Chapter 40

#$#%$#%$

Two days had gone by since the funeral for Jenna and John. Nothing was okay, but everyone was trying their best to move on with their lives. To help do that, Elena, Caroline, and Becca had decided that they all needed to have a normal day, and what better way to have a normal day then do watching Gone With The Wind in the town square like they did every year. Becca had stayed with Jeremy through out the night, and Carol understood and let her. They had told the counsel that a vampire had killed both Jenna and John Gilbert, but the Salvatore brothers had stakes said vampire before it could hurt anyone else.

To the town's people of Mystic Falls, Jenna and John Gilbert died in a terrible accident that left two teenagers on their own. Since Elena was almost eighteen, and Alaric had offered to stay with them until she was eighteen, if not longer if they needed him to, they were allowed to stay in their home together. Once all the papers were settled, they started their day of normalcy. Jeremy, who Elena and Becca both had tied into coming with them, Elena and Becca, were all setting up their blankets for the movie night.

Becca and Jeremy had brought their own blanket to sit on just for them while Elena had brought one for herself, Caroline, and Bonnie to share. Caroline had soon joined them all and went to helping Elena set up their sheet while Jeremy and Becca set up their own a little further down from them. "So is it finally happening? Becca and Jeremy are together?" Caroline asked her friend as they glanced over at the two in question. Becca had gushed to Elena the night before. She wanted to give Elena a break, but she had encouraged her to tell her, saying that it would get her mind off of everything.

They watched as Jeremy and Becca were trying, and failing, to set rocks down on each of the corners of their sheet. The two girls smiled at the sight of Becca giving up and tossing her part of the sheet up in frustration. Jeremy was laughing at her, which made her jump him, sending them both down onto the sheet laughing their heads off. The girls 'awwed' as Jeremy brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear and took a kiss from their friend. "That would answer you question, I'm guessing. He loves her, Caroline, and she loves him. After all they've both been through, they deserve it the most, and I wouldn't want him to love anyone else anyways. She's perfect for him. She's just what he needs after everything." She told her blond vampire friend as they finished up with their own sheet.

Caroline nodded her head, agreeing completely with her doppelganger friend. She was honestly happy for her best friend, even if she was heart broken because Matt finally ended it completely with them, she was still happy that her best friend finally got the guy she's been in love with for years. "I think we just have to see the good in all of this. I mean, you and Becca went through hell, my mom knows that I'm a vampire now, and Matt wants nothing to do with me, but we survived the war. Jeremy and Becca are finally together, you and Stefan are still as lovey dovey as ever, and I have my best friends all still and breathing. We're happy, let's enjoy that." Caroline told her as she helped Elena take out some of the food. Elena was just happy to see the two younger teens both acting like a normal couple would. She was even more happy to see her brother happy. He deserved it more than anyone else she knew. He's lost everyone because of her, and she was just happy that he still had Becca.

Over at Becca and Jeremy's sheet, she had given up. Every time that she would go to put the rock down, the sheet would fly away from her. Jeremy had finally suggested that she sit on the edge of the sheet while he put the rock down on it. "It's just an evil sheet, Jere. I've decided this." She told him as she got comfortable on the edge of the sheet while he got the rock back from where she had tossed it. He chuckled as he shook his head at her as he moved back toward her and their sheet.

He put down the rock and stood over Becca, both on their knees as they kneeled in front of the other. She craned her neck to meet his eyes, a playful smile on both of their faces. He chuckled upon seeing her bite her bottom lip with an innocent look that wasn't so innocent. "And I've decided that I need to kiss you." He whispered to her before he leaned down and captured her lips. He just couldn't get over the excitement and happiness her kisses gave him. He could feel the love for her in the tips of his toes when he touched her.

He cupped her face in his hand, deepening the kiss between them as his other hand pulled her closer. She giggled as he kissed her neck. She heard cheering close by and blushed when she saw Elena and Caroline watching them. She pushed him back slightly and laughed at his pout. "My mom's bound to be around here somewhere, Jere, and so is Tyler. I might love you, but I doubt he will love you too if he sees you making out with me in front of the whole town." She told him as she got comfortable on the sheet.

