Vanessa's POV:
I slowly opened my eyes and my hand flew toward my head. When I pulled it back there was blood on it. "Oh crap." I mumbled to myself.
"Nessa? Is that you?" I heard a familiar voice said. I sat up and saw Alaric standing next to Damon near a locker with a bottle of booze in his hand.
"Ric?" My eyes focused and I tried to stand up. Ric ran to my side and help me. "I thought I'd never see you again." Tears filled my eyes but I blinked them back.
Hugs her back "I've missed you too Nessa" Pulls from the hug and notices the cut on her head "Oh, your head is bleeding." He studied it then but into his wrist and held it to my mouth.
"Woah" I said and leaned back, "since when are you a vampire?" I asked.
"Long story." He said. "Want it or not?" He nodded toward the blood on his wrist.
"Not really." I slipped out of his grip and looked at Damon. "What a bitch!"
He knew I was talking about Elena, "tell me about it." He shrugged. I laughed and then Alaric smiled.
"See, I knew you two could get along!" He joking punched our arms and laughed.
"What?" I looked at him, "me and Damon? No way!" I joked. Well half joked.
We all stood in silence for a second but luckily Damon's phone rings so he goes of to answer it. "So how have you been?" Alaric asks breaking the silence.
"I've been good. Denver's got boring though." I shrug. I was about to ask how he's been but then I realised he was dead.
"I tried to get through you know." He told me. He continued after he saw my confused look. "You know...because you see ghosts."
"Oh. That hasn't been working." I admitted. I had no idea why.
"Strange-" he stared but Damon cut him off.
"That was Matt he said Caroline's with him." He said walking toward us.
"And why did we need to know that?" I asked. Bit random with to call and tell us.
"Because Stefan is supposed to be with Caroline." He crossed his arms. "Which means Silas is with him!"
"Oh crap." I mumbled. I haven't been here but I still knew everything that had happened as they have been keeping my up to date.
"Also..." Damon carried on, "Kol is on the way to kill Elena."
"You two go save Elena." I say and walk away.
"Why? Where are you going?" Alaric asked suspiciously.
"I've got to do something. You guys go." I said and waved them off, "I'll be fine. I promise."
They agree'd and ran off to find Elena. I took the chance to take a walk. I knew about everything that was going on but it was really overwhelming when it was in front of you. Somehow I found myself at Jeremy's grave.
"It had to be you didn't it?" I said to Jer's tombstone. "They had to come and bring you back here. I told them not to. I could of been the one they brought back. Then you would still be here."
It's stupid that I blame myself but I should of fought harder for him to stay in Denver. Where he was safe. Apart from Kol being there but I could have dealt with him!
I was alone. No one else was here. I cried. I cried so hard. All the memories, he became such a great person. He went from a teenage druggy with no care about life to an amazing man who was a hero. "Jer, I just want you back!"
"Well well, how sweet." The bitter British accent came from behind me and I stood up.
...
"Kol." I breathed once I turned round.
"I did want to kill Jeremy but Katherine got to him first. Then I considered killing Elena but now you're here...so that would be just as good." He smiled innocently.
I turned to run but I only got about three steps before I was knocked into a tree. I felt my arm dislocate and I screamed. "I will cherish this moment. The moment I kill you." Kol laughed and kicked me in the stomach.
"Please." I cried holding hand up in surrender. "Stop!"
Kol grabbed the top of my muddy shirt and pulled me up. When I was standing he punched me in the face and I flew to the side...he grabbed my neck before I fell. "Any last words?" He smirked.
"Go to hell!" I spat. This caused him to get even more pissed off and he threw me on the floor near a different tree and walked over slowly.
He towered over me and had is fangs out. His eyes turned dark and red and veins formed under his eyes. I slowly shut my own eyes and waited for Kol to kill me. "How many times do I have to kill you?" A voices came from behind Kol. A manly voice. A familiar voice.
Then before anyone moved or said anything Elena came over and snapped Kol's neck.
"Jeremy?" Elena's voice cracked and she ran over to the darkened figure and wrapped her arms around it.
It couldn't be Jer could it. I mean...he's dead. "Oh my God, Vanessa!" The dark figure moved forward bent down next to me and put his hand on my shoulder.
"Jer?" I smiled weakly. She did it, Bonnie opened the veil. "I-Thank you." I said in a daze as I looked over at Kol's body.
