Okay Jeremy, remain calm. At least you're not dead. I'm not dead. I'm just in someone else's body: a girl's body. I should try to see if I can summon Anna. Okay try to think of her. I thought hard and she appeared. When she saw me, she started laughing hysterically.
"Stop laughing." I told her. She seemed to laugh harder when she heard my voice. I had to do something to get her to stop. "Stop laughing or I'll send you away."
"I'm sorry." Anna replied, still giggling. "You're just so cute and non-threatening. I mean you're in a skirt."
"I know that." I replied. "I need your help. I know I'm in another body, but I need to find out whose body this is." I explained.
"Did you look for any identification?" She asked. I shook my head. She then brought my attention to a purple bag…handbag I think. "Try looking in here."
I opened the bag and inside, I found a purse and inside the purse, I found a wallet which had a driver's license with a picture that matched my appearance.
"Spencer Mason." I read. I checked out the rest of the card and found our glaring thing on it. "Anna, look at the date of birth."
"March, 2, 1994, what's your point?" She asked.
"March, 2, 1994 is the same day I was born." I pointed out.
"Well I had to guess, I would say that's how the spell worked." Anna opined. "Since it couldn't find your body, I think it went for the next best thing: the closest person that was born on the same day as you."
"I guess that means that the spell wouldn't work on you." I stated. "Anyone as old as you would have to be a vampire that is by default dead."
"Well at least you'll be able to see me. And I'll be able to make fun of you." She replied cheekily.
"So do you think that these people are my parents, you know as in Spencer's parents?" I asked, referring to the man and woman.
"Yes." Anna answered. "I looked through their belongings. You know you should really do something about your appearance. Your hair is a mess, you have blood on your neck and your blouse, and you smell really bad."
"Well I don't how love she…I was dead." I answered. It was weird thinking of myself as this other person.
"Well you really need to take a shower." She persisted. "I guess we should find out where we are."
I found a cell phone that had a text message from a girl named Carly. It was asking if Spencer…I was coming over later. I didn't know who this girl was or where she lived. I decided to simply reply with 'IDK' before using the phone to map my current location and get directions to the address on the license.
"So my apparent house is 3 miles from here." I explained. That shouldn't be that. I then realized something. "I have to walk, don't I?"
"We can't dump their bodies on the side of the road." Anna told me. I wasn't thinking of that.
I got out of the car and held the door open for her.
"You remember I'm a ghost, right? I can just pass through the door and you're the only one who can see me." She reminded me. I blushed. "You have no idea how cute you look right now."
"Let's just go." I declared. I tried to take a few steps in the shoes that I was wearing before I fell over and Anna started laughing again. I took the shoes off and held them in my hands. I knew that I wasn't wearing socks, but it was easier to walk. "Shut up."
I guess it wasn't too hard since I was used to walking. The only problem was that I was now in a city that I've never been to without anyone that I know. On top of that, I was in a body that I wasn't familiar with. My feet also hurt. Finally, I came across the address. I began to look through the bag and found a set of keys. I also noticed a red convertible in the driveway and couldn't help but wonder if it was mine. I opened the door and entered the house.
I looked around and guessed that I needed to find out which room was mine. I needed to start thinking of myself as a girl because I was one right now and I didn't know how long I would be one.
"I think this one is yours." Anna remarked as she pointed to a door that said SPENCER on it. Yeah, I think that makes it pretty obvious. I found the bathroom and grabbed a towel. I was about to take a shower as a girl.
I peeled off my clothes and removed the underwear that I was wearing. It all felt weird. Maybe I would be able to get used to it. I step into the shower and closed the curtain before turning the water on. I jumped as it hit my skin. Do I have to get used to that too? One thing that I would definitely need to get used to was having more hair to wash. I also wish I was listening to Elena's lecture on proper hair care when I was 13.
I did know how to use a towel as a girl. I guess growing with an older sister had its advantages. I wonder what Elena would do when or if she found out about this. I don't where she is or what she did in response to my death, but I do know that she was still alive. I would have at least seen her on the Other Side if she was dead. I had seen Vicki and Alaric and Kol, (Jenna had apparently not been a vampire long enough to go there.) and even that Connor guy.
I went to my room and began to look for some clothes. I also didn't know how to coordinate clothes. I am going to suck as a girl. I decided to go with something easy: a black long-sleeved tee and jeans. I laid the clothes out and a pair of panties. I would have to wear them. They were the clothes I had. I put them on quickly and reached for the t-shirt.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" Anna interrupted.
"What?" I asked.
"You need a bra." She reminded me. Yeah I guess that would be useful. I knew found one that seemed to be the same color before I realized something.
"I don't know how to get this on." I stated.
"You got out of it okay." She pointed out.
"Well I have experience taking them off." I argued. "I've never put one on before."
"You would be screwed without me." She remarked before she instructed me on how to put one on. "By the way, there is one thing that I can't help you with."
"What?" I asked.
