I sat there, staring. I didn’t know what I’d just gotten myself into, really.
“Right. We need…a witch. So I guess we’re going to have to leave town and start looking for one, stat,” Katherine mused.
“No. I know a witch,” I said softly. She snapped her head up and stared at me, and so did Alaric.
“You know a witch?” Katherine looked amused. “Well that saves us some time.” She smiled happily and literally skipped over to the door. “Come on then, we don’t have any time to lose!”
“I have to talk to her first,” I called after her, and she re-entered the room.
“So you’re friends with this witch? Wow, you’re even more like me than I first thought. In with the vampires, buddies with witches…” she smiled at me again. She really was thankful to me. I needed to go through with this. I owed it to both of us.

Bonnie waved at me as she walked through the door of Mystic Grill. She slid they chair out and sat down opposite me. I smiled gently and she beamed.
“Hey Elena!” she said as she took off her jacket. I managed to say “hello,” back. I was aware of how much I would be asking of her. She probably wouldn’t be willing to risk losing her best friend. Her face dropped.
“Are you ok?” she said, taking my hands. Suddenly she gasped and her grip tightened on my hands. I winced for a second then realized she was having a vision. I waited until she came too but she stood up and glared at me.
“I would never help you to do that Elena. I will never ever risk it. I’m sorry,” she said desperately. I widened my eyes. She had seen what I was going to tell her. I stood up too and grabbed her arm.
“Please Bonnie, just hear me out,” I pleaded but she shrugged me away.
“No, Elena. And who is that? Katherine? The girl Damon wanted so badly? She’s BACK? I can’t deal with vampire problems Elena. Not now. Not ever.” And with that she ran out of the Grill. I chased after her and she rounded the corner. She kept glancing behind her and decided to take a turn down an alley. As I rounded the corner after her I saw he against the wall. Katherine had her by the collar. Before I had time to speak and Bonnie had time to scream Katherine ripped off Bonnie’s vervain filled necklace and threw it to the floor. Then she forced Bonnie to look into her eyes.
“You will do everything I say. You will help me get my humanity back, witch. And you will forget about me, and what I’ve just done,” she said in a dreamy, melodic voice. Bonnie nodded in a hypnotic fashion and Katherine let go of her. She fell to the floor. I rushed to her side and when Katherine saw me she smiled.
“I guess when things need to be done you’ve just got to do them yourself.” She patted my shoulder and walked away down the alley. I looked back at Bonnie who was groaning and holding her arm.
“Ah, I think I sprained it...” she looked around. “What am I doing out here?” she asked. I stroked her hair.
“You were walking with me when you tripped and fell, Bonnie,” I replied. She looked slightly unsure.
“How did we end up in the alley?” I gulped. But she shook her head. “Never mind,” she said as I helped her to her feet.
“How’s your arm?” I asked her worriedly, glancing around for any signs of Katherine.
“I think its ok actually. It just hurts,” she replied, rubbing her arm tenderly.
“Come on, I’ll take you back to my house,” I said as we walked.
