Author's note: So I have decided that I will fast forward to the story and not do others chapter about that they are in another town, maybe do I that as flashbacks, but we will see. We will be in the episode 'Stand by Me' and you will all see how that will play out!
'The universe has to move forward. Pain and loss, they define us as much as happiness or love. Whether it's a world, or a relationship. Everything has its time. And everything ends.' - Sarah Jane Smith from Doctor Who.
Brooklyn did her day just as the other days with her daughter and sometimes Klaus was with them. Just today she got a call from Stefan, which surprised her. She picked up her phone as she said. "Uh, hello."
"Could you come back to Mystic Falls?" Stefan asked to her.
"Why?! Did something happen?" Brooklyn asked worried.
"Yeah." Stefan sighed. "Brooklyn, Jeremy is dead."
"What?!" Brooklyn exclaimed, sitting down on the couch. "How did that happen?"
"We went to an island, to find the cure, but Katherine was on the island as well and she fed Jeremy on Silas and went off with the cure." Stefan explained it to her.
"How's Elena holding up?" Brooklyn asked worried for her little sister.
"She's in denial." Stefan replied to her.
Brooklyn sighed heavily. "It's because she's a vampire right? Her emotions are heighted, but she can't stay that way. I will come back to Mystic Falls, I want to say goodbye to Jer."
"Yeah, I know. And okay, then I will see you soon, Brooklyn." Stefan told her.
"Yeah, bye." Brooklyn said to him as then she hang up, then she put her phone away and went to her daughter. When she was by her daughter, she told her. "We are going back to Mystic Falls, Rose."
Her daughter looked at her. "Okay."
Brooklyn smiled at her. "Okay, we are going to pack." She said as then she texted to Klaus that she was coming back with Rose, because Jeremy is dead.
Brooklyn arrived in the mansion and told to Klaus that Rose has to stay with him, because Elena is in denial and that why she has to come to there, to help. Klaus could look after their daughter as Brooklyn went over there. When she arrived in her old home, she smelled a horrible smell as then Stefan came to her. She looked at him. "What's that smell?"
"It's his body. He's starting to decompose." Stefan replied to her solemnly.
"it's a horrid smell." Brooklyn comment, placing a hand on her mouth and turned a little green.
Stefan looked worried. "Are you okay?"
"No." Brooklyn whispered. "Do you have something that neutralize the smell? Because I want to see him."
"Uh, maybe a mask will help." Stefan suggested.
"I don't think that will help." Brooklyn told him, still a little green. "But, how come that Elena doesn't smell it?"
"She's in denial." Stefan replied to her.
"So in denial that she can't smell it." Brooklyn checked as Stefan nodded to her. "Well, then I have to go in inside then." She sighed. "But in case I will stay close to the toilet."
Stefan nodded to her as then he opened the door and let her inside. Then they walked to upstairs, to Jeremy's room as Brooklyn looked now extreme green and went to the toilet by the shower that was upstairs. Not much later, she went back to him and walked inside on the room as Stefan asked her. "Are you sure you are okay?" He asked worried.
"I will be." Brooklyn replied to him as then she saw her brother's body. "How long is he dead?"
"A few hours to almost a day." Stefan replied to her.
"Yeah, he looks like it." Brooklyn comment, still looking at her brother. "And where is Elena?"
"She's somewhere in the house." Stefan replied to her.
Brooklyn nodded to him. "Okay and can I have a moment alone with my brother?"
"Of course." Stefan nodded to her as then he leaves the room.
Brooklyn walked towards her brother and sat down on the bed. "Jer." She began, her eyes tearing. "Why did it to have to be you? Why do always everyone dies around me?" Her eyes glowed yellow, she sighed. "I don't like it at all. I hate it, I hate it all." A tear fells on the bed. "I will miss you terribly, Jer. I will." She said no more as she cried hard, then she walked out the room and went downstairs.
Then she saw Stefan and Caroline as then she walked out of the house to have some fresh air as Caroline followed her. "Are you okay?" She asked worried.
Brooklyn turned around to see her as her eyes were still yellow. "No." She looked at her. "My brother is dead and Elena is in denial. I haven't even seen her yet and the smell I'm smelling is horrible, I already puked in the toilet and it didn't still help." Blue vines came around her eyes as her teeth sharpened. "And I can barely control myself from transforming into a wolf." She breathed heavily, tears falling down her face.
