Part 10:
The next day was uneventful except for the fact that Bonnie
discovered her magazine was missing. She didn't think much of it
and didn't even check to see if anything else was gone.
Thea went out with Bonnie and showed her around town. They
stopped by the Harman store to grab a few things then they were
off to lunch. They ate at a wonderful Chinese/Japenese
restaurant, Bonnie, thought it was fun to sit on the floor for
just that one meal. As long as she didn't have to do it that
often it was fine by her. A whole new experience.
The next day Bonnie drove to the airport to pick up Quinn. His
soulmate was still coming at the original time planned. Raven
was going somewhere with Damon but would be back at headquarters
later. Keller hitched a ride.
Bonnie got there pretty much on her own, remembering the route
she had taken the other day backwards helped, and Keller only had
to tell her which way a few times.
It didn't take them long to park but they had to hurry up none
the less in case the plane came in on time. The plane was only
ten minutes late. Bonnie scanned the crowd that came out of the
plane for to familiar faces.
Two came out, followed by a few more, then a couple others.
'What the…" Bonnie started to think before she realized the
Circle had come with Quinn and Raven.
It occurred to Bonnie that she hadn't seen Damon yet, she turned
to look at where she had last seen Raven and grinned.
"There he is," she murmured. Damon had picked up Raven and stuck
her over his head, like some sort of trophy. Then he lowered her
slightly and began to kiss her deeply. Apparently he didn't mind
PDAs.
"Hi Quinn, Diana, Cassie…{A/N she says all names their but I'm
lazy}" Bonnie said turning to them. Once again she felt some one
else's emotions. This time it was pent-up energy, restlessness,
and the urge to do something. She wished she knew where the
feelings were coming from.
"Hey Bonnie," most of them replied. Something along those lines
anyway.
"What are you guys doing here?" Bonnie asked. "Not that it's a
bad ting or anything…" Bonnie trailed off with a slight giggle.
"As a circle we've decided to join Circle Daybreak," Cassie told
her casting a glance at Faye. Faye raised her eyebrows
innocently.
"That's great. Umm, how are we getting all you people,
wherever?" Bonnie asked knowing there was no way so many would
fit in her car.
"It'll still be a little tight but me and Keller are going to
rent two other cars. You can follow behind us, ok Red?" Quinn
asked her.
"That's good, I'm not sure I know the way yet. I might end going
all over town. Who knows?" Bonnie asked with a giggle. Raven
laughed with her, making Bonnie jump because she hadn't heard the
two vampires come up behind her.
Raven was simply glowing and Damon actually looked happy. A
first in all the time Bonnie had known him.
"Hello Bonnie," Raven said warmly giving the curly redhead a hug.
"Hi Raven," Bonnie replied. "Hi Damon."
"Hello again," he said. "I hope you don't expect a hug from me,"
he said.
"Not with losing a pint or so of blood," Bonnie replied laughing
at the look on Damon's face.
"I wouldn't dream of drinking your blood," he said haughtingly.
"Not lately anyway," Bonnie muttered under her breath. She knew
Damon could hear her but she didn't really care.
"We will see you later tonight, Bonnie," Raven told her.
"Have fun," she replied as Raven and Damon turned, arm in arm.
Bonnie saw Raven give Damon a wicked, knowing grin before her
face was shielded by her hair.
Bonnie chuckled to herself as the group went to the car rental.
Chris gave her a weird look and turned to talk to his brother.
Bonnie couldn't catch it but she didn't really care.
Then Chris laughed and turned part way and looked her up and
down. Bonnie gave him the evil eye and he turned back around
quickly. They grabbed two more cars and went out to the parking
lot while they decided who would go in which car.
Chris, Doug, Nick and Sean were going in Quinn's car; Faye,
Deborah, Cassie and Adam were going in Keller's car; and Suzan,
Diana, Melanie, Laurel were going in Bonnie's.
Quinn was in the lead car, for Bonnie to follow and Keller
brought up the rear just in case Bonnie didn't see Quinn turn or
something.
They talked about everything and nothing as they drove there.
Bonnie pulled up the long, winding driveway and followed Quinn to
the garage.
The New Salem witches stood slightly awed. Or at least most of
them did. Nick stood off, slightly, to the side looking
indifferent. The drivers lead the way to the front door. Nilson
opened it when someone knocked.
He said a polite hello to them all and led them to Thierry's
office. Hannah was in there and you could hear her voice through
the door. Quinn knocked to get their attention.
"Come in," Thierry called to them. "You must be the witch
coven," he said to the large group. Cassie stepped up with Diana
and Faye at her sides but slightly behind.
"We are," Cassie said.
"I'm so glad to meet you all," Hannah said coming up to Cassie
and clasping her hands. "You're going to love it here." Then
she shook hands with Diana and Faye.
Hannah stood next to Thierry as he began to talk.
"I'm Thierry and I'm glad to welcome you to my house. You should
feel free to make yourselves at home."
"Thank you," Cassie said. She introduced the coven to him. They
all said 'hi' or nodded at him or something.
"Know as you probably have figured out you are a big shock to
most of us." A couple nodded or grinned at that. "Mother Cybele
and Aradia, the heads of the witches, would like to talk to you
as soon as possible. Aradia will be here for some meetings
tomorrow if you'd like to speak with her then."
"That sounds good," Diana said.
"Wonderful. Now I'm sure you would all like to get settled in
your rooms. Keller will show you where they are." It was obvious
they were being dismissed so they filed out of the room.
