"Gurl what are you on, cause I want me some." I say as I look at her with crazy eyes hoping that she realizes what she's saying is insane, insane but true. But she doesn't need to know the last part.
"I saw your memories I know you're not from this... world." She says with caution with full knowledge of how crazy those words sound.
"Really, if I'm not from this world then where am I from? Pluto?" I say mimicking her, and trying to sell this for all it's worth.
"Cut the crap. I know you think this is a TV show." She replies with her brow raised and I realize I can't fight her on this.
"Okay! You're right, to me this was all a shitty tv show. But it's not now, because I'm here. And the only thing I'm trying to do is stay alive long enough to get out of here." I confess hoping she doesn't see me as a threat. She just stares at me trying to decide her verdict and all you can hear is the ads buzzing on the radio because Bitch Better Have My Money is over. And I'm pretty sure I was visibly sweating as I waited for her to say something, anything.
"I...believe you." She says with her mind still hard at work.
"Thank baby jesus." I breathe heavily, I won't be getting an aneurysm tonight.
"But you have to promise you can't tell anyone, especially Damon." I stare at her as the fear creeps back into my body.
"What, why not?" Bonnie asks as she finally starts reversing out the driveway.
"Umm who do you think is going to believe that I come from a different dimension where this is all a TV show?" I stare at her waiting for an answer knowing very well that I wouldn't be getting one.
"That's what I thought. A new stranger with a mysterious past never settles well with anyone, and before you know it I'm dead." I roll my eyes as I face the window, I really really don't want to die in Mystic Falls. Just another dead POC for people to rant about on forums, no that was not going to happen.
"But have you thought, that maybe instead of this just being a dream. You actually have I don't know a storyline? Maybe you're here for a reason." Bonnie asks which gets me thinking I always wanted to be on TVD just so that I could hopefully make it better or make out with literally anyone on this show considering they're all hot. But maybe Bonnie was right, maybe I'm here for a reason, maybe I was here to fix things and restore order. Or maybe I'm here to fuck shit up even more, who knows.
"Even so, I still need you to promise." I turn back to look at her again and I could tell she's thinking as usual.
"I promise." I smile at her response everyone knows that Bonnie's word on this show was about the only thing that can be trusted.
"Thank you." I was gonna say I owe her one but owing someone something here, could cost you your life.
"Last night was fun, we haven't had a girls night in a while." Caroline says somberly and I know she's thinking about Elena. Last night was fun as we had a movie marathon and just talked all night, it was nice having friends for once.
"Yeah I didn't even know Bonnie could chug like that." I laugh Bonnie and Caroline had a beer competition and I was the judge because I don't drink myself.
"What can I say, Damon taught me." Bonnie laughs as she fixes her bed. I was well aware that Damon taught her but I wanted to hear her say it.
"So where are we going today?" I ask considering they were both getting ready.
"Uhh well we are going to class, you're free to roam campus until we come back." Caroline smiles I'm glad she doesn't think I need a babysitter.
"But it's summer?" I say why the hell were they still taking classes.
"Yeah, but since we both missed like a ton of classes this year, we're trying to make up for them so that we can still graduate on time." Bonnie replies and that makes complete since Bonnie was gone for like 8 months and Caroline went awol when she went dark. Ugh now I'm thinking about how sucky I'm doing in college and that is not fun.
"Oh well then what time are you guys getting out?" I smile wondering how much time I have to myself.
"I get out at 4, and Bonnie gets out at 2."
"And they are snacks in the fridge, we'll be back before you know it." Bonnie smiles as they both leave me in the room. I jump off the bed quickly, for the first time in my life I got shit to do. Like find a way out of here or how to bring Kai back from the dead. Or find a spell that will help me stay alive, which means find Bonnie's grimoire not that I know how to do spells but I'm sure Bonnie wouldn't mind helping me.
"Now if I were a grimoire, where would I be?" I sing as I spot their bookshelf on the other side of the room.
"I'd be hidden in plain site." I smile as I run to the bookshelf to find an old worn out book and to my luck there jammed on the bottom shelf was a book that fit the description. I pull it out and acknowledge that with the amount of engraved dust on it, this had to be the book. I flip through some pages and it sure looks like a spellbook to me, one little problem though.