Caroline went forwards to her. "You need to calm down, Brooklyn."
"I know." She nodded to her. "I'm trying."
Caroline nodded to her. "Alright."
Brooklyn took a deep breath and calmed down a bit, her blue vines and sharpened teeth disappeared, but her eyes remained yellow. "I'm okay for now."
Caroline nodded to her. "That good." She smiled at her. "Try to stay calm."
"Yeah." Brooklyn nodded to her.
Just then Meredith came towards them. "Hey girls." She greeted them.
Brooklyn looked at her. "Hey."
"Hey." Caroline greeted back.
Meredith looked a little shocked to that Brooklyn had yellow eyes, but didn't let her show as she asked her. "I heard you brother died, where is he?"
"Upstairs." Brooklyn replied sadly.
"Thank you." Meredith nodded to her as then she walked inside on the house.
Then Brooklyn looked at Caroline. "I'm not going back into the house, the smell is overwhelming."
"Yeah, I heard you on the toilet." Caroline looked a little disgusted.
Brooklyn makes a look. "Ugh, fine that you heard me."
"Sorry, vampire hearing." Caroline shrugged.
"Yeah, I figured." Brooklyn rolled with her eyes, but smiled at her.
A little while later, they saw Matt coming their way as Brooklyn sat on the porch and Caroline sat the couch. Then he greeted the girls. "Hey."
"Hey." Brooklyn looked at him.
"Hey, Matt." Caroline greeted him back.
"Where is Elena?" Matt asked to them.
"Inside the house, probably upstairs." Caroline replied to him.
"But she's in denial, maybe you can help her with that." Brooklyn suggested to him.
"I will do what I can." Matt told her as she nodded to him and he walked inside of the house to see Elena.
Then Brooklyn turned to look at Caroline. "I want to this day to be over with."
"Yeah, I understand." Caroline nodded to her.
Not much later, Matt and Elena walked out of the house as she saw her sister standing there. "Brooklyn." She looked surprised.
"Hey, Elena." Brooklyn looked at her little sister as then she walked over to her and hugged her. "Jer is dead."
"No he isn't, Brooklyn." Elena insisted. "We are all waiting for him to wake up."
Brooklyn sighed. "Elena you are in denial. He isn't going to wake up, because he's dead. See the truth, sis." She told her sister.
Elena shook her head. "No." She said stubbornly.
"Oh, Elena you can't be in denial forever." Brooklyn sighed. "You have to see the truth." Then she looked at Matt. "Take her away from here."
Matt nodded as then he motion for Elena to come with him. When they were gone, Brooklyn sighed. "Why is she like this?"
"Don't know." Caroline replied to her.
Brooklyn glared a little as she didn't say another word, but sat back down again on the porch.
Hours later, Bonnie and Damon were there as well as Elena and Matt were also back. They all sat around the table as Bonnie spoke. "It's called an expression triangle. I need to complete it for Silas."
"What?" Matt looked in disbelief. "You can't kill 12 people."
"I know it sounds crazy but it's the way to get power." Bonnie told them.
"To do what?" Caroline asked her.
"Once the veil is dropped, the Other Side doesn't exist." Bonnie replied to her. "There's nothing separating us. We're all just one."
"No, that's just crazy, Bonnie." Brooklyn told her. "everybody will come back, not just our loves ones, but also the enemies, murderers people, everyone."
"Brooklyn is right" Caroline told to Bonnie. "Bonnie, you're talking like a crazy person. You are not killing 12 people. And you sure as hell can't invite every monster who's died back into this world."
"Caroline, I think she knows that." Matt told her.
"No, I can do it. I have the power." Bonnie told them. "We can bring everyone back. Jeremy. Alaric. Vicki."
"Bonnie, stop it!" Caroline shouted at her. "You can't just say these things."
"Bonnie, this is just bad." Brooklyn shook her head.
"It's gonna be fine…" Bonnie told them, before the phone rang ending their conversation.
"I'll get it." Elena said.
"I'll get it." Matt offered.
"I said I'll get it." Elena told him as she got up and picked up the phone as the Salvatore brothers came back inside of the house.
"Hello. Elena?" April said over the phone. "It's April. Young. Um I was looking for Jeremy and his cell phone keeps going straight to voice mail."
"Jeremy can't come to the phone right now. He's not… I'm sorry. He's dead." Elena told her as then he hung up the phone and walked upstairs to Jeremy's room, Brooklyn followed her sister, to see her pulling the blanket off his face.
