Hello amazing readers! Sorry for no update in a while we've decided to update every two weeks from now on just so you all get long quality chapters. And OMG can you believe Nina Dobrev is leaving TVD? We can't! Personally the show will never be the same without her but hopefully the writers can keep it running with the rest of the cast alone. And who watches Originals? This weeks episode was so perfect (anyone else notice the Caroline reference?) and if you don't watch the Originals I highly suggest it. Anyway to save time just want to say thank you to everyone who reviewed and to respond to a few points briefly, Kol/Bonnie are obviously known as both Konnie and Kenett, but for the sake of this story they will be Konnie. Sorry for lack of Katherine recently, we will try to write more of her and Stefan will be returning soon. Also, Damon and Elena are together at the moment, but Damon and Katherine are also very close friends, so sorry if that confuses anyone. Anyway, thanks once again for all the support and enjoy!
Matt
"I hate you so much, I mean not really, I don't 100% hate you because I mean sometimes you're kind of cute and funny, and even a little bit romantic, but yeah I have to keep on saying I hate you to remind myself that I have to hate you in order to make proper decisions and prevent myself from ending up with an evil homicidal, maniac, the way Elena did for example. I'm going to stop talking now." Bonnie quickly rambles to a very happy looking Kol.
"It's great that you're finally admitting your obvious feelings for me." Kol comments tucking a piece of stray hair behind her ear causing her to push him away.
"Can you please stop staring at me like a creep, it's making me feel uncomfortable!" Caroline yells speaking up for the first time in a while, her attention directed towards Klaus.
"Oh, well in that case." Klaus says rolling his eyes before turning to Katherine who sits in the corner trying to avoid any unnecessary attention.
"Katerina! Care to share your thoughts?" He asks her with a devilish smirk.
"No thank you." She says with a smile that falters moments after that.
"Are you sure? I would love to hear how you feel about this situation." Klaus decides getting up and sitting closer to her.
"I think you're making Caroline jealous." Katherine comments moving as far away from Klaus as she can without getting up. She then reluctantly adds, "I mean I can't really tell if she is actually jealous, but I'm trying to use sarcasm to possibly annoy you, while getting you to leave me alone because this is a pretty bad situation- and you know, um, my name is Katherine Pierce."
Klaus rolls his eyes and seemingly gives up, leaning back in defeat.
"You're awfully quiet over there Matt, how are you handling this situation?" Klaus asks perking up as he notices me.
"Um.. I'm kind of scared right now. You're all really scary and intimidating and I honestly feel like Damon is debating whether or not it's worth it to eat me right now." I quickly blurt out before I can stop myself.
Klaus laughs before turning to Damon expectantly.
"The sky is blue, The grass is green, and I am a vampire." Damon answers for what must be the hundreth time today.
One hour ago
Bonnie
"Oh My God Kol! Look what you did!" I yell in shock. Kol simply smiles in response.
I look down at the spell book in my hands and try to figure out what just happened. Considering there is no obvious change I hope that the flickering of the lights and strong breeze was not the result of a spell being cast.
"I did nothing at all to cause the casting of that spell." Kol finally says.
"Yes you did! You are always the cause of all my problems! I mean not really, because sometimes other people are to blame, or maybe even I'm to blame, but it's much easier to just blame you." I blurt out. Seeing the amused look on his face I backtrack what I just said and quickly ramble, "What's going on?"
"You tell me." Kol says furrowing his eyebrows in confusion but still failing to wipe the smile from his face.
"I don't know that's why I'm asking you!" I respond looking through the pages of the book to figure out what spell I casted.
"Relax, Love." He says placing a hand on my shoulder.
I shove him away and say, "Don't touch me."
"Why does it bother you?" Kol asks with a smirk placing his hand back on my shoulder.
"You're such an idiot!" I say shoving him with more force this time. Before I know what I'm doing I add, "Well, you're not really an idiot I mean you're actually really smart and probably know more than me most of the time, but that doesn't matter because I would sound like an idiot myself if I told you that, and Oh my god what's going on!"
I grab my head in my hands and Kol laughs. Just then the door opens and Klaus walks in seemingly aggravated.
"What's going on? What did Kol do?" He questions looking between the two of us.
"I don't know. I think I may have casted a spell by accident." I explain to the hybrid.
"Again!" He yells before adding, "Please tell me, what was the cause this time?"
"Kol was distracting me, and I meant to do a spell that would allow us to contact somebody back in Mystic Falls so that we can get out of here, but he started talking and I tried to ignore him but it's kind of hard to ignore Kol Mikealson, because he can be really annoying sometimes, and that's really hard to ignore, so like I said I got distracted and then he took the book while I was trying to cast the spell and I managed to get it back, and when I tried finishing the spell it didn't work, but obviously something was casted and wow, I'm going to shut up now." I say matching the speed of Caroline Forbes when she gets caught up in one of her rambles.
Klaus then snatches the spell book out of my hand and begins flipping through the pages furiously as if it had personally offended him. "And I thought Kol was the crazy brother". It's not until both brothers turn to me, Klaus seeming angry Kol amused, that I realize I said this out loud.
"I was being sarcastic actually, Kol's not crazy he's actually very sane and more put together then the rest of us at times. Quite frankly you're not that crazy either Klaus, you're just angry like all the time and you don't know how to handle it so you do crazy things, or at least that's my guess" I have no clue why I say this considering it does nothing to help but for some reason I couldn't hold back the words.
Klaus glares at me suspiciously before asking, "Is this the page the spell came from?"
I nod in response and he pauses, scanning the page, before looking up at me and saying, "Bonnie, how does Kol look today?"
"What?" I say thrown off by the strange question.
"Just answer the question" he snaps.
