Derrick threw Morgan over his shoulder and sped off deep into the woods. Jeremy noticed and called out.
"Morgan! Morg…."
Jason took advantage of the distraction and launched his fangs onto Jeremy's neck. He fell back and into Jason's arms. Maddox heard the screams and shot out of bed. He turned on the outside light and ran out the door; Jason sped by with Jeremy in his arms. Maddox grabbed his flashlight to try and figure out what just flew by him. As he searched he found his car door open and Morgan's phone on the ground. He called Klaus right away and told him everything.
Morgan's P.O.V.
I woke up in an old, oversized R.V. A rat suddenly appeared and quickly scampered across my legs. I screamed. Okay, yeah, I know, I'm half werewolf, half vampire and yet I scream at the site of a rat. I can't help it, I find them totally disgusting. No one bothers to check on me. I could be dead now for all they knew. I sigh as I stand and notice my cousin, Jeremy. He's sitting across the way in the corner. He is bleeding and looks really weak. I run over to him.
"Jer! Jer! It's Morgan, can you hear me?" I call out to him.
He mumbles something but it's not very audible even with my perfect hearing. I could tell he had been bitten by a werewolf. My dad told me to never do what I'm about to do without his approval; but, I didn't exactly have much of a choice. I puncture my wrist in order to feed and heal my dying cousin.
"Jer, here, drink this."
I get in position and place my arm to his mouth for him to drink. He begins right away and takes a lot in. It feels like he can't get enough.
"Jeremy! What the hell?" I ask as I am finally able to pry my arm away.
"I'm sorry. That was…ohh, wow, I'm sorry," he rattled on before falling back against the wall of the R.V. and taking it all in.
"Yeah, okay, whatever."
I'm not normally that irritable towards my cousin but I was having a really bad night; and as I could see the light from the sun rise shine through the small window, it would soon not be the best of days either. It suddenly hit me that I should try to make contact with my dad again. I could sense Jeremy was healing so I didn't have to worry about him. I sat down and focused as well as I could. I just have to focus on my dad's wolf in order to make the connection. I sat down right where I stood and put myself into a yoga butterfly pose. I'm trying to get some sense of what is around me first.
"Daddy….trapped in R.V. with Jeremy, I hear streaming water nearby, redwoods, jasmine, I smell jasmine."
I'm suddenly interrupted when the door opens and my Uncle Derrick walks in.
"God Damn it! Jazz! You told me she would be knocked out cold," my Uncle shouted out.
I attempt to get up and make a run for it but Jeremy is still weak and my uncle takes full advantage. He grabbed Jeremy by the head.
"If you don't cooperate and do exactly as you are told, I'll rip his head clean off."
I had no choice. I don't reply verbally; but, I do hold out my hand to him as a sign that I would go wherever he took me. He smiles at me but it's not at all warm and friendly; it's creepy and perverted, almost evil.
"Good girl," he tells me.
Yuck, he nauseates me. We walk a ways before we stop by the river and he tells me to sit. For the sake of my cousin, I obey. He sits directly in front of me in the warm sun and just stares at me. I stare back at him. I find myself almost lost in his eyes. I would say they are almost like the color of indigo. I then look at his strong jaw line, his full lips, and his perfect nose. How can someone so beautiful be so cruel and ugly inside? I find myself asking this question and getting lost in thought.
"Morgan! Morgan focus!" My uncle yells at me.
I try to understand what is happening. How are my thoughts so dazed and now so lucid? Someone is messing with my thoughts; but, it can't be my uncle because he is telling me to focus. I realize it must be my dad. He is distracting me in however way he can so that I can't focus on my uncle's commands. I realize now that my uncle can't control me. Even better, I sense with every fiber of my being that Jeremy is healed and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. I gladly give him the opportunity.
"No! I will NOT focus! You cannot tell me what to do!" I scream in defiance.
I guess I made my uncle a tad angry because before I knew what was happening he slapped me really hard across the face. It was so hard I flew back a few feet. This in turn really pissed me off. I am about to attack back when I hear my father's words.
"Cower to him; let him think he is in control. Make your escape with Jeremy after dusk. Trust me…"
I stop myself immediately and lower my head.
"Uncle Derrick, I'm sorry, please forgive me. I will do whatever you want."
He was about to strike at me again; but, once I lowered my head to him and apologized he pulled back. He took a deep breath and kneeled down to me. He lifted my chin to inspect any damage he may have caused.
"Good, nothing broken. You are a strong girl. I don't like having to punish you. Please don't make me do that again."