Jeremy rolled his eyes, but didn't argue as he slid onto the sheet behind her. He slipped his arms around her waist and pulled her against his chest. She smiled happily as she entwined her fingers with his and laid her head back onto his shoulder. Jeremy looked back at his sister and her blond friend to see them giving him a thumbs up motion. He rolled his eyes but suddenly tensed up when Stefan appeared. He looked more worried if anything. That could never be good.

Elena shot him a look to relax as she got up and followed Stefan off to talk somewhere more private. Caroline stayed to watched over their spot and make sure no one took it while it was empty. Bonnie had come over while Elena was talking to Stefan. She shot them an excited look as she sat down next to Caroline. Jeremy rolled his eyes again at them and turned his attention back to the girl in his arms. He rested his head on top of her head and smiled. He glad to finally have her as his girlfriend. It fit deep down, and he was finally realizing that. "Do you remember the time you hit that kid for pulling on my pink tails?" She broke the silence as she looked up at him.

He chuckled as he looked down at her with an amused expression. He had to wonder where that sudden and random thought had come from. He did remember what time she was talking about though. "What was that? Third grade? If I remember right, I would have gotten suspended if it wasn't for your dad stepping in." He laughed back to her as he remembered the day. She looked up at him with a bright smile as she remembered that day just as clearly.

'A seven year old Becca was all alone on the playground, letting her feet dangle as she sat on the edge of the structure. Her best friend Caroline was in a higher grade, as were her other two friends Elena and Bonnie, and so was her big brother, so they were all in a different lunch then her. Jeremy Gilbert was the only one who really played with her at recess, but he had started a food fight with some other kid had lunch and was being held in the office for a few minutes.

She did have other friends to play with, but she didn't want to play kick ball or hopscotch like everyone else. She wanted to play on the playground and have Jeremy push her on the swings like always. "Aw, is little Becca crying? Where's your big bad protector Gildork?" She turned her head up to see one of the older third graders, the only one to actually stay back in their grade, standing behind her. Her eyes widened fearfully as she quickly jumped up from her stop so she wasn't so close to the edge.

She quickly wiped her eyes to make sure she wasn't crying. She was not like the other little girls who cried. She played football with Jeremy, Matt, and her brother Tyler. Caroline had told her that to look strong, she had to act strong. "You started that food fight, Nick, not Jeremy. You should be the one in the office." She told him as she turned to leave, but he wasn't done picking on her. He grabbed her arm pulled her back.

She let out a whimper as he pushed her against the bars to the structure that they were one. Nick was older and a lot bigger then the other third graders, let alone just her. "You know, pink tails are a good look for you, Lockwood. They make you look like the baby you really are." He teased her as he pulled o her hair. Her mom was out of town for a family thing, so her father had had to somehow manage her brown curls this morning. He had done her hair in pink tails and she had loved it just because he had done it.

She whimpered as he started to pull harder on her hair. Where were the recess monitors? Why weren't they coming to help her? "Stop it." She said out softly, but he ignored her as he continued to tease her about her pink tails. "Please stop it. That hurts, Nick." She said out a bit louder to him, but still she went ignored. He finally pulled so hard, she was sure that he had pulled out some of her brown hair. She tried to push him off and leave, but he was just so much bigger then her.

"Hey! Leave her alone!"

She cried out in relief at the sound of her best friend's voice coming closer. Nick finally let go of her hair as Jeremy climbed up onto the structure to get to them. Jeremy was tall for his age, unlike Becca who was short for hers. He was stronger too. "Oh yeah, Gildork? What you gonna do about it if I pull on her hair again?" Nick said out to him before he gave her hair another strong yank, causing her to yelp from the sudden pain.

Jeremy stalked up to them, his tiny fist clenched at his sides as he got closer. He finally reached them both and stood face to face with Nick. "This!" He said out before he pulled back and took a swing at the other boy. Nick went down with a cry of pain as Jeremy waved his hand around. "Don't pull her hair again." He told the boys as the shouts from the recess monitors finally were heard. Becca looked up to see them all fuming as they raced over. Her proud look for her friend slipped away when she realized that they were going to blame Jeremy again.

