Prologue
It seemed like tonight of all nights, thinking about one's absentee father was not such a good idea.
Bonnie never thought that at this moment in her life, she would want to recall all of the seemingly ridiculous sayings of her father. It is not that her father's philosophy is particularly vapid, but Bonnie would like to believe that she had common sense.
Against her better judgment she was driving. She was driving while she was angry and she could have sworn that her father had made some comment about doing such a thing. "Never drive while angry. Never drive while the weather was bad."
Bonnie was doing both and somewhere an angel was crying.
Normally, under the usual circumstances, Bonnie would not be driving so quickly, so erratically. But Elena was in danger.
Someone somewhere was always in danger and it always seemed to fall on her shoulders to do something about it. Sure, Caroline was a big help. The Salvatore brothers were willing to die many times over to save Elena, but none of them could do what Bonnie could do. However feeble her powers were at the moment, Bonnie would come through with something helpful.
This was why against her better judgment she was driving angry: angry at Elena for being trouble-prone; angry at herself for not being strong enough all the time; angry at the Salvatores for coming to town and taking away her childlike innocence; angry at the whole damn town, really.
The rain, which was only a drizzle when Bonnie entered her car, picked up and dropped liked wet, heavy sheets along her car.
Bonnie could not see very well. The windshield wipers weren't quick enough to catch all of that water.
Suddenly, Bonnie saw something very quick and very small scurry across the road. If Bonnie could help it, she did not want to hit the living creature.
Bonnie swerved, driving off the road.
The movement was too violent for her little car, and the weather-proofed tires did not live up to its expensiveness.
As Bonnie hurled into an old oak tree her single most pervasive thought was, "This cannot be happening."
Bonnie froze; she couldn't react, she couldn't stop the collision using her bare hands and she couldn't stop the collision using her magic.
Damon Salvatore always said she was incompetent.
