Pairing: Jeremy/Katherine
Song for this story: Hurts - Devotion
When all the love has gone away
And passion stares me in the face.
Could I walk away?
Devotion save me now
I don't want to stray from the hallowed ground
I'll turn temptation down.
Here's hoping
you'll help me to resist.
Devotion save me now
I don't wanna stray from the hallowed ground
I'll turn temptation down.
I'm asking you to take me
to safety
this time.
Devotion, devotion..
I'm a slave unto the mercy of your love
For so long, I've been so wrong
I could never live without you.
Chapter 1:
Jeremy:
Jeremy Gilbert opened his eyes to the sound of a door opening and closing. He yawned and sat up, there was a small ray of sun shining on the opposite side of the room and the youngest Gilbert suddenly gasped and panicked instantly. This wasn't his room. There was no way in hell that this was his room. The walls were white and it was far smaller. His room was dark and full of oak furniture. This room was all white.
It took his mind a few moments to churn around all the facts, to finally figure out where he was. A hospital room. Why couldn't he remember why he was here? He turned to the right and saw a bag full of blood, probably for himself he assumed as he groaned and pushed the sheets away, he yelped as a sharp stinging pain shot through him.
There was a needle in his arm and the tube was connected to the blood. Great. I can't even remember what happened, I could've had all my blood drained for all I know. Little did Jeremy know that he had said that out loud, even though he murmured it the door opened and in came Elena.
"Before you say anything, I am not Elena." Jeremy stared at her with wide eyes and she yanked the needle out of his arm without a second thought, Jeremy's instincts kicked in and he screamed in pain and she covered his mouth instantly. Slowly turning the scream into a murmur into her palm. "Be quiet. Don't make a sound."
"Wait a second, if your not Elena..." He stared at her and it clicked. Katherine. Katherine Pierce. His sister's doppelgänger. He nodded and Katherine pulled her hand away and she blurred around to the other side of the bed. Jeremy should've been frightened by her speed but he was excited by it, not afraid at all. She helped him out of the bed and he almost fell over. "What happened to me?" He murmured as she helped him out of the room, Katherine kept looking around, scanning the area to see if anyone was watching. She helped Jeremy outside and she shoved him into a car, away from anyone's view. She climbed in to the driver's seat and smiled sweetly at him.
"I guess I have a thing for the Gilbert men. I just can't seem to get away from them." She smirked and started up the engine, Jeremy raised an eyebrow at her briefly, he always knew deep down that Katherine was always up to something, no matter what she said. Before he knew it the side of his face was smashed against the window, there was a split second of pain before he closed his eyes.
Katherine:
I watched as Baby Gilbert's face blanked and he zoned out completely. God, humans were so willing to give in to anything. I turned up the radio, seeing as he would be out for quite some time. I began to hum along quietly as the sounds of Jeremy's heartbeat was beginning to get on my nerves.
It began to get impossible to drain him out and I stopped the car at a gas station a few hours later. I turned to him in my seat, it was dark now and there was a glow to his face and he looked, er dead? I didn't kill him did I? No, of course I didn't – his heartbeat proved that much, duh. But his face did look waxy and chalky, sort of creepy.
I shook him, just to get him to move out of that tone of lighting. He was now in the dark and I shook him more. "Jeremy! Wake up!" I yelled impatiently. Wow, you would've thought that if you had lived as long as I have that you would've at least learnt some manners.
I gave up with the shaking and I slapped him hard across the face instead. Nope. The only thing it did was leave a read mark across his cheek, I sighed and got a sudden idea. I leant over to a bag on the floor in the back seat and I took out a water bottle.
I unscrewed the cap and I lifted his shirt forwards and I poured some down his front over his chest. Still nothing. Ugh! I poured some down his back and I even poured some over his head, making him soaking wet. The only thing that would do would give him hypothermia. I growled in annoyance and crossed my arms stubbornly. When he woke up he was in for a shock that was for sure.
I turned up the radio and I began to sing along, "When all the love has gone away, and passion stares me in the face. Could I walk away? Here's hoping you'll help me to be brave. Devotion save me now, I don't want to stray from the hallowed ground..." I paused and glanced at Jeremy before licking my lips, "For so long, I've been so wrong, I could never live without you."
That struck something inside of Jeremy. His eyes fluttered open slowly and he yelped and turned to me, I muted the volume instantly and he stared at me with wide, blank eyes. He had heard me singing didn't he? Oh. It wasn't that he was worried about. He was more worried about why he was wet.
"Er, I tried to get you to wake up." I said innocently and I started up the car again. "But I guess my singing did the trick." I didn't realize until now that I had been blushing a deep red, I didn't have feelings for baby Gilbert did I? No, a vampire's most weakest point was their humanity. I would not let it get to me. I would fight the temptation to give in to it. I would turn of all my emotions if I had to. I would not give in to the temptation.
"Well, thanks." He pulled his shirt over his head and threw the soaking shirt into the back of the car, I wouldn't look at him. No. If I did then it would only tempt me even more. He looked at me, "why did you have to use the water? It's everywhere!" I smirked slightly to myself and I took a glance at him, when I made eye contact with him I couldn't look away, it was too strong.
His warm brown eyes were staring back into mine with such honesty that it hurt. I scanned his muscular chest slowly, taking it all in, I watched for a few moments as each muscles tensed whenever he breathed or did something. "Katherine!" He yelled and grabbed the steering wheel, swerving it in a different direction. Shit. That was close.
"I'm s-sorry," since when did Katherine bitch Pierce Stutter? Or even apologize! This drive was going to be hard. It didn't help that I knew he would start to ask questions soon on when we would be arriving and where we were going. I actually had no idea so there was no hope for him if he did ask. He seemed to calm down in the next hour or so and I was thankful for that, at least that meant that his heartbeat has slowed to a more normal rate. The one thing that I concentrated on was keeping my humanity in the back of my mind, rather than let it control me.
