Genevieve's POV
"I'm going to look for Jeremy," I say.
"You already compelled every class with him," Penelope says.
"All the more reason to look for him," I say and walk away from Ruby and Penelope.
I walk down the hallways towards the direction of Jeremy's voice.
"Okay. I gotta get to class," I hear Bonnie say.
"Alright, I'll see ya," I hear Jeremy say and I walk around the corner. He tries to kiss her but she laughs.
"Come on. Elena's nowhere in sight," Jeremy says and she kisses him. I feel my jealousy spike and I glare at Bonnie.
"I'll tell her soon. I promise," Bonnie says.
"Alright," Jeremy says and she walks away.
"You know," I say and he turns to look at me, "If I had a boyfriend like you, I wouldn't hide that."
"And what am I like?" Jeremy asks with an amused look on his face.
"Well, for starters," I start, "You're pretty handsome, you seem like a nice guy, and you have some really nice hair."
"So, you like me for my looks?" he asks.
"I don't have anything else to go off of," I say, "But I'd like to get to know you."
"I'm sorry, but I'm dating Bonnie," he says.
"Are you? Because she didn't seem to think so," I say.
"What's that mean?" he asks, tilting his head. I'm vaguely reminded of a puppy dog.
"If she really liked you, she wouldn't hide you," I say and walk past him.
He grabs my arm as I walk past and spins me to face him. I raise my eyebrow at him and he pulls my schedule out of my hand.
"You have all the same classes as me," Jeremy says and starts walking forward.
He turns around when he notices I'm not following him.
"You coming or not?" he asks and I quickly, but not vamp-quickly, walk over to him.
'Hell yeah!'
Penelope's POV
"Class, we have a couple of new students today," Ric says and I smile widely.
Ruby shuffles awkwardly behind me. I look around the room and see Stefan smiling at me from next to Elena.
"Hello I'm Penelope Luxton and this is Ruby..." I say and realize I don't know her last name.
"Ellis," Ruby says shyly.
"Ruby Ellis," I repeat.
"Well, Penelope and Ruby. I'm Mr. Saltzman, but you can call me Alaric. Take a seat," he says and I smile again.
I take an empty seat next to Matt. He smiles at me and I smile back. Matt is so hot and ever since that vision my sisters and I shared, I feel stronger things for him.
"I'm Matt," he says, holding his hand out to me. I shake it with a smile. And suddenly I get a flashback.
Third Person POV: Mystic Falls 1313
Penelope is wandering through a field. A man rushes over to her before picking her up and spinning her around. The man looks like Matt Donovan.
"Victor, stop," she squeals in laughter.
"Not going to happen, darling," he says and spins her faster.
"Penelope!" a voice calls.
Victor stops spinning her and quickly kisses her lips. He sets her down and Genevieve comes rushing towards them.
"Hi," Genevieve says shyly.
"Hello," Victor says, "I'm Victor."
"It's lovely to meet you, Victor. Penelope, it's time for lunch," Genevieve says.
"Bye, Victor," Penelope says and walks away with her sister.
Victor smirks as he looks both of the girls up and down.
Penelope's POV: Present Day
"Penelope, as you heard," I say, pulling my hand back,
"It's nice to meet you," Matt says.
"It's nice to meet you too," I say with a smile.
Scarlett's POV
I rush into the store and quickly steal matches, water bottles, and six cartons of lighter fluid. I rush back to my car and throw the bag in the backseat.
If you haven't figured out what I'm doing, I'm burning the Wickery Bridge and the sign. There are other ways into the town. I checked.
I'm an Original now and I don't want my sisters and I to be killed. And that White Oak is the only way to kill us. I'm eliminating the problem. I could call Vali, but I'd rather them not find out I'm burning it until later.
I drive to the bridge and smirk. I jump out of my car and speed to the sign; that'll be the first to go.
I coat the sign in lighter fluid and set it on fire with a couple of matches.
I take all my clothes off so they don't get burned and sit them in my car.
I quickly coat the whole bridge with all of the lighter fluid, making sure to get the bottom as well. I'm sure this would look quite weird if I was going at a speed people could actually see.
I set the bridge on fire starting at the side away from town and speed to the other side. I get slightly singed, but it quickly heals.
I put my clothes back on and sit on my car, watching the bridge burn. The odd person comes by seeing the fire, but I speedily compel them away before they can call the police.
When the bridge and sign are completely burnt, I grab a water bottle and dump it on the fire on the ground.
I smirk and dump the sign's ashes in the water below. I pick up any evidence that I was there and hide it in the woods.
