Bonnie stepped to the side allowing Sydney and Blake to enter the boarding house. She shut the door behind her and turned to the pair.
"Let me introduce you to my fiancé ." Sydney started out. "This is Blake."
Bonnie gave Blake a friendly smile. "Hi there Blake it was good of you to come."
Blake reached out and shook her hand. "Nice to meet you Bonnie."
Bonnie gestured to the two. "Come on in and make yourselves comfortable"
Sydney and Blake followed her into a room where Damon stood up. Damon's icy blue eyes scanned over the two new comers.
"This is my husband Damon Salvatore." Bonnie said "Damon this is Sydney and her fiancé Blake."
Damon and Blake gave a nod at each other in acknowledgement and Damon walked over until he stood next to Bonnie. He held out a hand to Sydney.
"Hello there Sydney." Damon told her politely.
"Hey." Sydney simply said taking him up on his hand shake offer.
Damon studied Bonnie's younger Sydney. "So you're a witch like Bonnie."
Sydney nodded her head she knew that her sister had married a vampire from what she was told over the phone, but it was still a slight shock to the system the sensation she got from touching Damon. The feeling of death but she pushed it to the side. If Bonnie was married to the guy Sydney figured that he was okay to be around.
"Yes I am a witch too." Sydney said letting go of his hand "And you're a vampire."
"I know." Damon said amused "I'm married to a witch doe that seem weird to you."
Sydney shook her head. "Actually not much seems weird to me in the Supernatural world."
"She's right." Blake agreed.
Bonnie cleared her throat. "Damon, Blake if you guys don't mind could Sydney and I talk alone with each other for a while."
"I have no problems with that." Blake answered "Take all of the time alone that you need with your sister."
"Yeah we'll leave the two of you to do some sisterly bonding." Damon told his wife.
Bonnie smiled at her husband. "Thanks."
Damon gestured to Blake. "Follow me Blake I can show you around the house while the sisters catch up."
Blake shrugged a shoulder. "Sounds cool with me." He kissed Sydney on the cheek before Damon lead him out of the room.
Bonnie and Sydney stood alone in the room with a few moments of awkward silence before Bonnie spoke.
"Can I get you anything a drink, a snack perhaps?" Bonnie asked
Sydney smiled. "No Thank you I'm fine for now."
Bonnie gestured. "Then I guess we should have a seat."
The both of them sat down across from each other Sydney on the couch and Bonnie in a chair.
"Again I appreciate you for taking the trip and coming down here." Bonnie said
"I wanted to." Sydney said "I thought that I should meet my sister after all Abby's lies have kept us from knowing each other long enough."
Bonnie sighed. "Sorry about that."
Sydney brushed her hair behind her ear. "It's not your fault or mine this is all on our Mother for keeping the secret, but I use that term loosely."
"Mom could really use lessons in how to be a good parent department." Bonnie agreed.
"She really could." Sydney said "Of course it shouldn't surprise me that she abandoned you too."
It upset Bonnie to think about how neglectful Abby was, it always hurt no matter how much time went by she would never completely get over it.
"Basically." Bonnie said "Mom would come by a few times a year to visit me and then she'd disappear again for months, sometimes for a year or more before I saw her again. She never had a steady place in my life."
Sydney rolled her eyes it wasn't directed at Bonnie but just the thought of their so called Mother. "You most likely got to see Abby more than I did I believe that in twenty years I can count the number of times that I have seen her on two hands."
"I don't understand why she refused to be there for us." Bonnie said
"Neither do I." Sydney went on. "But you know what we shouldn't waste time right now on getting all upset over Abby and what she did and didn't do. We should focus on building a relationship that was denied to us for twenty years."
"You're right." Bonnie said
That was what they did. Bonnie told her sister things about her like what she liked and didn't like. Refreshing her on things that was already told over the phone and telling her some new things that she hadn't told Sydney yet. Then it was Sydney's turn to tell more about herself.
"I'm a pretty laid back girl." Sydney explained "But I don't hold back on telling people off if they do or say something to piss me off."
Bonnie looked at her sister. "I totally get you there."
Sydney shifted on the couch. "If you can't tell by my state of dress I'm pretty much a tomboy, I don't like wearing dresses or skirts unless I really, really have to. Never really got into the girly, girly style dressing up for some reason."
Bonnie kept listening as Sydney went on.
"Oh and for a living I take photos." Sydney told her.
