Chapter 21: Fight

Jeremy could feel tension in every part of his body; he was holding his body ready for a fight. A fight he knew was coming and that he knew he was unprepared for. Before this whole mess started he had been ready to kill Kol and yet now he stood ready to fight to keep him alive.

Standing here in this room unconscious vampires, vampires that had started off as enemies and yet somehow they had become his friends. He missed home, he missed having the other's at his back, Bonnie, Stefan, Matt, Ric, hell he even miss Damon. There at least there was always someone to come in a help. But here all he had was the Originals three of which were still out.

He heard someone outside the front door; he pulled out Elijah's dagger just as that someone banged against the door. The wardrobe held. Then someone hit the door again, and again. The wardrobe creak sound and when the next bang came pieces of wood scattered throughout the room. In walked Mikael and two hunters.

"Who are you, boy?" Mikael demanded to know.

Jeremy wasn't too sure how to respond, so he didn't.

That seemed like the wrong choice because the original lunged at him and grabbed him by the throat. Jeremy felt himself pulled off the ground, suspended and help by the single hand around his neck.

"I asked who are you?"

"Jeremy." He tried to get out. It probably didn't sound like a name but Mikael released him.

Jeremy landed on his feet. Slightly impressed with himself for not falling on his ass.

"Why are you in here?" The vampire said, standing close. Close enough to make Jeremy shudder and take a step back.

"Got lost?" Jeremy knew it sounded like a question, but he was honestly just trying to by as much time as he could.

The oldest Mikelson growled at him. " I don't like humans interfere where they don't belong."

This time with Mikael moved Jeremy was ready, when the vampires hand came for him Jeremy ducked under it and brought up the dagger slashing through the vampires' underarm. Surprised Mikael took a step away.

" I do belong here." Jeremy said. This time it was a hunter that came at him. Jeremy didn't hold back, he used all of his power and every bit of training he had to match the other man's moves. It didn't take long for him to find an opening. The hunter tried bring both his hand down on Jeremy's shoulders leaving his stomach open. Jeremy pushed the knife forward and felt the resistance it met when it entered the stomach. Then he pulled it towards him, gutting the hunter. The man screamed and fell away from Jeremy.

Jeremy wanted to throw up. He felt the bile start to come up. He forced himself to swallow it and focused on the other two threats in the room.

He saw surprise on the other hunters face, and that Mikael was impressed.

The other hunter pulled out a small sword and started to move towards Jeremy.

The hunter kept a small distance between them, enough where his sword could reach Jeremy but were Jeremy couldn't reach him. The man gave a small lung, testing Jeremy's reaction. Jeremy sidestepped the blade. They continued this back and forth for a few minutes. The man tried getting Jeremy to circle, trying to place Jeremy's back to Mikael. But Jeremy kept to his area, where the only vampire at his back was Elijah.

" You are a good fighter." The hunter said. "You should fight with us. Help destroy these monsters. Not siding with them."

Jeremy rolled his eyes.

"You do realize he," Jeremy tilted his head towards Mikael. "Is a vampire right?"

"He only feeds off vampires and wanted to destroy them." The hunter lunged again. This time Jeremy was just a little too slow and the blade cut his check. He hissed at the sudden burn but quickly made himself ignore the pain.

The hunter smiled. He kept up his small quick moves, always keeping to much space for Jeremy do anything back with. Jeremy was getting frustrated. Not that the fight was wasting time. But he hated not being able to fight back. He felt the weight of the blade in his hand. While dodging another swipe of the man's blade, Jeremy thought back to what Rebekah had said about the knife.

He took a deep breath and hoped that this worked. He waited for the hunter make the same stupid lung, this time when the blade came towards him Jeremy push his arm up letting the blade bite into his arm. When the hunter hesitated surprised but the move Jeremy brought his other arm up and threw the blade with everything he could. Damon had told him he was horrible at tossing daggers but this one sailed perfect through the air and slammed into the man's chest. Right into his heart.

The man went down. Making him the second person Jeremy had killed. A person he had killed to protect vampires. His past self was screaming at him somewhere.

Jeremy kept his eyes on the vampire as he reached down and grabbed the man's fallen sword.

Mikael smiled. "You think you can stand a chance against me boy? You a human? You maybe have got lucky with these two but I am faster, stronger, and better."

Jeremy wanted to roll his eyes at the man's ego.