"He looks like the same stupid jerk he was yesterday" I say simply. I want to leave it at that but once again I cant seem to stop the words from pouring out of my mouth. "Well, like I said before Kol's not really stupid, and he can be a jerk, but only occasionally. Some times he's really sweet, but I chose to ignore that because I'm not going down that road with him. But aside from that, he does look the same as yesterday, except a bit cuter because he's wearing that shirt that makes the color in his eyes pop today, and he's less depressed since nobody's making fun of him for his terrible football skills so he's happier, and he's smiling a lot more and his smile is really adorable and he looks a lot more gorgeous when he smiles and… oh god what am I even saying"
"Hey Nik, do you have a calendar handy?" Kol asks with that stupid gorgeous smile.
"Why do you ask brother?" Klaus responds seeming equally amused.
"I think it just might be my lucky day." to this the brothers laugh and I begin to freak out wondering if I casted some sort of stupidity spell that was making me say all of these things.
Klaus seems to notice my discomfort and spares one last laugh before saying, "I'm no expert, but if I had to guess I'd say this is the spell you casted"
Klaus hands me the book and points out a spell which I quickly read through in complete horror. "Don't leave us in suspense luv" Kol says with a smirk.
I glare at him before sighing and saying, "It's a spell which basically makes you tell the truth and say whatever is on your mind for the next 12 hours"
Kol looks like a child on Christmas morning as he looks up at the ceiling and mummers, "You are real" as if talking to some superior force. I roll my eyes but don't say anything considering the new circumstances.
It's at this moment that Damon and Caroline enter the room. Caroline's gaze immediately falls on Klaus, but she spares him little more then an eye roll before turning away as if he doesn't exist. Klaus smirks in response and I fear for whatever plot his twisted mind has come up with.
"What's going on?" Damon asks leaning against the door frame.
Before I can answer his question Klaus jumps in saying, "Caroline, you seem angry luv"
Caroline scoffs responding harshly. "I'm not angry! Well actually I am, I'm angry at you, and myself, and the world! And I may not be as angry as I was before because I talked to Damon who is surprisingly a good listener, but I'm still angry at you, and seeing you standing there with that stupid adorable smile like everything's all right just makes me angrier because it's like you have no idea what you do to me and, ugh! What am I even saying?"
Klaus and Kol respond with a chuckle as Kol mutters, "Today is certainly a glorious day"
I roll my eyes and Damon and Caroline both shoot me questioning looks considering I'm the only sane one here. I sigh before explaining, "Kol made me-"
"You know Bonnie you shouldn't blame me for everything, it's unhealthy" he cuts me off.
"I swear I'm going to kill you one of these days. Probably not though, I don't think I could ever kill you because I might actually miss you and, No! You know what, I'm done talking" I decide.
Kol smirks, "Oh come on darling, please finish your thoughts, things were just getting interesting"
"As adorable as this little couple spat is, can you please tell us what's going on here. I need to get back to my room to continue avoiding all of you so I don't drive myself crazy or do something stupid" Damon pauses confused as if wondering why he said this. Welcome to my world.
"Hey Caroline, how does Niklaus look today?" Kol questions with a smirk.
Caroline looks annoyed and slightly confused, "What do you mean?"
I decide to jump in now and spare my friend the same humiliation I just went through, "You don't have to answer that Care. Look, Kol was distracting me so I accidentally casted a truth spell. For the next 24 hours we can all only say the truth and whenever we speak we have to say whatever's on our mind"
"A truth spell?" Damon says looking completely horrified. His reaction is almost funny. almost.
"Yep, you should be good at this Damon. We all know how much you value the truth" Klaus adds. Damon looks about ready to say something, but thinks better of it. I have a feeling he's going to be very quiet today.
"Oh my God Bonnie, you have to fix this! I cant be under a truth spell, I have a lot of secrets that I dont want people to know and I talk a lot! If im under a truth spell im going to keep talking and before the end of the day everyone will know all my secrets like how-. Nope, no! Bonnie fix this now!" she demands."
"I don't know how Care. Trust me, if anyone wants to fix this situation its me." I say with a sigh sitting on the bed, and grabbing the spell book. I begin to reread everything there is to know about the spell and the words The spell will last 24 hours keep jumping out at me.
"You know Bonnie, I've met a lot of bad witches, but never have I met one who has managed to accidentally cast two spells in one day." Damon interjects from where he leans against the dresser in the corner of the room.
I'm about to respond, but Kol quickly says, "Leave Bonnie alone or I will not hesitate to rip your tongue out."
Damon rolls his eyes but stays silent. I look over to Kol and he shoots me a smile which only results in me becoming even more focused on the book. I need to reverse this spell before I say something I can't take back.
Caroline
I groan as I throw myself onto the couch where Elena and Matt sit silently watching some movie they must have found. It's a silent black and white movie and I wonder how they can even follow along.
"What's wrong Care?" Elena questions, looking concerned.
"Why don't you ask Klaus. You two seem to be getting along so well." I say before I can stop myself.
Elena sighs before responding, "Caroline, Klaus and I are barely friends. I mean for now at least." She pauses obviously confused by what she's just said.
I laugh without humor, and turn to Matt who seems very confused.
"Matt, where's Katherine?" I question figuring he would probably know this since she seems to have adopted him as her personal slave.
"She just went outside to, as she put it, 'get away from all these Psychopaths'" Matt explains before adding, "Why do you ask?"
"Oh, just figured I should warn her. I mean considering that by the end of today Klaus will most likely kill her." I say simply.
This seems to catch Elena's attention considering she quickly asks, "What's going on here Caroline?"
"If you must know, Bonnie accidentally cast some truth spell. So for the next 24 hours Elena Gilbert can't tell a lie. This should be interesting." I once again say out of impulse.
"A truth spell? So what we all just have to tell the truth?" Elena inquires a look of pure shock on her face.
