Chapter 19,

Dear Elena,

And I had a dream
About my old school
And she was there all pink and gold and glittering
I threw my arms around her legs
Came to weeping (came to weeping)
-Florence Welch

We had a very unexpected visitor today…

Things almost felt normal again. Despite the fact that Enzo and I hadn't exactly faced each other in a while…except for today.

I mean I was expecting weirdness and awkwardness but that didn't happen, we just acted like nothing happened. Though I would have loved to know why he flipped out and not kissed me… Not that I wanted it. I can literally see you rolling your eyes at me as I said that to you. I will have you know that I can't seem to find it in me to admit that out loud…that maybe I have feelings for him.

I mean I don't want to seem off but my relationship experience wasn't exactly on par. I mean I was with Jeremy for a very short time before she kind of cheated on me with his dead crazy girlfriend. Then I was sent to a prison world with your current crazy- desiccated by now- boyfriend. And now…there's Enzo. I mean maybe the reason why he didn't want to kiss me was because of how much he was too used to hating me. Maybe he didn't welcome change as he should. Highly doubtful since Enzo has been through more of change of scenery in his human and (some of) his vampire life than I have bouncing between death and all. Maybe it's that…his age. I am after all only twenty-three, with no degree, no home and no damn future.

On a more crucial note…the unexpected visitor came four days after New Years Eve.

"There's no record of Yvette." I say to him as he walks in with bags of groceries.

"Hi Bonnie," He says walking towards the counter, "How are you, I'm good thanks for asking. Did you need help with all the food that I bought for you…no, I have it sorted." He looked at me sarcastically.

"Don't be grumpy," I said to him, "I found a lead. I gave the journal a rest for a while. It was starting to get a bit dark."

"Dark how?"

"Well," I grab the diary from the table and open at the page I was at and begin reading, "I don't know what happened. It's like a demon just came into my system and took over. Everything went black…blah blah blah…next thing I knew I was on top of Alex's security detail with a knife in my hand."

"You call that dark?" Enzo shakes head, "This coming from a girl that had to come forth with the great Silas."

"Well she was my ancestors ex-boyfriend." I smirk at him, "Maybe that kind of thing turned me."

"What the sarcastically evil?"

"Yeah maybe." I wink at him as he smirks.

"You can be a little minx college girl," He winks back and then shakes his head. Like he just realized something was wrong, "Yvette, you were saying?"

"Right," I shake my head, "I did some research on her, just to focus on a different sister. She finished high school and three years of college. That's it…that's the equivalent of her life. She couldn't have died, because there's no record of that. There's record of her maxing out her credit card-"

"She's the charming one!" Enzo rolled his eyes.

"You bet," I show him a pile of papers, "These are lists of her spending in one year. Shoes, clothes…she even bought a pig but returned the same day. No refunds asked. She spent every single day before she went missing."

"That is off putting."

"Virginia called her an impulsive shopper." I said to him, "And to go missing like that is…" That's when I felt it. A change…a rift.

I may have not had my magic but every day I woke up feeling better knowing that there was a cloak of magic enveloping me. It made me feel better about what was happening in my life, it reminded me of the good old days when I was new to this whole magic thing.

Now this was consuming me, I felt open…exposed. Something wasn't right…especially with the witch who casted the spell. And since the spell had my blood and Enzo's I could feel it. But Enzo was a vampire, so he wouldn't feel what I was feeling, he could only see me.

I leaned against the counter like I had lost balance.

"Bonnie?" He holds me up for support as he looks at me with eyes full of concern.

"MJ?" I say to him and push away from him walking towards the door quickly. Perhaps I could see if the spell was still ok, "Something is wrong with," When I open the door the sight before me is daunting, "MJ!"

Just by the opening of trees where Enzo's car is parked is a now kneeling MJ. Her hair is matted and face is dirty. She is clutching her side as blood spills over her hand onto the floor. She is gasping for air as her life is beginning to end. Enzo runs inhumanly past me towards her. He doesn't hesitate to bite his arm and shoves it to her mouth.

