I'm Home
It's been? 2 years since Kerri left. But still it feels like forever. She came here for our parents funereal and then left. She stayed for the weekend and the just left.
Stefan was out of town so that means Damon and Elena had some alone time. Damon was standing by Elena dresser looking at her pictures. He noticed a girl that looked like Jeremy and Elena. But her hair was black. The color of my hair, Damon thought. The girl had yellow highlights in her hair. And her eyes were hazel.
"Elena?" Damon asked
Elena looked up from texting Bonnie and said, "Mhh?" while walking over to him.
He took the picture he was looking at down and said "Who is this?" Elena smiled really big at him.
"That's Kerri" she said "Kerri Gilbert, my big sister"
"What!"
"Yea my sister she moved out two years ago. I really miss her. You know that extra room down the hall?" He nodded his head. "Well that was her room. I wish she would come back. I was never the same without her." She laughed "Me and Jeremy was a wreck when she left." She paused and took the picture from Damon. "We both looked up to her. She was our big sister after all. I was never the same again. I was wild and crazy and always got in trouble."She smirked "But she would take full responsibility. Get grounded and then after she got off of punishment she would get me to go to a wild party to celebrate 'her freedom'. She was the most important thing to me and Jer. When she left...I was like this: quite and scared of everything. But Kerri she...she took things head on. No matter what it was. Never did she regret anything. She was the "head bitch" at school. Everyone was scared of her. Even my friends." Elena smirked at that part and then added "She wasn't just my sister she was my best friend. But now she's gone. I'm talking as if she died. Right? Well it feels as if she had."
Damon looked at Elena and said "I know what your talking about. Me and Stefan was like that but then..." he trailed off.
"But then came Katherine" She finished the sentence for him.
"Yea..." They both looked back to the pictures with Damon asking a lot of questions
It was about...8:00pm when the door opened and closed. Elena and Damon didn't know who that was...Jenna was in her room and Jeremy was in his room...Who can that be?
Then a sweet voice almost like honey came and Elena recognized it.
"Hello? I'm home...Is anyone here?" A small smile crept up Elena face as she raced down the stairs with Damon, Jeremy and Jenna not to far behind. When Elena reached the bottom of the stairs she almost knocked her sister down.
"Elena! Gosh...Have you gain weight?" Kerri asked when her sister let go.
"No, but have you?" Elena asked with a devilish smile
"Jeremy! I'm so sorry for saying goodbye to you like that"She said walking over to give her brother a hug.
"It's okay. You had to go catch your plane. I missed you"
"I miss you too. I missed you all." She paused for a second and turned her fiery gaze upon Damon "Who are you, might I ask"
"If you don't mine, I'm Elena boyfriend." He said. Then Kerri turned her gaze back to Elena.
"I thought you everything you know about boys and let me just say,"She yet again paused and then continued "I'm proud of you" then walked off into the front room taking a seat on the couch. Every one followed her. "Jenna might I say I'm happy to see you took care of them."
"What- why wouldn't take care of them!" Kerri just shook her head.
"Jenna I'm just saying that I'm happy to see that they are in good shape"
"Oh but you don't care about me?" She asked looking her dead in the eyes. Kerri got up and started hovering over Jenna.
"What-why would you say that" She said in the most perfect imitation of a whiny little child. Jenna just looked away and Kerri sat back down. "Look Aunt Jenna, I know we didn't get along when I was little because of my attitude."She said "But were both grown here so why not get past this? It's childish" Jenna looked over to her to see that she was completely serious.
Elena sensed this tension in the room and said "I was thinking about you earlier and here you are now"
"Mhh something weird always happen with you" Kerri replied
"How is that?"
"Your boyfriend is a vampire. And your ex was too." It wasn't a question it was a statement. Elena looked to Kerri and then to Damon and Kerri added. "Don't act stupid with me"
"Oh- um yea he is..."
"I knew that" she said with a smirk.
"Where are you staying"
"Hotel...Why?"
"You can stay here. Your room is still up there empty of everything but the bed and furniture."
"Um.."She looked over to Jenna and asked"Is it okay with you?"
"Sure. Were all adults right?"
"Not really. I am 19 but I have to finish my last year of high school."
"Oh-That's right! You got expelled."
"Yes" she said with a smirk
"Your going to school here?" Elena asked
"Yes, sister dear."
"No disrespect but why are you here?"
"I missed my family and...I had to get out"
"Why what happened?" Elena said getting concerned and moving over to sit next to her sister.
"Boyfriend being an ass and swearing he all tough around his friends. Saying if I don't do this and that, that he's gonna set me straight. But he didn't know me to well so I ended up setting him straight!"
"Your so abusive sometimes"
She laughed. "Sister dear, do you think I would take that from him? Or anyone as a matter of fact?"
"No"
"Exactly but anyway it's Sunday and school is tomorrow. Night"
"Wait" Jeremy said
"Yes Jer?"
"Your not afraid of vampires?"
"Of course not! And Jer, I know your secret too"
"What is that?"
"Your a vampire too, ain't I'm right?"
"Yes. You are right, and we can't keep nothing from you can we?"
"Nope now, goodnight"
"Night" they all said
"Oh and Damon?"
"Mhh" he said scared to say anything else
"I can tell you love my sister. And let me just tell you I will hunt you down with a stake and every other thing I can use to kill vampires! I will take that little magical ring that you have off and I will stomp on your ashes just for the fun of it. I love Elena with all my heart and if anything happens to her and you are the cause of it I will come after you! If you harm Jeremy or his little vampire of a girlfriend I will come after you. If you do anything, anything to Jenna or any of their loved ones I'm going to be the one to take care of it all meaning you. Got it? Good? Good. Now that, that's in your head I would like to say good night" she said before waling away leaving all of them shocked and staring after her...
