I woke up in a strange place that resembled a hotel room. I was on a bed and Ben the bartender was sleeping on a chair. I didn't have any of my vampire hunting stuff on me. I didn't even have my cell phone, but luckily my bracelet was still in place. I sneaked by him and went for the door.
"I wouldn't." Ben replied. Okay do you get ninja skills when turn into a vampire? He then looked me in the eye as if to compel me. "Don't try to escape. Don't even move. Do you understand?"
Had they managed to remove my bracelet, it might have worked, but I was and it didn't. However I decided to fake it.
"I understand." I said monotonously. I then waited for him to turn his back and aimed to make my escape. Unfortunately Anna was at the door.
"Oh why did I get such an idiot involved?" Anna asked rhetorically. I don't know how I didn't realize that she was a vampire. I feel so stupid for letting my guard down like that.
"I did that eye thing." Ben replied.
"She's obviously on vervain." Anna argued. "You're fucking useless."
"Anna what's going on?" I asked as she threw me against the wall.
"You'll find out soon." She stated before she locked me in the bathroom. There, I found Bonnie passed out in the bathroom. At least, I think she was passed out. I went over to check to make sure.
"Bonnie?" I asked.
"Jill, what are you doing here?" She questioned. "Why am I in a bathtub? Where are we?"
"What's the last thing that you remember?" I inquired.
"I was with Ben…oh my god." She remarked as she seemed to get it. I put my finger in front of my mouth to remind her that they could hear us. I turned on the water. "What are we doing here?"
"Well since you're here, I have a feeling that involves opening the tomb." I deduced.
"Why do you think that?" Bonnie asked.
"Because we found the spell book and they're holding us hostage." I explained.
Suddenly, Ben barged in and turned off the water.
"I am not going to open the tomb." Bonnie declared adamantly.
"We'll see about that." Ben responded. "You know maybe if you didn't act like such a desperate virgin, you wouldn't be here right now. Anyway I didn't come for this. I came to retrieve the Gilbert girl."
He threw me into the room, while he stayed in the bathroom. Why he didn't just compel Bonnie, I don't know, but I'm not gonna give him any ideas.
"Hi Jill." Anna greeted me.
"What am I doing here?" I asked. "You pretend to be my friend so you can kidnap me and use Bonnie to open the tomb? Why do you even want it open?"
"Katherine's not the only vampire locked in there." Anna stated. "You see back in 1864, I came here with her, Emily Bennett, and my mom. I managed to escape and Emily was burned at a stake. My mom however was locked in the tomb. I have Jonathan Gilbert to thank for that."
"So what you're going to kill me for something that my ancestor did?" I questioned. "Look I'm sorry but you can't take it out on me."
"You actually mean that." She remarked. "Also for the record, I never planned on killing you. Though if I did, it wouldn't be permanent. I actually like you."
"Then why did you kidnap me?" I questioned. "What do you have to gain from any of this?"
"Leverage." She told me as she took out my iPhone. "How about I call Stefan? He's the one that's into you."
I honestly don't know why she thought that. Stefan loved Elena and I loved Tyler. I definitely didn't have any feelings for him and I doubt that he had any for me. She seemed to put it on speaker.
"Jill?" Stefan asked. "Are you okay?"
"She's fine." Anna answered. "Give me the grimoire and I can guarantee she'll remain that way."
"How do I know that you're telling the truth?" Stefan asked. Maybe this was another reason that the phone was on speaker.
"Say hello to your lover." Anna ordered. Once again, Tyler is my lover.
"I'm here, Stefan." I told him.
"So send someone with the grimoire to town's square in 30 minutes." Anna instructed.
"Bring her with." Stefan ordered.
Anna hung up without saying anything. She got Ben out of the bathroom.
"If I they escape, I will kill you." Anna warned him, before she went out the door. I would like to do that myself.
Okay, so Ben was a major creep. He kept making inappropriate comments. I then realized something. That could work. It would be difficult and I would need a distraction or another plan.
"You must be thirsty." I said to Ben.
"Are you offering?" He asked.
"Maybe." I suggested.
"What are you doing?" Bonnie mouthed.
He stepped toward me and I grabbed the pencil off the nightstand and plunged it into his heart. Ric would be so proud of me. It seemed to work because his body seemed to harden and crack like Vicki's did. Bonnie looked at me in shock.
"How did you do that?" She asked.
No sooner did than she finished talking did Stefan barge in. If had arrived earlier, his presence would have been more helpful, but I'm glad that I was able to take care of myself.
Nevertheless, he took us to Bonnie's grandma's house. I guess he had been invited in. Elena was there. The first thing she did was give me a hug. Bonnie still looked a little confused.
"So both Damon and Anna want the tomb opened." Stefan stated.