Damon had followed them as well as he said to Elena. "Elena."
"He's dead. He's dead. Damon, he's… He's dead, and he's been dead this entire time, and I…" She put her hand on her mouth. "Oh, my God. I can smell him. How long has he smelled like that?"
"A while." Brooklyn said to her.
"Hey, talk to me, I can help you." Damon told her.
"How are you going to help me? How?" Elena sniffled. "He's… Okay. Okay, we… We have to… We have to get rid of his body. Bring him downstairs."
"We shouldn't…" Damon started, but Elena didn't listen.
"Carry him down, please." Elena told him as then she went downstairs again, Brooklyn followed her. Then she looked at Stefan. "Where's Bonnie?"
"We told Matt to take her home." Stefan replied to her. "It would be best."
"We're going to do this the old-fashioned way." Elena told them.
"Do what?" Caroline asked confused.
Then Damon came downstairs with Jeremy's body. "Put his body on the couch." Elena told him as she walked to the kitchen and searched for something.
"Elena. Elena." Caroline asked to her as Brooklyn stared. "You need help finding something?"
Elena stood up with a bottle of lighter fluid as she started squirted it over the counter. "Got it."
"What are you doing?" Caroline asked to her as she continued to squirted it around the place.
"We need a cover story, right?" She looked at them. "You think I didn't hear you guys talking earlier? What are we going to say? Animal attack? Tumble down the stairs? No. We burn the house down with him inside it."
"Elena." Brooklyn looked at her sister.
"Stop it." Stefan told her.
"Why? You want me not in denial?" Elena looked at him. "You want me to face the truth? This is the truth, Stefan. I don't want to live here anymore. I don't want these sketches. I don't want this Xbox." She went to a closet and grabbed bourbon. "Not going to need this bourbon anymore. Alaric's not here to drink it. Unless you are willing to bring back every supernatural creature on the Other Side to get him back." She looked at them. "Would you? I know you want your drinking buddy back." Then she looked at Damon. "Would you, Damon? Because I wouldn't. I don't know. I mean, does that make me a bad person? I… I have no idea." She grabbed the ring form Jeremy's finger and toss it to Damon, who grabbed it. "He's not going to need that anymore."
"Elena you are not the only one that lost a brother today." Brooklyn told her angry.
Elena looked at her. "You weren't always there."
Brooklyn glared at her at then Caroline shouted. "Elena, stop, you're scaring me."
"What else are we supposed to do with the body?" Elena told her as she throws the frame down on the ground, making the glass crack. "There's no room in the Gilbert family plot. Jenna and John took the last spots." Then she throws the empty bottle of bourbon against the wall and it shattered, then she grabbed a match from the mantle and lit it up.
"Elena, stop." Stefan begged.
"There's nothing here for me anymore, Stefan." Elena shouted. "Every inch of this house is filled with memories of the people that I love that have died. My mom. My dad. Jeremy, and Jenna, and Alaric. John. Even John. I mean, they're all dead. Everyone is dead, so What am I? How am I? I can't even There's nothing left for me." The flame had burned down the match and started to burn her hand making her drop the match. Damon flashed forwards to catch the match before it could on the ground. Elena continued to sob and started to crumble, Brooklyn could only stare at her, sadly.
"Elena, I need you to calm down." Damon told her.
"No, no, no, I can't. I can't I can't." She fell on the ground, grabbing her head. "I can't. It hurts. It hurts. Just make it stop. Please make it stop. It hurts."
"Damon. Help her." Stefan told his brother sadly.
Damon crouched down next to her and pulled her to him. "I can help you. I want you to let me help you. Come on. I can help you."
"How?" She asked to him, tearing on her face.
"Turn it off." Damon replied to her.
"No." Brooklyn looked angry at him.
"What? No." Stefan told him, but Damon held a hand up to stop him from intervening.
"Just turn it off and everything will go away. It's all you have to do. It's what I want you to do. Just turn it off." Damon told her as they all watched as Elena's teary face turned utterly emotionless and still, the light leaving her eyes.
Later, Brooklyn went home. She walked inside of the mansion and saw that Klaus walking towards her. "Jeremy is gone." She sobbed as he took her in his arms and held her. Eventually, Brooklyn fell asleep as then he took her upstairs and laid her on bed. Klaus watched her as she slept through the night as Rose was asleep as well in her bed.
