~Bonnie~
I woke alone a few hours later. Coming out of the room I saw Tyler sitting at a table.
"Hey." I said as I put the clips back in my hair
"Hey sleep well?" he asked
"Eh I slept as well as could be expected."
He nodded in agreement.
"So could you tell me where exactly we are?"
"It's a long story Tyler."
He laughed.
"Yeah I've noticed there are a lot of long stories with you and Meredith."
I nodded. Then I heard Meredith come in.
"You two are up…early." she said sitting down beside me
"We're just thinking here Meredith." I said
"About?"
"About how we don't even know where to start looking for humanity."
Her brow furrowed a little as she sat there thinking.
"We didn't plan that far ahead did we?" I asked
"No I don't think so."
"Good thing I did." said a voice from behind making us all jump
I turned around. We all froze.
"Drake." I heard Tyler growl
"The one and only so don't forget it mutt." he snarled
Tyler stood. He looked as if he were ready to tear Drake's throat out.
"Easy now." Sage said entering the room with Damon not far behind
"Drake are you saying you know how to get humanity?" Damon asked
"As much as it reeks yes. I can get in and out as well as get things humans could only dream of. It's my job." he answered
The room went silent.
"Fine but what's in it for you?" I asked
"Oh I think you already know." he said winking at me
He made me want to vomit.
~Damon~
The tensions in the room were rising.
"Drake where do we start?" I asked
"Well let's go see my boss for starts maybe he can give you some pointers."
I looked over at Bonnie and she didn't have the usual terrified look on her face instead it was replaced with a look of determination. So this is what it felt like to be human. The feeling kept growing and I wasn't sure what to make of it. It had all been long gone for centuries and then it just came back all at once.
"Let's go then." Bonnie said as she put a cloak on her small shoulders
Sage and Meredith nodded in agreement. Then Sage attached the chains to each of our bracelets. Drake laughed silently.
"Care to share what's so funny?" I hissed
"Never thought I'd live to see Damon Salvatore in chains." he laughed
I took a step forward ready to attack. But someone grabbed my arm. I looked to see it was Meredith.
"Not now." she ordered
I sighed in defeat. Damn conscience. Usually I wouldn't listen and rip his throat out anyways but we needed him. Even if he was a complete idiot.
"Well shall we go then?" she asked
"We shall." Drake said moving aside
I watched as the girls walked out with Tyler following behind.
"Relax Damon you can get back at him later when we've gotten what we've comer for." Sage said
I nodded and walked out. How could a human live with so many emotions. It made me want to commit suicide for how much I felt. It made me wonder why people weren't crazy.
I climbed into one of the litters.
~Bonnie~
I was silent mainly because I was trying to think of a way to get rid of Drake when the time came. Not to mention what was going on right now with the humanity problem. Then all of the sudden something fell to my feet. It was a small ball.
"It couldn't be…" I trailed off
I picked up the small ball. It was a star ball. It held memories of people. You would just hold it to your temple think of the memory you want to put in it. This one had seemed empty. I held it to my temple and thought of the memory that I loved the most. A few minutes later I put the ball into the small bag I'd brought with me.
The litter stopped and I stepped out. We'd arrived in front of a large house. Granted it was no mansion but it was fairly large and it reminded me of colonial times. Then I felt my chain yank causing me to snap out of my daze.
"Uh sorry." I mumbled catching up
Walking up to the door behind Sage the door opened before he knocked.
"Ah Sage I expected you sooner. And Drake long time no see." the person said
Sage bowed his head in greeting. The person looked past him at us.
"Quite the assortment there. A human a werewolf and a witch…" he trailed off
He was looking at Damon.
"You…were dead at one point…a vampire?"
Damon didn't say anything.
"I'm sorry I'm being rude I am Rynlia. Please come in." he said stepping aside
Sage did so pulling us along. Walking past I looked up at him curiously and he did the same. I noticed many tails behind him.
"You're a kitsune." I said
Rynlia just smiled down at me. I had a bad feeling about this. Last time we messed with fox spirits it didn't end well. Apparently or rewound't be here to begin with.
Rynlia gestured us to sit as he joined us in the sitting area.
"May I ask why you are here dear Sage? I haven't seen you for a few decades." Rynlia asked
"I was wondering if you could help me."
"With?"
"Humanity." I said
Rynlia looked at me.
"So you do speak. Why do you want humanity little one you already have it." he said
"I don't want it for myself I want it for a friend who I feel deserves it." I answered
"Ah selfless. I see."
Damon looked at me and gave me a look that basically said to be quiet but it was a bit late for that.
"Well child I'm not sure what I can do-"
"Look you have no idea what it's taken to get here." I snapped
Rynlia's brows rose in surprise.
"I was at a werewolf bar I was sold to an idiot shifter. not to mention this is the last place wanted to come back here." I hissed
"You have been here?"
"Yes and let me tell you this place gives me nightmares even when I'm awake."
He sat there looking at me then he looked at the others.
"Hmmm you seem to be determined on this. I can give an alternative but you must survive in order to get what you've come for." he said
"Uhhh survive what?" Tyler asked out of the blue
"Three." Rynlia said
