Veronica Mars:

Young, P.I. and In Love

Part 2

It was the end of July when Veronica and Kol arrived in Mystic Fall's and settled into Kol's room at the mansion that was now their bedroom.

They had wanted to go to New Orleans with Klaus but Elijah had spoken to them about a mysterious Hunter being in town and attacking the good and the bad, not afraid to hurt humans if it meant killing a few vampires, so everyone was coming back to try and settle this new problem before it caused too many damages to their town.

Elijah started by filling everyone on what had happened, what the hunter had done, what they knew about him and who he had hurt. Klaus' first reaction was to simply kill the man and get it over with but when Elijah mentioned the tattoo that only Jeremy Gilbert, of all people, could see, he changed his mind and explained to Veronica and Lilly what happened when he killed the 5 hunters a while back. Nobody wanted to go through that and they needed to find another way to deal with it.

Kol seemed to know more than his siblings about the order of the five. He told them what he had found out over the years by hanging out with witches and travelers. The Order of the Five had for mission to kill vampires in order to complete their mark and once it was complete, they were to use their sword to decode it, find out where Silas, a 2 thousand years old vampire, probably one of the very first ever created, was held prisoner, give him the cure and kill him. He told them the Legend of Silas, not leaving anything out.

"Well, I can't help but fell sorry for this Qetsiyah. I mean, his punishment was a bit harsh but still..." Veronica declared.

"A bit harsh? Remind me to stay on your good side." Klaus chuckled.

"Well, he did use her and he cruelly lied to her, playing with her feelings and giving her hope that she had found happiness and a bright future only to rip it away the next moment. He deserved to be tasered in the balls every hour for a year. He got off easy." Veronica replied.

The men in the room winced and Lilly smiled at Veronica's ease and confidence. Kol, on his part, was glad that he was on her good side and that he would never have to go against her. He was pretty sure that even as a human she'd be able to hold her own against a vampire or two. She was just that good and it made him love her even more.

"But this cure, do you think it's real? Could we really go back to being human?" Rebekah asked Kol with hope shining in her voice.

"The cure is real but don't get your hopes up sister. There's only one dose of it and it's been created so he'd die immediately. It's not meant to last. The longer you wait after taking the cure, the sicker you'll get, like age taking back it's rightful place in your body." Kol explained.

"Oh..." Rebekah sighted, disappointed.

"If there's only one dose of the cure, it should be given to Silas. According to what I've been told, it's impossible to get it without waking Silas up anyway. You definitely don't want someone as powerful as him awake." Kol added.

"So, what do we do? Do we help the hunter or try to stop him without actually killing him? Do we try to get to Silas and to kill him or do we stay out of it?" Elijah asked, putting it to a vote.

"I think we should try to stop the hunter if he does something else and we should leave Silas alone. Let things happen the way they're supposed to happen." Veronica suggested.

"I agree." Kol said and they all agreed along with them.

"What do we tell the others?" Lilly asked.

"If we tell them about the cure they'll try to get it and people will die in the process. They won't care about the consequences or their actions, especially if it's to help Elena." Elijah explained.

"So we tell them nothing?" Klaus asked.

"We should tell them about the hunter's history but hide a few key details like the existence of the cure. We should definitely insist on how powerful and evil Silas is." Veronica said and once again they all agree with her.

"What about the tattoo? Do we know why Jeremy Gilbert is the only one that can see it?" Lilly asked.

"Maybe for the same reason he can see the dead. Because he was brought back..." Elijah suggested.

"No, he's a potential hunter. Their mark is hidden until it's complete. Once complete, it's visible to everyone. A hunter's mark is hidden so that only another hunter or a potential can see it, so that they can recognize each other and guide the newbies." Kol explained.

"It just gets better and better." Klaus rolled his eyes.

"I think we should warn him so that he can prepare himself and take the decision to activate his mark or not on his own." Elijah announced and everyone agreed with him.

"What if he tells his sister and they decide to go after us or Silas or something?" Lilly asked.

"Then we compel him to forget before he activates his mark, or find a witch to erase his memory or kill him..." Klaus suggested.

"We'll see what we do when we get there." Elijah sighted.

.

Elijah had arranged for the Salvatore, Elena and Jeremy Gilbert to come over for explanations about what they were up against. Bonnie decided to join them to try and get more information about the girl that had arrived with Kol and seemed to be super close to Lilly.

It took them some time but they eventually had everything explained to the little group and Jeremy agreed that he shouldn't activate his mark, especially if it took his humanity away from him. When his sister and her vampires left, he stayed behind with Bonnie for a while since she was busy talking with Veronica and Kol used this time to tell Jeremy the details of the mark and the cure they hadn't told the others. Jeremy agreed that his sister couldn't find out and agreed to keep the secret. Unlike his sister, he was capable of seeing that the Mickealson's weren't so bad. He could even see himself becoming friends with Kol.

Bonnie liked Veronica, she seemed nice and seemed strong for a human, strong enough to handle all the supernatural nonsense. She could see her becoming a good friend and she smiled when she saw Jeremy laughing with Kol. Maybe they'd be able to go on a double date that wouldn't involve Elena's judging eyes and one of the Salvatore.

"We still need to decide on how to deal with thishunter, we can't let him loose any longer." Jeremy said before he and Bonnie left.

"I know, I'm tired of him attacking my hybrids to get their venom and of having to give my blood to cure everyone all the time." Klaus complained.

"Can't you do anything with magic Bonnie? I mean, he was created by magic, right?" Veronica asked her.

"I'm not powerful enough, and even if I was, i'd need all the five hunter present and willing to give up their gifts." She replied.

"Yeah, that's not happening any time soon." Jeremy chuckled.

"Can't we just find a way to kill him?" Lilly asked.

"We'd be under the curse and we don't want that, trust me." Klaus added.

"Who is touched by this curse exactly?" Veronica asked, her face showing that she had had an idea.

Second, shorter part. What did you think of it?

Tell me in a review?

Love,
