075. Mirror
Bonnie Bennett looked at the glass in front of her. She was standing there, facing the huge mirror on the wall.
She watched herself, as she stood, unnaturally still. Her body was petite, with dark caramel skin and long locks. She still looked like the naïve teenage girl she had been before all those things happened, before she had been thrown into the supernatural world. But if you looked closer, you could see a seriousness in her eyes. Seriousness you were used to see on older people, people that had already seen too much of darkness in this world.
On the outside she may have looked like a naïve girl but if you looked closer, you soon realized that she was no little girl any more. She had already seen to much hate, blood and hurt in this world and those sights were clear in her eyes.
She was no average teenage girl. Carefully she moved a stray piece of hair out of her eyes and leant closer to the mirror.
Her hair seemed to move around her, as if a breeze was moving it and it seemed as if she was glowing. This hadn't been there some time ago.
The witch inside her kept showing up more often and if you knew about the supernatural world, you could easily see that she belonged to it. Power radiated off her and she would use those powers to protect the persons that were important to her.
Suddenly a dark haired guy appeared in the picture of the mirror. His chin rested on her shoulder and his arms sneaked around her waist. She shifted a little, leaning back into the chest of the guy, before she stood still again, this time watching both of them.
The pale smooth skin that covered his bones, the strong jaw line and the ice blue eyes, all those were things that would never change, never in all eternity.
"You like starring into that thing?" He asked from behind her. "It's just… You know, I can't believe that after all we've been through, we are here. And we are not only not tearing each others hearts apart, but we kinda like each other." The witch admitted. "I just can't explain it to myself why on earth… I mean I used to hate you…" The dark haired vampire smirked at her, before he sank down onto the floor and pulled her onto his lap. "The problem between us was never that we hated each other." "But I couldn't stand you!" The young witch protested. "Bonnie, we never really hated each other. We just saw our own faults in each other." He explained, while pulling her closer against his chest. "You like starring in that mirror and that's exactly the thing between us. We are way too much alike. There are differences between us, differences that are impossibly denied, but we are really alike, my dear. We are each others image and each time we look at each other, it's like we are looking into a mirror. And all in all this was what brought and will keep us together. We are different, but alike in a lot ways. We balance each other out and we are similar enough to put up with each others nonsense." The young witch turned around to look into the eyes of him. "We are each others picture in the mirror, that's why were perfect for each other."
Shout-Outs to the non-account-reviewers:
violetlantern: Thanks for the review. I like this project and selected it especially, because it offers me a lot of different tasks to write. It's a really good exercise.
Vie: Thanks for reviewing again :) I am happy you liked Autumn. It's really a shame, there are a such a lot of couples that don't get any attention, just because there is such a stupid star couple that covers the whole series.
The problem with Germany is that, we don't get most series at all or impossibly way later. For example the last TVD episode they aired in Germany was season 2 episode 10 and now they are having a half a year break, before they'll air the last part of season 2.
I youtubed the couples and I got to say, there surely is chemistry. John's eyes are really pretty, but I think Damon's are unbelievable.
Alexis: Thanks for the review. I am happy you liked it. Well, maybe you'll get a fairytale wedding in one of the coming chapters. Keep reading, please.
