'Miss Mystic Falls?' I repeatedly questioningly 'How very regal! But is that supposed to mean something to me?'
'Mystic Falls is a small town in Virginia' Jeremy answered 'I happen to be from there'
'Oh, maybe its a popular place for vampire hunters then?!' I answered jokingly
'Its a popular place for vampires' Jeremy said dryly
'Is that why Klaus wants me to go back there?'
'I have no idea why Klaus is going back there' Jeremy said frowning 'But you can bet its not good. Come on let's go'
'Go where' I asked
'Are you slow or have you not been paying attention' Jeremy teased 'back to Mystic Falls'
The journey in Jeremy's care passed by quickly as we made idle chit chat. Jeremy was the more avid talker of the two and I sensed that he was because he knew that I didn't know much about myself to share. He told me all about his life back in Mystic Falls and I pitied him for all the tragedy that he had been through at such a young age. I also admired the way that such a hard life had not broken him but had grown him into a better man. On quiet points in the journey, I found myself studying his face and form - he really was quite beautiful.
I was snapped back into reality by the passing of a sign which read 'Welcome to Mystic Falls'
Jeremy looked across at me and smiled 'Welcome Home'
We pulled into a private estate and parked in front of an elegantly built old house. I looked at the house through the car window nervously - I still wasn't sure that I wanted to be here in this town. Half of me was telling myself to run in the opposite direction, go to ground and pray that Klaus never found me. The other half, the half that was currently winning, knew that he always would and was curious about the life that I had once led.
Jeremy appeared at the side of the passenger door and opened it. 'This is the Salvatore Boarding House' he explained 'a couple of my friends live here and I need to let them know about the whole Klaus situation - they have quite a colourful past'
I stepped out of the car and made my way to the front door of the house and waited at the threshold as Jeremy stepped through. Jeremy turned around 'oh, no one alive lives here so there's no invitation needed - come in'. As I stepped through the doorway, I was thrown of my feet and felt my body jar into hard brick wall. I composed myself from the shock and looked up, fully expecting to see Klaus' eyes staring back at me. Instead I was greeted by unfamiliar eyes, the were a deep combination of brown and green and sat upon a handsome chiselled face - European of some sort I would say if I had to hazard a guess. I had no idea who this guy was or why he had attacked me. Through gritted teeth he spat words at me as blood fills the fine veins in his face and his eyes began to turn blood red revealing his true form as a vampire - although I had guessed as much already 'Glory, what are you doing here!?' he demanded
'...I, I' I couldn't find the words to answer him and I stood still utter terrified and completely caught off guard. To my relief, Jeremy interjected and placed a firm hand on the vampire's shoulder, trying his best to pull him away from me.
'Stefan' he pleaded 'Let her go. She's not what you think...'
'She's exactly what I think' Stefan answered angrily, tightening his strong grip on me and pushing me further into the cold brick wall. He looked me directly in the eye and I could sense pure hate 'Klaus gave me my memories back' he said to me 'I remember who you are'
'That makes one of us' I answered him
'What?...'Stefan's eyes lightened and his grip eased, although still remained
'I don't know who I am' I answered
'It's true' Jeremy said 'She can't remember anything past the last two years.
'What the hell is going on in here?' an unfamiliar voice questioned as a dark haired gentleman entered the room with striking ice blue eyes
'Hi Damon' Jeremy said 'Stefan was just about to let go of my friend's throat' he said pulling Stefan's shoulder away and his body weight off me. I pulled myself away from the wall and tried to regain my composure.
I was about to introduce myself when another person entered the room, a small girl with dark hair. She was absent mindedly walking towards the loung but stopped dead in her tracks as she saw me and I wondered if she too knew me from my past life. I realised then that it was not me that she was startled by, it was Jeremy. I looked back at him trying to comprehend who this girl might be and I witnessed a sense of troubled confusion cross his face
'Bonnie...?' he said startled
At first, Jeremy looked like he had seen a ghost. Then his face began to change as he processed the information.
Damon interjected 'oh, we forgot to send you the memo, Bonnie's been back for a couple of months now'
'Jeremy' she interrupted. Her face looked apologetic. 'Let me just explain' she pleaded
I watched Jeremy's face fill with hurt, confusion and rage as he turned on his heel and stormed out of the front door.