They told them all to get down from the structure, and they did. Two of Nick's friends helped him back inside to go to the nurse while the recess monitors sent Becca off inside as well. She was crying as she walked inside the school. Jeremy was only helping her, and now he was going to get in even more trouble. She looked up at the sound of her name and saw her brother coming toward her confused. "Tyler!" She called out as she hurried to him. He would surely fix this, wouldn't he? "Tyler, that mean kid Nick was teasing me and pulling on my hair, and . . . and Jeremy came over and hit him. Now they're . . . they're blaming him and it's not fair!" She cried out to her brother as she hugged him.

They saw one of the recess monitors pulling Jeremy inside and down to the office to surely get in more trouble. Tyler, like she knew he would, had fixed everything after that. He was in fifth grade like all their other friends. He had gone down to the office and explained to them that they had the wrong culprit. In the end, Jeremy got off with a warning, Nick got suspended for a day, and her dad had come and gotten her and taken her home for the rest of the day.'

She remembered that day to be the first time that Jeremy had ever really truly saved her. He had always been her hero since that day that, and he still was today. She smiled happily as she laid against Jeremy's chest. Nothing could ruin this day, she had come to realize. It was just her and Jeremy, and that made it perfect. They sat in silence as they just laid out on their sheet and looked up at the clouds. They gazed up at the clouds, trying to tell what form they looked like, for a few hours until the sun had fallen and the stars replaced the clouds.

They laid up when the movie started and found themselves more interested in each other then the movie. Behind them, the two remaining girls had taken to giggling as they saw the young couple making out. The only thing ruining the mood for them, was the waiting for news. Becca and Jeremy finally pulled away from each other when Jeremy's phone went off. He wanted to ignore it and continue making out with his girlfriend, but he knew better then to do that. He sent Becca and apologetic look before answering his phone. "Alaric, hey." He answered softly.

Becca looked back over at Caroline and Bonnie to see them watching her. No doubt Caroline was listening to what ever Alaric was telling Jeremy on the phone. "She went to go see Damon, I think. I thought that was where you were." Jeremy said out confused. Becca looked back over at him confused and worried upon hearing the tone in his voice. Her worry spiked when he jumped to his feet and motioned for the girls to follow him. He hurried to help Becca up as he shut his phone and slid it back into his pocket. He led her away from the movie watchers, Caroline and Bonnie following behind them.

He quickly explained things to the two who hadn't heard the conversation. Becca instantly felt guilty since she knew about the bite and didn't say anything. Caroline had a hunch that he had been bitten, but had chose not to believe it. "If Damon is off the rails, there is nothing we can do to stop him." Bonnie told them. "Let us take care of it." She said to Jeremy and Becca. She didn't want them getting in the cross fire, especially since they were only human.

Jeremy looked ready to fight her on it, but Becca tugged on his arm as she slid in front of him. "You can't keep us from helping this time, Bonnie. I didn't fight you last time, but this time I am. I shouldn't have let you do that, and I know that now. Jenna still died, and I'm sure as hell not going to sit around and wait for Elena to die too, or Damon. Unlike you, I actually care if he dies or not. I'm not going to let you push me around when my friend needs me, and you know that I'd do the same if it were either of you in his place right now." She told her friends off before they could say anything more about it being too dangerous. "Come on, Jere. Lets go look for him." She said out as she grabbed his hand and pushed past her two friends.

Jeremy was impressed with Becca for standing up to Bonnie on her own. He knew that she loved Damon, he was one of her best friends, and he knew that the feelings went both ways with Damon for her. He didn't mind getting replaced in that department, because he was more then just her best friend now, she loved him more then anyone else. Just like he loved her more then anyone else. "I'm going to go look for him over at the gazebo. You go look from the Grill, and before you tell me splitting up is a bad idea, you have perfect view of me, and I have perfect view of you, from both of the spots." She told him before giving him a quick kiss and taking off.

He opened his mouth to protest her plan, but she was already off and out of hearing distance from him. He did as she said and went to go look for Damon in the other direction. He looked back and saw that she was right. He did have a perfect view of her looking around for their friend. Becca was looking everywhere for her friend. She wasn't going to give up the search for him, especially not when he was on the brink of dying.

