Thank you for all of the reviews you guys are amazing. I know i said the big bad would be in this chapter but then there came this part so it will come next chapter. I'm glad you like the story so on with the next chapter!
~Bonnie~
"No you can't come." I said for the fifth time
"Why not?" Shay whined
Shy and Shay were begging to come.
"Because Sage needs you to watch over the manor while we're gone." I said
"But-"Shy started
"No more buts you guys." I said
They tried the pouty look but I just laughed. It never worked on me not even when Damon or Elena would try it. It was the one thing I was immune to.
"Alright you little shifters leave bonnie alone." Sage said as he was coming back into the room
Standing I walked back to my room to get changed. What I was wearing now was making me out to look like a light bulb. Luckily there were darker colors in the closet. Shay and shy were still begging to go with. We all agreed they were definitely not going. It was way too dangerous and the twins had grown on us and we wanted to keep them alive. We didn't want any more death or danger but where we were going it could be inevitable.
Getting changed into a dark top. Sifting even deeper into the closet I saw something shiny. Pulling it out I saw it was a knife.
"Impressive." I muttered to myself
Seeing the shoes I wore here by the bed I moved to get them on then tucked the knife safely away in one of them. My nerves felt shaky like they always did and the sudden urge to want to vomit.
"Not today. You are not upchucking." I told myself
After taking a deep I headed back into the living room area where Stefan and Mesutora were watching Sage and Tyler get clung to by Shay and Shy.
"We ready to go?" I asked
"Yes." Sage laughed as he pried Shay off
Then he handed me a deep velvet green cloak. Taking it I set it on my shoulders and clasped the front. Mesutora wore a deep red one as well. I heard Tyler and the others make their way but I paused and looked back at the twins.
"We'll miss you." They said simultaneously
I smiled at them then turned and closed the door behind me. as soon as I stepped down I felt a hand at the small of my back.
"This way." Stefan said
He led the way towards three carriages that reminded me of the one in the Johnny Depp movie of Sleepy Hollow. Though there weren't horses in front of them. The creatures that pulled them were so gangrel and gross that it was hard to look at them let alone take my eyes off of them. They were like zombie versions of horses sort of but they had horns and their eyes were a red color. Such a red that it reminded me of blood.
"Don't be scared they're harmless creatures." I heard Sage say "Just dead things."
I just nodded as I stepped up into the carriage and Stefan stepped in behind. It was two people to a carriage except for Mesutora who preferred to be alone. She was in no way wanting to be that close to us.
"Bonnie." Stefan said as the carriage started moving
"I'm okay…everything will be okay. It has to be." I said
"It's okay to be scared." He said
"No…No it's not Stefan." I said biting back tears "I can't be scared. They need me. They need us and I can't be afraid."
"It'll be okay. We're all scared."
"Stefan…I can't be…I just can't." I said
He took me in my arms as I felt myself start to hyperventilate.
"We're all scared." He said
Sitting back I looked at him. It was strange. It was strange because I hadn't cried. I felt the want to cry but didn't. Stefan rubbed his hands along my arms reassuringly.
"We're getting them out." He said more seriously
It brought me back to the reason for all of the hell yet I had a feeling we hadn't even come close to what hell was. I was sure we were going to find out though. The carriages stopped abruptly. I could hear someone yelling up ahead.
"Search!" was all I heard
"That's our cue. We have to go." Stefan said quickly
Before I had a chance to react I was dragged out of the carriage as the opposite door was being opened. I wasn't sure what going on. When Stefan finally put me down we were both in the dark shadows of an alleyway.
"Why are they looking for us?" Tyler whispered loudly from behind making me jump
"Not sure." Sage answered
"Can we go?" I asked looking back
"We'll take the back way in." Sage replied
I just nodded and let him take the lead. But being a follower I wasn't able to stop and take a look around at the ugly place. It wasn't long before it started to rain though.
"Ugh are you kidding me!" I exclaimed
Tyler just chuckled.
"Don't like the rain Bonnie?" Tyler chuckled
As a matter of fact she didn't. It was making everything muddy and now my feet were aching and soaking wet. And this rain wasn't the typical. It was big droplets and heavy too.
"We're almost there." I heard Sage say as we turned a corner
As I turned that corner I froze and nearly fell forward into a mud puddle as Stefan ran into me. Luckily he caught me around the waist before I could. I found myself looking up at a huge house.
"Tell me that isn't it." I said over the rain
"Oh it is." Sage said
"That place is huge. We'll have to split up to look around that huge ass house or manor or whatever you call it." Tyler said
"We absolutely will not split up. There are things you'll only see in your nightmares in that place. It's like a prison. You might be able to get in but you'll be damned trying to get out." Sage said
"Well we're going to pull it off." I said
"Let's go in then." Mesutora said
"Wait." Stefan said stopping her in her tracks
"Why?" She asked snidely
"Just stop." He said
I knew why he said stop. I understood. Looking over at him I then looked over at Tyler. This was it. If we went in there was a chance we weren't coming out. This was the time to take that moment of silence people are always talking about. I never understood it then but I did now. It was to remember. Remember everyone who had left their fingerprints in our lives, to remember every mark we had made ourselves and hope it had an effect on the world in some way, to remember us. To think about them. Think about Elena and Caroline and Mrs. Flowers and even Damon, the people we love so deeply and would never give up on.
I fell to my knees during the silence.
I was never one for praying because I could never find a reason to believe, but tonight I was on my knees.
I looked up at the house. No one could every be ready and I had already found myself jumping here and there from some of the things I could hear coming from the grounds.
"If we're going to go we should go now or else we'll all turn back." Sage said breaking the creepy silence
I nodded then looked down at my stomach.
"It'll be okay…I promise." I whispered as I stood
~Damon~
I had been in my room for days. Every so often I'd hear a knock at the door but it was only Elena and she would go away. I barely ate not that I felt the need to eat.
Then there was another knock at the door and it was more urgent.
"Damon Salvatore you open this damn door or I'm coming in there!" Caroline yelled
I didn't move from where I sat on the balcony. It was where I kissed her and she finally let me. She let me love her that night and I'd never forget it. Then all of the sudden I heard the door bust open and Caroline came storming in. Always the drama queen that one. Then as she came out onto the balcony she shoved me off the balcony and the next thing I saw was the ground and me hitting it hard.
"Bitch." I grumbled as I stood
"You need to get off your ass and stop sulking. Try having a little faith you dumbass it's not like their dead!" she yelled down to me
I wanted to shout something back at her but was still trying to find the right words. Brushing myself off I walked inside with every intention of going back up to my room when I saw a young woman in the living room talking to Mrs. Flowers.
"Who the hell is she?" I snarled
"This is Adara. Her mother is an old friend of mine." Mrs. Flowers explained "She's a gypsy."
"So?" I hissed
"She can find them."
Okay see that button down there? You should press it and leave me a review just because you can. Haha
I'd really appreciate if you did so hit that button!
