Bonnie Pov.

Myself and Damon has discussed things for a good hour, before we decided to leave for my house, Damon believed it would be helpful to have Miss Flowers there, to witness my parents.

I knew it was for the best, yet I still didn't feel right with my parents being examined and discussed...

Climbing into Damon's car, instead of sitting in my usual front seat, I placed myself in the back seat with Miss Flowers. I knew she was slightly wary about going so far away from the Boarding House, I suppose it felt unnatural to her, which was understandable.

She gave me a warm smile, which filled me full of hope, I know Miss Flowers will know what is wrong with my parent's.

We drove in silence, but not an awkward silence more like a secure and safe feeling. Although, I knew Damon found my silence strange, he kept his hands wrapped tightly around the steering wheel, but I noticed him give me glances from the mirror, then shift his eyes instantly, as soon as I caught him.

I held in a giggle, and looked down at my hands, twiddling my thumbs, happily.

Miss Flowers broke the silence.

"Young love, it's beautiful is it not?" She sighed gazing off into the distance.

Nor myself or Damon replied, but I noticed that he began smirking at my blush.

The car began to slow, and I soon realised we were pulling up outside my small house.

"Here we are." Damon muttered.

Rolling my eyes, I clambered out of the warmth of the car, and allowed the cold air to bite my skin.

I shifted my weight from foot to foot, in order to keep warm as Damon helped Miss Flowers out of the car.

"The temperatures colder than usual for this time of year..."

Damon noted suspiciously.

As if on cue, it began to snow... hard.

Damon's eyes turned into two sharp pieces of glass.

"Damon..." I asked puzzled, raising my hands up towards the sudden snow.

"Let's get you two inside..." His voice was blank.

I nodded, and linked arms with Miss Flowers as Damon lead us inside the house.

Opening the stiff door, took me by surprise.

My usual warm inviting home, was just as cold as it was outside, the house was at freezing temperature. There was no light on at all, the darkness had crept around us all..

"Damon, I don't like this...What's going on?" I asked, terrified.

He came and wrapped his arm tightly around me, Miss Flowers smiled in awe.

"I said, I won't let nothing happen to you, just trust me."

Miss Flowers, stepped away from me, and placed her hands out in front of her, palms upwards.

Her grey hair flared behind her, as if a gust of wind had over taken her, I went to scream but Damon placed a finger to my lips, and gave me a relaxed smile.

Suddenly, a bright shine had over taken my eyesight, causing me to squint, it soon disappeared. The whole house was lit up, the fire and every radiator blazing...

Damon smiled approvingly, and I rapidly went towards Miss Flowers, and embraced her in a tight hug.

"Thank you, Dear. Now that it's slightly warmer and now I am actually able to see, let's go find your parents, shall we petal?"

I nodded, and we made our way upstairs, I realised Damon was not following us, but I didn't bother shouting after him.

The upstairs of the house was exactly as I remembered, everything was normal, every object in its rightful place, Miss Flowers smiled approvingly as we walked across the landing and into my parents bedroom.

Now my eyes really did begin to well up...

My parents sat on there beige bed, staring off into the distance, grim black bruise like bags hand underneath there eyes, obviously from lack of sleep. They were wearing the same clothes as they had when I left two days ago. They looked like zombies..

Miss Flowers wrapped her arm around my shoulder comfortingly, I began to weep into her shoulder.

Now kneeling down in front of my parents, I began to speak...

"Mum, Dad, can you hear me?" I choked out.

They continued to look straight me, but then I was startled as my Father began to speak.

"Bonnie, have you seen Michael?"

His voice was flat and cold, emotionless. He didn't even flinch while speaking; he just continued to stare straight past me.

"Hm, that is strange... there is definitely some type of compulsion here, dear. I don't believe it's a vampires work though, as if it was they would be completely normal. I think I know what type of work this is, take a step back please, sweetie."

I quickly wiped my tears away, and shuffled further away from my parents and let Miss Flowers work her magic...

Damon Pov

After making sure Miss Flowers and Bonnie were away from hearing point, I swiftly made my way out the door, into the cold autumn air, the snow had now vanished.

"You really think I'm that much on an idiot? The weather doesn't change so quickly, it's been moved off track. Bonnie's parents behaving like complete idiotic assholes, then of course a random stranger turning up out of the blue and is suddenly a family friend, what do you take me for?" I spat out into thin air.

I slowly kicked my feet across the ground, slyly pacing.

"Don't underestimate me, Warlock. I know who you are and I know what you want, now leave this town, or so help me I will rip you apart piece by piece limb by limb, I hope you understand that."

I smirked at the thought of tearing apart that Michael.

"Oh and by the way, find fun in somebody else's family, because no longer are you toying with Bonnie's. For the record, good attempt, but your just not... well, you're just not me are you now, Michael, so as if Bonnie would be interested in you."

Knowing he could hear me and was already listening from quite a far distance away, I let out a low chuckle and walked back inside.

Smiling happily, Bonnie came bouncing down the stairs, eye's slight puffy and red, but still the grin on her face shone bright. Miss Flowers gave me a cheerful nod, before tilting her head towards Bonnie, who without warning was making a leap for me.

Instantly, her legs were wrapped around my waist, hands pressed against my cheeks, her lips on mine.

She smiled against our collided lips, as did I.

"It worked."

I released a small chuckle and nuzzled into her neck, her red curls floating onto my face.

"In the morning they should be as good as new, there sleeping for now."

That's when I realised Miss Flowers was still here, gently I placed Bonnie on her feet. She pouted sadly, but then broke off into a fit of random giggles.

"Well, it has lightened up somebody's mood for sure, has it not?" Miss Flowers over and gave the giddy Bonnie a pat on the back.

She grinned up at me affectionately Damn, was she cute.

"I think we should leave Mr and Mrs McCullough to sleep now, don't you think dear?" Miss Flowers said softly, she gave me a small nod as a signal to say we should leave now.

I took Bonnie by the hand, but she loosened my grip and released my hand, confused I stopped and turned to her.

"I'll meet you out at the car." Miss Flowers said, before exiting through the front door.

"Carra?" I questioned in puzzlement.

"My parents will be fine in the morning, Ill be a sleep in a few hours, this is my house... So I presumed I would be staying here tonight?"

My face twisted in deep thought.

She was right, this was her house, yet I still did not want her staying here with that Michael still around... I guess she'll be fine though, I'm pretty sure I've scared him off.

Doubt dubbed at my mind slightly, but I shoved it away aggressively.

Giving Bonnie a sharp nod, I leaned down before pecking her on the lips.

"If anything happens you ring me straight away, okay?"

Rolling her eyes, she walked me to her door.

"Damon, I have lived her for a good 19 years, nothing terrible is going to happen tonight."

Now I was the one who rolled my eyes, after giving her yet another kiss I walked towards my car, and left for the Boarding house with Miss Flowers.

Michael Pov

The Salvatore's words repeated in my mind over and over again.

"find fun in somebody else's family."

Well fine, I'll do what the parasite says, Stefan Salvatore it is.

Julian gave me a look of sheer scepticism and shook his head as if I was a lunatic.

"You really expect me, to get into that green eyed Salvatore's head, take over his mind, confuse him, and plant thoughts into his head?"

He raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, yes that's exactly what I expect you to do."

"Well, Uncle Michael, everything comes at a price, what's in it for me?"

I thought deeply about this, something valuable enough to keep him by my side...

"She does have a dark haired beauty of a friend, she could be entertaining..."

So, I know it was not the best of chapters, but I plan on doing quite a dramatic chapter with my next update, so tell me, what did you guys think?

Much love,

Charl
