Jeremy's POV

Kaylee decided to leave before you could question her. Not that you really needed too. You pretty much knew everything from Elena's journals. But you headed to school anyways giving Megan's crackhead ass a ride to school. "Hey Mr. Saltzman," you greeted walking up to him. His back was to you and it looked like he was digging through his car for something. "Hey Jeremy," he looked to you quickly before going back to whatever he was doing. "I uh can't find my ring I took it off at the gym and I thought I put it-" he looked down at his seat, "Oh there it is," he picked up the old dainty ring and climbed out of his car slipping it back on his finger. "Losing family heirlooms bad," he chuckle awkwardly. "How's your and Kaylee's extra credit coming along? Pick a topic yet?" he asked leaning against the door to his car.

"Mystic falls, civil war era. I think Kaylee's doing the same," you had actually been enjoying this project well when you had been able to actually work on it. "What's the angle?" he scrunched his brows looking at you rubbing his hand across his chin brushing against the stubble.

"I think we're doing our family. We both have all these journals from our ancestors who lived in the 1800's. And the Gilbert's and the Lockwood's are some of the original founding families of Mystic Falls so.." you nodded. "that sounds good I'll be waiting to read it," he nodded with you seeming quite impressed. "I'll see you in class," you waved heading inside as the last bell rang.


Kaylee's POV

You finally got back on the road, "You do realize Stefan's probably gonna try to get Leo or Bonnie to do a locator spell on me or her," you turned to Damon laying your check against the cool leather of your seat. "Well Bonnie isn't any of our biggest fans these days so I highly doubt she will help," Elena butted in.

"Ahh yes. I keep forgetting that she didn't know till the night I was possessed," you yawned looking back out the window. You could see Elena increasingly growing annoyed as Damon turned on some music and drummed his fingers on the steering wheel. "So where's my car," she propped her head up with her arm against the window. "Oh I pulled it off to the side of the road. I don't think anyone will bother it," he flashed her a fake smile before returning his attention to the road. "So this man in the road he was a-"

"From what we can tell," you nodded rolling down the window your nose filling with all the different scents from outside. "You didn't know him?" Oh because all vampires just know each other.

"If I've never met him I wouldn't know him," he brushed off seeming to get just as annoyed with all her questions as you were. "I mean it's not like we all hang out together at the vamp bar and grill," he taunted and she just rolled those big brown eyes. You perked up realizing you were pulling into a town practically stopping in the middle of the road.

"Where are we? You brought us to a bar?" you pulled your door open and got out. You could not handle one more minute of being in the car with her. You stepped out examining the giant sign "Bree's Bar" it read. Seemed familiar but you just shrugged. "Damon we're not old enough they aren't going to let us in," oh miss goody two shoes. "Speak for yourself," you muttered heading across the street with Damon. "Sure they will," he looked back at Elena who still hadn't moved. She let out a long dramatic sigh and slammed his car door shut and caught up with you guys.

You 3 walked in the music was booming which kind of made your head spin. A tall darker skinned lady with dark ringlets that completely framed her face. "No no no it can't be," she said walking out from behind the bar. Damon was just smiling to himself rubbing his hands together like one of those old cartoon villains. "Damon?" She walked over and towered over the 3 of you. "My honey pie," her eyes ate him almost as she looked him up and down. She placed her hands on either side of his head and pulled him into a kiss. You shifted your weight on your feet trying to ignore the slight pang of jealousy in your heart. Elena's eyes were huge as she looked between them, you cleared your throat feeling uncomfortable and they pulled apart. You clenched your jaw together trying to put away the urge to tear this girls head off and you 3 sat at the bar. And the lady slide over the bar holding up a clear bottle of some sort of alcohol "Listen up everyone! Here's to the man that broke my heart, crushed my soul, destroyed my life, and ruined any and all chances of happiness," she announced pouring some of the mystery alcohol in a line of empty shots placing one of them in front of each of you. "Drink up," she cheered. You, Damon and this woman downing your shots. While Elena just looked horrified at you and the shot sitting in front of her. You reached over slipping the shot out of her hand and downing it for her before smiling and handing it back. "So how did he rope you in?" she asked Elena refilling the shot glaces.

