The three witches sat on the carpet floor of their violet-coloured Victoria 4-bedroom Manor painting their nails and sipping their second glasses of Gin Fizz. Bonnie stayed silent flicking the sparkling invitation in her hand. Her heart was racing reading his name and her name. She didn't hear Caroline and Hayley talking to amongst themselves then talking to her. Her blood was slowly boiling, and her hands felt hot with hell fire.

"Honestly Bonnie? Fuck Damon! Let him marry some random bitch from New York" Caroline slurred and laughed.

"We don't have to go to their wedding and engagement party, Bon" Hayley smiled. Bonnie shrugged "I'm fine. The entire town is invited. I would look like the bitter ex" Bonnie said pressing her lips and placing the invitation on the coffee table. Bonnie Bennett and Damon Salvatore dated for a year before he moved to New York for vampire business. She always thought he would've come back to her, she never thought he would come back engaged to a human he recently turned. She wonder who Elena Gilbert was. The supernatural town of Mystic Falls only heard whispers of her name but haven't seen her yet. Bonnie was also getting looks in town from other witches and vampires. Pity looks.

[The 1961 by The Fray]

Hayley sipped her vanilla latte and turned the pages in her diary of all the things planned for the town: their first ever outdoor Halloween party. Elijah sat opposite her distracted on his phone and barely heard a word she said about decorations, food and activities. "Ciao! I'm over here!" she laughed.

"I'm sorry. Meetings with the council" he said putting his phone down. Hayley smiled and sipped her latte "Everyone is probably excited about Elena Gilbert"

"I haven't seen her but I've heard she was a doctor. I don't know why she would give up her life to become a vampire and marry Damon Salvatore"

Hayley laughed and closed her book "Maybe she's a psycho" Hayley checked her phone "I should go Ben is coming today to deliver some orders"

Hayley grew her own vegetables and sold it to other supernatural towns. Elijah was infatuated with her.

That evening Bonnie hummed while sitting out her stored to lock it up for the day. Bonnie owned and ran a potion and trinket shop in town, the Salem witches didn't approve of it and mocked it as a 'voodoo shop'. The Bennetts and the Salem has had a long history of tension, in fact the Salems and everyone has had a long history of tension. They often see themselves as the supreme witches and lived by rules Bonnie, Hayley and Caroline have broken. Bonnie's heart sunken when she saw Damon across the street on his phone laughing, she wondered if he was talking to her; Elena Gilbert. He seemed happier without her as she watched him walking into the vampire Lounge & bar ran by him and Enzo. Caroline hugged Bonnie from behind which startled "Fuck! Care!"

"I did call you. Stop zoning out. You're freaking me out" Caroline said throwing her shopping bags in the back of Bonnie's car. Tonight was Bonnie's turn to make dinner. Bonnie rolled her eyes and hop into the car, she didn't see Damon glancing at her from the rooftop bar.

After Bonnie's delicious roast dinner, Hayley volunteered to wash the dishes and clean up the kitchen, while Caroline was in the bathtub talking to her boyfriend Stefan Salvatore; Damon's younger brother. Bonnie was on her balcony in her room writing spells and drawing sigils, she turned her head when she saw a light came on in a room at the Mikaelson's mansion across the siren's lake. She frowned because she never saw a light in that room. Downstairs, Hayley was turning off the lights to retire upstairs she swore she saw a shadow move across the living room. "Bon?" she called out peeking in the room. She frowned and looked around. Her heart raced when she heard a crowd of whispers in the girl's potion and spell books room, she carefully walked into the room and saw a shadow figure standing staring at her. She fumbled to turn on the lights, but it won't turn on, the shadow figure grew taller, and she fell on the ground covering her face and yelling "GET OUT MY HEAD!". She felt a cold wet hand grab her shoulder and she screamed out loud "Hayley it's me" Caroline said. Hayley opened her eyes to Caroline standing over her in the lit room. She helped Hayley off the ground "I'm sorry. I'm just tired from staring at numbers, counting and vegetables all day"

"Babe, I told you...you need help at the shop and with all this gardening stuff. My friend Rose from the bar is looking to change jobs. She can help you"

Hayley rolled her eyes "I wish you would stop working at BloodThirst. It isn't a place for witches anything horrible can happen. You can also wait tables at Enzo's place". BloodThirst is a vampire bar off the highway before the witch town of Pickering. Caroline was the only witch that worked the tables "I like the tips. They gave me extra because I'm a witch. It's exotic. Don't change the topic I'm sending Rose tomorrow!"