I get back in my car and turn it on before I call the police. I throw on my best frantic voice and wait for them to pick up.
"Mystic Falls Police Department. What's your emergency?" the person that answers the phone asks.
"Umm, hi. I saw some smoke and I drove my car out here to see what happened, but I was too late and the bridge is completely gone."
"Wickery Bridge?"
"Yes. Some of the ground was still on fire and I managed to throw my water on it and push the ashes in the river because they were still hot. I don't know what you guys can do know but it's probably good to investigate," I say.
"We'll send someone right away."
"I'm free to leave then?" I compel, hoping he doesn't take vervain.
"You're free to leave," he says and I hang up.
'I think I could get off on this power I possess.'
I drive away with a smirk planted firmly on my face.
Valentina's POV
I walk in the living room and Damon is organizing Jonathan Gilbert's journals.
"What are you up to?" I ask, even though I already know.
"Jonathan Gilbert's journals," he says and I sit next to him.
"What are you looking for?" I ask.
"The place a bunch of witches were massacred in this town a couple centuries ago," Damon says.
"I know it was a big deal in witch folklore. When a witch dies violently, they release a mystical energy marking the place of their death with power," I say, remembering that from the show, which is weird. I must have amazing memory now.
"Elijah wanted to know the site of the massacre," Damon says.
"Elijah had no weapon to kill Klaus, but he believed that if a witch could channel enough power... They wouldn't need one," Stefan says as he enters the room.
"Like the power you get from a spot marked with a hundred dead witches?" I ask and they nod.
"We just need to find it," Stefan says.
Genevieve's POV
"Hey," Elena says, walking up to Penelope, Ruby, and me.
"Hey," I say.
"So, I know you're Stefan's friends. I was wondering if you wanted to join our ladies' night," Elena asks.
"You'd invite us in your house?"
"Stefan trusts you. So, I trust you," Elena says and I smile at her.
"Okay. We'll be there. What's your address?" Penelope asks.
Elena tells us her address. We call Scarlett to tell her we're going to Elena's house. She agrees, but tells Ruby to stay at school until she picks her up.
We go to Elena's house with Bonnie and Caroline. She invites us in and we all go into the kitchen.
"This is Penelope and Genevieve," Elena says, pointing at each of us.
"Hi I'm Caroline," Caroline says and shakes our hands.
"Bonnie," Bonnie says and shakes my hand, but gasps. "They're vampires?"
"I know. They're very old vampires," Elena says.
"And what are you? A witch?" I ask and Bonnie nods. "Rest assured. We will do you no harm."
Penelope hesitates, but rolls her eyes. "Yeah, whatever."
"I'm a vampire. It's nice to have girl vampires here for a change," Caroline says and we laugh.
"That aren't Katherine," Bonnie says and the girls nod.
"Chinese food or pizza?" Caroline asks.
"Like you have to ask," Elena says.
"I will get it," Caroline says and picks up an iPad. She freezes and I glance over to see a picture of her with Matt.
"I'll do it," Bonnie says and takes the iPad.
"Do you believe that Jonas is being sincere?" Elena says and Bonnie glances at us.
"We're not going to do anything about this," I lie and she nods.
"I don't know what to believe. I think he's at a loss. He's not sure who to trust," Bonnie says.
"Join the club," Elena says.
"Well, what are we going to do about this movie situation? What about The Notebook?" Caroline asks and I put my hand on Penelope's mouth when she starts to agree.
'We're supposed to have been daggered for decades. I'll have to remind her of that.'
"Caroline, how many times have you seen that movie?" Elena asks.
"That is so not the point," Caroline says.
"Well, yeah, I mean..." Elena says, but Jenna enters the kitchen.
"Hey," Elena says.
"What's going on?" Jenna asks.
"Girls' night," Elena says.
"Oh. Who are they?" she asks and points to us.
"I'm Genevieve and this is my sister, Penelope," I say and point to Penelope.
"They're new," Caroline says.
"How are you doing?" Elena asks.
"You heard about my fight with Ric," Jenna says.
"He feels terrible," Elena says.
"Is this some kind of disguised attempt to cheer me up?" Jenna asks and Elena looks at us.
"No. No, this is about us girls hanging out and you know, we'll be here if you happen to want to talk, or..."
"Because I am a winner when it comes to successful relationships," Caroline says sarcastically.
"You, too?" Jenna asks.
"You have no idea."
"Okay, then," she says and opens the fridge.
"It's this whole Isobel thing. He's hiding something from me," Jenna asks.
