Bonnie looked at Sam with pity in her eyes. "Let's go Stella there's nothing here for us."
"Don't you turn you fucking back on me Mrs Salvatore! Do you think your better than me? I love your son and he loves me."
"She's high on something Bonnie." Stella said softly.
"I know." Bonnie said with her eyes on the needle next to Sam's bed.
"You need help Sam I know a good rehabilitation centre I can get you in today. Do you think you will achieve anything in your life when you shoot this junk in your system!" Stella said hard.
"Shut your fucking mouth from me you don't know me." Sam yelled at Stella.
"I did came here to hurt you Sam. I wanted to permanently erase you from this world but now, now I feel sorry for you. Lost love is something I don't wish upon anyone so do us all favour and go home and get help. You need help Sam." Bonnie said.
"Head doctor help in simple English for you." Stella said slowly.
"Lets go Stella." Bonnie said.
"Take the advice Sam while you still can." Stella said and followed behind Bonnie.
"NO!" Sam screamed out loud. She picked up the knife from the floor and ran after Bonnie with it in her hand.
Everything happened in slow motion. Sam holding the knife in her hand. One minute she was on her legs. The next she was face down on the floor. In her mad angry rush after Bonnie she tripped over her own feet and fell on the blade of the knife. Her body twitched before it went completely still.
Both Bonnie and Stella stared at Sam's body in horror. It was Bonnie who quickly rushed to Sam carefully she turned her over. It was too late. Sam's eyes stared up lifelessly. Bonnie closed the death girl's eyes and looked up at Stella with wide eyes. "She's dead." Bonnie whispered in disbelief.
"Fucking bloody hell." Stella said and ran her fingers through her hair. "We got to leave Bonnie." Stella helped her up and together the two walk out clutching each others hands tightly.
It was by pure luck that they didn't find Becky in her office. Stella quickly dropped the key back into in the last drawer. When they walked out they found Becky heading their way with a bright smile.
Stella put on a fake bright smile and said. "Becky darling the mayor's wife and I will have to love and leave you. We absolutely love the place sorry we cant see the rooms right now. I will send my personal assistant to you tomorrow. Tata love." Stella said and she Bonnie quickly walked away from a still bright smiling Becky.
The two women walked to their separate cars knowing full well neither one of them can go home right now. Stella was about to start her car when she saw Jack slipping pass the gate of the apartments. He looked at her before he closed the gate. She knew that look. He knows and his here to clean up.
The Salvatore Home
Stephen's face showed utter shock as he looked at Aslan running playfully after the small little blue ball that the twins are kicking around in their room. He clutched Anna tighter to him.
"Put her down what's the worse that can happen." Damon said and bumped Stephen playfully with his elbow on the arm.
Stephen looked wide eye at Damon. "Now I have seen it all." He stuttered out.
Damon chuckled and said. "Look I had my doubts in the beginning but his harmless." Anna will love him."
Stephen covered little Anna's ears with his hands and whispered to Damon. "Are you fucking nuts. The whole town are looking for this lion and you keep it as a pet Damon does Bonnie know about this?"
Damon patted Stephen brotherly on the shoulder and said. "Oh she knows. She's the main girl campaigning Aslan's stay in this house."
"I ... I think I should take Anna back home."
"And break my kids hearts? How dare you brother." Damon said with a smirk. He was clearly enjoying himself teasing Stephen.
"Fine let's go to the park. You, me and the kids like normal dads." Stephen said.
"There is nothing normal about us Lucille." Damon said with a mocking smirk.
"I am not Lucille." Stephen whispered harshly.
"We'll I don't want to call you a scared little bitch in front of little Anna." Damon said and quickly stepped away from Stephen.
The twins came to their dad and uncle with cheery smiles. "Come Anna." Caden said and stood on his tippy toes trying hard to pull her down by the feet. Anna looked down at him and smiled. Drool dripped from her mouth and landed on Caden's cheek.
"Eeuw Anna!" Caden said and wiped his cheek. Anna giggled and looked at her dad and than back at Caden.
Aiden pulled his dad's hand and said. "Daddy can we play?"
Damon looked at Stephen with a raised brow. Stephen sigh and said. "Don't make me regret this." The twins cheered as their uncle strapped Anna lose from him in her baby carry bag.
...
Baily found Kenzie, Stacy and Estelle outside by the pool. "Hi girls" she greeted them with a smile.
"Hey you! so glad you're here now you can spend the whole day with us." Kenzie said.
