Megan's POV
You and Stefan walked back towards Kaylee's house in silence. Honestly there was nothing really to say. And she of course was still knocked out in his arms. "You're quiet for once," Stefan finally said after the silence became to much to bear. "The shock is wearing off. And I'm not exactly the biggest fan of your family right now," you put impolitely.
"Ahh. I see," he grunted re-positioning Kaylee in his arms.
"I just don't understand you guys at all. You say you care about her, and that she was your guys best friend back in the day but all you guys do is lie to her. Damon treats her like garbage and i heard what he said about Katherine. But I also know he tried to tell Kaylee he didn't love Katherine and that he only loved her. It just makes no sense," you ranted crossing your arms over your chest it had become quite chilly now trucking through the forest.
"It's hard to explain. But when we realized who she was. We watched seeing her interact with you guys she's different but the same. She's tougher. But what has happened to her. The pain from her last life it's not something to be taken lightly. So i convinced Charlie to protect her at least for as long as we could. If it makes you feel better Damon's not as truthful as he likes to pretend he is," he looked over at you as you moved through the last of the trees finally into the Lockwood front yard.
"Why don't you just tell her? She is big on being honest Stefan and if she's gonna find out eventually why not now from you guys instead of the memories?" you suggested keeping your eyes on her feet.
"I'm not sure it'll do any good now. But it's good she has Kyle. He can help her with all the wolf stuff that we can't," he looked over at you and you caught his eyes. He had these big sad puppy dog eyes that almost made you feel bad. But you're loyalty was always to Kaylee. It was their choice to lie and they need to figure out a way to make it right. You froze, "Wait you're telling me Kyle freaking Granger is a werewolf too!" You squeaked.
"Mind saying that any louder?" you turned finding him standing behind you two.
"Kyle," Stefan greeted. "Her family is home. Take her to my house unless you want to explain that she was possessed by a crazy witch to her family," he rubbed his hands together and you two looked to the house seeing her parents bedroom light illuminated. You raised an eyebrow, "Who told you wolf boy?"
"Charlie," he dismissed starting to walk over to his house. "Let's go before they see us," he hissed through the trees motioning for you guys to follow. Stefan waded through the trees being careful not to let anything scratch or hurt Kaylee.
You two followed him to his backdoor and he took out some keys and unlock it, "upstairs first door on your left," he instructed before hoping over the porch railing and completely disappearing. You and Stefan shared and uncomfortable look but he finally went in and you followed behind attempting to close the door quietly as you headed upstairs.
It was weird you had never been in his room before. It looked similar to Jeremy's which kinda made sense. It was so weird to think that him and Kaylee had spent the larger part of their childhood together. It was cute. "I'm gonna go. I'm sure I'm the last person she want's to see when she wakes up," he turned after laying her in Kyles bed under the covers. "probably a good idea. she can be a little crazy sometimes," you chuckled sitting on the edge of the bed. "A little?" Kyle joked slipping into the room. "Sorry I was just explaining what happened to my parents," he closed the room walking over to Kaylee.
Stefan just smiled before taking one last long gaze over Kaylee before disappearing out the window leaving a gust of wind making Kyle's curtains do crazy dances. "Is it alright if I stay? I wan't to be here when she wakes up," you looked over at Kyle. "Yeah of course. You should try to get some sleep too. You had a rough night too," he got up from the bed opening his closet and pulling out a blanket for you.
"Sleep it'll help. I'm sure you have a million questions for me that I can answer tomorrow," he encouraged moving off the bed and you scooted up the bed and laid down next to her. As soon as your head hit the pillow you were out like a light.
Kyle's POV
It didn't take long for Megan to pass out so you sat at your desk carefully listening and waiting to see if Kaylee would wake up. You didn't want her to be alone and confused and scared. You'd wait all night if you have too.
Hours later...
You were sketching pictures of wolves when you heard one of them stir in the bed causing you to turn. "Welcome back to the land of the living beautiful," you chuckled dropping your pencil and sitting on the edge of the bed next to her. You watched her rub her eyes quickly realizing she wasn't where she last remembered.
"What the fuck where am I?" she jumped looking around of course waking Megan up. "Easy Kaylee it's okay," she cooed wrapping her arms around her and she melted into Megan's lap. "I don't understand what happened," she sniffled and you could see the silent tears rolling out of her eyes. "How do you feel? Are you okay?"You asked rubbing her leg softly and her eyes darted to you. "I feel sick," she was shaking as she placed her hand on her forehead. Her hand ran down her face pressing on her neck and then bringing her hand to where she would see it and she hopped up. "Where did this blood come from?" she was off the bed now like we were the people who did this to her.
