The next day, Rowan headed to the Bennett's to help Sheila explain things to Bonnie. The Gilbert-witch decided to also tell Elena and Caroline soon after but first, she wanted to tell her sister and brother of their adoptions. So Rowan arrived close to noon, at the Bennett house. When she rang the door, Bonnie greeted her with a worried expression. "Hey Bunny, how you doing?" Asked Rowan.
"I don't know what's happening to me," admitted the younger with a crack in her voice. Rowan hugged Bonnie tightly and they headed inside. Sheila sat waiting in the living room. "So, grams says you'll help explain."
"Please take a seat, Bonnie, this will sound crazy and terrifying," said the reborn witch. So Bonnie sat down and stared at them in anticipation.
"Our family is very old Bonnie. We have ancestors dating back centuries ago and with these ancestors came history and certain gifts," started Sheila. She waved her hand over a candle and lit it up. Bonnie gasped but didn't react too much. Her brain still relied on fact and logic and it was telling her this cannot be magic. "Our ancestors belonged to the Salem witches," continued Sheila and she recounted the SW history to her granddaughter.
Bonnie was clearly fascinated by the history but she was apprehensive to believe in magic. "The Bennett line is one of the strongest witch lines," ended Sheila.
"Grams, this is insane, how is it possible," argued the youngest witch.
"It is Bunny, you're as much of a witch as Sheila and I are," said Rowan, grabbing the younger's attention.
"You're a witch too?" Asked Bonnie. Rowan decided on a stronger display to her sister's friend. She used her telekinetic powers to lift a book in front of Bonnie, then she burnt it. The youngest gasped as the flames engulfed the book. It fell to the table in ashes. But then, Rowan performed another spell, and the pieces mended together and got clean. The book was slowly getting rebuilt and it was as if the flames never touched it. "Oh my god!" Exclaimed Bonnie.
She got up and paced the room for a few moments, then began her fire of questioning. She had many questions about magic and the supernatural. Rowan and Sheila calmly explained the existence of each species and its abilities. "You see vampires are very similar to old mythology books. They burn in the sun and are allergic, not to garlic, but this," said Rowan and pulled out a vervain plant.
"What is it?" Asked Bonnie in curiosity.
"It's called vervain. Vampires burn when they touch it as if having an allergic reaction. Also, as long as people drink it or have it on them, vampires cannot perform one of their scarier abilities. Compulsion," responded Rowan. She went on to explain what compulsion is and who can be compelled. How witches and other supernatural beings are immune but humans are not.
