Chapter 1 Lost

She walked through the aisles of graves making her way towards her mother's tombstone. She turned her head to the right to the sound of a tree branch cracking, no one was there. Her eyes scanned the area quickly. She shook her head making her long crimson curls wave wildly around her face, she took a couple more steps forward reaching her destination. She stood there silently for a movement before kneeing down to lay the calalilies on her mother's grave. She let her fingers lightly trace her mother's name for a second then let her hand fall into her lap. She stared at the flowers next to the ones she just set down. Letting out a frustrated sigh she stood. A twig snapped to her right. She spun around to see who the imposer was to find a dark tan-skinned man staring at her. His lips drew back in a grin.

"Figured you would be here, you know if I wanted to kill you how easy you make it?" he smirked

"Nice to see you too Tyler, you know you sound like a creep following me around right?" She countered.

"Just doing my job Bonnie, your father wants you home, says he's got something to tell you."

She turned around staring down at her mother's grave fighting the emptiness she felt inside she forced herself to walk away. She pushed past a thoughtful looking Tyler.

"You're driving." She stated walking back to the road.

Bonnie walked into the manor to see her father holding some woman's hand. She watched as he brushed a strand of hair out of her eyes making the woman beam.

"What the hell" bonnie whispered to herself. She walked down the hall to the open doors of the living room. Her father's eyes and the woman's immediately spotted bonnie as they stepped back from one another.

"Oh bon, good you're here there is someone I would like you to meet." Her father smiled motioning to the woman standing next to him.

"Hello I'm Maria I've heard so much about you, your father speaks of you all the time." She blushed nervously. Bonnie's narrowed her eyes at the Latin woman taking in her closeness to her father. She let out a breath and forced a smile.

"Hey I'm bonnie….and I've never heard anything about you." She whispered meeting her father's eyes.

" I'm sorry he didn't know how to tell you we've been seeing each other for a while he just wanted to wait until it was serious to tell you." she tried to defend.

Bonnie held back a snort as she took in her father's sheepish look. "Good" she thought "he should feel bad what happened to no secrets in this family?"

"it's okay I'm actually going to head up to bed not feeling to well see you in the morning dad …..and nice to meet you Maria." She waved walking out of the room. She headed up the stairs to her room. When she walked in she flopped onto the bed and stared up at the ceiling. She couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right with Maria. She didn't know what it was "maybe I'm just overreacting" she thought. She sighed closing her eyes for a few minutes only to fall asleep.

When she woke in the morning she practically jumped outta bed.

"Dammit how did I fall asleep last night, I'm going to be so late for school." She mumbled to herself while rushing to get dressed. She threw on a pair of black short shorts and a white tank top not having time for a shower, she ran out of her room trying to putting her black and white high top converse on. She ran downstairs to her car and threw her bag into the passenger seat. Jumping into the driver seat she started the car and took off like a bat outta hell.

Arriving at school just as the bell rang she ran to her class. Bursting into the class all eyes were on her she blushed trying to catch her breath.

"Nice of you to come Ms. Bennet, it's only what the first day of school… take a seat please quietly." Mr. Tanner said with an edge of irritation.

She nodded and took her seat next to Elena Gilbert one of her best friends. She had long dark brown hair that was the kind of straight girls killed for. She had a models body, tall and curvy, but at the same time slender with ivory skin and deep brown eyes. She was the envy of every girl in school.

"I tried to call you last night. How come you didn't pick up?" Elena whispered.

"I feel asleep." bonnie answered not meeting Elena's eyes. Elena noticed Bonnies lack of response.

"How are you holding up?" Elena asked concern lacing her voice.

Bonnie looked up at Elena, a little taken back by the question.

"I'm fine" she smiled but it didn't touch her eyes.

Elena decided to let it go figuring she wasn't ready to talk yet but she would have to eventually.

The bell rang and bonnie gathered her stuff to leave Elena caught up with her down the hall.

"What the hell bonnie? I've been calling your name since you left class how come you didn't turn around?"

"Sorry I was spaced out, guess I didn't hear it." She replied opening her locker, she turned her gaze to see her friends worried expression.

"bon-"

"Don't okay, just don't" She said holding a hand up to Elena. She turned her head to see a Boy with wavy brown hair coming towards them. He had a nice slender body but you could see the muscles through his shirt. He was tall and pale. Bonnie was not oblivious to the fact he was handsome.

"Who is that?" Bonnie motioned to the boy. Elena turned to see who she was referring only to be met with forest green eyes. Elena grabbed the boy's hand and turned to bonnie.

"Bonnie I would like you to meet Stefan Salvatore my boyfriend." She beamed.

Bonnie couldn't help but smile at Elena's gleeful expression.

"Nice to meet you Bonnie…" Stefan smiled and reached out his hand for her to shake. She took it and ripped it away two seconds later. She was too wrapped up in her thoughts to notice Elena's shocked expression. What was that? She felt so cold and scared when she touched him and now it was gone, she looked up to meet their eyes.

"Sorry" she said backing away "I'm not feeling that good." She finished turning to leave.

Elena and Stefan were left confused watching Bonnies retreating form.

After school was finished Bonnie walked out to the parking lot to head home. When she got to her car the door was slammed shut by non-other than Caroline Forbes, Bonnie's other best friend, She was a tall petite blonde with blue green eyes and pale skin with pink flushed cheeks. Standing next to Caroline was Elena.

"Not so fast bonnie!" Caroline exclaimed

"Bon you've been acting weird all day today, what's going on with you?" Elena pleaded her voice full of concern from earlier that day.

Bonnie looked down at the ground. She didn't know what to tell her friends, no matter how she explained it they wouldn't understand. She wasn't the same girl she was before summer when she left. Hell who was she kidding she hadn't been that girl since her mother died and unexplainable things started happening around her. How could they understand what she was going through? Bonnie looked at her friends with love but this was something she couldn't share with them.

"Look guys I know you're worried about me, but I think this is something I have to figure out on my own okay?" she confessed with a genuine smile. Both girls nodded in agreement.

"Fine than, but you our coming with us to the boardinghouse." Caroline demanded stomping her foot, like a five year old. Bonnie stifled a giggle at her friend's reaction.

"What's the boardinghouse?" Bonnie asked wide eye. This time Elena spoke up.

"It's where Stefan lives."

"Umm I don't know guys I reall-"

"Nope" Caroline said grabbing Bonnie's arm and towed her towards the passenger seat of her own car. "You're coming with us no but's about it." She finished. Bonnie gave in. "Sounds like fun" she thought sarcastically to herself.
