The Bennett twins

Everyone leaves eventually

It's been four years since I was born and pretending to be unaware is starting to get on my fucking nerves I'm about to be five this year and learning how to walk and talk all over again has been rather boring since I never forgot!! and I have to pretend that I'm going at a slow pace, even though I can tell that the grown-ups around me are highly uncomfortable with me Apparently even with all my pretending I still come off.... A bit more aware than I should be. Whatever the only person that truly understands me is Bonnie. She's a fast learner, not as fast as me, but I've been teaching her everything I know well mostly everything I keep what I know about this world, and me being reincarnated to myself every night when they are sleeping I sneak into the attic and I jot down everything I can remember about this universe and make plans so I can be prepared, I remember watching this show with a friend in my past life and I remember being fascinated with the werewolves and with a certain original hybrid and I know that as soon as the originals come to town is when all the good drama starts, but I do have to be aware for when the Salvatores come to town because I must keep Bonnie out of their clutches.

Another thing is I only have a year left until my mother is supposed to abandon us and I'm too small to do anything about it. It's frustrating. I can feel my magic but they haven't taught us anything yet so I can't stop Michael but somebody has to he's a danger for everybody. I remember the promise that I made when I first came to this world, and I feel my heartbreaking because I'm supposed to be keeping the family together and I feel like I'm already failing on one of my promises but there's nothing I can do about it. One thing I will do is make sure that Abby doesn't lose her magic even if I have to kill Damon Salvatore myself.

One year later...

Today is the day I can tell Abby has been acting real sus she took me and Bonnie out shopping and to get food basically we've been spending the whole day with her when normally we spend the whole day with Sheila because Abby and Rudy are typically working even though Abby doesn't work nearly half as much as Rudy does, he's always out of town but when he is in town, he is somewhat there I definitely have more family than what I did so I can't really complain. I can see the sadness and wildness in her eyes. I know it's been a week since she desiccated Michael I remember the night it happened when she came home. I could feel the magic pulsing through the air. I remember Sheila being so worried about the expression magic that Abby had to tap into, I remember Rudy rushing us out of the house and getting a hotel and refusing to come back until Abby promised to be done with "whichy business" that really pissed me off because you married a witch your daughters are witches. What do you expect but three days later we were back home with Abby promising to not practice magic anymore now a week later and I can see the pain that our mother is in I don't understand tho I remember canon Bonnie going a bit bonkers with expression but she eventually controlled it and then got rid of it why didn't Abby just get rid of it, I know I sound naïve but I thought this time around I'd get to have a mom that put me first.

Wake up! I hear Bonnie scream whisper in my ear, holy shit why are you yelling at me? hehehe you said a bad word remember granny said ladies don't curse. Yeah and ladies don't drink a bottle of bourbon before noon but you don't see me being judgey I tell her she just shakes her head at me, what I ask her seeing that it's 7am I think mom left, I freeze what do you mean she left, I found this letter in her bed when I went to wake her up this morning Bonnie says as she hands me the letter. I was prepared for this I knew this would happen for 5 years I knew I remember my life and although I've accepted this life as my own this family as my own I still thought since technically I'm 27 in my mind I've had both parents leave me I've been alone I should be strong enough to not care that's she's left to be the rock my twin needs but when I see the four  miserable words on that paper I lose it. Onyx you need to calm down I hear Bonnie say but I can't what dose she mean (I can't do this) do what take responsibility for the children you gave birth to if the magic was that important why not just leave Rudy I can understand wanting to keep practicing but why leave us why leave me why don't I deserve a mother what have I done!?! I can hear Bonnie screaming for sheila and Rudy.

I can feel the warm arms of my grandmother wrap around me, why did she leave us I realize I've been screaming over and over shhhhh child it's okay you are not alone I will never leave you I can see Rudy staring at the letter and he just sits it on the table and calls out I have to go to work before he leaves I feel something break inside me at the moment, everyone leaves me at some point I say emotionlessly as I just sit there I can see Bonnie laying on my lap silently crying Sheila looks at me with a mix of shock concern but over all sadness she pulls me closer and whisper I don't what pain you still carry with you child but you are Onyx Bennett and you are not alone I will never leave you and your sister will never leave you the bond you two share is deeper then you know little one.
