chapter seven

"Could you stop that?" I hissed quietly at Kol, who was standing behind my uncle, Denzel's' back mocking him as he spoke.

"What did you say, Ororo?"

I blushed, turning away from my mama's glare.

"Nothing!"

When she turned back to Denzel, I glared at Kol. He snickered, shrugging.

"Color me intrigued. Never seen a proper family dinner in ages. Well, without blood being spilled."

I rolled my eyes, watching Finn out to the corner of my eye. He was standing obediently behind Bonnie's chair, watching her interact with her parents and Shelia.

Tonight was the Bennett annual family night. Something I couldn't miss out on. It was reserved for every Thursday night.

"Your parents are staring." Kol comments, snapping me out of my stupor. I met my father's worried gaze.

I shook my head, smiling. "I'm okay, just wondering if Caroline is waiting for me at the Grill."

"Well, dinner is over. You've eaten your dessert; you can go."

"Thanks, Ma." I stood from the table.

"Be careful! Take Bonnie with you." We left quickly, Kol and Finn following behind us silently.

"Hey, Ororo, do you feel like someone's watching you?" Bonnie questioned as I started the car.

"It's because our ancestor threw two Originals on our asses." I was going to be completely honest with Bonnie. There wasn't any reason to lie to her or keep secrets.

"Originals? You mean the vampire family you told me about years ago? Why would they be following us?!" She asked, looking around confused.

"Finn has been following you around your entire life. She recently threw Kol on me. "

"Where are they now?"

"In the backseat, confused as hell." Bonnie turns, staring into the backseat.

"She cannot see us, and I don't think she ever will." Finn sighs, shaking his head.

"Ah, cheer up, brother. At least yours isn't glaring at you." Kol says as he meets my eyes in the mirror.

"Because you're doing stupid shit. You were mocking my dad behind his back; that man is like a spiritual radio for spirits! The closer you are to him, the faster he'll discover you. Then, he'll start asking questions. After that, you'll be sent back to the other side."

Bonnie laughs, "I don't even think Uncle Titus will ask questions. I think he'd banish him just because he's a boy."

She was right, Dad hated boys around me, but that's every girl's dad.

"You're right; that's why I have to keep this moron away from my family at all costs. Qetisyah sent you to watch over me, not wreak havoc in my life, okay? So be a good little spirit, stop fucking with shit, protect me, and maybe I'll find your brother and get your undaggered. How does that sound?"

Kol and Finn exchange looks before nodding.

"It's a deal, little witch."

"Thank you."

We arrived at the Grill, getting tables near the back. Matt waved at us as he was taking someone's order.

"Isn't tonight supposed to be the meeting of creep eyes and Matt? Imagine the awkwardness." Bonnie comments as Vicki Donovan walks over to take our orders.