"I'm not roped in. I'm acting dating his-"

"Honey if you're not roped. You're whipped. Either way just enjoy the ride," she interrupted your cheeks filled with air as you tried to swallow the laughter begging to come out. "And you," she now looked at you, "you must be Kaylee freaking Lockwood my god you look exactly like her," she was astonished as she stared at you seeming to map your face with her eyes. "You know me?" your heart kinda dropped hearing those words. "Of course I do sweetheart. Your story is very famous among witches and of course from the devil himself," she shook her head over at Damon. "I've heard your story since I was a little girl, the last reincarnation spell that was ever pulled off was on you. No one has ever been able to do that spell since. You're a very special girl," she smiled pushing another shot towards you you just smiled awkwardly back before taking another shot. You so badly wanted to pry her for more information but from the looks of it that was really all she was gonna give you.

"So how did you two meet?" Elena asked pushing the shot away from her. She looked to damon and they both started laughing, "College," she put simply looking back to Elena. "You went to college?" you couldn't help but laugh. "I've been on a college campus, yes," he quickly raised both eyebrows at the two of you before downing another shot. "About 20 years ago when I was a sweet young freshman. I met this beautiful man and fell in love. And then he told me about his little secret, made me love him more. Because you see i had a little secret of my own that I was dying to share with somebody." You watched Elena smile weirdly at Damon before he leaned towards both of you, "She's a witch," he whispered. "Changed my world ya know," she nodded. "I rocked your world," he smirked resting his elbow on the bar and his head against his hand. There it was again the jealousy rising like bile in your throat. She looked back to you two, "he is good in the sack isn't he?" she questioned Elena and you felt your cheeks burn. "But most he's just a walk a way joe," she put bluntly downing another shot before looking at you. "Bet you would know more than she would," she make shift cup around her mouth with her hand before walking away placing the dirtied shot glasses in a tub under the bar,"So what is it you want?" she asked placing a hand on the bar leaning against it as she looked between the 3 of you.


Jeremy's POV

You headed to the library after lunch already caught up in the rest of your classes for the day so you were glad to use this time to work on your paper. You tried texting Kaylee multiple times but got no reply. In fact no one had since this morning. You shook off the odd feeling and headed up the stairs to try to find some of the books the librarian had looked up for you handing you a set of note-cards with their numbers on it. You made your way through the shelves re-positioning your backpack on your shoulder. You felt a bit out of place here, you never thought you would find yourself here out of choice. You were looking through the numbers having some trouble finding them. You turned around and two books shot out of the shelf at you but you jumped back before they hit you and they toppled to the ground you gasped for air feeling dumb that a few books falling scared you that bad. You collected yourself and knelled down collecting the books. You stood to put them back, "Oh my god I'm so sorry. There was this one book wedged between the other. And I pulled and the kablunk, kaboom. Are you okay?" She had the attention span of the gold fish like Megan and seemed to talk forever just like Charlie which made you laugh. She was weird that you could tell right off the bat, but something about her seemed to weirdly draw you in. Plus she was kinda hot. "yeah yeah. I'm fine," you felt your hands grow clammy as you placed the books back on their shelf.

You both seemed to look down to collect the rest of them leaning down to grab them unknowingly at the same time before your foreheads smacked together and knocked you both off your balance. "Agh," you groaned rubbing the pain on your forehead. You couldn't help but laugh though, you could have sworn you'd seen this same scene in multiple chick flicks Kaylee and Megan had made you watch over the years. "I'm Ana," she laughed nervously offering you her hand to shake. "Jeremy," you smiled behind your hair that had fallen in your face taking her hand and shaking it. You were both so awkward it made this whole interaction extremely funny.


