Ok, so I decided to write this after watching the newest episode. Jeremy/Anna is my favourite couple right now, basically an alternate scene if Jenna never came back home when Jeremy cut his hand in front of Anna.
His blood was so mouth watering, she couldn't help herself. Just watching him looking at her, all innocently as she stood back from him, her eyes plastered on his bleeding hand, made her squirm a bit. Her eyes traveled back to Jeremy's face, who was smiling a bit as he held his hand out toward her.
"It's just blood Anna," he said, that stupid smile still plastered on his face. He took one step toward her again, so they were closer to each other, and all hell broke loose. She gave up the fight as she grabbed his neck and pushed him into the fridge on the other side of the room. She felt her fangs portrude out of her mouth as she felt her face change into her other form, the one she never wanted Jeremy to see. He let out a little surprised gasp as she breathed heavily.
"What are you doing?" she asked him, almost angrily.
"I knew it," he breathed out as he took a look at his hand and then at her again. And then, even softer, "Go for it."
She knew what he wanted her to do, and thought she had questions, especially about how he knew and why he risked this, she took a look at his hand, the dark red liquid dripping. It was so mouth watering, and honestly, she always wondered what Jeremy's blood tasted like. She tasted so much blood in her life, a lot bitter, some sweet, but none ever just right for her. She wondered about his a lot, but she never risked it before now. Her head turned frantically to Jeremy's awaiting, curious face, and his bleeding hand. He held that questioning smile as she finally looked at his hand, the control finally gone from her. Without another second, her head ducked down as she used her fangs to suck the blood off of Jeremy's hand. She sucked away every last drop, and then dove into his hand for more. She heard the painful gasp emitting from Jeremy's throat but she continued to drink his blood. Oh, it was so tender, so moist, so...nice. It wasn't perfect, but it was the best blood she had ever tasted before, and it was definately better than that forty year old man's blood in 1972. Her eyes took a quick peek at Jeremy. His head was against the fridge, his eyes in pain, but he looked satisfied. Her eyes shut closed again as she gripped his hand harder, feeling his blood drain, but it wasn't enough.
Once she sucked as much as she could from his hand, her head snapped up; she wanted more. A lot more, actually. She really couldn't help herself as she looked up to Jeremy, who noticed the look in her eyes.
"Go on, turn me," he begged. Anna's eyes filled with confusion but she could still smell Jeremy's blood. She didn't want to, but she was out of control now; she needed his blood. Not questioning his statement about wanting to be turned, she went for it. Her fangs sunk into his neck as she just started drinking. A gasp was let out by him but she held him tight as she felt his blood run down her throat, some escaping onto her lips. But just like that, she stopped, her head snapping up as she realized what she was doing. She was killing Jeremy Gilbert. The guy that she genuinely liked, maybe even loved. That would be a first; she never cared for anyone like she did for Jeremy. It was different with her mother, who was just her vampire mother, her real mother dying way back in the early 1800's. With Jeremy, it felt like- love, teenage love perhaps, but as a vampire and human, Anna never fell in love with anyone before. So, it was weird to her. Usually, she wouldn't think twice before killing somebody, but now- it was all different.
Her eyes looked up to Jeremy's face, as he tried to gain his breath back. Anna swallowed deeply; the blood still lingered on her lips. She started moving backwards before Jeremy reached out his uninjured hand, grabbing her own arm. His eyes looked pleading.
"Anna, please don't go," he begged. She wanted to go, so she wouldn't risk killing him, but something made her stay; maybe it was because she wanted answers. So she nodded slowly, but quickly zoomed to the other side of the room.
"Why did you do that? How did you know?" she asked softly. Jeremy sighed deeply, glancing down at his hand before back up at her.
"I needed to know the truth. I had my suspicions from my friend, Vicki, who was acting crazy a few weeks after an animal attack, a bite on her neck. After I met you and you showed me those articles about vampires, I guess it kind of-clicked into place, but I wasn't sure. Then, your face changed at the dance and after I kissed you," he explained. It all felt like a dream to her as she slowly stepped forward. He stayed back against the fridge, his hand subconsciously holding his bleeding neck.
"You know you can't tell anyone, right? I could be killed if anyone knew," she told him. Jeremy nodded, a smile tugging at his lips.
"I know, not that anyone could believe me anyways," he said. There was a pause, and then he looked at her. "Why did you stop? Why didn't you kill me?" he asked. This question made her freeze. What was she supposed to say to that? She didn't even know the answer. So, she shrugged.
"I don't know. Maybe it's because- you're the first one that's made me feel human in a long time. You're my friend, and I- I think I like you, stupid goddamn feelings," she said, muttering the last part under her breath. Jeremy couldn't help but smile at the last part. He stepped closer toward her, and when she didn't move, he stepped toward her again and again until he reached her. He took his hand and lifted up her head so she was looking at her. She swallowed deeply, making sure she was under control.
