Bonnie was silently sitting on the bed, with her knees close to her chest and her arms tightly around her legs, she was staring at her feet, without a readable expression and Kol was feeling more helpless than ever.

"Bonnie?" He tried again.

There was no reaction from her, ever since she woke up, that Bonnie was passive and without emotions.

He hoped that Caroline could do what he couldn't and left the room searching for the blonde.

Caroline was waiting in the hallway and immediately met him halfway. "How is she?"

"Perhaps she will talk to you."

Immediately, Caroline headed to the room.

Things were out of his control for now, so Kol started pacing down the hallway until he found the exit.

There was very little happening in a town like Mystic Falls and that extended to the calmness he found outside of the hospital.

Klaus stopped by Kol's side with an ear to land and his silent support.

"She doesn't talk, she doesn't yell, she doesn't cry, she doesn't do anything. She has just been sitting there, unresponsive."

"I reckon that she needs time to understand what really happened to her." Klaus quietly gave his opinion.

"I expected her to be angry at me, or sad... or anything, really."

"She needs time." Klaus looked at Kol.

Kol said nothing, time was something that Bonnie didn't have, somehow, she always seemed to be short of it.

Caroline knocked on the door and slowly came inside, smiling at Bonnie. "Hey…"

Bonnie didn't even raise her eyes from the bed.

"I know how you feel... everything is strange right now and you don't really understand what's going on with your body and you can listen to everything a mile away, and yet you can't feel your own heartbeat and that will take some time getting used to..." Caroline slowly explained.

"I'm dead. That's very simple to me." Bonnie finally said.

Caroline reached out to touch Bonnie's hand. "It doesn't have to be like that... you're not alone, because we're all here to help you but it is your choice from now on. What we did... was just a way to give you an option, Bonnie."

Bonnie looked up with tears in her eyes. "Wouldn't I have healed with his blood?"

"Our blood doesn't heal a grave illness like cancer. It heals cuts, bruises, even broken bones heal faster because of it but it's not a miracle drink. It doesn't heal death and we couldn't wait any longer to turn you, because we were losing you fast and we couldn't risk it. We just had to do it..."

"I didn't ask for this." Bonnie's voice broke.

"We didn't want to lose you." Caroline whispered.

Bonnie shook her head. "You were turned against your will... you should've known how I would feel."

"I'm sorry, Bonnie." Caroline placed a ring on the bed slowly.

Bonnie recognized the ring instantly, it was the same one that belonged to her mother, and she started crying, while Caroline somberly added a blood bag to the other item on the bed.

"I want to be alone." Bonnie asked.

"Bon..."

"Just leave, Caroline." Bonnie turned away from her friend, she hugged her legs tightly and rocked back and forth with heavy tears.

The blonde felt a big breakdown coming but she understood how Bonnie needed time alone.

She was already in tears by the time she found Kol on his way to the room.

"Did she talk to you?" He urgently asked for news.

"She doesn't want anyone in there with her, but she shouldn't be alone."

It was what Kol wanted to hear, and he quickly went to the room.

Quietly Klaus approached Caroline. "Love…"

Caroline moved away from him before he could touch her. "I'm fine."

"You're not."

"Yes, I am. Just... stop being so overbearing all the time. Jesus, just let me breathe, will you?" She snapped at him and started to walk away fast.

Kol was wearing his heart on his sleeve when he stepped inside of that room, regardless of her decision he would have to accept it, but he was by no means ready to lose her.

Bonnie was on her feet and wearing the clothes that Rebekah arranged for her, she was standing by the window and instead of crying, she was now thoughtful instead.

"How are you feeling?" He asked her softly.

When Bonnie turned around to face him, Kol noticed how her eyes were greener, how her caramel skin was glowing and how she looked more exotic and beautiful than ever, he looked at the bed and found the blood bag empty.

"Bonnie..." He whispered happily, before pulling her to him and kissing her.

Bonnie answered his kiss with a new showing of passion, she kissed him differently from the way that she usually kissed him because she was making sure that she would remember this kiss.