Leo's POV

It had been a long night so you decided to ditch school today and get some sleep. that sleep which was rudely interrupted by someone making so many crashing sounds. It made sleep nearly impossible. "Thank god you're back," you recognized that voice that belonged to Bon. And you walked into the living room groaning at the sunlight in your eyes. "Well hello to you too," Grams greeted closing the door. "What's the matter?" you asked sitting across from her in the seat you and grams always sat in.

"My powers are gone Grams, I can't do anything. Even when I concentrate. And there's nothing in these books that can tell me how to get them back," you looked over the piles of open books all across the coffee table and couch. "Hang on now, just calm down," she cooed setting her bag on the back of the couch before sitting down next to her. "Tell me what happened," she took her hands. "I can't," she said curtly.

"We keeping secrets now?"

"I have too. I'm sorry. I promise. Please help me," she pleaded and you watched the muscles in her arms flex as she squeezed her hands. Grams looked over all the open books and thought for a moment before she spook, "Well first of there's nothing in any of these books that's gonna help you. If you're blocked, it's in here," she pointed to the side of her head. Ah good old times when you're worries only consisted of how to unblock your magic. Now you had it oozing from your finger tips at all times. "You gotta clear it out. Then you're back in business."

"Clear what out?"

"Whatever's got you so scared," it was always pointless to lie or keep things from Grams. She could read anyone like her favorite book. But she could read you two like the back of her hand. You knew what the secret was but you weren't just gonna blurt it out. It's hard to deal with. But you were also very closed minded as a witch if you believe we exist but no other supernatural things do.


Kaylee's POV

Bree had gotten Damon drunk enough that he agreed to let Elena have her phone to call Jenna which surprised you. But it also surprised you that he was drunk at all. This is the man that can drink bourbon all day and night and be perfectly fine. But this time was different which made you suspicious that she was up to something.

"Hi Jenna. i'm so sorry." You heard Elena on the sidewalk outside the bar.

"Where are you? Why didn't you call?"

"I was so tired last night. I fell asleep at Bonnie's. And then this morning I just wanted to get to school," she lied which was pretty convincing but Jenna had never been very good at seeing through lies. But she also hadn't needed to be a parent since last summer.

"Are you okay?"

"ya know Stefan and stuff." you gagged getting bored and tuning their conversation out. "Come on there's gotta be another way," Damon was buttering up Bree attempting to get information on Katherine and the tomb out of her.

"After all these years, it's still Katherine? I thought this one here was your great love," You shifted in your seat uncomfortable to even be apart of this situation. "I'm taken," but that seem to do nothing for her. "How do you even know she's still alive?" she folded her legs over the little bar table and rocked her chair back on two legs. "Well you help me get into that tomb and we'll find out," he traced along the soft skin of her forearm and you clenched your jaw together so tight it could almost make your teeth shatter right there in your mouth. She yanked her arm away and you felt your body somewhat relax, " I already did 20 years ago remember?"

"3 easy steps- Comet. Crystal. Spell."

"There's a little problem with number 2. I don't have the crystal."

"That's it Damon. There is no other way. It is Emily's spell," You could feel that she wasn't telling the whole truth but you just folded your legs one over the other and rocked your leg continuing to watch her closely. "What about new spell, with a new crystal that overrides Emily's spell?" he suggested.

She placed two fingers on the pointed end of her chin, "It doesn't work that way baby. Emily's spell is absolute. You can't get into that tomb." Her honey eyes found you again, "How do you not hate him? Don't you know what happened? Why you even died in the first place?" she asked setting her chair back down on it's two legs. "Yes I do. I broke the curse a couple days ago. I turned last night," her eyes grew wide. "You turned? Without a full moon?" she clarified. "You're the witch. Tell me was the moon full last night?" you redirected the question back to her. Her shoulders hunched as she shrunk back into her chair seeming to get lost in thought as she kept her gaze lose on a chipped piece of wood on the floor. The bad feeling in your stomach only growing more. You had a feeling that Bree was no longer a friend of Damon's regardless of their history and you and Elena were about to get caught in the middle of it.