"Of course the whole thing is written in latin." I sigh as I put the book back where I found it, looks like I'm going to have to take my chances in the library then. That is until I see my appearance in the mirror and I am looking a hot mess. Not even hot just full on mess, prompting me to run to the bathroom, with the hopes that I could make myself appear decent. After an hour and multiple failed attempts I step out in an oversized sweatshirt hoodie that had to belong to a guy but I found it in Caroline's closet and I sported Bonnie's running sneakers. Sadly nobody had a beanie so I actually had to try with my hair, I threw all of it to the front of my head dubbing it bangs and wore my fancy earrings yet again. I mean for having nothing I was feeling what I made up, I'm sure Keke Palmer would love this outfit. Now to find this library which shouldn't be that hard just look for a big building that says library. But it proved to be harder than I thought considering the heat was excessive and I quickly learned my hoodie was a terrible idea. And before I even made it to the other side of the campus in the search for this library I want to rip my clothes off and run towards the first sign of water. But considering that I have nothing but undies underneath I run into the closest building hoping for air conditioning. The second I open the door I'm hit with a wave of frigid air and it is beautiful. It's freezing in here and I love it, I look around and realize I'm in the school bar where Kai met Liv and where Enzo strangled Bonnie. I make my way to the bar with the thought of water still on my mind. Water is always free so I can afford that, but before I can order I spot a very hot specimen of man. It's Enzo with his non-existent storyline ass but thank the lords the boy fixed his hedgehog hair, obviously I sit next to him.
"Hi, may I get a glass of water?" I smile at the bartender and I can't help but notice that he's cute too. Enzo looks like he's waiting for something and honestly I want to know why he's here considering he doesn't go to school.
"I'm sorry, do you happen to know where the library is I got a little lost." I say with the facade of a deer in headlights, guys love when girls are helpless. But in this moment I actually am, considering I have no clue where the hell the library is but I know he has no clue either.
"Ugh no sorry. I'm just waiting for someone." The question was who?
"Dude I am digging your accent, that's hot. I bet you all the girls swoon." I blink rapidly pretending to be lovesick and he chuckles. Flattery could get you anywhere.
"Not all the girls." He replies with a sense of bittersweetness in his tone.
"I'm sure that's not true."
"Fine, not the girls that matter." He confesses with a smirk and it's kinda cute to see Enzo have a crush, now the question who was he talking about? He points at my water and I greet it with eagerness but before I let the cup meet my lips, I turn to him.
"Are we talking about love?" I cringe as I do whenever I say the word love, it's gross and cancerous.
"Who broke your heart?" He chuckles.
"Thankfully no one." I smile my ass has been single since 1995 so my heart was still very much intact. The fact that my heart is tiny and cold isn't because of any heartbreak, that's all me.
"So why the obvious disdain?" Now I can see he's intrigued probably wondering what's my tragic story that could caused me to be so cold.
"You don't need to experience love, to know it's bullshit. I've seen enough people suffer from this so called beautiful thing named love. Trust me I want no part in it." I finish as I take a huge gulp of water, which has never tasted better.
"So are you saying you don't believe in love?" The way he said it, dripping in his accent made me want to fall in love with him. But like I said I'm good.
"I never said that. Love exists and it's powerful, powerful enough to make anyone insane. And I enjoy my sanity, well my semi sanity anyways." I know I'm crazy but love makes people stupid.
"Oh so you just hate love." He laughs finally looking less tense.
"Well, I like the thought of love." I have read enough Bamon fanfics to know damn well that I enjoy the thought of love, considering I squeal just like everyone else when the characters get together.
"May I ask what's the difference?"
"Well the thought of love is the thing that everyone dreams of. You know? I'm talking the kisses in the rain, walks on the beach and all that other bullshit that every girl fantasizes about. But the reality of things is that most of times it's extremely fucked up, especially when that love isn't monogamous." I finish staring at him intently, knowing that he couldn't disagree. Poor little Enzo that path he was going down he was going to become the next Damon always loving someone who loves someone else.
"Well I can't say I disagree with that. But are you saying one shouldn't try to find love because of a huge chance that it might not work out?" And right now I honestly think he wants a legit answer as if this will dictate his next move.
"I didn't say that. Plus since when does love need to be found? I thought that shit just hit you like a ton of bricks out of the blue or more appropriately like a heart attack." I snort at my own bad pun, I'm to damn funny sometimes.
"So if I were to ask your advice-" He starts.
"Whoa advice I thought we've established that I don't know shit squat about love so I can't help you." I finish he needs to slow his roll he does not need advice from me. Especially considering since I don't really ship him with anyone besides in certain moments in Season 5 with Bonnie.
