Jeremy POV

"Bonnie, please calm down," I said as Bonnie fell to her knees, throwing the grimoires violently at the door.

She froze there, tears betraying her.

It all started when Elena and Damon left, I had another vision.

Three hours before (author pov)

As Damon and Elena left, Jeremy turned to the others which were in the living room. Alaric was talking to Bonnie about some kind of child protection services, since that Jenna was the only living guardian.

"We don't have to get involved in those," Jeremy interrupted. "Nobody knows about Jenna, and Elena is going to turn eighteen soon, the house will be hers. And Rick, you can always stay here if you want."

Alaric opened his mouth to respond, but was interrupted by Jeremy's twist of pain.

"What was that?" Jeremy asked breathless, as he held his chest. But the answer was given to him as soon as he felt a breeze of cold air surrounding him.

"Anna?"

"And Vicki," Vicki replied.

"What's going on, Jeremy?" Bonnie began to ask, but she realized that she could see the ghosts too. "I can see them."

"We both loved you, Jeremy," Anna said as she put her hand on Jeremy's. "The witches need help, Bonnie. There were consequences-Nature is too unbalanced. Jeremy, it is your job to balance nature. You're supposed to be dead."

"What do you mean, balance it? Is someone supposed to die in my place?"

"We can't help you, Jeremy," Vicki said. "No one knows how, except the chosen one himself."

"Chosen one?"

"Everything happens for a reason, Jeremy. You didn't get back from death for nothing."

Those were their last words.

Present Time, Jeremy POV

"I've searched every freaking grimoire," Bonnie said as she sat on the floor. "There is no spell, no information about unbalance in nature."

"It's my job to find out," I said. "But I won't let anyone die in my place."

"I'm going to help you," Alaric suddenly said. "I'm going to help you no matter what. You and Elena have become the closest persons I have to family, same goes with Bonnie and everyone that's been helping us. I can't lose any one of you."

Bonnie moved closer to Alaric and wrapped his arms around his neck. He was startled at first, but then he pulled her closer in a tight hug. "Thanks." She mouthed. I couldn't help but not doing the same.

Katherine (author POV)

Katherine was still scared of going out of the hotel. She was scared that something might happen, she had that strong feeling that if she gets one foot out of the hotel, it would be her last step.

"Room service," A young woman called. Great, it was a woman. She wasn't going to have a nice time today.

"Come in," Katherine said, and the young woman placed a tray of food on the bedside table.

Katherine blurred after her and sunk her fangs in the flesh of her neck. But this time, it was Katherine that fell to the floor. Vervain.

"You can come in now," the young woman said as she wiped the blood off her neck. "As I said, vampire."

Klaus (Klaus's pov)

"That's it, that's my boy," I said as I pulled the bruised and drained body away from his hands. "You got her good. Shame though, she was beautiful." I sighed. "I'll put her with the others."

Stefan looked at me with big, thirsty eyes. It was his thirtieth body today.

"Where to?" He asked.

"Europe. My little friend's there." I grinned.

Katerina Petrova, I know where you are, and I'm coming.

Damon's POV

"What do you mean?"

I was on the phone with Jeremy as Elena was asleep in the car, and part of me wanted to forget everything he had just told me. "What do you mean, balance nature?" I groaned. "Can you just tell these witches to shut the hell up?"

I listened patiently as Jeremy explained that he has no clue.

"I want you to keep this from Elena, at least until now," Jeremy explained again. "There is nothing you two can do. But I wanted to keep you updated. Please, don't tell my sister." He was clearly begging.

I sighed. "Fine," I said. "But if things get complicated…"

"I'll tell her myself, in that case," He interrupted. "I just want you to take care of her. I don't know where this is heading."

Though I tried to hide it, his words touched me. "Jeremy, nothing's going to happen, but I can assure you, that as long as I'm undead, no one will touch your sister."

"Thank you, Damon," he said before he hung up.

I stared at my phone, and couldn't believe that I just agreed into keeping another secret. But I had to.

Our trip haven't been much of a success-I collected information about the missing persons, but their parents all said the same: Average High School students.

It was now nighttime and I parked the car in the parking lot before I touched Elena's arm gently. "Elena, wake up," I whispered. She moved a little but didn't open her eyes.

"Elena," I said again, and this time she opened her eyes.

"I found a motel," I said. Her eyes still almost closed with tiredness, she got out of the car.

"Two separate rooms, please," I asked the person behind the counter.

He typed something on his computer.

"I'm sorry sir, there's only one room available," He said.

I looked at Elena, and she nodded.

"We'll take it."

"The elevator's out of order," He said again. "Here's your key."

"Do you want me to carry you?" I smirked as Elena started to slowly climb the stairs.

She gave me a look.

"It's on the third floor, you know…" I grinned, and this time, Elena nodded her head. I balanced her weight on my hands as I carried her and the small suitcase at the same time.

When we finally arrived, we noticed that there was only one bed. "Don't worry, you take the bed," I grinned as I put her on the bed. "I'll go take a shower."

"You don't have to sleep on the bug infested couch," Elena said as she dried her hair with a towel.

"I'll be fine," I said as I tried to find a more comfortable position.

"No, really," she said. "You've been driving all night."

"Well, if you really want to share…" I smiled. "Then who am I to deny you that?"

She smacked me playfully on the arm and I laughed.

"You better rest well… Only God knows when we get to sleep in a bed again."

"Very encouraging," she sighed. "Goodnight, Damon,"

"Goodnight, Elena."

Yay so Stefan's alive. He is still to handsome to kill, right? More will be explained.