"Shouldn't you be at work?" Stacy asked with a frown.
"Jeez Stacy she can't work all the time what is with you." Estelle said annoyed.
Kenzie just glared at the both of them. She than turned to Bailey and said. "We are all going to the lake tonight. There are a some cute guys I want to introduce you to. You can't say no we never spend any time together and its about time you get out and meet guys and girls your age."
"If its okay with my dad I will go with you girls." Bailey said with small smile. She didn't feel like going out but she didn't want to hurt Kenzie's feelings.
Kenzie smiled brightly and said. "You leave my uncle to me. His a big softy when it comes to me."
"That is so true." Stacy said. She took a beer out of the six pack on the table and handed it to Bailey but Bailey smiled and shook her head no. "Sorry I do not drink."
"Get out! You never had any alcohol in your life? What a damn shame Bailey. You are missing out." Stacy said with a shock face.
"Stacy do you want another glass of pool water?" Kenzie asked coolly.
Stacy blushed beet red and shook her head no.
"There's juice in the fridge Bailey. Stacy go and get the juice for my niece." Kenzie said.
Bailey was quickly up and said. "Its okay I can go get it myself Kenz, please you don't have to go Stacy." Bailey said when see saw Stacy getting up from her pool sofa. Bailey excused herself and left the girls to go get her a glass of juice.
Estelle smiled gleefully at Stacy and said. "You know what Kenz I like your cousin already."
"Do you want a glass of pool water too Estelle?" Kenzie asked with a raised brow.
Estelle cleared her throat and mumbled no. This time it was Stacy smirking widely.
"Good so shut up." Kenzie said and closed her eyes. She enjoyed sun tanning in silence and Stacy and Estelle knows better than to open their mouths.
Bailey was delighted by the delicious natural fruity taste of Zoe's home made juice. She pour herself another full glass and took a big drink from it.
"I know the feeling its nice isn't it?" Alex asked behind her with a smirk.
Bailey blushed beet red and closed the fridge door with a guilty look on her face. "I'm sorry."
"Hey you've got absolutely nothing to be sorry for by all means have as much juice as you like. Zoe will be so happy to hear how much you enjoy her juice." Alex said to her. He walked to the fruit basket on the table and picked out a big red apple.
"Its really good. How does she make it? I can taste the different fruits but there is something more that I can't place." Bailey said.
Alex smirked and said. "Its love. That's the secret ingredient. That's what she's telling us anyway."
Bailey laughed softly and said. "I can believe that your sister have a heart of gold."
"That she does. So, it must be quiet in the house now that my two crazy cousins went back to campus." Alex said.
"Yes it is. I'm going to miss them." Bailey said with a soft smile.
"Josh said your going back to college next year."
Bailey nodded her head yes. "Yup I'm just taking this year off with my mother being sick and we moving here it disrupted everything but I'm not complaining everything worked out fine. My mother's health is no longer in danger and I like the town and my job. My new found family and of course my dad."
"I'm really happy for you Bailey that you settle in nicely."
"Thank you Alex." Bailey said with a soft smile. "So, when are you going back to Boston. Not that I'm rushing you or anything I'm just curious."
Alex chuckled and said. "I don't know to be honest but what I do know is that I'm leaving this town soon."
"And go where?" Bailey asked confused.
Alex shrugged his shoulders and said. "Maybe Texas or France or both of them. A tour around the world is what I need."
Bailey looked at him with soft sad eyes. "Alex I know its not any of my business but if I can give you a bit of advice. Do not quit your studies. I've heard how intelligent you are. You help and lecture your fellow students in your free time. Not many of us will do that. You have such a high IQ level and with your knowledge you can change the world someday. You can always tour the world after you completed your studies."
"I'm just so confused right now." Alex said.
"Whatever it is you will overcome it just believe in yourself a little more." Bailey said and lay her hand softly on his arm.
"Oh here you are. Kenzie send me to see where you are. I hope I'm not disturbing anything." Stacy said with a fake smile. Her eyes rested on Bailey. She didn't like Bailey standing so close to Alex. She will bring this up with Kenzie later. Stacy thought to herself.
"I'm sorry I kept you girls waiting."
"Oh you don't have to say sorry to me. Kenzie is the one you should say sorry to." Stacy said with a sweet fake smile.
"Thanks again Bailey maybe I'll see tonight at the party." Alex said with a smirk.