"But you we're just going on about-"
"I can theorize but I know nothing from personal experience."
"You're quite contradicting, do you know that?" He asks with a smirk.
"I am aware." I smirk back, I was already on his good side. Which is where I needed to be, I need allies not enemies. Sure Damon doesn't like me but he'll get over it.
"You're not from around here, are you?" He asks as he circles his whiskey.
"Nope. How could you tell?" I say with obvious sarcasm I'm pretty sure I stuck out like a cheap hooker during Sunday service.
"You're…"
"Crazy."
"No."
"Funny."
"Different."
"Mmmm different, how so?" Different usually means creep, ugly, or some other shit.
"Well for one thing you say what's on your mind, even though it may not make much sense, but still it's refreshing." He ends with a smile, Enzo was working that charm. I need me an accent pronto since it clearly works wonders.
"Aww you get me, you totally get me." I say as I put one hand on my chest with appreciation.
"That clearly means you're my soulmate, so quick we have to run away before the evil queen finds us." I say putting my arm on him and we both start laughing, making fun of love is so fun. But his laughter came to an abrupt end as he stood up quickly. I look around to see what he saw, and then I see her making her way to the bar in a bright yellow dress.
"Caroline, I need to talk to you." Enzo says as he tries to make his way to her but it's so clear that Care is not having it, and the second she sees me she loses it. She runs up to me and quickly checks my neck, "What did he say to you?"
"What?" I answer she look crazy right now.
"Wait you know her?" Enzo asks pointing towards me.
"Yes I know her but I'm sure you already knew that. Why else would you be talking to her?" My neck practically breaks as I look at her.
"Because I'm fun to talk to." Like Care need to relax, like is it too crazy to believe that Enzo could just be talking to me. I mean I'm pretty sure I exude cool.
"Is that what he told you?" Care asks me looking for answers and I just smack my forehead she is totally missing my point.
"Caroline it's urgent. And I don't even know who she is." Enzo says in defense. Now I really want to know what he has to say to Caroline.
"It's true, he don't." I say offering my man Enzo a bone.
"Sure you don't." It takes everything in my willpower not to roll my eyes extra hard at her, because no one knows who I am. Shit the whole point is that I don't even know who I am.
"That's bollocks. I don't even know her name."
"It's-" I begin until Caroline covers my mouth and I am having a hard time believing that this bitch just shut me up.
"None of your business. You decided to switch sides so don't talk to me or her!" Caroline growls as she grabs my wrist and leads me out into the sweltering heat again, to say she was angry was an understatement.
"Why were you talking to him?" She asks as she crosses her arms at me.
"Because I felt like it." I answer crossing my arms at her.
"He is the enemy, we do not converse with the enemy."
"Since when is he the enemy?" I ask, no one told me this.
"Since he chose to side with Lily." Wait when the hell did that happen?
"Hold up, how long was I in the hospital?" Because there had to be some time distance between the finale and now.
"A week."
"What?"
"Yeah you were in a mini coma."
"Awww and Matt stayed there the whole time, that's hella cute." This why I love Matty Blue Blue. This why everyone love Matty Blue Blue.
"Focus, now that you know he is the enemy what did he tell you?"
"First off I still don't think he the enemy, and secondly we were just having small talk."
"You have to be specific, he might have gotten information out of you." It looking like Care was not gonna let this go and I really don't want to reiterate the entire convo that I just had.
"Look we only talked about love and how overrated that shit is."
"Wait did he say anything about me?" And for the second time today she damn near broke my neck as I eyed the shit out of her, she could not be serious.
"No Caroline. He did not mention your name at any specific point and time." I reply like an automated robot and I could tell she is slightly dismayed.
"You didn't tell him anything about you, did you?" She questions.
"No because once again, amnesia." I feel like I'm going to have to say this amnesia thing about a million times.
"Oh yeah I forgot, thank god." Caroline smiles as she begins to walk and my mouth drops that was hella rude. We get back to her dorm before I remember that I was suppose to go to the library.
"Bonnie's going to be here soon and then I'm gonna meet you guys at the mall later."
"Oh we goin shoppin?" The library can wait another day, I'm about to get me a new wardrobe.
"Yes you can't wear Tyler's hoodies all the time." She replies looking at the hoodie like it had good memories.
"Wait this is Tyler's?"
"Well you didn't think it was mine?" She asks offended.
"Why do you have it?" I mean I could see Tyler wearing this, I mean I did see his ass rocking jordans at some point in Season 6.
