"Did you get the devil out?" Bonnie asked. She was trying hard to keep a straight face.
"Oh, it was hard. The harder we strike the harder he professed his love for Abby. Lord have mercy. This devil was something else. Wicked. But we won with the help of our Sheppard we chase him out of Silver Lake that night people were asking us why we hitting this white boy. I lied and said he touched Sheila's daughter down there. They joined in when they heard that. I was ashamed that I lied and I prayed for forgiveness on the spot but we needed the young ones to catch him for us. We never saw him again after that. Abby was so mad she locked herself in her room all week talking about how we embarrassed her. I said to Sheila let her ass stay in that room where it belongs. The streets are no place for a girl."
"Aunt Greta can you tell me who is the father of." Bonnie could not finish the question it was too hard for her. She covered her face with her hands and cried softly.
Aunt Greta wiped a tear from her face and looked at Bonnie with soft motherly eyes. "Child there were many stories and none of them I believe are true. Abigail is the only one who can answer all your questions."
Aunt Greta placed her hand softly on Bonnie's hand. "They say what's in the past is in the past best to look forward to the future but sometimes you have to go back and open up old wounds for it to heal it is only then that you can look forward to the future."
Bonnie nodded her head slowly as tears rolled down her face.
"We all come back to Mystique Lake one way or another child. This town has a way of calling all his children back." Aunt Greta said deep in thought.
"Thank you Aunt Greta I know I never said this before but thank you for all the times you have been there for me and Grams."
Aunt Greta clicked her tongue. "The way your thanking me is like I'm going to die soon. Its not my time I still got some house cleaning to do before I can see Sheila and May."
Bonnie laughed softly and kissed the old woman on the cheek. "Goodbye Aunt Greta."
"Goodbye child and can you please tell my grandson Brixton he must tell his wife that she can stop sending me those dry old scones. I know what's she's trying to do. I ain't choking on nothing."

Bonnie decided to make a quick stop at the grocery store before heading home. She felt like cooking one of Sheila's favourite dishes tonight. Her family can't eat takeaways every night.

Bonnie was just about to reach out and take the jar of pickles from the shelve when Jade spoke behind her. "I'm sure you've heard by now what happened Mrs Salvatore." Jade said and looked Bonnie up and down like something the cat just dragged in and standing next to Jade was Richa Malloney. Richa Malloney went to school with Bonnie and the others. She was blond, rich, beautiful, mean and self-centred. In high school she point blank told Bonnie that Damon took her virginity and that she, Jade and Damon had a threesome on her father's yacht one drunk night.
This was the last thing Bonnie wanted a run in with Jade and Richa Malloney. "Jade do you really think I care what happens in your life. Stop being so delusional." Bonnie said and pushed her shopping trolley away from them but Jade put her hand on it.
"Not so fast Mrs Salvatore." Jade said with sarcasm. "You know how fast news travels in this town. We heard Abigail Bennet is back in town must have been a sweet reunion seeing mommy for the first time in forever."
Bonnie's hands clutched into fists. She felt like beating that sick smile from Jade's face.
"Ladies, ladies calm down. Why do you people always want to settle your differences violently." Richa said with a sweet cold fake smile.
"Excuse me? You people?" Bonnie said in a low icy voice at Richa.
Jade and Richa laughed softly. "Stop being so sensitive Bonnie. Jade is black too I didn't mean it like that. Anyway, Bonnie I just want you to know that the people are starting to talk about you not showing up at your husband's side at fund raising events. Did Damon tell you that? I hope you guys aren't having any problems in paradise also there are complains about you not doing your duty as the head of the elite women's club. I had to take up your duties in your absence Bonnie not that I'm complaining." Richa said in a cold voice with a big smile.
"Say hi to Abigail for me." Jade said with a gleeful smile.
Bonnie watched the two women walk away and decided to let it go. They' re not worth her time or energy.
The Salvatore Home
Kenzie and her two friends Stacy and Estelle were up in her room chilling and listening to some music. Kenzie really drilled her cheerleading squad today at practice sweat was literally dripping from their bodies when she was done with them.
"So, I have decided to go all the way with Rick." Stacy said with a naughty smile.
"I thought you already went there I mean you did sleep with Warren last Saturday after you just met him." Estelle said.
"At least I don't suck guys of in a toilet." Stacy snapped.
"Mitch was my boyfriend and when you love someone you will do anything to please them." Estelle snapped back.
"Your boyfriend for like three days wow that's true love right there." Stacy said with a gleeful smile.
"Whatever! anyway Kenz so, is your grandmother still here? I heard she's back." Estelle said excited.
"Shut up both of you." Kenzie said. She couldn't wait to call Zoe and tell her about Abigail.

Bonnie was busy in the kitchen making a mess of the food she was cooking. The twins were sitting at the kitchen table throwing their ice cream all over the place. "No, no, no something is burning." Bonnie said and rushed to the oven. It was too late. The chicken was ruined.
"That's what you get Bonnie Bennet when your mind is in too many places." Bonnie said to herself.
"Mommy ice cream." Caden said with an adorable smile.
Bonnie could not help but to laugh. "Oh, sweetie I don't think we can have ice cream for dinner." She said and kissed him on the mouth.
"Hey mom are you trying to burn down the kitchen." Dylan asked with a smirk.
Bonnie sigh out loud. "Looks like it. I'm sorry we going to have takeaways again tonight."
"Did someone say takeaways. I ordered pizzas. Hey babe." Damon said and kissed Bonnie on the cheek. He then kissed the twins who were very happy to see their dad.
"You guys know what will go good with pizza? Burgers and French fries. Oh yeah! I'm ordering that. Its on me." Dylan said over his shoulder as he walked out of the kitchen.
"See we got this under control." Damon said and kissed her in her neck.
"I'm going to take a bath with the twins and Aslan like you said you got this under control so you don't need me." Bonnie said and stepped away from him but,
Damon pulled her back gently to him and kissed her softly on her lips. "Hey come here, we will always need you. This house and our lives can't run without you Babe. This thing with your mother don't let it get you down. If your ready go talk to her.