"No problem." He smiled and picked me up bridle style. "Let's get you somewhere safe."
We all regrouped and told each other what happened. Damon fed me a little of his blood to heal the broken arm and cuts.
Damon said that him and Bonnie done something to Silas so we were safe from him now. Stefan offered to dump him in some lake but he decide he'd do it tomorrow after graduation. Alaric and Jeremy had a little catch up then Jeremy went over to Bonnie. They hugged and cried a little and she promised to give him, Me and Elena as much time as she could before she put the veil back up.
"Bonnie!" Elena caught up with Bonnie before she walked off. "I'm sorry...about...everything I did once I flipped the switch."
"Elena." Bonnie smiled patted her on the shoulder then walked off.
I decide to go back to the grill with Stefan and we met Caroline there.
"Oh my God I can't believe he's actually gone!" She smiled happily and poured us all a drink. Then she looked at our faces. "Oh come on! You two should be up celebrating...you look as if you've seen a ghost." She joked. Then she shook her head, "sorry was that too soon."
Stefan leaned back in his chair and put his hands behind his head. "I was expecting to see someone today but I didn't." He frowned.
"I really hope you're talking about me." We all turned to see Lexi standing there hands on hips looking down at Stefan.
"Lexi?" He smiled and got off his seat. They hugged and walked out to have a catch up. He looked so happy to see her.
Caroline heads home to tell her mum the good news and I look at my phone to see three missed calls from Elena so I call her back. "Yo!" I say happily.
"Come catch up with Jer." She says, "he's missed you."
I smiled and tell her i'll be there soon. All night we catch up and talk about stuff.
Me, Elena, Jeremy and Alaric all hung out and ate fast food. Well Elena didn't, she just sat there smiling. Then she got a call from Matt and walked off to take it. When she got back she was panicked. "What's wrong? Is Matt alright?" I stood up and walked over to her.
"It wasn't Matt...it was Connor." She said with worry written all over her face, "he said he wants Silas' body and the cure or he's going to kill everyone at the Grill. It's graduation today every bodies families will be at the Grill!" She said panicking.
I place my hand on her arm and try to clam her down, "Elena, it will be okay!" I soothed. Then looks back at Jeremy and Alaric who were still scoffing down burgers.
"You stay with them!" Elena said and rushed off somewhere. Great, I'm out of the loop again!
I turn to Alaric and Jeremy, "stay here!" I run to the boarding house. I will not be out of the loop! I said to myself.
When I get there I see a man at the door, he shoots something at Damon and I sneak up behind the man who looked like a hunter by the amount of stakes and guns he had. He was telling Damon that some women named Qetsiyah told him to come here to kill Silas. Before he said anymore Stefan was next to me and he stabbed the hunter in the back. "Bit late brother." Damon mumbled. He was laying on the floor.
"Oh god!" I knelt down beside him and pulled the bullet out. He flinched and shut his eyes. "Damon?"
"I'm fine! I'm fine!" He insisted and then got up and went to his room.
Elena came in a few seconds after and asked where he was, "up stairs!" I told her and then followed Stefan into the living room where Lexi was standing.
They were listening to something I couldn't hear and Stefan's face dropped. Lexi comforted him by rubbing his shoulder. He said he'd go back to her heart beat if she chose him but if she didn't he'd leave town.
I couldn't stand anymore depressing talk so I went out for a walk. The something crossed my mind. I though Klaus would be here to save Caroline from all this hell!
I ended up at the Grill where all the families sat and laughed and ate, they had no idea what was going on right in front of them. Alaric grabbed me and told me I shouldn't be out on my own because I would get killed so he took my with him to some sort of lake. Damon was there getting shot by this man called Galen. Alaric used his super vampire speed and snapped Galen's neck like it was a twig then threw him into the water.
"One problem..." Damon said watching the water where Galen was thrown. Then Alaric held up the cure and Damon smiled. Then winced in pain.
"What's wrong with him?" I ask, worried about him. Me and Damon weren't best of friends but I still cared a little.
"The bullet was laced with Vervain!" Damon gasped out and moaned.
"Ric!" I urged him to do something and he got his phone out.
"Do I force feed it to him?" Alaric asked then dropped the phone. "Ah!" He gripped his ears.
"What happened?" I asked. I was sitting next to Damon now urging him to stay alive.
"I don't know..." He stared at his phone that was on the floor.
