We were still at the woods

Stefan and Damon were on the other side of the clearing

Elena, Bonnie and I were together

Bonnie and I were still in shock of what happened, still with no idea of what we did.

"I don't understand, Elena" Bonnie looked up "What happened to us? He attacked me, and his face was like..." She gulped, her eyes flickering to where Damon was

I bit my lip, looking at Elena for answers as well

Elena sighed "How do you feel?" I frowned. Elena looked between us, "Are you two okay?"

"I'm fine" Bonnie and I answered shakily.

Bonnie shook her head. "It's just this blood. I don't..." Stefan walked closer, interrupting her. Bonnie jumped, suddenly frightened and grabbed my hand

I eyed Stefan warily, practically seeing his face again of when he bit his wrist. I took a step backwards as well, holding Bonnie's hand also in fear.

"I'm not gonna hurt either of you" Stefan reassured us

I pursed my lips, looking at my cousin "What's going on, Elena?"

Elena looked at us, her eyes softening, "I'll explain everything, guys. Okay? Let's just get out of here" We looked unconvinced, our grip in our hands tightening as we cuddled together to protect each other, not taking our eyes away from Stefan, expecting him to jump at us like Damon did, "Bonnie. Jillian. Guys, look at me" we slowly looked away from Stefan and looked at Elena reluctantly, "He's not going to hurt you. Come on" Elena lead us to her car. "Come on"

Once at her car, she returned back to Stefan

I stared after her, "He was bad news after all" I murmured at Bonnie

Bonnie nodded quietly, "I just don't understand why"

"But, is understanding better or it's worse?" I turned to face Bonnie who I still hadn't told we were family.

"I don't know that, Jill" Bonnie squeezed my hands, "But, I'm glad I'm not alone in this"

I chuckled, "You're glad someone else got screwed than just you?" I tried to lit up the mood

Bonnie laughed slightly, looking down "It's not like that, but.. It's a nice change being out of the loop with someone" She sighed

"I'm always here to help out" I said with a grimace, trying to smile "That's what family is for"

Bonnie looked up "I understand. We're family, aren't we?"

I blinked "What?"

Bonnie smiled slightly, "I'm not stupid. You told me Amelia was Emily's sister and Grams told us she was your ancestor while Emily was mine. It wasn't that hard putting two and two" I smiled sheepishly. "But, I'm glad you confirmed it"

I gave her hand a squeeze as Elena walked closer, wiping her teary eyes

I looked around for any sight of Stefan but he was nowhere to be seen, turning back to my cousin as she looked to be in emotional pain

"What you saw tonight...." Elena began, looking between us seriously.

I exchanged a look with Bonnie

~8~

Elena explained everything she knew to us.

Stefan and Damon being vampires and all this time she knew, after the car wash.

She knew what happened to Vicky and explained to me why I could hear her. Why I could feel her death.

Stefan didn't know I was a witch, not until she told him. But, she also explained that when Vicky died and I screamed, Stefan knew too. And Damon. Which is why he knew I was possessed by Amelia as well.

They now knew I was a Banshee. And I didn't know if that was good

All those deaths, all the deaths Bonnie and I had predicted were because of Damon and it made us cry.

Both in relief as we finally found out another part of what we thought was our craziness and because we could have done something to stop them if we knew. If Bonnie had heard her grams about being a witch, it would have been all easier.
