A/N: Hey! Sorry this new chapter took so long, I've been taken by classes a lot lately but I have a whole free month now. The next chapters will come out quicker ;)

His legs tremble. Sitting at his desk, Jeremy can't stop thinking about it, he can't believe this is happening again. He thought they were all safe now that they defeated Katherine but the day after Elena gets kidnapped! Who the hell would want to harm her now? One of Katherine's enemies who mistook his sister for her? A random psycho who doesn't have anything to do with the supernatural? That would be the most simple thing, since Damon and Stefan are getting her, it wouldn't be a problem if the kidnapper was just a random human. He envied them, to be able to do something about it. Jeremy is sick of waiting, he wants to help too but he's just human. He can't fight vampires neither do another locator spell... or can he? This gives him an idea, he gets up, picks up his phone out of his pocket and starts typing.

Bonnie is sitting on Jeremy's bed with her legs crossed, watching her best friend's brother walking around the room, she follows him with her eyes, intrigued.

"What are you doing?"

Jeremy doesn't answer and continues his researches. When he finishes them he finally pays attention to Bonnie and sits on his bed beside her to show her his phone.

"Look. I pulled this up based on that spun on the map. There's nothing for miles except for this old house"

"Did you send it to Stefan?"

"Yeah."

This is done, he has nothing left to do now. He can't help anymore, all he can do now is staring at the wall, marinating in his worries.

"I hate sitting here, waiting like this."

"Hey" the witch says rubbing her hand on his back "She's gonna be fine"

The boy watches her hand on his shoulder. A few hours ago he would have enjoyed feeling her hand on him but he's too preoccupied about Elena to enjoy anything for the moment.

"You don't know that" he answers.

"No I don't"

Still, the witch's presence was a bit comforting. It feels nice to have his crush here, understanding and going through the same thing as him. At least he doesn't feel alone in this, which reminds him that somebody else must be feeling that way right now.

"I'm going to see Caroline. She must be feeling alone waiting in Elena's room like this."

"Go ahead" she answers staying still while he gets up.

Jeremy doesn't like switching between the two girls like this. He finds it unfair of Bonnie to reject Caroline like this, treating her like she was Damon. She has killed someone, sure, but she didn't mean it and she has managed to control her hunger by now.

"You know she's doing this to not to make you uncomfortable." Jeremy says with a tint of jugdment.

"I know."

"You're gonna have to talk to her eventually."

"Maybe, but it won't be today."

Jeremy leaves, annoyed by Bonnie's closed mind. After all she was involved in Mason's murder too, she doesn't worth better than the vampire. They all have blood on their hands and the witch needs to realise that. This is definitely not the time to tell her but he will end up doing it if she continues to behave like this.

Caroline is on the border of Elena's bed, her hands between her two legs. When she hears Jeremy walking through the corridor she raises her head to the front door and sees him arriving. As the vampire looks at the boy he sees the worries in her eyes, reminding him that her emotions are heightened and that she must be feeling this kidnapping more than Bonnie or him, even if it's hard for him to imagine someone being more concerned than him about this.

"I have a more precise idea of where Elena could be." he says hoping this would reassure her.

"I know, I listened. Thank you for the researches."

She looks down again. It made him feel bad for her. If she listened to them it means she also heard the part where Bonnie said she was still going to avoid her. Jeremy walks toward the vampire and leans his back against the wall in front of her.

"It's a good thing you can hear us but it would be better if you two were in the same place. Why don't you come to my room with us?"

"Bonnie hates me, I have to respect that." She raises her eyebrows, giving him a knowing glance "Besides, it gives you an opportunity to be alone with her..."

"My sister has been kidnapped, I'm not in the mood for any of that right now."

Jeremy gets up from the wall and walks around the room. Caroline doesn't like to see him tormented like that. She doesn't like to see anyone like that.

"Don't worry" she says "Stefan and Damon are getting her. And there's nothing they wouldn't do to save her, you know that. They saved her life multiple times and they will do it again."

This stops the boy who turns to the girl.

"What if it goes wrong this time?" he asks.

Powerless, the human sits on his sister's bed under the vampire's eyes. She can't deny that something could go wrong but she can't consider it either.

"Maybe we should think about something else." the girl suggests "All we can do is waiting right now so worrying is useless."

"What else can we even think about?"

Caroline thinks, then realises there is another person she's been worried about since the Masquerade ball.

"How's Tyler?" she asks.

"Still in shock, he's discovering what it's like to be a werewolf. But since we killed Mason, no one can explain him precisely what he's going through."

This disappoints the girl that distracting Jeremy's mind didn't make him feel better, it wasn't in her intention to bring his guilt up. Trying to appease him, she puts her arm around his shoulder.

"You didn't kill him Jer, Damon did" with her other hand she pats the boy's arm "You musn't feel guilty about it"

She didn't consider it being inappropriate until Jeremy looked at her weirdly.

"Am I touching you too much?" before he has the time to answer she gets her hands off him "Sorry, I'm just more empathic and sometimes my emotions just... carry me away."

"It's okay" he didn't really care anyway.

Caroline puts her hands back on the bed and continues the conversation.

"At least you still know some stuffs about werewolves right?"

"I know they turn every full moon, they're stronger and faster, they can heal, their weakness isn't silver but wolfspin, you can kill them by ripping their heart out, their curse is sealed by the moonstone and a werewolf bite can kill a vampire."

