Remember Me

Chapter 2

Bonnie quirked her brow, as she unlocked the front door “Elena?” she asked curiously as the doppelganger offered her a forced smile.

“Hey bonnie can I come in?” the witch eyed her suspiciously, before checking her phone for the time the numbers 3:05 stared at her in bold “Elena it’s 3:05 in the morning” bonnie mumbled her voice slightly muffled from sleep. Before letting out a small yawn “yeah I know it’s really early but I need to ask you something” that woke bonnie up she quirked her brow, eyeing the teen once again for a moment before stepping to the side and widening the entrance into the home a silent invitation to come inside.

Elena took it without a second of hesitation, there was almost a slight breeze as she quickly entered the quick movement momentarily making the witch’s head spin, before she closed the door and locked it “so what is it you wanted to ask me?” Bonnie asked her tone and words no longer slurred “is there a spell or something that can make you forget things? You know like people or events?” well…I didn’t see that coming Bonnie quirked her brow although she knew Elena her entire lifetime she couldn’t fight the suspicion that clawed at her insides.

The question was strange even for her, and why ask for something like that in the first place? Did she and Stefan get into some kind of argument and she wanted to forget about it? “Perhaps” Bonnie replied after what felt like an eternity. That familiar feeling slowly increase making its presence well known, “why do you ask??” shit the word echoed in Elena’s mind while she kept her face scolded and calm trying to not convey her growing panic, c’mon think of something Gilbert! “Jeremy and I…” Elena began the lie easily flowing out of her mouth “Jeremy and I had a fight a big one and I want to forget about it” Bonnie quirked her brow.

She studied her friends face for a moment, trying to spot a glimpse of a sign of a lie on her face before letting out a sigh, and moved toward the bookshelf in the living room “there is a potion that allows for that kind of effect” Bonnie spoke her fingers quickly moving over the endless spines of old dusty grimores, before stopping gently she pulled out an ancient red and black manuscript the tome looking as if it we’re seconds away from falling apart. “The potion erases the memory and feelings that we’re created by a person or an event but it takes a while to make” Elena cocked her head “how long does it take?” she asked curiously internally hoping it wouldn’t take too long.

“A few days a week at best” Bonnie answered, flipping the pages absentmindedly “don’t worry I’ll have it ready for you before I leave”, “you’re leaving?” that’s even better news “yeah a cousin of mine is having a wedding in Seattle and I promised her I would be there” by now Bonnie had stopped her page flipping her eyes traveled over the necessary ingredients and directions “so how long will you be gone?” she shrugged “two weeks maybe more” Elena fought the urge cry out in joy and click her heels letting out a soft cough to hide her smile she composed herself “well then I’ll leave you to it then again I’m sorry that I woke you” at her words Bonnie just shrugged sluggishly a sign that the time was beginning to affect her “it’s no problem Elena I’ll walk you out”.

Elena stone features slowly began to crumble as she walked toward her car. Everything was going according to plan.

The week went by a slow blur.

The time slowly making Damon more and more restless, he annoying found that as the days went by he began to crave Kol more and more, as if his very being couldn’t survive without the cheeky and unstable original by his side. With a exasperated sigh Damon collapsed face-first onto the soft mattress of his bed the impact causing his body to bounce, before on instinct he flipped onto his back turning his attention to the charging on his night stand his eyes shinning with a glint of sadness.
