The door to the house was open as Trixie got to it and when she knocked on the side Damon was suddenly there in front of her. She smiled as he grinned and turned back around to look in the living room.

"Elena, please come here and invite out guest inside."

"Hell no! I dont want her to be able to come in after what she did!"

"Oh stow it Elena! Its not like this is a picnic for me either! Let me in or you wont have protection and I will leave town."

"You wouldnt!" Elena was right at the door now and as Trixie smiled she sighed and crossed her arms in front of her glaring at her.

"I would. Now would you be so kind?"

"Oh damn it, come in Trixie please." Elena glared at her as Trixie stepped through the door and smiled to her then turned to Damon. She got close to him and leaned into him to whisper to him as Elena glared out of anger and jealousy.

"I need to speak with you. Privately please babe." Damon eyed her as she smiled and walked towards the kitchen area as he shrugged to Elena and followed her. Trixie wanted to make sure that only her and Damon knew what she was suspecting right now in case Elena wanted to call him out and mess everything up. Damon was shutting the swinging door behind him as Trixie leaned up against the island and he walked over to her.

"Well what did you need sweetheart?" Trixie motioned for him to come to her and as he smiled and walked up to her she slid her hands up and around his neck, bringing him down to her a bit as she grinned and leaned into him. He slipped his hands around her waist and was smiling as Trixie chuckled at him.

"I need you to help me with something. Someone is here that shouldnt be here and until I can prove its him we need to make sure he knows little to none of our plans." Damon glanced at her questioningly as she smiled and shrugged her shoulders.

"Ok, I take it you know where he is. Who and what do we need to do."

"If I am correct, Ric isnt himself. He thinks I gave my powers to Bonnie right now so lets keep him thinking that. He asked me if I would leave after I killed Nik but I informed him I couldnt anymore, that I gave my powers to Bonnie in return for her killing Nik. Ric believed it and you know if it was really our Ric he would have known that was false information. But we need to keep this going, because if he does find out I lied, we are screwed."

"I see, how did you get this into your head babe?"

"Oh, just something Ric did that struck a nerve. Same thing Nik did a long time ago. Oh and Elijah is gone."

"What?" Damon was now glaring right at her as she smiled and shrugged again. He was about to ask something when the door to the kitchen swung open and they glanced behind them to see Stefan walking in with Bonnie and Elena with him. Bonnie gasped and blushed a bit as Stefan shook his head but Elena was glaring as if she was wishing death on Trixie. Of course this didnt bother Trixie and as they all paused right behind the door she frowned a bit at them.

"Ever heard of privacy? You just walked in on us, do you mind walking out?" Elena glared as she turned on her heels and threw the door open to go back into the living room, leaving everyone in there shocked at her actions except Trixie. Stefan and Bonnie were about to follow before Trixie rushed over to them and stood in their way.

"Sorry about that Trix, we were just going to leave."

"No youre not. We need to talk."

"Look whatever is going on between you and Damon isnt my thing."

"No, its about Nik. I think he has already got eyes and ears around the town so I need you to be in on this with me. The more the better but if Elena finds out that we are faking it things could go wrong in a heart beat." Stefan and Bonnie glanced at each other before they shrugged and turned to face Trixie.

"What now?"

"Ok, Bonnie, I gave you my powers to track Elena when Isobel took her. You are the one that's going to try and take Nik out when he gets here. Stefan, Elijah left town. Thats actually not a lie. I called him after finding these things out and told him to vanish for a while. He doesnt need to be around where Nik can just get him. Also, I have nothing to do with Nik's death anymore. If anyone asks, I gave you my powers so you could kill him because all I want is my family. Now you have to believe this or no one else will. We dont need him to target me and Elijah and you three be up a shit creek with no paddles do we?" Bonnie and Stefan nodded as Trixie smiled and hugged them both. When she was about to let them know who she thought Klaus was though Elena knocked on the swinging door and pushed it open a bit behind them.

"Rics here." They all nod at each other and as Trixie smiles to Damon he nods to his brother who opens the door and leads them out into the living room. Ric is standing there smiling as Damon comes to his side and pats him on the shoulder.

"Ric buddy, Im going to need you to get me in as a chaperone tonight anyways. Trixie decided to hang out with us to watch over Bonnie since Klaus is around."

"So he really is around huh?"

"Yep, he gave a verbal attack today to Elena and we are going to find him and stop him tonight."

"How are you gong to know who he is? We dont know what he looks like."

"I do though. After giving Bonnie my powers I knew I would be needed for something and this is it." Elena stared shocked at Bonnie as she smiled and nodded. Elena shook her head as she rushed to her friend and grabbed her by the shoulders.

"Tell me you didnt take the powers to try and save me! Please tell me shes lying."

"I would, but shes not." Bonnie eyed Trixie and noticed she was right, Ric was looking at her a bit more interested now.

"Bonnie! No! I wont let you do this for me! You cant kill yourself."

"I wont, Ill make sure he dies before me." Bonnie smiled as Ric shook his head.

"Still, I dont understand, if shes got the powers and Trixie here is going to be look out, why dont we just take him down early?"

"The only way Bonnie can kill Nik with her powers is during the most vulnerable part of the transformation. Elijah said it would be when hes changing." Ric nodded as he thought bout this and when Trixie eyed Bonnie she smiled. Hoping she saw what tipped Trixie off she decided to make sure that tonight at the dance Ric or Klaus wouldn't hurt anyone and as he finally sighed and nodded to Damon Trixie knew he was buying their act.

"Sure thing Damon. I'll get you on as a chaperon so she can come. I hope you see him before he sees us Trixie."

"Im sure I will. He has a face no one could forget Ric." Ric smiled as he nodded and they started to talk about what time to meet up before Trixie went ahead and left right after Ric to go talk to Elijah and get ready.
