Chapter 15: Every Song Got It's Rules

And we once also had a story too
You can see that good men only come in few.
Even in our greatest moments we may win or we may lose
Every song's got it's rules, you've got to learn to make it through.

Just as Klaus escorted Bonnie to the door, Rebekah came running in. Her eyes where filled with tears, her make up ruin and the blonde was shivering. Both of them, started to wonder what in the world is wrong as Rebekah rushed to hug her brother. It was odd. Seeing someone actually hug Klaus, someone actually trust him that much.

But Bonnie's mind didn't stretch the idea of Klaus', and Rebekah's humanity, right now. She just stood there, by the open door. Dying to know what was wrong and praying to God it wasn't Matt, because she couldn't live with herself if it was.

''He's back.'' Rebekah said through the tears. Klaus put his hands around her, hoping that will calm her down.

''Who's back?'' He didn't understand. He looked up from his sister and there was no one outside. Bonnie didn't see or sense anyone either, it was just air. But Klaus knew what him and his sister went through together, Rebekah would never be afraid of just air.

He gently stroke her hair. ''Who's back?'' He asked again.

Bonnie stood there, not moving a muscle. Just an hour ago, she wanted nothing more but to get out of that house and now, now she was staying longer. ''You lied!'' Rebekah's sadness turned into anger. ''You lied!''

She started to hit Klaus on the chest. Bonnie silently stood there, watching him take it as a man. As a good brother. Something, she would never, in a million years, thought he was. Guess, he wasn't all she thought he is. Or better yet, he was, but he wasn't just that.

''He's not dead! Witch didn't kill him! I just saw him!''

Klaus' eyes widen. No name was said, but it was perfectly clear to him. He wished he was wrong, but nothing else would add up. Realizing Bonnie was still there, ears-dropping, he yelled. ''Go!''

As much as he loved her, he knew she didn't love him. Not like he wanted her too. Not at all probably.

That's why it was crucial to send her away before Rebekah says his name, before anything more about their weakness is reveled. The witch still wanted to end him, in order to save her friends. He knew that.

Bonnie walked to her car. Troubled by everything she witness tonight. It was all too much for one night.

She just needed to rest.


Bonnie was so not in the mood for school, but her father was home and 'I had a date with Klaus' was really not any explanation he would understand. As Bonnie parked her car, she noticed Caroline drive by. She waited until her blonde friend parked her car, so the two of them could walk to school together. It was a nice, sunny day at least.

"Hey." Brunette smiled shortly, as the blonde approached her. However, Caroline was in no mood for chit-chat. "I saw you and Klaus kiss." Her expression was serious and worried. There was not one part of Caroline who could understand what she saw the previous night. Bonnie looked down at a ground and mumbled silently. "Uhm...khm...uhm." Two friends stood on a high school parking lot; one waiting for an explanation, the other unsure what to say.


Stefan Salvatore had many places where he went to think. He loved any place that was abandoned and quiet. He's always been that guy. A loner.

Recently, his place became a Witch House. Seams odd, but it isn't since that's where he kept his advantage. Besides Bonnie, only thing that could help him manipulate and trick Klaus. Klaus didn't treat him like one of his hybrids, he certainly didn't treat him like he could, since he was so much stronger. He simply changed him, bring out the worst in him back. Awaken the Ripper. Klaus' favorite version of Stefan. The version that made him, unstoppable maniac, seam less evil.

And for that, Stefan hated him.

He touched the top of the coffin he kept, thinking. He was analyzing the previous, quite eventful night. Damon's younger brother learned that Rebekah's father is awaken and very much determent to end Klaus' life. He had his own reason; Klaus wasn't his, like the rest of the Originals, he was a child his wife had with another men. A werewolf. He could understand the resentment and rationally, he should be glad there's one more person trying everything and anything to end hybrid's life. Especially one that knew him so well. But he wasn't glad. He wanted to do it himself. The urge in him to be the one to hammer a stake through Klaus' heart was enormous. So enormous he didn't even shared any of this new information with his brother or Bonnie. He was becoming less and less capable to work in a team.

Selfishness. Yet another thing that was so much more Ripper, then it was Stefan.


To hell with it, Bonnie figured honesty is the best policy. After all, it was Caroline who asked her. Her good and wonderful friend, who would never hide stuff like this from her. "It was an agreement." She stated. "He gets to kiss me, if he lets Tyler have a free will for the night and be with you. I couldn't let you be hurt. Especially since there's something I could have done about it." Bonnie shrugged her shoulders, like what she did was not much. Even though it was.