"Someone did researches!" she says smiling at him.

"Well, I got most of it from Damon and Alaric"

It reminded him the reason he made those researches in the first place, when he was using Tyler to complete those researches. If he had just been a friend and not a spy to him back then he would probably still be human by now. It was all his fault.

"Still doesn't tell me how to help him" he says full of guilt.

"I can still tell you how it feels like to become a vampire, maybe this is similar to wolves."

"It's nice of you but Anna has already told me what it was like to be one."

"There's a difference between being and becoming."

"Alright, tell me then."

"At the beginning, I was very, very emotional. Everything was heightened. It all feels different, you feel different."

"Like being a monster? Not that I think of you guys that way but Tyler and Bonnie do about themselves."

"That's how I used to feel at first too but with time I proved to myself I wasn't. Now I have to prove the others."

She said this with such a confidence it made Jeremy feel admiration for her. She has become so brave and confident over the past few months, he can barely remember her old annoying self.

"You know, you don't have to prove anything to me." he says "You, Tyler, Bonnie... I think you guys have a gift but you hate it because it makes you different."

"Thank you."

It was nice for Caroline to hear that, especially with Bonnie hating her. It's nice to have a human who appreciates what she has become. She wishes that human could be Matt but how can he accept what she is if he doesn't know? Though there is Elena too. She didn't think about her sooner because she didn't want to think of what may be happening to her. Now she is. That's the other reason Caroline likes being with Jeremy, because he reminds her of her best friend. Still, even if she would have a reminder, she can't imagine her life with Elena being gone. She really can't. She has to think about something else, like Tyler per example.

"Alcohol helps vampires to control their hunger." she tells Jeremy "Maybe it can help wolves another way."

"Tyler doesn't have hunger problems but anger problems so... I don't think alcohol will ease anything."

It makes her smile "He's lucky to have you you know. Us new supernatural creature, we need someone by our side. I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have Stefan to help me through it. Him and Elena, they make me keep my sanity. They're the only ones who trust me and don't see me as a monster, they remind me of my human side."

Crap, she's thinking about her again! Though knowing Stefan would still be there was kind of a consolation.

"Tyler must probably feel the same thing about you" she continues "Don't ever leave him by himself."

Jeremy smiles to her. It felt nice to have aknowlegement for what he's doing for the young werewolf, or for anything good he does for that matter. He also liked the thought of being this important to Tyler. It reminded him how the wolf gets different around him, how he feels more trustful and happier and how it makes the human feel the same way. It made him realise there is no turning back in their relationship anymore. Jeremy could never walk away from Tyler who could neither walk away from him either. The wolf needs the human to help him through what he has become and the human needs the wolf to give his life a meaning. Their bound became unbrekable. It filled Jeremy's heart with joy to have someone who cares about him as much as he does, it's the first time it happens with someone outside his family.

The boy gets back to reality when he sees the vampire focusing on something, something he can't discern with his human senses.

"Caroline? What's wrong?"

"Shh." she tucks her hair trying to hear better "Bonnie's casting a spell."

"What spell?"

"I don't know, I don't speak witchcraft."

"Let's find out then!"

Jeremy gets up from the bed and leaves the room. Caroline watches him, starts to get up, then sits again. She doesn't know if she should follow him; she's afraid to see Bonnie but she may be in danger. She gets up and makes a step. Her second step is hesitant: her friend may need her but she doesn't want her. She stops walking. Urh, the situation is killing her! What should she do?

Jeremy answers for her when she hears his screams of panic.

"Oh my God! Bonnie? Bonnie!"

The vampire doesn't hesitate anymore. She vampruns to her friends and sees the witch unconscious on the bed, her face held by the concerned human. It feels like her world is holding on a thin string: Elena missing, Bonnie unconscious... her two best friends may die today. She couldn't take it! How could she survive that if it actually happened?

"Jeremy? What's happening!?" she screams.

"I don't know, I just found her unconscious!"

The vampire bites her wrist, bends over the witch and feeds her with her blood. She stays unconscious for seconds, seconds that feel like minutes for the two conscious people in the room, they go back to being seconds when the witch opens her eyes. Even if Elena is still missing that's a big relief for them.

"Oh thank God!" Caroline exclaims.

Her smile fades away when she sees her friends slowly gaining consciousness. Not that she doesn't want to see her friend being fine, but she's afraid of the witch seeing her when she's in shape.

"I'm gonna get her some water before she realises I'm here." she gets up looking guilty.

"Come on, stay! You just saved her!"

Caroline didn't listen to him. She had already walk away to Jeremy's disappointment.

"Jeremy?" his crush whispers.

The boy forgets the vampire to turn to the witch.

"What happened? You scared the hell out of us." he asks concerned.

"I tried to send Elena a message."

"How did that make you pass out?"

"It's nothing."

"It wasn't nothing, Bonnie."

The witch hesitates but ends up confessing.

"I've been doing a lot of magic lately. It wears me down."

"When I'm worn down, I take a nap. You were...you were unconscious."

"Witchcraft has its limits. If I push too hard, it pushes back."

Their conversation gets interrupted when Caroline shows up to the door embarrassed.

"Jeremy? You have a guest." she says with a glass of water in her hands.

The guest enters under Jeremy's surprise.

"Tyler? What are you doing here?"
