I own nothing in relation to TVD. I only own my original characters. I will let you know when the perspectives are different each chapter. Let me know whatcha think!
PS. This is not an all human story :)
Enjoy!
Later that night, Bonnie sat across from the only inanimate object she loved and knew. Her laptop. The time she spend with that more than other people, is crazy. Tonight was just like any other night. Trying to write. Bonnie always finds it hard to find inspiration or even a push of ideas because she'll get distracted by the simplest of things.
Alana Bennett, the younger sister and Bonnie live in an apartment building just ten minutes off campus and fifteen minutes from Alana's high school. Unlike Caroline, Bonnie chose not to live on campus. It's not everyday where you have a newly nineteen year old, caring for her sixteen year old sister. Not that it was hard, because it wasn't.
The town of Mystic Falls, Virginia is nothing like where they came from. The Bennett sisters were born and raised in New Orleans. Caroline too. By choice— of course, Caroline and Bonnie applied at the same college and both got accepted. Every weekend in New Orleans was a weekend of livelihood, loud music and good food. Mystic Falls is quiet, reserved and kinda bland.
The green eyed girl sighed and shut the lid to her laptop. Bonnie was still so focused on how unfocused she was, zoned to a point where she didn't even hear Alana come into the room. "Bonnie, your weird friend's here." She said. Bonnie's eyebrows furrowed together just as she heard a distasteful scoff.
Caroline, being Caroline pushed past Alana. "I don't know why you don't like me. I bring you cookies every time I see you." She defended herself.
Alana rolled her eyes. "They're macadamia nut. I'd think that after knowing me for so long, you'd know that I'm allergic!" After standing her ground, Alana stormed off.
"In my defense, I thought it was something she'd just grow out of." Caroline said quietly, finding a place for herself on the other end of the couch that her best friend sat on.
Bonnie chuckled, trying to ignore the large necklace that hung around Caroline's neck. "I don't think so." Caroline bit her lip and looked at Bonnie with puppy dog eyes. Her mouth turned into a smile. Just as she opened her mouth, she was stopped. "What do you want?"
Caroline gasped, as if she were really offended by my asking. "Now what makes you think that I want something?" Her and Caroline exchanged a stare that held on for a few seconds before she spoke again. "Okay, you caught me. We're going to a party and you have ten minutes to get ready." Caroline stood up. "Fifteen if I'm feeling nice."
"Now wait!" Bonnie, getting up after her. Running up to a very fast walking Caroline, Bonnie was able to stop the slightly taller blonde from walking any further. "I can't go, Care. First of all, I'm busy. It's not even the weekend and I-I have to be here with Alana."
"No you don't," Alana said as she walked past Caroline and her older sister. Caroline turned to Bonnie from looking at Alana and smirked.
Bonnie rolled her eyes. Thank. You. Alana. She thought.
"You are not skipping out on this. Last year, I let it slide because it was our first year. Even I wasn't that big on the party scene but things are different now, Bonnie. We're a year older, not getting any younger and you don't do anything!" Caroline explained all in one breath, letting out the biggest sigh when all was said and done.
"Oh." Bonnie said, taken back. Completely at a loss for words. Not because she was surprised at what Caroline had said… But because she was right. Like always but that doesn't mean Bonnie can leave Alana. She's too young… Right? "But I can't, okay. Alana needs me."
Caroline gave her curious friend a small smile before taking Bonnie's hands in her own. "Oh Bon..." Everything she says sounds like it's all out of pity. One thing Bonnie cannot stand. "You're the best big sister I've ever seen that sometimes I wish you were mine. But Alana's old enough to care for herself and so are you."
Bonnie had always taken care of Alana... for so long, that maybe somewhere down the line, she had forgotten to take care of herself. "Alright, fine. I'll go. But I'm wearing this."
Caroline laughed. "You're cute if you thought I hated you that much to let you leave in those clothes."
Caroline and Bonnie didn't arrive back on campus like the non party goer thought they were going to. Instead, it was a twenty minute drive outside of the perimeter of their college.
The woods.
Bonnie had already been suspicious since before they left the house when Alana decided she wanted to help Caroline pick out her sister's outfit which was barely enough. Nothing that she's used to wearing anyway.
"Where is this party again?" Bonnie asked, following Caroline through dirt, branches and shrubs. The air was okay. It wasn't cold, even though Bonnie wanted that. It was a fine line between being too hot and not being cold enough. So. Warm.
