A/N: So this was sort of a boring chapter but I blame it on the episode. Good news is I'm already almost done with episode 3, so that will be uploaded later today(hopefully).
What do you think so far?


"So I talked to my Grams. She said that you can be there when we talk about the witch stuff," Bonnie tells me as we drive to school.
"Are you still freaked out about yesterday?" I ask.
"Yeah. I have this feeling that the darkness we talked about has to do with whatever happened to Vicki"
"Wow. That sucks for her, but I feel like Nancy Drew. Like this is some mystery that we need to figure out" I said excitedly even though I already knew what was going on.
"Seriously. Okay so this stays between you and me. Here is what we know. When I touched Elena I got a feeling of death and saw fog and a crow. We also know there is a darkness coming but not what it is," She explains.
"Okay, anything else?"
"Well my gram says that the comet tonight is a sign of impending doom. The last time it came around there was a lot of death and created a bed of paranormal activity.
"Freaky! Oh, not to change the subject but I haven't gotten a chance to tell you! I don't know what I am but I am something!"
"Yes, Victoria you are something"
"I'm serious. I lit a candle with out doing anything to it!"
"Wow! Do you think my Grams will know something?"
"I really hope so! I haven't done much else because I don't know what I can do but I really want to learn!"
"She will help. I'm sure of it. She loves this sort of thing"
"You are too good to me Bonnie Bee," I say with a smile
"I know, you love it" She smiles back.


"So then what" Caroline asked Elena as we all sit around the table folding pamphlets.
"So then nothing" Elena answers.
"Wait, what are we talking about?" I ask.
"You and Stefan talked, all night. There was no sloppy first kiss, no touchy feely of any kind," Caroline looks at Elena then to me and we both look at Elena eyebrows raised.
"Nope. We didn't go there"
"Not even a handshake" I said
"I mean Elena we are your friends, we are suppose to share the smut"
"Oh speaking of that I've got a good story for you later," I say to Care.
"At least someone understands girl code!"
"We just talked for hours," Elena says
"Wow, that sounds so… boring" I say.
"No, it was epic" She says to me in a dreamy tone.
"What is up with the blockage? Just jump his bones already"
"Someone going through a dry spell. I'll pray for you," I say in my most church like voice while looking at Caroline who is trying her hardest not to laugh.
"It's easy. Boy likes girl, girl likes boy. Sex" Care continues as if I hadn't said anything.
"Profound" Elena says rolling her eyes and getting up.
"Where are you going?" Bonnie asks.
"Caroline is right. It is that easy. I'm going to go do what I planned to do this morning," Elena says leaving.
"That's so not going to end well"
"Whatever. I'm over it. So now let me tell you about the major hottie I saw at the bar last night and the unfortunate story of me not getting a name or a number," Care says to me.
"Well if it was at the grill then maybe that means he lives around town and you'll see him again," I say knowing full well that she is going to see him again. I want to save her from this pain but there is no way. At least she comes out stronger in the end. Maybe I can convince Damon to be nicer to her.
"Oh I so hope I do. His eyes were to die for. Total danger bad boy look going too"
"Yummy!" I say with a wink.
"But don't think that distracted me from your little comment earlier. What's the smut?" She asks laughing.
"Soo I met this guy last night"
"Yes…." Both Care and Bonnie are leaning towards me.
"… and we went to his place and helped him test the structure quality of his spring board" I say with a smirk.
"OMG What did he look like and was it good?"
"It was unbelievable! He had brown hair but I don't remember his name" I lie easily.
"Ugh I'm so jealous" Care says.
"Wow y'all are a pair," Bonnie says rolling her eyes, "So just a one-night stand?"
"Yeah, I like them better. It's less awkward and you are allowed to be selfish"
"I'll take your word for it" She replies.


"Night of the Comet, would you like a program?" I ask handing a random lady the paper.
"He didn't call, huh?" Bonnie asks Elena.
"Or text," She replies, "then I realized we didn't even exchange that stuff. We never even got to the texting part"
"That's an important mile stone in any relationship" I say, then think about it, "Wait, I don't have either of your numbers" We stop and fix that immediately.
"Time was all wrong anyway," Elena says as we begin walking again.
"That sounds like an excuse, if I ever heard one" I say and she gives me a look.
"I'm not ready anyways, it's too soon!" She says ignoring me.
"Again, excuses" I sing.
"At least I put myself out there" She says looking solely at me. We are now stopped.
"Is that what you're calling this" I ask.
"You don't know what it's like, don't judge me like you do" She says shortly.
"Oh really? Which part? Dead parents? Check. New relationship? Been there done that. Boyfriend with family problems? All around check. So there are something you don't know about him. Are you honestly surprised at that? He's got issues and secrets just like everyone else. He's got family drama and old girlfriends. It's not like he's been living in solitary all his life. I'm sorry if this sounds rude but he doesn't owe you an explanation. It's okay that you don't know everything" my voice steadily gets louder as my rant goes on.
"Okay, your right!" She says effectively ending my speech.
"I know. Bottom line, if you want this. Fight for it. If you don't bow out peacefully and move on" She looks at me for a bit then slowly nods her and Bonnie go back to handing out the pamphlets. I see Damon a little ways away, he winks and I laugh. Both girls turn to me like I'm crazy. I just shrug my shoulders.


