(pretend the blonde is jj)

"So you're a werewolf?" JJ questioned very very loudly. Charlie's eyes widened as she lunged across the table to put her hands over the other girl's mouth. They stared at each other for a second before glancing around to see if anyone heard. Luckily, it looked like no one did. Charlie slowly removed her hands from the girl's lips. JJ lowered her voice. "So, you're a werewolf?"

The brunette nodded slowly, sighing, "Yep, and it sucks." They were at school the day after the whole full moon fiasco. Luckily, nothing bad happened, and Charlie woke up in the cell, chains around her arms and legs. JJ smirked when she saw the girl naked before giving her the jacket around her waist.

"So, can you, like, smell what deodorant that kid over there is wearing?" she quizzed and pointed to a boy on the other side of the courtyard.

The Lockwood girl closed her eyes and took a deep breath, taking in all of the scents around them and focusing on the one coming from that boy, and then she scrunched her face up. "He's not wearing any."

"Ew.

"So, you're not, like, freaked out or anything?" Charlie asked worriedly. She searched the girl's face for any indication of what she was thinking. Her heart was beating out of her chest and her breathing was slightly heavy.

"No, I'm definitely freaked out," JJ breathed out, "But it's also kind of cool. I mean, not that you turn into a wolf every month. That's, like, even worse than a period, but I always thought this kind of stuff was only in stories. It's kind of like my childhood dream came true. And not to mention that the werewolf in question is superΒ hot."

Charlie smiled, staring in happy disbelief at the girl on the other side of the table. "You know, any other person would have run away from me screaming, but you didn't."

"Well, if I did, I'd be the girl who cried werewolf, and my parents would probably have me committed, so I couldn't really do that," the blonde explained. "And did I hear you mention vampires?"

"Yep, and witches, and who knows what else," Charlie nodded.Β 

JJ took all of that in and sighed, running a hand through her hair. "Wow. This is crazy... So, new subject. What was that fight about with your brother and Jeremy yesterday?"

"I have no idea," the Lockwood answered. "Those two have never really gotten along. It was probably about a girl or maybe they were fighting over who gets the career as the biggest asshole."

"I thought you liked Jeremy," JJ frowned.

Charlie groaned, "Not when he starts fight in the middle of an event with my brother. It's also kind of sad that my brother's worst enemy is two years younger than him. I mean, it's not like Jere can't take him, but why can't he pick fights with people his own age."

"Yeah," the Martin girl replied.

Charlie took a deep breath, turning her gaze to the other people around them. However, she did a double take when she saw Bonnie and Stefan sitting next to each other. Man, the world just really wants me to die of shock.Β 

Bonnie's hand was hovering over a sheet of paper, and Stefan was watching her closely.Β After a second, Bonnie dropped her hands and said something to the vampire next to her. Stefan nodded and stood up, walking away.

The brunette turned back to JJ. "Hey, I'm need to go talk to Bonnie about something. I'll see you later?"

The blonde nodded. "Yeah, see you."

Charlie stood up, blowing a kiss to the other girl, and made her way over to the table on the other side of the courtyard. "Hey, Bon," she greeted, and Bonnie looked up at the sudden voice.Β 

She smiled back at her, "Oh, hi, Charlie. Come on. " She patted the seat next to her that was previously occupied by Stefan.

She walked around Bonnie and sat down in the seat before speaking. "Long time, no see. What did Stefan want?" She started with a greeting before getting to the big question, and it seemed t work.

The Bennett girl shrugged casually, "Oh, he just wanted me to cast a spell for him. Apparently Elena's missing again."

"Cast a what?"

That was new. Why did no one ever tell her anything? It was something she was wondering a lot these days, but it was true. New information was constantly being sprung on her all the freaking time. Bonnie frowned, "I thought someone would've told you. When Stefan said you knew, I thought he meant you knew everything."