"I was going to give it back, but then when he left I wanted something to remember him by." She answers with a soft smile and I can't help but think that's cute.
"Wait where did he go?" I ask because they never really said anything about that.
"He went to the mountains to transform until it doesn't hurt anymore." Ok that makes sense I guess but it's clear that Care feels for him having to deal going through the same process again.
"Is he gonna come back?" I know he ain't because I heard Trevino got on to a better show.
"No and I hope he doesn't." Care replies with a twinge of frustration, I highly doubt she's still mad over there relationship.
"Why?"
"Because he escaped Mystic Falls, he's free." She says and I could sense she's slightly jealous and I don't blame her because this town sucks ass.
"Are you ever going to leave?" Like to New Orleans so that she could go be with Klaus considering that's the only person I ship Klaus with. Hayleigh and what's her face are annoying. Did I even spell Hayleigh right? I don't think so and it don't matter.
"I want to say yes, but the truth is I don't think so. Once I became a vampire, I became a part of this place." That's not what I wanna hear Caroline is bigger than this crappy town she could do so much better.
"I feel you, well not on the whole vampire thing but everything else. From what I can remember all I ever wanted to do was leave RI and now I'm here, somehow. But that's not the point, the point is that nothing can hold you back besides yourself so if you really want to leave, one day just get up and go." I really hope that's how the show ends with her leaving this shitty town.
"One day." Well that's not very optimistic but it's something.
"Just make sure to take Bonnie with you, she needs out of this place more than anyone else." My girl Bonnie deff can't stay here to be a servant to these fuckboys.
"You're so right. But knowing Bonnie she'll fight me on it but I'll strap her to the car if I have too." The sad part is Caroline's probably right even though Bonnie got absolutely nothing left here.
"Fight you on what?" Bonnie smirks as she walks into the room, putting her books down on the nearby desk.
"Going on a road trip." Care laughs not wanting to tell Bonnie the plan of kidnapping her.
"Why would I fight you on that, that sounds fun." She adds almost making me believe she'd actually go.
"And never coming back." I add, so that she catches the drift.
"What?" She giggles like I said something crazy or funny.
"Bon don't you ever think of running away?" Care moves closer to her.
"Well yeah but-"
"But what?" I butt in, sitting on the other side of her thus barricading her.
"What about… our friends?" She tried it.
"What friends? Elena in a coma. Jeremy out there hunting god knows what. Tyler in the mountains. Y'all don't have any family. If you talking about Matt take him with you." I know I'm brutal but she was fooling herself. And if she gonna list Damon as a friend, I'm going to need to hear it from her mouth so that my shipper heart can swoon.
"What about Damon and Stefan?" I knew she was gonna grasp for anything, she didn't even call them friends.
"Umm what about them, they're both vampires they'll always be around. SO give me a real reason because I'm not seeing one." I glare at her, I wanted her ass out this show like yesterday or given a better storyline and we all know that ain't happening.
"Look I can't! Maybe in the future but right now I have to be here." The way she said it made it known that she wasn't going anywhere, anytime soon.
"Why? What's keeping you hear now Bon?" Care asks in a delicate tone and I wanna applaud for approaching her with more care. Bad cop, good cop scenario.
"I know how this sounds but I have to stay here to watch over Damon and Alaric." She sighs as she finally gets it off her chest but both Care and I eye each other in confusion.
"Why?" We question in unison. I really want her to say it's because she head over heels for Damon despite his melodramatic dusty ass.
"Because they're hurting and it's all my fault." I could sense the guilt churning within her I should have known Bonnie was going to pull this.
"Bonnie nothing that happened was your fault." Care tells her and my girl Care is right.
"Yes it is! Kai would have never put Elena to sleep or killed Jo if I didn't leave him in 1903." The tears slip out of her eyes and I can't help but close mine in frustration. Why must she always be plagued with this incessant guilt, when no one has ever given a shit about ruining her life.
"No, Kai did those things. And I'm sure you wouldn't have left him in 1903 if Damon told you the full implications of your actions, which he didn't." Oh god it absolutely killed me to say Kai did those things when it was completely out of character and Julie Plague just decided to ruin his entire redemption arc because she stupid.
"Yeah she's right." Care says supporting my claim.
"No because I was full of rage and I was selfish. I would have left him to die no matter what." Bonnie whispers eerily and I have no reply because she shattering my Bonkai heart.
