A/N: This chapter is way shorter than the last and for that I apologise. I wanted to get this out tonight instead of tomorrow but Ijust couldn't write all day becasue I was reeling in the excitement of getting my GCSE results. And I got the grades I wanted so that made me very happy. Anyway I hope you like this chapter. I can't believe it's chapter 21 already. It feels like yesterday I started writing this. Okay enough of the Author's Note. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own the Twilight Saga or the Vampire Diaries.

Chapter 21

Victoria POV

Since Viktor arrived, I have to admit things around here have improved dramatically. We now have 20 newborns ready to train for our army. The number may dwindle which is expected as they may fight amongst themselves. But that doesn't matter, they are easily replaceable.

"Mistress…" I was pulled out of my musings by the pathetic voice of Sara.

"What do you want?" I snarl at her and watch in satisfaction as she cowers beneath my gaze. I smirk at her.

"It's about the Swan girl…" She trails off looking nervously at me. I growl in frustration. "Jennifer and Rory discovered that she may have a brother."

"May have?" I raise an eyebrow questioningly.

"They're not sure but they saw another person in the house you sent them to. His name is Riley…That's all they got before the wolves came and they had to flee. Rory is helping Jennifer re-attach her arm."

"Damn it… We have to be more careful…" I mutter under my breath. I glance back at Sara and glare at her. "Go get me Viktor." The girl hesitates. "NOW!" I shout and she scuttles off in search of the vampire.

"Are you going to kidnap him?" Viktor asked once I've explained what my newborns found out today.

"Why would I do that? It's the girl I want, not her relatives."

"Are you that stupid?" He pins me against the wall by my neck which I am unable to escape from. He's pressing down on my windpipe and I can't speak. "She'll come back if something happens to him! And so will the Cullen's if we allow the seer to catch a glimpse of it in one of her visions!"

"Oh." I managed to choke out and he lets go of me. He turns and slowly walks away from me and I try to attack him. I hate it when he makes me feel like a lesser vampire. I can kill him if I wanted to. But he quickly spins around and throws me back, my body crashing through a wall. I jump up and brush the debris off me and scowl at him.

"I'm older than you Victoria and I have a lot more fighting experience." He pauses and glares at me. "DO NOT CROSS ME!" He shouts and I flinch back away from him.

With that he pushes me out of the way and heads out of the warehouse. Where he's going, I have no bloody idea. And I don't want to know.

Isabella POV

"Jeremy, we need to talk." I say, appearing in his bedroom and sitting on his bed. He swivelled around on his chair, taking his headphones out his ears.

"What do you want Isabella?" He sighs, raising his eyebrows in question. I smiled, glad that he was actually talking to me and not ignoring me like I expected him to.

"I want to make things right. I want to tell you everything. Just ask anything and I'll answer truthfully, I promise." He nods in agreement and sits in front of me, crossed legged on the bed.

He asked me about how I turned, why I came to this town and what was going on with the tomb. In return I told him all about what happened to Vicki and how Elena made Damon ccompel Jeremy to make him forget everything. By the end of our conversation, he was still pretty pissed at his sister for keeping all of this from him and getting his memories altered. I guess I should feel guilty for making things worse between them but it was Elena's damn fault for not being truthful to her family in the first place. I can understand not telling him but when he found out on his own, she should've helped him through it instead of taking the easy way out.

"So Vicki's dead?" He asked sadly.

"Yes, she is." I replied, placing my hand on his shoulder for comfort. He gave me a wary smile. "She was going to hurt you and Elena."

"Damon didn't have to turn her."

"No he didn't." I sigh, thinking of my older brother. "He was angry at the time and bored. And I know that it isn't a good enough excuse but it is the only one I can give you. He does feel bad about it although he would never admit that to anyone in a million years."

"Then how do you know?" He wondered.

"He told me that night I first met you. He usually tells me things that he would never tell other people. I'm the only person Damon really trusts."

My cell phone beeped, signalling that I have text. I read it and huffed in annoyance.

"What is it?"

"I have to go. I'll explain later." I say, standing up.

"You're coming back?" He questions, grinning at me.

"Of course." I kiss him on the cheek and jump out of the window, wondering why the hell I just did that.

Stefan POV

"Three bodies have turned up. All disguised as animal attacks." I say, leaning against the wall, facing Sheila, Bonnie's grandmother.

"Except they're not." Damon says through the open window. Sheila doesn't trust him enough to actually let him inside but since he needs to be a part of this conversation, she's allowed him to lean through her window. I laughed at this but Damon wasn't very happy.

"It's Anna. She's living up to her promise…which is why we're here." Isabella adds from her position besides Damon. Sheila was wary about inviting her in too but Isabella didn't want Damon to be alone so she stayed outside with him.