"And they call me the blonde." I mutter. I notice what I've said but figure I should just get used to saying things that are probably going to cause problems.
"No, I think they call you Blondie. There's a difference." I hear Damon say as he comes down the stairs and walks over to us. His eye quickly flash to Elena and he looks as though he is going to say something but then changes his mind.
I roll my eyes at his comment but can't help but smile as he finally sits down beside me.
"So, I have a plan to survive today and I figured, being as nice as I am, I would share it with you. Well, I'm not actually doing this out of niceness, more because I need somebody's opinion on whether on not it's really a good plan. Anyway, Step One, stay away from Klaus, Katherine, Elena, Rebekah, and Elijah. These are people that we will end up in trouble with if we say the wrong thing." Damon explains to me as I listen intently. He then realizes what he just said and turns to Elena saying, "Not because you can be extremely judgey and sensitive. Well actually that's the exact reason. You know I'm going to shut up."
I giggle at this, but stop when I see Elena glaring at me. "I'll be upstairs. Maybe Klaus wants to paint some more." She decides getting up and heading towards the stairs before stopping abruptly, sighing, and saying, "He probably doesn't but I was just trying to make both of you jealous..Argh!"
Once she's out of sight Damon and I both burst into laughter.
"That proves that this situation could be worst. We could be Elena who is probably going to have ruined her innocent girl image by the end of today. I mean I love her, but even I know things about Elena she wouldn't want others knowing" Damon says with a chuckle.
"True. So what's the rest of this plan?" I question, kicking my legs up onto the coffee table, noting that this would probably cause Klaus to be very annoyed. Ugh, Germaphobe, I think with a mental eye roll.
"Well, you see, if step one fails and we do come in contact with one of those people, that's where Step two comes in. Knowing what to say and what not to say. For instance don't insult or compliment someone. Chances are you won't mean it, hence forth getting in trouble when you correct yourself. Like if I were to say Caroline you look really pretty today and then tell the truth and say you look hideous, your probably going to get mad."
I hit him lightly as he laughs, but relax as he says, "Joking." and doesn't add in a 'not really'.
"Another Obvious thing that could help, Just don't talk. Like at all. Stay silent." He states.
"I can't do that. The longest I've ever stayed quiet for is like 3 minutes and that was that one time that Klaus told me that he would break up with me if I didn't shut up. I mean he was joking but I didn't realize that at first and I obviously loved him too much to lose him over talking, so I went quiet but then I really wanted to tell him something so I finally cracked and.. See!" I yell throwing my hands in the air for emphasis.
"He really told you that?" Damon asks with another laugh.
"In my defense, I was trying to finish that extremely important essay that was due the next day."
Damon and I both turn around to see Klaus leaning against the staircase railing, a smirk on his face. I can't help but wonder how long he was listening.
"You know Eaves Dropping isn't polite, Klaus." I comment as he walks over to us. He quickly notices my feet on the table and rolls his eyes before sitting in the arm chair across from where Damon and I sit.
"Oh really? Because only a few hours ago, you didn't seem to have a problem going all 'James Bond' on Elena and I." He responds his eyes twinkling with mischief.
I am shocked to hear him say this and I turn to Damon with a 'You told him' look. He rolls his eyes before shaking his head no. I turn back to Klaus who raises an eyebrow at me expectantly.
"Shut up!" I finally yell when I can't come up with anything better to say.
"I have to say, Its flattering that you're so jealous over Elena and I." He says obviously ignoring my comment.
"I am not jealous! Okay well maybe I am a little bit. Or a lot. Like a lot a lot. To the point where I've already plotted out Elena's death in a few different scenerios. And yours. But mostly Elena's because I can't kill you because of obvious reasons. Well, I guess that even if you weren't unkillable I would still not kill you because I think a piece of me is still deeply in love with you, and I've been staying up all night just trying to figure out whether I'm still in love with you or not which is really infuriating because I just want to forget about you and everything that we had together already, because I mean you're such a jerk sometimes! But at the same time you can be so sweet, and considerate. And Oh my god, when you get all protective over me it's really adorable but you know I usually don't tell you that because it's wrong that I think that's cute because threatening people is not supposed to be cute at all. It should be a total turn off, but ugh. You just make everything wrong seem right sometimes. It's really not fair! Even worst, you literally managed to look hot covered in paint earlier. You should have looked horrible and all messy, but it just looked hot and I really wanted to kiss you but I couldn't and-"
It's at this point that Damon grabs me and covers my mouth with his hand. I would normally complain to him for doing this but at the moment I am more grateful than ever. I look over to Klaus expecting him to be wearing a stupid smile, but instead he looks almost as if he's actually processing all of this, his face lacking any real expression.
"Um... I'm going to go do that thing that doesn't actually exsist." Matt says breaking the piercing silence. As he gets up and exits the room, I finally acknowledge the fact that Damon's arms are still wrapped around me, his hands stopping me from saying anything stupid. Damon must realize this too, as to the fact that he lets me go and stands up.
"Yeah Care, Im going to go follow Matt's cue and exit this awkward situation. Good luck, you're probably going to need it." He comments before leaving me alone with the Hybid that I have come to equally hate and love.
This should be fun.
Katherine
I pace the bathroom floor nervously debating whether or not I should just stay here for the rest of the day. I heard the arguing upstairs and had already become fully aware of the situation at hand. I left the house in hopes of making an escape of some sort, but eventually decided against it. Because although the situation was very dangerous for me, it was also extremely entertaining to watch everyone else reveal all their secrets and true feelings.
"Caroline, if that's how you really feel, then perhaps you should rethink your decision." I hear Klaus say, his voice filled with sincerity.
