This is probably one of my favorite chapters that I've written so far. I enjoyed writing it and I hope you guys enjoy reading it. Don't forget to review!
This was the second time that I've woken up in Matt's arms. After our little 'shindig' last night I woke up with a slight headache, which was a relief because expected to be hung the fuck over from drinking so much yesterday.
Matt's loud belch made me jump out of his arms in disgust. "Ugh, gross Matty." His eyes remained closed while he pouted. "I thought we were cuddle buddies, Bonnie."
"We were until you ruined it." Matt began to groan as he raised his body off the carpet. Did I mention we fell asleep on the floor?
"Holy shit," he started. "I have the biggest headache ever."
"Really?" I questioned. "'Cause I don't even have a hangover and I'm pretty sure I drank more than you last night."
"What? How is that even possible?" I shrugged as I got off the hard floor and walked to the bathroom. "I'll get you an Aspirin."
"I forgot to ask, did you like the snacks I bought?" I literally almost shitted my pants as I heard Kai's voice behind my back. I wasn't even fully in the bathroom as of yet, and here was the sociopath that just couldn't stay away.
"What the fuck Kai?" I shrieked. This guy was completely mentally ill, showing up at my house using a fucking what, cloaking spell? Was he serious?
"I'm sorry Bon, this is just the only way that I knew I could talk to you."
"The fuck Kai! There is nothing to talk about!"
"Yes there is," he pressed. "I overheard you say that you believed that I was capable of change."
"That's completely not the point! The point is that you're at my house at the fucking crack of dawn and you were probably here last night too."
Kai licked his lips in embarrassment. "Look I know this is pretty…lets say awkward- but I'm not used to this. I'm not used to feeling all these feelings for someone. I just know that I have to be around you and I need to make it up to you."
"Well Kai stalking me isn't exactly what I want!"
"I-" he started. "Get out!" I screeched as the windows in my house shattered and I subconsciously threw Kai out the door with my magic. God I was so tired of him. He invaded my privacy and cloaked himself in my house and thought things were going to be peaches and cream? Fuck no.
"Bon," Matt started. But I didn't hear him. All I saw was red. My front door flew open with the flick of my wrist. I continued walking until my feet met the cold concrete and my eyes met Kai's. He was on the ground, still winded by the surprising blow I gave him. His brown eyes bored into mine. A ball of fire light in the palm of my hands as my magic flew up my veins and out through my fingertips. Balls of fire were released from my hands as I sent them in Kai's direction. He managed to duck the ones that intercepted him until one burned his upper forearm.
He hissed in pain. "Fuck," he mumbled under his breath. While he was distracted, I raised my hand up and at the same time, his body raised with it. I clenched my hand and my movement with my hand mirrored the action that was taking place on Kai's body. I envisioned my hands wrapped around his throat, choking him, and the action occurred as he struggled and began coughing from the magical grasp on him.
"Bonnie," he groaned. His face was turning red as I was sucking the life out of him. I was killing him. I was going to actually kill him. But I wanted a fight.
"Fight back," I said through clenched teeth. I felt fucking pathetic fighting against someone who didn't reciprocate in taking action against me. Kai is a strong witch. Shit he's the fucking leader of the Gemini Coven. But yet, here he was getting his ass handed to him by me. I loosened my hold on him and then completely let him go. He fell onto the ground with a hard thud as he started coughing violently. Irritated and oddly astounded by his resistance of fighting back, I stomped to his curled body on the grass. "What the hell is wrong with you?"
"I don't…want..to fight you Bonnie," he said in between breaths.
"So what, you were just going to let me kick your ass or even kill you?"
"Whatever it takes." I was taken aback by his declaration. He sounded so genuine it caught me off guard. His eyes were so big and pleading. "Just…stay the hell out of my house Kai." I turned around and saw Matt's mouth agape. I couldn't blame him. Before entering the house, I said a small enchantment that fixed all the damages.
"Bons," Matt started as I sat down on my plush sofa. "What the fuck was that about?"
I ran a hand through my disheveled hair and sighed. "What the fuck else?" I spat. "It's Kai's crazy ass. Apparently he can't take a fucking hint."
"You know Bons, maybe he has changed." I set my eyes to my best friend who wore a sheepish look on his face. He wriggled in his seat as he continued. "I mean, from what I've heard Kai is pretty powerful. You guys could've been having a full blown witch battle out there but you didn't."