She was spinning around in search of him when she finally spotted him. He looked ready to drop any second. "Damon!" She said out as she took off toward him. He looked even worse close up. "Damon, hey. Damon, it's me. It's Becca. Do you know who I am?" She asked up him as she cupped his face and forced him to look down at her. His crazy blue eyes finally focused on her and a smile slowly curled on his lips as he recognized her.

She smiled back upon seeing that he recognized her. "Becca?" He said out as he wiped her tear away. He looked ready to drop dead right there and then, yet he still found it in him to be sweet to her. She jumped when she heard Jeremy's voice as he came toward them. He moved around them and stood next to Becca. Damon seemed to return to his determined mind on finding Elena. "Where's Elena? I need to see Elena now." He told Jeremy as he leaned forward.

Jeremy glanced down at the worried Becca to see that she was completely afraid for her friend. They needed to hide him. Alaric had explained to him that sheriff Forbs was out looking for him, ready to kill as Alaric had put it. "Hey, lets get you out of here first, alright?" He said as he moved closer to Damon. The vampire groaned as his side suddenly hurt. Jeremy caught him as he fell against him. Becca lifted up his other arm and the two led him toward the Grill.

They pulled him inside of the Grill as Jeremy got his phone out to call the others to tell them that they found Damon. "Tell them where we are and that we have him. Go wait outside for them." He told her as he handed her the cell phone. She hesitated, but nodded before letting Damon go slowly as she lifted the phone up to her ear. "Hey, it's me. We're with Damon at the Grill." She said into the phone as she hurried to go outside.

She only made it as far as the doorway before they opened and sheriff Forbs appeared, her gun aimed right at her. She motioned for her to back up slowly and to stay quiet. She raised her hands up in surrender as she did as she was told and moved back inside the Grill. Damon slowly turned upon hearing them. He looked at them in confusion as Liz moved around Becca, her gun now aimed at him. She didn't waste a second before pulling the trigger. Damon had moved though and taken off, letting the bullet hit Jeremy right in the chest.

He slowly looked up with a horror filled expression, his eyes meeting a shocked Becca's before he fell to the floor. She screamed out in horror before hurrying over to his side. She cried out as she frantically pulled him into her arms. "Jeremy, Jere . . . please keep your eyes open. Please!" She cried out to him as she begged him to keep his eyes open. He gave her a weak smile as she reached up to touch her crying face, but his hand fell back as he grew too weak.

Caroline and Bonnie came in to see Liz and Becca both hovering over Jeremy, who was bleeding a lot. They hurried over to them, asking what happened. Bonnie pulled a hysterical Becca away as Caroline took her place. "I was aiming for Damon." Liz cried out to her daughter as she held pressure to the wound.

Caroline lifted his hand to see that he was still wearing his ring that John had given him. "He still has his ring." She said out. Bonnie just shook her head as she held onto her crying friend. "She's human! The ring won't work on him." She said out to her blond friend. Caroline went wide eyed at hearing that.

Becca went itno even more hysterics upon hearing that he could very well die because it had been Liz who shot him. She held onto Bonnie with all she had. There was just so much blood. "No! He can't die! Don't let him die, Caroline! Please! I love him." She cried out to her friends as she pulled from Bonnie's hold on her. She wouldn't let her go, she just held on with all her might.

Upon seeing her best friend begging her to help him, she let her fangs drop and bit into her wrist. She hurried to let him drink as she put her wrist against his mouth, but he wasn't moving. "Come on, Jeremy. Just drink. Jeremy drink." She pleaded with the boy. "What are you doing?" Her mother said out with disgust. She look at her friends to see Bonnie hiding Becca's face in her arms as she held onto her before looking back at her mom. "I'm helping him." She told her angrily. At the moment, all she cared about was making sure that Jeremy opened his eyes and got to see Becca again.

They were all waiting with baited breath as nothing seemed to be happening. Becca lifted her head from Bonnie's shoulder to see that nothing was happening. "Please, Jeremy. Drink!" She begged him as she watched as nothing happened. He was already gone, they were too late. "Oh, god." She cried out as she hid her face in Bonnie's shoulder again. The witch and vampire felt their own tears falling as they came to realize the same thing. Bonnie held onto her broken friend as she cried her heart out.

