A New Force

Chapter 2

Bonnie walked through the groups of trees, shivering through the wind. I'm surprised that the wind hasn't calmed down yet, Bonnie thought. But she answered the question very quickly. That's because The Power hasn't calmed down yet. Whatever force that has come to Mystic Falls is very, very Powerful. Bonnie still kept trying to turn around but she was getting pulled to the force nonstop. It started getting even colder and chillier outside then it already was. Bonnie's were soon chattering and her lips were turning blue. When her legs were about to give in, she met with the new Powerful force…

Meredith awoke from a sudden bolt of lightning. She automatically looked for Bonnie to make sure she was ok during this harsh weather. To her surprise, Bonnie wasn't there. Meredith's first thought was that Bonnie might have been sleep walking once again. But she had a bad feeling this time. Maybe it was the dark house, maybe the quietness of this all, possibly the horrid weather, or it might be the fact that Damon was also missing. Meredith read the note over and over again on the kitchen countertop thinking that she misread it. She ran upstairs to Elena's and Stefan's bedroom. Normally she would knock but this time, she felt it an emergency to hurry and go on with whatever she had to say. So, therefore, Meredith walked in on Elena in her bra and underwear, and Stefan in his boxers, with the blanket on the ground. Meredith ignored this and turned the light on waking them up. Elena sat up straight and and gave a small shriek, waking Stefan up.

"Elena! What is it? What's wrong?" Asked Stefan.

"Aghem," said Meredith hoping to get noticed.

"Meredith!" Elena and Stefan yelled, pulled the covers over them.

"What? You really think that I care? But that's not the point," she began.

"Meredith, what the hell is going on," questioned Stefan.

"Bonnie and Damon are missing!" she yelled.

Elena gasped and Stefan looked shocked, then pleased, and concerned. Meredith on the other hand kept her cool and waited for Elena and Stefan to start throwing questions at her. Elena was the first to start.

"Where? When?"

"Where? I have no idea. When? Sometime tonight."

"Tell us what happened," Stefan asked calmly.

"Well, I woke to the storm outside and I twisted around to make sure Bonnie was alright. But she wasn't there. I found a note on the kitchen counter that Damon wrote saying that he went to go look for Bonnie."

"Why would Damon care about Bonnie?" asked Stefan.

"Yeah. Since when did Damon care about anybody but himself?" repeated Elena.

"I don't know," began Meredith. "But we have got to find them! Damon's human now and Bonnie would never go out there if she got a choice!"

"What are you saying, Meredith?"

"I'm saying that I think there's something bad out there."

Damon continued to walk down the street through the terrible storm. He had no idea how he was going to get through this storm and back to the boarding house alive. Much less find Bonnie. But he didn't care. Because tonight, he finally realized how much he cared for Bonnie and he wanted her back to determine how serious his love for her was. Damon tried to keep his eyes covered but his hand was too frozen to move it up any higher than his hip. But the wind began to be too strong to his new weak human conditioned body. It flew him over, off the side of the road and his head hit a tree. He got up feeling very dizzy. After taking two steps, Damon's mind went blank. His last thought was "I need to get to Bonnie" and his last few seconds of vision was a bright flashing light.

She was looking at the most sight she has ever seen. But this face looked quite familiar. Like one she's seen in a dream or something. Bonnie looked at the face in terror. Once she built up enough confidence, she decided to ask him (if it even is a him) a question.

"Who are you?" She yelled. It smiled at her revealing fangs. But there were also weird appearances about it that made it look like a wolf. I knew that it wouldn't answer that question so I tried a different one.

"What are you?"

"I'm a Cantight," it said.

Then less than a millisecond, it was by my side and was tearing open my throat and any piece of flesh or meat in its way to drink my blood. I screamed at the top of my lungs. The pain was so bad! There weren't even words for it. I have never felt anything like it before. The Cantight was ripping flesh out of me and spitting it out. After a minute of that, it started drinking my blood. I felt as though I was about to faint.