"No. You would have went back after the fact." Care tells Bonnie and she's right. She's right no matter what Bonnie tells me she would have gone back for Kai, my little heart is too fragile to believe otherwise.
"How are you so sure?" She asks Care but I answer.
"Because just like this unnecessary guilt is gnawing at you right now it would have ate you alive if you left him there, knowing what you know. Knowing the truth." Shit she almost got me tearing me up because the only image in my mind is Kai's blue grey eyes piercing at her through the beautiful snow. Nope it's official if I'm stuck here, I'm bringing my baby back. Care engages a group hug and I know Bonnie heard what we said but she didn't believe it. And I know she wouldn't believe it until she hears it from the source herself, Damon. Now getting Damon to say this especially after our intro was going to be hard.
"Thanks guys. But Care you're going to be late to class." Bonnie says somberly pointing to the clock that glared 2:26.
"Oh shit you're right! I'll meet you guys at the mall later." Care states as she zooms out the door in vampire speed.
"Mall." I say like a dog who sees squirrel. I forgot all about this mall trip.
"Yeah we decided you can't keep on wearing pajamas for the rest of your stay, so we're going to go shopping." Bonnie finishes with a smile as she does her best of switching the subject, lucky for her I was to excited at the aspect of new clothes that fit me, that I decided I'll pester her later about this problem.
"Oh my god really! Because as much as I'm rocking this hoodie, I'm sweating bullets out here." I explain as I fan my armpits and we both start laughing. But I'm seriously hot so I go splash some water on my face and when I come back she looks quite pensive.
"Catia, how exactly did you get here?"
"I don't know, I just remember this huge flash of light. Why?"
"Because I was thinking that maybe the way for you to go home is the same way you came."
"Holy shit sticks, how did I not think of this?" I scream as I run to her bed and pull back the covers.
"What are you doing?"
"I need Ms. Cuddles." I say searching underneath the bed.
"Ms. Cuddles? You know about her?" Bonnie asks I know Ms. Cuddles is private to her.
"I know everything remember, well about you guys anyways. Where is she?" Because she's not here.
"I sent her away in 1994, she's not here. Why?" Bonnie asks with the cross of her arms obviously wondering why I had an interest in her beloved teddy bear.
"Because Ms. Cuddles brought me here. And really Damon still hasn't gave her back?"
"Ms. Cuddles brought you here?"
"Yes that's what I said." I say as I start heading towards the door and she finally gets the memo as she runs to pick up her keys.
"How?"
"I don't know she was on the side of the road and I picked her up and then the light happened and I was here." As we head out to the Salvatores because my ass was on a mission and I can't believe I get to witness this whole exchange between her and Damon.
Bonnie was on some fast and furious shit as she got us to the boardinghouse in what I could only believe is record time. I run to the door and of course it's open, white people. I shake my head as I rush in.
"How did you get in?" Damon steps out with a drink in his hand, no less.
"The front door was open, genius." I dish back.
"Well get out, you're not welcome." He mutters it's so clear he's drunk out of his mind. So this moment is probably not going to be as cute as I want it to be.
"Don't speak to my friend that way." Stefan greets me with a smirk as he walks down the stairs.
"Friend? Since when did you two become friends?" He says perplexed probably wondering how drunk he is.
"Come on Damon, you know anyone who shows you up in your own home is a friend of mine." Stefan smiles, I love it when he's sassy. And honestly I can't help but gloat, as Damon just growls.
"So what can I help you with, Catia?" Stefan offers pronouncing my name perfectly again, the boy was aiming to give me a heart attack.
"Actually I need Damon's help."
"Ha, tough luck." Damon cackles ready to deny whatever I ask of him but he quickly stops when Bonnie enters through the door. She took her sweet time.
"Bonnie? Don't tell me you're with her?" He points at me.
"Of course she with me fool, how you think I got here?" I roll my eyes did he think I just memorized the location of this place and super speeded my ass here. No because I'm not Flash and I don't have built-in GPS.
"Damon I'm here because I need Ms. Cuddles." Bonnie explains as she walks up to him and it seems like he sobered up real quick and I decide to shut the fuck up since I didn't want to ruin this moment.
"What makes you think I have her?" There he goes playing games again, I know he has her.
"Because I sent her to you." Bonnie counters as she steps closer to him and they're gazing at each other. And I know they're communicating on another level, I look back at Stefan to see if he's watching this. And my fanboy is eating it up just as much as me, he's just better at hiding it.
