Sorry it's been so long. Honestly I lost my umph for this story. It was supposed to be a one shot. Now that the season 4 of TVD is on, I think I'm going to go based off their version and just twist it a little. I hope you enjoy.


JEREMY POV!

Chapter 9: Tyler

Tyler was pissed. He stood in the corner of the room, his eyes darkened with anger. He took in the scene in front of him, and then glared at me.

"They can't see me, can they?"

"No, man, they can't." I said slowly.

"What the hell is going on?" He demanded, as he pushed himself off the wall he was leaning on, and began to walk closer to me.

"Klaus didn't really die when Alaric staked him, he used Bonnie and forced her to do spell that would protect his soul…he then spiritually jumped into your body. Only one soul may abide in a body at a time…" I explained.

"So, I'm dead?" Tyler's eyes widened in understanding. "What? How—"

"Dude, relax. We are going to fix this." I said to calm him, before I turned my attention to Bonnie. "Bonnie, what do we have to do now?"

"Can he hear me?" She asked, looking in the direction of where Tyler stood.

"Yes." He replied, unheard to Bonnie.

"Yes." I repeated, translating.

"We are going to have to try to bring him back ourselves, but that would mean having to figure out how to get Klaus out of Tyler's body, so his soul can return to the right place. Tyler…if you can hear me. I'm going to need you to sit tight until we can come up with a way to make this happen. The point of tonight to make sure you were still there. I think some old spell books my gram use to have may hold the key, but you have to give me some time. Unfortunately, you won't have much time in limbo like this. You need to concentrate on staying to yourself. You may encounter…others. Do not speak to them. They cannot hurt you, but they can take you farther in. The farther in you are, the harder this will be. Just stay where you are."

"What does she mean, stay where I am? How am I supposed to stay 'close' when I don't even know how far I can go? What the hell, Jeremy!?" Tyler shouted.

"He wants to know how he's supposed to stay put without going farther in?" I asked Bonnie.

"He needs to just concentrate on his memories. Of coming home, of being with us. He needs to concentrate on staying conscious. Concentrate on being alive. Don't get sleepy. Stay alert, stay focused."

"For how long?" Tyler asked.

"How long will this take?" I translated.

"I'm not sure…but no more than a day or two, I'll work as fast as I can. I promise." Bonnie's voice broke a little, but she looked determined.

"What happened to Klaus's body anyways? Did it turn to ashes?" Tyler asked curiously.

"Did Klaus's body ever turn to ashes?" I directed my question towards Damon.

As if remembering something suddenly, his expression hardened at my question. "No…" he growled, glaring at Bonnie. "His body was perfectly intact, just a bit charred! The stake was burned to a crisp."

"What did you do with the body?" Elena asked, looking over at him.

"I hid it. But that's not the point…" He jabbed a finger in Bonnie's direction. "None of this should be happening. Everyone around here…doing things to help you, Elena. Help my ass."

He sighed and walked out the room, leaving an awkward silence in his wake.

"Alright. So, Tyler, remember, sit tight." Bonnie reminded him.

I nodded at her to let her know he'd heard and nodded in response.

"We'll see you soon." She murmured before chanting again, causing the lights to flicker. When everything came back on, Tyler was gone.

"Is he gone?" She asked me.

"Yes."

"Oh," She looked down, and so did I, just in time to notice her still grasping my hands. She immediately released them. "Sorry. Okay, I ugh, need to go and get started hunting for that spell." She said quickly as she scrambled up to gather her things.

"I could help." I offered.

"No!" She snapped quickly, and I jerked my head back in surprise. "I mean…no, it's alright. I got it…I need to do it by myself."

"Alright…" I said. Then turned to look at Stefan and Elena. "So what do we do now?"

"You need to go home. We have school tomorrow." Elena pointed out.

"Uh, you can't be serious? You expect me to go to—or you—under the current circumstances Elena?" I asked her in disbelief.

"He's right. You're not going anywhere." Damon chimed in, as he walked back into the room with another glass of liquor.

"Elena, listen to them. I don't think you're ready for that just yet." Bonnie said slowly.

Elena folded her arms and glared. "I can handle myself. If this is going to work, I need to act as normal as possible. The last thing we want is for anyone in town to get suspicious."

"Elena…you going to a place surrounded by people you are going to want to kill will most certainly end up causing suspicion when someone ends up dying." Damon retorted.

"Damon." Stefan warned him.

"What? Brother, your job is to sugar coat shit. I'm letting her know the cold hard reality that comes with being a vampire." He took a swig of his drink before looking at my sister. "And that is the truth. You will kill. It is your natural instinct. To hunt. To kill. To feed. You are all about being morally correct and all that crap, so you killing someone probably wouldn't go over well with your conscious. You need to stay here, on lock, until you can get yourself under control. You'll need our help."

Elena was silent, knowing that Damon was right. She sighed in defeat. "Okay, fine. But Jeremry you still need to go home. I don't trust myself to be alone with you or around you to for too long just yet."

I rolled my eyes. It wasn't like Damon or Stefan would have left that choice up to her anyways. "Yea, alright Elena."

"Also…Bonnie?" Stefan glanced over at Bonnie, who was almost done collecting her belongings. While everyone was talking, she had handed me a strip of cloth to bandage my sliced hand.

"Yea?"

"Elena will need a daylight ring."

"Oh you're right. I'll bring it by tomorrow."

"See, you wouldn't have been able to go anywhere anyways without that." Damon said.

"Okay, so tomorrow, I'll see you all…and hopefully I'll be able to fix this mess I've caused." Bonnie said solemnly.


Please review. I'd appreciate it.