Familiar brightness appeared on Caroline's face and she immediately hugged Bonnie, as that was her way of saying thank you. "Oh thank God." She said honestly. "The thought of you and him is scary and disgusting. You could never be with someone who hurt so many people, right?"

Something this morning told her this won't be one of the good days. She felt this nervousness and pain in the stomach while she was still at home, brushing her teeth and now Bonnie knew what is was. It was her witchy senses predicting this moment. She felt a pain in her stomach, she felt nervous and guilty. But still, she put on a fake smile and instantly agreed with her best friend. "Of course." She knew the feelings that are growing inside her would leave her friendless. They would never understand. They would leave her. All of them.

"C'mon Bonnie, we're gonna be late." Caroline said happily, absolutely sure everything's fine.


It was a week later and time for yet another event in Mystic Falls' social calendar. This time, it was homecoming. Students all agreed that a party in Mystic Falls High is pretty much 'been there, done that' feeling for all of them. So instead, everyone gathered at Tyler Lockwood's mansion, which was easy to arrange since President of Homecoming Committee, also happens to Tyler's girlfriend.

Everything was filled with people. Tyler and Klaus, both in black suites, walked around, studying the crowd. "My mom would seriously freak is she saw all these people here." Tyler confessed with a beer in his hand and a half-smile on this face. It felt cool to be the host of such a huge party.

Until Klaus said the following. "Your mother won't be a problem. I compelled her to go to church and pray for your friends." To Tyler, that sounded absurd, so absurd he had to laugh. "What?" It must be the loud music, he probably didn't hear him right.

"I want you to look around." And so Tyler did, both men looked behind them in the direction Klaus was pointing at. "There's Bonnie," Bonnie stood there in a short, golden cocktail dress and a black coat. It was a rather chilly night. "there's Elena and Matt," Tyler saw Elena taking a sip of Matt's beer before returning it to him and then Matt took a sip too. "and there's your bubbly little girlfriend, Caroline." They both saw Caroline, handing out drinks. "But who are, all these other people here?" He mysteriously asked. Tyler instantly started to ask himself that as well, he looked around and other than people they already named, he couldn't recognize a single one. "I have no idea, I have never seen half of these people ever in my life." He confessed, nonchalantly. He didn't worry too much, they're probably local college students or teenagers from nearby towns.

"That's because I invited a few dozen friends of my own." Klaus smiled.

Tyler just stood there, speechless. "There's my friend Brooke, just giving Bonnie another drink." And indeed, when young hybrid looked, there was a stranger giving Bonnie another red plastic cup. "There's Jim and Brian and Tony, oh so many names..." smile never disappeared from Klaus' face.

"All those people all hybrids?" Tyler asked, not as calm as minute ago.

"Everybody loves a good party." Klaus explained. "And they, just like you, love to serve their master. So if anyone so much as makes a move against me, they may feel obligated to retaliate." His smile grew wider. "You can warn your friends. So you all don't say I didn't give you a fair warning."

Klaus walked away and Tyler walked over to where Caroline was standing, talking to a fellow cheerleader. He finally realize why Klaus has been MIA, all past week, why he had his will back and felt alright. Klaus was out of town, gaining an even bigger hybrid army then he had before.

"This is not just homecoming." Tyler approached the vampire. He was worried and serious, so Caroline dropped her bubbly personality and went straight to 'let's keep everyone safe' state of mind. She handed the bong to Erica. "What do you mean?" Duo walked away from the crowd.

"Klaus. He is taking this party as his way of celebrating that he turned even more werewolfs into hybrids. Half of thees people are hybrids, freshly turned hybrids. God knows, how many are there and he told me to warn you, all of you, that if anyone does anything against him they'll retaliate. All God knows how many of them."

"Dad." Caroline looked away, thinking out loud. Tyler looked at her, not understanding how that word had anything to do with anything he just said. "Forget it." Caroline quickly changed the subject. "You go get Matt, Bonnie and Elena. I'll find Damon and Stefan, if anyone has any plans we gotta stop them now."

Tyler nodded his head. Most importantly Elena and Matt should be far away, being humans, they are the weakest link. Tyler and Caroline then both saw Bonnie, talking to Klaus. Tyler went to get her, not caring who she's taking to, but Caroline stopped him by putting her hand on his chest.

"She's fine. He likes her, she's safe. I'll get her later, go find Matt and Elena." Caroline ordered, before she herself went to the last place she saw Stefan, hoping he's still there.


''Let's go inside, shall we?'' Klaus suggested as he walked up to his crush.

Bonnie nodded her head, agreeing. She didn't mind staying inside for a bit. It was a chilly night and she couldn't find her friends anywhere. She might as well look around the house. Once Klaus is done talking to her, obviously. Blowing him off was noneffective.

