Bonnie stared upset at Caroline, when a shadow came over them.
“Can I join you, girls?” Keith asked. Caroline looked up and recognized him. “This is kind of private” she said sharp.
Keith raised his hands. “Hey, if this is about bloodsuckers and moonwalkers and wicked witches, I know all about it” he said with a wink.
Caroline quickly turned to Bonnie. “You told him?”
“He already knew” Bonnie sighed.
Caroline looked back at Keith. “Well, it’s not about that, but it’s still private”
“No, Caroline, it’s okay. Keith’s the only friend I have in here” Bonnie said. “He can know” She sniffed and dried her eyes. Then she lifted up her chin. “Our best friend is sick. She has blood cancer”
Keith gasped and covered his mouth. “I’m so sorry” he said shocked. “That’s terrible. Seriously, if there’s anything I can do…”
“Yeah, not to be rude or anything” Caroline said. “But I don’t think you’ll be of much help, being locked up and all”
“Why can’t you give her some of your blood?” Keith suggested. “Vampire blood heals”
Caroline shook her head. “It doesn’t work that way. Vampire blood heals cuts and injuries, but no diseases”
“Well, you’re a witch!” Keith exclaimed. Bonnie looked around scared to see if anyone had caught the last word. “I’m sorry” he lowered his voice. “You’re a witch, can’t you do some juju on her?”
Bonnie heavily shook her head. “No” she said. “No, I told you, they’ve cut me off. I’m powerless”
“So, we’re just going to mope here?” Keith asked.
“Wait” Bonnie said. “I’m not powerless. At least not completely” She looked up at Caroline. “You have a pen and paper?”
Caroline searched through her handbag and gave Bonnie what she asked for. Bonnie quickly scribbled something down and gave the notebook back to Caroline.
“You want me to go get some herbs?” Caroline asked frowning.
“Yes, and when you have them come straight back to me” Bonnie said sharp.
“Okay” Caroline said and she dashed away.
