APRIL
*coughcough* AU *coughcough*

Elena sighed into her phone as she answered,
"Hey Stefan,"
"What's wrong babe?" She sighed again.
"Tyler and Jeremy are being annoying. I miss you," she whined slightly.
"What are they doing?" he questioned, laughing slightly.
"Don't know," she responded, "making as much noise as humanly, supernaturally," she amended, "possible."
"Sorry," Stefan returned. "At least they're not killing anyone." She turned towards the stairs as Jeremy came storming down, Tyler passing him blurring into the kitchen.
"I'm gonna kill you Gilbert," Tyler growled, appearing again.
"Give it your best shot Lockwood, I'm waiting," Jeremy returned, smirking and throwing both arms out to the side at the base of the stairs. Tyler blurred forward again, Elena didn't see the knife until it was too late. She screamed and dropped the phone. The knife stuck out of Jeremy's chest at an angle. Tyler and Jeremy fell away from each other, Jeremy gasping out blood, Tyler gaping.
"No!" Elena screamed and ran towards Jeremy just as he dropped to the floor. She pulled him into her arms.
"Shit that hurts," he managed, teeth red. "Pull it out 'lena, please." Tears came to her eyes as she grasped the handle with a shaking hand. "Hurry," he whispered.
"Jer, don't die," she cried, "I love you."
"'S fine, 's fine 'lena. Just hurts." Catching her breath and biting her lip she did. Jeremy panted for a few moments before dying in her arms.
"I'm so sorry," Tyler choked out, still several feet away. "I just- I just lost my temper and I wasn't thinking and…" he trailed off as Stefan burst through the door.
"What happened?" he questioned, veins popping out as his eyes darkened.
"Ask…him…" Elena managed around sobs.
"I just, lost it!" Tyler managed, tears gathering in his eyes.
"It'll be fine," Stefan said, kneeling down, "he's got his ring, see?" Elena looked to where Stefan held up Jeremy's wrist. She slowly calmed herself.
"Oh. Oh, I didn't think of that. Okay." Stefan looked to Tyler,
"You got lucky this time Tyler," he said sternly. Tyler didn't respond, swiping at his eyes.

Jeremy came back to life with a gasp.
"God that hurt," he let out, rubbing a hand at his chest absently. Elena hugged his neck tightly.
"You wanted to do it," Tyler returned, smirking slightly.
"Oh yeah," Jeremy said dryly, "how'd it go?"
"Perfectly," Tyler said. Jeremy smiled weakly. Stefan stood, crossing his arms and furrowing his brow silently.
"Would you like to share with the class?" Elena questioned, clearing her throat. She pulled away slightly and Jeremy smiled up at her.
"April fools?" Her jaw fell open. Jeremy pulled himself up and climbed the first stair. "Calm down Sis, it was just a joke."
"I-I-I-I," she stammered. "I am going to kill you!" she screamed out, slapping his arm. "I cannot believe you did that! I really am going to kill you!"
"It's not my fault you fell for it! You know Tyler and I are cool now."
"Yeah but he's a werewolf!"
"Yeah…hence the ring working," Jeremy muttered. Elena slapped him again.
"Elena," Stefan said, pulling her back, "you can't kill Jeremy." She crossed her arms and pouted at him. "You're human." The smile on Jeremy's face fell off. Stefan pressed a hand to his chest.

"Allow me."
