Authors Note: AH I apologize for the wait, my inspiration has lately just been in the shitter. Almost all my stories have come to a hault but I'm most proud of this story, so don't worry, I'll always update, eventually. I also would like to THANK TERANS-DINOSAURCOSTUME, the legend of the Fae that I am using for Nick, the newest reoccuring character, is from her. I've read her Bits Of Sunshine and I am a huge fan, and I've wanted to write something similar to it, but without stealing it, so I figured instead of doing that, I'd just create a character using that legend.

Chapter Three

The candle flickered as the wind drifted in through the window, Bonnie took a deep breath, feeling all her muscles relax. Her bedroom looked nice, if not great. Not that she would ever admit to her father, but it was much bigger then her old room. The queen sized bed was now a canopy, with a long white veil, and purple sheets. Her walls were faded blue, and her floors were white, but wood, it wasn't like any other piece of wood she'd seen. But it was gorgeous.

She was practicing her magic with one of Aunt Mona's spell books. Their crisp pages were endless. Like heaven, for a witch. A lot of the books were in latin, but Bonnie was able to pick one out in english. The cover was dusty and had a weird symbol on the spine. An X with a triangle coming out on the left and right side. She'd have to look that up, eventually.

It was a simple spell, a blood transfer, to be specific. A chant, a bit of blood, from both persons, and then they'd be connected. It didn't elaborate as much as she would have expected, but it was fine. Bonnie planned to use it on Kol, he was always going to be a threat, and if Bonnie were to kill him, all it would do was upset the perfect atmosphere of Dever. The last thing she needed was another Mystic Falls situation on her hands.

A sharp wind blew in blew in the room, the candles falling dim, remding her of the hour. It was around six A.M. Bonnie almost always woke up at sunruse, her father said she got it from her mother, but Bonnie seriously doubted that, it was probably just a witch thing.

Just then, a creacking sounded at the foot of her doo, startling her out of her daze. She slid off her bled, clenching her fists, ready to set fire to whatever idiot had made the mistake of breaking and entering, in a witches house.

"Hey, I brought you breakf-jeezus christ wtichy!"

He was tan, like her, and large, with shaggy blonde hair, and eyes the exact color of Bonnie's bed sheets. Purple. He iddn't look like anyone she'd ever met, not buff, but strong, not lanky, but tall, slim, but not skinny. Bonnie kept her glare on him, trying to ignore the fact that her burgalar was drop dead gorgeous. Or, as Caroline would say, T.U.B. Totally, and utterly, bangable. It was a term the cheerleader had forced upoin their clique since puberty, saying that it would catch on.

"Oh, I told him to wait for you to come down stairs and get it. My apologiez, Bonnie, this is Nick. He's from the haze." Aunt Mona appeared in the open doorway, taking the plate from who was now known as Nick, and placing it on her desk, before dragging Nick out of the room by his, slightly longer then usual, ears. They were gone and Bonnie was left to sit, munching on the plate of bacon. She had only one question on her mind.


"What's the haze?" Aunt Mona's eyes snapped up to look at Bonnie, she flashed her a knowing gaze. Nick sat next to her, not listening, as he inhaled what looked to be a plate, or mountain for better word, of candy. Mona smiled up at her, already pouring a cup of tea. "Ah, you caught that hmm? The Haze is the inbetwen of realities, its where Fae, such as Nick, live." She gestured towards him, and Nick's head shot up. His mouth hung open, candy spilling out, looking like a cartoon character, "wha?"

Mona waved him off and continued explaining. "Fae live in courts in The Haze, they have... lets just say a disagreement with the color red " she paused to sip her tea "cannot tell a lie, they also thrive off of sugar, and have an ability called glamour, but you'll probably find out about that soon enough" Mona scowled at Nick, a sheepish grin spreading across his lips"I dunno waddya talkin bout Dez" Bonnie couldn't help but wonder what kind of fresh hell it was to go to the dentist, as a Fae of course.

Bonnie gave her a confused look, her eyebrows furrowing, "Aunt Mona, no disrespect, but my best friends twin sister, Clary, is a Fae, and she can tell a lie?" it was true. Clarissa Gilbert was a sugar crazed, happy go lucky, maniac, forever in love with Damon Salvatore, a vampire. She missed her dearly, and planned for a reuninion soon, her Clary, Caroline, and their newest long distance friend, Maureen. Maureen lived in Beacon Hills, California. They met during one of Clary's knowledge binges, see Maureen's nona was a professor at a college who was obsessed with the supernatural, and supplied Clary with answers. That made her instantly apart of their clique, wether they lived in the same state or not.

This time, it was Mona's turn to look confused, but Nick had contemplative look on his face. "Oh, she's not a Fae!" he reported, taking another tablespoon of sugar into his mouth. Bonnie glared "Of course she is she sa-." She was cut off. "No she isn't!" he insisted, his voice turning into a whine that made Bonnie want to give in, "she's a fledgling! One of the courts was able to make a half human, half Fae, child, that way she's able to tell lies! I heard about her."

Bonnie's eyes widened and she made a mental to call Clary later, knowing that if she withheld information, then she'd just get the crap beaten out of her by the girl. Aunt Mona picked up a magazine from the table, rolling it up, and hitting Nick on the head with it. He gave a moan of protest. "Remember, Nick, I can always un-invite you, do not keep information like that from me. I'm going to go clean up the mess you made in my kitchen" she eyed his plate warily before taking long strides into her kitchen. From where she was standing, Bonnie could see the white powder covering the tiled floor. Like snow.

"So.." Nick took a hard gulp, swallowing a blob of sugar, before pushing off from the couch and standing. "So?" Bonnie spoke for the first time this morning, cocking her head. Her chocolate colored hair layed on her right shoulder and she folded her arms.

