It has been awhile since I watched TVD but Jenna Sommers was one of my favorite characters and she did not get what she deserved. I hope you guys like this one-shot!

English is not my first language.

I know that the opinions are divided about Damons actions against Caroline so if you do not like them descriped as abusive, you don't have to read it.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in this story or The Vampire Dairies.


So it might have taken Jenna a while to adjust to being the sudden guardian of her teenaged niece and nephew. She had agreed to be there for her sisters children in the event that something happened to her and Grayson a long time ago but Jenna had never thought that it would actually ever happen. Her sister is dead. Jenna will never see her again, hug her again or talk to her sister again.

Miranda had always been a combination of a friend, big sister and mother to Jenna. Their mother had died a long time ago and her sister had been more than a decade and a half older than her. Jenna had always been the baby, the party girl, the outgoing one of the two siblings. But now she had to change. For her sisters children she moved into their home to be with them, to be their guardian. Her, Jenna Sommers, was now responsible for two grieving teenagers. She didn't know how her sister and brother-in-law did it.

So now it's Jenna raising those poor kids. It had been very rocky start for a while there with all of them grieving and adjusting to the new arrangements but now that the school started again it seemed to be getting better for her sister's kids. It had given them a bit of a normal routine to go back to school. No matter how difficult it was for them. It seemed to help more than staying at home.

The grieving, acting out and teenage hormones weren't over of course but Jenna would take all the improvement possible. It had been a horrible summer for all of them.

Elena had found a boy she truly liked, Stefan Salvatore, who was completly besotted with her niece. Elena seemed to be doing alright in school and she had some good friends to help her. Jeremy meanwhile had finally stopped his self-destructive behavior. They seemed to be doing alright and Jenna was just so relieved.

Jeremy had stopped using drugs and started to take his schoolwork seriously now that Vicky had disappeared. Jenna was so proud of him for getting out of it all. She knew how hard it could be to stop all the partying and her nephew had done it so much better than Jenna could have done it in his shoes. Jeremy had even started drawning again. She hoped that her sister could see how well her children were doing.

But there was something strange going on. People turned up dead, drained of their blood or just people who just simply disappeared. They lived in a smal peaceful little town and these sort of things just didn't happen here. But there was a explanation if she dared to believe. Jenna, just like most Founder kids in this town, had been told the stories at some point in her life. Grayson had shown her the journals of his ancestor. She had never believed in them but she did know them. But there were to many coincidences.

Vampires had come to Mystic Falls.

Vampires had come to her town and they were targeting their children. She had seen the two Salvatore brothers obsession with her niece in their eyes. She had seen the older brother threatening and charming his way throught the population of Mystic Falls. They were dangerous.

Jenna had seen the news with all the 'animal killings'. The couple who had been camping, Tanner, Vicky, Logan. They had all disappeared or turned up dead somewhere in a ditch. She had seen the Founder famillies acting strange, meeting more often. She had seen it all even if people thought her oblivious.

And the most horrifying of all, she had seen Caroline.

Caroline. The sweet girl she used to babysit. The smart, wonderful girl who was being abused by an older guy. Her own mother was the Sherrif of this town and yet nobody seemed to notice that something was wrong with that relationship or even with just Caroline herself. They all seemed so charmed by the guy. It was sickening and yet she had seen it happen much to often.

It was only when she heard her niece yelling to her boyfriend about Caroline and Damon Salvatore that everything that happened in the last few weeks clicked.

According to Elena, Caroline was covered in bitemarks. Bitemarks. Someone had hurt the girl horribly and Jenna knew who. And now Jenna knew what.

The stories were true. Vampires.

Vampires. What the hell was she supposed to do against vampires?!

But no, she knew what she had to do. The stories all had one thing in common. You kill them with a wooden stake through the heart. Vampires had come to her town and had started targeting the children. It was time to protect them as best as she could.

Jenna had seen the looks her niece shot to the two brothers when she thought nobody would see and the way they looked at her. Elena was intrigued by the both of them. Her niece was starting to like the guy that had abused her best friend and Jenna did not understand. How could her niece act this way? Did she not see how wrong the two brothers were for her? She knew what they were. She knew what Damon had done to her friend. How could Elena not see?

The time of observing was over. It was time for Jenna to act.

The Salvatore brothers were not innocent. There had been so many deaths in just her little town alone. Jenna would never kill a vampire just because they were a vampire but these were not innocent vampires. They had hurt the innocent before. They had reveled in it even. Not even Stefan was innocent in the bloodshed that followed the two brothers.

Jenna might come over as a bit of a clumsy ditz but she really wasn't. She used to train with her brother-in-law to bond with him when he first started dating her sister and that shall come very much in handy. Who knew that those few hours a week would be useful like this?

She had done her research. She talked to some people who she knew were more than they seemed now that she believed. Jenna knew what the Salvatore had done with their eternity. And what she found was not good. Not good at all. They will not be allowed to interact with her niece anymore. And Jenna would make damn sure that Damon Salvatore would never be able to touch another woman ever again.

For Caroline and the woman that came before her.

She would protect them with actions instead of the ignorance her niece seemed to prefer for the people around her. Jenna would have to spent some more time with Elena when everything was over. It was time to teach her niece how to be responsible for your own choices and to accept the consequences of them. Maybe she could volunteer her niece to work at a Woman's Shelter? It might do her some good.

Elena might hate her if she ever found out what Jenna was planning to do but she hoped that her niece would never find out. Besides who would suspect Jenna? Nobody would think her capable of what she was planning. Nobody even knew that she knew about vampires.

Vampires. Her life had gotten so weird.

Jenna would kill to protect those she loved. Even if it would mean that Elena would lose her boyfriend in mysterious circumstances. She would be better of without the two vamipres circling her. Jenna will protect them.

After all, no one else seemed to be ready to do what it takes. Jenna was so glad she had spent so much time training with Grayson before his death. It had started as a way of bonding with her sisters husband but they had continued with it for years. It had been their sister-brother time. She was so grateful for that time now he wasn't here anymore.

It will come in handy when she has to kill the two vamipres that were hanging around his daughter. Grayson would have liked Jenna going all warrior aunt to protect his children.

Now Jenna might not have been the perfect mother like her big sister Miranda was. She might be a bit clumsy, unable to plan things like a normal adult and she was just about the worst cook ever but nobody hurt her sister's kids. Nobody.

It was time to sharpen the stakes.