"I want to Klaus, but I can't! I mean I can, but as much as I want to be with you we just don't work. Not when you go around threatening people's lives and acting like a homicidal maniac. " Caroline explains after a minute.
"Caroline, Love, Please." He responds.
"I love you Klaus, I really do, but-"
"No buts Caroline. You love me, I love you more than anything in this world. Why can't that be enough for you?" Klaus says his voice raising slightly. I can imagine him trying to contain his anger at the moment and I almost let a laugh escape me.
"It's just not enough. I wish it was, but it's not." Caroline finally states, her voice sounding like she's on the verge of tears.
"I won't give up on you Caroline."
"Maybe you should. I think that it's time that you do give up on me. If you really love me then you need to let me go so that I can move on."
"Is that really what you want?" Klaus asks before adding, "because if you can look me in the eye right now and tell me that you want me out of your life, well then you will never have to deal with me ever again, you have my word."
I roll my eyes at this doubting that Klaus would ever leave Caroline alone.
"Klaus.." Caroline tries but Klaus quickly interjects.
"Its a simple yes or no question." He explains.
"No! Alright! I don't want you out of my life but I should Klaus. I want for me to be able to get over you. You are the worst thing that has ever happened to me Klaus because no matter how hard I try, I can't stop loving you!" She yells.
I hear the sound of Klaus standing up abruptly and closing the few steps between him and Caroline and after a quick gasp from the blonde, there's silence.
I don't need to be a rocket scientist or even a vampire for that matter to know that he's kissed her.
Unable to stay in this tiny space anymore I burst out of the bathroom to see that I was right and I find Klaus and Caroline leaning against the wall kissing each other passionately. They seem to be so intent on each other that neither even notices my presence. I quietly attempt to escape up stairs but within a minute Klaus is in front of me with a smirk on his face.
"Going somewhere Katerina?" He questions.
I turn to Caroline who stands where Klaus left her a light blush on her cheeks. I hope that she has left Klaus in a good enough mood to let me go, but remain pretty doubtful.
"Yeah, I was actually headed up stairs." I finally respond trying not to show any signs of fear.
"Why don't you stay right down here instead." He decides, pushing me into the couch. I try to refrain from saying anything that will get me in trouble as I regain my balance and brush off my clothes.
"Because, I would hate to interrupt you and Caroline. I mean it certainly seems like you guys want you're privacy." I say unable to stop from smiling.
Klaus has his hand around my throat within a second but then he looks over to where Caroline stands and sighs. He throws me to the floor before stating, "In 5 seconds you better be out of my sight."
At this I roll my eyes, but then I see his deathly glare and vampire speed up the stairs.
Kol
"Come on Bonnie, just tell me how great I look in this shirt again!" I tease, placing my hand on Bonnie's shoulder. She shoves me off and focuses soley on the book in front of her. We sit on the bed of our assigned room and while Bonnie attempts to find a reversal spell, I have made it my mission to make the most of this situation.
"Come on." I say again, re-positioning myself so that I sit uncomfortably close to her.
Bonnie closes her eyes and sighs, closing the book and throwing it to the side. She turns to me expectingly.
"You have really pretty eyes." I say unable to stop myself, most likely because of the spell. She looks surprised by this and I can't help but smile.
"Thanks." She says after a moment.
"Now it's your turn." I say to which she raises her eyebrow.
"For what?" She questions.
"To compliment me." I respond as if this is obvious. She shoves me and I laugh gently.
"I need to do this spell." She decides reaching over to grab the book again. I quickly grab it before she can and hold it tightly in my grasp.
"Kol give me it!" she yells seemingly annoyed.
"If you want it, you're going to have to take it." I decide.
She rolls her eyes and waits for me to hand it over. When I don't she sighs.
"Are you serious right now." She asks.
"Very." I say nodding for emphasis.
Without another word she makes a move for the book and almost grabs it, but with my vampire reflexes I easily move it just in time, holding it just far enough out of her reach.
She reaches for it as I hold her back with my spare hand.
"Kol!" She complains trying to hide her smile.
"Can Bonnie Bennet really not get a book from me?" I say pretending to be shocked. She looks from me to the book and grabs for it once again, this time with so much force that I almost drop it, but rather I outstretch my arm so that the book dangles off the bed and out of her reach. Our eyes lock as Bonnie seems to realize that she has managed to position herself in a way that leaves her completely on top of me.
"Bonnie?" I question my voice low.
"What?" She responds her eyes staying focused on mine.
"If I were to kiss you right now would you be mad?"
She seems to think hard on this before she leans in slowly. Right before I close the gap between us, she reaches out and grabs the book a satisfied smile on her face.
"Ha!" She yells holding it as if it's a trophy. I can't help but smile at how happy she is that she managed to get the book back, but at the same time desperately want to kiss her.
Before I can congratualte her, the door opens and Elena walks in.
Her eyes go wide and she quickly says, "I'm so sorry Bonnie, I didn't mean to interrupt anything."
I realize how this situation must look to Elena and can't help but laugh.
"This isn't what it looks like Elena! I was just trying to get the book from him. That's all."
"Oh is that what we're going with?" I say to Bonnie not bothering to hide my smile.
She looks down at me and then to Elena, and assures, "Yes, because that's what happened!"
Elena stands awkwardly by the door as if trying to decide if she believes this. Bonnie finally pushes herself off of me and stands up brushing off her clothes.
"What did you come for anyway?" She questions as I follow her suit and get up.
"I just wanted to see if you were making any progress with the reversal spell." Elena explains still looking between Bonnie and I.
"Oh, I'm..uh working on it." Bonnie states raising up the book for emphasis.
"Yep. You don't worry Elena! Konnie will have this problem solved in no time!" I assure.
"Konnie?" Elena questions.
"Kol and Bonnie." Bonnie explains unable to stop herself.