Elijah was annoyed at Klaus showing up unannounced, he knew his brother could be trouble and the last thing he needed was Klaus Mikaelson running around their peaceful supernatural town pissing people off. Klaus was following Elijah into the town, teasing his about his small-town living. Elijah panicked when he saw Hayley waving at him from across the street walking over "No don't come over here" he muttered under his breath. He knew his brother was going to stir trouble when he saw her. "You missed coffee..I tried calling you. Anyway, Bon's shop is going to supply the decorations for the Halloween party and Aunt Else is making the Halloween theme cocktails...Oh and I heard some kids are planning to use fireworks...we can't have that last time someone's kid lost an arm. It took a needle and magic to mend it" she rambled and rambled while Klaus smirked and looked between Hayley and Elijah. "I'm sorry..who is this?" Hayley laughed nervously. "This ia my brother, he decided to surprise me in October"

"Klaus Mikaelson" Klaus said kissing her hand and staring at her. Hayley smiled "Oh from the High council..Are we in trouble?"

"No. This is the best supernatural town. I'm on vacation. For second, I thought you were Serena..absolutely gorgeous" Klaus said smiling at her. Serena Pacione is an Italian vampire from Sardinia who is member of the High council of vampires and the assigned watcher for Mystic Falls.

"That might be the best compliment I've got for the year" she joked "She is one of my close friends. We share makeup tips, skin tips, hair tips, records, Italian recipes..she's from Sardinia I'm from Sicily" she rambled pushing her dark wavey hair out her face. Elijah cleared his throat "Well I need to get to our precinct to finalise our safety for bonfire night tomorrow". Hayley smiled and looked at her phone "I should go..Care is making me hire some girl for the shop" she said running across the street. Klaus smirked at Elijah "I get why you like this town"

"Shutup" Elijah said walking away.

Bonnie smiled and gave her customer the tiny bag with a jar of gooey blue gel for her pain. Bonnie exhaled when the customer left and packed away her new trinkets. Kayla Washington was her employee and under wing learning magic, she was sitting in a corner flipping pages grimoire and flustering about the potion recipes she needs to learn. Bonnie placed her hand on her hip "Did you learn the recipes?"

"Alot words..Ugh why can't I learn to cool stuff. Necromancy, possession, mind control. The voodoo stuff your grandmother did in New Orleans" Kayla said smirking. Bonnie swallowed and pressed her lips "We don't say that word out loud. It's a reason my grams and her friends went underground. All that stuff comes with years of practice and control..sometimes unnecessary...you have no reason to talk to the dead. Good clean magic, using the earth to heal and help" Bonnie said giving her 4 empty bottles to practice making potions at the back of the shop. Kayla shrugged and took it "I'm just bored"

"Okay if you make me 10 potions by the end of the week, I'll teach you how to levitate" Bonnie smiled. Kayla smiled widely; her smile faded when she saw Enzo walked into the shop with his all over black and thick eyeliner on his bottom lids. He looked around the shop and sniffed a few candles. She was terrified of vampires so she disappeared into the back.

"ENZO WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? YOU'VE BEEN GONE FOR 2 DAYS. JEEZZ DON'T SCARE US LIKE THAT" Bonnie said hugging him tightly. He embraced her closely and kissed her head "I'm sorry" he chuckled. She lightly punched him "Delete that dating app...you could get kidnapped by hunters". Enzo had been gone for 2 days to hang out with a girl he met on a supernatural dating app.

"I heard Damon is back. He's been gone for a whole year and then show up with a girl and a wedding"

"Yeah I got the invitation. I'm fine..don't look at me like that" Bonnie said packing his favourite Rosemary hair gel he loved.

"I support your angst..whatever it is you're up to" Enzo teased. Bonnie laughed "No I'm behaving"

Back at the girl's manor Hayley was getting her hands dirty pulling put parsnips, Rose Marie tapped Hayley's shoulder which startled her "I will never get use to...cold hands" Hayley smiled standing up.

