Chapter 10

Grace sat in the chair staring at the forests. She didn't know how she was going to explain this to them. They were going to be furious but she had to tell them because if they had found out from someone else that would be it for her. Though she had to admit she wasn't really scared of them, but had liked them. They had convinced her to do this in the first place.

She thought about the day she met them. Well she didn't really meet them they were inside her head when she found Kyle and Adam with two other demons in the woods. They told her that her friend the witch had done it. Of course Grace didn't believe it because how could Bonnie do something that hurt her to the breaking point. But eventually they had convinced her that Bonnie was responsible for it. She wanted to see Bonnie and do some damage. She found Damon and Bonnie on a beach in Cali. There they were smiling and happy, it reminded her of her and Adam. Grace thought how could she just kill them then enjoy her life like it never happened. The witch should be suffering just like she was.

She watched as Damon and Bonnie had played in the water splashing each other. At that moment she figured that she didn't just want her to die she wanted her to suffer. That's when she went through her change and began her journey to Mystic Falls, Va.

As Grace picked up the phone to call them, she waited patiently and thought about how they were the ones to tell them everything she needed to know about Bonnie. They had told her everything about the witch that she had no clue about. Like where exactly she lived, who her best friends were, what family she had left, and the history of the Bennett line of witches.

At first Grace was surprised that someone could know so much about Bonnie because even when they were friends she had never told her that much information. She and Damon's answers for everything had always been vague. One time she had asked Damon what his brother's name was and he responded with, it doesn't matter. Now that she thought about it they had always been secretive. She was getting ready to think of other situations they were mysterious but someone finally answered the phone.

"Hello, we have a problem. Bonnie got to them." She listened on the other side as one of them spoke calmly; she assumed it was the man.

"We told you to keep them locked up with someone watching them?"

"I did but she and her group of friends helped them escaped. I thought you said they were all fighting." Grace waited to hear them get angry.

"Well I guess they made up. Where were you when they came?"

"I was…" She didn't want to tell them, it was bad enough she wasn't there. "I was getting something to eat."

"Now we have to get them back and kill them as soon as you see them."

"But they are expecting it now. The witch probably has found a way to make sure everyone is protected, with the help of the Salvatore brothers of course."

"I don't care. Get your ass back out there and get rid of them. This is what you wanted so get it done before we have to come and clean up your mess." He hung up the phone, making Grace angry.

She didn't see him in this God forbidden place trying to help her. She knew that she would need extra help now.

Bonnie sat in the Salvatore library reading through her Grams spell book. She thought maybe soon enough she could have one of her own, but then she thought Grams wouldn't mind if she added her own spells to it. Then it wouldn't be Grams it would be the Bennett's Spell book. Bonnie liked the sound of that.

She had been sitting in here since she woke up trying to find a way to get rid of Gracie. Killing her wasn't going to be a part of the plan, but she had to be ready just in case she had no choice. She was thinking of a plan so that it could just be over with. Bonnie was about to grab another book when the smell of pancakes filled the air. Following the smell she ended up in a kitchen with Caroline and Elena.

"Good Morning." She said sitting at the island in the kitchen.

"Hey Bonnie, what are you reading?" Elena asked flipping over the pancake.

"Uhh, the spell book, I figured that I better prepare myself for anything and everything when it comes to Grace. She can be just as devious as her brother." Elena smiled as she began to pour the batter in the pan. Bonnie looked over to Caroline who was getting the orange juice out the fridge. Once Caroline had caught her looking she gave her a small smile.

"Caroline can we talk." Bonnie asked placing the spell book on the table.

"I'm helping Elena with breakfast right now." She then saw Matt appear. "Good morning sweetie."

"Morning ladies." He greeted them going over to give Caroline a kiss.

"Please." Bonnie asked. She knew she shouldn't be begging to talk to her but she wanted to know how she felt about the whole situation. She had spoken and made up with everyone except her. Matt looked between the two and he wanted her to go.

"Can you go Care? I'll help Elena with the rest." She looked at him and he could tell she didn't want to talk to Bonnie.

"Yeah Matt can help. He's no Bobby Flay but I'm sure he can scramble eggs and pour drinks." Elena said holding the box of eggs to him.

"Okay." She placed the juice carton down and they went out the back door. Bonnie mouthed thank you to Matt and Elena as she followed.

When they got outside, Caroline sat on the bench as she waited for her to start. "Look Caroline, I don't know why you are still mad at me. So I wanted to know could you tell me."

