Eight

The girls were two hours away from New Orleans when Katherine leaned forward and turned off Caroline's I-pod that had been connected to the car's radio. Katherine didn't think she could take another hour of the kind of peppy, bubbly music that Caroline seemed to like. Especially since Katherine was in no mood for happiness right now. She wanted something dark. Like emo or rock music. Though she doubted Bonnie and Caroline would warm up to the idea.

"Hey!" Caroline pouted. "I was listening to that."

"I'm going to tear my hair out if I have to listen to 'I'm walking on Sunshine' one more time." She smirked. "Let's play a game. A road trip game."

Bonnie looked up from her crossword puzzle. "What kind of game?"

Katherine closed her eyes. She didn't have a specific game in mind, but she didn't want something lame like truth or dare. "Let's play Dream Sex."

Caroline snorted. "Did you just make that up?"

"Maybe."

Bonnie pushed her head between the two seats. "How do you play?"

"Wait, Bon you're not seriously considering Katherine's dirty idea of a game are you?" Caroline shrieked. "You're the innocent one."

Bonnie shrugged. "It might be fun, it's either that or another two hours of crossword puzzles."

"Nice, Bon Bon. I never expected that from you." Katherine smirked. "Shy on the streets, sexy in the sheets."

Bonnie and Caroline looked at her.

"What?" Katherine shrugged. "I remembered it from Pretty Little Liars." They continued staring at her. "I had a lot of free time all right. Enough talking, let's play. Who's going first?"

Neither girl said a word.

"Oh, come on! What are you guys thirteen? Please tell me you guys have slept with someone before."

"I have." Caroline replied. "Bonnie hasn't lost her V-Card though."

Bonnie blushed as she bit her pinky nail. "Actually I did . . . to Jeremy a couple of months ago. Before we broke up that is."

Caroline's blue eyes went wide. "Seriously, Bonnie and you didn't tell me!"

"Ugh. Seriously? What a waste!"

"Katherine!" Caroline hissed. "Sensitivity!"

"Sorry, my virginity ship sailed a long time ago." Katherine put a reassuring hand on Bonnie's shoulder. "Though, trust me I've been there. The man I lost my virginity too, dump me the second I got knocked up."

"Well, thankfully I can't get pregnant since I'm half dead." Bonnie pressed her back against her seat. "That is I think."

"Amen." Katherine said as she turned to the perky blond next to her. "Ok, since we're all women now, question number one goes to Caroline. How are you going to greet Klaus the second you get to New Orleans?"

Caroline flushed. "What do you mean how I'm going to greet him?"

"Katherine, did you really expect Caroline to strip dance for him?" Bonnie chuckled.

"I don't think he will complain." Katherine said defensively. "And Blondie you need to have a lot more imagination if you want to keep the psychotic hybrid interested."

"Oh, please." Bonnie rolled her eyes. "All Caroline has to do is smile as Klaus is her willing slave."

"What about you?" Caroline asked curisoly.

"What about me?"

"You're pissed at Elijah," Bonnie pointed out. "You were threatening to hunt him down with an ax."

Katherine bit her lip nervously. Oh, yeah she had skipped the whole talking part and the part about Elijah maybe not wanting her anymore. She put on a brave smile. No way was she going to show her insecurities. "Well, after I smack him a couple of times there is always of course make up sex." She pursed her lips. "I always wanted to greet him in his room, on his bed completely naked with only a pair of high heels and red lipstick, and then we will bang until I can't walk straight for a week!"

"Romantic." Bonnie said sarcastically.

Katherine shrugged. "Neither Elijah or me are the type to cover the room with rose petals."

"I like her. I can't see why Elijah would dump her."

Bonnie turned to her side and saw Kol smiling at her. He had his arm wrapped around her shoulder. "What are you doing here?"

Caroline looked over the review mirror. "Who's here?"

"No one."

"I'm no one now? I'm hurt, Bonnie. I thought were, were buddies."

"We are not buddies, Kol." Bonnie snapped.

"Temper, temper." Kol said lazily as he looked at Caroline. "I see that Goldilocks still has my brother wrapped around her little finger." He looked at Katherine's curly hair. "Want me to solve you another mystery, darling? I know Katherine."

Bonnie looked at Katherine. "How do you know Katherine?"

Katherine flushed. "Kol, don't you dare! I will kill you!"

"Darling, I'm already dead." Kol taunted even though Katherine couldn't hear him. Kol whispered in Bonnie's ear. "Back in 1493, when dear old Katherine was still a baby vampire I helped her during her second year, she was a bit rough around the edges. Taught her to feed, the humanity switch, she became one of my most excellent students. Why she kept it all hush up I don't know why. Probably because Klaus would strangle us because I kept him from getting his revenge and we all know how possessive Elijah can be. She used to be so sweet, then she turned into a violent maniac."

"The student becomes the master." Bonnie said dryly feeling a teensy bit jealous. "So are you trying to tell me that you two slept together?"

"Once, it was only once, ok!" Katherine practically hollered.

"God Katherine." Caroline snorted. "Is there any Mikaelson boy you haven't slept with?"

Katherine paused. "I didn't sleep with Finn. The guy was such a Mama's boy, plus he was more interesting lying in a box."

"So girlies," Kol leaned over to the front seat. "We're going to make this road trip worthwhile, what are our plans?"

"You're not going anywhere." Bonnie tugged on the back of his shirt. "This is a girls' trip, not girls plus Kol."

Kol pouted. "Meanie."

"Get used to it."