It dawned on Kol, and he hastily hauled away from her.

"I'm not staying, Kol."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm leaving tonight."

"I did this so that I wouldn't lose you." He was a bit dazzled at the moment.

She looked away from him to the window. "I need to get away from here."

"Why?" He made her look at him by taking her arms and turning her around to face him.

"I can't be with you, right now. I need to be alone and to get away from this town." She dropped her voice, showing just how hurt she was.

"You mean away from me…" He couldn't decide if he wanted to hold her closer or to let her go altogether.

Bonnie made the decision for him. "I love you, Kol. I will always love you. For eternity now, I suppose, but this is it. This is the end of us. You turned me into something that I didn't want to be, and I need time to figure out who I am now."

"You're doing what your mother did, you're walking out on everyone that loves you." He resentfully said.

"I guess that in the end, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree." She started walking to the door.

"This isn't you." Kol called her out.

She quickly turned around. "And who am I?" She shouted. "A witch without a heart or your new vamped-up girlfriend?"

"Someone I can't lose." He answered straight from his heart.

"This isn't about you…" She painfully said. "I woke up so confused…"

Her soft voice only made everything harder, but Kol still had it in him to fight for her and for what they had.

"You have to let us help you." He was close enough to cradle her face between his hands. "I will give you the space and the time for you to find your ground as a vampire, but you have to stay with us."

Sadly, she looked at him steadily before she uttered the sharp words. "I'm not confused about that."

His world closed in just a bit more and this time he did nothing to stop her from leaving.

"Why would she leave?" Caroline asked incredulously.

Kol was too heartbroken to speak up.

"I was just outside, and I didn't see her leave... and she didn't even say goodbye to us." Rebekah was stunned by the strange departure as well.

"This isn't happening..." Caroline shook her head.

"It just did and you're as guilty as we all are for rushing her transformation." Kol countered fractious.

"You don't have to attack me, we all agreed on this." Caroline's mood changed as well.

"She was your friend, and you were the last one to speak to her, why didn't you realize that she wasn't well?"

"You're her boyfriend!" Caroline raised her voice. "And she left the house because of you."

Kol snarled under his breath.

From a distance, Klaus was watching them, and he was ready to put an end to this idiotic quarrel, but Kol was the first to leave.

Caroline anxiously covered her face, feeling like this was a nightmare.

"She'll be back soon, I'm sure of it." Rebekah said.

"Like you were sure that cutting off her connection to Kol was the right thing to do?"

Rebekah pulled back the hand that had been comforting Caroline, hurt by that.

"Everyone just needs to stop touching me." She left the hospital room troubled.

Fishing for a hug, Rebekah looked at Klaus.

Easily, he smiled at her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "Come on, love. I'll drive you to Damon's. Our house isn't the safest place for a human, right now."

"You're going to be in the middle of two explosive personalities clashing against each other." She pointed out her worry.

"If you don't hear from me until tomorrow morning, know that I had a good life, sister. And that my fortune left in the will is generous." He smirked.

"How generous?" Rebekah inquired, curious.

"Royally generous." He whispered with a crooked smile.

Katherine parked her car in front of the big house and exited the car uneasily.

It wasn't a meeting that she was looking forward to having, but procrastinating wasn't an option, so she decidedly strutted to the front door.

A girl dressed elegantly, opened the door for her.

"Eric is waiting for me." Katherine said.

"Follow me." The girl led her through a vast lobby to a big wide staircase that gave access to another floor.

On her heels, Katherine didn't miss the fresh tattoo that was exposed because of the way that the girl had her hair caught up in a neat, sophisticated bun.

"Last door on the right." The girl instructed from the beginning of a long corridor.

Katherine glanced at all the doors before her, before she made the long walk.

Inside of a large office, a blond man was waiting for her.

"Do you know why I've called you here?" Eric asked from behind a huge desk.

"If you came all the way to Mystic Falls, it's because it's important." She said from the door.

