Story Title: Snowed In

Rating: T (for language)

Disclaimer: I don't own the Vampire Diaries.

Summary: Everyone in the town of Mystic Falls gets snowed in with no power when one of Bonnie's spells backfires. Who's stuck with who? And will everyone survive the night?

A/N: It would take me until half way through Spring to start working on this story again. But what can I say, I'm lazy and have been seriously lacking writing muse lately. Its a super short chapter too, lol!

Chapter 3

Hey, what's going on up there?" Jenna called from down stairs.

"Um, nothing!" Elena called back. But that was far from the truth. Elena was checking Bonnie's pulse with a shaking hand. She was alive, just passed out. Bonnie's face and arm were slightly red from where the hot chocolate had landed on her, and her shirt was stained with blood from her nose. She had to do something. She tried to lift Bonnie's limp body onto her bed but she wasn't strong enough.

"Caroline, come help!" She said urgently.

"I can't…" Caroline whined.

Elena turned to look at her. She was huddled in a corner of the room facing away from them.

"Caroline!" Elena hissed angrily.

"I can't Elena, the blood!" Caroline spat back as she tried to control her urges.

Elena understood. Stefan still had problems around fresh blood too, and he was a almost two centuries older than Caroline.

"Well can you at least go get some ice and rags?" Elena asked.

"Just… Give me a minute, okay!" Caroline snapped, her temper flaring.

"Fine, I'll go get them." Elena said rising to her feet, and heading to the door.

"Don't leave me alone with her!" Caroline whined.

"You've gotta be kidding me!" Elena said under her breath.

"No! I'm not!" Caroline had clearly heard her.

Elena rolled her eyes and began dragging Bonnie towards the bathroom. It would figure that even as a vampire Caroline was still a drama queen and completely useless in a crisis.

It was a slow process but eventually Elena managed to drag Bonnie into the bathroom. She shut the door behind them. She grabbed a few rags off a shelf and put the in the sink with cold water running over them. She took one and started wiping the blood off Bonnie's face. She stirred and started to shake a little.

"Ugh…" Bonnie whimpered.

"Bonnie! Are you okay?" Elena asked in a worried voice.

"My head is killing me…" She said raising a shaking hand to her temple. "What happened?"

"You got burned while you were chanting… You passed out." Elena decided to omit the part about it being Caroline's fault. "How does your arm feel?"

"It stings." Bonnie's eyes fluttered open. "Is it bad?"

"No." Elena assured her. "Its not a bad burn its just inflamed I think." She got up and rung the rags out and started placing them on the parts where Bonnie got burned. It wasn't ice, but it would have to do.

"Hey! Its snowing!" Jenna called excitedly from downstairs.

"So it worked?" Bonnie asked weakly.

"Yeah." Elena replied distractedly as she removed the rags from Bonnie and set them to soaking again. "It worked. And you're gunna be okay Bonnie." She ran into Jeremy's room on the other side of the shared bathroom and grabbed a shirt off his floor. "So everything's gunna be okay, Alright?" She knelt down to help Bonnie take off her blood soaked top. "Lets get you out of this though. Caroline's kinda freaking out over the blood…"

"Ughhh.." Bonnie moaned with the effort of having to sit up.

"Here put this on." Elena pulled the baggy superman shirt over Bonnie's head.

"Is this Jeremy's?" Bonnie asked looking down at the logo.

"Yeah." Elena confirmed as she went to get more rags out of the sink. "Sorry, I couldn't find anything clean."

"Its ok." Bonnie murmured. "It smells nice…"

"Ummm, okay…" Bonnie was clearly still out of it.

"OH MY GOD!" came Jenna's confused voice from down stairs. Elena turned the faucet off to stop and listen.

"Aunt Jenna?" she called back.

Caroline replied instead. "Um, you guys?"

Elena opened the bathroom door and peered in at Caroline. "What?"

Caroline pointed outside. "The snow's half way up to the window!"

"Caroline, that's ridiculous. We're on the second floor." Elena said stalking out of the bathroom and over to the window, her phone buzzing in her pocket.

"I know…"

I'll try to be a little more regular from now on. No promises though... ~ bye!
