Today was the day, the 150th Anniversary of the founding of Mystic Falls also known as The Founders' Day.

The device was still active, and even thought the Tomb Vamps were dead, John still planned on going with his plan. I really hate that guy, urgh.

Anna and her mother had left town yesterday, but I'm pretty sure Jeremy still had her blood. So, what to do? Help the kid with his change, or leave it to faith? He might turn, or if it goes like cannon he won't. I'll just leave it alone for now.

The Salvatore's had, obviously, ignored my subtle advice to leave town. If they died, well ... Elena would soon follow because I wasn't rescuing her from Katherine. I would try to avoid that happening, if only to have something else to hold over their heads.

Katherine, yes she was coming to play tonight. Unforgettably she was going to play with Care and I couldn't have that happen. I was going to be a witch guard dog, right next to Caroline's hospital bed.

If things went as planned the only dead body today would be the mayor, and we didn't need another werewolf when Klaus rolled into town. It's better if he's dead, I'm sparing him some suffering as a triggered werewolf really.

I strolled into town, everyone was already here celebrating. I ignored the humans, and walked towards Dr. Gilbert's old clinic. It wasn't on fire yet, so I quickly walked in and went downstairs.

"Were are the others?" John growled at a wounded Damon. Next to Damon was a passed out Mayor Lockwood. "When did you turn the Mayor?"

"The hell you talking about?" Damon replied, coming into his surroundings.

"Where are the tomb vampires?" John Gilbert asked again.

I used this chance to make myself known. "Burned and dead obviously." I stated, rolling my eyes at John.

"Bonnie?" The Gilbert man asked, surprised.

"No shit Sherlock." I replied dryly, taking the chance to look at Damon. "You can't have a vampire barbecue without a witch."

"You have to leave, it isn't safe here." John said, trying to pull me out of the building. Before he could even grab me, I saw he was wearing the Gilbert ring and snapped my fingers- breaking his neck with my mind.

"Finally." I snarled, walking towards Damon. "I thought he wouldn't shut up."

"Witchy to the rescue?" Damon asked, but I could tell he still wasn't himself.

"Yup, now grab on and let's go." I replied, pulling him up from the floor. He merely groaned in pain.

Also, I might have set the clinic on fire.

If John died, well to bad. He only served to preserve Elena's life for a bit anyway. Not much would be lost.

When we got outside Stefan was there, looking for Damon.

"Bonnie, you rescued Damon." Stefan stated, looking really surprised. Jesus Peaches, I'm not that much of a dick.

"Of course, now he owes me again." I replied quickly, dropping Damon on the floor. "If you want to save your girl's dad you might have to be quick."

"What?" Stefan asked stupefied.

"I might have left John there to die by the flames." I replied, unemotionally. "Also the Mayor."

Before I could even say anything else, Peaches threw himself into the flames. His only luck was that I diminished the flames a bit. When he got out he only brought John with him, apparently the Mayor was already dead, probably from the smoke.

This just proved that things were trying to stay as close as canon as possible- a werewolf, even untriggered, wouldn't have died from smoke inhalation.

That was when I got a text from Sheriff Forbes, Care was in the hospital.

When given the change to give Caroline Damon's blood, I said yes. Because like cannon Bonnie, I wasn't prepared to lose my friend to some car accident. Caroline deserved a better death than by car accident, or even by pillow.

I always had the opinion that while people couldn't choose where and when they were born, they at least had the right to choose when and where they would die.

We were told soon enough that Caroline was resting and that she was out of danger. With that Elena and Damon soon left, and Sheriff Forbes went to work. Meanwhile I stayed by her side.

"Ugh, my head." The blonde girl cursed from the hospital bed.

"Do you want some drugs?" I asked, smiling down at her.

"Bon-Bon." Caroline said in greeting. "Why are you here?"

"Protecting you." I replied. "But seriously, do you want drugs?"

"From what?" She asked, narrowing her eyes at me while ignoring my question.

"There might be a vampire that might kill you, and turn you into a vampire tonight." I replied, seriously. I didn't bother lying to her, she knew me to well.

"You said that the future you knew was already written down." She stated carefully, now obviously aware of her surroundings.

"Well somewhat." I replied.

"And you said you couldn't change big things because it could have an impact on the future." She stated again, and I nodded silently. "So what is my fate tonight?"

"I..." I started, lost at what to say. Should I tell her that she could be a great vampire? Should I tell her that she could never have what she wanted- the picket fence and the large family with a dog?

"I'm meant to die tonight right?" Caroline asked, and I knew she accepted it already.

"Caroline, nothing is written in stone." I tried saying. "If I stay here, right were I am, all night you will be safe."

"Tell me something..." The blonde said. "will I like it?"

"Like what?" I asked, perplexed.

"Being a vampire." She replied. "Will I like it?"

"Immortality will suit you like a glove, but you will hate it in the beginning." I replied, truly to the best of my knowledge.

"Then go home Bonnie." She said, giving me a small smile.

"Why?" I asked, shocked. I was willing to change the timeline for her, why was she so accepting.

"Because sometimes we are meant for things we don't understand, but that eventually with time we understand." She replied, and it just confirmed something that I always knew. Caroline Forbes was no normal human being.

"Won't you regret it?" I asked, sitting myself next to her on the hospital bed. "Won't you resent me then?"

"Will you still be my friend?" She asked, without replying to my questions. "Will you still have my back?"

"Always." I replied, and she smiled at me.

"Then you have nothing to worry about."

Yes Caroline Forbes was no normal human being, she was meant to be extraordinary. But she didn't deserved to be killed by Katherine Pierce like a pawn in a chess game. She didn't deserve to die do send a message to the Salvatores.

"Close your eyes Care." I said, looking at her with no emotion on my face.

"I thought I was meant to wait for a big bag vampire Bon." She replied, understanding.

"Do you prefer the vampire bitchy version of Elena or the wicked witch of Mystic Falls?" I asked dryly.

"Obviously you." Caroline Forbes replied, settling back on the bed with her eyes closed and a big smile on her face. Her last human smile.

I closed my eyes and snapped my fingers, Caroline's neck snapped.