"She speaks!" Nick chirped and rushed towards her at a supernatural speed, draping one of his large arms over her shoulder, his out hand moving to pinch her cheeks "well, witchy, promised Dez I'd show you around Denver" Bonnie had a sneaking suspicion that his face was just naturally like that, all smiley. Not that it was a bad thing, in fact, it was refreshing. Like everything else in this city.

Mona peeked out of the kitchen and called"behave yourself."

Bonnie grimaced, had she done something wrong? "Don't worry about a thing, Dez, I'll wrangle the little Bennett if she gets out of hand" Nick apparently had the same line of thoughts Bonnie had. Mona let out a burst of warm laughter, hell, everything about her was warm. "No, behave yourself, Nick."

Bonnie grinned and rolled her eyes before placing an arm on his bicep and dragging him towards the door, despite his protest.


Nick had shown her literally every bit of Denver, from the bowling alley at the end of town, to the pidgen resting on the fountain at the local park. Bonnie actually found herself having fun with him. The idea of it all was just crazy, for her, I mean, just yesterday she had been breaking down in the girls bathroom after one dinner and too many thoughts, and now she was having lunch with a Fae.

The beach was the most fun out of all of them, they built sand castles, Nick promised to teach her how to surf, and they joined in a game of volleyball with some of the college students. Bonnie was surprised to find that she hadn't thought of Jeremy, or Kol, the entire time. He kept her mind on what was happening, made her forget the past.

Maybe it was part of being a fae, but every single person they ran into made friends with him. Nick talked to a group of retired old lady's who were whale watching, and they coo'ed and told him he was handsome, he even played with this lady's baby! His face just always had this trademark cheeky smile.

"Hiya Bonnie, its great to see you again! Can I take your orders?"

She glanced up to see Candy, this time clad in Thursday's theme, witch. She had a large black hat on, and a corset dress, that looked like a second skin, and stopped mid thigh. She had on purple eyeshadow, and sticking out of the pocket of her cliche cloak was a fake wand.

Nick gave her his usual 'just won the lottery' smile and set his menu down "I'll take a pepsi and a large plate of cheese fries" he began to unfold the napkin and place it on his napkin, dimples still high, almost teasingly, "if you could please, Candy."

Candy was eyeing him up and down, instantly attracted to the Fae, as per everyone else. Bonnie felt a familiar curl in stomach and she clenched her fists. Just then the wand 'accidently' fell out of its pouch.

"Oops!" she bent down to pick it up, and the table scooted to the left a little. Just as she was coming up, she hit her head on the table and gave a loud groan. Nick shot Bonnie a mischevious grin, wiggling his fingers together in an evil gesture. Even she couldn't resist his happiness, it flowed like a river towards her.

And then their moment ended and she was back up, this time a small frown on her face. Even Bonnie felt a tinge of guilt, she hadn't meant to hurt her, her jealousy just got a little too close to her magic, but despite all that, she was still fighting a giggle. Happiness was oozing off of Nick. "Are you okay?" Nick asked, concern lacing his voice. It was like Nick emitted a fog that made everyone worship his every word, because Candy practically melted. Probably from her concussion.

"Y-yeah, I'll be fine" Candy fixed her hair and popped out her hip, still focusing on getting Nick's attention, but failing. "I'll take a and the alfredo pasta, please." Candy bent down, collecting the menu's, 'casually' flashing her cleavage, before holding up a thumb "no problemo, be back in a flash." Her voice made Bonnie wanna hurl.

Just like that, she was gone, and all things were good again. Her hands unclenched along with her stomach, and the atmosphere lightened. Bonnie wasn't sure whether it was the jealousy over Jeremy and Nick, or what, but something about Candy was...off. Just as she was slipping into, as Caroline called it, that 'Stefan Salvatore brood', Nick started talking again.

"Hey, Bon...wanna play a game?" he whispered it like it was the most scandelous thing he had heard in years, a childish, dimpled, crooked smile lit up his face.

She smiled right back "what kind of game?"

"A fun one"

And that's how, the two began playing Sims. It was pretty mean, and no doubt everyone in Mystic Falls would disapprove, but Nick made her want to do it. He made her feel free, new, like she could do anything. Plus, it was worth the smile on his face. Nick charmingly got up, because lets face it, everything he did was charming, pretended to go throw something away, and then went and glamoured a bunch of people in Ruphio's.

So far they managed to get a rich man to fall in love with an old lady, and got the old lady to fall in love with the plant by the door, and the bartender to think she's actually a man. All of it was wrong, but also, all of it was hilarious. Especially when the old lady began to stroke the plant leaf's and moan.

Bonnie was hysterical in their booth, clutching her stomach, laughter echoing all around the restaurant, mixing in with Nick's light giggles. Together it sounded like bells.

When suddenly, a familiar voice broke through her haze of happiness.

"Bonnie? Bonnie Bennett?"

Standing behind Nick, confusion, angst, and a whole other load of emotions washed over Jeremy Gilberts face. His heart battling with the compulsion, because vampires can get rid of a lot of things with that power, and love wasn't one of them. That much was obvious when Jeremy crossed his arms and deeply frowned.


Authors Note: OMG WHAT DID YOU THINK!? I absolutely love love love Nick. He's gonna be our Bonnie's best friend who she's gonna get her emotions mixed up and try to hook up with, but no need to worry, Kennett is still our pairing, and Nick's got a heart of gold. He won't just settle down that easily. Besides, I have someone else in mind for him.

Now, I realize that this story has a lot of OC's already, but this is in Denver, whole new setting, whole new plot, this is gonna require a shit load of 'em.