"Maybe she won't be there but you will definitely see me there Alex." Stacy said with a flirtatious smile. "Bailey we must go never let Kenzie wait that's rule number one."
"Oh Okay I will note that down somewhere." Bailey said with playful wide eyes. "Bye Alex see you later."
"Have fun." Alex said with a smirk.
The Lake
Bonnie and Stella picked a quiet spot to rinse their hands in the water.
"This just went to a whole different level." Stella said with a worried look.
Bonnie nodded her head and said to Stella. "She didn't do it Stella. Did you see the room she was staying in? I don't think she had the money to afford that room in the Plaza hotel. Where will she get the fake idea? Sam didn't know people here. All I'm saying is that I'm sure Sam didn't do it." She scooped up water and rinse her face again.
"Which means Amy lied to us she knows something." Stella said deep in thought.
"She's hiding something to safe her own skin. Whoever that is invoked the fear of the devil on her. We need to find out who the puppet master is that's pulling the strings." Bonnie said.
Stella shook her head. "Shit just got real. Think we should go to Jade next? I mean we are on the path of wiping out the crazies why stop now. Let's take out Jade next. Bitch will probably fall on one of her high heels with her mouth open or slip and fall with her head through her television screen. Imagine that!" Stella said and laughed hysterically.
Bonnie plopped down on her behind on the soft grass and looked at the crystal clear blue water of the lake. "It always images me how the colour of the water changes. Some days its crystal blue other days its dark and scary. It glows almost black at night. Grams always said never be alone down at the lake witching hour. That is when the devil's playtime starts and his out searching for souls to take with him down the lake." Bonnie said softly.
Stella quickly plopped down next to Bonnie with wide eyes. "Its day time and you have me all scared almost shitting my pants." Stella said with wide eyes.
Bonnie started to laugh softly ... Than it got louder and louder. Stella joined in and soon the two were doubled over with laughter.
"We're going mad!' Stella cried out with laughter.
"Its the shock." Bonnie said as tears of laughter rolled down her cheeks. Soon their laughs turned into sobs.
"So what happens now?" Stella asked after the two of them calmed themselves.
"We go find the truth. We go to Amy." Bonnie said with a hard determined look on her face.
Mystique Lake Shopping Mall
Kate enjoyed doing her shopping on Saturday mornings while Hendy spend time with Stewart and in their garden. Its not easy being the mayor's personal assistant and her weeks are full from Monday to Friday but come weekends she can take a deep breath and spend time with Hendy and Stewart and do her home shopping. She was about to head in to a second hand book store when she spotted a familiar figure in front of one of the mall's boutique stores. She pushed her trolley in that direction.
"Hi Jade." Kate greeted the woman. Jade turned back with a smile on her face and said. "Hi Kate I see you're also catching up on some much needed shopping time."
"That I do seeing that I hardly get time to do it during the week." Kate said with a smile.
"Damon did work us hard last night and I think he enjoyed it. He is such a workaholic." Jade said and rolled her eyes playfully.
Kate cleared her throat and said. "He just want to do his best for everyone."
Jade looked at Kate and nodded her head. "Off course you have to say nice things about your boss."
Kate smiled nervously and cleared her throat again.
"Are you okay Kate is there something wrong with your throat?" Jade asked with a frown.
"No, I am perfectly fine Jade." Kate said quickly. "Its just that something is bothering me. I'm going to say it straight to you Jade I don't like the way or the manner you talk with Damon. Its not professional at all."
"Excuse me Kate? What are you on about?" Jade asked with a raised brow.
Kate swallowed nervously and said. "You were flirting with Damon yesterday and that kind of behaviour will not be tolerated Jade so please keep your conducts professional at all times."
Jade was shocked she looked at Kate with wide eyes but than she suddenly smiled and stepped closer to Kate but Kate stood her ground. "Oh I see what's going on. Bonnie is your best friend and now you are foolishly protecting her and her husband from the wicked witch. Me. Right?" Jade said mockingly. "Listen Kate I'm going to let that slide just because I'm in such a good mood and pretend you never said that because I like you. You are not like Bonnie, Caroline and Stella you are far to good and sweet to be friends with girls like that. The longer you stay with them the more their bad influences is going to rub off on you."
"Now you listen to me Jade don't turn this into something ugly and please leave my friends out of this. This is between me and you and you know I'm right so in the future behave yourself around Mayor Salvatore. He is a married man and your boss." Kate said and looked Jade dead in the eye.
