MINE: Let The Plans Begin
Everyone stood in the kitchen and looked at Katherine as though she was some kind of weird specimen with two heads and five eyes. They still couldn't quite understand why she was helping them… if she was helping them at all. Katherine had a tendency of showing up to a place uninvited and wreaking havoc before disappearing, it was just her thing.
"So…" Caroline started, breaking the uncomfortable silence that had settled in the kitchen. Anna–Maria smiled at Katherine. There was something wrong with that smile, something very out. Katherine was smiling too. Her eyes stayed on Anna–Maria, looking calculating, careful.
"Katharina," Anna–Maria said, smiling at the female Vampire. Katherine's smile disappeared and in a moment whooshed to Anna–Maria and dug her hand into the hunter's chest. The blonde gasped in shock, looking from Katherine, to the hand in her chest.
"Maria," Katherine smirk, ripping the hunter's heart out. Anna–Maria's lifeless form dropped to the ground. Katherine turned and placed the still beating heart in Bonnie's hand. "This'll help you destroy Loretta." Katherine walked to the sink and washed her hands ever so casually, like she hadn't just ripped someone's heart from their chest. Everyone else just looked at her in shock. WTF?
"What… the… hell?" Caroline just about screeched the last word. "This… Katherine just… She… And… Whow…"
"Now Jeremy will take back what he said," was all Katherine said, more to herself than to anyone. Everyone remained quiet, trying to figure out why Katherine just killed their only hope at destroying Loretta.
Bonnie suddenly gasped as a vision of Jeremy came to her.
—
Jeremy is standing in the bathroom with a razor in his hand. Tears are running down his face as he slides the razor down his arm. The ring that was supposed to protect him is lying on a piece of paper that has the words 'I'm sorry' written on it.
Jeremy takes the razor with the other hand and slid it down the other arm. He sits down on the floor, leaning against the tub, as the blood flows out the gashed, like water out a tap. He watches it, deep red against rapidly paling skin.
There is desperate knocking outside the door, it is either Elena or Katherine, one of them was trying to get inside, but it is too late, Jeremy's lost too much blood and he's dying. Even trying to turn him won't save him now.
"I'm sorry," Jeremy whispers as he shut his eyes and slowly slips into the abyss of darkness.
—
Bonnie gasped as she was brought back to the here and now. She looked around then spotted Katharine drying her hands by the sink with smirk on her face.
"The dead bitch there was blocking your abilities," Katherine said almost nonchalantly, like she hadn't just ripped out someone's heart with her bare hands. "Now that she's dead, you can See clearly."
"I just…" Bonnie started.
"Had a vision… Yes. It happens to Witches sometimes. And whatever it is you Saw is going to happen unless you… well someone here, can stop it." How Katherine knew all this, Bonnie would probably never know, and she didn't really want to either.
"Jeremy…"
"He won't be up for another hour I'm sure. Our bit of Human tranquiliser knocked him out nicely." Bonnie nodded. She looked at the still beating heart in her hand. "Maria is–was–is—whatever—Loretta's younger sister. She wasn't as crazy as Loretta, but she'd do anything to make the bitch happy."
"She was working with Loretta?" Caroline asked, her eyes wide, looking at the dead woman bleeding out on the floor.
"She was working for Loretta. Loretta is much more powerful than little Maria here, she would've gotten rid of the 'hunter' if she didn't serve her well."
"What about the Saltskovi thing then?" Alaric asked, frowning.
"That was obvious lies. It's easy to lie about something like that when no one's ever really met the Saltskovi breed. They're very secretive. Your neighbour could be a Saltskovi, even your mailman, even me and you wouldn't know."
"How are you planning on destroying Loretta with her sister's heart?" Jules asked.
"Our Witch here is gonna do a type of connection spell, so whatever we do to this heart, we do to hers."
"So you had this all planned out?" Elena asked. She was leaning against Stefan, shaking. The Vampire had his arms wrapped around her, holding her close.
"Exactly."
"But why wouldn't you tell Jeremy? He's broken because of this."
