Aikido is often translated as "the way of unifying (with) "or as "the way of harmonious spirit", which I have to say sound pretty witchy to me. The reason I chose Aikido instead of Judo was pretty simple, both looked badass but Aikido looked fancy, and a lot like magic.

I mean, you barely touch your opponent but with the right turning movements you can redirect your opponents strength and attack towards himself. Basically you kick ass and you don't even have to use your own strength, it's badass.

"You want to spar?" Reid asked, as the instructor ordered us to pair up and fight. He was one of Gram's students, or he was before she died. The usual cocky college male student that seriously needs to get his ass kicked by a younger woman than him. Luckily he was easy on the eyes, if you get what I mean.

"Sure, why not." I easily replied, and placed myself in position with both of my arms up, facing my opponent.

Aikido techniques are usually a defense against an attack, so students must learn to deliver various types of attacks to be able to practice aikido with a partner. During practice one has to play both attack and defense, although waiting to see what you opponent does first is always important.

"Hey Bonnie, want to go on a date?" Reid asked all of a sudden, probably trying to make me lose my focus.

"If you can win against me, maybe." I replied, two could play that game. He flashed me a smile before he started attacking.

Reid started with a very obvious face trust, or better called, a punch in the face. Not that he got lucky or anything. I grabbed his wrist, and used my other hand to control his elbow, applying pressure into the ulnar nerve in his wrist, and threw him to the floor. I continued to apply force until he was face down in the mattress.

"You have to try harder than that." I said smirking, as he flipped himself up on the floor. When he looked at me I sent him a wink, and turned around to leave. I had a stupid fundraising event to get to, again. What is it this damn town and events?

I got to the grill in time to hear Damon proclaim on stage that Alaric's wife was delicious, seriously, do these vampire even know what subtlety means? Sure just proclaim the guy's wife was tasty in front of a town known to have a vampire killing council, stupid vampire.

I noticed the weird looks shared by Elena, Stefan and Jenna and I immediately regretted coming to this thing. Damn Caroline and her events. Said blonde friend was currently busy with the sound system, but I was apparently forced to be here anyway. Great.

Alaric's date ended up being won by Jenna, lucky him. Matt's mom, who I totally forgot even existed, Kelly won a date with Bachelor #3. Damon won a date with Carol, who definitely cheated just to win.

I got to steal free food from the event, which is a plus, and eventually got to spend a few minutes in Care before leaving. I'm pretty sure Alaric would get killed tonight, but then again, the guy does have the ability to come back to life. Mental list: check those damn Gilbert rings.

--

"Yeah?" I said, as I answered Caroline call.

"Omg, omg, omg, Bonnie." Caroline said rapidly, obviously in complete panic.

"Care, what's up?" I asked, this time more alert. Something was up, did I forget some piece of the puzzle that is Mystic Falls?

"I found Vicki's body, like in a fucking ditch." Caroline replied, still sounding out of it.

"Ok,ok." I said, trying to calm her down. I definitely forgot who found Vicki's body, then again this is season 1, I don't remember every single detail. "Vicki got turned into a vampire by Damon, and she tried to eat Elena and Stefan staked her."

"What do I do?" Caroline asked, sounding somewhat lost. I suppose if I found a dead body buried in a ditch, in the middle of a thunderstorm, of a person I knew since I was born I would probably freak out a bit.

"Call your mom." I simply said, letting out a sigh. "Where are you?"

"I don't know, I barely have any cell service I'm pretty sure the GPS isn't working." The blonde replied dryly, and I rolled my eyes.

"I'll find you soon, don't worry." I replied, ending the call. I quickly grabbed a map and a shirt that belonged to Care and did a locator spell. Thank the Gods for magic.

I got Sheriff Forbes quickly enough to Care's location, and I ended up having a sleepover at Caroline's. Tonight, she needed a friend.

John Gilbert is back in town, have I mentioned how much I hate that guy? I mean, when I was watching him on tv, I didn't get why so many people hated him but now that I have personally known the guy... I just have to say that he and Isobel were perfect for each other, both were awful people. Not that I had any right to criticize, I'm definitely not Glinda the Good Witch.

The Founder's Day celebrations were coming up and I wanted to be the furthest away from it as humanly possible. I had been hearing Caroline yapping about being Miss Mystic Falls for years, I was tired of it before it even began.

