Part 8:
Thea outlined the plan the girls had come up with.
"Thierry doesn't know we want to do this and you don't have to do
it unless you really want to," Hannah added.
"Well, I can try. It might work and it might not. Who all is in
on this?" Bonnie asked.
"Other then us are Delos, Jez, Mia [whose a newly joined witch]
Ash, Quinn and Raven," Illiana told her with a slight smile.
"Is this what came up?"
"Yes. We thought that if you'd agree to do it, it might work best
under the full moon, which is in two days," Thea said.
"We thought you'd like time to decide and set up or gather any
materials you might need," Keller added.
"I'll do my best."
"Hey, Quinn and Raven are coming in Friday morning instead of
Saturday. They finished doing what ever early," Ash announced
lounging ion the doorway.
"Where's Mary-Lynette?" Thea asked him.
"Out shopping with my sisters. Mark's around somewhere though."
"Who's Mary-Lynette?" Bonnie asked. The girls went upstairs with
Bonnie to help her unpack and filled her in on anything they
could think of. Especially who had a soulmate or not.
"You might want to make sure you know before trying to get a
date. Blaise was visiting once and this new couple had just
joined. She picked him up with a few spells and was going to have
him be her new toy for the week," Thea said with a laugh.
"The second she found out she went over and kicked her butt. And
the sad thing being that Blaise had just made friends with the
girl and totally ruined any hopes of keeping that relationship,"
Keller added. The four girls were fairly howling with laughter at
that and a bunch of other stories they told each other before
dinner.
Dinner, it turned out was anything but sitting down at a table
and serving yourself as everyone passed around the dishes. There
was a long bar in the kitchen that was simply loaded up with
food. You grabbed a plate and just grabbed stuff as you went by.
A lot of people did sit in the dinning room but just as many sat
all over the house. The first floor was where nearly everyone
was, sort of like a common curtsey thing. Dinner was when
everyone got together and people didn't want to half to go
traipsing all over the house looking for you.
Bonnie noticed that everyone did stay in the dining room after
they had gotten there plate. She asked Keller why.
"Thierry will say a few things, like a general announcements.
Just incase the grapevine missed a few people." Bonnie thought
that was a good arrangement.
"Okay everyone, I hope you've all been having a good day. Bonnie
McCulloughs is one of our newer members and will be staying here
for about a month so make her feel at home. She also found the
New Salem witches, most of who have decided to join Circle
Daybreak." There was some applause, Bonnie included because she
had hoped they would.
"Now as most of you know we have a busy week ahead of us because
the Powers are coming. Also the Maiden is visiting us around that
time."
"Why is he announcing it? I mean, what if one of the new members
is just a spy? Then the Night World can just pick them off as
they come," Bonnie asked Keller.
"That's just it. We expect to have some spies. If we didn't we'd
have to worry about the Council." Bonnie nodded, she caught what
Keller hadn't said and she thought it was a very good idea.
That was basically it so everyone started walking around as they
settled to eat. Keller had disappeared so Bonnie looked around,
trying to spot a familiar face. She found Thea in the crowd and
went over to her.
"Hi Bonnie, I want you to meet Eric." The blond said beaming as
she looked at a boy next to her.
"Hello, I hope this isn't too overwhelming for you. I know how
weirded out I was when I first came here."
"It isn't too bad. It's just I'm still used to thinking of nearly
every one as human. Talk about paranoia, like one in every five
people is it turns out."
"You'll get used to it," Eric told her with a laugh.
"Have you met everyone yet?" Thea asked.
"Not by a long shot."
"I'll introduce you to some people after dinner. How do you like
the chicken?" Eric asked with a mischief smile.
"It's delicious," Bonnie replied truthfully. It was some of the
best she had had in a while.
"Glad you like it. We take turns helping out the cook just to be
nice and I'm glad to claim that creation as my own. Family
recipe."
"You cooked it?" Bonnie asked with a giggle.
"Nobody believes I can cook!" Eric exclaimed getting up with a
wild gesture, nearly upsetting the plate he was holding. With
that he walked off muttering. After he stalked up the stairs
everyone started to laugh.
"Don't mind him. We all keep saying we don't believe he can cook
so he'll keep doing it in an attempt to prove us all wrong. I
don't think he's cooked a bad dish in his entire life," Thea
explained trying not to grin.
"Isn't that just a little mean?" Bonnie asked with a laugh.
"I know, but I've been ordered not to tell him."
The girls finished eating and cleaned up their plates. Thea
introduced Bonnie to James and Poppy, Mia, Galen (Which was where
Keller had disappeared to.), Rowan, Kestrel, Mark, Jade and Mary-
Lynette.
Then Bonnie remembered she had to go see Thierry. So she excused
herself and had Thea show her where his office was. Knocking
tentatively she thanked Thea.
"Cone on in," a voice called from the other side of the door
startling Bonnie. She opened the door and went in, closing it
behind her.
Thea outlined the plan the girls had come up with.