Caroline hasn't answered Bonnie and just kept walking. The silence was unbearable. Bonnie hated silence and Caroline made it even worse because all Caroline did was talk. Not hearing her friend say one thing for such a long period of time creeped Bonnie out. More than walking through the woods with her.
Bonnie pulled out her phone. Maybe she should call Alana… To see if she's okay. Just as Bonnie was about to, she heard voices of other people. A lot more people. Well where the hell did they come from? A few steps later and the woods were suddenly lit from the fire that was in a pit in the middle of the trees.
People Bonnie had never seen before surrounded the place and farther back, Bonnie could see a small cabin in the distance. "We're here!" Caroline cheered quieter than Bonnie would have thought. It's an early fucking Christmas for Caroline since she got Bonnie out of her small apartment so Bonnie expected more than a wimpy "we are here."
"And where is here?" Bonnie asked. "Who the hell are these people?"
Caroline smirked. "Our professors." She said proudly. Bonnie didn't know what to say, seeing as the only class she had all day was English and she had only met one out of her four other professors.
Was Mr. Salvatore here? Wait… why would Bonnie care?
Ten, maybe fifteen minutes passed and turns out, the college Bonnie goes to is more like a God damn resort than a school. It's not everyday when you drink with your professors. Bonnie, wasn't. Of course not. But still, if she wanted to, she could.
Also, Caroline and her weren't the only students there because just a few feet away, behind the cabin Bonnie saw when she first got there was the actual party. A few students Bonnie had met a very days prior to school starting were there so thankfully, if Caroline ran off, then Bonnie wouldn't be that alone.
"Elena would be so proud of you, Bon." Said Caroline, who had two Red Solo cups in her hands. She handed one to Bonnie, who took it. Despite not taking a sip.
Bonnie turned to Caroline. "You say that as if Elena's dead, Care. She's only in New Orleans."
"Well maybe if Miss 'I'm too good to call my friends', actually called her friends then it wouldn't feel that way!" Caroline said, sadly. Caroline was the most pissed when she found out that Elena wanted to stay in Louisiana and not go with them to Virginia. They had all gotten accepted but Elena wanted to remain the poster child for her mother so stayed behind.
"Maybe you should trying calling. She asks about you all of the time."
Caroline rolled her eyes and took Bonnie's drink from her, downing it for herself. "No can do. The time difference is just too much for me." Caroline gave the now empty cup back to friend and began to walk away.
"We're only an hour ahead!" Bonnie called out.
"It's too much, Bonnie! Too much!" Caroline is quite the drama queen. No wonder she chose to be a theater major.
Whitney Houston's 'I'm Every Woman' filled Bonnie's ears. Alana's ringtone. She mentally cursed herself for allowing her younger sister to pick her own ringtone. Bonnie turned away from the excitement and closer to trees that were behind her. After Alana's voice cut out for the second time, Bonnie opted for a text message.
Suddenly, a hand touched Bonnie's should, almost sending her phone to the ground, herself along with it. "You aren't going to get any service out here." He wasn't wrong. When Bonnie looked down, she saw that there were no bars on her cellphone screen.
Bonnie's green irises met with eyes greener than hers, bright like the grass she used to walk on back home. A stranger with homey eyes didn't feel like a threat so that was why Bonnie didn't turn away. "I'm Stefan."
The same hand that touched her, reached out. "Bonnie Bennett." She introduced, confidently. "Do you have a last name, Stefan?" I mean, doesn't everybody?
"Salvatore. Stefan Salvatore." An eyebrow raised at Stefan which caused him to chuckle a bit. Bonnie was waiting to hear more and Stefan knew that. "You're wondering if I'm related to him, aren't you?" He pointed behind Bonnie and she turned to look
Just across the way was her English professor. For some odd reason, Bonnie was relieved that he seemed to be alone. "He's my older brother."
"How." She blurted out. Both Bonnie and him shared a laugh. "I-I mean… He seems so dark and for some reason, you don't rub off on me like that."
"I've heard that one a few times. He's different, that's for sure."
"And you're not?"
Stefan shrugged. "Not really."
Bonnie frowned. "That's a shame," she said, redirecting her eyes back to Stefan's brother who Bonnie only knows him as 'Mr. Salvatore,' "I like different." She concluded.
As the night drawn out, Bonnie found herself around Stefan as time passed by. The less time she spent not looking for Caroline, the more she spent with a boy she barely knew, but felt no harm by.
As for the other Salvatore… well, she still didn't know what to think. All she knew was the possibility of getting more than she bargained for by joining this school.