But I was a Delena shipper at heart, so of course I was going to came and see the blue dress scene, it was hot on tv I'm sure it will be hotter on real life. I'm pretty sure Stefan is having his own blood issues, although I'm not sure how things are developing without the tomb vamps. Ehh, must be fate or something.

Before the event, I ended up stopping the Rippah from eating some chick. I know I'm not into charity work, so of course Elena and Damon owe me one. I hit Stefan with a pain infliction spell until he let the girl go, and then when on my way. I didn't feel like being in the middle of that damn romance triangle.

I got to witness the first good Delena scene, it was pretty good. Damon quickly took Stefan's place to save Elena the embarrassment of being abandoned by her escort in front of everyone.

February 15, 2010

"So your mom is a evil vampiress, I totally called it right?" I asked, as soon as Elena opened the door. Isobel was in town, working for Katherine, while in league with John. I just had to know if the damn Gilbert device was in play.

"Let's hope that was the only thing you got right." The doppelganger replied, with a small smile. Even she could find some amusement with the situation.

"Who knows, maybe I should take up tarot cards." I replied shrugging, as she stepped to the side inviting me in silently. "So, how about you tell me what is going on?"

"Ok, so the council thinks that the vampires from the tomb are free because of John, nobody knows you killed them before they escaped." Elena explained, as she closed her bedroom's door.

"Stupid idiots." I grumbled. I save this town from a bunch of resentful vampires, and it still comes down to this? Is the universe telling me something?

"John wants to use the Gilbert device to kill the supposed vampires in town, but we have it. Now my vampire mother from hell wants it too." Elena explained. "I don't know what to do. Do you know anything about it?"

"I know Emily was the one that enchanted the device, but other than that no." I replied, wondering what I was going to do.

"Maybe you can remove the enchantment then?" Elena asked, sounding hopeful.

What to do? Pull a canon Bonnie and pretend it's off? I mean it's not like it will do much, there aren't many vamps in town, the Mayor might die but it's his death that leads into the next plot- werewolves. But, Tyler gets affected, Caroline gets injured and gets turned by Katerina.

Again, in this case, it was better to do damage control than to let it go to luck. If I pulled a canon move, I'm sure the Salvatore's would still make it out, the Mayor wasn't that much of a loss and I could heal Caroline, or stop Katherine from killing her. I wanted Caroline to be her awesome vampire self, but she's my friend. If I'm altering the script for someone other than me than it's for Care for sure.

"I'll see what I can do." I replied, with a plan in mind. "But you owe me, again."

--

Now, I couldn't take out Emily's enchantment but I also couldn't leave certain things to chance. For example, the only vampire in town should be the Salvatore's, and most likely Anna and Pearl. Isobel would leave way before the device was activated and Katherine, well I'm sure she's around already, but she's well hidden.

Now, If I don't touch the device it's pretty likely that both the Salvatore's end up fried. Would that make me Elena's supernatural knight in shining armor? Not happening.

So, part one of the plan- warn the vamps. With that in mind I stalked baby Gilbert for an afternoon and soon enough Annabelle showed up. She's lucky I actually liked her character well enough.

"Baby Gilbert, Annie Fangy." I greeted, as I lazily sat down at their table like I owned it.

"Bonnie what?" Jeremy pretended to be confused, but I could tell he knew about vampires. Well, at least until Elena pulled a dick move on him and erased his memories.

"This is between me and your blood sucking girlfriend Jer, also, lose the surprised expression until you perfect it." I said, shushing the human. "Now, why are you still in town?"

"This is our home, mother didn't wish to leave." Anna replied, after giving her boytoy a slight nod.

"Ok, but do be aware that on the founder's day the council is planning on repeating history if you get what I mean." I informed, shrugging my shoulders. "If you are in town that day, it's hasta la vista baby."

"Thank you for the warning." Annabelle replied nodding with a serious expression on her face. At least this one isn't an idiot.

"You're welcome." I replied, and got up ready to leave. That's when I had the greatest fucking idea in my life. Jeremy, aka hunter of the five whose death frees Silas. Silas, aka dude who mindfucks Bon Bon. Bon Bon aka me. You see where I'm going with this?

"Jer, by the way, your sister is planning on having her vampire boyfriends erase your memories." I stated, with a wicked grin on my face. "Word of advice, don't tell her squat."

Before one of them could reply, I turned around and left the grill.

The seeds of doubt had been planted, give it time and it will prosper.
