Love at first bite
Bad dreams
I was in the forest near the old church ruins I use to play near as a child with my best friends Caroline and Elena. Grams had warned us about this place saying it was an evil place but we ignored her. I was still dressed in my Hello Kitty Pajama's. Goosebumps arose on my skin.
The sound of feet stepping on dry leaves caught my attention.
"Hello...anyone there?" I called. No answer.
The sun hid behind the clouds in the grey sky. I felt as though I was being watched by someone or something.
"Bonnie" someone whispered into my ear. Their breath was warm against my voice sent chills up my spin. I gasped and whirled around. Nothing. No one was there.
My heart was beating rapidly. I took deep, shallow breaths.
Calm down Bonnie, I thought.
"Hello, Bonnie" said a voice. I looked to my left and gasped. It was a man, he had blood smeared on his lips. His blue eyes seemed to stare into my soul. I cried in horror and took off away from him.
Making my legs run as fast as I could like I was running track.
I panted as I ran away, jumping over roots and rocks, I made my way to a clearing. It was empty. There was no noise only the sound of my own breathing.
"Boo" said the man. He was perched in a tree. His face was beautiful and dangerous.
"What do you want?" I asked. The man smirked and was suddenly in front of me, caressing my face with his pale hands.
"You" he whispered into my ear. I stared at him in terror.
He smiled widely, exposing his sharp white teeth.
Vampire, was the thought that crossed through my mind. I screamed as he made a lunge for my neck, ripping through my flesh.
I awoke, startled. Sweat was beaded on my forehead, my eyes were wide with terror. I became aware of my alarm clock going off. I banged it with my fist to turn it off.
It was just a dream, I told myself. I had been getting a lot of those lately.
"Bonnie, hurry up- your going to miss your bus!" yelled my father from downstairs. I groaned and got out of bed. I quickly put on a long green singlet, black skinny jeans, black pumps and a put on a gold necklace.
Brushing my curly, brown hair I noticed a large crow in the tree beside my window.
It was staring at me with it's head tilted to the side. It scraped it's foot against the branch and pecked out my window with it's beak. I frowned, what has it been eating? I placed the brush on the table and pushed the windows open.
"Shoo, get out of here" I said waving a hand out it. The crow squaked loudly, sending all the other small birds in the tree flying away.
I tried again but the crow didn't budge, it just sat there, silent and motionless.
"Bonnie hurry up!" called my dad again. I sighed and picked up my bag, throwing in my books. I looked up at the crow one last time over my shoulder and walked downstairs.
"Did you see it?" I asked my father as I walked into the kitchen. He was wearing a grey buisness suit. I opened the fridge and pulled out an apple.
"See what?" he asked as his eyes focused on the lap top in front of him.
"That crow, it was massive" I explained, taking a bite of my apple. My dad sipped on his coffee.
"No I didn't. I won't be back til 12 tonight, Logan want's me to cover this story for the news- some animal attacked a person last night in the woods near the ruins" my dad explained. Animal attack? That must be some big ass animal. Then my dream came rushing through my head. Last night I'd dreamt I was near the church ruins. I pushed the thought away.
"You mean that hot guy from the news?" I asked. My dad blinked and put the coffee back on the bench.
"I'm going to forget you said that but...yes. But remember don't go out side after dark and do not under any circumstances-" I cut him off. I knew what he was going to say.
"Invite anyone I don't know in the house. You've told me this thousands of times" I sighed. My family were descendents of witches from Salem who moved to Mystic Falls a long time ago. My Grandma was always telling me about them and making me practice spells.
"Good, you remember. There should be some KFC from dinner last night left over and I'll leave twenty dollars for dinner on the bench" he said.
"Oh that reminds me, I need you to sign this cheque so Caroline, Elena and I can buy the some materials for the Hautned party coming up this week" I said. My dad nodded. I zipped open my bag.
"Here," I began" hold my earrings, my books, my ipod, my pens, my wallet, my phone, my make up and my bracelets" I threw all the stuff at him and finally found the check. I handed it it to him, I quickly packed all my things back in my bag.
My dad wrote his signature on and the amount of money, $700.
"Thanks" I replied. Suddenly there was a loud honk from outside.
"Gotta go, love you" I said, kissing my dad on the cheek and running outside.
"Love you too" he called after me.
"Hey, Bonnie" said the bus driver, Tammi. Her curly orange hair was up in a ponie tail and her freckled skin seemed pale.
"Good morning, Tammi" I said, handing her the money for my bus ride. The bus took off down the street.
I took my seat next to the window, admiring the scenery The sky was grey and the sun hid behind the puffy clouds. The weather had been different for the past three days.
