Chapter 4: Information :Written by ASHDU4

Annie and Beth walked away from Jeremy, assuming he was under compulsion, but once they left the room, they heard him make a dash for it.

"Vervain!" Beth gasped.

The girls both ran and caught him before he could leave the house. They quickly bound his hands and threw him sideways onto the floor.

"Lay down. Stay. Good dog." Annie said.

They decided to move him to a safer location in the house, he probably knew something about where Elijah was, they just had to wait for the vervain to leave his system so that they could properly compel him.

The days passed by with still no Elijah. Luka and his father were coming up with a spell to help find him but it needed a lot of ingredients and steps to be performed right so it was taking days, so the girls continued to keep Jeremy hostage. He still wasn't helpful, the only useful information he gave was that Katherine was back in town and had been released from the tomb which Elijah had apparently compelled her to stay in. Beth was not impressed with the new information in fact she was near furious that she wasn't informed of Katherine's part in all this. Elijah was a honorable man and usually had the decency to inform Beth when he would be interacting with Katherine. Not telling her was yet another reminder that he still felt for Katerina Petrova.

Annie and Beth had been taking a break from their week on the town by having a movie day and drinking fresh blood from a local man they met at the grill. Now that the vervain had left Jeremy's system, they let him wander the large house since he was compelled to stay away from the doors and windows. A knock on the door made the two girls stop feeding; both looked confused seeing as Elijah never told anyone other than family where he and/or the girls would be staying. They looked towards the door just in time to see Damon, Stefan, and some blonde girl that Annie recognized as Caroline from Elena's friends list break their door down.

Within seconds a fight had broken out and everyone had their fangs out and was throwing punches at intense speeds. Caroline went to Jeremy's side to protect him from the fight while Stefan and Damon were attempting to detain Beth and Annie. As Stefan lunged at Beth she caught him by the throat and held him against the wall

"I'm older then you little boy, you'd do well to remember that." Beth scolded, before throwing him across the room; denting a wall in the process.

"We're here for Jeremy. Elijah has been daggered and we can't un-dagger him, not as long as he's a threat to Elena." Damon explained.

Annie and Beth took their compulsion off of Jeremy and allowed him to leave with Caroline and the Salvatore brothers knowing Elijah's body would most likely be in their house and knowing that might help Luka and his father find and un-dagger Elijah.

After another quick drink from their human blood bag from the Grill, Annie compelled him to leave and forget them while Beth called Luka's father Dr. Martin and told them what was happening with Elijah. Dr. Martin assured her that he would see to it that Elijah would be un-daggered that night.
