AN: Not much interaction between Kol and Bonnie just yet. I want to make their relationship take time and not rush things. Please read and review!
CHAPTER TWO
Treading slowly across the cold night, not that he felt anything; Kol became aware of the surrounding trees and night animals.
"If you can hear me Bennet witch, please answer my calls," Kol yelled, bushing a tree branch out of his face. "I want to hurry home now," Kol whined.
For the last forty something minutes, Kol had his super hearing on maximum, hoping to hear signs of breathing or rustling from Bonnie. However the woods sounded strangely quiet. He even feared that Bonnie may be lying somewhere with the rocks and dirt as her deathbed.
Kol cursed at Rebecca from under his breath. She wouldn't send him all the way here in the night just to collect the enemy's witch dead body, would she? If she wanted to be cruel, she would have told the annoying Salvatore brothers the witch's whereabouts and have them collect her. But then he wondered, would the Salvatores even care that their witch might be dead when a dead Elena was also in the equation?
He chuckled silently to himself. He found it so amusing that somebody like Bonnie who had claimed her existence in life was to protect her friends and her town wouldn't be missed so much after everything she has done for them. At least if he died, he knew Rebecca, Elijah and even Klaus would miss him even if they don't show it. And he wouldn't even be technically dead, just immobile.
His ears finally perked up, hearing a slow and soft heartbeat. Just what he wanted to hear! Speeding off to the left, Kol hurried to where Bonnie laid.
Bending down, Kol examined the witch. She didn't look too hurt, more exhausted than anything else. Kol sighed once before picking up Bonnie and securing her arms around his neck and her legs around his hips, getting ready to piggyback her to somewhere warm. Which was where she needed to be, her skin was almost like ice as their exposed skin made contact. Her cheek against his neck made him shiver. He never touched any human, or at least alive, before who was cold as Bonnie was at the moment. For once, thinking about somebody else's welfare, Kol sped off to the direction of the Salvatore Boardinghouse.
Hearing the continuous knocking of the front door, Damon finally made an effort to answer it. He was going to gnaw off the person's head for making such a loud ruckus at this time at night after the events that unfolded hours earlier.
Damon swung the door wide open and became awake after seeing just who greeted him on the other side of the door. "About time Salvatore, thought you might want your witch back. Or is she not useful to you guys anymore?" Kol asked, smudged as he smirked at the surprise look on Damon's face that appeared for a second.
Damon rolled his eyes, he wasn't in the mood to deal with Kol. Instead, he just reached out his arms and brought Bonnie's small frame into his arms.
"Might want to keep her warm, she's been lying in the woods for some time now."
"How the hell did you even know where she was?" Damon hissed. He didn't want to tell the Original that he was actually worried about Bonnie's sake and have been calling her cellphone repeatedly before assuming Bonnie was ignoring his calls for a reason.
Kol shrugged his shoulders. "Rebecca gave me the heads up. Why? I wouldn't know," Kol answered. "Though I assume Rebecca might be the reason why the witch was passed out cold in the woods."
"Figures," Damon said, rolling his eyes.
"Well I believe you owe me a 'thank you'," Kol said, smirking wide. He could tell Damon felt uncomfortable.
"I owe you nothing!" Damon spat, slamming the door on Kol.
Chuckling, Kol walked down the steps of the mansion while shaking his head. "Ungrateful bastard," He mumbled, kicking dirt.

Gently settling Bonnie down onto his bed, Damon gave one look at her while contemplating whether or not to give her some of his blood. The last thing he wanted was for her to die on him in the middle of the night. But he also didn't want something happening to Bonnie with his blood in her system. He and Stefan didn't need to handle two girls transitioning into vampires in the same day. Giving his head a shake, Damon wondered if Elena has already woken up. Stefan had brought her back to her house a couple hours ago thinking that she might want to wake up in a soothing environment as the Salvatore mansion might be intimidating for her.
Stroking her hair once, Damon whispered to Bonnie. "Always fighting alone huh witch?" He turned his back to Bonnie before making his way to Stefan's room.
Morning came late for Bonnie when she opened her eyes and found herself in unfamiliar setting. Gripping her head when she felt a massive headache coming on, she through her legs over the large bed. "Why am I here?" Bonnie moaned.
"'Cause you were reckless last night, that's why?" Damon answered, rolling his eyes unimpressed.
Bonnie frowned at the sight of Damon. He didn't sound like he was too happy to see her today even though she thought they left of somewhat good terms last night.
"What the hell possessed you to go after Rebecca last night?" Damon asked angrily.
Bonnie bit her lip. Oh, now she remembered what happened last night. "I don't know, but I knew I couldn't just sit around and do nothing," Bonnie answered, her anger showing too. She gripped the wooden railings from where she stood at the top of the stairs. "I was mad and I wanted to do some damage to her."
Damon scuffed. "Obviously that failed." Bonnie frowned but didn't say anything. "Well you might not want to kill her so fast. She's the reason why you're here and not alone somewhere freezing in the woods."
Bonnie's frowned disappeared and her face was replaced with a confused and astonished look. "And why would she do that?"
Damon shrug his shoulders, walking pass Bonnie on the stairs. "Like I would know. Might want to ask the one who delivered you to me."
Bonnie sighed. She didn't really care about Rebecca's reasoning in saving her. She didn't really care. She didn't need to feel like she owed Rebecca anything. And she truly didn't. Not after what she's done for Klaus.
Rubbing her temples again. "Where's Elena?" She asked, hesitantly.
"At her house with Stefan and Jeremy. She woke up at around five in the morning."