"Told me what?" Charlie quizzed, clearly confused and slightly upset. People tend to leave important stuff out of conversations.

Bonnie sighed, looking around before lowering her voice to a whisper. "That I'm, you know, a witch."

"No," Charlie groaned as she massaged her forehead with her hands. Being younger and not in classes with everyone else sucks. "No one told me that you were, you know, a witch. Man, that would've been helpful to know."

"Well, now you do."

The Lockwood sighed, changing the subject to what Bonnie told her Stefan wanted. "So, he's lost Elena again? What else is new?"Β 

"I know. He really has to keep better track of her. He's her boyfriend for God's sake. Apparently Damon picked her up on the side of the road somewhere and won't tell him where they are," Bonnie explained.

"Leave it to Elena to get herself into a mess like that," Charlie exhaled. "So you're a witch, huh?"

Bonnie nodded, "If I can ever figure out how to cast a damn spell."

"That's pretty cool."Β 

β˜ΎβŒ‘β„βŒ‘β˜½

"So, she says that it's all in my head, and nothing in books can help me. So, that sucks," Bonnie informed Charlie. After school, the Bennett girl had gone to her grandmother's house to get some advice on why her powers weren't working. Then, she called the Lockwood and asked her to get meet at The Mystic Grill.Β 

Charlie sighed, thinking about everything that Bonnie just said just in case there was some hidden meaning in the words. Nothing resulted in it, however. "She say anything else that could be helpful?"

"She said I need to face the thing that's scaring me so badβ€”whatever that means," Bonnie shrugged. She then ran a hand through her hair in frustration before looking back up at the girl across the table. "Any ideas?

"Well, what's been scaring you lately?" the younger girl asked, taking a sip from her cup full of Coke.

The Bennett girl paused for a moment, thinking about anything that could have been bothering her in the last couple of days. "I mean, this whole vampire thing has me freaked out lately. Damon almost killed me over by the old Fell Church ruins."

"Wait, maybe that's it," Charlie stopped her.Β 

The older girl furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, gazing in question at the girl that looked like she had just had some sort of realization a moment ago. "What are you talking about?"

"Maybe that's what your powers or mind or whatever is trying to tell you. Maybe you have to go there, to get closure or something. You might find something that'll tell you how to get your powers back," the Lockwood explained.

"That makes no sense," Bonnie told her, and Charlie's shoulders slumped in defeat. "But it just might work."

"Really?" the younger girl asked.

Bonnie shrugged. "I mean, at this point. I am willing to try to anything to get my powers back. I just feel so useless and empty without them. Will you come with me?"

"Sure," Charlie replied, "I got nothing else to do. JJ's working all night, and I'm supposed to pick her up when she gets off at nine. So, I have to be back by then."Β 

Bonnie nodded in understanding. "Got it. Can't leave your girlfriend waiting," she responded, and Charlie froze.

"What did you just say?" she quizzed. She had only told two people that she was dating JJ, and Bonnie wasn't one of them. "How did you know that?"

The older girl hesitated before blurting out, "Caroline told me. I'm sorry. Don't blame her. You know she can't keep a secret, and she just needed to tell someone. I won't tell anyone. Promise."

"It's fine," Charlie sighed, deciding to think about it all later.

They stood up to leave, but Charlie stopped in her tracks when she looked over to the air hockey tables and saw something unexpected. Jeremy was playing a game with a girl... a cute girl. A very cute girl. She didn't know why, but she felt a feeling of both anger and sadness at the sight. She knew it was wrong, but she couldn't help it.

Bonnie noticed this. "You okay?" she asked the girl, moving her hand in front of her face.

"Yeah," the Lockwood answered, snapping out of her trance and looking back at the witch next to her. "Shall we?" They then walked to the door and left.

But Charlie shot one more glance at the couple by the air hockey tables before closing the door behind her.