I smile at this and Bonnie rolls her eyes.
"I'll let you know when it's done Elena. For now just play it low key and try not to talk because you'll probably say something that you'll regret." Bonnie says before realizing what she's said.
Elena looks offended by this and I hold back my laughter.
"What my dear Bonnie here is trying to say is that You, Elena, tend to tell many lies and now that you can no longer lie all of your deepest, darkest, satanical secrets and desires will be revealed, and everyone will see you for what you really are." I explain turning to Bonnie for approval.
"Exactly! Wait..no! No! That is not what I meant at all-...You know what i'm going to work on finding that spell." Bonnie says to which I laugh. At this Elena nods and storms out of the room closing the door behind her.
"Alone again." I comment.
Bonnie turns to me and rolls her eyes before turning to her reading.
I officially decide that today is a good day.
Damon
"I'm ignoring you. Or at least trying and failing!" I yell as I throw a pillow at Katherine who has decided it would be fun to annoy me.
"What's wrong Damon! Afraid you're going to reveal something? "She questions a smile on her face.
"Shut up Katherine." I say focusing on my phone which is still yet to get any service.
"Tell me what is it that's going on between you and the blonde?" Katherine asks.
"There's nothing going on between Caroline and I. We're just friends." I decide.
"Sure." she responds with an eye roll.
"I'm serious! I mean that one time that we kissed didn't even count." I say simply. I then realize what I've just admitted to.
"Oh My God you guys kissed! When? Where? Why didn't you tell me?" Katherine yells excitedly. I vampire speed over and cover her mouth with my hand.
"Shut up before Satan hears you." I whisper. Katherine bites my hand causing me to quickly yank it away. She smiles satisfied, before taking a seat on the bed.
"Klaus is busy with Caroline it doesn't matter."
"I meant Elena." I say with an eye roll knowing I shouldn't have attempted a joke at this time, before adding, "Don't tell her that I said that! In fact just forget every thing that's been said in the past 5 minutes!"
"First just tell me who kissed who?" Katherine questions
"Why does it matter?" I say sitting next to her and picking my phone back up.
"Just tell me!" She urges shaking my shoulder.
"I kissed her." I admit.
"And when did this happen?" She asks.
"The night before the football game. She was staying at the house remember. We ended up talking, well it was more like fighting, but then she said something and I couldn't help but kiss her. It was a stupid decision to make." I explain hoping this will end the discussion.
"Did she kiss you back?" Katherine inquires.
"Yes, but only a few seconds before she shoved me away and had a mini breakdown." I say before getting up and walking over to the door.
"Where are you going?" she asks getting up and slamming the door closed just as I go to open it.
"I'm leaving before you can ask me for a full on detailed explaination of the kiss." I say making a move to leave again, which only results in Katherine grabbing my arm and pulling me back.
"Can I get that or maybe a demonstration?" She questions with a smile.
I roll my eyes and say, "Katherine let me go."
"Answer one more question and then you are free to go." She decides.
I sigh but say, "What?"
"Do you have any sort of feelings for Caroline?"
This question catches me off guard and I force myself to go against the magic and actually think about my answer before speaking.
"I care about her. But I want to be her friend and nothing more." I finally state.
"Intresting. Talk to you later Damon." Katherine states plainly before pushing past me and leaving the room herself.
I sigh and wonder what's taking Bonnie so long.
Caroline
"Is everyone here?" Bonnie asks scanning the room, "where's Kol?"
"Wow the first time you willingly seek out his company and you can't find him. Am I the only one who appreciates the irony in that?" Katherine chuckles.
Bonnie rolls her eyes but ignores the comment, "What about Alaric and Rebekah?"
"Binge watching Supernatural upstairs" Damon answers.
We all look at him confused, "Together?"
He shrugs in response, "don't question me i'm just as confused and horrified as the rest of you"
"This might not work now" Bonnie mutters with a sigh.
"What might not work? What's going on Bon?" Elena asks.
Bonnie sighs, "I can't tell you all or you'll get mad" she admits.
"You could just tell us before I kill you" Klaus suggests calmly.
"Good luck with that" Bonnie replies with a smirk that makes me think she's been spending too much time with Kol.
Klaus considers this a challenge and in a flash he zooms across the room towards Bonnie. It's safe to say were all confused when the moment Klaus hits the end of the living room he gets flung back. He stands back up and charges again but it's as if there's an invisible barrier holding him back.
"Bonnie, what's going on?" I question.
Damon then shoots out of his seat and walks over to the edge of the living room, trying to pass his hand through without luck. "This is a nightmare"
"Seriously Bonnie, what's going on?" Elena pushes
Bonnie averts her gaze from chuckling at Klaus' failed attempts and turns to the rest of us. "Look, I found a spell but it calls for a lot of power, like a lot a lot. Ive already wasted some of it doing the first two spells, so I need to draw power from something. I figured a room full of vampires and originals would be enough."
"So you trapped us all in here?" I ask horrified.
"It's the only way I could draw power from you" she apologizes, "The spell shouldn't take too long, or at least it's not supposed to. I was expecting three more Originals to draw from"
"Let us go now or so help me I will-"
"I'd reconsider that threat" Bonnie cuts off Klaus' rant, "until you leave this room I'm channeling all your powers, which means you have the capabilities of Matt against me"
Klaus glares at her but before he can say anything else Kol enters the room throwing his arm around Bonnie. "Hey Bonnie, you know you look really adorable when your mad at me"
Bonnie groans in annoyance, "Where were you?"
"Planning our wedding" his says with a smirk, "not really, I just found out your plan to use us all as power sources and lock us in the living room, and I didn't want to waste my time of you telling the truth separated"
"Great" she mutters with an eye roll, "as long as your here you might as well come upstairs and help me with the spell"
"Oh, you here that everyone, Bonnie just invited me upstairs" Kol say with a chuckle, but follows Bonnie in that direction.
