Disclaimer: I do not own TVD, the people that do are lucky SOBs. Please review! Criticism is welcome, as long as it's constructive! This is my first TVD fic and it's also my first fic with more than one chapter to it! Chapter two will be up soon!
Jeremy could never figure out how his sister was related to her, let alone, how they looked exactly alike. They were complete opposites! That was then, now, he wasn't so sure.
Katherine could never figure out how they were related. He was nice, just like Elena, and it sickened her. That's what she hated about humans like them, they put the safety of their loved ones before their own. She would never do something like that, unless it benefited her, of course. Then, they got stuck in Mikael's tomb together and she found out that nothing is quite what it seems.
10 am- Gilbert Household
Jeremy's cell goes off- he looks down to see who it is, it's from her. She wants to meet face-to-face, or as he calls it, face-to-fangs. He replies, "If I must."
3 pm- Katherine's House
Jeremy gets out of his car and says, "What do you want?" She replies, "I need your help with finding Mikael." Jeremy snaps back, " Why should I?" "I'll make it worth your while!", Katherine replies with a devilish smirk. Jeremy's has no idea how to respond to that comment and then Anna appears and tells him what they need to find Mikael. They get into his car and make a plan. In the car, they sit in silence.
They reach Mikael's tomb, get out of the car, unload everything, head to the tomb's entrance, and walk inside. After entering, Jeremy's foot lands on a booby trap and wooden stakes come shooting out from the walls. Katherine yells at Jeremy, "Watch where you're going!" Jeremy yells back, "You should have known that there might be traps... just be careful!", yells Jeremy. She yells back, "I thought you hated me, to which, he replies, "I do."
They continue to walk, then, Katherine slips and her hand hits something on the wall. The wall starts to collapse in on them and they scream in horror. The dust clears and Jeremy stirs awake and stands up to find Katherine. He finds her and tries to wake her, but she doesn't move. He pulls the rubble off of her body and picks her up. While in his arms, she wakes up and sees that he's carrying her. She tells him to put her down and he ignores her. She lets him continue to carry her.
They see that they're stuck between the entrance and the tomb, and sit down to talk about what to do. Jeremy says, "I'm going to clear the rubble that's blocking the entrance, while you sit and rest." Katherine replies, "I'm going to help." He decides to let her help, for now, but he tells himself to keep an eye on her.
2 Hours Later
They're half way through clearing the rubble and decide to take a rest. While resting, he asks her why she's mean and evil. She replies, "What's it to you?" He says, "Just curious." She tells him all about her past, both human and vampire. While she's talking, he makes small comments, but mostly listens. She asks him, "Now it's your turn." He tells her of how his parents died, of his relationships with Vicki, Anna, and Bonnie, and how Vicki's and Anna's ghosts returning has affected him. She makes small comments, but mostly listens.
They sit next to each other in silence, thinking about what the other told them. Katherine speaks, "I have to tell you something that you may not like." Jeremy replies, "Whatever it is, just tell me." She smiles a bit and then replies, "You and I are related." At first, he's confused, then he tells her to explain. She replies, "We're both related to Elena." He asks, "Does Elena know?" She answers, "No, and I don't plan on telling her, just yet." He says nothing in reply to her answer.
They smile at one another and then decide to get back to work. Once the entrance is cleared, they move onto the rubble that's blocking Mikael's tomb.
3 Hours Later
They're finish clearing the rubble that was in front of Mikael's tomb, walk forward, find the tomb and try to open it. They get it open and see that he's lying there, looking as if he were dead. After many tries to wake him and no response, they decide to leave and try again the next day, as it's getting late.
The car ride back to Mystic Falls is nothing like the one before. They listen to music, joke around and generally have a good time. They arrive at her house, he turns off the car's engine. He asks her to open her window and gets out of the car. She does as he asked her and he says, "If you ever need to talk to someone, you can always come to me." She replies, "I know I haven't been the nicest to you, but I want that to change." He smiles back at her and opens her door. She gets out and plants a little kiss on his cheek, as a thank you. He smiles and shakes his head, as if he's not surprised by the kiss at all.
He gets back into his car and drives back to his house where he thinks about everything that happened that day.