He didn't make her comfortable at all and if it was up to her, she wasn't going to stay inside of a room with him.

"The old man finally decided to make a move." Eric stood up and neared Katherine with a haughty smile. "He will enjoy seeing you again."

Katherine laughed, trying to keep her nervousness well hidden. "I'll be long gone with Stefan by the time he arrives in town."

He chuckled. "If he wants you here, I suggest that you don't stray too far off. I truly hate when he sends me out to hunt vampires."

"I did what you asked of me. I gave you all the information and the pictures that I could, I even told you about the little bug that was after Damon and in return I was promised to be left out of all of this with Stefan."

"Weren't you trying to protect Damon as well?" Eric asked with a teasing smile.

"And you wanted to get on Klaus's good side."

He rolled his eyes. "He's hard to impress. Both of them are."

"You don't really like your Alpha, do you?"

On the second, Eric had his hand wrapped around her neck. "Didn't curiosity kill the Kat?"

She gave him a fake smile. "Funny..."

"We're done here." He pushed her away.

Katherine glared at him, with a stinging neck.

Caroline was waiting for Klaus in their bedroom, she was already wearing one of her nightgowns and she was sitting on the edge of the bed, nervously twiddling her fingers.

Klaus rested his phone and keys on the nightstand and silently looked at her.

"I was a massive jerk today... to everyone." She started off in a low voice. "I lashed out big time."

"I'm aware." Klaus quietly responded before kneeling in front of her.

He moved a wayward golden lock that was falling across her face and smiled at her.

"Thank you for not lashing back, and for not taking my head off." She whispered.

Klaus squinted. "I don't fancy sleeping with headless bodies. It's all very dark and twisted, if you were to ask me, and it would certainly murder the mood between us."

Caroline laughed softly.

"You can take it out on me anytime you need. I'm built to endure it."

"Thank you for that." Her palms warmed his face while she leaned over to kiss him on the lips.

"Were you at Bonnie's house?" He guessed.

Caroline nodded. "She really left." She expelled this harsh breath of air. "Why does everyone always leave me? I'm so tired of it."

"I'm still here." He mused.

She smiled. "Now, but you left me as well in the past."

"Will you ever be able to forgive me for that atrocious act?"

"I need another 100 years to think about it."

"Perhaps, one day I will be able to erase this shameful memory from your mind." He stroked her cheek.

"You can try..."

"I know that I'm already sentenced to die by treason here, but I'm not perfect."

"You are such a liar, Niklaus..." She smiled, enamored with her truth.

"Do you want me to find Bonnie? I can send people after her and bring her back to you." He offered her the possibility.

She glided her thumb across his cheek with a small smile. "If she decides to come back, I'll be over the moon but for now..."

He kissed her, respecting her wish.

"... I know, mom... I'll be home soon, ok? I'm driving and talking on the phone, so how bad is that?" The girl huffed. "I'm hanging up now."

She threw her phone on the passenger seat and focused on the dark road ahead.

"When are they going to start putting some lights on this damn sinister road?" She mumbled.

At least the music on the radio was known and she turned it up, to sing along a bit, she stopped midway to the chorus when she noticed something strange, ahead.

There was a man standing on the road and she pushed the speeding pedal hard, she wasn't going to stop in the middle of nowhere, over some random guy standing there.

He was going to rob her, or worse, kill her.

Suddenly, he was gone, and she gulped down nervously. She looked behind but she couldn't see him anywhere.

Turning the radio down, she reached for her phone and called 911 for help, it was busy, so she was going to call her boyfriend instead.

While glancing up to the road, the strange man was standing just in front of her and in instinct she stopped the car by hitting the brake hard.

In a matter of seconds, he vanished again and shaking she pressed her thumb against the screen to repeat the last call, the only sound inside of the car now was her breath out of control.

"911, what's your emergency?"

She brought her phone closer to her mouth. "I need help, there's a man outside of my car trying to hurt me."

"What's your location?"

