A/N: Still the same chapter as before, I'm working on a rewrite, Sorry...
Since I could not find any direct instructions were Mystic Falls was located, more than in southern Virginia, so I placed my Mystic Falls around Petersburg, Virginia, United States
Eliza Dushku as Jessica Evans
Maggie Grace as Bethany "Beth" Evans
Links to pictures of Jessica and Beth outfits can be found on my profile.
Loves to get Review's ... so please write one, after you have finished reading!

Chapter Three – Virginia
Nine miles north of Mystic Falls, Virginia 6.07 PM (Eastern Time) 22 October 2010
When two people spend 15 hours on the road together, especially if both of them have had about 2 hours of sleep the night before, it can be exhausting. A few hours after Jessica and Beth left Chicago, the tension was high. They couldn't decide on the music, topics to talk about, where they should eat. With how uncomfortable it is to sleep in a car, it was a miracle that they hadn't killed each other.
"Beth, wake up! We're starting to get close, and we need to find out where the local Bennett witches are," Jessica pulled over the grey SUV and handed Beth a city map of Mystic Falls and a knife, "and for that, we need a locator spell."
"Why is it always me who has to do the small spells? Just because I'm not as powerful as you doesn't mean–"
"Don't you get started about that again; just do as you're told. I know that you're tired, but hopefully we can get some rest when we're at the Bennett's."
Beth looked angry at Jessica before sighing and unfolding the map, using the knife to cut her hand. She let the blood drop on the map as she chanted quietly. Instantly, the blood started to move towards its destination, and then it stopped.
"There it is; now let's get going. You know what, why don't you drive? I can barely keep my eyes open."
Beth nodded, unbuckled her seatbelt, got out of the car, and switched places with Jessica.
"Just none of that crappy music of yours."
"What's wrong with dance music? It keeps me awake. Sure beats your playlist; you mix almost every type of music there is. At least I picked a genre."
Jessica gave an irritated look towards Beth and tried to get comfortable to achieve some sleep. Suddenly Beth put on Metallica's Of Wolf and Man on high volume. Jessica jumped in her seat, staring shocked and angry at Beth.
"What? I thought you would be happy that it wasn't dance music," Beth said with a huge smirk on her face as she drove off.
Outside Bennett household, Mystic Falls, Virginia
"We're here, Jess. Are you sure this is the right house?"
Jessica stepped out of the car and looked around– a single tear falling from her eye.
"Yes, I know this is the right house. I haven't told you this but I lived here for about six months around o-three, o-four. I had recently finished high school and was going to start hunting vampires full time. You lived with Grant and Stephanie. Sheila Bennett was living here with her son-in-law and her granddaughter, Bonnie. Sheila was a great witch, and she taught me a lot. I think Sheila's daughter was named Amanda, Alice, something… Abby, her name was Abby, but she didn't live in town– I don't remember why though."
"So what? Are we going to stay here? They might not even remember you… or even know that we're related to them."
"Then we'll tell them who we are, and if they still don't want us, we'll find another way. So– Shall we?"
Jessica and Beth both took a deep breath and walked up to the door, and Beth rang the bell. After about a minute and still no one came to the door, Beth started to get impatient, and rang the bell again.
"Maybe this was a mistake to come here… maybe we should–" Beth said, as the door was opened by Bonnie.
"Hello, I'm Jessica, and this is my sister Beth. We're looking for Sheila Bennett."
"That's my Grams, but she died little over a year ago."
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. But that must mean you're Bonnie. You have grown so much!" Bonnie looked at Jessica, confused. "Maybe you don't remember me. I lived with your family for about six months about eight or nine years ago. You and me, we used to play Hide and Seek, and I used to braid your hair."
"I–I think I remember you, but didn't you use to have shorter, blue hair?"
Jessica chuckled. "Yes, my crazy-hair period."
"It's starting to get cold out there… maybe we should continue talking inside?" Bonnie said, without a direct invitation. Jessica took this as a sign that Bonnie knew about vampires. Jessica just nodded, and they all got inside.
"Could I borrow your bathroom? It was a long trip and I would like to refresh," Beth asked, and turned towards the way Bonnie pointed at.
"Maybe we could continue talking in the living room," Bonnie suggested, and they both sat down on one of the big couches.
"So, what are you guys doing in Mystic Falls, except for a trip along Memory Lane?" Bonnie was curious to know more about Jessica and her life during all this years.
"I have to ask you– do you know that we have a common ancestor; Emily Bennett?"
"We do? I– I know a lot about Emily, but I didn't know that you related to her, too."
"Well, Emily had four children, and her two oldest were twins, Kaitlyn and Juliette. You are related to Juliette and, Beth and I, to Kaitlyn. Anyway, last night I had a dream where Emily appeared, telling me that your town has problem with vampires, mainly the Originals… You do know about vampires, right?"
Bonnie nodded, and then it hit her; one of them must be the witch Emily was supposed to help her find. Bonnie was relieved that Emily came through, after all.
This was the moment that Beth came into the room, and sat down in an armchair opposite the others.
"I was the one that asked Emily to find you. I'm tired of being pushed around by vampires, and the way they always find a way to threaten the ones I care about. My mom told me that she had heard rumors about a powerful witch, which I guess is one of you."
Beth immediately pointed at Jessica, who just ignored her sister.
"Wait; did you say your mom? I have never met her. Does she live here? I would like to get to know her."
"Yes, she lives her, but I feel that I have to tell you… she's a vampire."
"WHAT?" Both Jessica and Beth got really shocked. "How did this happen?"
"Well, it's a long story, but it has to do with the Originals."
Both of them paused.
"I don't know about you, but I'm starting to get really hungry, so why don't we get something to eat and you tell us all about your problems?"
So, What do you think? Have any Questions? Any objections? Anything that was extra good? Got any ideas? Write me a review and let me know.
