Chapter twelve
"Your past does come back to haunt you."
Walking down the stairs the next morning, Beatrix was going to the kitchen and as she was, she noticed her grandmother wasn't sitting at the dining table, as the sound of chopping could be heard as she walked into the kitchen, she saw her grandmother with a huge knife in her hand "okay, okay, mother..do you need to take your anger out on the food?" her mother asked her, trying to take the knife as her grandmother turned and pointed at her "anger? Anger isn't what I'm feeling Cassandra!" she voiced, turning and looking at her granddaughter, motioning the knife toward's her "it's good you're here, too." she told her.
As Beatrix furrowed her brows "that..that girl that you saw in your vision who's potentially rangling together all those stupid vampires who keep screwing up, isn't just some run of the mill girl! I know her!" her grandmother voiced, chopping again "or technically knew her since it was back in 1864 and I hadn't seen or heard of her since last night." she shared "who is she?" Beatrix asked her "her name is Annabelle, her mother was a wretched women who thanks to the stupid townspeople was a bit too smart at catching on especially when I had made someone vervain for the first time in years but I unlike everyone else covered my tracks. But if she's here looking for the same thing that we are then that means her mother's in that tomb and if she's in there, then we as witches are royally fucked!" she voiced, chopping again, as Beatrix and her mother looked to each other worried.
Her grandmother then chuckled "Mr Gilbert and Mr Lockwood." she told them, scoffing "older then me yes but such children were they, I mean seriously coming to me about a scientific compass that could track the unknown. Please! If your gonna say things to someone, speak the truth, don't step around. Vampire! Vampires! You wanted the magical compass to help you track the vampires. And of course me and my mother gave it to them, thinking it would give us an advantage and in a way it did, because since Emily was working close with all of the vampires compared to us we flew under the radar and were able to get away rather then be burned at the stake." she shared, as Beatrix nodded "yeah, I've seen it, Damon had it who got it from Logan." she told them.
As Beatrix's mother raised her brows "so Johnathan Gilbert hunted vampires?" she asked, as Beatrix's grandmother scoffed "hunted? He believed that he was although he was always a bit too short of some brain cells.." she told them, chuckling "especially when it came to Annabelle's mother, miss Pearl who was basically was Katherine's best friend, where ever the other went, the other seemed to follow, putting on their charade of being human.
And since her grandmother had basically butchered their dinner, Beatrix had headed to the grill to pick up their order and as she did, she noticed Bonnie sitting at the table with Ben as she raised her brows and smiled, Bonnie smiled back at her, and as Beatrix turned to the counter to pick up her meal, Bonnie got up and walked over to her "so..seems like someone took my advice after all." Beatrix shared, laughing, as Bonnie chuckled "yeah but I also wanted to one up Caroline. But it's going great! He's a perfect gentleman." she shared, as Beatrix furrowed her brows "gentleman? Your making it sound like he's my grandmother's age." she shared.
"I know. Boring, huh? I just wanna grab him and lay one on him." Bonnie shared, as Beatrix raised her brows "well seeing how my first kiss was me doing the exact same thing I say go for it." she shared "well, you had some kind of witch mojo going on like how you said you didn't know why you did it. Where meanwhile I'm a chicken." Bonnie shared, as Beatrix sighed, turning to her face as she put her hands on her shoulders "Bonnie, my grandmother always says is that when us witches think something it just means we are very clever and that anytime we have a gut feeling we should go for it and not hesitate. So if you think you wanna make the first move then you should." she shared.
As Bonnie took a deep breath "you are once again, right." she told her, as her and Beatrix chuckled "if you're not here still when it's over, I'll text you later." Bonnie told her "okay." Beatrix told her, taking her hands off her shoulders as Bonnie turned walking back to Ben, and as she did.
Soon Beatrix's food was brought up to her by Matt "got it all right here. And I'm not trying to ask about what you and your family are deciding to eat for dinner but this was a bit of a strange request." he shared, as Beatrix furrowed her brows "weird request?" she asked, as Matt motioned to the bag 'open it yourself." he told her.
In which Beatrix untied the bag and opened it, pulling out the container "how can it be weird?" she asked, opening the case, but as she did, a thing of warms were inside of it, as Beatrix gasped and dropped it to the floor "what..what is that?" she asked, feeling sick, as Matt furrowed his brows "that's what I meant by weird." he shared, as Beatrix shook her head "no, no, we.."she told him, digging in her pocket and pulling out the piece of paper "this..this is what we ordered." she told him, handing it over to him, and as she did, Matt furrowed his brows "yeah, but this is what the kitchen got." he told her, handing the paper over.
And as Matt did, Beatrix took it and looked it over and it was a list of a bunch of witch ingredients, as she furrowed her brows "Beatrix.." Matt told her, furrowing his brows, seeing as she looked a bit pale, Beatrix then looked around her and as she did, she noticed the girl with Jermey who had jet-black hair and a leather jacket as she crumpled up the piece of paper, she turned to Matt "if this supposed to be some twisted joke, Matt?" she asked, turning and throwing the piece of paper at him "it's not funny!" she voiced, turning and walking to the girls bathroom and as she did, Matt furrowed his brows "I didn't mean to!" he voiced, as the girl with Jermey turned and followed her.
Where as Beatrix opened the door, she walked up to the sink and began washing her hands, although as she looked up from it, Annabelle was standing behind her, as she glared at her "trying to expose us? A little witches brew in our family dinner isn't gonna make us falter." she shared, as Annabelle smirked "that wasn't what it looked like from my end." she shared, as Beatrix scoffed "yeah, I'm sure we all know what it looks like from your end." she mumbled, moving her hands from the sink and as she did, Annabelle huffed, speeding forward and slamming Beatrix's head against the mirror, sending her to the floor "well, you definitely are Winnifred Blacks granddaughter." she told herself, smirking down at her.
And soon it got later into the night, as Cassandra headed down the stairs, she furrowed her brows, looking from the front door to the kitchen, seeing her mother sitting there by herself "where's Beatrix?" she asked her, walking toward's her "she went to get the food about.." her mother was saying, as realization hit her "hours ago." she said, as Cassandra walked toward's her "then where is she?" she asked her, as her mother took a deep breath "where? I don't know. But with who?" she asked, shaking her head "it's what I've been fearing this whole time. My past has come back to haunt me, yet they seem to forget that I'm not the same witch I used to be." she shared, slamming her hands on the table and standing up, walking toward's the door and as she did, Cassandra turned following her.