"You mean like the paparazzi?" Bonnie asked enjoying the conversation that they were having.
Sydney made a face. "Hell no I'm not one of those stalkers."
Bonnie laughed. "Sorry for the comparison"
"That's alright." Sydney chuckled. "I make money by taking photos in a different way, I get contracts and requests from customers who pay me to take photos of certain events like wedding, birthday parties, and other special occasions."
"I see." Bonnie said
Sydney eyed the older sister. "How did you find out that you were a witch?"
Bonnie leaned forward. "My Grams….our Grams as in Grandmother she was the one who told me."
"Where is she now?" Sydney wanted to know.
"Sadly she passed away some years back." Bonnie answered
Sydney frowned. "That's too bad I really would have liked meeting my other Grandma."
"She would have loved meeting you too." Bonnie said knowing her Grams.
Sydney nodded her head.
"Grams told me and taught me the works of witch craft and helped me learn to embrace who I was and the power that I held." Bonnie said
"You're lucky I didn't have anyone telling me that I was a witch at first." Sydney said
Bonnie was curious. "How did you learn that you were a witch?"
Sydney sighed. "Everything was going perfectly normal in my life for the first four teen years but then when I turned fifth teen things started to happen. Candles would lit themselves when I was in a room with them and things would start to float in mid air. Not knowing what was going on I was freaked out."
"I don't blame you." Bonnie said
"Since I had no idea what was going on I was freaked out and scared when these things happened." Sydney remembered "I thought that the place I was living in was haunted or something because I had no explanations. These things kept happening so one day I just told my Dad that the house was haunted. Then he told me that it wasn't a haunted house that it was me and that I should call Abby and I did Abby came clean and told me that I was a witch."
"What was your reaction to this?" Bonnie wanted to know.
Sydney pushed some of her hair behind her ear. "Disbelief, I thought that witches only existed in fairy tales or horror movies and her Abby was telling me that I was one. I had a hard time believing at first. But then I started to do some research and looked for answers and found out that witches were indeed real."
"I bet that was a shock to the system it was for me." Bonnie said
"It sure was." Sydney commented. "In my research I found this old witch she told me some things about witch craft and gave me a couple of her old spell books and I started to practice and eventually accepted that I was a witch and used it to help people if I had to."
"Being a witch holds a lot of reasonability." Bonnie said
Sydney nodded her head. "You're damn right on that one."
"You brought a couple of your Grimoire's with you right?" Bonnie asked
"Yes I brought the spell books with me." Sydney answered.
Bonnie leaned back. "Then while you are here perhaps we could go over each other books, go over spells and do some magic together."
"I think that it's a great idea for us to do that." Sydney said "Sis!"

As Bonnie and Sydney were talking Damon had showed Blake around the boarding house. Now Blake followed Damon into the room where the bar was.
"This is a nice home that you have." Blake commented
"Thanks." Damon said walking over to the bar and turning to Blake. "Would you like something to drink. Whiskey, Vodka?"
Blake's eyes scanned over the bottles filled with alcohol on the bar. "Whiskey is fine."
Damon poured two glasses of whiskey and handed one to Blake.
Blake took it and took a sip. "Wow this stuff is damn good."
"I only buy the best high quality of this stuff." Damon said taking a drink from his own glass.
For a couple of moments they stood there and drunk in silence.
"So Blake you and Sydney are engaged." Damon said trying to make conversation.
Blake smiled. "Yes we are."
"What's it like for you being with a witch?" Damon wanted to know.
"I would say that it's very awesome!" Blake exclaimed.
Damon thought about Bonnie. "Oh I agree. You seem like a normal guy the witchy stuff with Sydney must have seemed overwhelming at first."
Blake cocked his head to the side. "Actually I'm not that of a normal guy."
"You're supernatural too?" Damon asked
"Similar to Sydney and Bonnie I can lift and move objects with my mind." Blake confessed.
"Really?" Damon said with an amused smirk. "Can you start fires with your mind as well?"
Blake chuckled. "No I can't set fires with my mind, but I can read other people's minds."
"A mind reader huh?" Damon questioned.
"A mind reader." Blake confirmed "I can read and hear what people are thinking or saying inside of their heads."
An unsure expression crossed Damon's face.
Blake knew what he was thinking. "Don't worry I can turn it on and off and I can control my mind reading. I don't freely read a persons mind because I won't invade their privacy." He explained. "Unless I think they are up to something wrong then I'll turn it on to find out what's going on."
