By the time we got home, the moon had already passed and the sun was already starting to rise. I slipped out of the dress Klaus bought me and laid it over the couch in my room. Undoing my hair, I hear a knock. “It’s open,” I shouted. Bonnie let herself inside the room as I continued minding my own business.
“I promised to explain everything,” she said. I gave her a nod, “I can’t tell you all the exact details, because it would reveal Klaus’ secret. And one thing that I am fairly certain of is that no one can mess with the King and get to live another day. However, there are some things that I could tell you.”
“So talk,” I sat down on the bed, curling up.
She swallowed, “I can’t tell you exactly why we knew each other, but I can assure you that Klaus and I are not, and have never been romantically involved.”
I nod, “Okay. Well, if there’s anything else that you could actually tell me,” I say, climbing off the bed and walking to the door. I gesture to the door as I opened it, “Please don’t hesitate to stop by. My door is always open,” I say sarcastically. I don’t want to fight with her, but it hurts me to know that she doesn’t trust me at all.
“There is,” she said, getting up to close the windows and fans. “Close the door and get over here. I have something to show you.” I made a face. “Trust me,” she mouthed. I let out a heavy sigh, slamming the door shut. She grabbed a pair of scissors from my night table and ripped open one of my pillows.
“Hey!” I shouted, climbing back on bed.
She scattered the feathers on my bed, smiling. “Be patient.” She sits on the foot of my bed, “I need to swear you to secrecy.”
I kept my expression jaded. “It’s kind of a bad day for that kind of stuff.”
“Swear. ‘Cause I’m not supposed to be showing you this.” I kept silent. “Look, I know I’ve been kind of MIA when you need me the most. And I suck. But you need to swear.”
I sigh, “Okay. I swear.”
“Okay.” She made gestures as she spoke, “There’s no windows open, right?”
I looked around from left to right. “Right,” nodding a little.
“There’s no fan. No air-conditioning.”
I rolled my eyes. This is ridiculous. “None! What are you doing?”
Smiling, “Grams showed me this. You’re gonna love it.” She paused with an ear-to-ear grin on her face. “Ready?” I nod lightly. She stares intently into the pile of feathers, concentrating. Placing her right hand on the air above the pile, she slowly raised her hand palm down. Surprisingly, a feather followed the wind trail her hand left.