"Care sent me she said you really need help. Look I know most witches aren't keen about us around them but I keep to myself and I work hard. My father owned a farm..use to help out with the cattle and the picking. I really need this change"

Hayley pressed her lips "Are things that bad at BloodThirst? Should I be worried about Caroline?" Rose chuckled "No BloodThirst is fine. Lucien takes care of the girls. It's the safest place. I just don't feel like waiting tables forever". Hayley nodded "Well I usually have a list of supernatural towns I supply to and 2 Human towns. I'll show you the list, we do root vegetables, normal vegetables and fruits" Hayley said giving her basket so she can help her rip out the parsnips. Rose smiled, she looked up at the statue behind Hayley overlooking the garden "Cool statue"

" Oh that's Ceres..the Roman Goddess of agriculture, crops and fertility. She's been a guidance" Hayley smiled.

Down by the siren's river sat a cosy cottage surrounded with buttercups, lavender and roses in the summer time, in the autumn and winter it was just withered branches. Camille O' Connell dwelled in this cottage for 3 years now after becoming a vampire and leaving New Orleans. She continued her love for psychology but with supernatural beings, mostly horny teenagers with boy or girl problems as she often puts it but she also gets the deeply disturbing cases.

She rolled her eyes when she heard a knock on the door, it was her day off and hope it wasn't one of her patients. She placed her glass of wine down and rushed to the door, she swung it open to a smiling Klaus Mikaelson she almost closed the door when she pushed it open and invaded her space. He looked around the cottage while she folded her arms in annoyance "Why are here? YOU DROPPED ME OFF IN THIS TOWN AND YOU BARELY CALL OR WRITE OR VISIT"

"I left you with Elijah he's the most responsible person. You turn out fine. I know what you'll say you're still mad at me for turning you but I don't regret it. I couldn't leave you dying. I'm sorry I abandoned you, I just thought Elijah would've been better at teaching you the ways of the vampire"

Camille stared at him and sighed "Whatever...Why are you even in Mystic Falls? Who died?" She pushed pass him and grab her glass of wine and continued sipping.

"Vacation" he said looking around her living room.

She chuckled "Yeah...I'll pretend to believe that"

"Did you have a session with Elena Gilbert yet?" He asked.

"No but the council did send over her file...she's quite...interesting. Why? What are you up to? Cami narrowed her eyes. He smirked.

Later that night while Elijah was in the city having drinks with friends, Klaus did some reorganising in the library he built decades ago. He spent time down memory lane looking at boxes of stuff packed away. He heard a sound from a distance and curiously walked into the living room where the wind from the balcony blew the curtains in the air. He opened the chest next the mini bar and pulled out a small brass telescope. He walked out the balcony and took a peek from across "She lives right next door! oh Elijah" Klaus chuckled to himself.

[ Oh, Marie by Louis Prima]

He watched Hayley cooking and dancing around the kitchen, suddenly he saw Enzo spinning Hayley around burying his head in her neck, then he saw Caroline opening a bottle of wine blabbing away and started to giggle when Enzo pulls her in and spins her out. "Two witches? What on earth is he doing over there? What kind of coven is this" he frowned adjusting the lens. Then he saw her walking through the kitchen holding flowers and blowing a curl from infront her face, he observed her as she added water to a vase and placed the flowers in. Enzo kissed her cheek and she smiled but he could tell she was sad. He zoomed into her necklace.

"What are you doing?" Elijah said startling him.

"She lives next door to you with her...coven?" Klaus said walking inside.

"Stop spying on my neighbours. No not a coven..just friends living together" Elijah said snatching the telescope out his hand. Klaus smirked wondering why a Bennett witch was living with a Wincanton and whatever Hayley Marshall was.