Caroline crossed her arms over her chest. Bonnie didn't know if that was a good or bad thing but she waited patiently until she spoke. "I wasn't wrong. You were the reason Matt had got taken."

"Yeah but I got him back."

"That doesn't change the fact you came in my house telling me that I didn't care about the safety of my husband."

"You're right Caroline and I apologize. It was wrong for me to say that."

"But you said it any way. That was one of the worst things someone could say to me and it only added on to the fact that you left five years ago without so much as a good bye." Now Bonnie could see her real feelings were surfacing. "Then I learn that you have been talking to Matt all this time but didn't want to talk to me."

"I tried to call you and you wouldn't answer my calls. You said you wanted nothing to do with me."

"That doesn't mean you couldn't try anyway."

"You wanted me to call you all the time even if you didn't answer. That's crazy."

"Maybe I would have eventually answered but now we'll never know. It would have showed me that you did in fact care about me."

"You know I do, and dozens of phone calls a month shouldn't have to tell you that." Bonnie was looking around really trying to understand Caroline's feelings.

"I have no way of explaining to you how I feel. You wouldn't understand." She got up and was moving to walk in the house.

"Why because I have never felt like that before, No offense Caroline but what you are trying to explain to me doesn't make any damn sense. I have lost more people I care about than you can count on one hand and some of them I was lucky enough to get back. But you have no idea what it's like to be me right now. You have never felt the emotions I have felt in past six years. Both my parents are dead and my grams; I am the only member of my family left alive today. I don't have a home or fiancé, I am not a housewife I'm not planning a wedding. The person I loved more than anything I left because of a doubt in the back of my mind." Caroline knew that Bonnie was beyond angry as she screamed at her. For some reason she could feel everything the witch was feeling. "I have no one left in my life. No one who I can confide in, the young women who were once my best of friends have moved on with their lives. Even the jocks have better things going for them than me."

Bonnie was calming down now as she finished, "I can't keep apologizing to you or asking you to forgive me. It just takes too much energy which I don't have a lot of these days. If you can't accept my apology, then we should just stop trying because I can't do this."

Caroline knew that she should just accept and have the friend she missed so much back in her life, but something just wouldn't let her do it. "I'm sorry Bonnie I can't change the way I feel."

"Well, I'm sorry too." Bonnie said turning and walking into the garden that sat in the back yard. She walked to a patch of white tulips and purple lilies, taking a seat in front of them. She grabbed one that was a little limp and thought happy thoughts. , The days when Caroline and Elena use to have sleepovers or all of them would go to the movies. She opened her eyes to see that the flower now stood erect and blossomed. If only everything had been this easy.

Damon came downstairs to see his brother and the dog sitting on the couch. He had no idea what they were talking about and truthfully didn't care. Walking into the kitchen he saw Elena, Caroline and Matt. "It smells good in here. Good enough to eat."

"Glad you think we did a good job cooking." She smiled at him placing the plates on the table.

"I wasn't talking about the food." he said staring at Caroline's neck.

"Don't try it." Matt said catching his eyesight.

"Don't worry, I promised someone I wouldn't do it to anyone she knows and I keep my promises." Elena smiled and went into the living room to get Ty and Stefan.

"So where's the lovely witch? I went into her room and didn't see her." Matt looked at Caroline who continued to look down. "I know you all heard me."

"She's outside." Caroline said finally looking up. Damon could tell something wasn't right.

"What happened?" Neither of them said anything, which only made him worry more. "What the hell happened?" Stefan had walked into the kitchen trying to understand what was wrong with him.

"Damon calm down. They said she was outside."

"I know that but I want to know why and don't say it's nothing because looking at her I can tell it was something."

"We got in a little argument; she went to sit in the garden." Damon was about to say something when Bonnie appeared in the back door.

"I'm fine, Damon. I could hear you all the way outside." She said moving towards the counter where everyone was staring at her. "Are we going to eat?"

"Yeah." Elena said, as everyone moved to the table. They sat down and began to dig in.

"This is good." Tyler said stuffing his mouth.

"Whoa there Ty." Elena said with a smile on her face. "You can't just throw it down." Caroline asked Matt for the syrup. Stefan noticed that everyone at the table had been included in the conversation besides Bonnie. She had actually not said a word since they sat down at the table.

"Bonnie are you okay?" He asked which resulted in everyone looking over to her. "You haven't eaten a thing or said anything."

