Change to Kalliope's POV
I could almost taste her power... It filled my senses until I could think of nothing else. She would pay yes, pay with her blood, her life, her power. She and all the others would pay for what they had done.
"Why don't you just take her?" My young son Stasy asked somewhat impatiently. He still had a lot to learn in the world.
"Waiting just makes it all the sweeter, my dear. She will not get away with it though." Stasy smiled slowly and licked his elongating, elegantly tapered teeth.

Change to Julian's POV
"I didn't do anything..." I whispered in her ear after first kissing the incredibly soft skin behind her ear.
"What?" Bonnie leaned back to arm length and stared intently into my eyes.
I ran the pads of my thumbs over her cheekbones, hating to see the lasting redness there. "I didn't do anything to you after you'd fallen asleep."
She pushed me away and had jumped to her feet before I could kiss her again.
"WHAT? Am I not good enough for you?!"
"Excuse me?" I couldn't believe my ears. First she was upset at the thought I had done something to her, now she was upset the I hadn't. All I could think to do was to blink in a mild stupor.
"All you do is mock me! How could you?" She paced over to the sink and furiously splashed water on her face. I watched with mild concern, worried that she might accidentally hit herself in her somewhat glorious anger. Hell, she had already hit me. There wasn't anyone else left for her to hit but herself now.
Bonnie seemed to have forgotten completely about the sheet wrapped around her wonderful slight figure, and it was slowly, but surely losing it's battle with gravity. I mentally hit myself for thinking of the things she was currently mad at me about.
"Go away Julian! Just get out!" She opened the door and motioned me out with her face still dripping, It slightly took away from the righteous anger affect she was going for.
I inclined my head to her before walking out the door. There was nothing I could think of saying that she would both listen to and believe.
It was time for me to face the elders. And leave her since she odviously didn't want or need me around.

Change to Bonnie's POV
I had strange dreams that night.... Of blood, and Julian crying, a sight that pained me more than anything else I had ever witnessed in what might be classified in my gory life experiences.
Damon was also in my dreams, but it was a different Damon than I was used to. He seemed to have also been crying by the redness around his eyes, but was now calmer. His blood flowed hot and sweet from a single straight gash in the base of his neck, and yet.... He seemed to be slightly happy about it.
With that, I sat up in the darkness of my bedroom. "It was only a dream..." I mumbled to myself, but that didn't comfort me much. Look at what had happened with my dreams before this.
I flopped back resolved to forget about it, and get a decent night's sleep. To show Julian, he had had no effect on any of my normal functions. I was just drifting back to sleep, when I felt the extreme burst of power hit me.
"Julian?" I asked the darkness as I slid into unconciousness.