I look at Penelope and gesture for her to play dumb.
"To play devil's advocate, maybe there is a great reason why he's not telling you. Maybe he is just trying to protect you," Caroline says.
"Well, that's not his call to make. I mean, I deserve the truth. Everybody does," Jenna says.
"Not if the truth will hurt you," I offer.
"If it's somebody you care about, it shouldn't matter," Jenna says.
"You know what we need? Dancing. There is a band at the grill," Caroline says.
"I'm in," Bonnie says.
"In," Jenna says.
"In," Elena says.
"In," Penelope says.
"What are we in?" Jeremy asks, coming down the stairs.
"Going to the grill," I say.
"Genevieve! Hey, you wanna help me with this Spanish homework? You rocked in class," Jeremy says.
'I excelled in all of my classes. Maybe it's because we learned it already as vampires.'
"Uh, sure," I say with a smile.
Jeremy smiles at me and grabs ahold of my arm.
Penelope's POV
"Well, come on," he says and drags her upstairs.
Bonnie has a mix between a glare and sadness on her face. I try not to smirk at it.
'Go Genevieve! Go Genevieve!'
Scarlett's POV
After I pick up Ruby, I drive to the Salvatore house.
"I'm going to my room. I have homework," Ruby says and I nod at her.
Damon and Vali are sitting in the living room reading Jonathan's journals. I bounce over and sit next to Damon.
"Can I help you?" Damon asks.
"Are you guys still looking for the witch house?" I ask and Vali nods.
"How'd you know that?" Damon asks.
"I texted her," Vali lies.
"'Emily Bennett was taken by the Council today. They kidnapped her from her home and took her to the same location her ancestors were burned a hundred years ago'," I read.
"Who's Emily?" I ask.
"Katherine's witch. So, Emily died on the site of the massacre, too. Does it say where?" Vali asks.
I grab the journal from him and he grumbles.
"I'm hungry," Vali says, and I know she's not really hungry. She just knows Luka is down there.
"We're reading. Go feed yourself," Damon says and she walks away.
"Well, nothing in any of these. Find anything?" Stefan asks and I continue to read the passage.
"Yes sir, I did," I say and show them the journal page.
They smile at me and Stefan ruffles my hair.
Valentina's POV
I go into the cellar and look at Elijah's body. I wait for the dagger to move and it soon does. I rush to the dagger and keep it down. It stops moving and I look around the room. I see a wooden chair being broken and start to panic.
"Scar!" I scream.
The stake is driven through my heart and it goes dark.
Scarlett's POV
I hear Vali call my name and I rush downstairs. I see Vali on the floor with a stake in her body and I quickly remove it.
I see the dagger moving and I take the flamethrower and spray around Elijah's body. Vali sucks in air and I sigh in relief.
"What are you doing?!" Damon asks, as he and Stefan come into the room.
"It's some kind of crazy witch attack! Get over there and do something about it. Go!" I scream.
Penelope's POV
"I need a drink," Jenna says when she sees Alaric. She walks over to the bar.
Matt walks past us and throws me a smile.
"Hey, Matt," Caroline says, but he doesn't answer.
"Things just got real awkward," Bonnie says.
"He said the ball's in your court," Bonnie says.
"Yeah, but I can't do anything about it," Caroline says.
"Why not? All you do is talk about how much you care about him," Bonnie says.
"Yeah, but I am still keeping so many secrets," Caroline says.
"Alaric's in the same boat with Jenna and maybe that's our mistake. We're trying to protect the people that we love by keeping them out of it, but in the end, we're hurting them anyway," Elena says.
I quickly look at Caroline. "You should let him come to you," I compel, but make it sound like a suggestion.
"You're right. I'll let him come to me," Caroline says.
"But he said the ball's in her court," Bonnie says.
"He probably doesn't mean that. I don't know, though. I'm not an expert. Do what you want," I say, but definitely don't compel.
"I want to let him come to me," Caroline says and I internally smirk.
Genevieve's POV
Jeremy and I finish the last problem and I smile at him.
'Damn. Who knew I was fluent in Spanish? Not me that's who.'
"Thank you," he says with a big smile on his face.
"You're welcome," I say and he just stares at me. "Dude. You're kind of freaking me out."
"I'm sorry. You're really great, you know that?" he says, making me blush and look away.
"Thanks," I say quietly. 'What the hell is wrong with me? He's turning me into mush.'
"You're welcome," he says and his breath touches my face.
I quickly turn my head to see his face right next to mine. He slowly leans in and my breath catches in my throat. I lean in closer and he closes his eyes.
