“Oh, i’m sorry” Martha murmured, holding a hand up beside her in in apology. “Actually, I was just wondering if there were any job vacancies” she mused upon her approach. My name’s Martha. I’m kind of … new to town.” 

.

Bonnie felt the waves of magic roll over her before the other even had the chance to get another word out. The other might have been a witch, but Bonnie didn’t know if she knew that she had powers, so perhaps it was best to wait for her to reveal herself if she sensed Bonnie’s own magic. “Oh - yeah, sure thing...Let me check...” She made her way to the front desk, logging into the computer with the password she’d written on her hand that morning. “Welcome to Mystic Falls, I guess.”

Tyler’s embrace was perhaps a little too enthusiastic and he momentarily lifted Bonnie off of her feet, before placing her back securely onto the ground. “It really is so good to see you, Bon.” He gave a soft chuckle, before exhaling a slow and steady breath. Musing “I’m really here” as he eventually released her from his grasp and slowly withdrew. “Hopefully this is the last trip from the other side I end up taking for a while.”

.

She stepped back admiring him for a few moments before wiping the few remaining stray tears. “The last time we saw each other...” she’d done her best to try and forget the violent encounter - him attacking her mid-transformation as she tried to protect Damon. After his death, she felt she’d never get the chance to make amends with him. Now she was struggling to make eye contact with him. “I’m so sorry, Ty...I didn’t...I can’t help but think if I’d never interfered, you never would have left....and maybe Damon wouldn’t have...” She couldn’t even bring herself to say the words.

An eyebrow raised itself in interest when the woman stated that he was the reason she was wandering around the woods in the first place. “I see. Well, as they say, power seeks power, I suppose… especially given the similar nature from which our power is being drawn from.” He mused with an audible hum. “My name is Jin Gareau, formerly of New Orlenas.” He introduced himself. “And you are?” He questioned in return.

.

“You know Expression?” Despite the incredible things she’d learned about all different types of magic across the globe, expression was still relatively unknown to her - other than her previous experience, and that wasn’t exactly helpful. She took a few steps closer to him, seeing him clearer in the moonlight now. “I’m Bonnie Bennett...of Mystic Falls, I guess.”

[bxnnettwitch]

Mystic Falls hadn’t changed all that much in the time she’d been travelling the world. Granted, things had closed down, but there were new things that had opened up to replace them. Like the new florist, owned by one of her old high school friends. 

“Oh, no - I'm not the owner.” Bonnie turned from organising displays, greeting the voice that had approached her, “I’m just helping out for today - the owner should be back in a couple of hours. Maybe I can help?”  // @mysticofthefallenstarter​​

It’s just another fine evening in Mystic Falls like any other; its not a full moon, the werewolves are not running though the smell of wet dog is quite potent though goes unnoticed by the human clientele. The vampires are hanging around looking for a quick bite to eat and the egotisim of the witches is thick in the crowd that is mingling at the Mystic Grill. It’s open mic night tonight and god, who let the actual faries sing drunk karaokee. His quite sure his ears are still bleeding from that one as he taken up residence in the back corner, out of sight and mind for the moment. By the way it’s his first night back in Mystic Falls. Honestly has no idea how it happened or does he but it happens so often that he’s just stopped asking why. Which leads us to how does Kai Parker annouce his reappaerance back into the public eye. There’s got to be a few people who would love to know he’s back again.

 The fairies get off the stage and with that he jumps up from his seat and heads for the microphone grabbing it off the stand. “Helllllloooooooo Mystic Falls!” He says drawing out the words as he faces the crowd. “How are we doing tonight?! I’m Kai Parker and it’s been a while.” He says with a huge grin, “I’m so glad to be back. And in the words of one Eminem ‘Guess whose back….back again. Kai is back, tell a friend’.” He attempts to rap and it doesn’t come across so great. “Alright, I admit, that could have been better. Anyway, for your tonight’s pleasure, I’m going to perform one of my most hated songs, but always a crowd pleaser,” He says with a laugh, “Here’s Knockin on Heaven’s Door…” Cue the music.

Bonnie was deep in thought as she sat in the Grill, reading over an old Grimoire she’d borrowed from the Salvatore School library. A lot of it was familiar, but there was a spell every now and then that even she’d be hesitant to test out... This is available to the students? The thought of novice witches having access to this kind of magic was alarming. Maybe she should say something to Care or Alaric about the content in the magic section of-

Her thought process was interrupted by a voice that sent her blood cold through her veins. “No,” She breathed, feeling the magic begin to swirl through her fingertips. She had expression now, there was no way Kai could do anything to hurt her. Without even meaning to, she caused the karaoke machine to cut out, the lights flickering on and off causing some commotion in the grill. No. I’m in control. 

She shovelled the grimoire into her bag and got to her feet, heading for the door while everyone was distracted by the little light show she’d accidentally caused.

There weren’t many greater pleasures in life than friends, and Caroline’s best one just happened to be there in her office after much too long.  “Seriously?” she looked at the plaque as Bonnie set it back down.  The very idea that the school was well known outside of the little town of Mystic Falls blew her mind.  “People really know us?” a moment later another thought struck her.  “What brings you back from Germany all of a sudden?”

