Hi again!

Here's chapter 2 which sort of explains the reasons why both Kol and Bonnie might want to leave Mystic Falls behind and go on this trip.

And will Bonnie agree to go with Kol?

Read, Review and Thank you!

Of course she wouldn't be going with him, Bonnie thought as she lay in bed the next morning. It was the summer break now; she would be going to College with Elena and Caroline in just a few months.

She didn't have any particular plans for the summer but she couldn't just go away with an Original! Certainly not an Original who had tried to kill her friends!

Of course she wouldn't be going.

What the hell was Kol thinking?

Bonnie got out of bed and got dressed and went through the house trying to avoid her parents. She really didn't want to have to face their looks of concern or frustration or whatever.

Of course she wouldn't be going, she thought again as she poured her cereal. When she was done, she went over to the table and began eating. As she ate, her mind wandered.

He was right when he had said in the cave yesterday that she didn't know him at all and she probably never would.

I mean what did she know about him? Nothing.

Of course she wouldn't be going, she thought for the last time.

She would just have to go and tell him.

Bonnie walked over to the kitchen sink and put down her bowl. Then she brushed her teeth and came back to the front room. She slung her purse over her shoulder as she left the house without even bothering to tell her parents where she was going. She didn't care what they had to say anymore.

She walked down the drive and got into her car. But once she was inside, she paused.

Well… she didn't have to tell him straight away. She could always tell him later. After all she had all day.

Bonnie had just turned the ignition when another thought struck her. She should probably go and tell Caroline and Elena everything that had happened.

You know… her dying and all.

But she decided against that as well. She'd get round to it eventually.

Instead she decided to go do some shopping.

15 minutes later, Bonnie was standing in the supermarket looking at one of the shelves. As she was contemplating whether or not she wanted to buy tea bags or instant coffee, a voice from behind her made her jump.

"Made a decision yet?"

She turned on her heels and saw Kol standing next to her, staring at her. How long had he been there?!

"Hmm… well I really do like coffee," Bonnie began lightly, not taking her eyes off of the packets in her hands. "But I have it all the time. I thought maybe I'd be a little adventurous and try some different kinds of tea…"

Kol rolled his eyes. "I wasn't talking about your choice of beverages." He muttered. "What I meant was whether or not you were coming with me on our trip."

Bonnie put the packet of tea bags back on the shelf. "You mean your trip." She clarified. "And no I haven't decided yet."

Tightening her grip on the coffee, she held it up. "I think I'll just stick with this."

Raising his eyebrows, Kol turned and leant over to the shelf and picked up a magazine. On the cover was a girl only in a bikini. She seemed to be trying to sell the car she was draped across.

When Bonnie saw it, she snatched the magazine from his hand in a flash and Kol smirked.

"Not jealous are we?" He asked and Bonnie scoffed as she thrust the magazine back on the shelf.

"Dream on, Mikaelson." She spat and then walked away to the checkout to buy the coffee.

Kol chased after her, grinning. "Oh, you have a nickname for me now? I guess that means you've already gotten comfortable with having me around?"

Bonnie scoffed again, finally deciding to ignore him.

Kol chuckled, enjoying her reactions. "Alrighty then, darling. But just remember I expect your answer by tonight."

Bonnie didn't say anything and continued to ignore him until he finally walked off and left her at the checkout.

When he was completely out of sight, Bonnie shook her head.

The nerve!

This only served to enforce her decision not to go with him.

Of course she wouldn't be going.

She bought the coffee and then left the shop with her head held high.

Comfortable with him around?!

Please!

Kol walked through Mystic Falls, a grin still plastered to his face after his encounter with the witch.

Ok, so he'd followed her out of her house that morning. He just wanted to know her decision as soon as possible.

But he wasn't worried.

Of course she would be coming with him.

"Kol."

The lone name brought Kol to a stop. He knew exactly who it was who had announced that very word.

He knew exactly who he would see when he turned to look them in the eyes.

And he knew exactly what they would say.

"Nik." Kol said in dislike as he turned towards him.

Klaus stood there, his eyes light and with a hint of a smile on his face as he looked at his younger brother.

"You're… you're still here? I had assumed the veil had been put back up."

Kol's eyes were narrow as he stared straight back at Klaus.

"That's right." He affirmed. "The Bennett witch replaced it yesterday."

Klaus stepped toward his brother and Kol tensed up slightly at the movement.

Klaus noticed and stopped.

"Kol…" Klaus began, his voice breaking softly.

"No, save it, Nik." Kol snapped, with a hand in the air. "I know it wasn't you who set up my death but that still doesn't mean I ever want to see you again."

Klaus looked confused. "What? But we're family!"

Kol laughed humourlessly and turned his body away. "Family? Since when have any of us been a family? You, Elijah and Bekah just run along and have a good ol' time in New Orleans and everyone will be happy."

Klaus was panicking now. "Kol! Really, what did I do? I haven't done anything!"

Kol turned his back on his brother in finality and said in a low whisper, "Exactly."

He then vampire sped away and Klaus was left standing there in the middle of the street not knowing what he had done.

But Kol was right.

Him having done nothing was exactly Kol's problem with him.