Talk about Jeckle and Mr. Hyde I think to myself. Now, he's suddenly trying to be sweet? At this point I decide to stop trying to figure him out and just get through the day. The hours go by and Derrick won't let me out of his site. How I'm ever going to get enough leeway to get a good start ahead I have no idea. The day drags on. I'm walking right next to Derrick as he is doing whatever it is he does with his pack, I'm not paying much attention. I'm trying to think of an escape.
Suddenly I sense my wolf being called on. I tune in, it's Jeremy.
"How are you talking to me?" My wolf asks him.
"Because apparently now I'm part wolf, my body has been transitioning all day."
"Ooo, so that's why my dad told me not to feed anyone without his okay, umm sorry?"
"Sigh, look, we will talk about it later. Right now we need to get out of here."
"You are going to have to turn into your wolf. I can do it but I'm worried about you. You never turned before; it's a bit difficult at first."
"I can do it; I can feel him stirring inside me. Once the sun goes down I'll transition, make my way out of this crap hole and you and I will make a run for it. I overheard a couple of the guys talking about the ceremony they plan on doing with you and Derrick. It'll bond you two together. From what I understood, you know the saying following him or her around like a love sick puppy? Well, it'll be kinda like that.
"Oh wow, okay. You know, I am getting sick to my stomach thinking about this; but, I think the plan I have will get us further out before the pack notices…."
I watch the sun go down. Derrick and I are alone for a moment and I take advantage. I close my eyes and think about Tyler and how incredibly sexy he is; how much I miss him. I channel my sexual energy for him into what I must do now to get myself and Jeremy out. I grab hold of Derrick's hand as he was about to walk away.
"Uncle Derrick?" I call his name seductively.
He turns around and just looks at me with curiosity. I bite my bottom lip and bat my eyes in his direction. I run my fingers across my chest and step closer to him.
"Uncle Derrick, can I talk to you in private?"
I can see his perverted mind stirring and I have no doubt how much he wants to be inside me. I swallow the bile that rummages up into my throat. He doesn't have to think long about it.
"Sure, we can talk over here."
He takes my hand and we walk over to an area that is a bit secluded from the pack.
"What is it?" He asks me sweetly.
I take a deep breath and step closer to him. I put my hands on his chest. I catch myself being impressed with his huge, chiseled muscles. I quickly get myself to focus on my mission.
"I'm not sure how to really ask you."
"Just ask me. You can ask me or tell me anything," he says kindly as he moves part of my hair out of my eyes.
"I…I was wondering if…."
"It's okay, just say it."
"Will you take my virginity before the ceremony?"
"Why?"
"Because it's my way of showing you that it's real. You know, that I really want to be with you and not because of a bonding ceremony."
"I don't know…"
"Ohh please."
I give him the real big puppy dog eyes look. The look that has gotten me out of trouble many times with both my dad's; and a couple times with my uncle Elijah.
"Please Uncle Derrick, I want you so bad."
I close my eyes and think of Tyler. I take Derricks hand and lead it forward to my womanhood to prove how "wet n ready" I am for him. He is so incredibly close to me. I started off thinking about Tyler; but I smell Derricks scent and something unexpected is happening. He smells so unbelievably amazing. I find myself kissing his neck and then he's kissing my lips. I'm kissing him back. What is happening to me? Focus Morgon!
"Wait, not here. Can we go into the forest for more privacy?"
"Why don't we just go in my room?"
"I..I just always imagined my first time being under the stars. Please, I hear the first time is always the most memorable. It'll make it extra special."
I bat my eyes up at him again and wait for his answer. He looks into my eyes as if he's searching for something he lost.
"Alright, I can do that for you," he smiles.
I walk with him into the forest. The plan so far is working. I am so utterly sick to my stomach yet totally turned on at the same time. Maybe I'm turned on due to the excitement of the plan. The idea of escaping, the adrenaline of it all; I have no idea. I have to re-focus in order to escape.
My uncle starts kissing me, feeling me up everywhere. I'm so confused; I have so many different emotions running through my body at once I begin to cry a bit. He stops and looks at me tenderly, wiping a few fallen tears from my face.
"Why are you crying? This was your idea," my uncle enquired.
"I guess I'm just a little scared, that's all."
He smiled at me, "I see. It'll be okay, I promise. The first time I'll be very gentle with you."
Before I could respond someone had quickly grabbed me and was carrying me far away from Derrick. It was my Uncle Elijah. Jeremy was running right beside us. I could hear Derrick starting to yell then suddenly I heard nothing. We make it to Maddox's SUV and we all get in. Uncle Elijah gets up front as Jeremy and I are in the back. We wait for a moment then out of nowhere my dad suddenly appears right next to me. Everything was happening so fast. My dad shut the car door and Maddox took off.
