CHAPTER 10 Silent Moments, Meditative Poses

Silent moments, meditative poses
You break my focus, you make me laugh
Two mopeds racin through the forest
Making dirt clouds on a path, on a path

There was absolute silence surrounding her, it was a very quiet night in Mystic Falls General Hospital, however Bonnie Bennett could not sleep. Ever since her last visitor, her sort of friend Stefan, told her that a dispiteous hybrid is in love with her, she couldn't calm down. She was processing this information from every angle possible; to the positive side that if he is found of her, he's less likey to kill her, to the negative side his feelings might get hurt and he becomes even more cruel than he's been before. Obviously, she also though about it from her side. What does she feel for him? It was a hard decision to make. A difficult answer to say, even to herself. Her head was not in a dilemma, he was ruthless murderer and only thing she should be doing is ending his life. However, life is not as easy like that, because there's always another organ kicking in with its opinion. Her heart.

Her heart well, liking seamed...like a too harsh of a word, but she didn't despise him. Not as much as she used to. He was dangerous, no doubt, but he was also charming. She hated herself for saying it, but it was simply better if she was honest with herself. She'd never show it, but she started to have feelings for him. Good sort of feelings.

Her deep analysis was interrupted by a sound of door opening. Bonnie squinted to look at the clock, it was three am. Do nurses really check upon patients in this hour? Swiftly, she closed her eyes pretending she's asleep. She didn't want to listen to a nurse's lecture about importance of sleep or anything similar to that, but her eyes weren't closed for long because the steps she heard coming towards her weren't female, rather male. As she opened her eyes she recognized him in a second. Klaus. "You're awake." He sounded surpised.

"What are you doing here?" She whispered.

"I came to check upon you." He said as if they were old friends. Then he nonchalantly walked over to her chart and started reading it.

"You're a doctor?" Bonnie asked in a mocking tone.

"I was." Klaus laughed slightly. "In 1963. Easy access to bloood. I must admit I was being a lit lazy that year."

Bonnie rolled her eyes. How could she ever think she likes someone like him? But she did. "You'll be fine." He said nodding his head, still looking at the papers.

"Your liver is still not in best shape." He put the chart down and looked her in the eyes. "But I'm an optimist."

With that being said he appeared in his vampire speed right next to her. He bit his wrist and put it in front of her lips. "Time for your cure, Miss." He aped the nurse as she looked at him with disgust.

"No." She said stubbornly.

"C'mon love." His hand was still there, as an open invitation. However, he still didn't push it against her throat agressively and she was grateful for that. Her body still felt weak and she knew she couldn't put up a good fight.

"I don't want it."

He pulled his sleeve down, letting his own blood make a stain. "If you get bored of all this," he pointed to the infusion "you know where to find me."

Klaus then turned away and began leaving his late night visit. To both of their surprise, Bonnie yelled. "Stop!" He turned around and watched her slowly leave her bed and walk towards him.

She was prepearing a speech in her head as she walk so she was somehow thankful she doesn't have the strength to walk as fast as she usually did. "Changed your mind?" Klaus smiled.

"Thank you." Bonnie said. "Thank you for saving me." She lifted her feet and placed a sweet kiss on hybrid's lips. It much different than their last kiss. It was sweet, gentle and short. She slowly moved away and then turned around and heading back to bed. Klaus closed the door behind him as he left and a small smile escaped Bonnie's lips.

"Hey." Matt said quietly as he entered her hospital room. The morning light was fighting it's way through the curtains Bonnie stubbornly refused to open. She just woke up and she wasn't ready for any sort of light yet. It was 7 am on a Saturday morning, if she was anywhere else but hospital, she would still be in a dreamland. However, she was here and she was glad she could at least see a familiar face.

She sat up and smiled at Matt. "Hey." Matt gently put the plate on her knees. Bonnie raised her eyebrow, she thought nurses brought breakfast. As he saw she is waiting for an explanation, Matt shruged his shoulders. "I spent the night in the waiting room. When a nurse realized I am still here, she said I deserve one not orderly visit."

"A...aa...all night?" Bonnie stuttered. If Matt was there all night he possibly saw Klaus walking in, he possibly saw a kiss and that was something Bonnie didn't know how to explain, even to someone as non-judgmental as Matt. "Yeah," Matt said as if it wasn't anything special "but I was sleeping most of the time." He added embarrassed.

"You're the best, Matt." She hugged him tightly. Mostly because he was a great friend, but also because he couldn't give away her secret."You really didn't have to stay all night. Thank you." She was truly touched by what he did.

"I don't have many people left in my life, Bonnie." Matt said, she could hear so much sadness in his voice."You're my friend and I love you and I wanted to make sure you're alright. Especially in a town like this." Bonnie took his hand as a sign of her support, she couldn't imagine how much he got hurt in all this supernatural conflict that took his normal life away. He was still human, but everyone he knew weren't.

"I know my protection is actually useless." Matt looked down.

"What? NO!" Bonnie shook his hand and made him look her in the eye. "You're not useless. You're one of my closest friends and I'm truly sorry for everyone you lost, Matt."

"I'm glad you're fine." He smiled shortly.

"You won't get rid of me that easily." She smiled back.

With that being said Bonnie took a sip of her orange juice, getting ready to eat. Everyone knows hospital food it's not the greatest, but she was so hungry she didn't care. "What is that?'' She heard Matt asked.

Unsure of what exactly he's talking about, she looked at the spot he was looking at. There was a stain of blood on her blanket. Klaus' blood.

Stefan didn't get much sleep last night, mostly because his anger wouldn't let him sleep. He knew Klaus was in love with Bonnie and now, thanks to him, Bonnie knew Klaus was in love with her, but that was about it. He went through so much trouble just to gain some new information at Klaus' ball and now that he did, his partner had no idea what she wanted to do with it. She just looked at him confused and surprised, without even blinking. As he was about to ask he was she willing to fake her love so they could get Klaus to relax and then easily finish him, nurse came in and said visitation hour is over. Eager for his answer, Stefan considered compelling her, but he knew that would make Bonnie mad, so he just left. Leaving the nurse with her free will and without his much wanted answer.

Angry at his unresolved situation, he was having his morning shot of whiskey when someone knocked on the door. He didn't expect anyone, but it was still a surprise when he saw Elena Gilbert standing there. ''Good morning.'' Stefan said, confused by his visitor.

Elena marched in ignoring his confused expression. ''I want to help you kill Klaus.'' She said firmly, crossing her arms.

Stefan laughed, closing the door behind her. ''Thanks, but no thanks.'' He refused her offer.

''Excuse me?'' She sounded just as offended as he thought she would be.

''I'll handle it on my own.'' He shrugged his shoulders. ''You go ahead and play warrior princess with my brother.'' He added in a mocking tone.

Elena's mouth open, she was shocked that he knew about Damon's newest nickname. He wasn't even here when she trained with Damon and Alaric, how could he possibly? Little did she know that Klaus had a high school boy compelled to stalk the Scooby gang while he travels trying to make hybrids. Little did she know that Stefan overhead one of their annual talks mention the constant flirting between doppelganger and the eldest Salvatore.

Rebounced from shock, brunette started to defend herself. ''What's that suppose to mean?!'' She yelled. ''You'll let Bonnie help, but you won't let me help?!''

Stefan stayed silent to this observation by his ex-girlfriend. ''Is there something going on between you two?''