"Regardless of the fact that Kai didn't fight back, doesn't change what he did, or who he is." I licked my lips in annoyance. Why was Matt defending him? I know that I said beforehand that maybe there was a sliver of good in him and that he was capable of change, but it doesn't change anything.
Matt set his jaw and I swear that I head a tiny crack. "I think I should go." He got up off the couch and kissed me on my forehead and walked out. I wish I would've stopped him, because he was right. Kai not fighting me back was a big thing. I was a fool to not think it was. But it could just be another one of his little tricks too. I saw his true colors in 1994; he was charming yet the ultimate master manipulator. And there was no way I was falling for his bullshit again. Not in this lifetime.
"I wanna take you out. For a girl's night." I looked into Caroline's eyes as I cursed at myself internally for stopping by my dorm at Whitmore. I was in desperate need for one of my grimoires and I couldn't find it anywhere in my house, so I reckoned it would be at my dorm. As I was flipping covers and beds and rummaging through drawers, Care just happened to stop by.
"Bonnie," she squeaked. I simply rolled my eyes and continued looking for my grimoire. "Look," Caroline said while playing in her hair. She was nervous. She always fondled in her when she was iffy about something. "I know you hate me and I know I'm the worst person in the world to you right now, but I'm not giving up on us." I continued to ignore her. "Bonnie I've known you my whole life. You're practically my sister. And I'm not going to lose you. I won't allow it. Therefore I'm taking you out tonight." I snickered. "I'm serious Bon," she said while vampire speeding in front of me. I managed to step back before knocking heads with her. "I wanna take you out. For a girl's night."
Weighing my options in my head I began to speak. "Go out with my ex best friend or stay home and watch 'The Bodyguard'? Hm. I chose the latter."
"Come on, Bon. Please give me a chance to prove to you that I'm not that much of a shitty person. Please," she pleaded.
I rolled my eyes in defeat. One night wouldn't kill me, would it? And besides, this was Caroline…I missed her. "Okay…fine." Caroline squealed in excitement and wrapped her arms around me, but quickly drew them back with realization. "Too soon?"
"Yeah."
"Okay so I'll pick you up around 8 ish. And make sure to wear all black. It suits you."
"Are you going to tell me where we're going?" I asked. "Nope," she chided. "Just be ready."
I oddly didn't regret coming out with Caroline tonight. She took me out to a bar on the outskirts of town which was a relief. She showed up at my house at 8:40 which was kind of odd because my whole life I've known Caroline to never be late. I didn't mind though, it gave me time to keep on looking for my grimoire, which I still couldn't find. Right before I was about to call it quits for my 'girl's night' with Care, the doorbell rang and there she was, clad in all black. I was taken aback. You'd never catch Caroline Forbes in black, let alone all black so it was…a little surprising. My attire was black ripped jeans, a black crop top, combat boots and my infamous leather jacket. My hair was painstakingly straight and my makeup was dark as well.
Even though Caroline wore all black her makeup was quite the opposite. She wore bright pink lipstick and light gold eyeshadow. Her hair was the opposite of mine too, curly and bouncy. She looked amazing.
I nodded my head in appreciation. "You know, you don't look half bad."
"Neither do you. You look nice too." I raised my eyebrows. "So," I started as I began to close my front door and lock it with my magic. "Where are we headed?"
"You'll see," Caroline chided as we hopped into her Prius and drove off.
The bar we ended up going to was called 'Maisie's. Weird name. On the outside it looked pretty run down, but on the inside it was beautiful. It was a fancy bar with crystal chandeliers and golden glass cups. But it also had a type of edge to it too. The walls were painted black and dark red. The place pretty much reminded me of the vampire bar on True Blood called 'Fangtasia'. And the biggest similarity about Maisie's and Fangtasia was the fact that it was crawling with the supernatural. The whole aurora of the bar screamed vampires and werewolves and even a couple of witches.
I clutched Caroline's arm. "Do you smell that?"
"Yeah. It smells like dog."
"Did you know that this bar is full of you-know-what's?"
"No," she urged. "Bonnie I swear I didn't."
"Well we're here." I sighed. "Might as well make the best of it." I detached myself away from Caroline and walked straight up to the bar. As soon as I sat down on a stool I monitored the bartender over. He was a frail boy with thick black rimmed glasses and his name tag read 'Brandon'. Brandon was human. I rolled my eyes inwardly. I wondered if he knew that his life may be in danger due to all these vamps and wolves running around here.
"What can I do you for?" Brandon asked.
"Can I get a shot of bourbon please?"