The door to the Grill opened and Alaric came inside. He spotted the group on the floor, Becca's loud sobbing being what caught his attention as he hurried over to them all. "Bonnie, what's going on?" He asked out to the witch. Bonnie slowly moved Becca over to Caroline as she got up, shaking her head to the older man as she wiped her own tears. "No." He said as he kneels down beside the two other crying girls. "Oh my god." He gasped out when he saw the unmoving body of the boy he loved like a son.

Bonnie watched them all with a teary blank expression. The man who loved him like a son. The girl who loved him all her heart. The vampire who thought of him like a best friend, and the woman who had always seem him as someone she protected like if he was one of her own children. "I know what I need to do." She said out to them. They all looked up at her confused. "I need you to grab him, t-t-take him with us." She told them.

"No no no. No. You can't move him. This is a crime scene." Liz said out as the sirens were heard behind them. They needed to move quick if they wanted to get out of here before it was really too late. Caroline held onto Becca, giving her mom a sharp look. "Mom. You let them go." She told her. The two woman shared a look before she let Alaric through. Bonnie help Becca to her feet, holding onto her to keep her from falling, as the older man lifted Jeremy up into his arms.

%$#%$$^

They had brought him over to the witch house. Alaric had carried him inside as Bonnie and Becca came in before him. Becca shakenly lit the candles as Alaric carried him carefully down into the basement and Bonnie got the books prepared. "Is this even possible?" He asked out to the witch as he gently put the boy down where Bonnie had told him to. Once Becca was done, she was instantly at Jeremy's side and holding his hand.

His skin was icy cold against hers, even more cold then a vampire's skin if it was even possible. Alaric watched on as she cried over his body. Bonnie looked at them as well and instantly knew in that second that she needed to bring Jeremy back, not just because he shouldn't be dead, but because Becca needed him, and so did Elena. He was all her friend had left of her family, and she couldn't loose him so soon after Jenna and John. "There's a spell for it, if they give me the power to use it." Bonnie

explained to them as she moved toward the girl and dead boy.

She lifted Jeremy's head onto her lap, her hands on both sides of his temples as she started chanting. Becca and Alaric looked around as the candles suddenly bursts into life. Becca's eyes widened when Bonnie suddenly stopped and said 'no'. "What? What is going on, Bonnie?" She asked out to her friend as she gripped onto her boyfriend's hand.

Tears flowed down both of the girl's cheeks as Bonnie turned to look at her best friend. "They're angry at me for coming back here." She told them both. "They don't want to help." She realized as the whispered from the witches reached her ears. The other two shared a worried look before looking back at the witch.

Alaric watched as Becca let out a sob and laid her head down on Jeremy's chest, her grip on his hand never loosening for a moment. She wasn't ready to let him go any more then the rest of them were. "Well they have to." He said out to the house of dead witches. They needed to help. No one was ready to loose Jeremy, not so soon after loosing their other loved ones.

Bonnie listened as the witches told her more. She didn't want to listen at the moment unless they helped her. She knew that they were right, but she couldn't just let Jeremy be gone. "They said they'll be consequences." She said out to them. Becca's sobs filled the room as she cried over Jeremy's body. Alaric slid closer and placed a hand on her back, trying to give her some kind of comfort.

He looked around the house, suddenly disgusted with the witches. How could they stand by and watch this. He wasn't even an adult yet, his life couldn't just be over before it ever really got started. He had the girl of his dreams loving him, he had the whole world waiting for him, it couldn't just be over. "Well he's just a kid. Tell them to shut up!" He said out to Bonnie and the house. Bonnie started chanting again, the house shaking as the candles burst alive again.

Becca slowly lifted her head to see the chaos around her. Bonnie had blood running down from her nose, she was going to die trying to save Jeremy. Becca reached out and grabbed one of her hands, giving her a look for strength to keep going. She might not be a witch, but she still believed in her friend. "I know that I'm not a witch, but please, just help me. Help us! I love him, and I can't loose him. None of us can. If you can hear me, please-just please, help me! I need him, and so does his sister. She can't loose someone else." Becca pleaded with the witches, hoping that it somehow would work.

