Bring me Back

Chapter 13

Bonnie was surprised she didn't get this sooner. I mean it was practically sitting right in front of her. The location of the witch was obvious. They knew she was in New Mexico and she knew that the witch community of New Mexico was well hidden and very small, so witches likely stuck together. The shop she had come across during her walk the other day was the perfect witch hideout.

So, Bonnie set out and made her way to the shop before anyone woke up. She pushed past people in the streets, avoided the beggar man on the side of the road, and took the short cut street to get there faster.

There weren't that many people up at this time but even still the streets were still crowded with people trying to get an early start on their jobs and shopping.

When Bonnie reached the shop, it was mostly empty of people, besides one or two of them merely looking at different herbs toward the front of the store. But Bonnie had witch business. So, she walked to the way back of the store, not bothering to pay attention to the other items around the store. She knocked on the back door and it was opened to reveal a woman. She had brown wavy hair that went a little past her shoulders. There was a blue tattoo that surrounded her left eye. When she saw Bonnie, she tried to close the door, but Bonnie used her magic to keep it open and push past her. The door slammed shut behind her.

"Bonnie Bennett, I never would have thought I'd see you here, let alone see you anywhere considering you're supposed to be dead."

"Well I am a lot more resilient than most would give me credit for."

"Look, I don't want any trouble. I was paid to kill you, no questions asked."

"By who?"

"I don't know, all I know is some chic in a black hood came to me in the middle of the night. She gave me a bracelet and half the money."

"Bracelet?"

"It was charmed by the ancestors or some shit I don't know. I had a vampire who owed me a favor compel some boxer down the street to take the bracelet which would make him immune to your powers while he wore it go kill you. I never received the second half of the money, I figured I'd just been conned."

Bonnie nodded. That explained his strength. And why he wasn't affected by her powers. The woman looked scared, but something was off. She was either telling the truth, or she was an extremely good liar.

"You're coming with me."

"What?"

"You heard me. I might need you."

So, Bonnie magically restrained the witch and brought her back to the motel. The others were a bit surprised, but she explained everything to them, and they all agreed they should head back to Mystic Falls, they had more resources and fire power there.

When they got back there Stefan took Bonnie home.

"Are you sure we can trust her Bonnie?" Stefan asked her as they stood facing each other on her porch.

"We can't. But we need her."

Suddenly the two were very close. God, what was wrong with her?

"Stefan I..."

She didn't know what to tell him, so she placed her hand on his face and stepped closer to him. She looked into his eyes. "I care about you," she whispered, but she knew he heard her.

"Bonnie..." he almost growled.

And then he was swooping down to kiss her. She eagerly kissed him back, not even bothering to fight anymore. He buried his hands in her hair and she grasped his shirt, pulling him closer. When he pulled away, he looked back into her eyes. "So, does this mean you'll be my girlfriend then?"

"Mr. Salvatore, I believe you have found yourself a girlfriend."

He smiled at her then gently kissed her again. And she found herself asking herself why she had fought her feelings.