"Drink this! Now!" Unlike me, she doesn't hesitate she drinks and doesn't stop. As she drinks, Enzo lifts her up and runs inside the cabin and lies her down on the couch. I rush towards them and remove her back pack of her back and place it on the floor. I then run into my room to grab a blanket and a wet cloth.

When I return, her eyes are closed as she tries to steady her breathe. Though as her breathe becomes normal again, I feel the wave of spell cloak me once more.

"She's fine." I sigh in relief as I walk over and kneel next to her and begin to wipe the sweat on her face. I look at Enzo who is kneeling next to her and watch as pain and panic have washed over him and relief is slowly wavering over him. The same way the spell is working its way back. I take his hand, "Enzo, she's going to be ok."

"She's right." MJ's eyes flutter, "I will be ok." She then falls straight to asleep.

Enzo stands up and storms to the door. I follow him, "Enzo!"

"I will find who did this and kill them all!" He spits as he storms out the cabin without a jacket. I follow him.

"That's not smart!" I shout at after him.

"And who are you tell me what's smart?" He grits his teeth at me, "No one will tell me what's smart when it comes to MJ!"

"Why?"

"Don't worry about it?" He shakes his head in frustration, "You wouldn't understand."

"Enzo-" I begin and walk towards him.

"I SAID DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!" I step back as he shouts. For a moment I'm more afraid of him than I've ever been in my life. His face has changed into an angry vampire swiftly back to a person, "I'm going for a walk." He turns but I stop him.

"Wait!" he stops and watches as I quickly run back into the cabin grab and empty notebook and pen, "You don't want to tell me…you need to tell someone."

"This is ridiculous." He spits at me.

"I don't think so." I look down and blink a little realizing that tears are threatening to come out.

Enzo swallows hard, "Watch her for me." He then softly takes the notebook from me and walks away towards the deep part of the forest. I couldn't help but feel as though I wanted to just run up him and hold him.

I walk back to the cabin and find MJ staring into the flames of the fire. She looks sad, yet confused.

"He's a good person." She says to me as I sit next to her.

"I know." I smile at her, "How are you feeling?"

She ignores my question, "If he's so good then why did he kill my great grandmother."

"You know?"

"Of course I know," She rolls her eyes, "I just don't know why."

"It's really complicated." I taker her hand and she just shakes it off.

"I want to hear it for myself from him." She says and then her face pouts even more as she begins to cry, "Because Enzo is the only family I've ever know…and it looks like the only family I will ever know."

"What do you mean?"

"Someone is after me," She whispers as the tears roll down my face, "She wants something from me."

"She?" I lean in as she starts sniffing some more, "MJ you have to talk to me, maybe I can help you."

"She killed my foster parents." She covers her face as she snobs, "She intruded one night and Susan told me to hide in the kitchen counter. When the woman came in she asked Susan and Burke where I was….they protected me until the very end." She breathes heavily, "She ripped their hearts out their chest…she didn't even think twice…I was so horrible to them."

"MJ…who did this?"

"She's coming after me." MJ shook her head, "And I don't know what do."

"You need to tell me who it is?" I say to her, urging her to speak.

She only had to say one name with someone else for me to realize that this was bad. Though what made it worse was when from the door…Enzo said the name with MJ.

"Maria."

Authors note

I did tell you to keep MJ, Maria and Big Joe in that memory vault. With that very saucy scene/chapter coming up, we need some drama somewhere.

What do you think of Bonnie getting Enzo to write, it is called the vampire diaries *wink wink*

Before my next chapter I'm doing a Q and A on the chapter or on me, it's up to you. The top three questions will be answered and I will answer them. Even if its because you want spoilers. On a side note because I love these sessions, I can only post chapter 20 without three good questionsJ *winks*

Love you guys.
