"What do you mean someone used it on Jeremy?" I asked. Who could do something like that? It couldn't have been Bonnie because I doubted that Emily would put such a spell in her grimoire.
"I mean someone turned him into a girl." Anna explained. "I haven't talked to him…or her yet because she's asleep. I don't even know if she's aware of what's happened yet. All I know is there's a girl in Jeremy's bed that looks a lot like Elena, except shorter. I know it's him because she's still wearing the vervain bracelet."
"Well let me know when you do." I replied. "I promised Tyler that I would come to the hospital, so I can't talk right now."
I headed to the hospital and I could notice that Tyler looked pretty upset. I wondered if anyone had told him yet.
"Where did you go?" He asked.
"At first, I went to go get help, but then I heard about something happening downtown and I wanted to make sure that my family was okay." I explained. "I heard about your dad."
"I really don't want to talk about that right now." He stated. He would need to talk about it eventually.
"Well how's Caroline?" I asked.
"She's hurt really bad." He replied. "I don't even know what happened. She was fine and then she just went down."
"It's probably internal bleeding." I remarked. I knew I could save her if I could get to her in time. I would just have to get away.
I walked down the hall and I found Elena was there with Damon and Bonnie.
"We need to do something about Caroline." Bonnie said.
"Do you know any spells?" Elena asked her.
"Of course she doesn't." Damon replied. "It took Emily years to learn a simple healing spell."
"There is another way." I interrupted. "I can heal her with my blood. I just have to get to her."
"Do it." Bonnie declared. Elena looked a little shocked. Maybe she was feeling guilty. "This is Caroline."
"It'll be out of her system in a day." Damon added.
"Okay, I guess we don't have any other options." Elena agreed.
I then took her somewhere alone.
"Before I do this, we need to talk about what happened earlier." I stated.
"What happened earlier?" She replied. "The car crash?"
"No, the thing at your house." I stated. Was she denying it already?
"Oh John, did you see who attacked him?" She questioned. What?
"What are you talking about?" I replied. At that point, Jenna showed up and Elena didn't seem to remember talking to her. Had she been compelled somehow? I realized that time was running out and I needed to act, so I went to find Caroline.
Fortunately, none of the doctors were on vervain, so I was able to compel my way into the operating room. Once there, I took a syringe and filled it with my blood before I put it into Caroline's arm. I noticed her breathing started to steady.
I knew that I needed to talk to Jeremy as soon as I got there. She was probably so confused. I wondered if Elena had written about a specific part of me in her diary. I really hoped that she didn't considering that was my post personal secret and I didn't like to tell anyone unless I had to or knew them very well. I had to admit I was even a little upset that she told Bonnie.
After that, we went to the Gilbert house. This was the part where I would have to tell Elena. However, as soon as we got there, I noticed Stefan was on the floor and Rachel was pinned to the wall.
"What happened?" Elena asked.
"Katherine happened." Damon declared. So, it was Katherine that kissed me? Ew. I felt like I needed to wash my mouth out with some kind of liquor, very hard liquor. I then removed the pole from Rachel's arm. After a few minutes, we were able to regroup. "Did she say what she wanted?"
"No. She said that she fooled one of us. What did she mean?" Stefan asked Damon.
"Don't look at me." The older brother responded.
"She kissed me." I explained.
"Wait, she kissed you?" Damon asked. "Why would she kiss you? What would that accomplish?"
"I'm gonna tell Jeremy." Elena declared before she headed upstairs.
"Elena, wait." I remarked before I followed after her.
She went upstairs and opened the door. She looked at the girl in the bed in confusion. It was then that I was able to first get a look at her. Anna was right. She did look a lot like Elena. She was wearing a dress with a solid black bodice and a black pleated skirt with pink roses on it and black knee socks.
"What?" Elena asked. That was loud enough to get her to wake up. She sat up and looked at us. She looked confused.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" She asked. She then cleared her throat. "What is wrong with my voice?"
At that point, she looked down and did what I thought was the most appropriate reaction. She screamed.
Unfortunately, that scream got everyone else to come into the room. Jeremy's room really didn't have space for that many people, so we had to head downstairs. I could tell it was going to be a very interesting conversation.
"Why am I girl?" Jeremy asked.
"A spell." I answered. "It's the same spell that was cast on me 46 years ago. Yes, I was born Brandon Salvatore. Rachel was actually the one that cast the spell on me. As for why, I don't know who cast it, but I have a suspicion that Katherine was the one who ordered it."
I didn't know why Katherine wanted to turn Jeremy into a girl, but she was the only one who would do it. Also, we didn't know any other witches and according to Isobel, Katherine did.
"Who's Katherine?" She asked.
"Katherine is the vampire who turned Damon and I." Stefan explained. "Most of what happened can be linked back to her. The tomb was created because of her lack of control and we opened it because we thought she was inside of it."
"She also looks just like me." Elena added. "I'm sorry that you got dragged into this."
"Is there any way to reverse it?" Jeremy asked.
