Bonnie's P.O.V

I woke up late in the afternoon after the party last night. I walked into the kitchen only to be met with my parents. The distraught looks on their faces had me on edge. "What's wrong?"

My parents exchanged glances before my dad turned to me. "It's your grandmother." He cautiously stated.

I became more alert as I asked, "What happened? Is she okay?"

My mom smiled sadly at me. "Her illness may have gotten worse."

I stayed silent, taking everything in as my dad continued. "We're going to visit her for the weekend."

I nodded, "Do you want me to pack a bag?"

"No," My parents said, simultaneously.

"No?"

"We just don't think it would be best right now." My mom explained.

"You don't think I'll be able to handle it." I scoffed

"We just don't want to get you worked up." My dad stepped in. "We're sure it's nothing."

I nodded, unconvinced at his statement. I was tired of people keeping things from me. I sighed frustrated as I left the kitchen. I headed up until my room to watch TV. After an hour, my mom informed me that they were leaving and they would check in when they got there. I nodded to show that I was listening, and waved as they left. I watched them drive away before heading back upstairs. My eyes went toward my parents room as I reached the top of the stairs. My curiosity got the better of me as I headed into the room. I walked over to the nightstand trying to find something that would give me a clue on what they were keeping from me.

After a few moments of searching, I came across a weird book from my parents closet. I reached for it, noting how dusty and old it looked. I opened the book slowly, studying it with interest. The first page had manuscript that looked to be over centuries old. I struggled to read the words that were in the book.

To Invoke a witch's powers

I looked closer to make sure I heard it right. Witches? There was no such thing. I continued to read on. I saw a name that intrigued me.

Emily McCullough.

She must have been the one to write this, I thought. I spoke the next part out loud as I read.

"Past and present, present and past

I call upon the powers of the first and last

Hear my plea within this hour

And-"

A knock on the door stopped me from finishing. I stood up quickly, worried that it was my parents again. After stashing the book back, I hurried out of the room. I rushed down the stairs, my breath now labored due to my panic. I opened the door and let out a huge sigh of relief at the sight of Caroline. "Hey," She said, stepping pass me. "I have a big favor to ask you."

I struggled to catch my breath as I replied, "Caroline, I don't think-"

"You have to. I'm not taking no for an answer."

"What do you need?" I asked, tiredly.

"Some of us are meeting at the grill tonight."

"And…"

"I asked Matt if he wanted to come with, but then he started asking if it was a date, and I freaked and told him you were coming too."

"Why me?" I asked folding my arms. "And why not tell him the truth?"

She gave me a 'you should know better' look before responding. "That would be a disaster."

I chuckled at her. "Why do I have to play third wheel?"

"That's the best part you won't be the third wheel. Matt invited Tyler to come along."

"Tyler?"

"I just said yesterday how good of a couple you two make." Her smiled brightened. "It's like it was fate."

I shook my head at her reasoning. "I don't know…I wanted to stick close to home today. I'm still tired from the party. And I'm expecting a call from my parents. They're visiting my sick grandmother."

"I'm sorry Bon." I nodded in response to her comment. "But this could be the thing that will get your mind off of things."

She never gives up. "Fine."

"Yay!" She said, happily. "Lets go find you something to wear."

Elena's P.O.V.

I had been heading to the room I shared with Stefan after coming back from hunting. I found Stefan on the bed reading. I couldn't help but to smile at the sight. "How many times are you going to read that book?"

He looked up as I entered. "I didn't hear you come in."

I smiled, "I wouldn't hear me either if I was buried in a book." He returned my smile. "Are Meredith and Sage here?"

His smile turned into a smirk. "They're in their room… 'talking'."

"Oh, it's nice to know Meredith's feeling better."

"Yeah."

"I been working on my shifting." I said, changing the subject. "I'm getting better it's just hard with me not feeding on humans."

"Speak for yourself." A new voice joined in.

I sighed, "Damon."

"Elena…Brother."

"I thought we all agreed to keep off human blood." I said

"No," He said, slowly. "I agreed to not kill anyone. I get to feed, no one dies, everyone wins."

"And who wins if you get caught?" Stefan asked

"I'm no amateur, brother. And as I recall I'm not the one who ate someone because 'they were hitting on my boyfriend'".

I frowned as I took in his statement. "I was new. I couldn't control myself."

"Right, I forgot it takes you over 100 years to adjust." He said, sarcasm evident in his voice.

"Is there any reason why you're here?" Stefan asked

"Can't a person just say hello?" He said, now flashing his bright smile.

"Sure, an actual person can. You can't." I replied.

"I'm going to get something to eat. And unlike your dinner, mine won't have fur." He said before leaving.

"I'm worried about him." I said

"I hate to admit it, but he does know what he's doing."

"I meant…he hasn't been the same since…Katherine."

"I know."

"Should we do anything about it?"

He sighed, "I don't know if we can do anything."

Bonnie's P.O.V.

"Come on Bonnie." Caroline said as we arrived at the Grill. "Why are you lagging behind?"

I rolled my eyes. "Maybe because you basically set me up on a date with Tyler to have Matt to yourself."

"Give it a chance."