Get your money, whip ya hair
Executive branch blow my smoke like a player
Yeah in the club, yes it cracks
Cute little mama, but they stack with backs
I opened my bag and pulled out my phone. Caroline's number appeared on the screen.
"Hey, Care" I said.
"Bonnie, you have to get your ass here now" Caroline told me excited.
"What is it?" I asked.
"The new boy and he is smokin' hawt, you have to see him!" Caroline exclaimed through the phone. I chuckled.
"What's his name?" I asked.
"Stefan Salvatore, cute huh?" Caroline said.
"Very, have any of the girls attacked him yet?" I asked with a smile.
"Besides from me...no" she laughed. I rolled my eyes and looked out the window, the bus had pulled up in front of the school.
"The bus just got here Care, meet me at the car park" I told her.
"Okay, bye Bonnie" she said and hung up. I put my bag over my shoulder and got off the bus.
"Bye Tammi" I called earning a honk in return. I smiled and walked to the car park.
I could see a pretty blond bouncing up and down. It should wear off in a few weeks, I told myself remembering last time a new boy came to school.
"Yes, you finally here!" Caroline squealed as she tucked her phone back into her pocket. She hugged me then pulled back.
"So, where is this Mystery man?" I asked. Caroline was still excited.
"Over there" she said, pointing to a man in a leather jacket.
"That's a hot back" I smirked. Out of no where Elena walked up to him. Caroline's jaw fell. I sighed, not this again.
There's always been competitions between these two. Caroline tries and tries to get them to notice her but sadly things don't go her way. Don't get me wrong, I love Elena but sometime's theres times where she can piss me off. But she does kinda deserve someone, ever since her parents died she's been different. She use to be on the cheer squad but know she's changed. More mature.
I looked over at Caroline.
"Hey, don't worry about it" I told Caroline, trying to lighten the mood.
"Why? Why does she always get the good ones?" Caroline asked me. I smiled faintly.
"It's okay, there's plenty of guys who would love to be with you" I said, pointing over to Tyler Lockwood who was looking at Caroline and licking his lips.
"Ew, I'm not that upset" she said, causing me to laugh. The bell rang.
"Comon, let's get to class" I said.
"Mr Salvatore you late" said Mr Tanner. I looked up from my phone. There he stood. Stefan Salvatore. He was dressed in dark jeans, a white t-shirt and leather jacket, sun glasses hid his eyes, he was hot. He had that bad boy style look.
"Sorry Mr Tanner" Stefan said.
"Sit" Mr Tanner said. My breath caught in my throat when I watched him sit next to me. He looked over at me and gave me a soft smile. I smiled back and pulled out my phone to text Caroline.
Hottie sitting right next to me! ~ Bonnie.
I pressed send and waited for her response.
You lucky bitch, oh well I've been..."occupied"- I forgot about him. Has he looked at you? ~ Caroline.
I smiled at her message, didn't take her long did it?
Yes, he smiled at me. You were right- he is sexy ;) ~ Bonnie
I'm always right~ Caroline.
I looked up and saw Elena staring at Stefan, her ex, Matt, was glaring at him.
"No texting in class, Bonnie" Mr Tanner said. I rolled my eyes.
Sorry, Care. Gotta go before Mr Tanner has a spaz~ Bonnie
I clicked send and turned my phone off. Mr Tanner was writing on the board.
"Okay class, you've got an assignment that's due next Wednesday, you will be paired with a partner" My Tanner told us as he handed out sheets of paper.
Mr Tanners voice rang through the small class room, I turned the sheet over and began to read.
Mysteries of Mystic Falls
For centuries Mystic Falls has had people mysteriously die and disappear. People were curious about all the deaths was it a pyshopath, a disease or "The beasts of the night"?
Rumours ran through the town that the "Beasts of the night" were blood drinkers that would come out in night and take the lives of innocent civilians, draining them of blood.
Some believe they even had the power to compel humans. In order to keep the town safe they found a plant called "Vervain" to keep the Beasts away (also referred to as Vampires).
I stopped reading, this was already freaking me out. I pushed the paper to the side and sighed.
"Elena and Sarah you two are partners, Bonnie and Stefan you two can work together- maybe you can teach her" Mr Tanner told everyone. I turned to Stefan.
"So, have you heard of these "Beasts of the night"?" I asked him, laughing at the end. Stefan smiled bitterly.
"Yeah, my father told me stories of them when I was young" he replied.
"You use to live here?"I asked.
"For quite a while" he told me. Tyler brushed pass my desk causing my books fell to the ground. I bent down to pick them up but Stefan had already picked them up.
