'In the beginning things were so simple, well ... not really. This new life for me was tough, I mostly dissociated reality when I was a child, with time it got easier to know this isn't a dream.

I remember my psychiatrist telling my father this disassociation also resulted in lack of empathy which was why she diagnosed me antisocial personality disorder. In case any descendants of mine that are reading this don't know what that is (if I even have descendants), well, it's commonly known as sociopath. In the words of Sherlock Holmes, I'm high-functioning sociopath.

Even so those were the days, the calm before the storm. We used to do normal things before, like going out to the grill to play pool and eat fries. That was b.s (before the Salvatores), after vampires came back to Mystic Falls everything changed. Fucking Damon trying to play ball, and Peaches being annoying. Katherine being troublesome, yet looking cool as shit. I'm not even going to mention Elijah yet, with his awesome good hair, or Klaus with his shitty dimples. There's so much to this history yet to be told ...' - Bonnie Bennett's Diary, page 25

"So what are you doing today?" Caroline asked, after our first class. I had been in school for two hours and I already wanted to leave this cursed place.

"Let's see..." I said thoughtful. "I'm going to ditch P.E to go see a vampire about daylight rings to get more money. After that I'm going to get something to eat at the grill, so how about we meet up at 5 p.m for brunch, and I'm going to spend the rest of the day training."

"Why do you need more money?" Caroline asked perplexed. "Didn't you get a bunch of money from Jeremy's vampire girlfriend?"

"I did, but I need more." I replied, opening my locker and stuffing my math book in there. "I only spent some of that on Grams funeral, but I need more."

"What are you scheming now dear friend of mine?" The blonde cheerleader inquired, with an amused smile on her face.

"You know me, always scheming." I replied, shrugging.

"I bet five bucks I know what you're doing." Care said, now smirking at me. "Care to take that wager?"

"I'm the seer here, but sure go for it." I replied, as we started walking towards our next class.

"You've been hauled up in some secret witch cave of yours that you have yet to share with me, and If I know you, you want to upgrade it to be as awesome as the batcave." The blonde guessed, looking at me for confirmation.

"Maybe." I replied, amused at her deduction.

"I bet you want to make it super safe, and recalling the vast number of vamps in this town these days I say you want to buy the land or the house, or the cave..." Caroline continued, looking at my response.

"Not bad Sherlock." I replied with a shrug. "What do you make of it?"

"I think it's awesome to have your own super secret witchy hangout, but only if you invite you Buffy to chill in it too." She replied, proud of herself of guessing what I was up to. "But do you really need more money for that?"

"Well, buying it is easy enough but fixing it is going to take a pretty penny." I replied, thinking about it. I wanted to buy the witch house, not only did it have it's own security already installed with the dead witch spirits and all, but it also was very hard to find. If what I remember was correct Elijah had tried to find it with the help of his witches and didn't find it, the only one who knew it was Damon because he tried to save Emily.

"How are you going to fix it and keep it a secret then?" Caroline asked, interested.

"Well I was going to hire some people from out of town, and I was planning on asking you a favor." I replied, as we arrived at the classroom. "I'll tell you later tho, time for english class."

It took me two hours to get to Richmond, I was meeting Slater at the Café he worked on. The one where Elijah destroyed the windows with coins, being a total badass in season 2.

I walked in and found Slater easily enough, you could feel the hope and the jitters from miles away. I sat on the empty chair in front of him and he almost jumped like a scared cat. If I didn't know better, I wouldn't have thought this one was a vamp.

"Hello." He greeted in a small smile. "I'm Slater. Are you WickedWitchBennett?"

"You can call me..." I started, about to give him my name when I thought better about it. This guy was killed by Elijah, but also compelled. Let's not give my enemies more free information. "Maze."

"Maze?" He inquired, surprised. "Like Mazikeen from that DC comics spin-off of Sandman, Lucifer?"

"No, more like an abbreviation for Maisie." I replied giving him the name of my ancestor, while rolling my eyes at his obvious nerdiness. "What kind of name is Slater anyway?"

"It's my last name, I change first names every few years so people normally just call me by my last name." He explained.

"Whatever." I replied, with a sigh not in the mood for small talk. "So you want jewelry right?"

"Yes, I do." The blonde vampire replied, with a determined look on his face. I had to admit he was kind of cute, although I'm pretty sure he's got a human girlfriend.

"Ring, bracelet or necklace?" I asked, getting down to business.

"I was thinking, maybe, a small earing?" He said, nervously looking around to see if anyone was paying attention to our conversation. Right, vampire café. "Harder to notice, and harder to take off."