"It wasn't luck." Jeremy said, he made himself stand straight and put every ounce of confidence into his voice. "I was better trained."

"It was luck," Mikael spat at him. The man started moving forcing Jeremy to move as well. The where circle each other.

" A human against a hunter, you should have been dead." Mikael's face changed, his eyes darken and the Vampiric vanes showing under his eyes. He growled letting Jeremy see his teeth.

"No a hunter against a hunter." Jeremy smiled. He was hoping this would make Mikael hesitate. Because for all his bravo Jeremy knew he would lose against the original.

It worked. Mikael stopped walking.

"That is impossible. I know the magic that created hunters. They are driven to kill vampires. You wouldn't be able to be around them and not kill them." He sounded so sure. And for the first time Jeremy was grateful for Elena becoming a vampire. If she never had been, then Mikael would have been right. He would have tried to kill them. The urge to do so wouldn't have let him be around them without having to try.

Jeremy was going to say something smart about being stronger then the magic when he noticed two things. First there was a ripple through the air and second Elijah was standing behind Mikael look very pissed.

Jeremy felt his smile widen.

Mikael must have felt the magic fall to because he snarled. "What was that?" He demanded.

"That would be a friend killing your witch."

Mikael charged for Jeremy put Elijah was faster. Elijah shoved a long piece of wood straight throw Mikael's heart. The original started desiccating immediately.

"Oh thank god." Jeremy mumbled and dropped to his knees, the slight pain from his cheek and the burning from his arm finally demanding he pay attention to them. He hadn't looked at his arm after the blade at cut it he was to worried about Mikael. But now he would see he was losing a lot of blood.

"Not good." He mumbled again.

He closed his eyes.

A sudden smack to the face had him opening them again. Klaus was blurry but Jeremy could see anger in his eyes.

Then there was a wrist against his mouth. He could smell copper and had a feeling it was coming from the wrist and not his own arm. He opened his mouth and felt the thick liquid start to roll down his throat. He closed his eyes again. This time to try and pretend he was drinking something other then what he was actually drinking.

He could Klaus's blood working on him. There was a small pull on his cheek as the skin worked itself back together. His arm there was a little more of a pull but the pain was receding. So he just let himself relax and zone out.

He must have fallen asleep because he suddenly came to because of a small bumping motion. He tried to jump to his feet only to be held tight against something solid. It took a minute for the fog of sleep to break away. When it did he understood he was being held against someone's chest and that person was moving very fast.

He rested against the chest, not returning to sleep, but drifting in and out.

He knew when they reached the house because whoever was holding him slowed and gently placed Jeremy on his feet.

He was surprised he saw it was Klaus that had carried him. The vampire still had anger to his eyes and Jeremy hoped it was aimed at Mikael and not him. The others stood behind Klaus. Jeremy was glad to see both Kol and Elijah looked better. But he didn't see Rebekah. HE looked around trying to figure out where she was but there was no sign of the female original.

As they entered the house, Elijah approached Jeremy and hugged him. Jeremy was a little thrown but he returned the hug.

When Elijah let go Kol came over and gave Jeremy a firm squeeze on the shoulder. He own way of saying Thank you.

"Who killed the witch?" Klaus asked from next to behind his brothers.

"ummm." Jeremy knew he had a guilty look on his face. Klaus took a step towards him and on instinct Jeremy took on back. He stumbled against someone. Two hands came to Jeremy shoulders steading him. The hands stayed resting on his shoulders.

"Jeremy?" Elijah asked from next to him, making Jeremy realize that it was Kol holding him.

"Rebekah." Jeremy whispered.

"What?" Kol asked.

"Well you guys where all gone, and I needed help, so I kind of un-daggered Rebekah." He studied to ground.

"It is a good thing he did too, or father would have killed us all." Rebekah said as she entered the house.

Jeremy was happy to see her. He was glad she was okay.

The four siblings all stood silent, tension rolling off each them. All waiting to see how Rebekah and Klaus where going to react. Time seemed to slow down and when it became clear that on one was going to move. Jeremy huffed and walked out of the room.

Let the damn vampires deal with each other, he was starving. He wasn't in the small kitchen to long before he could hear an augment break out, no doubt Rebekah and Klaus fighting over Klaus daggering her. The other two vampires were probably staying out of it, but in the same room to stop the siblings from trying to hurt each other.