"Candle time!" I sing as I hand Care and Bonnie a candle.
"Thank Luna" Care sings back
"My pleasure, Carebear"
"Look Elena's talking to Stefan!" Bonnie points out as we huddle together to not so inconspicuously watch the event unfold.
"So are we for this or what?"
"Eh, I think they're cute" Bonnie says.
"Whatever, he seems good for her," says Care.
"Who are we talking about?" Tyler asks as he walks up with Matt.
"Elena and the new guy" Care explains.
"Well this is boring. I'll catch up with y'all later" I say as I walk towards the grill.


"Fancy meeting you here" someone purrs in my ear and I turn around.
"Why hello, my sexy evil bestie" I say smiling, "how are you enjoying your Night of the Comet?"
"Definitely better than the last it came around" He says with a smile. "So I've been meaning to ask," He starts out.
"Then I've probably been avoiding answering," I state.
"Feisty. So how do I know if there is something you know that can help me?"
"I'll let you in on another secret. The bitchier I act around a subject, most likely the more I know"
"How has no one caught on to that?" He asks.
"I'm too new, and I play bitchface really well"
"Hey I know you" Vicki says ending any more conversation we were having.
"Well that's unfortunate" Damon replies.
"No. I know you. I just don't know where from" She says looking at him confused.
"Yeah, you served him at the grill a couple days ago. Just like you do everyone else who lives in this town," I say rolling my eyes that our conversation is was interrupted. She gives me a bitch look so I do my best impression of a druggie, "or… maybe, you know, like, you recognize his soul or something".
"I'm begging to see what you were talking about" He says looking at me with a weird expression.
"Whatever. Sorry" She says walking off.
"I thought Stefan would have taken care of that" I somewhat ask.
"He tried, but he's currently lacking the right amp to get the job done"
"Well, you better go take care of that then. Good luck," I say getting up.
"See you soon bestie" He says with a wink as he walks off. Damn beautiful ass.


"Have any of you seen Vicki?" Jeremy asks our group.
"No man you're her stalker, you tell us" Tyler says back.
"If he's the stalker, why would he ask where she is?" I say as I roll my eyes.
"I can't find her," Jeremy says.
"She probably found someone else to party with. Sorry pill-pusher I guess you've been replaced" says Tyler.
"What's with the pill pusher?" Elena asks.
"Ask him" Tyler says back.
"Do you really want to do this right now" Jeremy says.
"Are you dealing" Elena says.
"She's never going to go for you" Tyler states.
"There is a better time and place for both of these conversations, what about Vicki?" I ask pretending to care.
"She already did, over and over and over again," Jeremy says ignoring Elena and me.
"Yeah right" Tyler says.
"Any other awkward and more that slightly uncomfortable news we would like to share with Matt?" I ask, Care breaks out laughing next to me.
"You slept with Vicki Donavan? I mean Vicki Donavan slept with YOU?" She asks while trying to regain composer.
"There's no way," Tyler says.
"And I didn't even have to force her into it," Jeremy says looking at Tyler.
"What the hell is he talking about Ty?" Matt asks, the rest of us got quiet.
"Nothing, just ignore him he's a punk" Tyler says.
"How about all of you shut up and help me find my sister?" Matt practically yells.
"Sure, darling. I'll start in town center," I say as I get up and leave. Not bothering to wait for anyone else.


Back at my house I skim more of my journal. I'm clearly as unorganized in this world as I was in my last. There is no order to how I wrote my notes, but I do find it weird that on every new part I mark the phase of the moon. Bonnie Calling intrupts my snooping. "Hey doll" I say answering the phone.

"I think I found more to the puzzle" She says sounding more than a little frantic.
"Okay, take a deep breath and start at the beginning" "Care and I were at the Grill hanging out after they found Vicki. Stefan walks in looking for Elena and I end up giving him her number"
"Okay… What part of that has you freaked out?" I ask after she paused for a bit.
"It's not that. It's what happened when my hand brushed up against his. I got this feeling…"
"…Yes?"
"It was just sort of a feeling that ran through me when we touched…"
"I'm guessing this has nothing to do with sparks flying?"
"I'm serious Victoria"
"I know because you used my real name. What was the feeling?" I finally ask.
"Death" She says and we are both quiet for a while.
"Okay so what do we think about that?"
"I don't know, I'm so freaked out," She says and I can hear the fear in her voice.
"Okay take a deep breath and think this through with me. You are a witch, we don't know what I am. Is there a chance that Stefan is something too? Maybe whatever feeling you got is trying to tell you something," I say trying to tell her without telling her.
"Umm yeah I think there is only one way to interpret that feeling. He is death" "True but what does that mean. I think this is a key piece of our puzzle so I don't want to jump to anything but we really need to keep an eye on Stefan Salvatore"
"But that's the problem, he is dating Elena. What do we do about that?" She asks timidly.
"I don't know what to tell her when we don't exactly know what it is that we are freaked out about. I mean, right now we are just talking about weird feelings" I said. "How about we agree to continue this convo later. We will keep an eye on him and try to piece it together, and when we do-we will confront him and get her the hell away" Bonnie says.
"Sounds like a plan, Stan"
"You are so weird. Night girl"
"Good night little miss Bonnie Bee" I say before hanging up the phone.