"Smart." I commented with a smirk. "I like you, although that doesn't give you a discount."

"Of course." He replied, with a smile, as he turned his computer screen towards me. It showed 50 million dollars, ready to be transferred to my bank account.

I nodded at him, and smiled. "Give a moment, I need to go to the toilet." I excused myself and went to the ladies room, which was thankfully empty.

I lit a small piece of sage for secrecy, while grabbing a small lapis lazuli stone. I checked the spell once more in my phone, since I had taken a picture of it, and I quickly created the earing with magic and spelled it. In less than five minutes I had 50 million in my pocket, nice.

I put out the sage, and went to see Slater who was still were I had left him. I greeted him with a smile and put the earing on the table where he could see it. "Your turn buddy."

He almost started jumping on his seat before putting his password and pressing ok on the transfer. He turned the computer once more to me, where I saw that it had gone through. I then pushed the earing towards him, which he grabbed like it was the holy grail. "Thank you so much." He said.

"No problem, good doing business with you." I replied, while thinking that if it had been me I would have checked the earing first before paying. Luckily for him, I'm not a bitch out to deceive anyone.

I started to get up, ready to leave when Slatter called out. "Hey, I might know some more people interested in your services."

"Send them my way then." I replied, pushing the door of the café open. I had a two hour drive back home and I better hurry or Caroline would kill me for being late for brunch.

"Hey." Elena and Caroline greeted at the same time, as both took a seat. I didn't know Elena was coming but whatever. They ordered two chocolate milkshakes, not hungry to eat anything else.

"Sup." I replied, taking a sip of my hot chocolate. "It's been a while since we catched up Lena."

"Yeah, my life's been a mess." The doppelganger replied. "Damon as been up about Mason Lockwood, and so has Stefan. Where planning on going to Duke University to check on Isobel's research, maybe there's something. She knew about vampires, and Katherine, so maybe she knows why we look exactly the same?"

"Probably." I replied, not giving much away. This was why I thought Elena was self-centered, when you catch up it goes both ways but with Elena is mostly about her drama. Which didn't make me want to tell her any hints about the future. At least now her drama was more entertaining, before the Salvatores it was all about Matt and cheer practice, ugh.

Caroline catched on my annoyance, and intervened before Elena could continue as their milkshakes arrived at the table. "Are you guys going to the party Tyler's throwing at the swimming hole? It's in two days."

"Sure, if I don't have anything to do." I replied, shrugging. I needed to get drunk, I had been way to stressed with this vampire bullshit lately.

"Yay, let's go together!" Caroline cheered, obviously still getting used to her heightened emotions.

"What's up with you Care?" Elena asked, laughing. "Your more energetic than normal."

"She's high on blood, and sugar." I replied, looking at the half drunk milkshake in front of the blonde vampire.

"Blood?" Elena asked, completely shocked. Right, nobody had told her about that yet. Ops, and the vampire cat is out of the bag. Again.

"Care's a vamp now." I replied in a deadpan, as I took another sip of my drink.

"What?" The doppelganger asked with a frown, looking at Caroline for answers. "How come you didn't tell me? And why are you here in the open with all these people?"

"I died with Damon's blood in my system at the hospital." Caroline replied with a shrug. Yes, she's been hanging with me way to much. "Bam, Caroline on crack that drinks blood. And I'm fine, I totally no need to eat people thanks to Bon."

Elena looked at me, inquiring silently, and I let out a sigh. "I made her a talisman for the bloodlust and a daylight ring. All's well that ends well."

"Caroline..." Elena said softly, still astonished. "Why didn't you tell me? You changed species, that's something I would like to know."

"Vampires existing in our town was something that I would have liked to know, but you didn't tell me." The blonde replied seriously. "The only reason why I didn't end up as a blood bag for some vampire in this town is because Bonnie told me, not you."

"It wasn't my secret to tell." Elena replied, looking aghast.

"True, but the fact remains." Caroline replied, rolling her eyes. "When was the last time you asked how we were doing Elena? Lately it's all about keeping up with the Salvatore drama."

"That's..." Elena started, not sure how to reply.

"I get it, you and peaches have an epic romance." I finally spoke up. "But we have our lives too, you can't be pissed you didn't know something when you haven't been around much. Did you even visit Caroline at the hospital? Did you talk to her after she left the hospital?"

"She was busy with Matt, and Katherine showed up and hurt uncle John." Elena said, before sighing. "I see why this happened, but don't shut me out. You're my best friends, even if there's drama in my life I want to know about your drama."

