I went up the kitchen where the crash came from. I saw John was on the floor with a knife in him. His ring and the finger it used to be on, along with all of the other fingers from his hand, were on the counter. I gasped as I took out my phone. I may not have liked him but that didn't mean that I wanted him to die.
"911, what's your emergency?" The operator asked.
"Hello I need an ambulance to 2104 Maple Street." I told the operator. I then noticed that John was telling me that there was someone behind me. I looked behind me and they were already gone and they rushed out the door.
"What's going on?" Anna asked as she came downstairs. I saw immediately saw the veins forming under her eyes as she smelled the blood.
"Anna, no." I responded as I held her. I texted Stefan to come over. "Did you not hear what happened?"
"I was sleeping." She responded. I would think that a vampire would be a light sleeper. Also it was pretty early for her to be sleeping, though I slept a lot after my parents died and before I started hooking up with Tyler regularly.
Stefan didn't take long to arrive. I let him in the house while Anna was telling Elena what I thought had happened. The ambulance had also just arrived.
"What happened?" He questioned.
"One of the tomb vampires must have escaped and attacked John." I explained. "I didn't see who it was."
"Are you sure Anna didn't do it?" He asked. Why did he think the worst of her?
"She was upstairs sleeping when it happened." I explained before she came downstairs. "Look I need to get to the hospital to see Caroline and I'm taking Anna with me in case she needs some blood. Can you stay and watch Elena for me?"
"Okay." He agreed before I gave him a kiss. Anna came down and then she drove Elena's car to the hospital. I wasn't entirely sure where her car was, but it did make sense that she couldn't park it in the driveway.
When I got to the hospital, I noticed that Bonnie was there looking distraught. I had a feeling that it meant that Caroline's condition was not very good.
"Bonnie, there has to be some sort of spell you can do." I replied.
"There is but she can't do it." Damon interrupted. "It took Emily years to learn a simple healing spell. Fortunately we do have other options."
"There's no way that I'm letting you give her your blood." Bonnie stated.
"Bonnie, we are doing this." I declared authoritatively. "If Caroline doesn't get any blood, she's going to die. Now either Damon's doing it or Anna's doing it."
"Fine, let her do it." Bonnie relented. "At least she never tried to kill me."
Anna walked off and Bonnie headed to the restroom, leaving me with Damon. I couldn't help but where Matt was.
"So something strange happened tonight." Damon told me. I looked at him in confusion "Elena kind of kissed me."
"No, there's no way that Elena kissed you." I declared. "I'm sorry but you had to be imagining it."
At that point, Jenna came over to us.
"I got over here as soon as I could." She declared. "How is he?"
"He's in surgery. Where were you?" I asked her.
"I was talking to the fire department." She replied. "I told Elena to tell you."
"Elena didn't know where you were though." I responded. Something weird was going on.
Anna then came back and the three of us went back to my house. When we got there, we noticed that Stefan appeared to have been thrown to the flown. Had the tomb vampire come back?
"What happened?" I questioned.
"Katherine happened." Damon responded. Fuck, what she was doing here?
"She said that she fooled one of us." Stefan replied. Did she think it was a good idea to be there while Elena was upstairs? "What does that mean?"
"She kissed me." Damon responded. "I thought she was Elena."
"WHAT?" Anna asked angrily. She looked like she wanted to rip his head off. I grabbed onto her and held her back with all of my might. It probably wouldn't last for long. I had to stop her.
"Anna, he kissed Katherine." I told her. "Elena wouldn't do that. She would never cheat on you. Speaking of Elena, we need to tell her about this immediately. I think you should go upstairs and do that."
Anna disappeared up the stairs, leaving me with the two of them.
"So what are we going to do now that Katherine is here?" I questioned. This was a very big problem since she turned both of them."
"Nothing." Damon answered. "If Katherine wanted you dead, you would be dead and there would be nothing that you could do about it, but obviously, no one, not even John is dead, so she obviously has other plans. I say we ignore her and draw her out."
"Then what do we do?" I inquired.
"Well we can stake her, rip her head off, burn her alive." Damon listed.
At that point, Anna came downstairs with tears in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" I asked before hugging her.
"Elena broke up with me." She explained. "She was really upset at me for not telling her about Katherine as soon as she found out I was a vampire."
I actually wasn't sure if that was fair to be honest.
"So John's obviously not going to be here tonight." I explained. "Do you wanna stay over again?"
"Yes, and if you want to kill Katherine, I want to help. I lost my mother because of her." She answered.
"Well right now, it would be best to find out what she wants." I pointed out. "Maybe I can talk to John about this. The doctors said that he was likely going to live."
In the morning, I decided to do just that with Stefan by my side. I wore a grey tank top over a pink long-sleeved tee and a leather jacket with jeans and brown boots with my hair in a ponytail. Though, there was one person that I wanted to see first. I found Matt and he was able to take me to Caroline's room.
"Jersey Shore's on." She declared with a smile. I didn't understand how someone could watch that show, but if she was okay, I was fine with it. I decided to go and give her a hug. "Oh, why are you being so mushy?"
"I'm just glad that you're okay." I told her. From there, I made my way to John's room. I had every right to see him since he was my father. He was asleep. We walked into his room. "John?"
He woke up and then he freaked out at the sight of Stefan, possibly thinking that we were here to kill him. Stefan grabbed the remote from him and laid him back. Did he really think I would do that?
