Chapter 1
Salem village, 1692
They were four like the riders of apocalypse. They stopped their horses in front a house and got down. They knocked on the door.
Maid : she opened Yes ?
One of the men : We're here for the slave Bonnie Bennett.
Bonnie : I'm here she showed up
Same man : You're under arrest for the crime of witchcraft.
The maid looked down but stepped aside. She coudn't help her or she would get arrested too. They walked in and put chains around Bonnie's wrists. She didn't fight. Her coven needed protection. They left the house. One of them helped her on a horse and they rode towards the town jail. Once there they assigned her a cell. She wasn't alone. Two women were there in other cells. She recognized Melinda from the moon coven but the other girl was unknown. She was sure she was a witch though. Why else would she be here ? They looked scared.
Bonnie : she smiled half-heartidly It will be over soon.
She was right about that. The trial went fast and without surprise they were recognized guilty. Death sentence. The last night was excrutiating. You are never truely prepared to die. In the morning guards came to walk them to the stakes. They gave the women some water. They gulped it eagerly since they didn't have any since yesterday. This time their hands were tied behind their backs. They went inside and blinked because of the light. An angry and eager crowd was gathered. As the three witches passed among them, they yelled and threw things. The guards didn't stop them. They tied the women to the stakes and lit the fire. Smoke began to fill the air. Bonnie focused and muttered some words so they would fall asleep and not die painfully. Nothing happened. The water, she thought. They must have slipped something in it. She started to cough because of the smoke. It was the same for the two others. Then it all went pitch black.
Mystic Falls, nowadays
The big room was filled with witches. Candles everywhere. A man was tied in a corner. He looked terrified.
Joshua : Do you have all the ingredients ?
Kai : Yes. The dirt taken from a grave of a recent death under the moonlight, the bones of a nightbird and he looked at the man
Joshua : he gave him a knife Do it.
Kai grabbed it and walked to the man. He snapped his neck with magic killing him. He bent down and cut his throat. He gathered some of the dripping blood in a calice.
Joshua : The blood of an innocent he took the calice and put it on a table with the rest of the ingredients
Kai joined the circle and they started to chant. Louder and louder. A strong and invisible wind filled the room and blew the candles. A light went through the ceiling and went down slowly on the floor in the middle of the circle. The light changed into a human form. Naked, she was holding her knees against her chest sitting on the floor. Bonnie Bennett was back from the dead. She looked around slowly feeling so confused. A lot of people were in the room. Her head spinned a little. A middle aged woman broke from the circle and put a cover around the young witch. She helped her up. Bonnie stumbled because her legs were working for the first time again in centuries.
Joshua : Bring her in the room we prepared and take care of her, please.
Bonnie and the woman left.
Joshua : It was a success, everyone. Go get some rest.
They all left discussing and smiling.
Joshua : Good job, son.
Kai : Let's hope she still has her powers.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Mystic falls
Ruth (A/N : from Bitten if you watch the show) dropped on her knees.
Elena : Mom ?! she was by her side in no time
Ruth : she took a harsh breath Something big just happened.