"Wait Bon! You can't just leave us here!" I protest
"Sorry Care, I have to reverse this spell, trust me I'll do it as quick as possible" and within moments she's gone.
"Any reason your so eager to leave luv?" Klaus asks me with a smile.
I roll my eyes but don't answer. What Damon said about not talking being the best solution had registered in my mind as the only solution when it came to Klaus Mikaelson.
"I have an idea" Klaus decides, "let's play a game"
"Let's not" Katherine argues earning a glare
"Oh come on, not in a very playful mood now that your prone to honesty?" Klaus questions, "I regret to inform you that you have little say in the matter"
"Get over yourself" I decide win an eye roll I couldn't hold back
"I'll take that as you volunteering to go first" Klaus returns with a smirk, "Any game suggestions?'
"Pin the tail on Elena?" Katherine suggests shooting said girl a look to which she rolls her eyes.
Damon seems to be on the verge of laughing, but quickly turns it into a cough as a bad cover up. All eyes turn to him, including Elena who is glaring harshly and if looks could kill Damon Salvatore would be as good as gone.
"Any ideas Damon?" Klaus asks
"How about musical chairs?" He mutters sarcastically
"Or we could use Klaus as a piñata, I'm sure that would make a fun game" I suggest
"While that is a wonderful suggestion, how about we play something a bit more appropriate for the situation. For instance, Truth or dare." Klaus decides his eyes twinkling with mischievous.
Everybody seems to greatly dislike this option but nobody dares to stand up to Klaus. I sigh before saying, "How about Would you rather?" Deciding that this game is much safer, but still will spark Klaus' interest.
"Perfect." Klaus comments, before adding, "Caroline! Would you rather spend the rest of your eternal vampire life handcuffed to Elena, or marry me?"
Katherine chuckles at this, while a smile creeps on to Damons face.
I look over to Elena and then back at Klaus. I already know my answer and it takes a lot of effort to not just blurt it out.
"Elena Gilbert?" I question as if I don't already know.
"Yes that would be the one I'm referring to." Klaus clarifies.
"And my life is eternal. Like Original's eternal, or regular vampire eternal. And what type of handcuffs are they because-"
"Answer the question love."
I sigh loudly before muttering, "Marry You.", so low that if it weren't for vampire hearing no one would hear me.
"What was that? Couldn't quite hear you." Klaus says with a devious smirk, leaning in closer as if to hear better.
"Marry you!" I yell aggravated.
"Wow, I'm flattered." Klaus says teasingly while Elena merely rolls her eyes.
"My turn!" I decide turning to Damon.
"Damon would you rather spend the rest of your life being with Katherine or Elena." I question unable to think of anything else.
Elena seems much more intrigued with this question and looks at Damon expectantly. Meanwhile Katherine rolls her eyes as if the answer to this is obvious.
"Define be with." Damon states plainly keeping his eyes locked on me.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Caroline means which would you rather date." Klaus explains. It annoys me that he answers for me but I don't say so.
"Define date." Damon fires back.
"A socially romantic engagement." Elijah offers from where he sits on the couch looking bored with all of this.
"Define-" Before Damon can finish his statement Katherine vamps over and snaps his neck watching him fall to the floor lifeless.
"Why'd you do that!" I yell.
"Because he was being annoying. And also to save him from his inevitable answer." She decides with a shrug before taking a seat on the couch next to Elijah.
"In that case, Elijah would you rather never wear a suit again or never be with Katherine again. And to clear it up by be with I mean date, and by date I mean-"
"I understand perfectly Caroline." Elijah interrupts. I nod satisfied and wait for his response as do all of us, Katherine looking fairly interested in his response.
Elijah sighs and states, "Well if the answer isn't obvious I would never wear a suit again. Suits are just objects, while Katerina is a person that whether I like it or not has managed to capture my affection more than once."
"Oh." I say disappointed that he didn't crush Katherine's heart the way I hoped.
"Thanks, but I think I would rather die than be with you again." Katherine decides before adding, "Okay maybe not die, because I cherish my life, but you get what I'm saying."
Elijah seems hurt by this for only a moment, before he turns to Matt.
"Matt, would you rather be turned into a vampire, or kill every single vampire in Mystic Falls including all your friends." He asks.
"Kill all the vampires." Matt answers vaguely.
"Matt!" I shriek shocked by this answer.
"Sorry Care." Matt mutters, before looking around for someone to ask.
"Elena, Would you rather leave Mystic Falls forever or be human?"
"I guess be human. I don't hate being a vampire, but I wouldn't miss it much either." Elena answers without giving it much thought.
"Caroline! Would you rather kill Klaus or watch him be with somebody else." Elena inquires turning to me expectantly.
I look over at Klaus who raises an eyebrow.
"Klaus can't be killed." I state, hoping this will give me some time.
"Well, you have a white oak stake." Elena fires back.
"Where would I get a white oak stake from?" I question even though I happen to know the location of the last one left.
"Mikael gave it you." Elena decides.
"Why would Mikael give me a white oak stake?"
"Because he figured it will hurt Klaus a lot more to have you kill him."
"Klaus is too strong for me to kill him, he would probably kill me first."
"Do you really believe that?" Elena asks.
"No." I state.
"Perfect, then answer the question." Elena decides.
"Who's the someone else that he's with?" I inquire ignoring her request.
"Anyone, Katherine, Bonnie, maybe even me." Elena states, obviously trying to push for a certain answer. This causes me to pause for a minute before I regain my composure.
"I would kill you."
Bonnie
"Relax." Kol urges as I try my best to cast the spell.
"I'm trying to!" I yell annoyed. As I do this all the lit candles in the room go out. I sigh, and Kol walks over grabbing my hands.