"I'm in the middle of frigging nowhere." She fought with the GPS app on her phone. "Why won't you work?" She yelled at it.

After a first confusing location, the app started to narrow down her exact coordinates and she was about to transmit them to the police when a huge shattering noise made her scream scared.

The man broke the window in the passenger side and rested his elbows on the frame with a handsome smile for her.

"Who are you?" She yelled, trying to open her door. "Oh God, what do you want from me?"

She stumbled out of the car but quickly got up, she started running as fast as she could with her phone secured in her hand.

"Help me, please help me." She started crying, desperate for help.

"Please keep this call going, what's your name, miss?"

"Bella." The girl cried, while running down the road and further away from the car.

"Bella, is the man chasing you. Can you see him?"

She used a small sparkle of courage to look back but there was no one after her.

Slowly she stopped running and turned around. "I can't see him." She whispered.

Appearing just behind her, Kol licked his fangs before grabbing her.

He covered her mouth and the horrible yell that she let out, as he roughly bit her and started draining her.

The phone slid out of her hand as her body started to become boneless and she closed her eyes, feeling a strange warmth that covered her from head to toe.

Kol ruthlessly drained her blood, her life and buried himself in the exhilarating sensation of fresh blood taking over everything.

He dropped her lifeless body and closed his eyes, letting the blood fill his hollow chest, at least for now he wasn't thinking of her and of those green eyes that took his very soul away with them when she left him.

Kol left the dead girl in the middle of the road, he didn't even bother with it, he just didn't care.

Angelus rushed on his way to the courtyard, he wanted to run but his big size and the number of cigars that damaged his lungs made it all too hard for him.

"I actually thought that my women had heard wrong, but I see that they got the name right." He was struck to find Bonnie Bennett in his house, wearing all black and as a vampire, of this he was sure of.

"I didn't know that I would end up here myself." She quietly said.

But Angelus was no fool, the woman before his eyes was far from the sweet girl who danced with Kol on a hot summer night in his terrace.

"You have been turned since we last saw each other."

"Yes." She took a folded paper from inside of her short leather jacket. "I need these things."

Angelus' eyes widened as he saw the list, the things in here were rare and hard to get, mostly because they were either illegal or one of a kind.

"What are you planning to do with these?"

"I need them for a spell."

Angelus laughed. "Child… I can't perform a spell like this. I'm more than old for even trying it and not nearly as half as powerful as it requires."

He searched for a cigar in the table behind him, he lit up a match but before the fire touched it, the cigar was lit by itself.

When he slowly turned around, Bonnie explained.

"I knew it as soon as I had the blood to complete the transition. I had the Grimoire at the tip of my tongue, and I wanted to make spells more than I wanted blood."

Angelus looked at his cigar again. "That's impossible."

Bonnie narrowed her eyes and the cigar in his hand became a huge flame, he dropped it instantly to the ground.

"How is this possible? You can only be a vampire or a witch, nature doesn't allow you to be both."

"Like they didn't allow Klaus to be a vampire and a werewolf? There is always a way and a loophole, and I fell right into that."

Angelus was seriously unsettled by this. "But how?"

Bonnie smiled but it wasn't as dark as her tone. "Not how but why."

"Explain yourself, dark witch." Angelus said, setting them apart already.

Bonnie's features were grave. "When I first became a witch, I had visions. I saw numbers, random things that would happen and then one day it stopped."

Her words brought Angelus the soothing feeling that he needed. "They've returned?"

"Like little movies happening before my eyes."

"Have you seen the Luna people?" He dropped his tone a bit.

She nodded. "I once met an oracle who told me that my heart was divided, and she was right. I'm going to need them both, the fire that will push me further and the water that will put an end to it all."

"I see death around you child, death that could end it all. You will have to make a stand but whatever choice you make, it will come with a price."

Angelus connected to what Bonnie was remembering in her mind.

"I've lived all my life listening to that, I'm not going to start my undead phase holding back." She was ready to make her choice.