"And why would you do something as stupid as that?" Oh my god in his own stubborn way Damon wants to know why Bonnie entrusted him with the thing she loves most. And I know he wasn't coughing the bear up until she confessed. But the thickening silence was killing me as Stefan and I awaited Bonnie's response.
"Because… I trust you more than anyone else." She states as if she just figured this out herself. And let me tell you I'm on the verge of imploding because Bamon is happening right now.
"Why?" Damon questioning why anyone would trust him let alone, Bonnie. Shit I'm sure Damon doesn't even trust himself but maybe by him knowing this he'll finally know that he's capable of much better. Of being better.
"Because you're the only one who fights to see me live." Bonnie responds with tears in her eyes as she embraces him. Damon is clearly taken aback and doesn't know how to respond that is until he hugs her back so hard I'm sure she can't breathe. He takes her in, all in as he smells her hair and I'm sure he's longed for this hug. And despite all the pain they're relationship has entailed they are both so undeniably happy. And I can't help the tears strolling down my face, at this beauty that I have the honor to witness. You see this love I believe in, the type of love that mends someone broken. No they'll never fully heal but at least the wounds won't bleed anymore.
"I needed that." Damon says breaking the hug that I wished lasted forever. And Bonnie just looks up and smiles at him with that dazzling smile of hers.
"But I'm sorry to tell you, I don't have the bear." He shrugs of course he just had to ruin the entire perfect moment they just had.
"Damon cut the crap, and get the bear." Stefan demands as he points upstairs, and I'm glad my fanboy told him.
"Fine." Damon whines in defeat and Bonnie smacks him on the head for playing her like that.
"Ow that hurt." He winces and I'm glad even though I highly doubt it actually hurt.
"Good. Because that wasn't funny. Now go get Ms. Cuddles." Bonnie orders as she crosses her arms.
"Ok, ok. Jeez tough crowd." Damon mutters as he walks upstairs and Bonnie turns around to face us rolling her eyes with a small smile on her face.
"He just doesn't want to give it up, because he sleeps with it every night." Stefan smiles mischievously as one does when giving away heavily guarded childish secrets.
"Wait are you crying?" She giggles pointing at me. I quickly wipe any evidence of tears.
"Girl, crying are you crazy? I don't cry." It's true I don't, only in extreme cases such as this one or when witnessing the passing of a beloved.
"Are you sure? Because it sure looks like you were crying." Bonnie laughs as she comes closer to me.
"I'm pretty sure I saw you tear up just a second ago." Stefan snickers and I am heartbroken. I thought he and I had something, but to go and snitch just like that.
"Y'all need glasses, because clearly I just had an eyelash stuck in my eye." I don't like this interrogation, people don't need to know that I have those icky things called emotions.
"Really, I'll blow it out for you." Stefan offers with a smirk, both of us knowing damn well I ain't got no eyelash in my eye. Nice try, pretty boy trying to tempt me with close proximity.
"No thanks. I think I'll just go to the bathroom and get it out myself." I fake smile as I rush upstairs and away from their skepticism.
"You sure?" Stefan asks. Am I sure that I don't want to melt into a puddle on the floor as you hold my face and look deep within my eyes? Yes I'm fucking sure, pretty boy.
"YES!" I yell as I make it to the second floor and can only hear the muffled laughter below. I don't even know where the damn bathroom is in this house besides that Damon has one in his bedroom. Speaking of Damon I'm pretty sure I can hear the sound of his voice. I follow it wondering who he could possibly be talking too.
"Alright now I know we've had good times. And you kept me company when I was alone. So I just want to thank you for being there, and reminding me not to give up on finding her, or letting me lose her. You've been a real friend." I stop at his open door and see him holding Ms. Cuddles while sitting on the side of the bed.
"So goodbye ." He says with a final tight squeeze on her that is until he spots me.
"What are you doing up here?" He stops being caught in the act of being as gushy as a sour patch kid.
"Looking for the bathroom. But let me tell you that was beyond adorable." I smile, it was cute and hilarious. Next thing I know he's standing before me trying his best to appear menacing, which to his disappointment wasn't working considering the bear in his hand.
"You tell anyone about this and I'll eat you alive." Of course death threats, I believe he always keeps a variety of threats ready, just in case.
"Relax, Hannibal Lecter you're secret's safe with me." I respond in "surrender".
"Good because I wasn't in the mood for tomboy." He smirks at his own joke as he heads towards the stairs.