They waited for a moment before everything suddenly went dark. Bonnie cried out when she realized that they wouldn't help them. Becca let her head drop to Jeremy's chest when she realized the same thing. She gasped out when she heard something that she didn't think that she'd ever hear again. She slowly raised her head to see his eyes opening. "Oh my god. Jeremy?" She whispered out to him. Bonnie and Alaric both jumped in surprise of seeing him alive.

He lifted his head slightly to see the girl he loved. Confusion crossed his face as he saw her tears. "Becca?" He said out softly. The girls quickly switched places so she was holding his head. She cried as she lifted him up slight and held onto him. He groaned out in pain. His body hurt so much when he tried to move anything. "What happened?" He asked up to her. She just held his head to her and cried as she kissed the top of his hair.

She brushed back his hair, a small smile on her lips as she looked down at him. He looked back up at her with a weak smile. "It doesn't matter. You're okay. You're gonna be okay." She said out before kissing his lips. He smiled against her lips weakly as he kissed her back. Bonnie looked up and silently thanked the witches for helping her bring him back.

#$%#%$#%$

Becca and Jeremy were back at him house. She had fallen a sleep in his arms as he looked up things about being back from the dead on his laptop. He glanced down at her with a weak smile and kissed the top of her head. She smiled in her sleep as she slowly let her eyes flutter open. He moved the laptop away from them and smiled back down at her as she got comfortable in his arms again. "I always did like waking up with you here." She said out to him tiredly as she snuggled into him more.

He chuckled as she sat up slightly in his arms. He knew that she was scared that he might not have be there to do that anymore. He would always be there for her, no matter if he was dead or alive. Though, he preferred being alive, he would never leave her to fend for herself. "I like doing that too." He chuckled to her as he pulled her closer to him and placed a quick kiss on her lips. "I feel different, but I don't think that it's a bad different. I feel weird." He confessed to her.

She gave him a wary look as she looked up him. She was worried that he wouldn't be the same when he came back, but she refused to believe that it would change him more then just him feeling weird for a while. "You were dead, Jere. It would be weird if you felt normal." She told him as she craned her neck and gave him another kiss. "I'm so lucky to have you. I was so lost when I thought you were really gone." She told him as she pulled back from his lips.

He gave her a smile and held her close. He had felt the same way when he had found out she was leaving for Florida that night. "I thought the same thing the night you left with your uncle." He confessed to her as they got comfortable with looking up at the ceiling. He didn't remember much from that night thanks to Damon, but he did remember the feeling of being lost and not knowing what to do. "Bonnie told me how you begged the witches to help. I guess that I have to thank you for saving me too, don't I?" He said as he looked down at her.

She gave him a guilty look as she laughed. "You can do that tomorrow," She told him as she reached up and gave him a quick kiss. "and the day after that," She said out before giving him another kiss. "and the day after that . . ." She told him again as she kissed him a bit longer. He chuckled as he cupped her face with his hand and deepened their kiss. They finally pulled away from their kiss at the sound of Alaric clearing his throat.

Becca blushed as she pulled away from Jeremy and buried her head into his shirt in embarrassment. The two men chuckled at her before locking eyes. "I was gonna take off. You two need anything?" Alaric said out to them. Becca pulled away slightly from her boyfriend and got up from the bed upon hearing her cell phone ringing in her jacket pocket. She retrieved her phone answered it when she saw Elena's name pop up on the screen. She motioned to Jeremy that she'd be right back. He nodded and watched as she left the room.

She got far enough from the room before answering the phone. "Hey, Elena. We were so worried about . . . what did you just say?" Becca felt her heart stop at the words Elena was saying. 'Damon's dying. You need to be here, Becca.' It took her a moment before her heart started back up again. "I'll be right over." She said before hanging up and going back into Jeremy's room to go get her things. "Damon's dying. I need to be there." She told him as Jeremy got up from his bed.