"I Know that you can do this. You are one of the most powerful witches I know Bonnie." He assures me, as I stare into his gorgeous brown eyes.
I simply nod and trying focus on my breathing as I begin to repeat the words of the spell. I feel the power surging through my veins as I pull it from my friends. I repeat the words and keep on doing so as I focus all the power on the spell.
"Bonnie stop!" Kol yells. I ignore him and continue the spell, chanting the words louder to block him out.
"Bonnie!" He demands shaking me roughly, only for me to continue ignoring his pleas.
"I said stop!" He shouts, and before I know it he has me pinned against the wall.
"What's wrong with you Kol! I almost did it!" I yell trying to escape him grasp, which only causes him to tighten it.
"You're killing yourself!" He explains. I look at him like he's crazy but as I calm down I realize what he's saying is true.
It's only now that I feel the blood that drips from my nose, and how overwhelming the power is. I wipe the blood away with the back of my hand and shove Kol away walking putting my head in my hands.
"Why can't I do it. I'm channeling a room filled with vampires!" I ask turning back to Kol who's face is filled with concern.
"These spells are old Bonnie. They require a lot of power. And considering how well I know you, you're not channeling enough power from your friends because you don't want to hurt them. None the less, I will not allow you to destroy yourself just so everyone can lie at their own convenience." Kol explains gently placing a hand on my shoulder.
"I need to do this Kol. Its my fault that everyone's in this situation and I can't go on much longer telling only the truth because as I've said a million times today I'm going to end up saying something I'll regret." I say pulling away from him and starting to light all the candles again.
"Like what?" He challenges turning me around so that I once agin face him.
"Like the way I feel about you!" I yell.
His eyes soften and he sighs, "Bonnie, you're not doing the spell end of story. If I need to tie you up to stop you from doing it I will."
I hate that he commands me like this, as if he actually has control over me (which he does), but rather then say so I begin to chant the words again, pulling as much power from my friends as possible.
"Bonnie I'm not joking, stop it now."
I continue to do the spell, chanting the words much to Kol's dismay, and suddenly everything goes black.
Elena
"What?" I question as I stare at Caroline in disbelief.
"I'll kill you." She repeats, crossing her arms over her chest glaring at me.
At this Katherine burst out laughing as if the situation is hilarious.
Before I can say anything, Caroline sighs and states, "I would watch him be with someone else. I mean I could never kill him, and chances are that after a week or two he'll come crawling back to me. Worse case scenario, like I said, I'll get rid of the competition"
Klaus laughs lightly at this while I roll my eyes.
I'm about to tell Caroline something I will likely regret later, but don't get the chance when she shrieks out in pain.
"Caroline!" Klaus yells placing a hand on her shoulder concerned. She holds her head in her hands as Klaus tries to ask her what's wrong.
Suddenly, I begin to feel the same effects of the spell. I let out a yelp of pain and fall back against the couch helpless.
"The spell. Bonnie must be channeling too much power." Elijah explains getting up from the couch and coming to my side.
"Bonnie stop the spell!" Katherine yells running as far as the barrier will let her. She winces and I figure this means she's starting to feel the power being drained from her.
I suddenly look over to Damon in concern, hoping that the fact Katherine snapped his neck will keep the spell from reaching him.
Suddenly the pain stops and everybody goes quiet. Caroline sighs in relief, while Klaus holds her tight in his arms.
Katherine gently sticks her hand out and the barrier doesn't stop her. With that she walks out and turns to all of us.
"This was fun, but I have much better things to be doing." she decides before running upstairs.
"Are you okay?" Elijah asks me looking concerned. I nod and smile gratefully.
"I'm going to go see whats going on." I decide. I get up and go upstairs to find Bonnie. I feel a bit light headed, but much better than before. I walk into the room that has been designated as Bonnie and Kol's and I'm left shocked when I see Bonnie on the floor motionless. Kol sits beside her a look of fear and concern on his face.
"What happened!" I shriek running to Bonnie's side.
"She...She channeled too much power. I tried to stop her Elena. You have to believe me!" Kol explains his voice filled with panic.
"Bonnie!" I hear Caroline yell. She's soon at my side and shaking our friend relentlessly in an attempt to get her to open her eyes.
"Elijah!" Kol shouts when the eldest Mikealson walks into the room.
"Kol what happened?" Elijah asks concerned walking over hastily and examining Bonnie.
"The spell was too strong. She channeled too much power. She was casting the spell and then she just passed out. She's going to be okay right Elijah?"
Elijah looks at Kol and sighs before turning back to Bonnie.
"I don't know Kol. She still has a pulse to say the least." Elijah states.
"She has to be okay! I mean if she has a pulse she's still alive, right?" Caroline yells tears streaming down her face. Unsure of what else to do I pull Caroline into a hug trying to comfort my friend as well as my self, putting my pointless anger aside for the moment.
"I can't lose her Elijah." Kol says turning to his brother who nods simply but says nothing of reassurance.
It's at this moment that Bonnie's eyes fly open and she gasps for breath. Before anyone can say anything, Kol pulls her into a tight hug, holding her close to him sighing in relief.
"Don't you ever do something so idiotic again." He mummers as he looks at her with concern.
Bonnie nods and looks like she's going to say something but then rethinks it. Kol finally lets her go and helps her up. Caroline and I follow suit standing and pulling Bonnie into hugs.
"Did the spell work?" She questions. We all look at each other unsure.
"We don't really know." I finally say.
"Well somebody should test it." Bonnie explains. Once again we all exchnage looks not wanting to be the one to have to say something.
It's at this moment that Damon enters the room massaging his neck as if in pain. He looks us all over confused before saying, "what's going on"
"You know you never answered your question Damon" Elijah points out. We all seem to get what he's hinting at.