"Well." Damon lifted his glass of whiskey. "With that kind of ability it looks like you're going to fit in around here just fine!"
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Later that day the four gathered around the table.
"We have a guest bedroom and a guest bathroom for you two to stay in." Bonnie told Sydney and Blake. "Since you'll be staying in this town for the next few weeks."
"Nice of you all to allow us to stay in your home." Blake commented
Damon slung an arm over the back of the chair that Bonnie was sitting in. "We figured why should you stay in a hotel when you could stay here for free."
Bonnie eyed them from across the table. "You two just make yourselves right at home."
"Help yourself to anything in the kitchen that you want, food or drink." Damon added "If we don't have something that you want or need we'll go out to the store to get it."
"We'll do just that." Sydney said
The four kept up with their conversation and Blake and Sydney were talking about how they get together.
"Blake was looking for a singer for his band and he gave auditions." Sydney was explaining. "So since I loved to sing I auditioned for him."
"You have a band?" Bonnie asked Blake.
"I do." Blake answered. "Nothing major we just play at this local club in Philly a couple of weekends at month but the people love us there."
Sydney glanced at her fiancé "So I auditioned and of course I won the spot."
Blake's lips curved. "We started to have band practice together a couple of times a week and we started to hang out a lot."
"We became close friends." Sydney said
"Then eventually we found out that what we felt for each other was more than friendship so we got together." Blake told them.
Bonnie smiled. "That's lovely."
"What about you two how did you two meet?" Sydney asked Damon and Bonnie.
Damon folded his arms over his chest and smirked. "That's a little complicated."
"Yeah if someone new how we were towards each other before they never would have guessed that we got together." Bonnie said
Blake looked between the both of them. "Tell us."
"We didn't like each other." Damon said
"You could even say that we hated each other." Bonnie added.
"Hated each other?" Blake questioned.
Bonnie grinned because it was amusing to think about. "We tried to kill each other."
Sydney laughed. "You're joking."
Damon and Bonnie shook their heads.
"You're not joking." Sydney said
"I bite her…she was possessed by Emily your ancestor and I was a jerk and almost killed her." Damon said "My brother saved her and I do regret what I did to her that night."
Bonnie placed a hand on her husbands knee. "Damon used to really piss me off and I gave him an aneurysm and set his ass on fire."
"Which really hurt." Damon said
Sydney and Blake looked at each other with shocked expressions and looked back at Damon and Bonnie.
"That's crazy man." Sydney said "But hey all that matters is that you're together and married now."
"Some of the best love stories are the ones that go from people hating each other to loving each other." Blake said
"Damn right." Damon said turning to eye Bonnie. "I couldn't help but to fall in love this witch."
Bonnie sighed looking into those icy blue eyes. "I couldn't help but to fall hard for this vampire."
Sydney and Blake smiled warmly as the vampire and witch couple shared a brief kiss on the lips.
Arriving home from going out Stefan and Elena entered the room. They both looked at Sydney and Blake.
"Hi guys." Elena said to them.
Bonnie cleared her throat. "Sydney and Blake that's Stefan Damon's brother and his wife and my friend Elena. Stefan and Elena this is my sister Sydney and her fiancé Blake."
Elena gave a quick wave. "Hi Sydney, Blake."
Stefan gave a nod of his head. "Welcome."
"Hey you two." Sydney said to Elena and Stefan.
Blake waved his head. "Hello there."
"We're got that you made the trip being Bonnie's sister and all." Elena said
"Thank you." Sydney said turning her attention to Stefan "Are you a vampire too like your brother?"
Stefan rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm a vamp just like Damon is."
"Alright." Blake said
Sydney's eyes shifted to Elena. "What are you are you Supernatural like the rest of us in this room."
Elena shrugged a shoulder. "That depends on if you find being a doppelganger supernatural."
"You mean like a body double someone who looks like you?" Blake spoke.
"Yeah that's what I am." Elena confirmed.
"A doppelganger to a woman named Katherine." Bonnie added.
Stefan gestured. "Who was one self fish vampire of a psycho bitch."
Damon smirked. "But thankfully thanks to me that bitch is dead, after she tried to kill Bonnie and all."
"Crazy shit." Blake said
"You know what." Sydney exclaimed after hearing everything. "I think I'm really going to enjoy my stay here in Mystic Falls!"
