Sidenote - The Bennett Family Tree on the TVD Wikia is incomplete as fuck but my sister and I created our own. On the wikia, everyone is listed as a distant cousin but at some point, someone is just your damn cousin. So, some of the names have been reused as family names and some of the people they have as dead we raised them and added them.

The afternoon after the family breakfast in the Salvatore kitchen, Damon Salvatore found Bonnie Bennett sitting on the floor of her bedroom, leaning against her bed, Shelia's letter in her hands.
"You alright?" he asked joining her.
"Here," she said, handing him the letter. Damon read it then looked at her wide eyed. "So, you're starting a coven?"
"What are you a pamphlet now?" Bonnie grinned. "Anyway, I guess I should. I'm the leader of the coven. What the hell is that?"
"It's awesome," Damon smiled. "So what do you have to do to get started.
"There's a spell in this," she said, pulling a grimoire into her lap. "It's Emily's," she told him, seeing the interest on his face. "There is a whole section in here on my ancestors from Salem."
"Ok, what can I help you with?"
"Finding out a way to get in contact with...well whatever Bennetts there are."
"I wouldn't know where to begin," Damon told her.
"Yeah me either," she grimaced.
"Bonnie!" they heard someone yell downstairs.
"Is that..." Damon began.
"Bonnie!" the voiced called again.
"Abby," Bonnie said as they got off the floor. She led Damon from the room and marched down the stairs.
"What the hell is going on?" Abby Bennett-Wilson asked, her eyes wide, voice frantic.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Bonnie said.
"Other than the fact that you came downstairs with him, I felt something yesterday," her mother told her.
"Um, ok," Bonnie said slowly.
"It was magic Bonnie," she told her. "So, tell me. What the hell is going on because I haven't felt an ounce of magic since I was turned."
"Do you still feel it?" her daughter questioned.
"Yes. It's like a pulse," Abby informed her. "But that's not telling me why I can feel it, Bonnie. What is going on?"
"Damon, will you go get that letter please?" Bonnie asked turning to him. He nodded and was gone. He was back handing Abby the letter from Shelia just as quickly as he had left. Abby read it then looked into Bonnie's eyes.
"You have it?" she asked.
"I do," Bonnie smiled, tears forming. Abby grabbed Bonnie's hand as tears began to form in her eyes as well. "I know that this is dangerous. I know but I don't feel out of control. This is the most in control I've ever felt."
"That's good. It must be strong if I felt it," Abby said.
"What is that about?" Damon chimed in, breaking the rare mother/daughter moment. "How did you feel it?"
"I don't know," Abby said, cutting her eyes at him. "I was in the kitchen when suddenly I felt this...this jolt. It just hit me and then it started to pulsate. Like a beacon. I just knew that I had to come here. Has Lucy called you?"
"No," Bonnie said. "Why would she?" Abby furrowed her brow as Bonnie led her and Damon into the living room. As the three of them sat down there was a knock on the door. Damon got up and went to the door.
"Lucy," he said, opening the door.
"Damon," the beautiful Lucy Bennett said. "I'm assuming Bonnie's here."
"You'd be right," Damon said, not moving from in front of the door. Suddenly, he gripped the door and his knees buckled. "Lucy, stop," he groaned.
"It's not..." Lucy began. "Aunt Pauline, stop it."
"Well, tell that boy to let us in. I can't be standing on the porch all day," an elderly woman behind Lucy said.
"Damon, this is my mother, Joanna and my Aunt Pauline," she introduced him to the two women who stood there with her.
"Ladies," he said behind gritted teeth as he stepped aside.
"Well, you ain't what I expected but you sure are handsome," Pauline said as she pushed her walker passed him. "Sorry about your noggin' but I need to sit down."
"Right," Damon said closing the door.
"Pardon my daughter and my sister," the other woman said. "I'm Joanna Bennett," she said holding her hand out to him. He took it wearily, half expecting to be zapped. "It's nice to finally meet the protector of our line,' Joanna smiled.
"It was my pleasure," Damon said smiling back. Before Damon could walk away from the door there was another knock. He pulled the door open to find two people he didn't recognize. "Can I help you?"