"I'd say the games just about over" he argues.
"Is there a particular reason your avoiding the question" I ask
He pauses looking uncomfortable before saying, "I'm not avoiding the question, I was just trying to waste some time, I love you Elena. I would chose you"
"Well the spell wore off" Kol decides
"Thank god. I couldn't stand five more minutes of telling you how cute you are, I mean you're still really cute but I don't have to tell you any more because... Okay what's going on" Bonnie rambles
Everybody exchanges a look yet again and it's Damon who voices his opinion of, "Maybe the spell isn't broken"
"Somebody try to lie" Bonnie pushes, for once not at all wiling to volunteer herself.
"Hey, Caroline, what do you think of Nik's accent" Kol says turning to said girl with a smirk.
Caroline blushes quickly replying, "Im not answering that"
"What do you think of him in general then?" Kol challenges
"Nothing! Well obviously I think something about him, like I think he's annoying and a jerk, but I also think he can be really sweet and charming and he can always find a way to make me laugh and, Ugh! Bonnie the stupid spell isnt broken!"
Klaus smiles lightly at this while everyone else groans in annoyance at the fact the spell is still in place. I don't voice this since people would probabaly think I'm crazy but I'm glad that at the very least I know Damon was telling the truth.
"Great job Bonnie, your officially the worst witch ever" Damon decides with an eye roll.
I'm going to say something to him about this, but I don't get the chance before Caroline is breaking in.
"Leave Bonnie alone Damon! She almost died trying to do that spell for us!" She scolds
"Relax Blondie, all I'm saying is that it's in everyone's best interest for Bonnie to start working on this spell and get it reversed before bad things start happening" he counters.
"Have secrets your afraid of sharing?" She says challengingly, and the look that crosses his face makes me worried about what he could be hiding.
"Nope, none at all" Damon pauses as if waiting for something that never comes. He narrows his eyes before saying, "Hey Elijah, you're like really cool you know and that suit thing is totally awesome"
Everyone eyes Damon oddly except for Elijah and Bonnie who exchange a look as if they've just realized something, "you can lie" Bonnie reasons.
Damon smirks before saying, "No, I just love Elijah's James Bond thing" he pauses again for a brief moment before saying, "Maybe your not the worst witch after all Bon Bon"
"Wait a second, how come the spell only worked on Damon?" Caroline complains as if this is totally unfair. I can't help but slightly agree with her.
"Maybe not just Damon" Bonnie reasons, "it obviously didn't work on me or Care, maybe the spell was only strong enough to effect some of us. Anyone else want to take a try?"
"I hate you Bonnie" Kol decides. Almost immediately he follows with, "not really, I could never hate you. I've actually never felt so secure in my not hatred for someone, In fact I'm pretty sure I'm falling in love with you"
The room goes completely silent at the revelation of something we all suspected. Bonnie is the one who seems most shocked, but she doesn't dare say anything while still under the truth spell. Kol, on the other hand, looks completely casual as if he hadn't just admitted he was in love with Bonnie.
I decide to break the silence by saying, "Um... Katherine is my best friend" the only thing that came to mind as the biggest lie I could think of, "that's a lie, I actually hate her. In fact she's one of the few people on this planet that I can't stand"
"So far it seems like I'm the only lucky one" Damon voices.
"My name is not Elijah Mikaelson" Elijah barely pauses for a moment before nodding with approval as if he was hoping for this outcome. I find it a bit confusing considering he was the only one that didn't make a fool of himself today.
"Great, look who proved me wrong" Damon mutters with an eye roll which everyone ignores as they turn to the last person left in the room, Klaus.
"I am not a hybrid" Klaus voices. We all wait in anticipation and sure enough nothing happens. Klaus smirks as if this is the result he was anticipating.
"Ugh! This is no fair Bonnie, how come your spell only worked on jerks!" Caroline complains.
"Hey, I take offense to that" Damon says feigning hurt.
Caroline starts with an eye roll. "You may be really easy to talk to and acting sweet all of the sudden out of nowhere, but we all know your still a Jerk Damon"
Damon just smirks as if he finds this amusing, "whatever you say Care bear, I'm just hurt that your lumping me in with those two psychopaths" he adds to which both Elijah and Klaus roll their eyes.
"May we please stop with the name calling?" Elijah says quickly continuing before someone, most likely Damon, can call him a name, "It's obvious Bonnie was not strong enough to fully complete the spell, perhaps if we give her some time to rest we could try again later, or just completely wait out the spell in it's entirety. I imagine there are only a few hours left"
"Easy for you to say when the spell doesnt effect you" Caroline mutters before sighing, "Look, if the spell really takes that much out of Bonnie we should probabally just wait this out, but no more party games!"
"I coud try again guys, maybe if I just sit down for a few minutes-"
Kol quickly cuts Bonnie off by saying, "You will most certialy do no such thing! I am officially prescribing you rest and no more magic"
Bonnie looks ready to argue but this time I break in saying, "Kol's right Bon. You almost killed yourself today, some stupid spell isn't worth it. Besides it's getting late, we should probabaly all go to sleep"
"I volunteer to watch over Bonnie considering we will be roommates tonight" Kol says eagerly causing a nervous look to pass over Bonnie's face.
"Ugh! I forgot about those stupid room arrangements! Is there any chance we can make some last minute rearrangements?" Caroline pleads.
"Problem with your accommodations luv?" Klaus asks with a smirk. Caroline groans in annoyance before storming out of the room.
We all exchange a look but remain silent. I allow my gaze to drift to Elijah remembering he will be my roommate for the time being. He seems calm as always and I can't help but think these arrangements are probably to his liking. I sigh and it's Kol who finally breaks the silence.
"You should all go now, Bonnie needs her rest"