"You want to open the tomb, don't you?" Bonnie asks while her grandmother stays surprisingly silent.

"Yes." Elena says sitting down next to her best friend.

"If we can make a deal with Anna, we could get her to leave town once she's got her mother." I tell them. "Then we can burn the rest of the vampires or just seal the tomb up again."

"It takes a lot of power." Sheila shakes her, looking like she was deciding whether to help us or not.

"You're actually considering this?" Bonnie looked at her grandmother in surprise. Sheila nodded.

"People are dying. We have to stop her." Elena states while taking a hold of Bonnie's hand.

"So are you gonna help us or not?" Damon asks his usual smirk in place and he raises an eyebrow, staring at both Bennett's. "Cause I'm kinda busy."

I shoot him a glare and he backs off with his hands in the air and his eyes wide. Isabella giggles and I roll my eyes at her.

"Yes, we'll help you." Sheila looks at all of us before settling her eyes on my brother. "But you have to promise that you'll burn the rest of the vampires in that tomb because we may not be able to seal it again."

"Great." Damon claps his hands together, still smirking.

"Promise." Sheila demands then narrows her eyes at him.

"We promise." I say knowing that Damon wouldn't say anything. She seemed happy with my answer.

We said our goodbyes and left. Isabella offered to go talk to Anna but neither Damon nor I wanted her to go talk to her alone. She made a good point though; Anna may feel like we're ganging up on her and not actually trust us. So against our better judgement we let her go alone. Let's just hope we made the right decision.

Isabella POV

"I told you I'd be back." I smile, leaning against his wall next to his window. Jeremy looks up from where he is sketching on his bed.

"I believed you."

I walked over to him and grabbed his arms, pulling him up to stand. He dropped his sketch pad on the bed and looked at me confused.

"What are you doing?"

"You are coming with me." He stares curiously at me, waiting for an explanation. "I have to go meet Anna to make her a deal. I called her and apparently she doesn't trust me so she told me to bring you along. And I know it's dangerous but I'll take care of you."

"I'm not scared." He replied shaking his head at me. "I'm more surprised that you're actually involving me in something. I thought you'd refuse in order to 'protect' me."

"Well I would have. But this is the only chance I've got. She needs to get out of town and the only way she'll do that is if she has her mother." I clarify. "Plus, it'll piss Elena off and that's always fun."

"Why do you hate my sister so much?"

"I don't hate her." He raises and eyebrow, not believing me. "I just dislike her. I just don't trust her and no matter how many times she refuses it, she's more like Katherine than she realises and I'm scared that both my brother's will fall for her. I don't want history repeating itself."

"Katherine? The vampire that force fed you her blood that enabled you to turn?"

"Yes...look Jer, I haven't told you the whole story but that's because it would mean telling you how my brother's became vampires."

"And why can't you tell me that?"

"It's their story. It's their choice if they want to tell you or not and I have to respect that. Although you'll probably find out bits and pieces as time goes on." I explain while just wanting him to drop the subject. "So are you coming or what?"

"Sure."

I grinned at him and dragged him out of his room, making sure no one else was in the house. I didn't want to get caught sneaking him out. Especially by Elena or Stefan. They'd never let me take Jeremy along with me.

"I want Jeremy to come into the tomb with me." Anna declares, smirking at me.

"No!" I refuse to let him go in there with her not after she had specifically said she doesn't want any other vampires following her in there.

"To bad. Looks like there's going to be more 'animal attacks' in this town."

I growl at her, wanting to rip her throat out. However, I couldn't do that. She was older than me and much more powerful so I knew I wouldn't be able to take her. And that would also leave Jeremy defenceless. It turns out Anna didn't kill Ben and he could harm Jeremy if I attacked her.

"Isabella, it's ok." He smiles gently at me then turns to Anna, a hard look setting on his features. "I'll do it."

"Good. I don't want those witches trapping me in there. I can't trust them."

"Don't worry, they won't." Jeremy says, sounding unsure.

"They'll uphold their side of the bargain as long as you uphold yours." I glare at her. "Leave town as soon as you get you mother. And no killing anyone else."

"Done."

A/N: Okay, first things first; I didn't actually mean to make Anna evil but it kind of fits and I needed a villain. Second of all, and even though I created this situuation, I sort of feel sorry for Victoria. Which makes no sense since I was the one to make Viktor and made him be a complete jerk. And lastly, the next chapter will be the opening of the tomb. Finally! It shall also be a long chapter and I am looking forward to writing it. I will start on it tomorrow because right now, I really want to go to bed. Anywho, I'd love to hear your thoughts so leave me a review! Thanks.