"We're looking for...well we're not sure. We just had to come," the woman said. "I'm Mary Bennett and this is my daughter, Arissa."
"I'm Damon Salvatore. Come in and go straight back." Mary smiled at him as she crossed the threshold. Arissa glared at him as she passed. Damon rolled his eyes just as he was about to shut the door, someone's hand was there stopping it.
"Wait!" a voice said. Damon pulled the door open and two more women were standing there. "Hi!"
"Hey," he said.
"I'm Selena Bennett and this is my younger sister Mariah," the pretty girl said. "We're a day apart,"
"She was born at 11:58pm, I was born at 12:01am," Mariah said, playfully rolling her eyes. "It's so not a day."
"Anyway, there is something strange going on and we just had to get here," Selena said. "So..."
"Can we come in?" they asked together.
"Sure. I'm Damon. Just head straight back," he said amused by the twins. Damon looked down the hallway at all of the Bennett women conversing. He had never seen Bonnie so alive. Her smile reached her eyes and warmed his cold heart. He smiled to himself. He loved her and her happiness was all that mattered to him. When he once again began his trek back to the living room there was a knock on the door. This time there were two more women standing there. One elderly and the other only a little younger than Bonnie.
"I'm Amelia Bennett," the older woman said. "This is Emily Bennett."
"I'm Damon Salvatore," Damon said with a smile. The elderly woman's eyes lite up and a smile stretched across her face. "Come on in and head straight down the hallway." They both nodded and entered the house. Damon closed the door and waited a few more minutes. When there wasn't another knock he joined the Bennett women.
"Where's Zavrina?" Emily asked as she helped Amelia sit down.
"Who is that?" Bonnie asked.
"Another one of your thousands of cousins," Joanna joked.
"I'm sure she'll be here soon," Bonnie reassured everyone. She stood up in front of the group and cleared her throat.
"So, I'm Bonnie Bennett. I'm Shelia's granddaughter and Abby's daughter," she said pointing to her mother. "I recently, like yesterday, acquired the Bennett magic from the Gemini Coven. They had been guarding it for centuries. But they abused that fact so, here we are."
"So? Why are we here?" Arissa questioned, irritated, her arms folded across her chest.
"I don't really want to get into that until Zavrina gets here," Bonnie said sternly. "Abby, there is a...gift I want to give you but there's some stuff I need to get first." Abby nodded and the group began to talk amongst themselves. "Damon, can you get everyone back here? I think it's probably best that I introduce the whole gang first."
"Couldn't hurt," he said with a quick kiss to her lips before stepping out of the room, phone in hand.
A little while later, the Mystic Falls Gang filtered back into the boarding house. Both groups looked at each other confused.
"Ok, so family, these are my friends," Bonnie said. "It's important that you know each other. Ok, so this is Damon and Stefan Salvatore," she said pointing to the brothers. "They're vampires." Bonnie tired to read the looks on her family's faces but only Arissa let on to how she felt. "These are my best friends, Caroline Forbes, Elena Gilbert and Trace Sinclair. Also vampires," she introduced. "That's Enzo; a vampire. This is Tyler Lockwood; he's a hybrid and this is girlfriend Liv Parker and her twin brother Luke. They're witches," Bonnie said. Selena and Mariah beamed at each other. "This is Jeremy Gilbert, Elena's littler brother and one of The Five. And this is Matt Donovan, Alaric Saltzman and Dr. Jo Laughlin."
"Our resident humans," Damon commented with a smirk.
"Right. Guys these are the Bennett witches," Bonnie said. Each witch took a moment to introduce themselves to the Mystic Falls Gang.
"It's nice to meet you," Stefan smiled. "Welcome to our home."
"Ok. These guys are my family too. I want everyone to know what's going on," Bonnie said, her eyes roving the entire group. Arissa rolled her eyes and Bonnie continued. "I'm going to reform the Bennett Coven," she announced. Everyone was all smiles as she laid an open grimoire in front of her.
"Why does it get to be you?" Arissa spat. "I'm the most powerful witch here," she said as Elena fell to her knees clutching her head. Arissa smirked at her handiwork.