.

“Of course they do! You’re surprised?” She never failed to be amazed by everything Caroline had achieved. “You’re amazing, Care. Look at everything you’ve done here.” It was impressive to say the least. “You really have to ask me that?” She deadpanned, raising her eyebrows. “Mystic Falls pretty much has a neon sign for ressurected supernaturals above it right now...I’m gonna go out on a limb here and guess you know something about that?”

There wasn’t an ounce of hesitation in the wolf, as the familiar voice carried between them and he reached out for Bonnie, pulling her into a possessive hug. “Bonnie” he breathed tightening his arms around the girl’s petite frame. “Its good to see you. Its so freaking good to see you.”

.

Having her old friend’s arms around her filled her with so much joy. She wished she could just stay there hugging him for hours, savoring the moment as she was practically standing on her tiptoes to embrace him. “This is amazing,” she mumbled into his shoulder. “You’re really really here.”

Now that Jin had spent a little time in the town, he felt comfortable enough to wander the outskirts and the streets as the sun sank beyond the horizon and the cover of nightfall blanketed the area. There were so many fluctuating and interwoven magical threads throughout Mystic Falls that it was a little difficult to find and process where each one led.

He had wandered into the vicinity of some old ruined estate and was simply taking in the night breeze when he felt it - the resonance of another powerful witch. When her voice called out, he stepped out from around the corner of one of the ruined rooms and regarded her with an intrigued expression. “Now, aren’t you practically seething with magic…” He hummed quietly. The aura danced in the air like fingertips prickling across his mind. It was a familiar sensation calling out to something inside him. “What brings you to wander these woods alone at this hour?” He spoke casually.

.

Bonnie allowed her expression magic to reach out, sensing for any threats the other may pose towards her. He was powerful, that much was clear from what she could sense. “You.” She let her voice carry across the space on the wind. By no means was she fearless, but she wasn’t the scared little girl she’d once been when she’d stood on this ground with her ancestor Emily decades before. 

“Who are you?”

It was late. Probably sometime around 1am when she began to hear the whispers. They pulled her out of the motel room she’d grabbed and guided her down the street in the direction of the forest. It was a route she knew all too well - the old church. 

It was expression​, she could feel it all around her as it kept pulling her in the direction. And there he stood, among the ruins. Dark magic called out to dark magic as she peered into the night, the moon casting a silver sheen across the forest floor. “Hello?”

[bxnnettwitch]

@savedcarolineforbes​

“You’re, like, a big deal...you know that, right?” Bonnie chuckled as she held up the plaque on Caroline’s desk. “And it’s super frickin’ cool. I was in Germany helping out in one of the witch schools over there...this place is famous, Care.” She gestured to the room around them. Of everyone in Mystic Falls she’d left behind, Caroline was probably the one Bonnie had kept the most regular contact with, unsurprisingly.

“So it’s true then? You’re all really coming back?” She was doing her best to fight her hopes. It had been such a long time since Enzo’s death, and yet not a day had passed where she hadn’t thought about him. She’d convinced herself that it couldn’t happen, but now with Tyler stood in front of her...maybe...just maybe. Reaching forward to pull him into a hug, she couldn’t help but let a few sniffles escape. “Welcome back, Ty.”

Maybe she hadn’t been the best friend she could have been, but she’d sacrificed so much of her life already...and quite literally sacrificed her life multiple times for the people of Mystic Falls. After she’d woken Elena up, she knew Damon didn’t need her around anymore. Even when things were changing between the married lovebirds, Bonnie felt she’d already been gone too long, so she’d stayed away and offered support in the form of FaceTime and mailed cards. 

“Hey there Stranger,” she offered him a little grin as she held out the pancakes on a paper plate she’d just picked up from the store on her way over. “Long time no see.”

kat graham? no, that’s just bonnie bennett you know, the 28/38 year old witch. who’s been known to be fearless but self-sacrificing. they’ve also been called the town witch for those exact reasons. i heard that they were one of the survivors; but who knows how long that will last once everyone finds out that they have been using expression to slow her aging down and it’s beginning to take a hold of her again.

Bonnie’s full bio can be found HERE

After she saved the town and woke up Elena, Bonnie went travelling.

She has spent the past couple of decades learning about different forms of witchcraft from around the world, practicing new ways of magic. 

 Every couple of years she comes back to the US to visit her friends in Mystic Falls, but she spends the majority of her time in England, in the lake district.

In her travels, she found herself getting involved with expression again - at first it was in an effort to figure out what had happened to the dead when Hell had been destroyed, and if her own version of the afterlife she’d created when Enzo died still existed. 

She believes she can use expression freely now, without consequences, but has no idea that she’s addicted to it and it’s taking a hold of her again. She thinks she’s in control this time.

When the dead began to return, Bonnie began to be plagued by dreams of Enzo, Grams - even Kai Parker. So many things that she’d tried not to think about were pulling her back to Mystic Falls.

So now she’s back in town, figuring out what to do next.

I’ll add more as time goes on...