β˜ΎβŒ‘β„βŒ‘β˜½

Bonnie and Charlie were walking in the forest as they approached the Fell Church ruins. Very little of the stone walls were left, and the ones that were still there were barely standing. Light shone through the trees and bounced of the stone, giving it a shimmering effect.

"Man, this is freaky," Charlie commented as she gazed at the scene in front of her. "But it's also kind of beautiful."

Bonnie ignored her and continued to look around. After a second, the Lockwood watched her reach down and pick up a leaf. The younger girl furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, thinking that her friend might have lost her mind.

The witch held the leaf in her flat palm and raised her other hand over it. She seemed to be concentrating extremely hard, but nothing was happening. She finally stopped and sighed in frustration.Β 

"Come on," she muttered, shaking her arm and rubbing her fingers before trying, once again, to do whatever she was trying to do to the leaf. She paused and looked around as if she had heard something. "Do you hear that?"

Charlie shook her head in concern. "I don't hear anything. Maybe we should go, though. I don't wanna die by a church where a bunch of vampires are buried."

"Hello?" Bonnie called, dropping the leaf onto the ground. "Anybody here?"Β 

They both jumped when they heard the sound of wood cracking and leave rustling. "I heard that," Charlie told her. She felt a sense of fear rise in her stomach, and she was about to try and use her hearing and smell to figure out what was out there with them when the ground caved in.

They both screamed as they fell into some sort of hole. Sticks and leaves fell on top of them once they hit the ground. Charlie felt a blinding pain shoot through her skull as she hit her head on the stone floor. She sat up and immediately regretted it when she heard a ringing in her ears.

She groaned but forced herself up and looked around to find where Bonnie had landed. She spotted her unconscious body on the ground a couple yards away. She crawled over to her and began shaking her gently.

"Hey, Bon, wake up," she said, and after a couple seconds, the girl woke up. She grunted as she reached her arm up to hold her head, and Charlie picked up the rocks that had fallen on her.

Bonnie sat up, moaning, "Ow." She touched her forehead and looked at her hand and saw blood on it. She then glanced down to her knee that had been scraped up.Β 

Charlie looked down at herself to see the damageΒ  that was done to her body. There were some cuts and bruises on her legs and arms, but those would be healed within the hour. What was most upsetting was the large tear in her blouse.

Charlie helped Bonnie stand up, the older girl gripping her leg in pain, and they examined their surroundings. They seemed to be in some sort of underground bunker.Β 

"Hello?" Bonnie yelled, looking up at the giant hole in which they fell through. "Anybody?"

Charlie sighed running a hand through her now very tangled and messy hair. " It's no use. No one is going to hear you, Bon. We're in the middle of the woods, and no one knows where the hell we are."

Bonnie groaned loudly and spun in a circle to study the room they were in. Charlie followed suit, and she spun around when she heard Bonnie gasp. There, on what seemed to be a door, was a pentagram carving.

"I think we found the tomb."

β˜ΎβŒ‘β„βŒ‘β˜½

"Ugh, no signal," Bonnie told Charlie, waving her phone around in the air in an attempt to get a signal so that they could call someone. If it came down to it, the werewolf was pretty sure she could get them out of the hole, but that was only a last resort.Β 

Charlie looked sadly down at her ripped blouse. "Man, this was one of my favorite shirts," she complained.

Bonnie walked over to her and ripped the torn part off, leaving the fabric reaching down to the end of her ribcage. "There. Now it's a crop top. Stylish and sexy." She winked before going back to her phone waving. "Come on, phone. Great! Great."

Charlie rolled her eyes and smiled before examining the carvings on the walls. She whipped back around when she heard a whoosh and a thud followed quickly by Bonnie's scream.

"Bonnie!" Stefan yelled.

The Bennett girl, seemingly not knowing who was in front of her, scrambled back in fear. "Get away from me!"

"It's me. It's Stefan," he told her, trying to calm her down. He approached her slowly with his hands up. He glanced to Charlie, and a look of confusion crossed his face. He shook it off and turned back to Bonnie.

