Bonnie's P.O.V

I ran over to Sage and gave him a hug. "Sage, what are you doing here?"

"Damon told me you all would be here." He winked at me after we parted from each other. "And I missed you all."

"We missed you too."

"Of course you did," he said, giving a cocky grin. He turned his eyes away from me to the group. "So, ready to explore Florence?"

There were nods from most of the group, except for Damon and Stefan, who already knew about this place. Sage led the way to our transportation. I made move to follow, but froze as I noticed a pair of eyes on me. The guy staring was tall and dressed in nearly all black. His hair was spiked and black. He was definitely handsome, but not as much as Damon.

"Bonnie?" Elena's voice broke through my trance, causing me to look away. I hadn't noticed everyone had moved toward the exit. I glanced back in the direction of the guy only to be met with nothing. I looked around confused, seeing not even a single trace of him.

Giving up, I turned back to my friends and smiled. "Sorry, I guess I blanked." I explained and walked toward them. Everyone seemed to be content with my answer and started walking again. Except for Damon, who had a concerned look on his face. "I'm fine," I said, trying to assure him.

"When was the last time you fed?"

I sighed at his question. He had been on edge about my well-being ever since I informed him of my decision not to feed on humans. "I went hunting with Stefan before we left."

"And the animal blood is keeping you strong."

"Yes," I replied quickly. "We should catch up with the others," I said, walking toward the exit.


"Oh…my…God," Caroline gasped as we entered the Salvatores' old home. "It's beautiful."

I looked around, regarding everything in the place with a careful eye. The place was big enough to be a palace. It had a very elaborate taste. It seemed to be filled with many Baroque paintings. I found myself very jealous of Damon and Stefan growing up here. "It really is," I said.

Sage looked at Stefan then Damon before saying, "Why don't you show les belles filles to their rooms?" He motioned to Caroline and Elena. I would have no help finding my room because I would be sharing with Damon. Sage then turned to Meredith and gave her a wink. "I'll show you to yours." Meredith narrowed her eyes in suspicion, but didn't speak a word.

I glanced down at my watch then back to the group. "We should all meet back here in an hour. Then, plan out what we want to do here."

"Relax Bon, we're here all summer. There's plenty of time for that," Caroline spoke. "I'm jet-lagged; I need sleep."

I then noticed how she, Elena, Matt, and Meredith looked. I assumed being a vampire made me immune to easy exhaustion. Smiling, I nodded my understanding. We all went our separate ways throughout the large house.

I followed Damon into his room. He dropped our bags by the door before turning to me with a smirk. "Like it?"

"No, I love it," I said, looking around the room that made mine look like a shoebox. "I just wish it was mine."

"It is," he replied in a silky voice.

"Yeah, I know, for the summer."

"It could be longer." He stated.

"I know, but Fell's Church is my home," I said, sadly. "I can't just not go back."

"You'll have to leave eventually. People will begin to realize you're not aging."

The thought of leaving my family and friends deeply affected me. "Damon, I know." I looked up to meet his gaze. "I think I'm going to go feed."

"I'll come with you."

"No, I can go alone."

"Red, you won't know where to go."

I thought about his words for a moment, of course he was right. Slowly, I nodded, "Okay, lead the way."


Meredith's P.O.V.

I cautiously followed Sage upstairs to my room. We hadn't exchanged any words. After a moment of walking through the halls, we stopped in front of a door. "Here we are," he said, smirking. I now understood why he and Damon were best friends.

"Thanks," I said dryly before opening the door and entering the room. I took note on how great the room looked. It wasn't bright like the rest of the house. My admiration of the room was cut short as I realized Sage step into the room. I threw him a confused look. "Is there anything else?"

He leaned against the wall carelessly. "No."

"Then why are you still here?" I asked, not really caring if I was being rude.

He shrugged, glancing around the room. "What's the rush?"

"I want to be alone right now," I said, getting defensive.

"Okay," he said, but made no move to leave. "Am I really that horrible to talk to?"

I sighed in frustration and agitation. "Now…yes."

He smirked at my answer. He took a few steps toward me until we were inches apart. I looked him in his eyes, showing him I wouldn't back down. "Then, I leave you to it." To my surprise, he turned around and left out of the door. I stared after him for a moment.

Weird.


Bonnie's P.O.V

Damon led me to a woods area to feed. We had parted ways to hunt separately. I looked around for something, but not much was in sight. Sighing, I took more steps into the area. I was about to give up when I saw a fox. After feeding, I went to look for Damon. I heard a branch snap while walking. I spun around, assuming that he was behind me. But I saw nothing after I turned. Must've been an animal, I thought.

When I turned back, I noticed a figure at a distance in front of me. It was the same guy from the airport earlier. I started towards him, but a hand grabbed my arm. Reacting quickly, I grabbed the arm and slammed the person against a nearby tree. "Bonnie, what the hell?" My eyes widened as I realized who the person was.

"Damon?" I asked, releasing my hold on him. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't know it was you."

"Who else would it be?"

"This guy…he was over there." I looked back toward the guy, but he was once again gone.

"There's no one there." He drawled out.

"He left," I turned back to face him, wondering if I should tell him about the airport. "He was at the airport."

A confused look crossed his features. "What? Who?"

"The guy I just saw. I think he might be a vampire or something."

He shook his head, "I didn't sense anyone."

"I - let's just get back," I said, heading back to the house with Damon in tow. Before I got too far, I spared a glance back toward the woods.


* Third P.O.V *

Dean walked into a quiet restaurant and headed toward a familiar figure. He sat down across from him and stared at his face. "Did you see her?" The slightly older man asked.

"Yes, you were right," Dean said, his voice void of emotion. "The witch has been turned."

"I told you."

"How is such a thing even possible? Her vampire side should've killed the witch side."

"That's obviously not the case this time."

"That power…I never sensed anything so strong before," he said before looking back up. "There was another vampire with her. I think he was the one to turn her."

"Did you recognize him?"

"No, I had to leave." Dean's face went sullen. "So what do we do?"

"We wait until the time is right." Whispered the man. "And then we end this."

Dean only nodded his head in agreement.
