The Bennett Witch

VI

As soon as Bonnie sat down at the table she was drawn into an unwanted conversation with Stefan this time he did not have the knowledge of her family to comment on instead Elena brought up Bonnie winning the town's archery contest for the female section. Stefan was surprised he had never met a witch who learned to use a weapon or any form of self-defence all other supernatural knew that they relied heavily on their magic.

"You're an archer?" Stefan asked while staring at Bonnie the girl did not even smile at him instead she ran her hands through her hair before glancing at Caroline "Yes and so is Caroline the boys taught us" It seemed that there was more to the four students than he thought. The two girls went back to their food while Elena spoke to Stefan in the middle of their meal the doorbell rang and both Bonnie and Caroline swore under their breath.

Elena looked a bit confused and turned to the door "I wonder who that could be?" the two girls both rolled their eyes and looked to the door to see Damon and Tiki by the door smiling as if they were invited. 

"Hi Caroline mentioned that you were doing dinner, so we bought dessert" Elena stared at Tiki in surprise was this girl serious they did not invite her. Bonnie smirked and nudged Caroline the two girls had already given Jeremy their bags and were prepared to join him in his room. As the girl entered the house she spun around and looked at her boyfriend "Come on in babe" she said while walking down to the dining area to his brother's absolute horror.

Damon smirked and walked in greeting everyone while Stefan stared on in horror as he now knew that Damon was able to enter whenever he wanted. Not wanting to stay in the drama-filled area the two girls stood up and made their way upstairs. Bonnie had a smirk on her face as she opened Jeremy's door and immediately flopped unto the boy's bed as he finished up an order. 

He was already used to Bonnie's behaviour so her actions were not surprising what surprised him was Caroline locking the door and tugging off her top the blonde had no issue stripping in front of others as she had a lot more confidence than others. However, it was the first time she had done this in front of Jeremy after stripping out of her previous outfit the blonde walked over to her overnight bag and pulled out a large oversized T-shirt while Jeremy just shook his hand and threw a bag of hair ties at her. 

Their group was way too comfortable with one another but they did not mind as Caroline pulled on the shirt Bonnie grabbed a towel and walked over to the sibling's shared bathroom. While Caroline managed to shower before their guest arrived she did not. Grabbing a bar of vervain jasmine soap and her rag the witch was content. She almost forgot about the Salvatore brothers till she heard Damon gloating.

Unknown to the witch both brothers smelt the vervain and shared a look it seemed that someone in the Gilbert household knew of their existence. Before they were able to ask about it they heard a voice softly humming a familiar tune however neither brother made a move not wanting to look odd.

Bonnie slowly wrapped her towel around her and walked into Jermey's room the boy just handed her, her overnight bag and ensured all his devices were face down or facing the opposite direction of his best friend. Bonnie quickly dried off and slipped on one of his T-shirts and a comfortable pair of panties if anything she had a pair of shorts in her bag. By the time Jeremy turned to her she was sitting on his bed with cocoa butter in hand as she rubbed it into her skin.

The boy just sighed and mentally thanked Matt for convincing him to buy an unnecessarily huge bed as he easily slipped into bed with both girls unlike many males however Jermy had learned his lesson and had his own covers so he would not end up freezing later. What the trio did not recognise was Damon Salvatore looking at them with a confused expression.

The vampire tilted his head as he stared at the dark-skinned girl in the middle who smelled strongly of vervain and jasmine the other two both smelt of vervain as well but hers was the most potent turning and making his way into the bathroom the scent hit him hard vervain products were being used soaps and body washes were normal the vampire knew that the herb was used for these things and sold commercially. So he wasn't surprised what surprise him was the vervain candles packed away in the cupboard.

Did they know about vampires or were they just big on the scent? Walking downstairs he asked about it "The soap I used smelt great do you know where I can get it?" Elena just smiled "Our dad loved the scent and Aunt Jenna loves it so she bulks orders from Bonnie once a month" so the girl made them that was impressive "But few people buy them at all it's just Bonnie, Jenna the Donovans and the Forbes family that use the products" well now he knew who to avoid drinking from.

His little brother, however, seemed a bit bothered by his girlfriend's words to Damon's surprise Stefan asked for a bar from his girlfriend's stash she smiled "I don't use it reminds me of dad" she said while handing over a small box of the soap. Stefan smiled and grabbed Damon who in turn grabbed onto his compelled girlfriend and dragged him out of the house.

And Damon let him as they both knew that several of his plans were ruined upon hearing Elena's words anybody he wanted to attack to bother Stefan were vervained up and then they would be found out. Additionally, none of them seemed to like the Salvatore brothers if they had to go on the glares the group gave them.