"Even if my drama is you ex-boyfriend?" Caroline asked Elena, with a smile. "That's bound to be awkward."

"Awkward drama is good entertainment." I said before Elena could reply. "Please entertain me, I've been bored lately."

They stared at each other, before rolling their eyes at my antics and we shared a good laugh. It's been a long time since the three of us had a moment like this.

After that I drove up to the witch's house to do something I had been planning for a long time. I was taking my elemental training to the next level. Tonight I would do it, I would create ice like the freaking White Queen.

I opened the front door and said loudly. "Honey I'm home."

"No need to be so loud, we can hear you perfectly granddaughter." Emily greeted, with a bored look on her face.

"There you are, I need to speak to you about a few things." I said, nodding at her as a greeting. "How would you and your witch buddies feel about me buying the land and the house?"

Emily looked at me surprised, before she turned her head slightly to the right side, as if earing what the other were saying. I could only hear them if I tried, so I left the communication with spirits to her.

"We don't mind, specially since it's you Bonnie." Emily informed me with a smile. "After all, your part of our coven."

"Coven? Since when?" I asked, surprised. Was there a Bennett coven that I hadn't been aware of?

"The witches burnt in this land were the Bennett coven." Emily replied. "So we have nothing against this plan of yours."

"Ok cool, I'll ask more questions later. I'm planning on fixing the house too." I replied. "Now, I'm finally ready to do it."

"I've told you that I've never seen witches use the elements like you plan to." Emily replied, cautious. "Are you sure you want to try it?"

"Of course, just because you've never seen it doesn't mean it can't be done." I replied with a scoff. With that I put a large bowl with water in front of me and sat on the ground comfortably.

I first started by feeling the water in the bowl, and when I had a good feel of it I tried dropping it's temperature. I thought I had it, but when I opened my eyes the water continued there looking normal. I frowned at it, and put my hand in it only to hiss out when I felt that the water was freezing. Freezing but not frozen, damn it.

I continued trying to make it work for two hours, until Emily took pity on me and appeared once again. That, or she came out to laugh at me. Probably the latter.

"That's not working is it?" Emily said, and I could hear her snickering at me.

"Do you have any sage advice oh dear many-greats grandmother?" I asked, sarcasm dripping from my voice.

"What your doing any witch can do, but that's not what you want to do." She said, as she kneeled down on the floor next to me. "Changing the properties of the elements is easy, what you want to do is combine them. Right now that's not what your doing."

"Explain." I almost growled out, frustrated with my inability to solve this. I was all-knowing and shit but even I was still clueless about some parts of the craft.

"Changing the strength of the wind, the length of the fire and the form of the earth is the basic training for elements, and so is changing the state of the water. When you started training water did you not change its state?"

"I heated it up." I replied, not getting it.

"Exactly, you boiled it, and right now you're only doing the opposite, chilling the water." Emily explained, and I groaned.

"So I've been doing basic elemental trained for two hours, not what I wanted to do." I said, wanting to bang my head against the wall.

"Try it again, except this time call forth the wind first. Don't focus so much on the water but on the wind." Emily advised, before disappearing once more.

I took a deep breath, and closed my eyes once more. This time I focused on the air around me, and I chilled it down until I felt shivers down my arms. When I thought I had it cold enough I focused on the water in front of me, while keeping the air chilly at the same time. The water had already become cold because of the air but I wanted it frozen so I focused all of the cold in the air on the water while I made the chilled the water more at the same time. I continued doing the same thing for a while, afraid of opening my eyes to see failure once again.

"Granddaughter?" I hear Emily calling, but kept my eyes closed.

"What?" I asked, afraid of letting my concentration slip.

"Open your eyes, I think that's enough." Emily replied, and I could feel the amusement in her tone.

"Can't you see I'm training Emily?" I groaned at her as I opened my eyes, only to stare at the room around me in wonder.

"I can see that indeed Bonnie." Emily replied, as she looked around the room which was frozen from top to bottom. The ice reached the ceiling, and the floor looked like a frozen lake."You froze the whole damn room."

"I did it." I cheered, laughing and jumping in surprise. "Yaaas. Take that Queen Elsa."

Unluckily for me, the frozen floor was also quite slippery and I ended up slipping and ending up on the floor with my ass on the freezing ground. "Ouch, goddamnit."

Emily laughed at my expense, and I swear to the gods that I could hear the rest of the dead witches laughing at me also. All in all, today was awesome.

"Totally worth it." I moaned with a laugh.