"Uncle Derrick, he'll come after me," I say out loud in a panic.
"No baby, he won't," comforted my dad, "it took a bit to stage but we found a werewolf from another pack. A rival of theirs; the pack will assume it was their enemy who kidnapped you and Jeremy and killed Derrick. They will be too busy with revenge to come looking for us."
"So Uncle Derrick is really dead?" I asked in disbelief.
"Yes, he is really dead. He can't hurt you ever again."
It took a minute to sink in but I trusted my father's words. I just start crying from relief. I cry in my dad's arms until we reach our cabin. I feel a lot calmer once we are stopped. Maddox turned around in his chair and handed me a tissue and a warm smile. I wipe my tears away and scoot up to give Maddox a hug as best as we can with the driver's seat in our way. Uncle Elijah gets out and opens Jeremy's door.
Jeremy looked around, "Where is Elena?"
"She is staying with Stefan and Damon. Are you driving back with me?"
Jeremy nodded and got out and transferred to the other car as my dad moved up to the front seat. We drove straight home. My dad handed me back my phone. I sent a text to Jeremy.
'Did you ever turn into your wolf?' I ask.
'No, I chickened out.'
'Don't feel bad. My dad and I will guide you through. When are you going to tell your dad?'
'I was hoping we could tell him together.'
'Okay….'
Three hours later we get home and the first thing I do is take a really, really long shower. After that I crashed in bed but two hours later I woke up in a panic. I kept having nightmares. After the third time I woke I made my way into both my dads room. Maddox was sleeping on the side closest to the door.
"Maddox?" I whisper, "Maddox?"
He stirs a bit then notices me.
"What is it baby? Are you okay?"
"No, I keep having nightmares. Can I sleep with you?"
He smiles warmly, "of course."
Maddox scoots closer to the middle next to my dad and holds the covers up to welcome me in. I snuggle in and get close to my second dad. He holds me in his arms and I feel so safe. I fall right to sleep and stayed asleep.
I woke the next morning when the sun light shined through the bedroom window. I found myself alone in bed but I could smell breakfast cooking. I make my way downstairs as I pull my hair back into a pony tail. I go into the kitchen and find not only both my dads but Uncle Elijah and Jeremy.
"Is everything okay?" I asked concerned about Jeremy.
"Its fine," Jeremy answered, "I was just feeling anxious and I was hoping we could tell our parents what happened."
Everyone is looking at me with much anticipation. I generally prefer to eat breakfast before getting into any deep conversations; but, the way I was being stared upon, I knew I had to explain right away. I took a deep breath.
"Well, Jer had gotten bitten again by a werewolf. It was pretty bad and he was fading really fast."
I started to cry for some reason, I guess I didn't want both my dads and my uncle to be upset with me.
"Baby, did you heal Jeremy with your own blood?" My dad asked softly.
I shook my head yes as I looked down at my blue toenail polished feet. Maddox and my dad knew what it meant; but, my Uncle Elijah was a bit lost. My dad lifted my chin and smiled at me. He then looked over at Jeremy and assessed his feelings. He gave him a big smile and a wink. Jeremy smiled back.
"Princess, you saved Jeremy's life. It'll take a little to adjust to but he's okay with it."
"I am cous, I promise," Jeremy added. "I'm just not sure how you feel about it dad." He asked looking away from Morgan and directly to Elijah.
"Could someone please fill me in," Uncle Elijah asked.
"Well, Elijah, it would appear that your son is now a bit more like Morgan and me."
"How? I mean, it didn't happen when you healed him."
'That's because my blood is merely the cure. Morgan's blood is the binding element. She was born directly part vampire and part werewolf; and from two parents who are originals. When I was born, I only had part werewolf in me. It wasn't until much later when we were turned into vampires was I a hybrid," my dad explained.
"Are you upset with me Uncle Elijah?" I asked nervously.
"Come here baby girl."
I made my way over to the other side of the room. Elijah held me in his arms and hugged me close. He pulled me away and looked me directly in my eyes.
"How could I be upset with you? You are a hero. My son is alive and from what I can tell very healthy," Elijah looked over at Jeremy, "and the fact that he is standing next to us and smiling at me," he paused as tears formed in his eyes, "well, you brought my son back to me. He and Elena are my life." He then looked at Jeremy. "Jer, why would I be upset? I love you no matter what."
Jeremy and I were both relieved that our parents didn't totally freak out. We would also have a lot of soul searching to do; but, with a family like ours, I knew we would both be fine.
