Chapter 3: Mirrors

Jo had couple days off . The hospital had released me. She decide to bring me to Mystic Falls.

We had a detailed plan I will be living in Salvatore Boarding House, with Elena and Caroline. Their boyfriends went to Italy for 1 month. I still have Gram's house. It's been more than a year it's been close, so we will wait that it's habitable, so I can live there. I'm happy, that Jo called them, I don't know probably I wouldn't have the guts to do so and returned to Kol.

Jo help me to go to my apartment after two months. Social services and the Police told my landlady what was going on. Kol couldn't pay the rent alone, even if he could I don't think she wanted have him as a renter. So he took his stuff and disappear who knows where. We went to a storage company to get my stuff. All the furniture, everything was there. Wonder where did he go, now? I hope he's getting the help that he needs.

So I took what it's necessary for the moment. It was emotional, I realized that my numbness to deal with this situation it's just a facade. I thought it was dealt with it, but it wasn't the case. I hope returning home, will heal me.

After hours, of our road trip, I finally see the sign Mystic Falls. I couldn't believe I am back. Nothing has changed! I restraining the tears didn't want to ruin my make up. It was hiding some of my scars on my right cheek.

After couple minutes, we arrived, I saw Caroline getting out. She didn't change one bit. I shouldn't be surprise since was a vampire. I saw Elena and realized she became one too. Not too shocked, logically I knew one day it will be the case. She's with a vampire. I got out of the Caroline ran and held with so much strength. "Bonnie, so happy you are there... Welcome"

I turned to Elena, her eyes were with tears. "Bonnie... Welcome... How was your trip.?" She hugged me. I heard her said:

" You must be Jo, I'm Elena and this Caroline so nice to meet you. "

I've apologized for been rude and we went inside. The kitchen was smelling some good food. Knowing Caroline, she probably cook for a regimen. They direct me to my room. I was surprised to see Bennett's Grimoire. I remembered I gave it to Elena, when I give up magic. I didn't want any supernatural drama, with my relationship with Kol. I give up so many things because of him. I looked into the mirror I couldn't recognized myself. I looked like a zombie. I heard a knock on my door, and then see Caroline. "You ok?" I shocked my head. "Come, eat, and you will feel better"

We went to the kitchen, Elena and Jo were already there chatting.

"I'm so hungry can't wait to taste this delicious food."

It was like it was thanksgiving. I'm sure because they were all vampires, Caroline don't have that kind of opportunity to cook that much, now she was like Martha Stewart on stereoid.

We talked about high school. Jo talked about her chilhood and how it's not her first time she came here. She used to hang out with her cousins, the Parkers when she was young. My heart stopped to beat for a second. Jo, Don't tell me you are related to Kai Parker. They have both black hair and blue indigo eyes... It can't be. Before I can asked, Caroline went ahead.

" Are you related to Kai Parker? "

"Yes, he's my cousin, his real name is Malakai."

It means that Jo is a witch, or was a witch. What, did she give up her powers like me? And why she never told me about her family here?

"We can invite him tomorrow, he's a good friend of ours."

"Really, since when?" Shocked of this revelation.

"We met him at Whitmore College, and he bonded with the guys."

I felt uneasy and tired all of sudden. I excused myself needed to rest. I went to my room, went to my private bathroom, removed my make up. I looked in the mirror, I still had some scars and bruises. I look like a faded rose. I started to sob. I hope they don't hear me. I just wanted to be alone. I should probably, ask for vampire blood to make this mess disappear, but I'm scared if these scars are gone, I'll go back to Kol and forgive him. Plus, I scared I will never have emotions as if I turned off my switch, like my friends when it's too hard to handle.

After, I finish my night routine, I went to bed, close my eyes. I felt so tired, last thought I had before was sleep, it was about Kai. What he like now? Does he practice magic? Why didn't tell me anything? Would I feel the same way I felt towards him to past?

Hope you like this! Love the reviews, please comment! Have a good week! Kai is coming to the next chapter I promise! :)