"Make that two," Caroline intervened as she sat next to me. I chucked my eyebrows up at her. "What? You didn't think you were drinking alone did you?" Her blonde hair shun and I gave her a shy smile. She was making an effort and I appreciated that. We sat in silence until Brandon poured us our shots. "Cheers," Care said while raising her glass.
"What are we toasting to?" I asked while mirroring her actions.
"To this being our last shot that we buy tonight because we're cute enough to get guys to buy drinks for us!" I laughed in response as I clinked my glass to hers and downed my drink. "Now," Caroline started. "Is there any guy here that you want to devour tonight?"
I ran my eyes against the crowd of vampires and werewolves. There were a bunch of cute guys here and pretty girls too. But none of them caught my eye until a tall, caramel skinned guy caught my attention. Holy shit, he was gorgeous. He had a low cut fade and broad shoulders. He wore a black jacket with cargos and a pair of Nikes. And did I mention his face? He was fucking gorgeous. And he was looking at me. My lips parted as he began to walk over. I slowly but cautiously turned my head to Caroline's already see that she was looking at me.
"He's hot," she mouthed. I nodded my head and blinked, and there he was before me. Up close he was even more gorgeous. So gorgeous that I didn't even care that he was a vampire.
"H-Hi," he stammered. "Mind if I sit?"
Do you mind if I sit on your face? "Yeah sure," I replied back. "This is my friend Caroline, and your name is?"
"Jesse. And oh, nice to meet you, Caroline."
"Same here, Jesse. Hey, Bon I'm gonna head to the bathroom." Caroline gave me a condescending look and I shooed her away.
"So 'Bon'? Is that short for something?"
"My name is Bonnie."
"Bonnie," Jesse said with a full-fledged smile. "That's a pretty name."
"Thank you. So Jesse, how old are you?" "I'm 23, you?"
I scoffed. "I mean your real age." He gave me a confused look. "Wha-?"
"I know you're a vampire." I intercepted. His eyes bugged. "How?" "I'm a witch," I said simply. "And witches can sense when there are supernatural creatures nearby. So let's start again. How old are you Jesse?"
He sighed, "I'm 123 years old." "Hm. You're pretty young for a vampire."
He snickered. "You've been around older?"
"Much older."
"Okay, Bonnie," he said while motioning Brandon the bartender over. "Let's see what else you can get out of me tonight." I smirked. "Let's see."
The night went by in flashes. First I was taking shots with Jesse as he told me his life story. He was turned in 1915 by his mother. She basically sucked him dry one night after he was cut by a knife. His mother was still a newbie vamp at the time, so her blood lust was over the charts high and she couldn't control herself. When I asked him how'd he survive without any vampire blood in his system he told me that beforehand his mother would always put her blood in his food and drinks just in case anything life threatening happened to him.
After he turned he told me that he despised his mother. She was his worst enemy. Jesse told me that being a vampire came easily to him. He never went on killing sprees or turned off his humanity. And I believed him. After a couple more shots in my system I told him a little about me. I told him my age and birthday and soon enough I started to tell him about how much my life sucked. I let him in on what I went through in my early high school years. I told him about my battles with the supernatural and how much I sacrificed for the people I 'loved'. And I told him about how much I hated Damon. He offered to kick his ass for me and that brought a smile to my face but I had to give him the heads up that Damon was older and stronger then him.
"I don't care how old he is. I'll still kick his ass." I giggled and gave him a genuine smile. "You're sweet."
Juicy J's song 'Bounce It' came on and my eyes popped open. "You wanna dance?" Before he could answer, I grabbed ahold of his hand and pulled him off the bar stool and onto the dance floor. I saw Caroline talking to some guy, a blondie-as the chorus of the song began.
Bounce it, bounce it. I'm about to throw a couple thousands.
Let me tell you, Jesse could get down. His body fell in sync with mine as I popped and locked against his body. His hot breath was creeping up my neck as his hand went up and down my thigh. I closed my eyes for a split second and Care was in front of me, dancing with her guy too. I got out of Jesse's grasp and pulled Caroline into me. I started dancing against her in sync as the song changed to Rihanna's song 'Love Song.'
Oh baby, you've been stingy with your time. Got me wonderin', I'm wonderin' if I'm on your mind.
The song had a slower beat to it, but I still managed to get down. Caroline's frame moved against mine as the lights started to flicker and the room got hotter. I didn't know if it was my doing that the lights started to blink, but I didn't care. I was having a good time. I felt light and serene and I was going to revel in it.