"How's she doing?" Bonnie asked. Her heart felt like it dropped to the ground.
"Alright I guess," Damon said as he started to walk away from Bonnie. "She has Stefan."
Bonnie nodded. "Well I'm going to drop by. You can join me if you want."
Damon shook his head. "She'll see me when she wants to." He pauses. "You might want to take it easy, you've been out in the cold for some time last night," He then disappeared into his room.
Bonnie stared at the closed door. Was it her imagination or did Damon's back look sad? Sighing, Bonnie made her way out of the Boardinghouse. She needed to get home and shower. The inside of her body felt hot and she feel a cold coming on. Plus she felt dirty with all the dirt under her nails and mud plastered all over her clothes and exposed skin.
She was almost out the front door when her chest fell. "Crap," she mumbled to herself. "Hey Damon!" Bonnie called out loud enough for him to hear from the second floor of the mansion. "I need a ride home!"
After taking a shower and getting dressed into fresh smelling clothes, Bonnie was about to make her way to Elena's to see how she was doing and to make her day light ring, something Bonnie never wanted to make for her. Caroline had called her minutes ago and said that she was already there.
"Why hello there, Bonnie," Klaus said, smiling at her when she opened the door. "Hope I didn't surprise you too much," Klaus smirked. He could hear Bonnie's quickened heart beat.
"What are you doing here?" Bonnie asked, regaining herself as she gave Klaus a cold stare.
"Well I was just checking in to see if you were alright."
"I'm fine, now if you would excuse me," Bonnie said, walking pass Klaus as their bodies touched slightly sending a cold tingle down Bonnie's body.
"Not going to thank me?"
"For what? I doubt it was you who brought be to Damon last night," Bonnie stated.
"True, but I was the one who sent Kol out," Klaus said.
Kol saved her? Now that just sounded too weird and highly unlikely.
"Well you shouldn't have," Bonnie said coldly. She made her way down the driveway and realized that her car wasn't there. She cursed, running hand through her thick locks of brown hair.
Klaus smirked, walking up to stand beside Bonnie. Dangling his keys in front of Bonnie, he nodded his head to his car. "Need a ride? I'll drop you off," Klaus said.
"I'd rather walk."
"I insist."
"Why would you want to do that?"
Smiling evilly. "I'm sure I'm heading the same way you are and I want to show off my new body," Klaus answered. "I'm sure Caroline would want to see me."
Getting into the car with Klaus, Bonnie glared threateningly at him. "I didn't put you in Tyler's body so you can manipulate Caroline. I'm warning you, stay away from her." She was going to walk but if Klaus was going to Elena's house, she didn't want him to get there ahead of her. Who knows what might he do. At least for now, she can keep an eye on him.
"Bonnie, Bonnie, Bonnie," Klaus sang. "Your threats mean nothing to me. And you should know by now, I don't stop until I get what I want and I get what I want at any means."
Bonnie shivered in her skin but stood her ground. "Don't think Caroline is easy."
"Trust me, darling. Caroline is exactly the opposite of easy," Klaus said.
The ride to the Gilbert's house was quiet, neither Klaus nor Bonnie bothered to have a decent conversation. Luckily, they arrived at the Gilberts in no time.
Bonnie felt anxious as she made her way into Elena and Jeremy's house with Klaus following behind her. Was she a traitor to her friends by allowing Klaus in? But what was she going to do? It wasn't like Klaus was going to leave if she asked him politely. But Klaus wasn't stupid, he isn't going to go right out and tell everybody he's actually him in Tyler's body.
"Calm down dear, I can hear your heartbeat thundering against your chest," Klaus whispered into Bonnie's ear, his breath against her skin. "No need to be nervous, I'm just a 'friend' checking up on another friend," he winked before pushing passed her and straight into the house.
"Bonnie!" Elena said, jumping up from the sofa she was seated in. The drapes of the living room were shut tightly, preventing any sunlight from getting in. Caroline and Stefan were also in the living room seated on the other sofa.
"How are you feeling?" Bonnie asked, enveloping Elena into a tight hug.
"Exactly how Damon and Stefan explained," Elena said. "My throat is dry and my emotions are heightened. "I honesty don't know how I feel right now. I'm too confused."
"You'll get used to it," Caroline said, getting up from her seat and placing a soft hand on Elena's shoulder. "I got through it and we all know you're stronger than me."
"That's not quite true," Klaus said, making his presence known.
"Tyler, I didn't think you'd be here," Elena said. "But thanks." Bonnie tensed as she saw the soft and grateful look Elena gave to Klaus.
"I was going to check up on you later, Tyler," Caroline said, moving closer to Klaus. "I'm glad to see you're looking fine and still 'here'."
"Why are you still here?" Stefan asked, standing up and taking a protective stance in front of the girls. "I'm glad to see you alive, but Klaus is dead. Wouldn't that mean you should be too?"
"Stefan!" Caroline cried out. "We all should be dead, Klaus' blood is what made us too," She stated.
"Well you can all thank Bonnie for being alive," Klaus said, turning to smile at Bonnie who watched him curiously from Elena's side.
"What do you mean?" Elena asked, looking over at Bonnie.
"She saved me."
"What the hell! Why would you tell them that?" Bonnie yelled, confusing the others as they didn't know what either Bonnie or 'Tyler' was talking about. "What are you doing?"
"What's going on, Bonnie?" Elena asked.
"Let's me make this very clear," Klaus started to say. "I'm not Tyler, but Klaus. Please get accustomed to my new 'look' for the time being."
Every head turned towards Bonnie and the look on their faces told her everything.
