It was my birthday Saturday so I had to take an update break, plus being back at college means more work and we've got our graded gigs coming up soon, and a load of festivals and things. I've got gigs on the 19th, 20th and 21st so lots of rehearsals are being crammed in. But after that weekend the updates will be much more frequent. Also, you probably don't care, but Ive been nursing a little birdie that fell out of its nest back to health =] It's doing good and is starting to fly so it should be leaving me anytime now =] I named him Ziggy =]

Kaye's P.O.V
"Bonnie, I really don't feel like going out" I moaned, as the girl continued to bounce up and down on my bed, I opted to take a seat on the chair instead inwardly cursing my dad for letting her up when I'd specifically said I didn't want to see anybody. As much as I loved Bonnie and the girls, I didn't want to see them, or their sympathetic eyes and opinions and Bonnie would be the worst of all, after all she was the one who had been almost excited about the idea of 'Damon and I'.
"Kaye!" she shouted, "it's been almost a week! You've got to get out of the house!"
"Yeah, I know." I agreed.
"You cant keep feeling sorry for yourself."
"I know." I sighed, it had been a week since I'd asked Damon to keep away from me and I hadn't seen him since, which had been to say the least, well, hard. It was of my own doing of course but I had sort of grown accustomed to seeing him, feeling embarrassed around him, looking at him. His absence was glaringly obvious. Hurtful in a way.
"Then you'll come out with me? Just me and you, no gross PDA with Stefan and Elena, no Caroline to get us in trouble. Just me and you." she smiled and I had to admit that a little fun did sound tempting.
"But, there are a load of vampires after me." I protested seriously, "I'm safer here, so are you."
"So throw caution out of the window!" she sighed dramatically falling down onto my bed on her stomach.
"That would not be logical captain." I grinned, "I could be killed."
"Ah you could be killed by a car." she joked, though she abruptly turned serious, "Come on Kaye, you've got your vervaine, I've got mine, we'll be okay." I stared at her for a moment, her eyes were wide and pleading and in the end I gave up, "Okay!" I sighed dramatically.
She squealed. "We're gonna have the best time!"
"Really? Where are we going?" I asked, vaguely wondering what I should wear.
"Oh, amazing places!" she laughed.
"The Mystic Grill then." I deadpanned decisively, pulling a pair of jeans from my drawers and a new shirt, "Now get out so I can change, I'm feeling too lazy to go all the way into the bathroom!"

"I'm cold." Bonnie whined, wrapping her thin jacket around her, I shivered as she did so, doing the same, regretting my decision to choose my jacket over my thicker winter coat, I had used continuously back in England.
"Me too." I replied, my teeth chattering slightly, "I don't even know which way the grill is, lets just go home!"
"No!" she cried, "We will do this! It's this way… Why do you live so far away?"
I laughed, the air from my mouth white in front of my lips, whirling and entwining. I breathed onto my hands and rubbed them together, warming them. "Bonnie?" I asked, shoving my hands into the small pockets of my jacket as far as they would go, my wrists and the top of my hands still exposed, to the cold however.
"Yeah?"
"How did you react, when you'd first found out about vampires?" I had promised myself I wouldn't bring up any of that business but it seemed I couldn't help myself.
"Well, it was slightly different for me Kaye." she said, and she sounded very motherly as she did, concerned, "I mean, I felt things around Stefan, saw visions, bad things, I found out because of who I am." she hesitated, "I guess I was shocked, but at the same time, I was going through so much in my own life that I didn't really pay that much attention to it."
I nodded, "Right." I hesitated, bit my lip and grinned, "Hey Bonnie?"
"Hmmmmm?" she asked, attempting to warm her own hands and seemingly failign as she shivered again.
"Could you show me something? A trick?" When she didn't answer I continued, "You don't have to if you don't want to of course." She shifted her eyes from me to the ground, glaring heatedly at the asphalt in front of my feet. "Bonnie?" I asked, "I'm sorry if I offended you, I didn't mean to, I understand if you don't want to, what with your gran and all. I'm sorry. Talk to me Bonnie!"
She continued to glare at the ground, arms folded across her chest. I was scared I had made her angry, upset her in some way. I hadn't meant to, I had just wanted to see.. "Woah!" I cried jumping back, as the ground in front of me burst into flames, a small controlled space exactly where she had been glaring. "Did you do that?"
She nodded, laughing, and I held my hands out above the fire, warming them, "Wow." I said, "That was so cool. What else can you do?"
She blinked twice and the fire dispersed immediately, my hands grew cold again and I laughed. "Must be pretty handy." I commented, walking again, hoping we would actually make it to our destination tonight instead of staying out in the cold.
"At first it was terrifying, I couldn't control anything, but then it got better and yes, It can be pretty handy now." she smiled, linking her arm through mine.
"You ever set anyone on fire?"
"No." she laughed.
"You ever wanted to?"
She laughed again, "Once. Caroline. There was a car wash, she was being a bitch, I set a fire and all, though it wasn't on her. Of course she was under Damons control at the time, it really wasn't her fault."
"Right," I swallowed, "Damon."
"Oh. I'm sorry," she cringed, "Tell you what- from now on, there is no more vampire talk, or witch talk, just girl talk, normal every day girl talk." she grinned and emphasized, "Normal."
I smiled, "Honestly, I forgot how it feels to be normal."
"Yeah." she sighed wistfully, "Normal and boring, I really miss that."
"Uh, sarcasm not appreciated!" I cried, nudging her in the side with a laugh to let her know that I was joking. "Come on. Lets get inside before my fingers drop off!"

