Matt decided to follow the two strange men. He headed out of the grill and crossed the park in to the centre of town. Mystic Falls was busy. It was summer. The town attracted a lot of tourists. Families would fall down upon the town for weeks during the summer. It didn't bother Matt. He was used to it and Mystic Falls was a lovely town. A snap shot of picture perfect U.S.A. If they got leave town with their lives that was. After all, thousands of people went missing every year while off on vacation. No. It had to stop.
The two men looked to be in their early twenties. Good looking, why are they always good looking thought Matt? Supernatural beings, what, was it like a rule? No fat or small or average size humans need not apply? He ducked past a family coming out of a coffee shop. The two men in front of him were picking up their pace. They just crossed the main road. As Matt turned to cross he saw her. Bonnie. She was already on the other side of the road. She looked back over her shoulder. The two guys were looking right at her. She's being followed though Matt. But why?
Bonnie was heading out of the centre of town. Her pursuers still right behind her. Matt had to move quickly to keep up. But it was getting harder and harder to disguise the fact he was following both parties. Soon it would be obvious. All it took was for one of them to turn around. There amount of people in this part of town were few and far between. Bonnie chanced another look over her shoulder. Matt ducked back behind a tree, he caught her chanting. She was doing a spell. Whatever this was about it was serious. When he looked back Bonnie was running, the two men ran after her. No more pretence.
As Matt made to run after them a gust of wind hit him, he pushed against it, the two men in front of him caught up in the same gale. They stopped and linked hands. What are they doing thought Matt? Suddenly the gales vanished. Bonnie ran down a side street, behind a row of stores that had shut down the year prior. Everything became clear to Matt. These two men were witches or wizards or ...shit...warlocks, whatever the hell they call themselves. He ran to the other side of the street and hopped up onto the wall, shimmying up onto the fire escape that led along the side and behind the buildings.
He saw Bonnie, she was ducked down behind some large bins, backing away towards a small opening in the far wall which would give her a escape into the woods. It would be easier for Bonnie to double back and head back into town. Get help. She grabbed her phone. Matt stayed hidden up top on the fire escape. No sooner had she begun to dial a number the cell phone flew out of her hand and shattered against the wall.
"No!" cried Bonnie.
She leaped up and ran for the hole in the wall. Suddenly the soil fell in around it and filled it up. She was trapped. Like a rat in a bucket. Two shadows moved into the ally. The two men walked towards her. Grinning, relishing her peril. Matt had to make a decision. Bonnie...wasn't guilty...was she?
"Ah the Bennett bitch" said one
"Finally, retribution will be served" said the other.
"No. NO! You don't understand. It wasn't me. I didn't kill Luka or Jonas." she screamed
"That's like blaming a bullet for murdering someone after you pull the fucking trigger". said the first. He held up his hand.
"The time for sorry has LONG past. Time to die bitch"
Matt watched in shock as the the first warlock slowly formed a fist and Bonnie's screams began to be cut off. Shock soon turned to indifference. She was guilty assumed Matt. Just like the others. A bringer of death and sorrow. He watched with morbid curiosity as Bonnie's head was slowly crushed by an unseen force. Magic, figured Matt. There was sickening 'CRUNCH' and an explosion of crimson and then what used to be Bonnie fall forwards. Very dead. Matt sat on the fire escape looking down at her body, waiting until the two males had left and he smiled. One less monster to worry about.