"Bonnie," I say and quickly pull back.
"Well, like you said; she doesn't seem to think we're dating. So why should I?" he says, placing his hand on my neck and pulling me to him.
He quickly presses his lips to mine. I feel my face change and I quickly turn around.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have-" he says but I cut him off.
"No, it's just..." I trail off.
"Would you look at me?" he says and kneels down in front of me. His eyes widen and he gasps.
"You're a vampire. Does Elena know?" he asks and I raise my eyebrow at him.
"You're not afraid?" I ask and he shakes his head with a laugh.
"No. Are you gonna change your face back now?" he asks and sits back down next to me.
"I can't. I haven't drank from a human in a long time. I can hear your heart pounding and I just can't," I say and close my eyes tight.
"Hey. Look at me," he says and grabs my face in his hands.
I slowly open my eyes and he smiles at me.
"Just focus," he says and I feel my face go back to normal.
I chuckle and smile.
"You're like a superhero," I say, then shake my head nervously, "That was stupid."
He rubs my cheeks and laughs.
"It was cute. I don't know what it is about you, but I feel like I would do anything for you," he says.
"We just meet," I remind and he chuckles.
"I know. This feeling is really scaring me," he says. I softly kiss him before backing off quickly.
Penelope's POV
I walk over to Matt and smile at him.
"Hey," he says.
"Hey," I say. "You work here?"
"Yeah, it's kinda lame. I know," he says.
"I think it's great. Teenagers working for themselves is awesome," I say.
"Teenagers? You say that like you're older than me," he says with a laugh.
"I just mean in general," I say with a chuckle.
"Why don't you take a seat? I'll talk with you as much as I can. You want anything?" he asks.
I sit at a table and he smiles at me.
"Could you get me a glass of wine? Put it in a regular cup and no one will know," I say and he smiles at me.
"I could do that," he says and nudges me with his hip as he goes towards the kitchen.
"Um, hey, would it freak you out if I started dating your brother?" I hear Bonnie ask and I mentally chuckle.
'Oh, that's not going to happen.'
"You're into my brother?"
"I know it's weird, but he's been so good and strong. He makes me happy and I really can't tell what you're thinking... Right now," Bonnie says.
"I'm thinking that... My brother isn't into you," Elena says hesitantly and I smirk.
"Really? Why do you say that?" Bonnie asks.
"He seems pretty into Genevieve. Maybe I'm reading that wrong," Elena says and her phone rings.
"My phone. Hey, Stefan, I'm at the grill. I can't hear you. Hold... yeah," Elena says.
"Your juice," Matt says and places my cup down. I chuckle at him.
The scene lights suddenly break and I jump up to stand next to Matt.
"What the hell?" he asks.
The rest off the lights go out, but I can still see everything.
"Power must be out," he says, "I should probably go help."
"Careful," I say and he smiles before leaving.
"Hey," Caroline says as her, Elena and Stefan walk up to me.
"We have a problem," Elena says.
"What's going on?" I ask, even though I know.
"Jonas is here and he's after Elena," Stefan says.
"Oh, my God!" Caroline says.
"We have a plan, but I need to get Elena out of here," Stefan says.
"Well, what can we do?" I ask.
"Dr. Martin! I'm so sorry about Luka. I never wanted that to happen, but... at least let us help you get your daughter back," Elena says.
"Only Elijah can do that," he says.
"You don't need Elijah," I say.
He sets fire to another bar and turns to Stefan, Elena, and me, but Caroline jumps on him. I grab Elena and Stefan, pushing them towards the exit.
Caroline tries to bite Jonas but he gives her a headache with his powers and she screams.
'Damn it, Caroline!'
"Caroline!" I scream.
I rush over to Jonas and push him against the wall.
"Get away from her!" I say.
I feel a small nudge in my mind and chuckle at Jonas.
"Is that all you got?" I ask and his eyes widen.
He stabs me in the neck with a bottle and runs. I roll my eyes and take the bottle out of my neck.
"Oh, my God! Penelope!" Matt yells and rushes over to me.
"Matt, it's okay. I have this," Caroline says, trying to grab him back.
"Are you kidding me, Caroline?! She got stabbed in the neck!" Matt yells and pushes Caroline away.
"Matt, we're vampires. It's okay," I say and point to my neck.
"Vampires. Oh, my God. Vicki, oh, my God, at the hospital, I thought that she was tripping out," Matt says.
"What?" Caroline asks.
"Vicki, she knew about vampires, and I... What... what did you do?" Matt asks.