"Then just open the tomb." I replied. "I mean if it gives them what they want than we should open it. I have a feeling that both of them might leave town if we do so."
"I'll open the tomb as long as you kill all of the other vampires." Bonnie's grandma said. "You need to use fire."
"Grandma, you don't have to do this." Bonnie responded.
Suddenly, my phone started ringing. I told her that I would call her when she got back.
"Hey Caroline." I replied nervously.
"Where are you?" She asked angrily. "I've been calling you all day. Why haven't you been answering your phone?"
"Caroline, I was kidnapped." I responded, whispering the last part. "You know that Anna I met? She is a vampire and had me and Bonnie kidnapped? I just escaped not that long ago."
"Oh and now I feel terrible for yelling at you." She stated. "I know just what you need. This guy named Duke from Duke is throwing this huge party. He's a huge chauvinist and asshole but it's a party. It's by the old ruins of Fell's Church."
"Care, I don't think it would be such a good idea to go there." I told her. "Come over to Bonnie's grandma's house. I'll explain everything to you."
Caroline arrived in what I assumed was the usual amount of time it took to get from where she was to Bonnie's grandma's house. In that time, Elena had gone to see Damon. I still don't get it. Elena and Damon had like no common interests, other than apparently wanting the tomb opened.
"So there is a tomb full of vampires from the Civil War underneath Fell's Church?" Caroline asked as I nodded. "Why didn't anyone tell me this?"
"We didn't think it would ever be opened." Stefan explained. "But now we don't really have any choice?"
"Does it seriously have to be on the same night as Duke's party?" Caroline asked in exasperation. "Can't it wait until tomorrow?"
"I don't think that would be such a good idea." I stated.
So when it came down time for the spell, it was mine and Caroline's job to stand lookout. For whatever reason, they chose to let me, a semi-trained vampire hunter stand watch. I only got kidnapped because I let my guard down to someone that I didn't know was a vampire.
"It sucks that we're here and we can't even have anything to drink." Caroline stated.
"Well I don't think being inebriated would be a very good way to make sure no one comes by." I responded. "Maybe we can have drinks at the Salvatore house after this is over. I mean I wouldn't count on Damon staying but Stefan probably will."
"Now that sounds fun." Caroline agreed.
"I hope you're not having fun without me." Anna remarked as she walked over.
"Who's that?" Caroline asked.
"Anna." I responded.
"I actually like your style Jill." Anna responded. "But I want to get into that tomb. I think you should let me pass."
"We can't let you do that." Caroline told her.
"Well I am going through if I have to use force." Anna said. "I just want to reason with you. I just really want my mom back. I mean if you had to chance to get yours back, would you?"
"I don't know." I answered truthfully. "But it doesn't matter because I don't have that choice."
"Please just let me in." Anna begged as she began to cry. She really wanted her mom back that badly.
So I ended up going into the tomb with her to help her find her mom.
The tomb was quite possibly the creepiest place I had end been. Not only was it dark and filled with cobwebs and bugs, but I could see the vampires. Their eyes were open. I felt like I was in a horror movie. I really hoped that I was the girl that doesn't get killed.
"This is her." Anna told me. "I need one more thing from you."
"What?" I asked.
"Your blood." She responded as she grabbed my arm and held it to her mother's mouth. After a few seconds, she removed it and her mother's body seemed to regain color. I panted a little. "Thank you. I wasn't lying in the hotel room. I do like you and I like being your friend. I don't think I'm going to stay but I hope we will be able to regain our friendship one day."
I made my way out of the tomb with Anna following behind me. It turned out that Katherine wasn't in the tomb. I didn't know what that meant and where she was if she was still alive.
Bonnie's grandma didn't seem to survive the spell. I know that would be hard on her. Elena and Caroline were going to stay with her to keep her company. I think Stefan was going to console Damon about Katherine not being in the tomb. I just really wanted to go home. Caroline even let me drive her car. I imagined that she would be back for it in the morning.
Once I got home, I decided to make myself a sandwich. I actually didn't have dinner and I had less blood than usual, so I was hungry.
"So I don't know if you know but Elena is spending the night at Bonnie's." Jenna told me.
"I know." I answered before I took a bite of my food.
"Well as soon as you get done eating, there's a surprise in your room for you." She remarked. What kind of surprise could it be? I wasn't expecting anything. "Don't wait too long."
I finished my meal and put the dishes in the dishwater. I then headed upstairs and opened the door to my room.
"Oh my God." I said when I saw it.
So what kind of surprise does Jill have? I've already told you if look back at previous chapters. Also Jill finally got a chance to kill a vampire and she did it with a pencil. The good news is Damon still has Elena. But of course, we know what's going to happen next. Please don't forget to review
