Bonnie breathed out a smile as she sat across from her friends who she hasn't seen in close to a week. Since Klaus told her that they were meeting in too public of places and that he had eyes and ears everywhere, they decided to meet up in the Salvatore chamber back at the boardinghouse where no vampire or hybrid could get in without being invited in by herself since the brothers signed the house over to her. She made sure to set up the place a little then teleported her friends there just in case they were being watched or followed.

Caroline and Elena looked at her strangely seeing her so chipper and oddly so since today was the big day and they figured that she'd be anything but happy. Caroline voiced this thought and she told them that it was because she was rested and energized. They wanted to know what was different and she told them that it was all thanks to her plan of sleeping alone.

It was torture for the boys, they acted like animals every time she would step foot out of her room, but she never broke, not even once and she thought that this was not only a great opportunity of herself, but for them as well. She wants a relationship with the boys that doesn't include sex all the time and she hoped that with her denying them for all this time they would learn how to do other things with her, less mechanical things like watch movies or take her for a drive downtown or just simply talk. She was glad when they started to do just that and parts of her wanted to delay the spell for next week, but she knew that that would be pushing it.

It was a full moon out tonight which was the best time to perform a spell that needed this much power, but she was ready for it. The only thing that she truly feared was when the spell is said and done was that random dead hybrids would be scattered here and there causing fright to all. Sheriff Forbes, her deputies, and Stefan and Damon put those worries to rest saying that they'll dispose of them as fast as they could. If she had enough energy afterwards, she'd put a cloaking spell over them, but that was a big "if".

"I don't want to be a downer," Elena started, "but what if the spell is too much for you to handle?"

"Stefan talked me in to drinking some of his blood, so if I happen to die, I'll turn but I'm still not sure if I want to."

"Did you tell him that?"

Bonnie shook her head, "No. I mean more than likely I will but there's this part of me that screams for me to not do it."

"Whatever you decide," Caroline started, "we'll support you. I mean we wouldn't want to see you die, but if that's what you decide then we'll deal."

"Yeah, and who knows, maybe you won't need the help of Stefan's blood."

The girls nodded and Bonnie offered then a tight lipped smile. They talked for a little longer discussing the plan for tonight before Bonnie proofed them back home.

Damon would never admit this to anyone but he was scared. Nervous that she couldn't do this. He believes in her but there's this tiny part in him that wants to tell her to not do this. What if he loses her? What if she dies, he'll never find anyone like her again and he'd wind up like he was years ago stuck on Katherine but this time it would be Bonnie.

His thoughts transferred to his brother and knew, just knew that he'll have to deal with Ripper Stefan and that was something that he was not looking forward to fixing. If things went wrong tonight, they would have a long lasting effect.

He looked down at her and kissed her head as she was sleeping and held her close. He hated he fact that she used magic today even if it was just teleportation, he wanted her to save all the strength that she had. There's hundreds of hybrids in Mystic Falls and there's no telling if Klaus if making more as they sit here.

Damon pulled her in close and let out a breath before looking up when his brother walked in pressing his back against the wall.

"How's she doing?"

"Good. I told her to sleep since she's not only used magic but practiced the spell for about an hour so I thought she needed some rest."

Stefan nodded the pushed himself from the wall to walk up closer to his brother and love sitting on the chair next to his bed.

"I'm not sure how you're going to take this, Damon, but I figure I'd tell you."

"What?"

"I talked her into drinking some of my blood. Just in case everything goes south, we'll still have her… that is if she wants to turn."

"You don't think she will?"

He shrugged, "I don't know. I mean she's a witch and even though she's with us, it's kind of in her instincts to hate vampires and I'm not sure if she'll want to be one. Although I love her with all I have, I'm not sure if I want her to turn. Vampirism is a curse, not a blessing."

Damon studied his brother in thought. By the look of his face he knew that if Bonnie chose to not turn, he may just kill himself with her and they die together like The Notebook and he wouldn't be able to handle that. He can't lose the love of his life and his brother all in the same day and he starts to wonder if he'd be beside his brother walking into the sunset with him.

He jumped a little feeling her stir in his arms and by the smile that was brought to his brother's face, he knows that she's awake.

"Hey, sleepyhead."