"Thanks" I smiled as I took my books. When my hand came in contact with him I felt this horrible feeling rush through my body. One I'd never felt before. I pulled back, my eyes wide.
"Are you okay?" he asked me. I sat there frozen. What had just happened? I nodded my head quickly.
"Yeah...um fine. I-I have to go" I said picking up my books and leaving the class. I had to get out of here.
I was sitting in the lounge room watching The big bang theory when I heard knocking on the door. I paused the tv and got up to answer the door. I looked at the clock, it was only 5:30 and the sky was already dark.
I opened the door to reveal two very annoyed girls.
"Bonnie, where the hell were you?" asked Elena, her hand on her hip.
"I had to go home, I wasn't feeling well" I explained. Yeah right. Elena raised her eyebrow not believing me.
"Whatever. We came over to work on the Haunted house, I've already down the foods and drinks" Elena said, a purple folder was tucked under her arm.
"Sure, come inside" I said and opened the door wider. The two girls walk inside and place their coats on the rack.
Then I see it. Sitting on the railing of the porch is the crow from this morning. The crow watches me with hunger. Why do it's eyes look familiar? It's black feathers were slightly ruffled.
"Bonnie, you coming?" asked Caroline, nudging my arm. I was pulled out of the trance and look over at her.
"Yeah...sure" I say slowly, closing the door on the crow.
Elena was sitting on the carpet writing in her notepad. Papers and books were scattered on the floor.
"So, what are you going as?" I asked Caroline, trying to clear my thoughts of the crow.
"I was thinking of going as the goddess Aphrodite" Caroline shrugged, biting the end of her pen.
"I'm going as a vampire, what about you?" she asked me.
"I was thinking of going as a witch" I told the two girls. Outside it was raining, I could hear loud thunder not far away.
"Perfect, so it's all planned. All we need now is materials for the Haunted house, maybe we could get some tomb stones to make it seem as though were in a grave yard" suggested Caroline. There was a loud bang, the three of us screamed.
"It's just the thunder" I said, convincing myself. They went back to talking.
"Or better yet, maybe we could have the party at the old Church ruins" Elena said with a mishevous smile. The mention of the church ruins sent chills through my body.
"Elena, I don't think that's a good idea, my dad said there was an animal attack there last night" I told her.
"And that makes it even more spookier" Caroline replied, siding with Elena for the first time.
"Fine" I sighed, the two girls squealed.
"So now that we've got the venu3 sorted we should start on th-" Caroline was cut off when the lights went out.
Elena let out a small scream. I rolled my eyes and fumbled for my phone in my pocket to use as a light.
"It's probably just a glitch, I'll go check it out" I said and opened a draw, pulling out a flash light.
I walked through the darkened house down to the den. I could hear Elena and Caroline's whispers from the living room.
Opening the den door, it let out a creak. I reluctantly walked down the stairs to the power box.
Being down here scared me, I should have bought someone with me I thought. Opening the power box, I fiddled with the switches. Almost there.
Suddenly I was pushed against the brick wall. I let out a scream as my back made contact with the cold, hard wall. I dropped the flash light to the floor but was able to see what had pushed me. It was him. The man I'd seen in my dreams. His blue orbs focused on me. A sharp gasp escaped my lips as I looked at him. His face was pale and veins appeared under his now blood read eyes.
"Hello, cara" he whispered to me, stroking the side of my face with a pale finger. I was shaking. I couldn't find the strength in me to scream. I was frozen. His body blocked me from escaping. The man's clothes were touching mine, our chest's almost on the same level.
"W-who are you?" I managed to get out. The question must of amused him because he let out a short chuckle.
"A vampire" he smirked, showing me his pointy fangs. I let out a scream and pushed him away with all my strength. I ran up stairs but felt him pull me back my the ankle. I fell on the stairs, hurting my ass. Blood ran down my forehead. Tears ran down my cheeks.
He crouched over me and wiped the blood away with his index finger and licked it. His gaze fixed on me in hunger and lust.
This is it Bonnie, your going to die.
"Bonnie?" called a voice. Elena. The man looked up and scowled.
"I'll see you later, cara" he told me and disappeared. Suddenly the power came back on. Elena gasped and ran over to me.
"Oh my god, what happened?" she panicked, pushing my blood stained hair out of the way. She wouldn't believe me if I told her what had happened.
"I...tripped over" I told her. Elena frowned and helped me up.
"Come, let's get you cleaned up" she said.
...
I was staying over Caroline's house. We were watching The Notebook but my attention wasn't focused on that. I had other things to think of.
"I'll see you later, cara" were the words the man had said to me.
Okay then, so thanks for reading and...please review!
