Bring me Back

Chapter 14

Bonnie was now living with Rebekah because her Grams house had been sold. She was tired because the two had stayed up late talking. It was almost like the sleepovers she used to have with Elena and Caroline. They had talked about her relationship with Stefan and the kiss.

They were like little girls again. Blushing and squealing over the others crush.

But this morning was a bit different. Bonnie had found herself sipping a cup of hot coffee while Rebekah talked to her seriously. Really, she had never seen Rebekah have such a serious face on her, so she had immediately listened in to what she was saying despite the tiredness she was feeling.

"Something's off Bonnie."

"Nothing is going on with Kana Rebekah," she said calmly. "You just don't like her because she doesn't like me hanging out with you. I want my best friends to like each other."

Rebekah sighed.

"Bonnie, I've tried really hard to be her friend, but she just doesn't like me."

Bonnie sighed and took another sip of her coffee. "She'll warm up to you Rebekah, you just have to be patient."

Rebekah nodded but still looked down at her lap sadly. Bonnie placed her cup on the table and rose from her seat.

"I'm going to go for a walk, then I'm going to come back and check on our prisoner."

Ever since they had brought the witch named Aria from New Mexico she had been moody. Not that she could blame her, they did put her in Rebekahs cellar but still.

As she was walking down the sidewalk an arm was carelessly thrown around her shoulders.

She looked up surprised to see Stefan.

"Hey," she said with a bit of shock in her voice.

"Hey beautiful," he said giving her look of pure adoration. She blushed. "So, I was wondering if you wanted to get some lunch?"

"Right now?"

"If that's alright with you?"

She smiled and leaned up to place a chaste kiss on his lips. "I would love to."

That's how she found herself ordering a burger and fries at the Mystic Grill and Stefan ordered the same. He said that he could eat if he was on a healthy diet of blood. But he didn't often do it when he was at home.

"Okay my turn. What is the most embarrassing thing you've ever done?" Bonnie laughed.

Stefan chuckled. "One time at one of my dad's parties I got so drunk that I stood up and asked for the sheriff's wife for her hand in marriage and to come run off with me into the sunset. Let's just say father was mad and Damon had to drag me off before her husband killed me."

Bonnie laughed. "You didn't!"

"I did, and the worst part is she rejected me!" he said with a smile on his face. "Alright. What do you love most about singing? I mean you must love it quite a lot to want to pursue it as a career."

She thought for a moment. "I've never really thought about it to be honest. I mean it just gives me so much joy and a sense of being free. It allows me to express myself."

He nodded almost approvingly. "That makes sense."

He then walked her back to Rebekahs house and gave her a small kiss.

Now, it was time to go check on Aria. She walked down the basement stairs with a bit of food and water.

But as she walked to where she was supposed to be locked up, she felt a blow to her head. But whatever had hit her was not enough to knock her out, so she quickly sat up and turned to see Aria.

The witch had a rock in her hands that she had tried to use to knock Bonnie out. Aria dropped the rock and rose her hands instead. She didn't even give Bonnie time to react before she was chanting, and Bonnie's skull felt like it was splitting. Blood started to leak from her eyes, ears and nose. She was slowly lowering to the floor and her mouth was open in a silent scream as she covered her ears.

That was when something snapped in her. She felt power rush to every nerve ending and balck veins formed on her skin. It was if she could do anything. She stood up and sent a large burst of power from her body. It hit the surprised witch and sent her flying to the wall behind her. The power left her body as soon as it came. She covered her mouth with her hand again. She had let expression consume her again.

Soon, Rebekah was rushing down to the basement and getting the witch back to her cell and feeding her some of her blood.

Later Bonnie was curled up to Stefan's side, a blanket over her and a steaming cup of hot chocolate in her hands. Rebekah was on her other side, holding her hand.

The rest of the gang were sitting on various seats around them listening to Bonnie recount her story.

"I can't believe you Bonnie," Kana said with a disapproving glare. "You can't just lose control like that Bonnie. She could have been killed!"

Rebekah stood up beside her just as Caroline did on the other side of the room.

"She didn't mean to," Caroline defended.

"And why are you so worried about this witch?" Rebekah asked.

"It's not about the witch, it's about Bonnie! I taught her to control her expession but it looks like I didn't do it well enough!"

And with that Kana left the room.

Stefan kissed her head softly.

"It'll be okay, you'll see," he whispered.

She only hoped he was right.