"Maybe you shouldn't be such a tough guy right now." The vampire told him.
"We want to talk to you about Katherine." I explained. "I was hoping that you could tell us what she wants."
"It might make it easier to protect you." Stefan added.
"Why should I tell you?" John questioned.
"If not me, then tell your daughter." Stefan instructed.
"My daughter should have driven a stake through your heart a long time ago." John replied. "Last night was the first time that I ever spoke to Katherine directly. So you can either kill me or you can get out."
"Okay, then fuck you." I told him as I exited the room. Stefan stayed behind for some reason. I met him outside. "What took so long?"
"I had a nice civil conversation with your father." He responded.
"You threatened him, didn't you?" I asked bluntly.
"I might have a little." He replied with a smile.
"Well good. I want him gone. I want him out of my life so I can ask Jenna if Anna can move in with us." I told him. "I know I shouldn't feel that way, but I do."
"Do you wanna go somewhere with me?" He asked with an open heart. It did sound like a nice idea.
"I can't. I'm going to Mayor Lockwood's wake with Elena and Jenna, and I'm going to forcibly drag Anna out if I have to." I answered.
"You know she's stronger than you." He quipped.
"I love you." I remarked before I kissed him and left. I decided to go to my room and get Anna out before going to Jenna. "So I talked to John. It sounds like he's going to leave as soon as he gets out of the hospital. Do you think it would be possible for Anna to move into the extra room by any chance?"
"What happened to your mom?" Jenna asked her as Anna began to tear up.
"She had a heart attack." I lied.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Jenna questioned as she gave the vampire a hug. "Yes, you can stay you as long as you want, even permanently."
"Thank you, Ms. Sommers." Anna replied.
"Please call me Jenna." My aunt replied. Technically, she was my uncle's wife's sister, but it's still easier. "So were you gonna come to the mayor's wake with us?"
"Yes she is." I answered for her. I needed to tell Elena that she was going to be staying and maybe they would be able to get back together.
We went upstairs to get Elena before we headed in Jenna's car to the Lockwood mansion. I was glad that she already seemed to have been invited in. Bonnie ended up calling us on the way, which made me believe one thing. Katherine was there. That would be problematic.
"Why do we have to be here?" Elena asked with a frown as we headed into the house. I was pretty sure that she especially didn't want to be with Anna. I really hoped that the third time would be the charm.
"Because the Lockwoods were here for us when we were going through this." Jenna reminded her. "We don't have to stay long. We can just pay our respects and say hello to a few people and leave."
I decided that I would try to find Tyler. He would need someone to talk to right now. I couldn't help but wonder if he knew that Caroline had recovered. I found him upstairs in the study with a flask in his hand. I had definitely been where he was. I still wished that Jenna would give mine back to me.
"Hey." I greeted him.
"Bathroom's down the hall." He explained like I didn't have the house practically memorized.
"I wanted to see how you were doing." I told him. "When my dad died, everyone kept telling what a great guy he was."
"That's because you dad was a great guy." He pointed out. "My dad was a dick."
"Yeah, he was." I agreed. "But you must have some good memories with him. You should try to remember those."
"If I give you some of this will you stop talking?" He asked. I came and sat by him and took a sip. I coughed as it went down. He looked at me and he kissed me and I immediately backed away.
"Tyler, what the hell?" I responded.
"You can't seriously be thinking of doing right now." An older guy interrupted. It was his uncle Mason. I hadn't seen him many times. He then looked at me. "Do you have somewhere else you need to be?"
"Yes, and it's really not what it looked like." I declared before I made my way downstairs. I decided that I would try to find Stefan. I hoped that Katherine had not found him first.
She had. He was outside pinned to a tree with a metal pole. I took some napkins out of my purse and tried to clean him up. I did not have a problem with seeing his abs as I did so.
"What happened?" I asked.
"I thought that by playing her game I could find out what she wanted." He explained.
"So I have something that I need to tell you." I declared. "I hope that you don't get mad at me for this, but I went to see Tyler to see how he was and he kissed meā¦but he was drunk and lonely and I didn't kiss him back and please don't do anything to him."
"Okay, I won't do anything about it this time but if he tries to do it again, we might have a problem." Stefan declared. "We have bigger things to worry about right now anyway."
"Yes, so what are we going to do about Katherine?" I asked.
"I have no idea." He admitted. "While we're on the subject of exes, Katherine still has a thing for me, but I can assure you that the feelings are one-hundred percent one-side. I would never do that to you."
"You know if she wasn't a vampire, I would so fuck her up for going after my man." I joked.
That night, I noticed that John was back and he had some bags in his hands.
"So it looks like you're following Stefan's advice." I noted.
"Well it doesn't seem like anyone wants me here." He replied. "Can I get a hug before I go?"
"What I said to you earlier is all that you're going to get." I said.
"Okay." He responded before going out the door. I slammed it shut on the way out before going up to my room. Anna wasn't there because Jenna was helping her get set in the guest room. However, Damon was there.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"Katherine told me that she doesn't love me." He explained sadly. "I know that this probably sounds strange, but you're one of my only friends. I just needed someone to comfort me right now."
"Damon, I'm not sure that I can do that." I replied. It seemed that everyone needed me to comfort them. "But whatever you're going to do to get rid of Katherine, I will be glad to help."
So Season 2 begins. Anna is officially moving in and Tyler kissed Mary and Damon kissed Katherine. Please don't forget to review
