Stefan and Arabella made it to the school and seen Bonnie sitting our side on one of the picnic benches, and they made their was over to her

"Bonnie" Stefan greets her

"Stefan..."

"Hey" he sits down opposite her, Arabella sitting beside him

"Hi"

"I haven't seen you lately. How are you doing with everything?" he asked. Arabella rolled her eyes at his attempt at small talk

"I'm fine. It's all fine" she answered

"Good, yeah"

"Are you guys back in school?" she asked, looking between the twins

"No. Actually I came her to find you" as Stefan opened his mouth to continue talking, Arabella started talking

"We need you to do a locator spell" she said, not leaving any room for arguments

Bonnie looked at her and narrowed her eyes "You could ask nicely"

Arabella tilted her head "When did you mistake me as someone who had manners"

Stefan slapped her arm with the back of his hand and apologised to Bonnie "Can you do it?"

"Stefan, look" she sighed "I know Elena's okay with all this, and I appreciate what you did to help me. But I'm not really ready to dive into it with you just yet" she explained, making the Salvatore girl roll her eyes

"I understand that" Stefan said "But I need your help. It's Elena. She's with Damon. I have Elena's necklace. I was just hoping you could use this to make some sort of a connection. I just need to know that she's okay"

"How do you know I can do it?" she questioned

"Because you're a Bennet witch, Bonnie" Arabella told her, before Stefan had the chance to speak "and from my experience with witches, you can do a lot of damage"

"I'm still new at it" Bonnie told them

"And a locator spell is for beginners, so, go for it" Arabella handed her the necklace

"Okay. All right" she took the necklace and closed her eyes, but opened them a second later "There's nothing. Nothing's happening. Usually there's an image or..." she spots a leaf on the ground and gets an idea "tell me if anyone's looking"

She picks up the leaf and tried to make it float, but nothing happens. Arabella had seen this happen before with a few different witches, she was blocking her magic, but it wasn't on purpose

"What is it?" Stefan asked

"Somethings wrong"

"With Elena?" he asked, scared

"With her magic" Arabella answered for her, keeping her eyes on Bonnie

She nods "I have to go" she grabbed her things "I'm sorry, Stefan. I can't help you"

she quickly leaves while the two siblings watched. Arabella decided to just call Damon, not knowing of he would pick up

The phone rang a couple times before he eventually picked up "Hello bird"

"Where are you?" she asked "Where's Elena?"

"Do I not get a hello?"

"No" she deadpanned "Where's Elena, Damon?"

"She's fine, I'm not gonna do anything to her, I promise" he assured

Arabella scoffed "Your promises mean nothing to me anymore" she sighed and rubbed her head "Just give the phone to Elena"

After a couple of seconds, Arabella could hear Elena talking, but she didn't give Arabella a chance to talk "I'm fine, don't worry. We'll be back tomorrow, bye" and she hung up

"Bitch" Arabella scoffed

>> >> >> >>

Arabella, once again, decided to stay out of the drama, not wanting to get involved, in yet another three-sum with her brothers and the doppelgänger

She had called James and asked if he wanted to hang out at the grill, and of course, he said yes. So here the two were, trying to pick out someone for the other person to feed from

"What about her?" Arabella pointed to a blonde who was sitting at the end of the bar, nursing a red wine

"No" he shook his head

"Why not?"

"She doesn't look very tasty" he explained

"Well what if that's just how she looks? What if she is the most delicious person you will ever eat but you won't give her a shot"

"Not happening" he looked around and seen a brunette in a both, sitting around some of his friends laughing "What about him?"

Arabella tilted her head as she watched him stare at a girls ass as she walked past him, and then alert his friends about him "He looks like an asshole. Perfect"

Arabella stood up from her seat and made her way towards the group of boys, looking right at him, she didn't even bother to beat around the bush "Come with me" she compelled

He stood up, all his friends patting her back as he did. Arabella took him to the ally way were no one could see them "Don't move, don't make a sound" she dug her teeth into his neck, feeling the blood slide down her throat, she didn't realise how long it had been since she fed until that moment

She fed until she felt his body start to go limb, then pulled back, gave him some blood, and compelled him to think that they had a hot make-out session, then sent him on his way

She walked back into the bar and sat back next to James "Now, lets find someone for you"

He looked at her then noticed some leftover blood on the corner of her mouth "Wait" he put one hand on her chin and turned her head towards him, and gently wiped the blood from her mouth, while she scanned every inch of his face

He was really pretty. She didn't have to pretend around him, it was easy to be around him and talk to him, she didn't have to fake anything. She hadn't felt that way around anyone in a long time

He pulled away and she was still looking at him "What?" he questioned, snapping her out of her thoughts

"Nothing" she shook her head, but didn't look away "Just let me try something" she leaned in and softly kissed his lip, he immediately kissed her back, wanting to do nothing more in that moment that kiss her, it was what he wanted from the moment he met her

They pulled away and looked at each other in the eyes, getting lost in each other "Do you wanna get dinner sometime?" he asked

She smiled slightly "Sure"
