Always warning, never teaching. The only care and compassion had come from Grams but she’s gone so Bonnie must forge ahead. It was her decision to make so she chose to bring Jeremy back. It wasn’t fair. She wasn’t ready for another goodbye.
And it was fine, at first.
But then he began to decay. It was days before she realized that he only existed through her strength. Meditation opened that link between them and she could feel her magic flow into his body. Feeding him. It should have drained her but it didn’t.
She was stronger.
It was addictive.
Damon’s impulsiveness led them down another disastrous road. The Salvatore boys fighting again and it reminds Bonnie so much of her childhood that she just wants them to shut up. Tentatively, she explores that thread. Feels power surge in her veins as it opens up. Wind rushes through her hair and slowly the Salvatores both turn to her. Passive looks in their eyes. Waiting for her.
This was stronger than Jeremy. A different kind of death. Hers to command.
The ancestors had warned her. Taken away her magic. But Bonnie is a witch and magic will always find a way.
