Always and Forever

Bloodline:

~Bonnie's Pov~
I space out in the middle of class, looking out into the hallway. I furrow my brows as I notice a figure in the hall staring at me through the classroom window before continuing to walk. Mrs. Bradley is in the middle of talking about an assignment that I'm unfocused on. I stand up and decide to follow this figure. It's more as if I'm being called to her, like a magnet pulling me into her. I close the door behind me and look down the hall, she's nowhere in sight until I look down the other way. "Hey!" I whisper yell out to her, confused at the situation at hand. She stops in the corner between the lockers and a classroom door. The girl looks up at me and disappears, again she's down the hall. I follow her all the way outside, and into the woods. The figure freezes and turns around slowly to face me. "Can you help me?" She speaks in a very soft voice. "Who are you?" I question, beckoning an answer. "I'm Emily. You know that. We're family." My body turns cold as she speaks to me. I've never felt anything like this before. In all honesty I'm a bit scared. What am I supposed to do with all this? "Where am I?" I ask, looking around curiously. "This is where it all started...this is where it happened. And this is where it must end." I shake my head not fully grasping what she's trying to tell me.
Not fully grasping this girl in front of me, she's a fathom of my imagination. It has to be, I'm sick, I'm hallucinating. Something logical. "This isn't real!" I shake my head, quickly turning on my heels and running fast through the woods, not caring about the trees or branches my arms brush up against. Emily quickly appears in front of me, how did she get over to me so fast? This can't be happening, I turn the other way to try to escape her again, but it's no use. "Help me." Emily demands, I gasp and suddenly I'm back in Mrs. Bradley's class. I look around the class, clearly I'm out of my mind. Nightmares I guess. "What are you looking at?" I ask one of the students who was staring at me, probably startled them when I woke, and possibly thinking I'm weird. "Turn around." I tell her, she should really mind her business. I jolt slightly as I see Emily sitting right next to me. Definitely not a dream, a hallucination maybe, but not a dream. I face forward for the rest of the class, too afraid to look anywhere but at Mrs. Bradley, literally dead in her face. In fear that I'll see Emily again, and if I see her again what it's all supposed to mean.
My body cold, I jolt awake, my body aches as I notice I'm in the woods laying on the ground still in my Pjs. I shiver as I stand up rubbing my hands on my arms to try to warm up a little bit. The sun is slowly rising, my breath can be seen in the air. I take slow and careful steps through the woods until I find my way back home. I creep inside as silently as possible so as to not grab my dad's attention. I get straight into the shower and get ready for school. There's no way I can go back to sleep after that horrific dream. What was it supposed to mean? Who is Emily exactly? She claims to be a Bennett but...this kind of stuff just doesn't exist. But is it so wrong that ghosts and spirits can exist if my friends are vampires? Maybe all that crazy stuff my Grams always talks about is true. Is that possible? My dad always chulks it up to be crazy talk because she's getting old. But I don't know, I'm starting to feel the things she always describes. I'm afraid of what this could mean for me. 
I wait impatiently for Cassandra to arrive at school, instantly pulling her away from the boys. "Wow, so jealous." Edward jokes as I pull her away, but I have no time to play any of his games right now. "Woah B, what's up?" She looks at me concerned. "Is everything alright?" She sits down on the bench and gestures for me to do the same. Though I haven't been able to sit still since that dream about Emily. I've been shaken up about it. I settle for pacing back and forth at a close distance as I retrace my morning's steps for her. "Woah, so you see dead people now?" She pauses, "Like more dead than me kind of dead?" She corrects humorously. "Yes..I think.." I trail unsure as I stop in my tracks right in front of her. "This all sounds crazy doesn't it?"
"Uh..no not really." She looks up at me and answers bluntly. I throw my hands into the air. "You're supposed to tell me I'm going insane or something!" She stands up and rests her cool hands over my shoulders. "Bonnie, you're not insane. Your best friend is a vampire for heaven's sake." She drops her hands from my shoulders. "And, doesn't your Grams mess with that witchy voodoo hoodoo, hocus pocus crap?"
"I-..I mean yeah.. I think she's just crazy right? None of it's real."
"You're in a town of vampires who can control and read minds, spirits aren't really that far fetched. Besides there's so much more folklore and urban legends on ghosts than there is on Vampires, so if we exist, in theory so do they." I sigh, coming to the conclusion that she's kind of right. If vampires exist why wouldn't every other scary story?
"When did you start seeing Emily?" Cassie asks as Care walks up to us, she says nothing as she buts into the conversation with ease. "Uh..I don't know. When I got this necklace I think." I rest my hand over the stone, the two of them taking a look at it. "That's my necklace." Caroline says, stunned, "I've been looking for it everywhere." She tries to take a hold of it and I take a step back. "Dude." Caroline has never really been one to respect boundaries. "Are you being serious? I'm telling you it's mine, just give it to me." She tries to grab it again. "Back off Caroline." I snap at her and she huffs in annoyance. "Whatever." She says as she catches sight of Aurelia, she's about to rain on her parade too. "Lia!" She links arms with her and Aurelia, looks at us puzzled at why Care is in such a hurry to get away from us.
