Chapter 8

Everything was silent in the upturned car. Bonnie whimpered, struggling with her seatbelt then falling when she got it off. "What do we do?" She whispered. There was no immediate response from the other people in the car. Bonnie began to think she was the only one who was still consious. But then Elena gasped beside her and, simultaneously, Meredith and Stefan did too. Elena let out a cry and Stefan grunted. Meredith fumbled with her belt. Bonnie rolled over so she was leaning upright. "Is everyone alright? Stefan- can you get out? Meredith do you need help? Elena?" Bonnie realized she was rambling.

"Help-Bonnie. The-seat belt." Elena mumbled, gasping slightly.

Bonnie quickly got to her knees and squirmed towards Elena. She found the lock on the belt and quickly pressed it down til it clicked. Elena felt onto Bonnie. "Are you alright?" Bonnie asked.

"Yes." Elena said.

"Meredith?"

"I've got it." And Meredith fell beside them with a groan.

They lay quietly gasping.

"Stefan?" Elena asked quietly.

"Right here," He grunted.

"Stefan-can you get out?" Bonnie asked.

No answer.

"Stefan?" Elena asked.

"I'll try." A sound of stretching metal and plastic and a thump as Stefan feel onto the roof.

"What was that?" Meredith cried.

Elena's eyes were wide and Stefan was breathing hard in and out.

"I don't know," Bonnie said. "But whatever it was- it's gone now."

"Are you sure?" Stefan asked, his eyes scanning the darkness.

"Very sure."

Meredith kicked her door open and Stefan quickly got out and helped her out. "Thanks," she said. He then tore the door off on Elena's side and helped Elena out. Bonnie shuffled out of the car and dusted glass off her.

"Any injuries?" Meredith asked.

"None," Stefan said, holding Elena close to him.

"Bonnie?"

Bonnie leaned against the upturned car, hugging her arm to her chest. "None that I already had."

"May I see?" Meredith asked.

Bonnie sighed and held her arm out, she couldn't see it, but Meredith gasped when she saw. "Is it that bad?" Bonnie asked.

"We need to get her to a hospital!" Meredith choked out.

"I'm fine," Bonnie said.

"Your white! Your loosing too much blood, Bonnie!"

"It's nothing Mrs Flowers can't fix." Bonnie said, tucking her arm under her jacket. "We're close, anyways. Just around this bend and we'll see the boarding house."

"She's right," Stefan said. "The doctor's will only seal it up- Bonnie needs special help. This is a vampire wound."

Bonnie shuddered.

"Well, let's go then." Elena put in.

"Wait- we don't know if those things are gone yet! Stefan, can you search the area for Power?"

"Sure." Stefan said. All was still and silent for a few moments. "Nothing." He said finally.

Meredith let out a breath. "Okay, let's start walking." Meredith supported most of Bonnie's weight as they walked.

"I think it was the kitsune," Bonnie said. "He seems to enjoy danger and violence."

"Of course," Elena said. "He's a demon."

"Well, not technically. According to Japanese folklore, kitsune are usually known as spirits and serve as messengers to Inari."

"How do you know all of this?" Meredith asked.

"My grandmother is very superstitious and spiritual."

When they finally reached the boarding house Mrs Flowers was waiting outside. "Hurry, hurry. Get inside!" She gestured them in. "Get Bonnie into the den! I've got my herds and bandages ready."

"Thank you, Mrs Flowers." Bonnie said, brushing her arm as she passed.

"Never trust a vampire, dearie." She said, sitting her down and running a light yellow liquid over her arm- the blood immediately stopped. "Except Stefan, of course." Mrs Flowers smiled.

"Do you study herbology?" Bonnie asked, fascinated, watching the older woman work with her herbs.

"Oh, no, not anymore. I used to practice. My mother used to be a medium on vaudeville."

"Interesting."

Stefan and Elena walked into the room. "Is she going to be alright?" Stefan asked.

"Nothing batty old Mrs Flowers can't fix." Mrs Flowers said, now patching up Bonnie arm with bandages.

"We don't think of you that way, Mrs Flowers." Bonnie murmured.

"She won't ... turn?" Elena asked.

"Oh, no, no. She has none of the vampire blood in her, I assume. And not enough of her blood was taken, though there was still a lot. I'll get you a glass of milk, Bonnie." She patted her arm and left the room.

"Well, there's some good news." Meredith said, entering the room.

"I hope nothing else happens tonight though." Bonnie said. "It's been a long night."
