~Bonnie~

It had been a bit of a long walk being we were deep in the old wood. But we'd made it to the road finally.

"The boarding house is up that way." Meredith said pointing up the road

I just started walking in the direction Meredith pointed without saying a word. But I pulled Damon's jacket closer around me to hide the slash in my side. As we approached the boarding house three people came rushing out the door toward us. It was Elena, Matt, and Mrs. Flowers. Stefan landed right beside Matt who was waiting or his turn to tackle me with a hug. Elena wasn't letting go and she sounded like she was crying.. When she pulled back she was crying. She moved to Meredith with the hug fest and before I got the chance o breath Matt tackled me with a hug.

"Matt you're suffocating me." I gasped

He quickly let go.

"Sorry." he mumbled

Then his eyes went hard as he saw Tyler.

"What is HE doing here." Matt hissed

Both him and Stefan started to advance on Tyler. But I stepped in front of him before they could make their next move.

"Don't even think about it. He helped us when we really needed and he's saved my life on more than one occasion. So if you attack him you attack me first." I said

They both paused and stared at Tyler who tried to look everywhere but at them.

"Alright alright well everyone inside so we can discuss this further." Mrs. Flowers said

"Hey Bon why are you wearing Damon's jacket?" Elena asked as we walked inside

So many questions and they just wouldn't be quiet long enough for me or Meredith or really anyone to answer them. Meredith sat back in Sage's arms on the couch while I sat on the couch across from them with Tyler who was abnormally quiet. But I guess if I had a roomful of people staring at me two or three of which would love to rip my throat out I would be quiet too.

"Bonnie come with me we need to get you cleaned up." Mrs. Flowers said

I just nodded and followed her into the kitchen. She grabbed a wet wash cloth and gestured for me to take off the jacket. Doing so she gasped a little looking at the slash.

"This isn't ever going to fully heal it will scar." she said dabbing at it

"I figured as much."

"Was your trip successful?"

"In some ways yes in others not as much." I answered

"Well I'm glad yo each came back n one opiece with what you wanted."

"Not all of us came back."

"Don't be so sure .'

I looked at her confused. She just cleaned up the wound.

"Now go upstairs and sleep. I'm sure you haven't gotten much sleep."

I nodded and stood to walk off then turned back.

"Don't worry I won't let him get ambushed."

I smiled then went upstairs. Walking into my room it seemed unchanged. The letter was still where I left it on my dresser. It was strange calling this my room it's like I'd moved in. A lot of us had rather. The only who hadn't was Matt. Meredith stayed here often enough that is was like she did. Elena did not long after she'd come back from the dead.

After getting changed into sweats I sat back on my bed. I heard the door open but I didn't move. I just looked at the window as if to look out of it.

"Hey Bonnie you alright?"

It was Elena and I had a feeling Meredith was with her.

"Yeah I'm fine just decided to take a trip to the dark dimension but beforehand we made a pit stop at a were wolf bar so Damon could sell me off to a shifter so we could get into the dark dimension. That's when we ran into Meredith and Sage."

"What were you guys even doing in the dark dimension and why did you leave Damon down there?" Elena exclaimed

"We were down there getting you and Stefan a little gift." I said

Then I remembered that I didn't have it. I looked at Meredith wide eyed.

"Relax I have it. It's downstairs." she said

I let out a deep breath.

"And Damon left us we didn't leave him." I said

"What did you get that you thought was so important you had us worried half to death." Elena asked looking at both of us

I got up not saying a word and Meredith followed suit making Elena squirm. We went downstairs and Elena wouldn't be quiet she kept asking. Meredith walked over and picked up the flower she must've laid on the coffee table. Then she walked over to Stefan and held it out to him. He took it cautiously. Then he smelled it taking in the scent of it deeply. Then his eyes bolted open and he dropped to the ground. He seemed o be gasping for air like Damon had after he'd smelled the flower. Elena rushed to his side but he just pulled away from her trying to breath.

"You went back to get this?" he gasped looking at me

"It wasn't just me it was all of us." I said then went back up stairs

My feet seemed to drag behind me with every step. I closed my door so that I wouldn't be bothered. I just figured that they could celebrate or do whatever they like without me. I fell on my bed not bothering with the covers and fell asleep.

I stood in the backyard under the shadow of the tree looking up at her window.

"Sleep well little witch." I said to myself "I will see you soon to claim what I own."
