I'm slowly working on the next chapter to my Anna/Jeremy story. I've had writer's block, but tonight's episode has made me want to write again. The ending was so shocking I had to write something.
Elena entered the kitchen slowly, unsure of what to find. "Aunt Jenna?" she called out hesitantly. Entering the kitchen finally, she froze, completely dumbfounded to find blood everywhere with John Gilbert on the floor, clearly dead. Her eyes widened as she rushed to him, crying out.
"Uncle John!" she cried out painfully, not feeling right to call him Dad quite yet. Checking his pulse, she found none and her eyes welled up with tears. She looked down to see part of his hand chopped off, the ring gone. Elena knew somebody killed him, but she decided not to focus on the who yet as she heard footsteps thunder down the stairs and Jenna appeared. Her face was full of shock and she covered her mouth.
"Oh my god," was all she could say, her own eyes welling up with tears. Elena turned to her aunt, her eyes in pain.
"Call 911," she said hoarsely as Jenna did just that, even though it was too late to save him. So much had happened that night. Caroline was on the brink of death, the Mayor was dead, Bonnie helped kill the vampires, and almost killed Damon and Stefan in the process, her brother hated her guts, her uncle was now her dad (dead dad) and her head was spinning from all of this confusion. She sat beside her dad until her aunt came back in the room.
"They're on their way. Elena, go wake up Jeremy. I- I don't think I can, I don't think I have the heart to tell him," Jenna told her gravely. Her hands were shaking and Elena nodded as she stood up, moving toward the banister. She took another look at her aunt, who was breathing deeply and looking away from the body, squeezing her eyes tight. Elena sighed as she moved up the stairs, holding back tears. She hated John a lot, but she never wanted this for him, and especially with everything that happened, it was too much.
She entered Jeremy's room quietly to find him asleep. She almost didn't have the heart to wake him, but she had to. She sat beside him as she gently shook him.
"Jer, wake up. I know you hate me and all, but I need you to wake up. Please," Elena begged, but her brother (she refused to call him anything but that) wouldn't move, or budge. He stayed completely still, and it was freaking Elena out. She shook him harder.
"Please Jer, I know you're angry at me, but there's been an accident with Uncle John. This isn't time for games! Please!" Elena cried out. But still, he didn't wake. A wave of panic rushed through Elena as she hurriedly checked his pulse, the worst feeling coming over her. When she found none, her hand flew up to her mouth as she stumbled off of his bed. She turned wildly to see the bottle of pills- her bottle of pills on the bathroom counter, completely gone, and she knew they were half full when she checked last week. No way, she thought as she turned back to Jeremy, tears pooling in her eyes. He couldn't be dead; he couldn't have killed himself over all of this.
"No, oh god no! Aunt Jenna! Oh god, Aunt Jenna!" Elena cried hysterically, moving back toward the bed, trying desperately to revive Jeremy with no luck as her aunt rushed up, noticing Elena's tear stained cheeks. "He's dead," she sobbed as Jenna looked absolutely pale. The two women sat on the floor, holding each other as sirens were heard in the distance.
Katherine Pierce watched from afar, a smile appearing on her delicate face. "All in good time, Elena, we will meet. All in good time," she murmured softly before whisking away quietly.
This is only the first chapter. Obviously, there will be more! Hopefully, I finish this story. If not, then just remember this is my interpretation. Elena doesn't know that Jeremy took Anna's blood before he took the pills (which I presume he took but we'll find out next season) nor does she know about Anna's death, just the Mayors. Next chapter will be of Stefan and Damon talking, them showing up at Elena's house, some news on Caroline (which won't be happy) and just some more Katherine teasing.
