Chapter Four – Death on Two Legs
22 October 2010
As Jessica drove Beth and Bonnie into town she couldn't help but feel amazed that a small, peaceful town like this could be the home to some of the most dangerous of creatures.
"Well, I say this; you have a lot of stores here... You, me, and Bonnie so have to go shopping later," Beth said. She was always excited for a chance to gain new clothes and shoes.
"If you had a permanent residence, you would fill it with clothes in seconds, wouldn't you, Beth?" Jessica chuckled at Beth with a big grin.
"So Bonnie, what kind of restaurant do you have in town. I know for a fact that Beth here hasn't stopped talking about burgers and fries since we drove through Washington."
"Well, we have the towns Bar… Café… Restaurant, or whatever; the Mystic Grill. You turn left two streets down, then at the end of the street, turn right. It has a massive sign; you can't miss it, or the fact that, at this hour, probably everyone is headed that way." Jessica raised an eyebrow towards Bonnie, who just shrugged. "We don't have that many options."
Beth started laughing toward Bonnie's comment, as Jessica drove into the parking lot outside of Mystic Grill.
"So this is it, huh? Well it sure looks popular, based on all the cars out here." Jessica stepped carefully out of the car, trying not to dent the vehicle next to her.
"Jess, do you think we should bring some…" Beth said, and then whispered, "weapons?" In a normal tone, she added, "I mean, you never know… remember Seattle?"
"Trying hard not to– that was a weird gig. The vampires truly took you by surprise, but lucky you, who has a rarely powerful witch as a sidekick."
Beth just rolled her eyes as she opened the trunk and took out three stakes, one for each one of them, and handed them out.
"Should we bring guns?" Jessica asked Beth, who just shook her head. "No? Fine, let's go inside, I'm starving."
As soon as they entered, Jessica knew she was going to like this place. U2's Stuck in a Moment You Can't Out Have played in the background. Everyone seemed to have a good time, which just made Jessica smile.
Bonnie led them to a table in the corner, and as soon as they had sat down, a blond young man showed up behind Bonnie.
"Welcome to Mystic Grill, what can I– Hey Bonnie, I didn't see you there. Making new friends?"
"Hey Matt, this is Jessica and her sister B–"
"Bethany, but my friends call me Beth," Beth said, batting her eyelashes towards Matt, who started to look very uncomfortable.
"Are all the 'hired' waitresses sick today, since you're doing their work?" Bonnie said, trying to change the subject.
"Jillian had to go early, her son got ill, and she asked me to cover for her, so you're stuck with me. Oh what a bang-up job I'm doing; I almost forgot to give you your menus. I'll be back in a few minutes–"
"No, I think we can make this quick. I have the… Chicken Special with rice and a… Diet Coke," Jessica said. "Beth… Beth! Earth to Bethany! You still want that Burger and Fries, sis?"
Still staring at Matt, Beth just nodded. "Yes Burger and Fries, and a Sprite, please."
"Caesar Salad, Bonnie?" Matt knew it was her favorite, and the one she most of the time ordered.
"Yeah, sounds good, and a Dr. Pepper, please."
"I'm on it, anything else?" All three witches said no, and Beth kept watching Matt as he walked away.
"Wow, Beth. That was just… embarrassing."
"Well, Jess, Not all of us can be all 'work first, guys later.'"
"I'm offended! I don't always put work first! I just don't have time or energy to hunt men all of the time, like you, Beth."
That was the moment when Matt came up with their drinks, but this time Beth was more focused on her sister than Matt.
"Well, I think it's time to talk about you, Bonnie, instead of 'Ms. Promiscuous' over here." Jessica said after Matt had gone. Beth gave Jessica the evil eye. "I don't remember how old you are, but I guess that you're still in high school."
"Yes, it's my senior year, but after graduation I want to study magic or maybe even start a Magic Shop."
"Yeah? Jessica and I have a few spells you might find interesting. How long have you been practicing magic? Our dad started training each of us when we started school."
"I haven't been doing witch-stuff that long—only a few years. But after my Grams died, I learned mostly by reading Grimoires and testing spells."
"So you mean you weren't trained? That's just awful, but I think that Beth and I can teach you some tricks. For instance, there is this spell that our grandfather used to do, that stops–" Jessica stopped as she suddenly felt a vibrating feeling running through her body. That could only mean one thing; something supernatural, mostly likely vampires, was close by.
"I sense it too," Beth's entire body was on edge, not knowing what would happen next.
"Sense what? What's going on?" Bonnie couldn't help feeling left out.
"You mean, you can't feel it?" Jessica was surprised, because at some level, all witches and warlocks are supposed to be able to detect any supernatural being. Maybe since Bonnie wasn't as well-trained as herself and Beth, she couldn't detect them at the same distance.
"Jess, I really think we should talk about this later," Beth said, as she slowly walked toward the front door and tried to look out the window.
"That's what I keep telling you; B positive is so much tastier than AB negative," Caroline Forbes talked to Stefan Salvatore as they entered the restaurant.
"Bonnie, I think we should try to get all of these people out of here," Jessica whispered, as she was about to join Beth.
"Wait! Caroline, Stefan, come and sit with us," Bonnie desperately tried to come up with a plan that didn't include the death of her friends.
"What are you doing?" snarled Jessica to Bonnie.
"Jessica, these are my friends, Caroline and Stefan… Stefan, have you seen Elena today. I tried to call her before, but she didn't answer."
"She's outside with Damon. How do you all know each other?" Caroline inquired as she sat down beside Jessica, who immediately turned hostile.
"I'm Jessica, and this is my sister Beth," Jessica signaled Beth to sit at the table, "and we're old friends of the Bennetts." Jessica tried to stay calm, but she was really on edge. "But we should probably get going since–"
"Come on, you can't say that you prefer Alice over Rosalie, without a good explanation," Damon said towards Elena with a small smile as they both walk toward the table.
Seeing Elena made both Jessica and Beth to suddenly drop everything and without a word, dragged Bonnie outside, and toward the car.
"Beth, you grab the shotgun, and I take the bow and arrow. What's your favorite weapon, Bonnie?" Jessica asked as she finally stopped walking and turned towards Bonnie.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU TWO?" Bonnie was yelling at the sisters. "Those people in there, they are my friends, and yes they are vampires, but I don't want them dead."
"Bonnie, listen carefully to me. Those "people" you call friends, are murderers, and most of all, dangerous! That brown hair girl is even more dangerous. We have fought her before, and she killed our brother!"
"Wait! Just wait! That can't be Elena, because–"
"Her name isn't Elena, Bonnie, it's Katherine!"
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.