Bonnie smiled over at her first love. "Hey."

Stefan smiled at her looking into her eyes stopping himself from touching and kissing her. Bonnie wiped her eyes sitting up and smiled at Damon before getting up telling them that she was going to get ready.

Bonnie took a deep breath watching the moon. It's close to reaching its apex and she felt like she was in a boxing match. She was nervous but ready all at the same time, she jumped around a little to loosen herself up and she had her friends in her corner to catch her if she falls.

Stefan and Damon were in town at the bar that many hybrids go to compelling the humans there to not be frightened of what's about to happen. They hoped that since the spell would be said when it's late in the night that most of the townsfolk would be in their houses in bed. A lot knew to not stay out late especially if they're not going to the club or out for a late dinner with a friend. They had the deputies in patrol cars waiting to pick up the people that fall—everything was in place.

"It's time." Bonnie turned to her friends.

They nodded and their hands started to shake feeling nervous for her but they wouldn't let it show. Elena texted Damon letting him know that she's starting.

Bonnie took a deep breath starting the spell, first whispering then as the words rolled off her tongue, she got louder until she was practically shouting.

Jeffery was talking up a girl that he met almost an hour ago. Usually he's not the relationship type, but this woman was everything he was looking for. Rockin body, beautiful smile, youthful face, lots experience not only in the bedroom but in life as well, she was the one. He was just about to ask to take her home when a sharp pain hit him. Melissa looked at him strangely asking if he was OK and he told her that he was fine when the pain faded, but then it hit him again and this time harder causing him to knock over. She called out for help and that's when Stefan rushed to her side and looked into her eyes telling her to go home.

There was a roar of pain coming from others and soon they started to dropping like flies that sprayed with Raid. The brothers grabbed as many as they could speeding them over to the ditch they digged tossing them in before going back for more.

Bonnie felt herself growing weak but she still had words to be said. Caroline looked over at Elena when they saw her start to sway and lose her balance. They silently agreed to hold her steady and that's when they noticed the blood that was running down her nostril.

"Bonnie, stop." Elena tried but she kept going.

"Bonnie, you don't have to do this, please stop." It was Caroline's turn but that failed too.

The spell only went on a minute later, and once she spoke the last word, Bonnie fell back only to be caught by her friends. They called out her name trying to get her to open her eyes but eventually decided to take her home to get her more comfortable.

They sat on either side of her watching her rest on the bed. Her heart was beating so they knew that she was still very much alive but equally drained. They wanted to touch her and hold her in their arms until she wakes, but neither thought that they had the right to claim her like that.

Her waking up, which they knew would be soon, was the last of their problems since they knew that they had to deal with Klaus. They may have managed to rid the dropped hybrids from around town but they were sure that hybrids were in his home and it would be expected that he make a visit. The spell wasn't powerful enough to kill him, but he was affected by it so once he returns to his full strength, he'd show.

Bonnie looked at herself in the mirror checking out her attire. She was better and had been for a couple of days but asked the boys to give her some space during those days which is why she decided to stay at her place for a little.

They weren't happy about that at all and made it known, but she didn't change her mind. She needed rest and space and knew that she wouldn't get any of that over at their house in the woods.

Stefan had called the other day just to check in and asked her to go out on a date with him. She smiled and agreed only if they went the next day. She figured an extra day wouldn't hurt and she was right. Looking at herself in the mirror, she noticed that her eyes regained its original color, she was no longer pale, and her hair naturally shined.

The doorbell rung bringing a smile to her face and she quickly headed down the stairs to answer the door, keeping that smile as she opened it.

Thirty minutes earlier

Stefan straightened out his shirt trying his hardest to not smile because he could finally see his girl in person. They've FaceTime'd throughout her days of isolation but after a few days he asked to see her and luckily she accepted.

Damon and himself had actually made a pact to not physically see her until she decides that she's ready but he just couldn't handle it and figured that he'd ask her out first before Damon did—which he knew he would've.

Once his attire was close to perfection, he sprayed her favorite cologne of his and headed downstairs.

"And where are you going?" Damon asked.

"I'm going to see Bonnie. See if she's doing alright."

Before Damon could object, he was already out the door and soon heard his motorcycle start up. Damon sat his drink down in thought then quickly decided to give Bonnie a visit too.

