Chapter 27

Like strangers
Perfect pretenders
We're falling head over heels
For something that ain't real

-Sigrid

Dear Elena,

Though yes everything seemed just about perfect. It wasn't. There was still the small matter of Virgina St John and Alex which seemingly involved me. Also there was the issue of Maria, the psychotic human being who by all means is trying to kill MJ. The reason...stay tuned.

I will admit however there is something almost comforting in knowing that even if the world comes to an end there will be an Enzo to make it better. If anything it reassured me just a little as to how I would need to work to ensure that this whole doom and gloom can pass in my life.

About three weeks after we…you know… things went back to somewhat normality. When I say normal I mean, Enzo playing double agent and me? Well me nothing. Our lead was Virginia and since her diary stopped at her in an insane asylum, I was left with Enzo poking around at the armory.

So to fill the spare time I called Caroline more often then I should. Which reminds me, I kind of told her about Enzo and I…that actually played out well.

"I KNEW IT!" she screamed over the phone.

"How?"

"Bon," Caroline sighed, "You spend almost three years in a small secluded place with my british accent and dangerous muscles…I would also end up with him…or atleast in him." She laughs.

"End up in who?" I heard Ricks voice in the background.

"Oh great news…Enzo and Bon are like a thing." Caroline announced with so much excitement in her voice.

"Caroline!" I snapped.

"Wait what do you mean thing," Rick asked, "Like Bonnie has been captured thing or thing like…thing…" He says that last thing with almost more of a smooth hum.

"I am still here." I say interrupting what seems like two people who are married squabbling over a TV show.

"Bonnie!" Rick takes the phone, "Listen if you need me to come and rescue you, just signal in a cough or something."

"Rick." Caroline takes the phone back, "I doubt Bonnie can't handle herself."

"She's with a psycho path Caroline," Rick argues and I can help but shrug. I mean Elena the way you remember Enzo is way different to the man I have practically fell in love with. I could not argue with the sentiment that Rick was making because let me not forget the amount of times Enzo nearly killed me.

However now seems different Elena, Enzo may have done a lot of damage but he has also done some good. As minimal as it may seem…that's all I can remember. An instance that comes to mind…

Well when Rayna tried to kill me. The first time.

I had just returned to Rayna's room, where I had just gone to retrieve a cookie for a 'poor old lady'.

"Hard to believe they don't have vending machines in high-security psychiatric prisons, but I managed to snag you an oatmeal cookie... from someone else's meal tray." I smiled at her as I approached her bed.

Rayna seemed surprised by my gesture, almost uncertain.

"What was your name again?" She asked

"Bonnie."

Rayna moves close to me and say softly, "You seem like a nice girl, Bonnie. What's a nice girl like you doing with two deviant vampires?"

I have no idea why I even bothered to be surprised by this.

"So you are the Huntress." I accused.

"Mmm. I don't think you can really call me that anymore." She looks at her frail old chained up body, "Now I'm just an old woman in a dingy room, waiting to die."

" How did you end up here?" I decide to ask her

"I was careless." She sighs, "The drive to kill... the drive instilled upon me by the shamans... it got a little scrambled in my old age. I staked a checkout girl at the supermarket. My mistake."

I was of course unnerved and horrified by this story, but Rayna's tone of voice remained kind as she gestures toward the cookie in my hand, being that her arms were restrained.

"Could you... help me with the cookie, please?"

I smile at her and retrieve the cookie. As I lean down, she pulls my ID card tied around neck down, choking me. I felt my chest tightening up. When I look at her she is smirking.

"Mo... motus..." I try to say but fail.

"I'm afraid your magic won't work on me. Now untie my hands before I crush your windpipe to dust." She smirks at me but then her facial expression changes as she looks at the doorway. "Who the hell are you?"

A pocket knife is thrown at her throat and just as my lungs touch air again I gasp quickly. I turn to face m hero.

"Hey. You all right?" Enzo says urgently rushing to my side.

I say I'm fine as I gasp for more air. More interested in answers than a check-up, I swats his hand away as he tries to check my neck out. I give him a hard look.

"What are you doing here?" I ask him.

"It's a long story, love." He sighs looking at the dead corpse but then turns to look at me "Let's just say, for today, that I'm your guardian angel."

"Bonnie?...Bonnie you still there?" I shake my head at Caroline voice.

"Sorry I was just thinking." I say to her.

"About?"

"Rayna Cruz and the first time I met her in psychiatric ward and how she played a wonder old woman," I sigh, "I honestly feel like she could gotten anything she wanted in that form."

"True," Caroline says, "I mean she should've just stayed undercover as an old women…kill a lot more of her enemies."

"yeah undercover." I say and then it hit me…

Virginia.

"Care, can I call you back." I don't even give her a chance to respond I just hang up. I put the phone down and rush to the laptop. I type in the name of the pschc ward that she is in and find it is not that far from me. Just as I dial the number on the screen, Enzo walks in smiling at me.

"You really need to work on warming this place up with a fire." He say to me, "This place is bloody cold."

"I won't have to," I smile at him, "I'm leaving."

I am back!

I am so sorry for the seriously long awaited chapters but I am back now and I plan on trying very hard to finish the story before the new season (and final) of original comes out. I am so excited and sad at the same time.

On other news I was away because I just finished my undergrad and I'm about to go into honours. How hectic. But also aside from my studies I have also finished writing an actaul book...I am putting my blurb below, let me know if you would love to read it and I will link you to my epub.

I have missed all of you so much and as usual I want to hear what you think of this chapter.

The Secret Song of a Wing Woman
by CJR Adams

Fiction.

Set in California, Clarissa Bennett is about to embark a new journey in her life; College. Clarissa's biggest fear at this point is how she is going to fit in. Clarissa's main problem is getting along with people and the way she openly expresses herself. The only way she feels she is expressed fully and well, without offending anyone is through music.

Upon her arrival, Clarissa meets her roommate which she immediately takes a disliking to because of the racist manner her roommate behaves towards Clarissa. When thinking about moving out already, Clarissa bumps into old friend from high school, Leonardo Djokovich. Clarissa is later convinced by Leo to move in with him and the two immediately become inseparable.

Throughout the novel, Clarissa uses her knowledge of music to act as a "wing man" to Leo, manipulating women to sleep with him. With that said, the novel goes through both Leo and Clarissa's perspective where we see a change in both the development in character but also in their relationship.

To briefly put it, the novel tells a story about a young musically talented African American college girl who goes through her whole degree getting her Italian best friend one night stands but later falls for him more then she predicted.