"On your monthly...time, I haven't had a period in over half a millennium and it was much different." Anna declared. I was now sorry that I asked. I seriously had no idea when that was going to be. I had no idea what I was supposed to do with anything. Should I try to get back to Mystic Falls, even though it's two hours and I don't think I have any money. I mean I don't know this girl's PIN number so I can't use any money that she has in her bank account. Plus who knows what's going to happen when people find that my…her parents are dead. I can think of most old things about as mine, but I only have one set of parents.
"So, do you have any idea what might happen when someone finds out that Spencer's parents are dead?" I questioned as I put my clothes on. I kind of expected the jeans to be tighter. They definitely didn't have pockets.
"No, but I know that you should do your best to act shocked and upset about it." Anna replied. "Do you remember how you felt when you learned your parents died?"
"Worthless." I answered.
"Okay…that is not how you should feel." Anna replied. "You really were lost before you met, weren't you?"
Suddenly, the doorbell began to ring. I don't know who could be here. Should I answer it? It rang a second time. I guess I should answer. For all I know, it could be the cops. Maybe I should prepare to be shocked. I went down and opened the door.
It wasn't the cops. It was a girl with dark brown hair and hazel eyes. She appeared like she was a little taller than me, but I noticed she was wearing heels. Her actual height was not something that I could calculate. I was pretty sure that she was one of Spencer's friends.
"Hi." I greeted her. I was surprised. "What are you doing here?"
"I came to pick you up." She told me. Was I supposed to be expecting her or something?
"Pick me up?" I asked.
"What is there an echo in here?" The girl asked as I heard Anna giggling. "I texted you. I don't why you would be hesitant. We've been planning this all year."
Okay so she was Carly. Maybe I shouldn't have texted her back. I could see a huge smile on Anna's face.
"So, what were we planning again?" I asked.
"It's the hot tub party. Don't tell me that you forgot about it." Carly replied. "God, did you hit your head or something? Or are you ground for the whole Steve thing? Let me talk to your parents. I can explain it to them and we'll have you out quickly."
"They're not here." I responded. How does one tell someone that their parents are dead in a car on the side of the road? Furthermore, what was this Steve thing that she was talking about?
"Well then come on. Grab your bikini and let's go already." Carly urged. What kind of girl was I?
"Can I have a moment?" I asked. "You can wait on the couch while I get ready."
I guess that if I was going to a hot tub party, I wouldn't have to worry about putting on makeup, which was something else that I would need Anna's help with.
I went up to my room as I tried to find out where a bikini was. I don't think there would be any way that I could get out of this. I didn't know what I was going to do. I was literally living someone I never met's life.
"She seems nice." Anna commented.
"I just wish that there was some way that I could know what I was in for." I mused. "I mean what would you do you were in this situation?"
"I can't tell you, but you might just want to go with the flow." Anna suggested.
"I'm not quite sure how to go with the flow." I admitted. "I mean what if there's something that I can't handle. What if I have a boyfriend? I can't kiss a guy. I definitely can't do other things with a guy. This is just so freaking crazy."
"Jeremy, you are Spencer right now, so unless you can find some way to get Bonnie to fix that, you're going to have to deal with it." Anna told me. I wondered if I could get Bonnie to fix it. Would she be able to fix it? I decided to take out my phone. "What are you doing?"
"I'm texting Bonnie to let her know what happened." I explained as I sent it out a text. It read "Bonnie, I know you don't know this number, but it's Jeremy. You brought me back in someone else's body. I'll send you a picture later."
"You really shouldn't keep her waiting." Anna told me, "You wouldn't be a very good friend if you did."
"I guess I should go." I agreed as I grabbed the first bikini that I could find. I then looked at her. "Speaking of being a good, I want to thank you for helping me today. You're right. I wouldn't be able to do this without you and I probably will continue to need your help at least until I can get settled in. So do you think that you can help me out at least for a little while longer?"
"It's not like I have anything better to do." She replied with a smile on her face. "Seriously, it's easy help you adjust to being a girl or spending eternity alone."
I gave her a hug. It probably would look really weird if someone were to walk in right, but no one did and I headed downstairs.
I wonder if it's possible to get to know someone who already knows you. That was basically what I would have to do with Carly. From what I gathered, she was my best friend. Maybe she could tell me more being about Spencer and who she was. I saw Carly on the couch. I suddenly felt thirsty.
"I'm gonna get a bottle of water out of the fridge." I announced to her, hoping that there was water in the fridge. For that matter, I hoped that there was food in the fridge. "Do you want one?"
"No, I already have something to drink." Carly told me. I went into the kitchen and saw that there was indeed food in the fridge. Nothing was expired. Not that it mattered because I didn't know how to cook. I guess I could microwave something. That brings me back to having no money, which means I could be screwed. I walked back out into the living room with bottle in hand. I then saw Carly and I dropped the bottle on the floor in shock. There was Carly on the couch will a bag of blood in hand and she was drinking from it. Carly was a vampire. Why is it that every girl that I meet turns out to be one? She then noticed me and acted like nothing was wrong.
"You're a vampire." I told her. She looked at me like I was crazy.
So lots of adjustments need to be made for Jeremy/Spencer. At least she has Anna to help her out with some things. Plus since Carly is a vampire, she may able to explain things. Carly is played by Lucy Hale. And what's going to happen with Bonnie? Please don't forget to review.
