Chapter 1: The Recurring Dream

So warm. Bonnie thought. She knew she had to wake up soon but she couldn't bear to leave the arms wrapped around her. The figure behind her pulled her closer and his lips started leaving a trail of kisses across her neck.

"Jer, you know I would love to lie in bed with you all day but I have class in an hour. I need to get ready," Bonnie groggily stated.

Then, realization hit her and her eyes flew open. Jeremy's gone. Her heart started to race and her hands grew clammy. Who's with me?

She slowly detached herself from the arms encircled around her waist and she rolled onto the floor. She lifted herself up and looked at the figure on the bed.

"Bon, where are you going," Kai sleepily asked as he reached out to her.

"Oh my God," Bonnie mouthed as she ran from the room.

What? How? She frantically contemplated as she ran down the stairs of her dorm.

Swoosh.

A vampire? I can't let anyone get hurt. She ran into the nearest room. Bonnie rushed to the fireplace, grabbed the poker, and quickly hid it behind her back just as the shadowy figure appeared before her.

"Lily."

"Ms. Bennett we meet yet again."

"Leave."

"That's quite impolite of you; we haven't even had a chance to talk."

"I know what you want and you're not getting it."

"It seems you've misunderstood my being here. I'm well aware you've destroyed the ascendant. Instead I've come to request your assistance in finding what you witches affectionately refer to as a loophole."

"Well, loophole or not, I have no intention of helping you free those freaks of nature."

"I see, how unfortunate, I suppose I just have to kill you then," Lily said menacingly as she vamped towards Bonnie.

Just as she was about to grab Bonnie, Bonnie pulled the poker in front of her and Lily impaled herself on it. As Lily lay regenerating on the floor, Bonnie sprinted into the hall but she ran head first into a figure.

"Wow, you are not good at running," Kai quipped.

"Motus."

"No magic. Yeah, that's my fault. When I was spooning you earlier, I accidentally sleep-siphoned you. But go ahead, it's adorable. It's like you're having a little seizure."

"How did you get ou-"

"Did you really think you could betray others and not face any consequences?"

Creak.

"I couldn't agree more. Now it's time to die," Lily stated as she vamped towards Bonnie.

Just as her teeth were about to pierce Bonnie's throat, Bonnie's eyes flew open.

"Not this dream again," Bonnie groaned.

A quick preview of Chapter 2: Heretic-

Why can't I get her out of my head? I understand physical attraction. Lust, right? I mean I've slept with women before while I was in college but I've never felt attached to someone before. The closest thing to this is the soft spot I've always had for Jo but that's different. She's my twin and the only one in my family who showed me kindness. Damn this merge! All these emotions are messing with my mind...Dear God. I couldn't possibly be in lov-

"Thinking about the Bennett witch again," Garrett sneered.

"You know, it's kind of sad. I think desiccation had permanently affected your brain. Don't worry tho, I hear science has made great leaps in treating brain damage," Kai sarcastically replied.
