Bonnie Bennett relaxed on very few occasions, especially since the great migration of her friends. She skipped down the hallway of her hotel with the grace of a bull, yet it was the most fun she had in awhile. Five falls later, she found herself in her hotel room, stumbling around. Bennett only had two drinks, but she felt like she was getting drunker every minute. Her mind was in a fog, making it hard to register what and how the bed was covered with flowers.

"Kol!" Bonnie exclaimed, looking around excitedly. The silence that followed made it abundantly clear that she was all alone. Flowers seemed to float in the air the longer she looked at them, so she grabbed the white note off the bed. Repeated attempts were needed for her to read the simple note.

I found myself in a flower shop today so I helped myself to a few things.

~Kol

Before she could even think about her actions, the note floated out of her hands. Bonnie grimaced in confusion at the random burst of magic. Being out of control never made her feel calm. A shower was necessary, she thought to herself.

Hot water did not help her state, which included singing in the shower. Singing would be a kind word for the yelling/mumbling mixture that she was doing. Kol had finally gotten to the music of the 80s with her help. "Puppets" by Depeche Mode was on permanent replay in his car just to tease her. Kol always like to think he was in control of their relationship; only alone did she let herself acknowledge how much he was.

"I'll be your operator baby, I'm in control," She sang out badly. In her mind she was reliving the last car ride she had with him.

She moved her mouth to sing again when she was hit by the first muscle spasm. Bonnie grabbed the shower curtain to steady herself, laughing uneasily. The second one came a few seconds later, causing her eyes to flutter uncontrollably. Wave after wave, they occurred.

She felt her body get weaker until her body hit the tub with a loud thud. The curtain that was once her savior became a mortal enemy as it blocked the water from leaving. Water still rained on the helpless body, slowly filling the shower.

Pain was all Bonnie could think of as she twitched in the bathroom tub. Nothing worked to move her body and her magic flared uncontrollably. Fire was how it flared, adding to her discomfort. The pain was getting so bad that she wished for death. One word found its way to her lips as she lay in the cold water.

"Kol."

Kol strolled down the hallway as he sniffed the air, inhaling Bonnie's lingering scent. Flowers never went of style he told himself as he thought of Bonne's reaction to them. Sometimes he felt as if he was giving offering to the gods when he bought her anything, always hoping the offering would please her enough to swing things in her favor.

Everything about her plagued his thoughts, providing fuel to his inner madness. Klaus's visit offered little distraction to his obsessive thoughts. Thoughts of men flirting with her made him enraged so much that there were victims. That little detail never needed to known as long as he did something nice for her, was always his reasoning.

Marie, the cleaning lady, gave him a small smile when he passed. Compelled with the thoughts that he was Bonnie's fiancé, she was eager to help him with any problem. He didn't even need to compel her again when she cleaned up the mess in Bonnie's room. Kol was tempted to steal her to be his servant.

"Bonnie," he chuckled as he knocked on her door. "Can I join you?" It was then did he hear the weak scratchy voice of Bonnie. He ripped open the door and launched into the room. "Bonnie?" he repeated

The seizures racked through her body with her magic flaring right after. Her body bore minor burns from the fire would come and go. The poison was making her mind and even her magic get confused on who the enemy was. Her magic knew it was around her, but was doing more harm than good.

The water sizzled and evaporated in the fire, but it was burning her in the process. Bonnie found herself begging for any release. The weightlessness of her body gave her hope that she was finally done with all the pain.

Kol ripped Bonnie out from the shower, holding the seizing girl. The burns that littered her body needed attention. He immediately wrapped a sheet around her naked body. Placing her on the bed, he only needed to think for a moment before he bit her wrist.

The vervain burned the inside of his mouth instantly. He spat out the acidic blood, yet he could taste something else besides vervain in her system. Bonnie's seizure stopped for a second giving him hope.

"Bonnie, I'm going to get help," he consoled. Bonnie's eyes could only flutter in response. Fire began to burn the sheet away that covered her body. Kol rushed her body back to the shower.

When Bonnie began crying and mumbling his name, Kol's walls came down. The hot tears rolled down his face as he held the woman that he was sure without a doubt he loved.

"Please don't die," he cried as he broke down. Kol cut her wrists open to bleed out the poison and vervain. The water was over flowing, causing the white tiles to become a sickening pink.

He prayed for the first time in hundreds of years as he feed her his blood. "I love you, Bonnie. You are the most beautiful creature I have seen," he confessed as he stroke her head.

"It's your heart that makes you that. You accept that you will die trying to protect others so effortlessly. You don't get bitter; instead you accept it as life."

Bonnie began to shift in his arms as she felt her control return. She still felt too tired to even open her eyes, so she just listened.

"I would never let you die like this. I don't care if I have the world red with blood. You will get the picket fence and children and I will watch from afar."

"You are such a dreamer," Bonnie added weakly.

Kol almost jumped from shock at the sound of her voice. He squeezed her with perhaps a bit too much strength. In that moment he had never been so happy to hear a voice.

Hours later, Bonnie found herself dressed and in Kol's room. She lay in bed, tired from her use of magic. The original's blood coursed through her body healing almost all of the damage. Kol brought food for her to eat, watching her intensely.

"Who poisoned you?" he asked darkly

Bonnie sipped her water while thinking. "It must have happened at the restaurant. I only had something to eat at the restaurant," she announced.

"Are you sure?" he asked again.

"I only ate there, I swear. The only time I had anything else was when I drank at Elena's house. Stefan gave me my vervain," she insisted.

Kol's features began to darken at her admission. "Go to sleep," he commanded "I'm going to make sure your room is cleared."

Bonnie rolled over without a fight. Kol left the room in a rush to get to the hotel room. Once there, he rushed inside to pounce on the individual inside.

"Tell me why you poisoned Bonnie or I will rip out your throat" as he lifted the person up on the wall

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Caroline screamed back.
