Here we go again

Chapter 3

Elena’s pov

“Elena we are going to get out of this place and I will explain everything to you when we are at the boarding house because I need to find something I gave to Stephan a long time ago”

“I’m not sure it’s really a good idea for you to go there right now, Damon is feeling a little bit out of it right now and Stephan is not as his best either”. When I mentioned Damon, her expression changed to a faraway look and when I talked about Stephan she had that little smirk again. She definitely knew them.

“Don’t worry Elena, Stephan, I believe, will be happy to see me again and Damon just came in so he will not be home when we get to the boarding house. Now could we leave before he sees me because I really do not need to see him right now.”

And before I could say anything she was dragging me out of the Mystic Grill. Once outside, she picked me up and next thing I knew we were in front of the boarding house! It was not an agreeable experience to be carried by a vampire running full speed. I felt nauseous actually.

“Never, ever do that to me ever again! Do you understand!” And once again her only response was to laugh. And I joined in because I had to admit the situation was quite funny indeed.

Nina’s pov

Here we were! In front of the boarding house, I was going to see Stephan again! And before Elena could make anymore of her little comments I walked right in the boarding house screaming “STEPHAN” in a sing-song voice! That was the only way I had ever called him. Always using that very tone of voice which annoyed him so much. Not even a second later, there he was, standing in front of me, not having changed a bit.

“Well, well, well if it isn’t my little she-devil!”

“Aren’t you happy to see me Papa Bear?”

“Oh I missed you so, like the sun misses the flower because without you there was no reason to shine”

“Oh you are the sun in my day PB”

We looked at each other for a few seconds before we burst out laughing. We always had a  lot of fun together. I was surprised to feel it was so easy to talk to him again, just like in old times. I hugged him. He put his arms around me and for a few seconds I had the illusion I was in someone else’s’ arms and that I was safe.

“Not that I do not appreciate this but I do feel a little lost right now” And Elena had to break out moment.

“I told you I would explain it to you when you came here, missy and I will so go and sit on the couch while I go and fetch my deposit with Papa Bear”

“What is it with you and nicknames?”

“Don’t worry Missy, you’ll get used to it, everybody does you can give me one if you want I don’t mind but for now go and sit!”

In she went, when she was out of earshot I stared at Stephan and started to speak once again.

“Stephan you are not going to tell her about my history with Damon do you understand. You are going to keep that to yourself. Please” I was begging him by now, my voice barely above a whisper my emotions threatening to overcome me.

“ I won’t tell her anything. But you cannot expect to hide away from Damon forever, not in this little town. Someone will figure it out eventually and he is going to want answers once he figures all the memories out.”

“I know” And on those last words I joined Elena on the couch followed closely by Stephan.

Our discussion was long and I had to reveal things to Elena that I had not shared with anyone in a long time. I went over my plan with her and explained in detail what was going to happen in the next few hours and days.

As I finished talking I could see the shock written all over her face.

“Elena you have to call Bonnie now so we can get on with it, I know this is a lot of shit to take in but we don’t have time to dwell on this right now”

“I’ll call her, we can leave as soon as you’re ready”

She called her and agrees to a meeting at the old witches’ house. I was going to leave the room when I remembered something.

“Stephen, you still have the necklace don’t you?”         

“Yes, of course, I’ll go and get it, it belongs to you after all”

A few seconds later he was back with my necklace. It was one of my dearest possessions and I was glad to have it back around my neck.

I smiled and hugged Stephan to thank him for all he was doing for me. I knew he was still confused over his little episode with Klaus but he never was able to restrain his feelings with me and it did him some good.

After that we left to go and join the Bennet witch.

Bonnie’s pov

I was at the old witches’ house waiting for Elena who said she had to see me as soon as possible. She had seemed so eager on the phone that I had come straight away. Because of our obvious luck those past few years something bad had probably happened and now we had to meet to try and find a solution. That had been my life for the last months. So here I was waiting for her to finally show up.

That’s when I saw them coming from the forest. Elena was in front and right behind her stood a woman I had yet to meet. She wasn’t very tall but she had this presence in her stance which clearly made her presence known. She was beautiful. Her long wavy hair flowed around her graceful face and she walked with elegance.

“Bonnie, this is Nina. She’s going to…” before she could go on the other women-Nina- guts her off,

“I think I can introduce myself. Hello Bonnie. I would appreciate if you could give me your hand please, it will be easier that way for you to understand that way.”

To anyone else it would’ve seemed as a strange request but I knew that I could tell what people were by touching them so I did what she told me. As soon as I took her hand in mine I was hit by this feeling of death. I gasped and took several steps backwards. Another vampire in our little town, this could not be good!

“Get away from me!”

“The Bennet witches were always overly dramatic. Now Bonnie you are going to take my hand back in yours and look behind that first feeling you got and then you’ll understand.”

“Bonnie trust her, she won’t harm you. I promise” I looked towards Elena, she had an earnest look and so I decided to move past my fear and to just as she told me.

Once again I felt the unmistakable presence of death but I looked farther and what I found shock me beyond everything I had yet seen or experienced.

How was it even possible for her to be such a thing?  Who on earth was this vampire girl??
