~Bonnie~
I awoke from the sun spilling into the room. I sat up slowly clutching the covers o my bare body. Looking over I noticed Stefan laying there sleeping peacefully.
Okay so it wasn't a dream?
I was happy to see he didn't get up and leave in the middle of the night leaving me alone. I slowly slid out of bed and went into the bathroom to get a shower.
Afterward I got out wrapping a towel around me. My red hair seemed to have some curl to it still but not much. I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked at my bare neck where there would usually be a set of bite marks with a bruise. Then I felt a set of arms weave around my waits startling me. I started o feel unsure about everything all of the sudden. I couldn't explain it all that well. But something seemed wrong or was it my mind playing with me? I was sure Stefan could tell.
"What is it?" he asked
I pulled away.
"I don't know. It's jus maybe…" I trailed off
"There is nothing saying we can't be together." he said taking my hand
"I…I'm not like them. I'm not special."
"Look Bonnie I didn't want Katherine because she was special. And Elena was the past I was trying to keep a hold of when I should've just let it go. And because of that past I was chasing in hopes of keeping I ran right past what my future should be." he said
"Oh really? And what future would that be for someone who lives forever?" I asked
He grinned slyly. Then he wrapped his arms around my waist picking me up off the floor.
"Put me down!" I said laughing
"No I don't think so." he said still grinning
He dropped me on the bed.
"I think I'm going to keep you right here." he said kissing my neck
"Nope not when I have classes in an hour." I said giggling
"Well you're no fun."
"Usually I would say that about you but you make it hard."
I got up then started looking through my dresser for clothes. I pulled out a set of jeans and a dark green tank top. Then I started searching around for my hightops which have decided to mysteriously disappear. So I quickly grabbed my flipflops and started out the door. Then I paused.
"You'll be here when I get back won't you?" I asked
"Why wouldn't I be. I mean you did offer me to stay."
"Just making sure I guess."
Then I turned and left.
~Stefan~
I didn't think it was possible. But I had her. I didn't have to fight back everything inside me anymore. Getting dressed I figured while she was in her classes I'd go hunting. It just seemed like it was a good time. I locked the door behind me and took the elevator down.
I started up my bike. As I started to go I hit the brake hard nearly hitting someone who just popped up in front of me. I knew he was the black cat I saw a few days before. He had the same dark feeling.
"It's your fault."
I got off the bike and took a step toward him. It was as if this person had power oozing off of him.
"You made her impure. Now I can't get her back." the guy continued
"What are you talking about?" I asked uneasily
He grabbed me by the throat.
"I will get Beth back and you won't stop me! She's mine not yours and I'll be damned if she falls back into the hands of your kind!" he yelled
I grabbed his hand on my throat and pulled him off.
"I don't know who you are or what the hell you want. But I'm warning you stay away before you get yourself killed." I warned
"If anyone is to die it will be you."
Then like that he was gone.
Go figure I finally find some sort of balance and something comes along to ruin it.
I looked around for a few seconds then ran. I needed to be at full strength if that guy decided to attack. Who was Beth anyways? Something was wrong. After thinking for a few minutes it came to me. He knew Bonnie. He must have or he wouldn't have come after me. Did she know something I didn't? I'd have to ask when she got back.
~Bonnie~
I couldn't even concentrate throughout the hour and a half of class. I just ended up doodling instead of taking notes. I could others whispering behind me. I could tell they were talking about me but I couldn't hear all of what they were saying. Then I turned around to face them.
"Talk a little louder I don't think everyone can hear you." I said to them
They just stared at me. I smiled sarcastically then turned back around rolling my eyes. The whispering had stopped.
After class I walked out to find Eli standing there with a grin.
"Well look who it is." I said
"Nice to see you too." he said
"So where have you been?" I asked
"I was sick?" he tried
"Haha very funny." I said playfully hitting him
"Just seemed like you had an old friend to catch up with is all."
It seemed he didn't really like Stefan all that much when I was talking about him. It was as if it got him jealous and angry. But I didn't understand.
"Look just be careful. I wouldn't want you to get hurt by yet another vampire. Not to mention it's disturbing as it is." Eli said
"Why?"
"It's like necrophilia. I mean he is dead."
I couldn't help it. I busted up laughing and nearly fell over. But he was serious.
"I just don't suggest you get serious with him Beth."
"Beth!" I said alarmed
He looked over at me a little alarmed knowing he was busted.
"Oops." he said grinning evily
Think quick Bonnie!
I mumbled something quick under my breath then held my hand up as a flash of light flew out of my hand. It circled me. It was my way of trying to protect…myself. Then I turned an d ran across the street.
Just get to the elevator for starts. You have to get him on your grounds Bonnie and your grounds happen to be up about 7 floors.
Eli was on my heels.
"Why run? You know the outcome." he said behind me
I just kept running with the bright light still circling me. Then all of the sudden something flew my way. The light blocked it but got a little dimmer. I ran into the elevator repeatedly hitting the button for my floor. I saw Eli coming in not far behind as the elevator started to close he reached out for me. I screamed ducking from him.
"You won't escape again!" he yelled
I tried to steady my breath.
Oh god! Stefan! Help! Help me! I called out mentally.
The elevator opened and I darted to my door. I pulled out my key ring shakily trying to fit the key into the lock. Then getting inside I looked around. I had to have something around here I could use to provide a bigger protection spell. Because mine was getting dimmer and dimmer.
"Face it I'm more powerful than you. But that won't be the case for long love so don't worry." Eli said making me jump
I took a step back from him. He grinned. I picked up a knife out of the sink and through it at him. But like that he disappeared and was behind me. He grabbed me by the waist and covered my mouth as I started to scream. I tried to wiggle out of it. Then I just hit toes and he let go of my waist. I then hit him in the solar plexus making him fall backwards crashing into a table. I started to run but he had grabbed me by the hair and flung me across the room. It knocked the breath out of me. I tried to stand and catch my breath but had no luck. I felt something dripping. I felt my forehead and flinched. I had a cut and it was beginning to sting. Eli was now standing over me.
"You never did like to do anything the easy way." he said
I scrambled backward but there wasn't anywhere to go.
Oh no I'm trapped.
Then everything went dark and numb.
