She kept going over and over in her mind the day that Klaus killed her. Granted he was in Alaric's body but still it was Klaus. But if Caroline said he wouldn't hurt her she would believe her. She hoped.

And what if Elena was right. What if they had done all of this and Klaus had left town already. Caroline would be crushed and Bonnie could not stand to see her hurting.

The further north of Mystic Falls she got the more secluded the area got. Bonnie finally saw the long driveway to the house. She turned right and drove up towards the house. Just like Caroline said it as an old Victorian home on a very large piece of property. The landscaping was impeccable. Beautiful sculpted bushed and large lavish garden surrounded the outside of the house. But not one light shone in the many windows of the house. It looked deserted. Bonnie swallowed hard and got out of the car. She climbed the stone steps from the driveway that lead to the concrete walkway to the front porch. She walked quietly onto the porch and up to the door. She tried to door knob and the door opened. Bonnie walked in cautiously. She saw a large sitting room to the right and a staircase to the left of the door. She walked in and shut the door.

"What are you doing here witch?"

She heard his voice from behind her and whirled around. Bonnie was suddenly hit by the smell of alcohol and blood. She walked into the sitting room and flipped the light on. Klaus was slumped in a high backed chair his hand was clutching onto a bottle of bourbon. He looked like hell. Bonnie took in the rest of the scene. There were empty bottles of bourdon and empty blood bags strewn across the floor. He cocked his head and looked at up at Bonnie. At first she was frightened then she saw the pain. The same pain in Caroline's eyes.

"What are you doing here?" he asked again.

"I was convinced that you would be gone." she said.

"And I am not." he said taking a large swig out to the bourbon bottle. "Why have you come here?"

Bonnie took a deep breath. "Caroline sent me." she said. His face softened but the pain behind his eye grew deeper. His eyes dropped from Bonnie's to the floor. Bonnie stayed quiet for along time. It seemed like Klaus was trying to collect his thoughts.

"And." he said finally.

"Caroline wanted me to come here and bring you this." she said and produced the small vial of green potion from her jeans pocket. His eyes quickly looked down a the bottle between Bonnie's fingers.

"What's that?" he asked. His eyes fluttered back up to Bonnie's.

"Its your cure." His eyes were fixed on the bottle again.

"Cure?"

"We found this spell that will bind your wolf side again." Klaus slowly moved his eyes from her hand back to her face again.

"Caroline is convinced that you care for her and that your wolf side is keeping you from being together." Klaus did not look at Bonnie. Each time she said her name the ache for Caroline was unbearable.

"Klaus its clear that I don't trust you but I trust Caroline. She says these feelings exist so if they do take the freaking potion and let me do this spell and be with her and be happy."

Klaus looked up and Bonnie again.

"And if you don't care about her leave her alone. She will get by with her friends. She will be fine."

Klaus stood up quickly and was in Bonnie's face. She was not afraid. She knew he would not hurt her. He took the bottle from her hand and studied it.

"So this little bottle holds a potion to suppress my wolf. So I just take a little swig and you say a spell and poof no more wolf."

"Thats the idea."

Klaus turned and sat in the chair again, potion bottle in hand.

"Klaus the spell has to be done at midnight on the night of a full moon. Thats in 2 days."

"Ahhhh timing." he said and smirked.

"And you have to add 3 drops of your blood to the potion before you take it. Take the potion one hour before midnight."

"Sounds tricky." Klaus said in a condescending tone.

"Listen don't be a jerk about it. I am here for Caroline. She wants to be with you. So the choice is yours now. Meet us at 11 o'clock on Miller Hill back in Mystic Falls and the spell will be done."

"And I should just trust that this is the truth."

"Caroline trusts me so you should. Hurting you would hurt her."

Bonnie turned on her heels and walked towards the door. She turned back around and saw Klaus sitting looking at the vial in his hand.

"She told me to tell you she wants to go to Paris first." Then Bonnie walked out the door of the house. Klaus sat with the potion bottle in his hand still. He held it up close to his eye then snorted in disgust. He placed the bottle on a nearby table and drained the bottle of bourdon in his hand dry.

Bonnie got back in the car and drove as fast as she could down the long driveway again. When she hit the main road she could finally breath again.