"You look beautiful." Klaus complimented the only girl he had eyes for.

"Compliments? Really?" Bonnie wasn't impressed. "In your thousand years of existing, you didn't find more original way to wow a girl." She told him.

"Old ways are the safest ways." Klaus shrugged.

"And soooo unoriginal." Bonnie slurred a bit, this was her third beer and she has always been lightweight.

"I could tell you something else." Klaus touched her waist, seeing she's starting to lose her balance. Even though that was still more the heels, than the drink. "Try me." She told him in daring way.

He put the other hand around her waist and pulling her closer. Since it was sudden, she almost fell, but his hands kept her exactly where she was. He then whispered into her ear. "I know how to please a women, Bonnie. Truly please her. I could get you in such ecstasy, you would beg me to continue even when you become sore. I would take such a good care of you, no one could ever top that. Us."

And then he left go of her, just to watch her reaction. He knew it would be priceless and it was. Her mouth shaped an O, telling him she, in her wildest dreams didn't expect him to say what he just did. Her cheeks were red, because she was embarrassed Embarrassed for the picture he put in her head. Embarrassed that smile of his gave away he knew exactly what she is picturing. She stood there speechless.

And she would probably stay in that position for a bit longer, if Caroline didn't show up. "Come with me. I need you for a second." Bonnie turned around and followed Caroline. The girl that took her as far away from Klaus as she could, without being suspicious.


20 minutes later.

"What's going on?" Matt asked, clueless and confused. Sitting next to him, was Bonnie, just as clueless and confused. "I have no idea."

Caroline got them both in front of her car. Then she used her superhuman strength and pushed them both inside and locked all the doors. More or less, their friend was keeping them hostage. She then ran back to the party.

"Something's going down there." Bonnie commented, looking at Tyler's home. Matt then, once again, tried to break the glass, but it simply wasn't happening. They could both just sit there.

"Aperire." She shortly ordered, looking at her side of the door with an open palm. The door opened.

"Thank God for magic." Matt smiled as Bonnie began to get out.

"I'm sorry, Matt." Bonnie said before she closed the door right in front of his nose. She started running, against her better judgement, curious to know what the hell is going on. And why was whatever it was kept from her. She knew Caroline probably met well and she should be better off, in a safe distance. But Bonnie couldn't. She couldn't knowing they are probably putting themselves in danger.


"Hello, Niklaus."

"Hello, Mikel."

Staring into each other. Four eyes all filled with hate. Klaus reacted differently than his sister when he first saw his father. He was calm and ready. He's been running too long, he has his army now thanks to doppleganger's blood. He can take a man who created what he was down.

"Why don't you come in? Oh, that's right I forgot. You can't."

"But you could come outside if you want to." Mikel challenged.

"Or I could stay here and watch as my hybrids tear you limb to limb." Klaus said from the inside of Tyler's home. Mikel eyes widen a bit at the threat as he was on the porch with 30 loyal hybrids behind him.

"They can't kill me."

"True. But it will make one hell of a party game." Klaus smirked. "All I have to do, is snap my fingers and they'll start."

"Big bad wolf," Klaus didn't snap his fingers, interested what Mikel will say next. "Nothing changed. You're still hiding behind your playthings like a coward. Or and you forget," Mikel added "they might be sired by you, but they're part vampire and they can be compelled. By me."

Klaus watched in shock as one in the group of hybrids, bow down to Mikel.

Just then, another compelled hybrid, came closer, holding Elena and giving her to Mikel. Klaus' eyes began to water as he stood there in silence. Worried that everything he gained will be taken away. Tonight.

Mikel smiled. "Come out, Niklaus. Or she dies."

"Go ahead. Kill her."

"If she dies, these playthings." His hand showed the hybrids. "Will be the last one you got."

Bonnie finally stopped running and she would keep running towards the group of men in Tyler's front yard if someone didn't grab her. She fought at first as she was being dragged into the bushes, but then. "Calm down, it's me." It was Caroline's voice. They were both hidden in the bush, both watching Mikel/Klaus negotiations from the safe distance.

"What's going on?" She asked the same question Matt asked her, not too long ago.

"Shh..." Caroline placed a finger against her lips. Telling the witch to keep quiet.

Without answers, Bonnie continued to watch the situation.

"…so you can live forever. With no one at your side. Nobody cares about you anymore, boy! Who do you have? Other than those whose loyalty you false. No one."

Niklaus was closer and closer to tears. Seeing this, Miklael repeated the words that seamed to effect his stepson the most. "No one."

