I climbed out of the shower and dried myself off. Ok, the pain in my shoulder was almost gone. It must be healing, although it did look... blacker. I went into the bedroom and threw on a vest top, black jeans and runners. I grabbed my phone and dialled Caroline; it went straight to her voicemail.

"Hey Care; I just wanted to ask your opinion on something. One of the Hybrids bit me and it doesn't hurt but it doesn't look good. I was just wondering if you know how long it'll take to heal. Ring me back when you get this. Thanks."

I hung up the phone and sat there for a moment. I fought off a yawn, I hadn't realised how tired I was. I lay back down on the bed and fell asleep instantly.

Third Person POV:

Damon's car pulled up outside the boarding house. Stefan was quiet in the passenger seat beside him while Caroline talked to her mother on her phone in the back. He was just glad to be home, his bed was calling to him. He looked at the clock on the dash and sighed. It was only just gone midnight, on a weekend, and he wanted to go to bed. He really felt his age tonight.

The three of them climbed out and headed inside. Caroline finally hung up the phone from her mother for which Damon was slightly relieved. He felt like she had been talking for hours. As he opened the front door he heard Caroline tell Stefan that she had a voicemail from Jennifer.

Damon froze, sniffing the air. Blood, he could smell blood and a lot of it. Using his speed he followed the smell to the basement. The fridge where they stored the blood bags was open, and countless empty bags lay around it. Something wasn't right here. He turned to head back up and saw Stefan standing behind him, Stefan's eyes were glued to the blood spilled on the ground, his eyes started to change. Damon just grabbed him by the arm and they both ran back to Caroline. She was in the sitting room staring at her phone. She raised her eyes to meet Damon's.

Damon was immediately standing in front of her, "What is it? What's wrong?" he demanded.

Her voice came out choked. "It's Jennifer. She wanted to know how long did it take a bite from a hybrid to heal properly, apparently she got bit during the fight." As she finished the sentence tears started flowing down her face, but Damon and Stefan ignored that and they all ran to Jennifer's room. As they entered they slowed down, the bed had been destroyed. The mirrors in the room shattered and there were holes in the walls. In the middle of the room, among the debris Stefan noticed a frame. He picked it up shaking the broken glass out of the way. Three pair of eyes looked down at the picture of Jennifer and her parents.

"We have to find her, before someone on the council does. Or before she does something she'll regret." Caroline was already on her way out, she had to find her friend. If anything happened... Caroline thought about Jennifer, about all she had been through. About what she could be going through right now?

Damon and Stefan didn't need to be told twice, they followed the normally bubbly blonde vampire outside. Caroline turned to Stefan and Damon,

"I'm going to check at her parents' house. I'll ring my mom on the way; get her to keep an eye out. One of you go check out the town, Damon you do that."

Damon took off running, they would be faster without their cars right now and they couldn't waste a second. Caroline spoke quickly to Stefan, "I'm sorry Stefan, but you're going to have to go to Klaus. Do whatever he wants short of giving him Elena; tell him I'll do whatever he wants either. Just get us his blood."

With a doubtful look on his face Stefan took off in the direction of Klaus's mansion and Caroline took off in the opposite direction, towards Jennifer's.

Matt and Jeremy were both sitting on stools at the Grille, the place was pretty quiet with only one other customer and the bar man still here. They were talking about all the crap that was going on in their lives when the door flung open. All eyes turned towards the newcomer. Jeremy and Matt jumped from their stools.

"Jennifer... are you alright?"

Jennifer stood there, her breathing was ragged and she was covered in sweat. But what had both boys so worried, was her face. Her eyes had changed, as had the area around them and her teeth were very long. This was the face of a very angry looking vampire, with nothing on her face but hunger and hate. Her eyes were darting around the room as she let out a snarl. That was when Jeremy noticed her shoulder. The horrible bite that was black with more black lines running from it. He grabbed Matt's arm, stopping him from getting closer to Jennifer.

"Matt, stop. Don't get closer." He warned.

Matt was more confused as he looked from Jennifer to Jeremy, "What are you talking Jer?"

Jeremy nodded at her wound, "That's a wolf bite. Do you remember what happens to a vampire that gets bitten?"