He and Alaric both saw that she was at the brink of breaking again as she tried to put on her shoes. Her hands were shaking so badly, that she couldn't seem to be able to do it on her own. "Hey. Hey! Look at me." He told her as he crouched down in front of her and held her head in his hands. Her head slowly lifted up to meet his. "Everything's going to be alright. Damon's gonna be alright. I'll drive you over there. Just take a deep breath, Becca." He told her as he gave her a quick kiss and helped her with her shoes.

The two teens hurried past Alaric and left the house. They were at the boarding house in no time. Becca hurried over to the doors to find Katherine waiting at the door. Becca still owned the house since she didn't die like Elena had, even if it was only for a few hours. "What are you doing here? How'd you get him to let you out?" Becca asked out to her as she opened the door.

Katherine was impatient. She just wanted to give Damon the cure and leave town before Klaus came looking for her again. "Long story. Just invite me in." She hurried her along. Becca nodded her head as Jeremy came up the walk way. "You can come in, Katherine." She told her as she held the door open for her. She nodded her thanks and walked inside with Jeremy came in behind her. They all made their way upstairs and down to Damon's room.

Jeremy and Becca both gasped out upon seeing Elena slowly kissing Damon on his death bed. The brunette in question jumped away from the dying vampire and off of the bed to see her brother, Becca, and Katherine standing in the doorway. "Well, it's me you should be thanking." Katherine said out as she held up the vile in her hand. "I mean, I'm the one who brought the cure." She told him as she motioned toward the vile in her hand.

Becca left their sides to go to Damon. She hurried to climb into the bed and hold him in her arms. Damon smiled weakly up at her and brushed away one of her tears like he had before. "There's a cure, Damon. You're gonna be alright." She said out happily down to him. He gave her a weak smile before turning his attention to Katherine, who had climbed into the bed on the other side to get to him. "You got free." He said out weakly to her.

She uncorked the vile and left it up to his lips. "Yup. Finally." She told him as she fed him the blood in the vile. Who would have known it was Klaus's blood that would save anyone. "And you still came here." He said out weakly as Becca brushed aside some of his hair. "I owed you one." She told him as he placed her hand on his cheek before getting up from the bed.

"Where's Stefan?" Elena asked out to her look-a-like vampire double. Jeremy stood in the doorway watching it all happen. Becca was holding Damon, crying over her happiness of both the men important to her being safe and alive. Katherine was explaining to Elena that Stefan wasn't coming back, that he had gave himself over to Klaus to save Damon's life. She went to leave, but stopped beside Jeremy and turned back toward her doppelganger. "Oh, it's okay to love them both. I did." She said before tossing her the vile and taking off. The four in the room all shared a worried look together upon hearing the news of Stefan being with Klaus and not coming back. It hit Elena and Damon the hardest, but the other two knew it was very bad as well.

Jeremy had dropped Becca off at her house soon after she made sure Damon was going to be a perfect recovery. He went back home after that and went right to bed to sleep off his weird feeling. He had slept for a few hours before something awoke him. He slowly turned at the sound of the floor boards creaking and saw a shadow of a person fly by. "Alaric?" He called out, but there was no answer. "Becca?" He called out again, thinking that maybe she sneaked out and came over after her mom and brother went to sleep.

Again, no answer.

He then forced himself to get out of his bed then and tiredly made his way over to the hallway. "Alaric?" He called out again as he made his way down the hall, completely unaware up the presence behind him. He jumped when he felt a cold chill hit him, only to see nothing there. He slowly made his way down the stairs, completely unaware of the fact that Vickie was behind him, watching him as he moved away from her.

She followed after him down the stairs, him never having a single clue that she was there. He slowly made his way toward the kitchen. Alaric was fast a sleep on the couch, which only made him worry. He had most definably seen someone walk by his room. "Jere," He spun around at the sound of her voice, but no one was there. He turned back around to see Ana standing there.

Confusion flowed through him as he looked at his dead girlfriend. She had been gone for months now. "Ana?" He asked out, but she said nothing. He slowly turned to find Vickie standing behind him. "Vickie?" He asked out just as nervously. He didn't understand why either of them were there, or even how it was possibly for them to be there. What he did know though, was that this was bad, really bad.
