Chapter 7

"We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person."

-Jacques Maritain

Bonnie had been catching up with her cousin Nate as they rode to his home in North Carolina. She had asked how everyone was doing and after Nate had answered so vaguely she left it alone. The rest of the ride consisted of her and Tyler jamming out to music with Nate joining in occasionally. When they finally arrived Bonnie had gotten out stretching her legs. "That was a longer ride then I remember."

"You're probably just anxious to see everyone." Nate said trying to help his cuz relax.

"Maybe."

"I hate being crunched up in the back of that car," Elena said after Stefan had helped her out, "on the way back Ty and I are switching."

The wolf looked at the brunette shaking his head no, "How about you just add extra luggage in that car and you can ride with us. I mean this is a SUV."

Bonnie grinned at her friends as she walked back towards Damon. "How was the trip?"

"Long. But next time I'm riding with you. Your cousin can ride with Stefan, Elena, and Tyler."

Smiling she placed her arms around his waist and a kiss on his lips, "I promise."

"So this is home." Nate said shutting the door to his car.

"This is a big house. It's bigger than the manor." Ty grabbed his bag as he spoke.

"Yeah it has ten rooms, an attic, a basement, sun room, library, and a massive back yard."

"This place sounds like a boarding school."

"It was until 20 years ago. A lady named Mrs. Flowers sold it to us. She now lives on the beach in Florida." Nate opened the door leading them inside. They were standing in the front room when they placed their bags down for a minute. "So I sat up the rooms already. Bonnie and Damon can have her old room. Stefan and Elena can have the room next to me and Jasmine and Lockwood can take the room next to Bonnie's."

They all dispersed as Nate took Stefan and Elena to a room and Bonnie led Ty to his room and then Damon to theirs. "These are nice." Damon said dropping his bag and plopping on the bed. "I might like it here."

"We won't be here to long, so don't get attached." Once everything was unpacked she had left Damon in the room to find Nate. She didn't know why but silence in the house that was usually loud made her long for the noise. Bonnie went to visit the library to see Nate with his head in a book.

"Where is everyone?"

"They went out for dinner." There was a pause.

"They didn't want to be here when I got here." The witch asked hoping that it wasn't true.

"Well they didn't know you were coming."

"What do you mean they didn't know I was coming?"

"Only Jasmine knows." After getting a taste of the infamous Bennett stare he continued to explain. "I just didn't want them to get to excited if you weren't going to come. Last time you left us, remember?"

"Yeah I do."

"You just up and disappeared not a word. We were all worried, until Josh calmed us down telling us that you were okay."

"I'm sorry. I really am but it was something I needed to do. I couldn't stay anymore."

"Why? Did we do something wrong?"

"No," Bonnie said soothingly, "It was time for me to go." Was all she said, causing Nate to rub his temple.

"That's the only reason you can give me."

"I can't explain it Nate but can you just trust that I was doing the right thing."

"Fine. If you say so." He turned to see the lights from a vehicle shining through. "They're here." He passed Bonnie and went out into the hall as she followed him.

In the front room she had seen her friends making their way to the front room and taking their places beside her.

"I can't believe we did that." The feminine voice said stepping into the room and the witch recognized it right away. "It was fun. Besides I needed to relax."

"I don't know why you find shooting guns at people is a good way for you to calm yourself."

"What can I say?" The brunette said staring at the dark haired man.

"Next time though I'll be the one kicking your ass at paintball." The two stopped going at it long enough to see a group of people watching them.

"What are they doing here?" She looked over the group until one person stood out. "If it isn't Bonnie Bennett." Megan said smile forming on her face. She moved over to pull the young woman into a warm embrace.

"Don't forget about my hug." Evan had shoved Meg's body out the way and got his hug from the beautiful witch. "It's been so long. How have you been?"

"Good, actually." She turned towards Jasmine who had been just entered and gave her a hug as well.

"Uhhh, does he know that she's coming?" The dark haired male had asked turning towards Meg, Nate, and Jazz.

"We shouldn't have stopped to make out in the woods." The deep voice rang, opening the door.

"But aren't you glad we did." Mmm, they heard the female moan as the man with blond cropped hair placed kisses on her neck. The woman stopped him, smiling embarrassingly as she spoke. "Didn't know we were having company?"

The green eyed man turned around getting ready to apologize when his eyes met another pair of mossy brown ones. Everyone in the room could feel the tension and awkwardness of the two people staring at one another.

"So who is this?" The blonde female asked looking at all the unknown faces around the room.

Bonnie held out her hand to the beautiful woman. "My name's Bonnie."

"HI I'm Sara and this is…"

"Josh." The witch had finished for her. "I used to live here a few years ago."

"Sounds cool." Sara turned to Josh who was still silent and staring at Bonnie. Damon was actually getting annoyed with the fact that he wouldn't stop so he interlocked his fingers with Bonnie who in turn smiled up to him.

"Are you going to speak? Josh?" she pulled his face towards her and he broke out of his trance like state. "I said are you going to speak?" he turned away from Sara and back to Bonnie.

"I'm sorry Bonnie."

"It's okay." He brought her into a hug. Damon could see something between the two he didn't want to see but he told himself that he had to stop inventing problems where there wasn't one.

As everyone watched the sensual hug between the two, everyone picked up something different. But the common thing between all these thoughts was that these two people really cared for each other. The way they held on to one another as if to never let go and everything was better in each other arms. Damon would ask Bonnie about it later but for right now he just wanted her to get off of the man. He cleared his throat causing the two to back away from each other.

"Let me introduce you to my friends Elena, Stefan, and Tyler, and my boyfriend Damon."

"Why do those names sound familiar?" Evan asked looking over to his friends.

"Those are the infamous names that led to Bonnie leaving Mystic Falls in the first place." Josh answered getting guilty looks from the Mystic Falls group. "Remember we had to hear her complain for like two weeks."

"Yeah, the Salvatore vampire brothers and the Doppelganger." Meg spoke up.

"Then who is he?"

"I'm Tyler. The werewolf."

"Wow how many supernatural creatures live in that little town of yours." Jazz added crossing her arms.

"A lot." She smiled.

"I thought you hated them, especially the blue eyed one." Josh asked looking directly to Damon. "You said vampires disgusted you."

"Well they did but not all are bad. Stefan and Damon have their problems just like any of us."

"I still can't believe you're dating one." He continued to talk getting a low growl from Damon.

"Listen, don't be a hypocrite. Your pretty blonde over there is one as well."Bonnie got agitated as she answered him. Sara looked over to the brunette confused.

"How'd you know?" Sara asked not sure what was going on.

"I'm a witch too sweetie."

"Are you a Celtic druid like Josh?"

"No I'm a Salem witch." Bonnie couldn't help the glare that she was giving the warlock. He was acting just like was the first time they met. She could tell that Josh was about to take another shot at Damon and she was ready for a quarrel.

Before an argument could break out between the two Nate stood between them. "You know what, it's getting late. Let's get some sleep and resume this awkward yet entertaining meeting tomorrow." With that everyone separated to their own rooms for the night.

A/N: So there you have it. Bonnie and the crew have finally met the others. For these characters I took the time and cast these actors in the place of the new group. If you don't know who they are you could look them up on Google. But I'm pretty sure most know who at least some of these people are.
