"…are you insane."

"Just listen, Bonnie-"

"Bonnie is obviously the one that killed Elena."

"You don't know that. I think-"

"You think?" Stefan raised his hands up shoving Damon against the wall. "I think that you fell in love with Katherine and were too stupid to see that she hated you. I think you fell in love with Elena and you were too stupid to see she didn't love you either. Now you're too stupid to see that every scrap of evidence we've gathered pointing to Bonnie being the one who did this."

"I'd watch what you say before I remove your tongue brother." Damon growled pushing Stefan away from him. "Do you really think Bonnie could do this? Maybe mentally but physically, she's an oversized kitten."

"You used to say the same thing about-"

"Don't" Damon raised a hand to silence Stefan resisting the urge to pound Stefans head against the kitchen counter over and over. Damon had just explained why Bonnie was locked in the basement and his daring plan to get information out of her. Stefan was less then thrilled sure that Damon had lost his mind. Wasn't it less then a week ago they were in that bar, when one of the vampires had practically told them what Bonnie had done. "What do you expect me to do Stefan?"

"She needs to be dealt with."

"Dealt with?" Damon ran his fingers through his hair and let out an annoyed sigh. "Can you do that Stefan? Can you really kill someone you've known for years, someone that has risked her life to protect you and your friends?"

"I didn't say that." Stefan stiffened at the accusation. Though really he had no idea what he should do, he wasn't even sure how he should feel. He knew he was angry, that he finally had the person he'd been looking for and he had no idea what to do with her. She was a friend, she had fought beside him and now she was the enemy. "Fine, we'll talk to her."

Damon wasn't sure why he had bothered locking the door, maybe he still hadn't gotten used to the idea that young Bonnie wasn't human anymore, he knew she could have easily broken down the door with a swift kick if she really wanted to. He braced himself when he opened the door expecting Bonnie to try and make a break for it. Instead they found her sitting on the beat up bed legs crossed and eyes closed almost like she was meditating. The brothers exchanged looks at the weird state of the red haired girl, Damon thought perhaps he was loosing his touch if she could be so calm in such a tense situation. Bonnie briefly opened her eyes when they walked in but soon went back to her relaxed state. "He's right you know. I did do it."

Such a simple statement that even Stefan didn't know how to react to it. They had just been upstairs arguing over what happened and now instantly they knew. Bonnie tried to remain relaxed though they could see her body stiffen and her hands roll into tight fists. Like she was expecting one of them to pounce on her and rip her throat out. Stefan stepped forward shrugging of Damons hand when he tried to stop his brother.

"Bonnie." Stefan stood in front of her. "Bonnie look at me." Bonnie opened her eyes and looked up, her eyes grazed by his face but didn't meet his eyes before she looked away. "You can't can you? You act all tough like you're some stone cold killer but you're guilty, you feel guilty. So what am I supposed to do now Bonnie?"

"You're going to kill me," she nodded her head like she was confirming something then looked over at Damon "and you're not going to stop him."

"How noble, to face the executioner with such grace." Damon sneered walking over to the pair.

"Years ago I made a choice, maybe it wasn't the right choice but I've been running from it and now it's time I face the consequences."

"You made a choice?" Stefan looked at her almost in shock. "A choice? Bonnie I looked for her for two and a half years before someone told me she was dead. I looked everywhere thinking she was in danger, then that she just got sick of me and left. You killed her and you didn't even have the decency of telling me."

"Calm down Stefan." Damon placed his hand on Stefans shoulder when he saw the anger rise in his brother.

"No! I came to you for help, you invited me into your home and acted like nothing was wrong. I tried to help you and you smiled and thanked me but you knew that I was chasing after you." Stefan practically spit his accusation at Bonnie who still didn't meet his gaze. "Just say it. I just want to hear you say you killed her, you owe me that."

"Stefan…"

"Just say it!"

"Can I talk to you?" Damon asked shoving Stefan backwards away from Bonnie. He didn't give Stefan time to reply before he forced him out of the room. He slammed the door behind him leaving Bonnie alone once again. Stefan fumed too angry to talk he just glared at his brother who leaned against the door frame lost in thought. "What the fuck is going on?"

"Going on? She just confessed and you forced me leave the room!"

"She didn't confess to anything Stefan. Don't you find this whole situation to be off? Since we've got here people have been leading us on a wild goose chase, then we finally corner Bonnie and she just gives up just like that?"

"You heard her she tired of running."

"She wasn't tired of running a few hours ago."

"Bonnie did this Damon." Stefan crossed his arms and stood tall trying to intimidate his shorter brother, who returned with a condescending look. "…But maybe she had help. Look Damon I want revenge…but I know if I cross a line I might never come back. So if someone else is involved with this then maybe we let Bonnie go. Just remember you promised you'd end this and if Bonnie ends up being the one responsible you still keep that promise."

"No." Damon turned his head slightly to towards the door where the muffled voice came from. "You think I'm just going to sit around here waiting for you to come back and kill me? Do it now or don't do it at all." Damon rolled his eyes he could just picture the stubborn look she had right now on the other side of the door. Hands on her hips with a determined glare peeking out from behind her strawberry curls.

"Don't be so dramatic Red."

"Stefan you think I took Elena away from you." Bonnies voice softened it became almost compassionate. "That's not true, Elena died years ago. She died to protect the two of you from Katherine. I brought her back, I gave you three more years with her before I had to take her away."

"The last thing I need is two saints in my life." Damon rubbed his temples getting tired of the back and forth between his brother and the red head. "Either tell us you killed her or tell us where we can find someone who did."

"You two," Bonnie sighed "you seem to have forgotten that before I was a vampire I was witch." Damon would have laughed at such a measly threat if it weren't for the cold wind that swept over him. He tried to reach for the door handle but his body froze, he couldn't even move his fingers and was barely able to move his gaze over to Stefan and find him in the same state. The door swung open and out strode Bonnie with a triumphant look plastered on her face.

She started for the stairs but paused for a moment and turned back to Damon. She tilted her head so his frozen face could meet her eyes. She laid her hands on him, at first Damon thought she had another spell up her sleeve when she slid her hands underneath his jacket instead she reached into his pocket and took out his car keys.

"All you had to do was shut up and finish the job Damon." She said almost disappointedly. Inside Damon was struggling trying to break free of her spell and frankly she better pray he didn't because he was on the last morsel of self control and was in a shoot first ask questions later kind of mood. Bonnie looked at him once more, the sheer effort of keeping the spell active for so long was taking it's toll. A trickle of blood flowed from her nose and down her chin till it splattered drop by drop on the floor. Damon would have thought being a vampire would strengthen her magic though it seemed the opposite was true as before his eyes her skin paled and her stance wobbled. Bonnie knew she couldn't hold the spell much longer and made for the stairs once again. "You never fail to disappoint do you?"

Authors note: So this was a bit shorter then I was planning but I kinda needed to get it out of the way before the real drama starts. Also if any of you read my 'sweat love' I just reposted the first chapter and it is like a bazillion times better now and soon I will be reposting all the chapters (I'm also going to repost the older chapters from this story s well…eventually at least.) Also anyone want to guess what's really happening? Who thinks Bonnie did it vs who thinks Bonnies covering for someone.
