I woke up to the sound of my nasal alarm and groaned-I had to go to work. I pulled myself out of bed and walked into the kitchen, Merideth smiled at me as she made us both coffee. She was such a morning person, I on the other hand was not.
"Goodmorning" She greeted me with a giant smile.
"Hey" I mumbled
"Sleep good?" She asked
I nodded
Merideth and i had been flatting together in the Bennetts old house. They had sold it to us for less than their asking price they just wanted to leave, I couldnt blame them after what happened with Vickie.
Merideth had a job as a teacher for the kids at the local primary school in Fells Church. I worked at the town library, well I half owned it anyway.
"Oh did you hear about Elena and Stefan?" She asked happily.
"I hear a lot of things about them whats this one?" I asked sipping on my hot coffee.
"They've decided to have Damon as the best man and us as the bridesmades!" She bubbled.
"YAY!!" I was officially awake.
I jumped up and hugged Merideth then danced into Vickies old room which was mine now, and got changed. Me a bridesmade, it would be great! I can help with the wedding I'd mostly be seeing a lot of...I stoped my train of thought. Damon. Stefans older brother who was soon celebrating his 514th birthday, and he wouldnt let me forget it. He'd be helping with the wedding a lot, I wouldnt be able to hide behind Merideth she'd be marking 11 year olds homework.
I would be seeing a lot of Damon. Of course Damon was gorgeous but he was also dangerous and well I tried not to think of him as evil but he drinks human blood, while his brother only drinks the blood of animals, and he was so annoying.
For his birthday he wanted my blood, my blood!
He'd asked me for it a few times, he even suggested getting me drunk so i wouldnt feel it.
I had denied him every itme but those smouldering dark eyes got harder to resist each time I didnt know how I would cope if I didnt have vervain with me at all times.
"Bonnie?" Merideth tapped on my door.
I looked at myself in the mirror. I wasnt dressed yet I was standing in the middle of my room in a pink slip.
"Umm, just a second."I Called.
I grabbed clothes that I'd laid aside yesterday and threw it on.
Merideth was waiting outside my door.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"I can help with the invites-thats what Elena wants us to do- tuesday but not wednesday, sorry" She said.
"Its okay but if he tries to get my blood one more time, I'll kick his head off." I joked.
"His birthdays tomorrow eh?"She asked.
Merideth had picked up saying 'eh' ever since watching a program about 2 New Zealand guys in a band with their weird manager named Mary, I think was his name. It was pretty funny but I couldnt understand what they said half the time.
"Yep" I comfirmed.
"Maybe we should get him something, like a poster or a bird cage" She laughed.
I wouldnt mind locking him in there I thought to myself.
"Do you want a lift to the library or are you walking"
"I'll walk" It was only a two minuet walk.
"Okay dont forget to lock up" She said and flew out the door.
She was so happy because Alaric was coming back from Russia for good, today. He was 25 now and Merideth was 21, I was 21 in 2 months.
I locked up the house and felt my stalker aproach me.
"Hi Damon" I said kindly
I was going to be nice to him today and tomorrow
"How'd you know? I didnt make a sound this time" He complained
"Your precence is too recognisable to me, im use to it now" I shrugged.
I could feel his presence because of my phycic powers passed to me from my grandma. She was a druide witch but she wasnt evil, and i knew roughly how to use my powers, better than i did this time last year.
"Well I think I should escort you to the library today you never know what could happen" He laughed.
I continued at the same pace though we were nearly at the library.
"Damon its 7 in the morning what do you think Im going to get murdered or something?" I asked.
"Naw its just i have nothing better to do all day unless I want to read wedding magazines with the happy couple." He groaned.
"I've also read every book in that library. Anyway I came to walk with you today for a special reason" He grinned cheekily.
"Oh?" I wasnt paying close attention to him.
"Yes, I was wondering if you wanted to go on a date with me?" he asked hesitently. I knew this was hard for him because it was a human gesture but it was still weird.
I stopped.
"What?" he asked turning to face me "Are you having a phycic fit"
"You want to go on a date...with me?" I clarified I couldnt get my head around it.
"yes" He answered casually.
I eyed him cautiously what was with this sudden invitation?
"Ummm," Think of an excuse-I have gingivitis, glangular fever, its a sacred druide day the bubonic plague, anything.
"When?" I asked.
"How about tonight"
"Sure"
DAMMIT! I said yes? He only wants my blood.
"I'll pick you up around 7 okay" He smiled and pecked me on the cheek-like he always did. For the first few days he started doing it i would freeze, blush, stutter ect but now I was use to it, he bounced away.
I unlocked the library doors and walked in.
Damon was right about something "You never know what could happen"
In the empty room I felt another presence and the strong feeling of being watched.
I flipped in the lights even though there was enough light from outside. The sun had left Fells church for a few days and it was unnaturally cold.
This library on the other hand was like the North Pole, Damon could change the weather but not the temprature of a tiny library.
I sat infront of the old computer feeling those eyes bore into my back I was begining to feel self concious. My teeth began chattering I hugged my jersy tighter to myself.
"Hello?" I called into the library feeling completly idiotic.
I turned the heater on full.
"Ahhhh Bonnie" A breezey, cold voice said loudly I could hear a smile in the voice.
"Sorry we dont open for another half an hour" I said hoping it would go away but I knew it was useless.
"Im not here for books" It said.
I was begining to detect a slight soprano edge to the booming voice so I knew it was a female.
"Well our internet does'nt start untill 11 I'm sorry for the inconveniance" I smiled it was obvious that I was playing dumb.
"Bonnie" She said as she stepped out of a shadow in the corner.
I gasped
Chapter 2
She was beautiful. She had long jet black hair that shimmered to the middle of her back. She was tall and very thin, I was immediatly envious.
Her face was perfect, she had high cheek bones, a small pointed nose and full blood red lips
"Bonnie'" She repeated except this time spoke.
She wasnt using her mental voice. Her voice was cool and clear like a stream
"Yes?" I began to tremble.
"I came to see you"
I felt an angry flare strick up my insides i had no reason to be this angry. Who was she? And what did she want?
"No you came to see a rock." I said sarcasticly, pretty lame I know but it was the first thing to come into my head.
She continued her mocking smile.
"You have been spoken about far and wide." She said.
I went ridget in my seat.
".About?" I tried to comprehend the reason.
"Yes and i need your help." She coninued.
"With what?" I asked did she need to find a book? She said she wasnt here for books.
"You're powers are greatly known, some say your power and love from a vampire bought a girl back from the dead" She explained.
"No! I hate it. No way! I would do it but I get taken over and I hate it!