"Well, the good news is that I like you too," he said. Anna couldn't help but smile at this and before she knew it, her lips were on Jeremy's. She wasn't biting him though; she was letting her lips, and not her fangs, do the talking and he definately was not complaining. The kiss was as sweet as him, but as she lost some control, the kiss got more passionate. Anna felt her arms wrap around Jeremy's neck as he pulled her closer in. And for the first time, she wasn't thinking about the blood spilling onto the floor; she was thinking about Jeremy's lips on hers and how good it felt to kiss a human. Oh, her mother was going to stab her when she got home.
This continued for many minutes, both trying to gain control of the kiss before Anna finally broke apart from him, her eyes confused, her mind darting back to what he said earlier.
"Jer, what did you mean before? When you asked me to turn you?" she asked curiously. Jeremy suddenly looked nervous, his gaze shifting a bit before landing back on her. His eyes filled with mischief and wonder as he bit his lip. And she knew what he wanted, she knew he really meant it but didn't know what to say or do. Finally, it was him that spoke.
"I want you to turn me," he said simply. Anna gaped, her eyes blinking before frowning.
"What? Why?" she asked. She was definately confused on why he would want to become such a.... such a monster! Sometimes, she thought about becoming human again, even though it was impossible. So, why would be want to become a vampire, even when he has a loving sister, loving aunts and friends? He had everything going for him, didn't he? Jeremy just stood there, thinking about it before he spoke.
"Because... because I want it. I can't explain it Anna, but it feels right," he admitted. She shook her hair, pushing him away.
"No, you don't. You can't possibly know what you want. You don't know anything about what a vampire is. It's more complicated than you think. I can't turn you- I won't. It's not something anyone truly wants," Anna told him sternly.
"I think I know what I want. You don't understand Anna. I don't have anything left. Vicki's gone, Jenna has Mr. Saltzman, Elena has Stefan, I have no more friends, and I feel so alone and powerless! People keep telling me what to do, and how to think and act, and to be honest, I'm sick of it! I need to feel that I can make a choice on my own without people bugging me about it. I need to have a purpose in life; I need to become a vampire," Jeremy explained. He rubbed his hand through his hair angrily as he paced across the room. She actually started to feel sorry for him. He looked genuinely lonely and he probably did lose all of his friends after he started becoming a good guy. Oh yes, she knew all about Vicki; she was around that time after all, but she didn't know the whole story. All she knew was that Vicki was Jeremy's girlfriend who got turned into a vampire and helped killed Logan Felt (who she graciously let him have a second chance at life, which he totally blew) and then she disappeared, never to be heard of again (most likely got killed by Damon or somebody). She sighed as she stepped forward and grabbed his arm. He faced her, looking at her with those sad eyes.
"You just want answers Jer; you want to know how Vicki feels as a vampire. You still care about her, don't you?" she asked. Jeremy thought about this answer before nodding.
"Yeah, I do. I mean, I don't love her anymore, but she was my friend long before everything. I just want to know, I want to feel like I'm apart of something again," he said, his shoulders slouching. He looked so defeated, so alone, so Anna grabbed his arm and sped them both up to his room.
"Ok, so you're not going to become a vampire until you know everything about them, and I mean everything. Once I tell you about vampires, I'll let you make the choice in the end, but you can't decide until you know what we're like," Anna warned him. Jeremy took a deep breath before nodding. Anna smiled a bit before she opened her mouth the speak. However, the opening of the front door startled her, and she turned to the noise.
"Jer, I'm home!" Jenna's voice carried up. Jeremy jumped off the bed, wincing as he felt a little dizzy before quickly shutting his door.
"Hi!" he called down again before turning back to Anna, who smiled sadly.
"I should go Jer. I'll stop by tomorrow and explain later. You should clean the blood up," Anna told him. Jeremy looked confused, before his hand flew back up to his wound on his neck, and also looked at the wound on his hand. Suddenly, Jenna's voice called up to him again.
"Jeremy, is this blood on the ground? Are you ok?" she shouted. Jeremy turned quickly toward the door.
"I'll be down in a second!" he called before turning back to Anna, but she was gone; the window opened all the way, a light breeze blowing in.
Ok, it started out a oneshot but apparently might be a multichaptered story. It's not going to be long; hopefully, five chapters at best, but I suck at updating but I'm going to try so very hard as a last attempt to finish a story. If you like this, please review. I love reviews! And it's going to be different; this will be Jeremy's choice in becoming a vampire, and his reactions to finding out the truth about Vicki, which will eventually come into the light. And the last chapter will be his choice of becoming a vampire or not; if his mind has changed or not. Thanks guys!
