Chapter 3
As Bonnie made her way down the stairs, she uncontrollably stared at Jeremy swapping money for the pizza. Again, she felt the same presence as she did in Jeremy's room. Jeremy turned and saw Bonnie frozen at the foot of the stairs. He looked once and put down the pizza box on the table and reverted towards Bonnie's gaze.
"Show yourself!" Bonnie's voice was stern and confident. Her pupils were dilated. Since Bonnie's discovery of being a witch, she had always experienced blackouts; which normally happened when she put too much strain on her powers. But it was different now. She didn't practise too much magic to weaken her today. Bonnie's lips started quivering and started chanting silently.
"Bonnie. Bonnie?" Jeremy's voice grew a little higher and shakier.
He took the palm of his hands and lifted her face to meet his. The warmth of hot blood surfacing his palms shook Bonnie out of the trance and back to reality.
Bonnie's mind and eyes adjusted to her surroundings. She felt herself become lighter and finally darkness.
Jeremy looked into Bonnie's dilated eyes. Bonnie's eyes blinked and she returned. He didn't let go of Bonnie. It felt nice. He snapped out of his thoughts as her body relaxed and dropped. Jeremy locked her body in his arms and slowly lifted her body. He took her and placed her gently on the sofa. Jeremy crouched down and brushed her hair off her face.
Anna knew it was out of pure jealousy. She didn't really mind Bonnie, but she was a distraction to Jeremy. Anna hated that. She wanted him to herself; no matter how selfish that act maybe. She loved Jeremy. The recent connection they encountered gave Anna confidence that Jeremy won't have to lose her forever. Anna concentrated on Bonnie. Anna was no witch but she used un-dead state to teach Bonnie some sort of a lesson. All this time she could hear Pearl's voice clouding her decision. Anna made swift movements past Bonnie. Her transparent body swam through Bonnie's, causing the witch to flinch and freeze. Bonnie's pupils dilate and she looked as if she was in a trance. Anna continuously runs through Bonnie's frozen structure.
"Show yourself!" She demanded.
Anna keeps it at a steady pace, until Jeremy hears Bonnie. Jeremy walks swiftly to Bonnie's side and comforts her.
"Bonnie. Bonnie?" His face concerned and worried.
Seeing the concern rise in Jeremy's face, Anna slows down. She comes to a halt and is forced to stand between Bonnie and Jeremy. A ghost of a tear rolls down her cheeks. He really cares about her. Anna's mischievous smile turns down and within seconds she speeds to the door. She vanishes. Pearl's voice was building upon Anna's annoyance and anger flushes her pale face. Growing out of patience, she moves to the back door behind the Gilbert's residence.
