"No you didn't. oh my god." She says to her friend on the phone as she laughs hysterical. She walks down the street while playing with her keys.
"Oh I did." Bonnie says.
"Bonnie Bennett, you're a bad-ass, this can't be discussed through the phone." She says.
And she only gets 'mhm' from the other end.
The street is very calm when she reaches her car, there's no one around. She's just about to open the car when she hears it. The sound of tires rubbing against the asphalt, she looks around quickly and sees someone lying on the ground.
"Oh my god." She says under her breath.
"Caroline? What's going on?" Bonnie says through the phone, clearly worried.
"Bonnie I'll call you back." She says before hanging up. Then she's running to him.
"Are you okay?" She asks before sitting on her knees next to him.
He winces without moving, his eyes opening slowly.
"Hey, do you hear me?" she says. "Are you okay?" She asks again.
His hands move to his stomach as he coughs. She looks around for any blood but there isn't, except for that wound on his forehead.
"Are you okay?" She asks again, her voice louder this time.
He finally opens his eyes. His breath is surprisingly even.
"I'm fine." He says.
"Let me help you." She says before helping him to get up. They're now sitting in the middle of the street, and for her surprise no one is around them. Was she the only one who heard the accident?
She opens her bag to get some handkerchiefs to wipe the blood on his forehead, but for her surprise when she looks up, the wound has gone, nothing left but few blood drops. She looks down to his hand, and the scratches are also gone.
She meets his eyes and he's waiting for her to talk.
"Oh my god." She whispers. "You're…" She doesn't complete as she stands up and backs away, when she turns around to run he's suddenly in front of her.
"Calm down," He says, looking directly to her eyes. "Youwill walk away and you'll forget everything you saw, there wasn't an accident and you didn't see me." He says and she stares without saying anything, she just nods.
And then he's gone.
She looks around slowly but he's nowhere to be found. Her hand goes up to hold her necklace; she takes a deep breath before walking back to her car.
Who would know that vervain would actually help her one day?
