Behind The Gray

Chapter 36: One Lockwood, Two Lockwoods, Three Lockwoods too many


"8"


(Tru POV)

"You're late", Mason stated as he open the Lockwood door.

"Yeah . . . well I had some business to take care off", I quickly said as I walked in and was greeted by Carol. "Tru, I'm so glad you've made it", Carol grinned as she pulled me into a hug. Ugh, what the hell.

Since when has Carol Lockwood decided to be affectionate towards me. "Oh, sweetie, you have blood on your blouse", she said pointing out a small drop. Crap.

"Ugh, yeah, I had a small nose bleed on the way here", I lied, Carol bought it, but Mason's arched eyebrow says something different. "Oh, you poor thing", she cooed as we walked towards their dinning table.

Seriously, why is she being so nice.

Damn it, she wants something.

We sat down at the dining table, that's when I noticed there was no Tyler in sight, just Carol and Mason.

"Okay, well as much as I love free food and deceit . . . and I do love free food, I'd rather get through the itty gritty as soon as possible. So how can I help you, Carol?" I said bluntly grabbing a roll.

"Well, since you brought it up, I want you to lead our annual Fonder's picnic", she grinned.

"Really? That's all, you know you didn't have to go through all this, you could have just called", I told her, as I chewed a mouthful of bread.

"Well, that's not exactly all", she hesitated. "I need you, to figure out who this new Vampire is, and I need you to get rid of them by tomorrow".

"Ah, I knew there was something else", I sing songed, "And why should I risk my life, so you can have a safe and carefree picnic?" I asked.

"Please, Tru, let's not play dumb . . . you are who you are . . .you have always fixed these problems", she said emphasizing 'fixed'.

"Humor me", I shrugged. Of course Jeremy, Katherine and I had been trying to figure out who the new Vamp was, he had information that I wanted and I wasn't just going to stake him so quickly.

"Please, the last thing we need are more deaths, especially after Founder's Day", she paused, "We both lost people we loved, lets not loose anymore".

Founder's Day, she had to bring up Founder's Day, the crappiest day of my existence . . . well that I remember anyways.

"Fine", I said getting up, they both looked at me with puzzled expressions. "You're leaving?" they both asked in unison.

"Yeah, the Picnic's tomorrow, I don't have time to waste", I started walking towards their door, "by the way, the bread was delicious", Asses, I was grumpy.


"What the hell are you doing here? Get out of here, you're gonna blow my cover", I scold him as I duck in further into the bushes. Why do I always get Jeremy into these types of situations, well, at least it's not Elena, or Stefan would kill me.

"This seems extraordinarily dangerous", Jeremy pleaded as he stood on the side of the vacant road next to the woods.

"Jer, that is the point of being here", I told him, "This is the area of the highest concentration of 'animal attacks'.

"Yeah, well, maybe I'm starting to change my mind, I feel like a sitting duck over here", he shivered slightly.

"Well, if you recall, you volunteered for this", maybe he didn't, okay he didn't I lured him here on false promises of candy.

"You forced me", he groaned out, rubbing the palm of his hands for heat.

"Well, you fit the profile", I managed to say without breaking a smile. "Again, no I don't", he gave me an exasperated sigh.

"Yes, you do your gorgeous, now look sexy for this guy, otherwise he's never gonna come", I told him as he tried to cover himself up.

"I don't understand why I have to be in a mesh tank", he whined. Ha ha, I'm so evil, he didn't need to wear that, technically I wasn't using him as bait, whoever Klaus sent, I am 100% he would not attack Jeremy. This was more of payback of the judgmental look he gave me this morning after he realized that I was back on with Damon.

I ignored him, "Get back out there, tiger, you can do it, I believe in you", I gave him a thumbs up.

I watched closely as I saw man In a purple suit walk by, "Damn, boy, who you with?", he asked turning to Jeremy.

Damn, I think he's a pimp. This could have not gotten any better.

"Oh, I think you got the wrong idea, I'm not with anybody", Jeremy somewhat stuttered out.

"Word? Well, lookee here", the pimp said with a grin on his face. "Well, maybe if you can get some meat on those bones you can come and be Peppa Jack's best ho", okay, I was dying on the inside, Jeremy's face alone was worth a thousand words.

Okay, Okay, should I stop this, or wait it out. Huh. Tough question.

Alright time to intervene. I somewhat stumbled out of the shrubs and walked towards them.

"Excuse me, I think you have the wrong idea here", I told him as I walked towards Jeremy.

"Excuse me, Peppa Jack, is trying to conduct some business here, and since this prime piece of meat isn't with anyone, I think you should leave before someone gets cut", he warned.

"First of all this is my bitch right here", I said pointing to Jeremy. "Tru", Jeremy tried to say something, I turned towards him, "Bitch, you speak when spoken to, you know that", I scolded him.

Ahh, I was having fun, but the pimp did look like he was getting annoyed. "You know what, lets go", he said coming towards Jeremy.
"Whoa, hell no, you're not just gonna come here and take T-Davis' best ho", I warned him. "You serious?" he rolled his eyes. "Do I look like I'm playing?" I scoffed.

"Do you think, I'm playing? Peppa Jack don't play, In fact Peppa Jack about to cut somebody", he said pulling out a small knife.

I rolled my eyes, hmm, I think I'm hungry, I smirked and Peppa Jack gave me a worried look.

Five minutes later, I had successfully hidden Peppa Jack's body. Well, if anyone finds him I can always blame that Vamp. I walked towards the car, where I found a very angry Jeremy.

"This is the last time", he muttered. I couldn't help but smile. Jeremy almost became a pimp's property today. "Just be glad I was hungry or otherwise, you would be having this conversation with Peppa Jack", I said giving him a big cheesy grin. He rolled his eyes at me.


"Alright, Bitches, get in line", I yelled out at the group in front of me. "As you know, Mrs. Lockwood, has appointed me as the 'leader' of this year's Mystic Falls picnic . . . not sure what that means, but I assume I can boss you guys around, so chop chop get to work", I said snapping my fingers.

Not a single smile in the group, well this might be entertaining, I thought to myself.
