PROLOGUE

Mystic Grill, Mystic Falls, Virginia (Lunch Rush)

"Bonnie please...isn't there anything you can try from one of the hundreds of Grimoires left to you by your Grams? All im asking for is a little more time. Please Bonnie!! There has to be SOMETHING!! ANYTHING!!

Deciding to take a soft approach due to Caroline"s frantic state. "Caroline, you know I love you. And you know how much I love Liz, especially after Abby took off. She looked after me like I was her own.

"I love you too Bon, my Mom's always loved you too. So does this mean you'll help?"

The young Bennet witch sighs before she speaks knowing what she has to say will hurt her best friend. "No Care, as much as I want to. This isn't something magic can fix. Your Mom is dying and it sucks. I get it. But it's not a Supernatural death. My hands are tied. I can't.

In a flash Caroline's mood swings from desperately pleading for her friend to save her mother's life to furiously screaming at the witch. "More like you WON"T!"

Having gotten accustomed to these sudden whiplashing changes in her friend. Bonnie breathed deeply in an effort to calm herself before she spoke again, reminding herself that Caroline didn't really mean what she was saying and it was only her grief causing her to lash out. "Care, it's nothing like that! I literally can't. I'm a witch. We're servants of nature not miracle workers.

"Why is it because I'm the one asking not your precious Elena, Saint Stefan or even the devil himself Damon?" The young vampire vehemently accuses her best friend.

"That's not fair Caroline."

" I don't care about fairness!!! I'm just trying to find a way...any way to save my mom. She's." Caroline's eyes start to swell up with unshed tears.

"Look, even if i dd find a spell, the right spell in time. It breaks all the rules. We have no idea what kind of side-effects could happen. It's dark magic, dangerous magic. There's always a price."

"You've said screw the rules how many times in the past when it was for Elena and the one time I ask you..beg you for help. The one time I truly need you to be there for me you say NO?

"I'm saying no because the price is always too high and it always bites us on the ass! It always bites ME on the ass. So, I'm sorry, but I'm saying no."

"B-but but, it's my Mom. She's all I have. Please help me!!" Both girls are crying at this point. "I can't Care, I'm so sorry. I wish it could be different. But I just can't."

On a dime Caroline's mood swings into full rage. Her vampiric features are taking over. Caroline was no longer in control of her emotions and she didn't care who saw. "Apparently unless your last name is Gilbert or Salvatore then you're just not worth saving in this town. If my bestfriends refuse help. I'll just find a way to do it myself! You're not the only witch on the planet Bonnie Bennett!

With tears freely falling from her eyes and long since caring who might have been listening in on their not so private conversation Carolie whooshes out of the Grill at full vamp speed.