Stefan hops off his bike grabbing the rose that he stopped at the store for before walking up and ringing the doorbell. He smiled hearing the knob twist and his face dropped when he didn't see Bonnie but Damon.

"At first I thought that you beat me here, but now that I know that isn't the case, that means we have bad news."

"What are you talking about?"

"Bonnie isn't here. She was expecting your visit, right, so she wouldn't just leave."

Stefan quickly pulled out his phone to call her and felt his anger surface when she didn't answer but Klaus.

"Stefan, I was wondering when you were going to call."

"Touch her you die." Hearing that, Damon decided to listen in.

"Easy with the threats, besides I'm the one who should be mad, this triangle that you're in destroyed my hybrids so I think it's only fair if I take Bonnie."

"Where is she?"

"She's alive and that's all that you need to know."

"Prove it. Let me talk to her."

Stefan waited knowing that Klaus was debating on his demand but let out a breath when her voice entered his ear.

"Stefan," her voice was tired.

"Baby, where-"

"I'm sorry, Stefan, I thought it was you, I should've checked, but I thought it was you."

"It's okay, baby, just tell me where you are."

"I- I don't know, it's dark, they knocked me out, I don't know where I am."

"We'll get you. Damon and I will get you, I promise. I love you."

"I-"

"Well that's enough chatter for today."

"What do you want Klaus? What's the point of all this?"

"Well thanks to Bonnie here, I no longer have my hybrids which means that I have to start from square one and I think it's only fair that the witch help me with that. Then who knows, maybe I'll let her go, maybe I'll kill her or… maybe I'll just keep her and have her join my team. She's a beautiful one isn't she?"

"If you but so much lay a finger-" Stefan was cut off from his threat when the call ended and growled in frustration.

Damon placed his hand on his brother's shoulder trying to calm him. He too was upset but in his eyes they were wasting time. They should use that energy to be finding Bonnie and not crying about it, and that's what he told his brother.

Bonnie for one was surprised on how she was being treated. She was kept in basically a suite with Renaissance decor. She felt like Queen Elizabeth wherever she was and she wasn't sure how she should feel about it. She heard Klaus telling Stefan that he may keep her here so maybe he was trying to get her to willingly stay instead of forcefully.

At first, she thought that she would be kept in that cold chamber-like place but now she realized that it was all for show. As soon as Klaus ended the call, he had her taken upstairs by a fellow witch to be changed and fed. She tried getting the witch—that she learned who's name is Ann—to tell her a way out, but she wouldn't budge.

Bonnie got up from her bed quietly peeking out the door not really sure if it was completely effective since vampires could hear the most smallest of sounds, but she didn't want to chance it. She walked down the halls making sure to stay in the shadows and checked behind her periodically trying to find a phone since her cell was being held by Klaus. Instead of a phone, she found something better; a door. The front door. Her way out.

Klaus didn't make anymore hybrids yet so she knew that no one would be walking around the property guarding it so it was her time to leave. Her only downfall was that he had no idea where she was but all of that didn't matter now, this would probably be her only shot. Looking back she saw no one there so she thought he make her move.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."

He cursed in her head then turned to face Ann. "Why?"

"Klaus will have you killed."

"Please, if Klaus wanted me dead, I'd be dead already."

"True. But I still wouldn't do that, you'll be nothing but ultimately disappointed."

"What's so disappointing about my freedom from this place?"

When Ann said nothing further, Bonnie made her move and twisted the knob. She was expecting someone to be out there blocking her exit but there was no one. A smile came to her face and she bolted out the door, running as fast as her legs could push. She needed to make it to the woods so she could climb on a tree so she could see her way.

That plan unfortunately failed when she was pushed back by an invisible force and upon further expecting, noticed that the force was actually a barrier spell surrounding the house. She wasn't sure if Ann had just spelled it on to keep her out, but something tells her that it was always there. Klaus wouldn't have made it that easy to escape.

"Don't you get it," Ann said startling Bonnie some, "there's no way out, your boyfriends can't even save you. Not from this one. So don't waste your energy trying to escape."

And just like that, Ann was gone leaving Bonnie standing there alone.

A/N: How do you think Bonnie will escape this one?
