Summary: Bonnie explores the town and gets some news. Matt haves a small conversation with the person who took him and finds out some new information. With Bonnie's friends wanting none of her help she calls someone and asks for their help.
Chapter 4
As Bonnie lay in bed thinking of the events of yesterday, she is relieved to know that Caroline and Elena know she's back in town. She hurries out of the bed to the bathroom before her bladder explodes and then makes her way downstairs to the kitchen. Last night Tyler had bought her home because Matt had not made it back yet. Bonnie grabbed the box of Trix she bought yesterday and a bowl.
Taking her bowl of cereal to the living room, she got ready to watch repeats of her favorite show. This was her thing to do when she awoke in the morning, eat cereal and watch Angel. She loved the show because it had a vampire being generous and loving. He wanted to protect the innocent and he did a good job at it. At first she thought it was weird to watch since she ran away from her home filled with vamps. Now she didn't care as long as David Boreanaz was on the screen she would be watching it.
Once the show was over she washed her dish off and headed upstairs to shower. Her plan today was to go and explore Mystic Falls. See if there was anything new around and if the old had survived time. She hopped out the shower and put on a white crisp button up shirt with dark jeans and black heels. She had grown into the habit of wearing heels to make her seem taller out in the real world. Trotting downstairs she grabbed her purse and keys making sure to lock the front door behind her.
Today was a nice day, the sun was high up in the air and there was not a cloud in the sky. Bonnie rolled down her windows, letting the soft breeze make its way through her hair. She was riding into the small shopping area when Matt's sport store caught her eye. Her decision was to go in and say hey to Matt and make sure he was okay while she looked at his store. She parked a few stores down and walked in to see a young man, with brunette hair and olive green eyes, he looked like a high school kid. Bonnie walked up to him and he greeted her.
"Hello welcome to the Sports Corner. If you need any help please ask me." Bonnie smiled at the boy.
"Actually, I wanted to know was Matt in?" The kid looked at her while moving a hat to a different place.
"Mr. Donovan hasn't come in yet, would you like me to tell him you stopped by?" Bonnie began to walk away.
"No thanks. I will see him later. Bye."
"Good- bye and have a nice day." Bonnie walked back out into the sun. Matt's store was nice and his employee was very well mannered. She smiled as she went on looking at the new and old stores in the town
Matt had a major headache, he opened his eyes and everything was dark. He thought about how he got here and remembered it was that girl from the bar and some other man. He was trying to talk but noticed his voice was a bit hoarse. He didn't know why. Then a light came on and he had to readjust to it. Once his eyesight was focused again, he looked around him to see where he was.
"You can stop trying to figure out where you are." She said from across the room
"What do you want from me?" The lady smiled and pulled up a chair across from him.
"I don't want anything from you. I want your friend, the witch."
"Are you crazy, there are no such things as witches?" He said believing that they weren't. She looked deep into his eyes, so close to his face that he could smell the liquor on her breath.
"So she hasn't told you." She sat back and began to laugh. "Probably trying not to scare you off. Good tactic, I mean who would want to loose a friend like you."
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"I believe you, but that isn't going to help you either way." She got up and walked away, Leaving Matt with two very strong looking young men. They walked over to him. "These two gentlemen will be getting to know your face very well, until the witch comes to get you." Matt's heart started to race. This was scaring the hell out of him.
"What are you going to do to me?"
"We are just going to have a little fun." She said crossing her arms as the men began punching Matt.
Even though the stores in this town were small, they still had lots to offer, Bonnie liked that. She had bought a watch from the antique store and a book to read. Dropping the bags on the floor when she entered the house, she plopped down on the couch only to hear a knock at the door.
"Coming." She said getting back up and walking to the door. "Who is it?"
"Sheriff Forbes." Bonnie opened the door wondering what the sheriff was doing here.
"Hello Sheriff Forbes, how can I help you?"
"May I come in?" Bonnie opened the door more and the sheriff walked in. "Ummm..."
"What is it sheriff?"
"Matt is missing." Bonnie let the surprise take over. "Caroline told me that you were the last to talk to him. Do have any idea where he could have gone?"
Bonnie finally got the nerve to talk. "He told me he was just going for a walk and he would be back."
"Did you see exactly where he went?" the sheriff asked writing notes down.
"No I didn't I am sorry." Bonnie felt so useless.
"It's fine." The sheriff closed her notepad and opened the door.
"I wish I could be some help but that's all he said to me."
"Thank you." The sheriff was about to leave before turning around. "It is good to have you back in town Bonnie. Your father would have been glad to see you come home."