"Har, har, har. You're so funny ." I whisper in his ear, as we walk down the stairs and I grin as I watch his back tense. If he could bite me he would but that would give him away. Bonnie and Stefan are chatting by the couch and I'm so glad for this Stefonnie interaction.
"If you two could stop flirting, for a sec. Bonnie I believe I have something for you." I'm even more glad for Damon's reaction, can we say jealous much. Damon tip toed towards Bonnie holding the bear behind him just killing her with the building momentum. Finally he pulls her out and presents her to Bonnie and she squeals like a 5 year old girl. As she hugs the living crap out of her and Damon soaks up her excitement, not being able to help the smile on his face. Just like I couldn't help mine, Stefan smiled too but you could tell he didn't entirely get why this bear was such a big deal. Ms. Cuddles would just be his Lil' Sebastian. Bonnie hugs Damon for the second time today, thanking him over and over again. And trust me I am working really hard to contain myself.
"Is that another eyelash in your eye?" Stefan snickers and I look away.
"Nope." I fake smile, I mean I was ready to cry but I wasn't gonna do it in front of Stefan.
"Bonnie stop thanking me it was no problem."
"I'm sure it wasn't." I add knowing he loved that thing just as much as her.
"In fact some might say he'll even miss the damn thing." Stefan chuckles and I can't help but chuckle along with him. If I know, then Stefan definitely knows about Damon and . Which earns us a death glare from Damon.
"No I won't." Damon retorts like a child. Wow so believable.
"Oops I almost forgot, sorry." Bonnie says as she walks up to me holding out Ms. Cuddles. In the midst of crying over Bamon and making fun of Damon, I completely forgot that was my ticket out of here. Was I ready to go? I mean one day here and my life was already far more riveting. And if this is a dream it's been a great dream.
"Bonnie before I do this, I just wanna say I'm sorry about being harsh earlier. I just wanted you to know that you're better than this and that I'm rooting for you."
"I know, and I promise one day I will."
"Make it sooner rather than later, please."
"I'll try."
"Wait what the hell is going on here?" Damon asks perplexed yet again.
"Damon shutup. We're having a moment." I snap at him as I turn back to face Bonnie and I hug her, Imma miss her.
"Tell Care to shop enough for the both of us. Tell Enzo that he doesn't need to search it'll find him. Tell Matt to never stop smiling, okay." I let go and I can tell she's probably wondering when the hell did I speak to Enzo but she just nods.
"Stefan, I just wanted to let you know that you have a jawline sculpted by the gods and a brood that makes me weak in the knees, and I am thankful for being able to experience your face." I say as quickly as possible it's now or never to fess up to the obvious. He can't help the shit-eating grin on his face.
"For what it's worth, I enjoyed having you around Catia." It's worth a lot, the boy was trying to kill me before I departed.
"And last but not least, Damon. I would think your so hot if you weren't such a jackass. Oh and do me a favor, open your eyes."
"What?" He asks with a smirk, I'm sure he heard he only heard the hot part.
"You heard me, open your eyes." I say with a lil hint hint to Bonnie, he was such a moron. I turn to .
"Alright , take me home." I say as I reach out to grab her but stop.
"One last thing Damon." I made sure I had his attention and sent him a radiating smile.
"Yeah?" He said with a wiggle of his brows thinking I would stroke his ego even more.
"You can suck it." Ha got em, he swore I was gonna say something mad cute. But nah I was out of cute crap to say. I finally grab and close my eyes as I hear Damon mutter something. Then I stand there for what feels like a while and I pop open an eye only to see that I'm still here.
"Am I supposed to say something?" I ask Bonnie as we were both 100 percent sure this was going to work.
"Hold on we'll do it again. This time I'll say a spell." Alright, alright. This time it'll work as I close my eyes for the second time and I await her words.
"amthathe naye ezweni phambili lo fike amthathe aye naye ekhaya" Lord what language even is that? Then I feel a tug on my stomach and it's working and every particle of me tingled. When it stopped I opened my eyes to find myself staring at a ceiling while lying in bed. Bonnie was probably telling the boys everything and Damon would probably reply with something stupid. It was fun while it lasted being somewhere else. Speaking of somewhere else I do not recognize this ceiling. I get up and look around and make it to the hallway when I realize I'm still at the boardinghouse. -_-
"Bonnie it didn't work!" I say as I run back downstairs only to be greeted with a confused Bonnie and Damon's face reflecting the same disappointment as mine.
