Slow Burn [Klaus Mikaelson Story]

3. Little Brother

"Shit, Shit, Shit" I say as I look at the time on my phone. I have five minutes to get ready. I quickly grab a black shirt and shorts from yesterday which are sprawled across the floor. I pick it up and change, throwing my night clothes over the suitcase.

I run towards the bathroom a sigh of relief leaves my lips as I see it is not occupied.

I pull out a new toothbrush from the cabinet underneath the sink and toothpaste from behind the mirror cabinet. I squeeze the blue gel out onto the brush and start to brush my teeth. After two minutes. I rinse my mouth and put the brush in the brush holder next to other two brush and place the toothpaste tube back in its place.

I'll worry about my backpack from tomorrow.

I run downstairs to see Jeremy and Elena drinking coffee,

"Hey" Jeremy greets me, "Morning" I smile at him.

"Coffee?" Elena asks.

"Nah I rather not today" I reply, she just shrugs her shoulder and go back to sipping her coffee.

I hear a car honk outside, "That's Bonnie" Elena stutters almost choking on her coffee.

She places her half empty coffee cup in the basin and looks at Jeremy, "You need a ride?" she asks.

"Nah" he says slowly sipping on his coffee. "Oh I almost forgot, Isla?" Jeremy puts his hand out with twenty dollars in his hand. I give him a questioning look.

"Lunch money, Aunt Jenna gave for you?" he hands me the money and slowly nod at him.

"Speaking of aunt Jenna where is she?"

"She had some thesis to submit in college I think and she was getting late" Elena says , I nod at her.

"Where is your bag?" She asks seeing the lack of the straps on my shoulder.

"I'll be fine for today" I tell her, she shrugs and takes my head leading me out of the house towards a cyan coloured car.

She skips over to the car, me following behind her trying to keep up with her pace. She slides in passenger side of the car. I slide in the back of the car.

"Hey you must be Isla! I am Bonnie! it is so finally nice to meet you!" she says with such genuine smile but I can't bring myself to replicate her energy so I give her small smile.

After introducing ourselves she started to talk about what she did in summer.

"Grams told me that we descendant from these really cool Salem witches and that I can be a psychic!" She exclaims in disbelief.

I am really glad they both choose to ignore which made my nerves clam down a bit.

"I mean put that woman in a home already!" she chuckles shaking her head. She says gaining my attention.

"Elena?" She suddenly questions.

I bend down in the middle space between the two seats, to see Elena looking out the car, spacing out.

"Elena" I slightly shake her snapping her out of her daze. "What?" she snaps at me making my eyebrow shot in question. She mumbles a small apology before looking back at Bonnie.

"I was doing it again wasn't I?" she gives sheepish smile to Bonnie, "What are you saying?"

"That grams told me I am some sort of psychic" Bonnie says looking at her.

"Right predict something for me then" Elena suggests raising her brow at her.

"Okay I see that-" she gets cut off when something hits the wind shield making Bonnie lose her control on the car as we skid for a minute. I quickly grab the shoulders of the seat bracing myself.