"Stefan?" Bonnie relaxed slightly before beginning to explain. "The ground gave way, and we fell..."

"We found the tomb," Charlie informed him, pointing at the door behind her. He looked over it quickly and raised his eyebrows in shock. The brunette could tell that he wanted to study it more closely, but he decided against it for the moment.

He said in a steady voice to a freaked out Bonnie, "It's okay. It's okay. Calm down. Come on, let's just get you guys out of here."

"How?" the girl questioned, staring up at the entrance of the hole.

"Just close your eyes. Trust me," he told her. He wrapped his arms around her firmly before turning to the other girl in the tomb. "I'll come get you next, Charlie." She nodded, and he pushed hard off the ground. He flew up into the air, Bonnie in his arms, and landed on the ground above.

"You can open your eyes now," Stefan told her, and Bonnie slowly opened them back up.

Bonnie looked around in amazement while Stefan removed his arms from around the girl.Β "Woah," she exclaimed, shocked at how they had got up there so quickly.

Stefan was about to jump back into the ditch to bring Charlie up to join them, but Bonnie stopped him and questioned, "How did you know where we were?" The Lockwood below them tapped her foot impatiently, wishing so badly that she could jump up there with them without exposing herself.

"Well, your grandmother told me what you were doing. I guessed the where, and I had no idea that Charlie was here with you until I got here," the vampire answered honestly.

"I heard them...down there behind the door," Bonnie informed them. "Are they in pain?" She waited for an answer, not totally sure she wanted to know.

Stefan shook his head before tilting it as if changing his mind. "In the beginning, yes, but not anymore. They've starved to the point of desiccation." Charlie cringed at that, knowing that being stuck like that down there must've sucked.

"But if they have blood..." Bonnie trailed off, but both the werewolf and the vampire knew what she was asking.

Stefan promised her, "That's not going to happen, Bonnie. They can't get out. Emily saw to that when she had you destroy the crystal. You're safe." Bonnie said nothing, but she and Charlie looked up at him in doubt. If they both knew one thing, it was that vampires always find a way to get what they want.

"A little help down here?"

β˜ΎβŒ‘β„βŒ‘β˜½

"Should I be jealous that you spent the entire day in a hole with another girl?" JJ quizzed as the couple walked down the street, ice cream in hand. Charlie had just finished recounting her day to her girlfriend, and she was exhausted just thinking about it.

Charlie gasped, smirking as she commented, "Dirty." JJ rolled her eyes, but she couldn't stop the smile that crept onto her lips. The Lockwood shrugged. "Depends. Do you think Bonnie would be interested?"

The Martin girl shoved her shoulder lightly, and the two chuckled. "You know, I was thinking about something today while you were gone."

"How totally amazing I am and how much you miss me?" Charlie guessed jokingly, taking a bite out of her ice cream. JJ stared at her in disgust because she hated it when people took bites out of their ice cream. "What? It's going to the same place."

JJ shook her head before moving back to what she was going to say. "With all the werewolf, witch, vampire, and all things supernatural drama going on, we never got to have our special night. My parents are still out of town."

"No, I guess we didn't," Charlie smiled, gazing suggestively at the blonde walking beside her. She acted as if she was weighing the options, but on the inside, butterflies were forming in her stomach. "But it is a school night, and I would hate to be late for school."

"I'll drive you to school tomorrow," JJ offered, and they conveniently came to a halt in front of her car.

Charlie shrugged playfully, "And then there's the issue of clothes. I can't show up to school in this." She gestured down to her clothes that had been torn by the fall. People probably thought she got attacked by something.

"You can wear some of my clothes," the blonde told her, and she began stepping closer and closer until Charlie was backed against the car. "Or we could even stop by your house."

"You make a fair point. I guess there's no good reason that I can't come over," she smirked.