"So much for E.T go home." He mutters and I let it slide because I got bigger problems.
"I don't understand you said she brought you here." Bonnie recants as she squeezes Ms. Cuddles.
"She did. What exact spell did you say?" I ask her maybe she had said the wrong one.
"I said for her to take you the land before which you came, for her to take you home." Bonnie explains and that just ain't adding up in my book or hers. I could see the gears in her head starting to go into overdrive.
"Well it didn't work, because I ended up in a room upstairs." I start to pace so much for me going home.
"And this is definitely not your home." Damon felt the need to say.
"Thank you Captain Obvious, I'm aware. Now what am I supposed to do?" I ask somberly as I sit down.
"Wait just so I'm caught up; you were sent here by the bear, so you guys used it again to send you back home. But it sent you back here instead?" Stefan questions coming out of the woodwork I forgot he was here from how silent he is.
"Yup." I answer while rubbing my head searching for answers.
"Wait what exact room did it bring you to?" He asks his tone laced with something I couldn't quite figure out.
"I don't know, I think the… second one on the right." Why does it matter, all I know is that it's not my bedroom.
"That's my room!" Damon yells for no damn reason and now I know what Stefan's voice was laced with, it was mischief.
"Ok Damon, I don't think it matters."
"Hold on, we don't know that. Maybe sent you back here because it's your new home." Stefan explains which only got him a simultaneous death glare from Damon and I, he can't possibly be serious.
"No, Stefan might have a point guys. Remember how I said that maybe you're here for a reason, that maybe you're here because you have to do something."
"Yeah I remember."
"Well what if you can't leave until you do whatever you were sent here to do." Bonnie states giving me her logic and I can't say it doesn't make sense.
"Oh god are you saying we can't get rid of her yet?" Damon interjects.
"Damon do me a favor and shut the fuck up for like 5 seconds. Now Bonnie the thing about that is, I have no idea what the hell I have to do." I finish with a whine, I am fucked. I cover my face as I'm only met with silence, I mean no one else knows what to say. But then I feel a comforting a hand on my shoulder and I glance up to see Stefan.
"We'll help you figure it out." Stefan always the good one and I offer him a weak smile.
"Like hell we will, we don't know who she is. And what I don't get is that if she's from Rhode Island why don't we just get her a plane ticket out of here." Shit Damon has a point considering my backstory.
"It's a.. little more complicated than that." I nervously laugh as I look at Bonnie for back up but I can tell she's got nothing.
"Complicated how?" Damon questions and I can tell he's feeling proud because he's got me pinned. Do I confess or do I bullshit? Who are we kidding I'm cornered and I don't have bullshit on demand.
"Blueberries, apple pie, pancakes." I blurt out, this was a tactic I learned long ago from Wizards of Waverly Place when cornered just blurt out some random shit until people leave you alone.
"What?" Damon spits out and I can tell Stefan and Bonnie are trying to figure out what the fuck I'm doing too.
"Whip cream, chocolate shake, lava cake, rubber goose, apple juice." Wait is that the The Fairly OddParents theme song?
"Are you singing Timmy Turner?" Damon asks me.
"Hold up you watch Fairly OddParents?" I mean that show is poppin but Damon's prehistoric.
"No." He quickly replied, nice try Damon your manchild is showing.
"Then how do you know the theme song?" I ask as I purse my lips, Bonnie and Stefan also awaiting a response from him.
"I..you. know." wow great save.
"No we don't know, how bout you tell us." Stefan says, you can tell he loved watching his brother squirm and Damon's patience was wearing thin.
"You know what? You can tell us another day when you think of a decent enough excuse. Bonnie and I have to go, Care's waiting for us at the mall." I grin as I grab Bonnie by the hand and rush us out the door.
"I don't trust that girl/boy for one second." I hear Damon mutter.
"Oh you're just mad that she's smarter than you. Now what other kids shows do you enjoy watching?" Is the last thing I hear before the door slams.
"Thank god we got out of there fast." I sigh as I walk to the car with Bonnie on my heels.
"I can't believe your distraction worked."
"I'm not, it works 75 percent of the time. Now let's get to the mall, I'm sick of sweating in this hoodie." I laugh.
"It's only 15 minutes out." She says popping open the car door.
"Oh and do you think we can go to the salon, because if I'm sticking around indefinitely I'm gonna need me some hero hair." I grin with a flip of my hair, Mystic Falls has no idea what's coming.