"I used to know the spell to reverse it, but I don't anymore." Rachel explained. "It took me a while to learn the original spell and I don't think we should prioritize it with Katherine in town. First I want you to tell me your name."
"Why?" The young brunette asked.
"Because when I cast the spell on Brandy, she couldn't say her real name." Rachel remarked.
"My name is…Jamie." She said. "Jer…Jamie. I can't say it."
"I thought so." Rachel remarked.
At that point, Jenna walked into the house.
"Hey, Jamie, how was the nap?" She asked the younger Gilbert. "Did Anna leave?"
"It was fine and I guess she did." Jamie remarked before Jenna went upstairs. I was surprised that she didn't ask why everyone was in the living room.
"Okay, that wasn't something that I did before." Rachel said before I looked at the picture on the wall. It was different from before. "It seems like the which magically erased your old life and replaced it with this one. That will be hard to undo."
I still didn't get the reason for it, but I knew I probably wouldn't get the answer unless I talked to Katherine and she probably wouldn't just tell me. Real villains don't just tell you their plans like they're in a James Bond movie. On a side note, I still can't believe they gave him blonde hair in the new movies. Maybe James Bond was a code name that came with 007 and they weren't all the same guy.
"You know what, I think I'll stay over tonight." I remarked. Elena looked a little surprised by that. "I'm the only one who truly understands what you're going through. Elena or Anna could teach you how to be a girl, but both of them were born that way."
"Does Anna even know about this?" Jamie asked. It seemed like she was hoping that she did not.
"She's the one who told me about this." I explained. Where was she anyway?
At the time, I decided to call Anna to see where she was.
"Where are you?" She answered.
"I'm at the Gilbert house. Where are you?" I countered.
"I'm at your house." She replied. "I think Katherine might be back."
"She is back." I explained. "We've seen her. Of course, I thought she was Elena. I probably should have questioned why Elena would want to make out with me."
"I'm going to have fun the next time I see you." She remarked. I was pretty sure she was grinning from the other side of the phone.
"And I'm hanging up now." I responded before I did so. I then looked around the room. "So, I guess everyone else but Elena can leave now."
I took Jamie up to her room. I noticed a few things about it had also changed. I didn't have the best knowledge since I had only been in there once before, but there was a larger dresser with a vanity and there was also a stuffed Charmander on floor.
"It's cute, but I'm more of a Venomoth girl." I explained before I gave it to her.
"You like Venomoth? How can you like Venomoth? No one likes Venomoth." She remarked.
"Well now you've met someone who does." I declared.
"So, what was the biggest issue that you ran into after this happened to you?" She asked.
"My height was the hardest thing to get used to." I explained. "Of course, I was turned into a vampire pretty much immediately. The first thing that I did was run into Damon."
"Why did Damon turn you?' She questioned.
"It was something my favorite did. I never actually find out what. All I know is that Damon killed him." I explained. "Now let's see if you have any girl movies."
She laughed a little before she noticed the grin on my face.
"You are kidding, right?" She asked.
"Nope." I replied.
The next morning, I found out that there was going to be a wake for the mayor. It was amazing that they managed to get it together so quickly. I couldn't help but wonder what they were going to tell the Virginia Gazette. I imagined it would be a pretty big story. I wondered what the council was going to say his cause of death was. Maybe he died trying to save the vampires in the building. Of course, they would have to forge some medical reports that hid the broken neck.
However, I first decided that I was going to see Caroline. I didn't stay around long enough to actually watch her wake up. It should have worked. Vampire blood cured pretty much everything except for cancer…and addiction and it didn't seem to get rid of tattoos. Matt and Bonnie were in the waiting room. It seemed like the witch had just got there as well.
"Hey Matt, how's Caroline?" The witch asked him. I wondered if we should tell her about Jamie. We probably should because she would the only one who could possibly change her back.
"See for yourself." Matt said before he took us to her room where the blonde was sitting up in her hospital gown in her bed.
"Jersey Shore's on." She declared. At that point, Bonnie and Matt went to hug her. "Oh why are you guys being so mushy?"
"We're just glad that you're alright." Bonnie declared. I did wonder how Caroline was the only one to get hurt. Maybe Matt landed on his already broken arm or something.
After the hospital, I went home to find an outfit for the wake. I didn't have a lot of time because I was going to help Jamie find an outfit as well.
Once I got there, I saw Rachel was there and she was wearing a blue camisole and red jeans with black arm warmers.
"How's Caroline?" She asked.
"She's fine. I don't have a lot of time to talk. Are you coming to the mayor's wake?" I asked.
"No, I don't care about that guy." She remarked. "Though, I do appreciate the irony of his death since it was his and John's plan."
"His family didn't deserve it, though." I stated before I went to my room.
I came downstairs wearing a sleeveless black lace dress with tights and matching heels and headband. It may have been more suited for a funeral, but it was what I was wearing. I then headed to the Gilbert house. Jamie was still wearing her pajamas.
