Part 4:
After Bonnie smoothed things over with her parents she went
upstairs to start packing so she wouldn't have to do it last
minute like she normally did. It was only 9:00 so Bonnie decided
to go out.
She grabbed a sandwich and took it with her. This time she took
the car and went out for a drive. She wasn't sure where she was
going to go but she had the urge to go.
Not really paying attention to where she was headed she just let
her instincts lead her. In about half an hour she pulled up to a
building just outside the city.
"Where am I?" she wondered aloud. Of course she got no answer so
she decided to see what the building was for. She went up and
knocked. The place looked fairly deserted and wasn't in the best
of repair.
Bonnie nearly jumped out of her skin when the door opened. She
hadn't really been expecting any one to be there.
"Oh, hi Quinn. What are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same thing," he said motioning for her to
come inside.
"I don't know, I went for a drive and ended up here. Your turn."
Bonnie looked around what she figured was a living room. There
was a hearth and three folding chairs.
"This is where..." he started before another voice interrupted
him.
"Who is it Quinn?" a feminine voice carried from somewhere in the
house.
"I'm not interrupting something important, am I?" Bonnie asked
raising her eyebrows.
"Nah, she's not important. It's Bonnie," he answered, the last
bit yelled.
"I heard that," the voice snapped. A girl about 19 walked into
the room and sat in the chair next to Bonnie. She was about
5'6'', had frosted brown hair and creamy milk skin with a hint of
a tan. "I'm Raven Johnson."
Bonnie shook the girl's extended hand and felt raw power coming
from it. A lot of power.
"What are you?" Bonnie asked. Raven laughed, it was a common
question. Even 'shifters had a hard time guessing exactly what
she was.
"I'm half lamia and witch."
"A powerful witch at that," Bonnie muttered.
"Yes, but when you get properly trained you'll be a great rival,"
Raven told her, flashing a mischief smile.
"We all know the games you like to play," Quinn muttered.
"You're just mad because you're still sore from my last game,"
Raven retorted laughing hard at the face Quinn made. Bonnie
laughed too, even if she wasn't sure exactly why, but Raven was
the type of person who pulled you into their moods.
"Anyway, Bonnie, who'd you see?"
"Huh?" Bonnie asked shocked by the question.
"I implanted the thought for you to come if you were contacted by
anyone of the Night World races and you guys talked about it."
"You did, did you. So that's why I came here," Bonnie said with a
shrug. Then she went on to tell Quinn and Raven about the New
Salem witches.
"Ha!" Raven fairly shouted. "No wonder we didn't even find one
witch there. They all left!" She was laughing again and Bonnie
got the feeling that Raven loved to laugh, even if something was
only slightly funny.
They talked for awhile about that and pretty much anything. Raven
had plans on going to visit the witches the next day and she
promised to pick up Bonnie on the way.
Bonnie didn't get around to leaving until 10:30. Her parents had
said they wanted her home by 11, or around there. Because she was
leaving so soon, they claimed. Bonnie would bet otherwise.
The next day Raven was at Bonnie door at 11:00 sharp. She kicked
Quinn out of the front seat of the rental car so she could 'talk
to Bonnie easier.'
"He's a pain after awhile. All gloomy and stuff," Raven confided
in a low voice to Bonnie with a giggle.
"Why?" Bonnie whispered back. She could tell Quinn could hear
them because she could feel his eyes glowering at her back. It
didn't really matter to her though.
"He misses his soulmate. Who is going to meet us on the plane,
right?" Raven asked over her should, finally raising her voice.
"Yeah, she has a connecting flight," Quinn replied.
"What's a soulmate?" Bonnie wondered aloud.
"You meet a person one day and you feel, like this glowing spark,
because your souls are connected by the powers of love, bound
eternally," Raven said pausing for breath. "You touch, and you
just know. You've gotten back your other half. It's the most
wonderful feeling in the world."
"Except when you're apart," Quinn muttered sullenly.
"Have you found yours?" Bonnie asked Raven.
"We are here," Raven said in her best imitation of Winnie on
Hocus Pocus. She nodded to Bonnie with a knowing smile as she got
out of the silver Saturn.
"What did she know?" Bonnie thought to herself.
Bonnie led the way up to the room she had been in and knocked.
Nick answered with a dark face. He looked like he had just come
from the shower and was drying his hair and didn't have a shirt
on. Bonnie looked him up and down with an appraising look. He had
a delicious looking six-pack.
"What do you want?" he demanded. "And who are you two?"
"We want to speak with your Circle," Quinn replied in an angry
silky voice. "You'll find out who we are then." Two rumpled blond
heads popped into view and Bonnie recognized them as the
Henderson twins. They looked as if they had just woken up.
"I remember you," Doug said with a twisted grin looking at
Bonnie. She shivered, spooked by the smile.
"I'll get the others, you wait here," Nick ordered, pausing to
throw on a shirt. Raven gave Bonnie a pouting look and gestured
at Nick's retreating back. Bonnie giggled and nodded.