"Kaylee it's okay," your phone vibrated against your desk and you got up walking carefully over to it and answering the call seeing it was Leo.
"Hey man," you answered.
"Hey I'm here and I made what your mom asked for."
"Great come on up, first door on your left," you instructed hanging up.
"Kaylee what do you remember?" Megan asked scooting to the edge of the bed and letting her feet hang off the side. "I remember you wanted me to come over to Jeremy's and we were going to eat food. But then your sister and Bonnie started fighting or something? I don't remember anything else," she mumbled as she shrunk back into herself and she looked down at the floor her eyes going out of focus.
"I'm so tired of not remembering what has happened to me," she tangled her hands in her hair as she started pacing. Her eyes looked to the door a second later a soft knock on the door was heard and then Leo peaked in. "Hey sorry it took me so long," he expressed as he walked in closing the door and leaning against it.
"i gave the stuff to your mom so she should be making it now," he looked to you and you just nodded looking back at Kaylee who was clearly confused. "My mother is a witch and a friend of their grandma. I had him bring over a mixture of herbs to help with the cloudiness and you should hopefully be able to remember more if not all," you smiled standing and taking her hand walking her back to the bed sitting her down. She sighed laying her head on your shoulder, "I feel like I have the worst hangover ever." And you couldn't help but laugh, "Here you go," you turned finding your mother in the doorway handing the tea to Leo. "Drink up and then get some sleep," she smiled before heading back downstairs. Leo sat in front of her handing her the cup, "Probably gonna taste like ass but it will help."
She sighed and sipped it a little looking between you guys. "Why is everyone watching me? I'm not gonna catch fire am I?" Everyone stayed quiet. Honestly none of you had any idea what was gonna happen. Anything wolf or vampire related you were great with. But witches? You were a bit out of your depth."Good to know," she shook her head and put the cup back to her lips as she chugged it down finishing it and then handing you the cup.
"Sleep we can talk in the morning," Leo laid down inbetween them curling up with Megan. Hm didn't know those two were cozy. You got off the bed as she laid down her eyelids becoming increasingly droopy eyelids. "Sweet dreams sweetheart," you murmured leaning down and kissing her forehead.
Man if you could pass out as quickly as these guys could all your problems would be solved. You grabbed another extra blanket and laid on the beanbag in the corner of your room near her so you could hear her if she needed you. You curled up and quickly fell asleep dreaming of the day she becomes a wolf. The most beautiful girl in the world. Showing her how to control it. Running in the woods. Together.
Jeremy's POV
Your phone buzzed in your pocket no one had answered any of your texts in your group chat and you were starting to get worried. Some was relieved when you saw it was Charlie calling.
You clicked answer, "Hey what's up?"
"Hey, have you talked to anyone else tonight?" she asked you could hear a hint of fear in her voice which of course made the worrying resurface.
"No. I was actually just about to call Kaylee to see what was going on."
"Can I come over?"
"Yeah of course," and the called ended.
20 minutes later...
"Jeremy Charlie's here!" Jenna called from the bottom of the stairs and you hopped up quickly putting away your sketchpad and walked out meeting her at the top of the stairs. You could instantly tell that she was tense and scared as she just brushed past you quickly going into your room.
"What's wrong?" You asked walking in and closing the door.
"Something happened to Kaylee and I don't know how to tell you without telling you everything else," she confessed sitting on your bed and burring her face in her hands.
You sat next to her rubbing her back, "Char it's okay you can tell me."
She turned and you saw her tear stained cheeks and the blackness of her mascara running down her face. "Jeremy I'm a vampire. So are my brothers," she sniffled fidgeting with the bracelets on her wrist and turning away from you. "Everything you've heard through this town and I'm sure through your family it's all true," she confessed. Your hand covered your mouth. Vampires? In Mystic Falls? "And tonight our best friend got possessed by a 150 year old witch. And she said things. Things that only she would have known. And I'm scared Jeremy. I know Kaylee is mad at me but when she finds out what I did? What my brothers did?" she looked back at you, "She'll kill all 3 of us," she gulped almost like she was gonna throw up.
"What did you do?" You finally managed to say.
"We're the reason she died," she whimpered her voice cracking on that last word.
