Mystic Falls. Even the name needed to emphasize the fact that it wasn't an ordinary town where everyone lives happily ever after. Because let's face it, who the hell names the town after mystery adding into the mix the Fall? It can't mean anything good. And it doesn't. Bonnie Bennet has already felt the curse of this place. For many years of her life she actually thought she was going to live a normal life. That she would marry a nice and handsome man, have cute children and a satysfing job. But all of her dreams have fallen apart the day Salvatore's brothers decided to came back, causing everything to change. Yes, she blames them. She blames them for everything that went wrong. For Vicky's death, for Jeremy's pain, for Caroline being a mess, for Elena's life changing, for everyone's life being in danger. Hell, she even blames them for her powers. Yes, Bonnie isn't an ordinary girl. Because witches are never ordinary. And she happened to be one. A young witch who cannot fully control her powers yet but she will be great and dangerous one day. And she blames them for it too. Because the only one person who could help her become stronger is her dead grandmother. The only person who guided Bonnie through her life, the only person that was her family. The only one who cared to be for her when she needed it. And now she is gone. All because of those fucking Salvatore's brothers. The truth to be told, the one of them. Damon.

-Bonnie, You are here! I cannot believe it. Why haven't you called me? – she could hear Elena's voice from the afar. The truth is, she didn't want to be back, she didn't want to call her and she doesn't want to be here at all. She is still mourning her grandmom's death. And being in the place where everything happened, where she could meet the person who is responsible for all of this, is too much. She wants to turn away, she wants to run. But this is her bestfriend who she always loved and she is done with running so she doesn't. Instead she is pulled into tight and warm embrace. She hugs her back and breaths in.

-I've missed you. – Elena whispers. She looks into those sad, green eyes. Bonnie looks different. And it's not about the look, even though her new hairstyle rocks and she looks so pretty. Bonnie doesn't say anything just stares at her and Elena is lost.

- Let's go for a walk - she quickly says, grabing Bonnie's hand. They both need it, they both need to say everything they are thinking aloud. And it gives them a perfect opportunity to fix the mess between them.

The weather is beautiful, it is an autumn and leaves start to turn into colorful and magic things. Wind blows and suddenly leaves are everywhere. One of them lands into Bonnie's hair. She quickly brush it off. Girls are walking through the park, holding hands. They both are afraid of saying anything, of ruining the quiet moment. Sun begins to go under and the chills runs through Bonnie's body.

- I am sorry that I cut you out - Bonnie is nervous, she doesn't know what to do. She had a plan to make coming back as invisible as possible. She wanted to sort things out in her head before talking to anyone. Especially Elena. But seeing her best friend so concerned and so honest made her feel at ease and somehow was a trigger for her outburst – I needed time alone. Everything happened so fast. One day we were normal cheerleaders whose only problem was a date to Founder's Day and the next one I am a witch and you have a vampire boyfriend. A freaking vampire.

Elena nods. It sounds so surreal. Witches. Vampires. Deaths. But it is true. Only in Mystic Falls. Who would believe this? Not her, not Bonnie. They were down to earth and reasonable. Now all for nothing, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you. She knew that losing the only parental figure in her life, must have been awfully hard for Bonnie. And the fact that her boyfriend Stefan and his brother basically were responsible for all this doesn't help much. Especially Damon's part. Stefan was nice, caring, safe ( as safe as a vampire can be) and he wouldn't hurt anyone but Damon. Damon was whole another story.

- I know that blaming Stefan was not right but I couldn't help it, Elena. He was the first person that I could throw my anger at and I gladly took the chance to do so. I am sorry. – Bonnie sighed. And the change in her, something that Elena couldn't put her fingers on it ear hit her. She can't see the innocence in Bonnie anymore. She doesn't feel it. The only thing that had been so constant, the only thing that she envied Bonnie so much. It is gone. And it kills her.

- I understand. – she squeezes Bonnie's hands. – I am sorry for everything too. It shouldn't have happened. We shouldn't put the weight of it on your shoulder. We… I guess we tricked ourselves to believe that this would stop Damon.

- Yeah, you do suck – Bonnie joked to lighten the mood. Afterall she believed in stopping Damon too.

- I will let you get away with offending me this time but only because it is your first they after getting back. – laughed Elena – but me being supportive ends tomorrow!

- Good to know you haven't changed a bit – smiled witch – but do not forget my powers are back and I can kick your ass. – she pointed a finger at her friend threatfully.

- Can you stay over at my place tonight? I kind of need my best friend back. You know dances and finals. We both need dresses. And a great plan to get you a new, brand boyfriend. And to remind you – Stefan is already taken - Elena grinned. Brunette hit her in the arm playfully. Laughing they both stand up and headed into Gilbert's house direction. They spent an evening giggling, watching romantic movies and eating popcorn. It almost felt like old times. Almost. Bonnie showed Elena her new tricks, like making objects fly or setting a fire to Elena's bed ( truthfully it was by accident but Bonnie never admitted it). But it was nice to be normal for a change instead of dealing with death and vampires. And losing her grandmother. While Elena was showering she turned TV on. That was a bad move. Reports about new attacks where on every channel. The four single ladies are missing…. Blood all over the house… Brutal murderer… And then the close up to the face of a stranger. She didn't know the blonde guy but somehow she couldn't take her eyes off the TV screen. And then it hit her. Her vision. All of sudden everything went blury like in old movies.

- No! Don't do this to me, please! – she could hear her own voice. She was panic stricken.

The vision came and went so quickly that all she was left with was a fear. Something is going to happen in Mystic Falls. Again. And it will involve her. Again.

Normally Bonnie would be in tears already crying so hard. But she finds herself terribly calm. Yes, she is different. She is not as vulnerable as she was before. And she is glad for this because one thing she needs now is strength. And courage.