"Okay." I relented

"There they are." She pointed to a booth toward the back. "How do I look?"

"Desperate." I said, jokingly. She glared at me and playfully hit me. "I'm joking. You look great."

We made our way over to them. "Hey ladies." Matt said.

"Hey." Caroline said before nudging me. I put on a smile and echoed her.

Caroline made a move to sit by Matt, leaving me next to Tyler. I sat down awkwardly next to him. He turned to me and smiled. "How you doing, Bonnie?"

"I'm fine. You?"

"Not bad."

"Tyler and I already got drinks before you came."

"No problem we'll go order something." I moved to stand, but noticed Caroline didn't budge. "You coming, Care?"

"No, I'm good."

I nodded as I made my way over to the bar. I waited until someone came over to take my order. When a voice came behind and startled me. "Drinking alone?"

I turned to see Damon's smirking face. "No, I'm here with friends."

"Caroline." He knowingly stated. "I think that's the first time I heard someone call her a friend."

"What happened with you guys?" I asked

"Nothing of much importance." He said, nonchalant.

"It's important to me."

He opened his mouth to reply but a female voice cut him off. "Damon, our drinks are up." We both turned our attention to the blond. She went to our school, but I didn't know her name. I realized that she hadn't even paid attention to me because her eyes were glued to Damon.

He turned back to me, smiling lazily. "See you around."

I watched as he walked off with the blond on his arm. After I had got my drink I made my way back over to everyone. I noticed that everyone was smiling when I sat down. "What did I miss?"

"Not much." Matt said

"We were talking about last night's party." Tyler added

"Did you see how drunk Vicki got?"

I smiled at the memory of Vicki getting carried away by Dick last night. "Does that always happen?" I asked

"Always with Vick." Tyler said

"You would know." Caroline said

I turned to Tyler, "Why?"

"He and Vicky used to go out."

I laughed as I raised an eyebrow. Those two as a couple surprised me. Also they didn't really seem to go together.

"It was a long time ago. I'm interested in other things now. " For a moment I thought his eyes flashed to me before he smirked.

A song came on in the grill, and I saw Caroline's eyes light up. "I love this song." She turned to Matt, "Dance with me?"

Matt looked awkward before saying, "Care, I don't dance."

"Too bad." She said before grabbing his hand and pulling him away.

Tyler and I laughed at the pair. "When are those two losers gonna stop it?" Tyler asked

"Stop what?"

"Acting like they don't like each other."

I nodded, "No clue."

"All I ever hear anymore is: 'Do you think Caroline's seeing anyone'."

" 'Do you think Matt will like this outfit?'" I joined in, laughing.

"And now they're dragging us in the middle."

"They're my friends, I guess I don't mind." I said, indifferently.

"Well, I do." He suddenly turned back to me. "Did you ride here with Caroline?"

I nodded, "Yeah, why?"

"Matt rode with me." I urged him to continue. "If we leave together, Matt will have to ride with her."

"Forcing them to be alone." I realized, "I'm in."

"We should get out of here then."

We waited until they came back to the booth. We exchanged glances before I spoke, "Caroline, I'm not feeling too well."

"Yeah, I'm taking her home."

"No!" Caroline and Matt said in unison.

"It's fine. Care can drive you home." We quickly got up after saying bye, leaving them in a state of shock.

"Where's your car?" I asked once we got outside.

Tyler pointed to a black car across from us. "Wow."

He smirked as he took in my response. "It's not much."

"You're crazy." I said while getting into the car.

He gave me a smile. "I've been told worse things."

I smiled at him and realized despite all my protest, I was enjoying the night. I gave him directions to my home, making conversation as he drove. When we arrived, I told him bye and made a move to exit the car. "Wait!" Tyler called, causing me to turn back to him.

"What is it?"

His face had shown something like…shyness…hesitance? "I was wondering if you want to go out again? You and me?"

I went into a state of momentary shock as I realized he just asked me on a date. "Umm…Tyler…"

"Just as friends." He quickly added

I nodded, "Okay."

His smile brightened as he looked back at me. "Alright, we can get together soon."

"Great. I'll see you." I said as I left out the car and went inside.

Two hours later, I found myself drifting to sleep.

I opened my eyes again and found myself somewhere outside. I looked around and noticed how beautiful the place was. There were trees and flowers everywhere. The air was fresh. Something about this place made me feel comfortable. I closed my eyes as I took in everything around me.

"Do you like it?" A voice asked behind me. I spun around to be met with a redhead women. Her skin was pale, I noticed that her eyes were a mixture of green and hazel. She merely smiled at me while I stared at her. "It's my old home."

"It's beautiful." I whispered

"I need you to listen, Bonnie." She said, her voice now solemn. "Something is coming. You have to be ready."

"Ready for what?"

Ignoring my question, she said, "There's evil coming. You must finish the incantation in the book."

"T-the book?"

She nodded, "You must hurry."

I felt myself tremble. "Who are you?"

She smiled as she looked to me. "Emily. Emily McCullough."

A/N: In case anyone is wondering I'm using Alyson Hannigan as Emily. She just seems to fit. I will have a pic on my profile if you don't know her.