"Nothing. Nothing! Matt!" Caroline says.
"I need to get out of here," Matt says and starts to leave.
"No, no, no! I can't let you leave. I cannot let you leave," Caroline says and he starts to cry.
"What did you do to my sister?" Matt asks.
"Nothing! Nothing! I swear, I swear, nothing, nothing!" Caroline says.
"What did you do?!" Matt asks.
"Matt! You have to calm down! Matt!" I say and watch as he runs away.
Scarlett's POV
"Hey," I say as I open the door to Jeremy's bedroom.
"What?" Genevieve asks, jumping away from Jeremy.
I raise my eyebrow, but make no comment.
"Stay in here and be quiet," I say and close the door back.
I sit in the shower and listen to Jonas enter the bathroom. I roll my eyes at his stupidity.
"Thank God," I hear Bonnie say as the front door opens.
"It's not over yet," Elena says and I hear her footsteps up the stairs.
Elena comes towards the bathroom. I hear Jonas shuffle around and I jump at him before he can grab her. My face changes and I bite into his neck and quickly change my face back. I drop him to the floor as Stefan, Elena, and Bonnie enter.
"Witches," I sigh.
Bonnie goes toward Jonas's body.
"You didn't have to kill him!" Bonnie says.
"Yes, we did," Elena says.
Bonnie gets closer to him and touches his face, but suddenly he gets up and grabs her face. She screams and Stefan kills him.
We walk back downstairs and Elena turns to me.
"How did they convince you to do this?" she asks me.
"We didn't. It was actually her idea," Damon says as he and Valetina come into the house.
"Thank you," Elena says and I nod.
"You're a friend of Stefan and Damon's. It was our duty to help," Valetina says and I give her a look for her fancy talking.
"When he grabbed me... He gave me my powers back and something else. Jonas wants me to kill Klaus," Bonnie says.
"And did he include a how?" Damon asks.
"Yeah. He did," Bonnie says.
'But it's not going to work,' I think with a smirk.
Genevieve's POV
"So, Bonnie has her powers back?" Jeremy asks.
"Yeah," I say, "Are you sure we shouldn't go downstairs?"
"Totally," he says and brushes my hair behind my ear.
"What about Bonnie?" I ask and he sighs.
"I'll talk to her right now," he says and stands up.
"Jeremy, you can't- We just meet," I say, standing as well.
"And I already told you how I feel. If you don't feel the same-" he starts, but I interrupt him with a kiss.
I feel him smile and he runs his fingers down my hair. He pulls back and kisses my nose.
"I'll be right back," he says and leaves the room.
I smile and spin around. I laugh giddily and sit on his bed.
"Bonnie..." Jeremy says.
"I got my powers back," she says happily.
"Listen," he says, "I don't think we should do this anymore."
"Do what?" she says, her voice not happy anymore.
"This. Us," he says.
"Is this about that new girl? Jeremy, she's a-" Bonnie says.
"Vampire. I know," he says, "I'm sorry Bonnie."
"She probably compelled you, Jeremy," she says and I glare at the wall in front of me.
"Excuse me?!" Jeremy asks. "You know what, Bonnie. I was trying to be nice about this, but if you're going to accuse her of compelling me-" he says, his voice raising with every word and I smirk triumphantly.
"What's going on here?" Elena interrupts.
"Bonnie was just leaving," Jeremy says coldly.
"But Jer-" Bonnie starts.
"Maybe you should just go, Bonnie," Elena says.
"Okay..." Bonnie trails sadly.
"What was that?" Elena asks.
"She accused Genevieve of compelling me," Jeremy says.
"Why would she think that?" Elena asks.
"Because I broke up with her," Jeremy says.
"Are you sure Genevieve didn't-" Elena starts.
"I can't believe you, Elena!" Jeremy screams.
"Jeremy," Elena says, "I didn't mean-"
"Just leave me alone, Elena," he says and I hear his footsteps stomp toward his bedroom.
The door swings open and an apologetic look is on his face.
"Sorry you had to hear that," he says as he closes the door.
"It's okay. I just want you to know that I didn't-" I say.
"I know you didn't," he quickly interrupts.
He goes to his dresser and looks in the drawers.
"I can leave now if you're going to bed," I say.
"Oh, I am going to bed," he says and throws me a shirt and pajama pants.
"You want me to stay here?" I ask.
"You don't have to, but I would like you to," he says and I smile at him.
"Okay."

She does, even without her family's help. I think she'll be changing a lot more.
Lorelai Sofia Petrova-
Thank you :)
