AN: This was supposed to be quick and dirty one shot, but is turning out to be lots of little chapters. Oh well, what can you do right? Hope you guys enjoy it.

Bonnie's eyes snapped open as she heard a sharp knock on her front door. She turned her head in the pillow to look wearily at her watch. Bonnie groaned when she realized it was 3 am in the morning which could only mean bad news were waiting on her threshold. Jamie had gone back home so she was alone in her grandmother's house, she should really ignore the door… but that simply wasn't her, she had to know.

'Coming' – Bonnie shouted.

Her throat was dry from sleep, her body tense as she walked to the front door fastening her robe. She took a deep breath to still her nerves. She was a witch after all and she could handle what was on the other side of the door, right?

When Bonnie opened the door she wasn't so sure of herself anymore. Her jaw unhinged as she took in the man in front of her. She breathed his name in a mix of fear and reverence.

"Elijah"

"Miss Bennet" – the original replied with a curt nod –"Would you do me the honor of inviting me in?"

"Now why would I do that?" – Bonnie snapped back, crossing her arms around her chest and jutting her chin out.

The original smirked without humor, privy to some private joke Bonnie had no clue about.

"To be polite perhaps?"

Bonnie snorted.

"You mean to be stupid right?" – she hissed not knowing exactly why she was so angry.

Elijah sighed.

"I thought you might feel that way Miss Bennet. So I brought an incentive." – with that he reached to the side and yanked an unconscious Jeremy into view.

Bonnie's eyes burnt with anger, her jaw clenched and her hands ballet into fists at her side. Through her gritted teeth she addresses Elijah:

"Elijah, would you like to come in?"

"Much better." - the original said smiling as he walked passed her to lay Jeremy carefully on the couch.

"What do you want?" – Bonnie asked angrily as soon as she closed the door.

"Some tea perhaps and, hopefully some clarity?"

"Tea? Are you serious?" – Bonnie looked at him like he was a mad man.

"Quite."

Bonnie let out a huff and threw her hands in the air as she made her way to the kitchen and turned the kettle on. Elijah followed her and sat casually on the kitchen table.

Ten minutes later, tea had been reluctantly served by Bonnie and thoroughly enjoyed by Elijah as he sipped it quietly. Bonnie's nerves were on edge as she waited for him to explain his presence in her house at such an ungodly hour. The vampire however was dead set on taking his sweet time, so finally she asked.

"What do you want Elijah?"

"I told you, clarity Miss Bennet." – he smiled enigmatically at her.

"Can you be a little more specific?" – Bonnie asked exasperated.

"I could." – he answered and took another sip –"But I hate repeating myself, so I rather wait for everyone to get here first."

Bonnie raised an eyebrow.

"Everyone?"

"Right."

Bonnie was on the verge of screaming or slapping Elijah when she heard another knock on the door. Elijah made to get up but Bonnie turned to him in a sarcastic tone.

"Oh please, why don't you continue to make yourself at home and let me get the door?"

"As you wish Miss Bennet." – he smiled condescendingly back at her.

I know it's a short chapter, but it had to be done like this i think. R&R please
