Author's Notes:

Sorry for the long wait. I been really tied up with exams lately and I was suffering from a little bit of a writer's block. Well here is chapter four. I hope you enjoy. The season finale for the VD was amazing, can't wait for season 2.

Chapter IV

General POV

Bonnie stood there in awe. What was he doing here?

Harper stood there at the edge of the threshold, smiling at Bonnie.

Bonnie POV

"Hello Bonnie!" Harper said politely.

"What do you want?" I replied not coming out as coldly as I wanted, but it was efficient.

"I want to thank you. I know not even a hundred condolences will ever make up for your loss. But I feel as I must thank you, for giving me back my …..undead life!" I listened intently as he said these words. I wanted to yell at him and tell him to go to hell. But something to stopped me.

"Thank you Harper!" I forgave him. I don't know why, but I did. Probably because it wasn't really his fault.

"Well I must be going. It was a pleasure to meet you Bonnie and I am truly sorry!"

"Thank you Harper. Goodnight!" I replied, but as I said these words, I could feel something clawing at me in the pit of my stomach telling me, to ask him to stay.

"Goodnight Ms. Bennett!" Harper said as he bowed like a real southern gentleman and left.

As he disappeared into the night, I could help but feel as if I wanted him to come back. I don't understand why I had this feeling. I wanted him to stay. I needed him to stay.

Harper POV

I don't know what compelled me to go her house. I just felt drawn to her somehow. Maybe it was for Emily. I knew Emily all those years ago and she and I had become great friends, she even confided in me from time to time, especially when it came to her troubles with Miss Katherine. But I couldn't help but feel guilty for the pain my freedom caused her. I had to let her know I was grateful, I wanted her forgiveness. I need her forgiveness.

I arrived at the farm house and found Miss Pearl, bringing her luggage down the stairs and I immediately went to assist her.

Anna POV

As I went back to the farm house. I couldn't help but cry. I didn't want leave. I didn't want to leave Jeremy, but I spent so long wanting my mother back, I couldn't let her slip through my fingers now, no matter how badly I wanted Jeremy.

I entered through the back door of the farm house and I walked into the living room and found my mother and Harper speaking and collecting luggage at their feet. My mother looked up at me and smiled, she automatically knew my decision. I then went upstairs to get my luggage when I heard a scream. It came from my mother.

So I hope you enjoyed. I will try to update soon and please remember to review.