Bonnie pulled up in front of the Forbes house that afternoon. She saw Elena's car out front and was surprised. What was Elena doing here?

She got out of her car and walked up to the house and stopped in front of the door. Just as she was about to knock, she heard a voice coming through an open window to her right.

"I just can't believe Jeremy's gone again." Elena said, her voice coming out as a sob.

Bonnie heard the shuffling of feet and then Caroline's voice. "Well everyone had to go back. Kol, Vaughn, Connor, the witches, the hybrids. We couldn't have them walking around trying to kill us!"

"But that meant Jeremy, Alaric and Lexi had to go too. I mean how is that right?" Elena asked.

"You know Kol would have come to get his revenge on you for killing him."

"Ha! We could've just killed him again. He's nothing but evil, Care."

There was a pause for a moment until Elena spoke again.

"I wish Bonnie had done something to save Jeremy's life. I mean I would've given anything! There must have been something she could have done!"

"Elena, I'm sure Bonnie tried." Caroline replied in a hard tone.

"Then where is Jeremy then huh?" Elena yelled angrily. "Or Stefan? Why can't Bonnie even come and see us? It's like she's got something to hide. I bet she didn't even think about Jeremy. Her magic has messed her up, Caroline. She's not the same anymore. She doesn't even care. The Bonnie we knew is dead and gone."

Bonnie had heard enough. She stormed back to her car and got inside. She sped down the road, tears gushing down her cheeks.

Her vision got so bad she had to stop the car on the side of the road. She held her head against the steering wheel and cried loudly.

Until, eventually she was all cried out. She lifted her head off the steering wheel and stared out into the road, the afternoon sunlight slightly blinding her with its bright light.

And that's when she made her final decision.

She drove home. She left her car running on the curb and walked back into the house. She went to a cupboard and pulled out a medium sized travel bag.

She rushed into her room and began throwing clothes and items into the bag haphazardly.

Once it was full, Bonnie zipped it up and made her way to her bedroom door. She wasn't worried that she'd missed anything. She'd buy anything she needed on the road.

Just as she was about to leave the house, she saw her father from the corner of her eye.

Bonnie turned and his eyes fell to the bag in her hand.

"Where are you going?" He asked, concern in his voice.

"I'm leaving for the summer." Bonnie replied, utterly calm.

Her father walked towards her. "You can't leave! Tell me where are you going?"

"There's nothing left for me here, dad. So I'm leaving with someone."

Bonnie opened the door and headed down the drive to her car. Her father followed her outside.

"Bonnie please, just tell me who are you going with?" He yelled after her.

At the car, Bonnie turned back to look at him.

"An Original vampire." She replied in a dark voice.

Her father's eyes widened in surprise and just as he was about to make a protest, Bonnie shoved her bag in the boot of the car and got into the driver's seat.

"Bonnie!" He called out but Bonnie didn't look back. She just drove on and away from the house.

10 minutes later she was outside the Mikaelson Mansion. She didn't bother getting out, she knew Kol would know she was there soon enough.

She was right and less than five minutes later, Kol opened the passenger side door and slid into the car.

"Darling! You're here to tell me your decision?"

"Yes. I'm coming."

Kol smiled and dropped his head. "Of course you are. There was never any doubt."

Bonnie smiled with him for a moment. "No, I guess there wasn't."

"Well then, get out, we're taking my car." He said as he opened his door and began walking to the side of the house.

Bonnie's forehead crinkled in confusion as she watched him walk off.

Eventually, Bonnie got out of her side and grabbed her bag from the back and then followed after him.

Ahead of her, Kol smiled when with his increased hearing, he heard her following after him.

He opened the boot for her and when she arrived next to him, she dropped her bag inside.

"You have no bag?" Bonnie asked as she spied the otherwise empty trunk.

Kol chuckled at the idea. "Ah, no. I'll have ways of acquiring anything I need on the road. I mean the people in this country are very accommodating."

Bonnie shook her head, realising she didn't even want to know. She got inside the passenger side and Kol raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? I don't even have to fight you for driving rights?" He asked amused as he got in the driver's side.

Bonnie gave him a look. "Well you're the one taking me to see these witches. And since I have no idea how to get there…"

"Right. Of course, darling. Of course."

Kol started the ignition and slowly moved the car out to the curb. Once they were on the road, he turned his head to look at the beautiful witch who had actually agreed to come with him on this trip.

"Get ready for the journey of your life, Bonnie Bennett." He said, gazing at her.

Bonnie looked at him and blushed slightly.

"Just don't make me regret this." She muttered, turning her head away to look out of the window.

Kol laughed and turned his head back to the road. "Regret a trip with Kol Mikaelson? I don't think that's possible."

Bonnie groaned slightly and said "I think I'm regretting it already," but Kol just chuckled loudly once more.

Thanks for reading! See you next chapter :)

Leave a review? They're much appreciated.

UPDATE: I changed a few things in the previous chapter like explaining that Kol and Bonnie put the veil BACK UP but kept THEMSELVES alive. And yes It's part of the story that Bonnie forgot to bring Jeremy and stuff back at the same time. Sorry that that was confusing some people.