"I'm calling your bluff, father. Kill her."

"You little coward."

"My whole life you have underestimated me. If you kill her, you lose your advantage, so go ahead. Kill her. C'mon old man. Kill her!"

He yelled that so loudly even Bonnie heard it and apart from that she was too far to hear any of the conversation. She started running, she had to save Elena. She couldn't believe Caroline would just stand there and let her die. A hybrid caught her. The last one in the group that was still waiting for a sign to attack Mikel. He was holding her in a tight grip, but with his eyes straight forward. Everyone were just looking at Klaus and Mikel.

Mikel laughed at how upset Nikalus got. "Your impulse, Niklaus. It has and forever will be, the one thing that stops you from being truly great." A single tear rolled down Niklaus' eye. All he ever wanted, all he wished for his whole existence was just Mikel's acceptance.

Mikel stabbed Elena. Niklaus watched shocked as she fell to the floor. Bonnie screamed at the top of her lungs, crying and losing it as she witnessed her best friend's murder. She tried to fight of hybrid's grip. Not to save her anymore, but just to hug her lifeless body. Magic was useless, because words said in Latin were just that, words. She was too upset.

Everything was pointless. She just silently cried, not even trying to get away from hybrid's grip anymore.

Then, Damon ran from the back. He stabbed Niklaus in the spleen. Klaus fell to the floor, screaming in pain. It was a special dagger. A dagger created to kill an Original. Damon took the dagger out, ready to stab Niklaus right in the heart. End what's been scaring them for such a long time. Klaus' hybrid ran forward, the one holding Bonnie, even let her go, trying to see what he can do to save his master. But it looked like it's too late. Witch just fell to the ground, devastated by Elena's death.

Suddenly, Elena stood up. "Katherine." Mikel said in disbelief.

Katherine took the bombs out of her pockets and threw them at the hybrids. "No!" Caroline ran to protect Bonnie from the bomb and luckily, she was there in time, covering Bonnie's body with hers.

Damon was seconds away from killing Klaus when Stefan jumped onto him, pushing him away from the stabbed Original. Mikel turned around to see his non-biological son being free from the vampire and close to the dagger. He ran like hell and in his vampire speed, he was gone.

Mad, Klaus threw the dagger in his direction, but on it's way it almost hit Caroline and Bonnie who were slowly getting up. Seeing it missed them, Caroline yelled. "Seriously, that would be enough!"

Bonnie laughed, throwing her hands around her best friend. "Thank you Caroline." She said honestly. Caroline's coat was ruined and she had a few burns. "Are you okay?" Bonnie worried.

And just in that moment, Caroline wounds healed. Katherine ran and so did Damon, once Stefan let him go. Those two being next to Klaus right now, would be the dumbest decision ever. Stefan wanted to ran, but seeing he actually saved Klaus. He didn't worry for his safety.

Hybrid turned to younger Salvatore. "Thank you, my friend." The words he used provoked something hybrid didn't expect. Stefan punched him right in the face, so he punched him back. The two started to brutally fight.

Bonnie and Caroline, being only ones there, besides the two men fighting, witnessed the whole thing. "They'll stop soon." Caroline didn't care much. Certain that Klaus won't kill Stefan. He cared about him, he called him his friend. He could compel him to do just about anything but he never truly did. Not liked he did with Tyler. Stefan even managed steal Klauses coffins and live to tell. Klaus didn't try to kill him then, he sure as hell won't do it now, after Salvatore just saved him ass. "Let's go." She took Bonnie's hand.

Bonnie didn't listen. "Drive Matt home. Or even better, wait in the car, I'll send Stefan." Caroline couldn't believe what she was hearing. Two men where both impulsive, stubborn and aggressive and she, petite girl, thought she'll calm them down.

Seeing Caroline's distrust, Bonnie added. "He'll listen to me." Obviously referring to Klaus.

"Don't do anything stupid." Said Caroline before she hugged her best friend and left, just like the witch asked her too. She then walked over to vampire and hybrid who both managed to massacre the other one.

Easily, she gave them both strong aneurysm until they stopped fighting and were just screaming in pain. Pain was the only way she could get these two to listen. "Go home, Stefan. Caroline's waiting for you at the parking lot." She said.

"But you." Stefan protested. It was his idea that she seduces him, but now he wanted her to go with him, to leave Klaus all alone. Hoping he'll choke on his misery.

"I won't say it again, Stefan." Bonnie was annoyed he didn't just do as she told him. "I'll give you a migraine."

Stefan left, seeing he can't talk any sense into her.

"Well that was a stupid move." Klaus commented.