Bonnie nodded her head, "Thanks Sheriff Forbes." With that the Sheriff left and Bonnie stood in the hall distraught. Then the thought of Caroline came into her mind, she must be feeling even worst. Bonnie grabbed her keys and went to her car. She got to Caroline's home in 10 minutes and looked around to see a few cars in front of the house. Walking as fast as she could she went to the front door and began to knock. After the third knock Tyler answered the door.
"Hey Bonnie."
"Where is Caroline?" She said staring at Tyler. "How is she doing?"
"She is in the living room and she can't stop crying. We keep telling her not to think of the worst but she won't stop."
"Do you think I can come in and see if there is anything I can do?" He stepped to the side and she walked in passed him to see Elena, Stefan, Jeremy, Jenna, and Alaric sitting in the front room. It was quiet as Bonnie could tell that no one knew what to think. Tyler came in the room and asked where Caroline went and that is when they looked up at her. Jenna, Jeremy, and Alaric all seemed surprised to see her back in town.
"She went in the kitchen." Elena said getting up and showing her the way. Bonnie followed her to see Caroline crying over the sink. When Elena went to touch her back she sat up and looked over to the green eyed witch. The sadness in her face was replaced with anger.
"What do you want?" Bonnie could hear the venom coming from her.
"I came to help Caroline. Matt is my friend and I want to help however I can." Caroline walked in front of Bonnie.
"Everything was fine until you came back, then my fiancé went missing." Caroline said raising her voice
"That is just a coincidence. I..."
"I don't think so. Something is telling me that you are the reason Matt is missing, maybe even dead." Bonnie did not know what to say or think about that. Knowing that Caroline was only upset, she just nodded her head and walked back in the living room. The girls followed, "I want you to get out my house."
Every eye was on Bonnie as Caroline asked her to leave. "I am trying to help. Why would you think I would do anything to Matt?"
"He has this blind trust for you and I do not know why." Bonnie couldn't take it anymore Caroline was going off on her for something she didn't do. She didn't know what made her say what she said next.
"He has that because he and I know that we have each others best interest at heart, unlike other people who could give a damn." The next thing Bonnie felt was a hand across her face. Bonnie knew she should have never said what she did but it was like acid reflux or vomit. "I am sorry Caro..."
"Get the hell out of my house Bonnie. NOW." Bonnie looked around at all the faces staring at the two of them. A tear fell out of her out as she turned to leave. Running to her car Bonnie felt like maybe if she left Matt would return. She wanted her friends to be happy and getting Matt back seemed like the best way to get on their good sides. The problem was that she couldn't do it alone. She would need someone to help and since everyone she knew in Mystic Falls didn't want anything to do with her, she would have to call in her own reinforcements.
Hurrying into the house she searched through her purse for her phone. When she found it, the entire bag fell onto the ground. As she picked up the items a picture caught her eye. It was a picture of the five of them. Bonnie had not remembered why she took the picture with her. Maybe it was a reminder of what she had been so stupid enough to leave behind. She threw the picture in the purse and grabbed her phone. If she was going to find Matt she would need help and someone who would do as she asked. She scrolled down the list until she reached the name, hesitating for a moment before pressing dial. Someone answered after two rings.
"Hey it's Bonnie." Pause "I need your help."
Matt was in pain. Why was this lady hurting him, he had only met her yesterday. She sat across the room watching him in pain as the two men in front of him continued hitting him. "You seem like a descent person. Sorry I have to do this to you."
"So why don't you stop." She motioned for the men to stop. Matt thought that his request had been granted until she began to talk again.
"The witch did something to me and it hurt. So I am going to repay her the favor."
"Can you at least tell me which one of my friend's that you want revenge against?" She thought about it for a minute.
"I don't think she wants you to know or she would've told you."
"So it's a female."
"Oops did I spill that little bit of information. Well that's all you are going to get outta me. Maybe if you're smart enough you could figure it out." She turned walking away, telling the two gentlemen to follow. Matt sat there thinking who this person could be. It was really only three women he knew Caroline, Elena, and Bonnie. Thinking of the last name he began to ponder. He was taken when she got back in town, but she would tell him something like this. She told him everything and would tell him if she was different, right. As he thought about it more and more, Bonnie's personality would make her stay silent if it protected the people she cared for. Bonnie was the witch and she may not know it but it was killing him.
Bonnie sat on her bed going through her Grams spell book. There had to be something in the book that would help her find Matt. She would keep looking until she found something, anything really. She was turning the page when she heard a knock at the door. Hurrying downstairs she got to the front door and opened it. "Hey." She said standing in the middle of the door way. He smiled as he watched the witch stare him up and down.
"Are you going to invite me in?" Bonnie stepped to the side.
"Come in Damon." he walked past her and into the living room. "Hope this was a good idea." Bonnie said closing the front door.