"Do you see anything that you like?" I asked.
"I'm not sure what to do and I have no clue when it comes to makeup." She explained as I started to look through her closet. All of her clothes had been changed along with her body.
"Well you're going to need to get used to this." I explained. "You're going to be a girl for an extended period of time. Not to mention, if you're ever turned into a vampire, this will be permanent."
"If you could go back, would you?" She asked.
"Not anymore." I answered. "I'd be in a foreign body once again. I am happy as a woman. Now let's get you ready."
About fifteen minutes later, she was a faded black pleated sweater dress with red lipstick and black suede boots.
"Pretty soon you'll learn that being a girl isn't as bad as you think." I remarked. Though, there was one part of being a girl that I never experienced that I was sure she was going to hate. I then noticed something and got an idea. Apparently, the paramedics didn't take it with. "Put this on."
From there, the two of us went to Lockwood mansion with Jenna.
"Why do we have to be here?" Jamie asked.
"The Lockwoods were here for us when we were going through all of this." Jenna stated. "We don't have to stay long. We'll just pay our respects and leave."
Mrs. Lockwood invited us in and I knew that I needed to go see Tyler. I found him up in his dad's study. At least that was what I assumed it was. He had a flask in his hand.
"Are you okay?" I asked him. I then realized what I said. "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked that."
"I'm not okay. I don't want to sit around and listen to all of these people talk about how good of a person he was. He wasn't a good person. I hated him."
"Well I'm not going to say that he was. He actually seemed like kind of a jerk if you ask me." I remarked.
"Do you want some of this?" He asked as he held out the flask. I went over and grabbed it and he kissed me. He put his lips on mine and tried to force his tongue into my mouth.
"Tyler, not now." I declared. I didn't want that to happen while he wasn't sober. I pushed him away.
"Do you have somewhere else you need to be?" An older guy interrupted. He had a strong presence to him.
"It's not what it looks like." I replied. I didn't know who the guy was. I went over to him and held out my hand. "I'm Brandy, a few friend of Tyler's."
"Mason, Richard was my brother." He explained.
"Well, I'm gonna go now." I stated before I left the room and went outside.
I was a bit surprised that Tyler had an uncle. He hadn't ever mentioned him before. Of course, we had never really talked about family stuff. We hadn't really ever talked about anything to be honest. I realized that I should probably get back to Jamie because she was probably uncomfortable. Another thing I couldn't help but wonder was if her relationship with Anna was going to continue. I didn't know if she would feel attraction to men like I did. I still was attracted to women just not as much. I didn't exactly reject the kiss from Katherine and I did have sex with Anna.
I started to look for Jamie and that was I noticed someone was outside. I used my enhanced vision to see that Stefan was talking to Katherine. I knew I needed to get over there even though there was probably nothing that I could do against Katherine.
"What are you two talking about?" I questioned. "More importantly, why are you two talking?"
"What's wrong, Brandy? Do you want to kiss me again?" Katherine asked.
"I only kissed you because I thought you were Elena." I remarked before I blushed. "And you kissed me."
"Ooh Stefan, looks like your little cousin has a thing for your girl." Katherine teased.
"Katherine, it's never going to happen." Stefan declared. "I hate you."
"You hate me?" Katherine repeated as she grabbed a pole and jammed it into Stefan. "That sounds more like the beginning of a love story, not the end of one."
I tried to fight her but she effortlessly threw me to the ground.
That night, I went to see Jamie. I knew I needed to apologize to her for leaving her alone at the wake. However, as soon as I got inside.
"Damon, I love Stefan." She said. "It's always going to be Stefan."
"No." Damon replied.
"What's going on?" Jamie asked. At that point, Damon did something completely unpredictable. He went over to Jamie and broke her neck. I gasped and Elena did as well before Damon ran off. It was then that I remembered something. I ran over as Elena cried.
"Elena, her hand." I remarked as showed her the ring. I decided to wait with her.
It was about an hour before Jamie woke up gasping for air. I wasn't sure how resurrection would affect the spell. I hoped it wouldn't trigger a loophole that made it permanent.
"Did Damon just kill me?" She asked.
I headed home. I saw that Damon looked visibly upset. I needed to tell him.
"I have good news." I remarked. "Jamie was wearing John's ring. I gave it to her before the wake, but that doesn't excuse what you did and it doesn't mean Elena is going to hate you any less."
I then went upstairs to Anna.
"Did you say that Damon killed Jamie and she was then brought back?" Anna asked.
"Anna, please don't do anything to him." I begged. "I just want to move past this, even though I think it will take a while."
"Well I got you something." She said as she handed me a box. There was a blonde woman on the front of it. "I figured you could use a change. You know what they say. Blondes have more fun."
Once the dye was set in, I laid down in my bed and went to sleep.
Welcome to Changed. For starters, yes it did make it permanent. Also Brandy and Tyler kissed but it didn't go right. Jamie is played Alexandra Chando. Yes, I know she's older but so was Steven. Please don't forget to review.