"I should bring this up with the board Monday morning see if you still have a job Kate. I'm not going to stand here and let you insult my character accusing me of flirting with Damon. You are so lucky I don't slap you right here but lucky for you I'm not the old Jade, so take your boring little home shop trolley and go home to your boring domestic life and rest in boring peace and wait for your friends to call you because everyone knows they are the only excitement in your boring life Kate Henderson." Jade spat out in her face.
Kate calmly took a tissue out of her handbag and delicately patted her face with it. "I will do that Jade I will go back to my boring domestic life so why don't you take your spit and fly off to your wonderful lonely life." Kate said with heated eyes. Her outburst shocked herself and Jade. Jade didn't expect this from the quiet sweet Kate.
"Now if you will excuse I have to go. You must have a nice day Jade." Kate said and pushed her shopping trolley pass a shocked looking Jade.
Amy's Place
Bonnie and Stella walked up the steps that leads to Amy's front door. "Curtains are closed. You sure she's home." Stella asked.
"There's only one way to find out." Bonnie said and knocked hard on the door. "Amy are you here? Amy we need to talk its the mayor's wife and her friend."
"The demoness in black and the Angel in white remember us from Mikes bar." Stella said. She put her ear to the door and shook her head no. "I don't think she's home."
"You know what that means." Bonnie said and looked back at the empty street.
"Breaking and entry my favourite hobby. I really recommend it to anyone who is as crazy as I am." Stella said with a wide smile.
"Let's see if there's any windows open at the back." Bonnie said. The two of them were about head to the back when Amy's neighbour peeked from behind her fence and said. "Excuse me but who are you?" the old woman asked.
Stella who didn't expect this shrieked out loud and said. "Jesus! You old hag you almost gave me a heart attack."
"Excuse me dearie what did you say I can't hear properly. Did you say something about Jesus?" the old woman asked with a confused look on her face.
"Yeah I said Jesus is coming so look busy." Stella said upset. She was fanning herself trying to calm herself.
Bonnie bumped Stella in the ribs. She smiled and walked closer the old woman. "We are looking for Amy do you know if she's home?"
"She said something about starting a new job today are you friends of her?" The old woman asked.
"Like that's any of your business." Stella said.
The old woman looked confused at Bonnie and said. "What is your friend saying dear?"
Bonnie cleared her throat and said. "She's just talking to herself. We are friends of Amy we thought we can do something special for her seeing that she was so down yesterday."
"That is so sweet of you dearie. Amy needs to be cheered up poor girl looks so down nowadays it breaks my old heart to see her sad little face all alone in this town with not a single friend but I'm here and I try my best to cheer her up with my cookies. Would you and your friend like some of my cookies? I baked it this morning." The old woman said with a friendly smile.
"No fucking thank you. Diarrhoea is a very serious offence in this town especially when you do it intentionally." Stella said with a sweet fake smile.
The old woman turned to Bonnie again and said. "What is your friend saying dearie?"
Bonnie smiled brightly at the old woman and said. "My friend said she will take all your cookies she just loves special home made cookies."
The old woman smiled brightly at Stella. She than turned to Bonnie as if a bright idea just crossed her mind. "You said you want to do something special for Amy. I have her house key. She usually leaves it with me when she goes out. Maybe you two girls can bake her something."
"Now that's a brilliant idea. My friend over there." Bonnie said and pointed at Stella. "She can bake one delicious cake. I'm sure Amy will love it."
"Oh goody. Excuse me dearie let me go get the key so that your friend over there can start baking Amy a cake." The old woman said.
"Please don't take a decade to go get the key." Stella called after the old woman.
Bonnie turned back to Stella and laughed softly. "Stella calm down she's just being a good neighbour."
"A nosy old woman. I will put myself away if I turn out like that." Stella said.
"I can't imagine you old and wrinkled." Bonnie said with a soft laugh.
"Me too." Stella said and laughed with Bonnie. The old woman came back and handed Bonnie the key. "Thank you so much for the key and can you keep our little surprise visit to Amy's place a secret? Don't tell Amy that we were here." Bonnie said to the old woman.
"Off course dearie. You can just slip the key under my front door when your done. Its time for me to take my nap."
"Enjoy it." Bonnie said and gave the old woman a friendly wave goodbye.
"Did she say nap? I think its rest in peace." Stella said to Bonnie.
Bonnie looked at the key in her hand and than at Stella. "Are you ready?"
Stella picked up a small brick and with a hard determined look she said. "Hell yeah now I'm ready."