When the day of Halloween came the town was alive with decorations and carved pumpkins on porches. Teens played tricks on each other while Caroline was busy with the rest of the planning committee fixing the tables, decor and set up for their out door Halloween party. Bonnie's 16 year old cousin Honey Bennett was adding a few more stitches to hers and Bonnie's costume. Honey Bennett's mother had died during child birth and Abby and Grams raised her ever since. Honey was eccentric and drawn to gothic things. Bonnie was worried about her love for metal and dark shit, she sometimes blamed Claudia. Honey's bestfriend from school, a vampire and of Creole origin like Bonnie's family. At the Manor Hayley and Camille were stressing about each others costumes. Hayley was gluing gems to her mini crown while Camille dreaded the idea wearing pink but Caroline persuaded her they were dressing up as Barbie this year.

Klaus playfully smiled at the women dressed up in slutty outfits as he walked down the busy streets eating black licorice. Music was blaring and kids were playing games while couples were making out. Bonnie carefully took a bite of her Grams pumpkin spice cupcakes she didn't want to smudge her lipstick. She was startled when someone poked her sides. She screamed when she turned around facing Enzo's painted face "What the fuck is this?" She said punching him in the shoulder.

"You know? The band KISS..Honey will get it...she's the cool the Bennett" Enzo teased. Bonnie laughed.

"But I love this...I love that you aren't letting Damon's engagement make you depress" Enzo said smiling at her admiring her Beehive 60s hair, cat eye black eyeliner and the off-shoulder fitted dress with splatters of fake blood. She hugged his arm.

Camille spent hours spraying her hair to the perfect Barbie colour and blowing styling her hair to the perfect waves. She adjusted her pink waistcoat and held her cowboy hat she tried not to fall on her face in the ridiculously high heels. Klaus laughed when he say her and she rolled her eyes "I don't think I've ever seen you in pink"

"You're such a disease...and I hate Caroline" She said stomping away towards Caroline who was waving at her.

Klaus walked around a bit observing everyone in Mystic Falls. He sampled a few Halloween themed cookies. He noticed Hayley Marshall in her Goddess costume playing a shooting pumpkins game with a strange blue eyed vampire.

"Best aim I've seen" the vampire teased Hayley who smiled "Archery trained...haven't done it in awhile but still got a few tricks up my sleeve. Never seen you around here"

"Visiting..passing through...Declan. Cami's cousin" He smiled at her putting gun down.

"Hayley..Cami's friend..I didn't know she had a cousin who's a vampire"

[Dreams by The Cranberries / Your Arms by Birdy]

Klaus grabbed drink while eavesdropping on Bonnie, she was speaking in French Creole to a Wicca witch and showing her something on her phone. She bid her friend goodbyes and turned around to get herself a second cocktail from Enzos' bar drinks booth. He faced and she faced him "Hi" he said. Bonnie smiled lightly "Hi". Then a silence haunted them for a second "Um ..I've never seen you around here? are you one of Enzo's metalhead friends? I really don't get the screaming and the dark stuff. My cousin Honey listens to it all day everyday with her bestfriend...oh God I'm blabbing...I'm sorry"

He chuckled "No its fine. I'm not a metal head. Maybe a few albums. I'm actually Elijah's brother"

"Ohhhhh from the High council...I hope you like our Halloween party and the baked goods. My grams runs a bakery and she usually do that sort of stuff" she sipped her Bloody margarita. The silence lingered once again she stared down at her drink and avoided checking him. She glanced at him and saw his blue eyes, her brain forced her to say something to avoid looking like a weirdo "Pajamas on Halloween?" She laughed but thought in her head 'shutup Bonnie'

"It's me being normal for Halloween...I have all sorts of horror during the other days in the year. So on Halloween I dress up as a normal human...walking around outside in their Pajamas." She laughed "I think I get it..I think"

"And this retro meets horror?" Klaus asked.

"Kinda Ronnie Spector with a horror splash" Bonnie smiled. Caroline and Hayley noticed Bonnie smiling and talking to Klaus. Stefan, Caroline's boyfriend questioned why Bonnie was talking to Klaus. But the girls shushed him and continued to admire Klaus. Bonnie's cousin Honey grabbed her arm, she had promised to visit Claudia's haunted house she designed. Honey was excited for "COME ON LET'S GO!" Honey tugged her arm. "Okay...do you want to come? It's a creepy haunted house" she smiled at Klaus "No its fine go have fun..."

"Bonnie..." She muttered.

"Klaus" he said watching Honey dragged her away.