Just then Jennifer let out a roar, "Damon Salvatore! Where is he?"

Jeremy put his hands up in front of him, "He's not here. Jennifer, do you recognise me?"

In the time it took the two boys to blink Jennifer had moved across the bar and pulled the woman sitting there to her feet. The woman's scream was cut short when Jennifer pulled back the girls head and sunk her teeth into her neck. Jeremy started moving towards them but Jennifer dropped the girl and ran to the barman who seemed to be frozen in fear.

She held him in front of her while Matt checked on the wounded girl. She was alive but only just. Jeremy turned his attention to Jennifer.

"Jennifer... you don't want to do this!"

He noticed Jennifer's eyes were still darting around the place and she seemed to be muttering to herself. It didn't make sense and he could only pick up some words. "... My fault... mom don't... sorry..."

Then she focused on Jeremy, "Get Damon Salvatore or I kill you all..."

Just as Jeremy was getting his phone out the door flung open behind him, Damon and Liz walked in. Liz ran straight to Matt and the girl while Damon walked towards Jennifer, who threw the barman towards Jeremy, then rushed at Damon, attacking him.

"You killed them... this... everything... it's all your fault!" she screamed at him.

He threw her off him and she landed at the bar. Damon looked around at the others, he didn't know what to do. He didn't want to hurt her but she clearly wanted to kill him and hurt others so he had to stop her. He would have to break her neck he realised, it would give him enough time to get her back to the boarding house.

However, the time it took for him to decide on this was all the time it took Jennifer to snap the leg of a barstool. Screaming she lunged again at Damon, he tried to dodge her attack but wasn't quite fast enough and he felt the wood slide into his stomach. He fell to his knees as Jennifer prepared to finish him once and for all.

Jennifer didn't get to do it as Liz, seeing no other choice, pulled out her gun and started firing at Jennifer. They weren't wooden bullets so they wouldn't kill her. Liz was just hoping they slowed her down enough so they could stop her. As the second bullet tore into Jennifer she ran from the grill.

Stefan stood in front of Klaus, who at this moment was laughing at him. Klaus was still sitting in the chair beside the fire. He had been reading when Stefan came in and didn't bother to stand.

"And why would I want to give you my blood?" Klaus sneered.

"You saved her once Klaus..." Stefan begged, "... Please. You're the only one who can save her now. We'll do anything you ask."

Klaus was suddenly standing in front of Stefan, no longer laughing. "I was feeling charitable that day. Also that was before she went and killed two of my hybrids. So I'm afraid it's been a wasted journey mate."

Klaus could see the anger mixed with desperation on Stefan's face but it just made him laugh again. Klaus turned his back on Stefan and went back to his book. Stefan realised he was getting nowhere and ran from Klaus's house, from the laughing and from their only hope of saving Jennifer. As soon as Stefan was gone the laughing stopped and the smile dropped from his mouth. He grabbed his jacket and left the house not long after Stefan, not noticing the hybrid who had been listening in on the entire conversation.

Jennifer was leaning against a tree in the woods. She had tried to dig the bullets out, but they were buried too deep in her body. She was starting to feel very tired, her muscles felt weak and she wanted nothing more than to lie down and sleep. Unfortunately between the pain coursing through her body and the voices that kept shouting at her she knew it wouldn't be possible.

She was cutting through the woods to her parent's house when suddenly there was a man standing in front of her.

"Well don't you look like crap." He smirked at her. Jennifer watched his movements warily. She recognised him, he was one of the hybrids. He took a step closer to her,

"So, you're the bitch that killed Lisa and John." He growled at her. In her mind she saw the faces of the two hybrids she had killed and guessed that they were who he was talking about. He was still talking.

"Well, it appears that you're no longer on the list of people we aren't allowed to touch. I had to see this for myself. I've never seen a vamp die from a wolf bite before. I hear it's very painful."

He was almost laughing now as he stepped closer, when he was a few feet from her his face started to change, his eyes turning black and yellow. Jennifer closed her eyes and waited. She just wanted the voices and pain to go away. She didn't want to kill anybody. This was probably for the best.

"You don't look so good sweetheart."

Her eyes snapped open. They hybrid was lying dead at her feet, with Nik standing above the body.