"Stop it!" Bonnie yelled. Arissa's concentration broke as she looked at Bonnie. Bonnie closed her eyes and the fire in the fireplace swelled, the flames of the candles on the table flickered furiously, all the doors began to slam open and shut, everything that wasn't nailed down began to float and Damon, Stefan, Caroline, Elena, Trace, Enzo, Abby and Tyler all hit their knees in agony. "You're not the most powerful witch here. Get over yourself," Bonnie said opening her eyes and making eye contact with the teenage girl, who was shocked to say the least at the power that Bonnie had. "But like I was saying," Bonnie said as suddenly everything just stopped and the vampires and Tyler found relief. "first, I want to give Abby her gift. Stefan, Elena come here." The duo did as they were told and approached her. She cut each of their wrists and held them over a chalice.
"It's great that magic is being done in something that belonged to Giuseppe," Stefan laughed as she she cut them again, once their wounds healed. Once she had all she needed Bonnie closed her eye. "Undo maledictionem. Restitue sanguinem Doppelganger," Bonnie chanted, hands outstretched over the chalice. The blood inside bubbled. "Abby, drink this," she said handing her the goblet. Abby did as she was told as Bonnie began to chant, "Saplaey Aten Cravi Carmossi Estra Nozholi Gesena Zatavit (Aten Cravi Carmossi)."
Abby dropped the cup and looked at Bonnie surprised before falling to the ground. Damon and Stefan picked her up and laid her on the couch emptied by Selena, Mariah and Lucy.
"What's going on?" Caroline asked. Bonnie didn't answer. She just sat on the floor beside her mother waiting. After about an hour, she noticed the color returning to Abby's cheeks. She grabbed her ever warming hands. Suddenly her eyes snapped open and she let out a huge gasp.
"How do you feel?" Pauline asked from the other couch. Abby ignored her for a moment as she got up and grabbed the grimoire. She read the words on the page carefully. Abby looked up at Bonnie and beamed.
"I feel magical," Abby said finally.
"How is that possible?" Arissa spoke up. "We all know you're a vampire. We can feel it."
"Arissa, shut up," Mary reprimanded. "I don't feel that coming from Abby anymore."
"That's because I'm human," Abby explained.
"The Travellers had a spell for this," Bonnie informed them. "It was in Qetsiyah's grimoire; which I already had in my possession."
"How'd you come across that?" Amelia asked as Abby handed her the ancient book.
"Um," Bonnie said making eye contact with Stefan and Elena. "Long story short, I died, Qetsiyah brought me back by making me the Anchor to The Other Side and she was the first person to crossover after my status changed," she told them. "She left the grimoire behind."
"This is," Selena started.
"Awesome," Mariah finished.
"When are we going to form the coven?" they asked at the same time.
"Where is Zavrina?" Emily asked again.
"I don't know," Amelia answered. "Call her daddy." Emily nodded and pulled out her phone.
"Hello?" the man's voice said.
"Uncle Robert, it's Emily," she said.
"Hey, Z's on her way to Mystic Falls. She said something about needing to be there. Actually she should be there already," he informed her.
"What?" Emily asked shocked.
"What's going on, Em?" Robert asked, concern seeping into his voice.
"Nothing, I'm sure she just got lost. All the roads here look the same," she tried to recover. "I'll call you later," she said before abruptly ending the call. "Her dad said she should be here by now."
"Then where is she?" Bonnie asked, her brow furrowed. Before anyone could say anything, Bonnie's phone rang. The number was unknown.
"Hello?" she answered.
"We have the young Bennett witch. This time we want what's ours. Give it to us and we will return her save and sound," the voice on the other end said before Bonnie heard the click.
She looked to Damon for answers. He had none but he put his arm around her.
"What'd they say?" Lucy questioned.
"They have Zavrina and as long as I give them what they want, they'll return her safe," Bonnie repeated.
"Who was it?" Mary asked.
"I'm not sure, but I think it was the Gemini Coven," she said. Damon eyes were instantly on Luke and Liv. "They want the power back."
"Well, they can't have it," Joanna said strongly.
"And they damn sure can't have Zavrina," Pauline said sternly.
"We have to find her," Bonnie said. "Now."