She played with the food on her plate until she dropped it and looked at everyone. "I have been thinking about something. You guys all have something great going for you. Matt and Caroline are getting married, Stefan and Elena plan to, Tyler is working on becoming mayor of Mystic Falls. Who would have thought?" Every one watched her trying to understand where she was getting to. "You guys have homes and jobs. You pretty much live normal lives here, half of you being supernatural."

"What are you saying?" Matt said now afraid to where his friend was going.

"I have grown away from all of you and your lives have been great, until I returned."

"Bonnie, don't say what I think you're about to say." Damon said.

"What is she about to say?" Elena asked getting scared as well.

"I'm leaving Mystic Falls, again." Everyone was surprised at this revelation.

"What about Grace?" Caroline asked.

"I'll leave when I'm finish with her of course." No one was eating now.

"Bonnie that's crazy we just got you back and now you're leaving again?" Elena asked. Bonnie knew this was going to happen and she was prepared for everything they threw her way.

"I'll keep in contact this time with everybody."

"Bullshit." Damon said staring at her.

"Listen I wasn't really asking for any of your opinions. When this is all over I am leaving."

"Is that the only reason why or is there something else?" Stefan said looking down at her.

She sighed then breathed in, "Besides what I already said. I feel like I don't belong here anymore. There is no one here for me anymore. All my family is dead, the people who cared for me unconditionally. With them gone this just isn't home anymore to me. I don't have one."

"Is that what you think, really?" Damon said his body fully facing her. "You think none of us give a damn about your well being. If that was the case you wouldn't be staying here and we wouldn't be helping you to get rid of this red head bitch."

"I..."

"I'm not done yet." Bonnie sat back as he continued. "For a smart person, you could be the biggest dumbass. If you think we don't care. If you think I don't care, then the last three years was nothing right. I mean nothing to you."

"I'm not saying that."

"If you leave that's exactly what you are saying." He waited for her to say something but she didn't. He got out of his chair, grabbing his leather jacket out of the living room and leaving.

There was silence at the table. No one knew what to say. So Bonnie thought she needed to get out of the house for a while.

"I'm going to stop by my house to pick up a few things. I'll be back later." she pushed herself out the chair and left, leaving everyone with something to think about. Bonnie didn't want to leave her friends, it was the last thing she wanted to do but it had to be done.

Bonnie had been gone for two hours now. It was about one o'clock when she decided to make her way back over to the boarding house. She knew that being out alone wasn't a good idea for her but she had been on alert. Her eyes were on the road in front of her when she heard the voice. I'm coming for you, Bon. She looked over to see Gracie sitting in the passenger seat. I'm going to kill them both and save you for last. Blinking she looked back to the chair to see Grace was gone. Her phone began to ring, she looked at the caller I.D. and it said Stefan.

"Hello?" She sounded scared.

"You sound like you just witnessed a murder. Is everything fine?" He asked concerned on the other side.

"Grace was just in my car."

"Is she still there?"

"No she wasn't really here, if you understand what I'm saying."

"I don't. You mean you could hear her?"

"And see her then she disappeared."

"Where are you at we're coming to get you?" Before Bonnie could answer Grace was standing in the middle of the street and Bonnie swerved into a pole to miss her. Grace walked up to the window and looked in. You're all going to die. That was the last Bonnie heard before she slipped into the darkness.

Bonnie was sitting at the edge of the gurney in the emergency room. Thankfully there was no major damage done, though there was now a big bruise on her forehead. "Here you can take this for the head ache."

"Thank you, doctor."

"No problem. Next time make sure you get some sleep before you go out driving." She had told them she fell asleep at the wheel because it was no way he would believe a vampire ghost. She walked out into the waiting room to see Stefan and Elena sitting patiently until she came out. Elena came to her side wrapping her hands around her.

"Bonnie you had us scared for a moment." She said.

"I heard the screeching of the tires." Stefan added walking beside them as they made their way out. "When we got there the ambulance was already there."

"Where's my car?" Bonnie asked.

"Tyler drove it back to our house, said him and Matt would fix it." She looked at them. "Come on. We're going to take you back to the house."

A/N: So there you go. It was kind of a filler chapter until I think of something else to write.

In other news is anyone else excited that Vampire Diaries is coming back on in two days. I am. LOL. I can't wait for bad-ass Bonnie and Katherine. Even Tyler's story line is too exciting.

Sorry there is no preview for next chapter.

I hoped you enjoyed. Please review.