We'd spent hours at Mystic Grill, tucked away in our own little corner and the laughter had continued through the evening, as we'd promised we had talked of everything but the important things that were happening around us, we were just like the other girls around us, we didn't know about things that go bump in the night we were innocent, normal. As I had told Bonnie, I 'd forgotten how that felt. What surprised me though was that it seemed.. Wrong… to feel that way. It seemed strange, wrong to talk about unnecessary, unimportant subjects, it felt slightly childish and ridiculous and there was a glint every now and then in Bonnies eyes that told me she felt the same. Though hiding from vampires and fearing for your life and the life of those around you wasn't necessarily the best thing, it was our thing. Mine, Bonnies, Elena's. Humans who knew of the existence of vampires. That was us. This was just…wrong. The realisation had hit a few hours into the evening and been nagging at me ever since. "This is strange isn't it?" Bonnie asked, smiling and cringing in unison, I was never sure how she did that. "Yeah." I replied, "I think its safe to say that while we can hang out like this, the whole V thing is normal for us. Trying to hide that is stupid."
"V thing, I like that." she laughed, sipping her cocktail thing she had somehow blagged for us. How she had gotten served I don't know, I liked to think she had used some sort of mind control rather than asking someone else to buy it for us. I'd opted for a cocktail with much less alcohol, but it was strong nonetheless and my eyesight was slightly fuzzier than usual, also I was giggling like a lunatic, which is something people always seemed to do when they were tipsy. How Bonnie had convinced me to drink I would never know, maybe it was the mind control thing?
"Well, people would think I was crazy if I said the whole word." I stated.
"They think you're crazy anyway!" she quipped, spilling her drink slightly and I found myself wondering why I was willing to drink when it was just Bonnie and I, but not in more, masculine, stronger, more protective company.
"Thanks." I laughed, shaking my head.
"You know, I'm tired, and you're all blurry, I need to get home." Bonnie yawned, pushing her chair back.
"Agreed, though I think my vision is probably better than yours." I stated, standing also and pulling on my jacket, "It's going to be cold."
"Maybe we could make a fire." she winked.
"No way." I said with finality, following her towards the door, giggling as she stumbled slightly and grabbing her arm, feeling wobbly myself. The cold air hit us hard as we stepped through the door, chilling my cheeks and nose immediately.
"It looks like I'm smoking!" Bonnie giggled as she puffed air out of her mouth in another plume of visible breath. I laughed with her as we made our way down the road, towards both our houses, though she would be turning off of the road that was coming up on her left, she only lived a few minutes from the grill. "Hey! Hey!" a female voice followed us up the road, and I turned around, a small dark haired girl in black jeans and a black leather jacket came running up behind us smiling, "Hey," she said in relief puffing loudly, "You dropped this mobile."
"Oh! That's mine!" Bonnie said, taking the phone from the girls hand, "Thank you so much! I don't know what I would have done if I'd lost this!"
"No problem," the girl replied sweetly.
"Well, I have got to get home. My legs are wobbly."
"Drinking night huh?" the girl asked, sending a knowing glance towards Bonnie.
"Yeah." I nodded, smiling.
"Do you need help? Getting her home?" the girl asked.
"Uh," I sent a glance towards Bonnie who was wobbling on the spot. How much had she drank tonight? "Yeah, if you don't mind." I grinned, as she shrugged and said Not at all.
"Thank you."
She went one side, and I the other, a hand on Bonnies back as we led her towards her house, me leading the way. I wondered at the girls strength as she didn't seem to even heave a sigh as Bonnie stumbled. My alcohol fused brain told me this information could be of important but my thoughts were too hazy to take any notice of.
Once we had gotten to Bonnies, knocked the door and waited for someone to help her in, receiving scalding looks from her mother, we made our way back down the main road, "Thank you for helping me," I said to the brunette, "I couldn't have gotten her there alone."
"It was no problem. It's nice to finally meet you Kaye?" The girl smiled, only now something was different.
"Do I know you?" I asked, heart beating slightly faster.
"You do, I'm going to need you to come with me."
"Excuse me?" I asked incredulously, Who did this girl think she was? Good question actually who was she? How did she know me?
"You heard. Like I said, It's nice to finally meet you Kaye, I'm Anna."
I swallowed, my heart stopped, stomach dropped. And I finally realised what had happened, what I had gotten myself into.