"If he knew he wouldn't have been able to fake hurt–ness, we needed the real deal."
"So Tyler's still in love with Jeremy?" Caroline asked.
"Very much so."
"Jeremy's going to try and kill himself because he thinks Tyler never loved him," Bonnie said. "We have to stop him."
"Damon, Stefan and I will keep guard."
"How?"
"We'll listen in for strange sounds and the scent of blood. And… keep guard."
"I'll take first watch then," Damon said making his way out the kitchen. Katherine grabbed his arm before he could leave.
"Don't try and 'fix' him, it'll make things worse."
"Got you." Katherine let go and Damon went up to Jeremy's room. Katherine sighed then snickered.
"What's so funny?" Jules asked.
"Bonnie, are you going to keep holding that heart like that and staring at it or are you actually going to start finding a connecting spell?"
"Um…" Bonnie started. "Well… I don't even know where to begin." Katherine took the heart.
"By finding the spell. I'll keep the heart." Bonnie nodded. She got up and washed her hands then she went and began looking through her spell book.
"How exactly are we going to get Tyler back?" Alaric asked.
"Easy. If he follows everything the way we planned it, it won't be hard to find him."
"Why are you helping us?" Jules asked suspiciously. Katherine smiled.
"I scratch your back, you scratch mine."
"Obviously," Elena said, rolling her eyes.
"He'll be fine, princess, don't worry." They glared at each other for a moment then Elena looked away. "Don't worry. It'll be over soon."
ooooo
It had been a week since Jeremy had returned home. The three Vampire's assigned to look after him were sitting around the living room, looking at him, making sure he stayed there and didn't try to do anything funny. After Bonnie had told them what she'd Seen they were making extra sure that nothing sharp was around him.
Jeremy was scary quiet at the moment. He had absolutely no emotion on his face. He was just sitting on the couch staring at the engagement ring and armlet that Tyler had given to him. He'd been staring at them for the past hour, unmoving, emotionless, broken.
When he'd first woken up he'd wept in his room, curled up in a ball and let all the tears out till there was nothing, till he was exhausted and his chest hurt from the heaving, till his body ached and his eyes burned.
Once the tears were gone he'd built a wall, shutting out emotions as best his Human mind could. He didn't want to feel anymore, he wanted to be a Vampire so much more now than he ever had before. He wanted to be able to completely turn off his emotions, but he couldn't, this was all he'd get.
He tried to shut out the pain, try and keep it away, but it was lingering. Every time he was close to tears he'd take a deep breath and shut his eyes tightly, stopping the tears and swallowing down the blob stinging in his throat.
Jeremy was tired of getting hurt. He was tired of losing the people he loved, he'd lost his parents, Vicki, Anna and now he'd lost the most important one of them all, he'd lost his Mate, the one he was supposed to be with for the rest of his life and nothing had ever hurt more than this.
Everyone had been tempted more than once to tell Jeremy the truth, take away the pain a bit, but they knew that that wouldn't help him or Tyler and Katherine wouldn't hesitate to rip their hearts out (she'd already threatened to do it). So they all shut up and occupied their time with trying to find something that would help them take down 'Loco–Retta'.
Elena was the most affected. She hated seeing her brother look so broken. She didn't want him to be like this. She had even contemplated asking one of the Vampires to compel him, but Katherine had said it would make things worse than they already were.
Elena wished she could do more for her brother, she wished she could take his pain away somehow, but she had nothing. She couldn't tell him about Tyler because she was afraid that Jeremy would either believe her and try and go find him or he wouldn't believe her and it'd make things worse. She wanted to help her brother, not break him more.
"Jeremy," Elena said gently, sitting beside her broken brother. Jeremy looked at her for a moment, his face void of any sort of expression, then looked back at the ring and armlet. "Jeremy you have to snap out of it." Jeremy said nothing, didn't even twitch, it was almost as if the words went right past him. "Jer, you can't let her win." Elena had been saying the same thing since Jeremy woke up.
"What am I supposed to do?" Jeremy asked in a small, tired voice. It was the first time he'd spoken in days and the voice alone cut right through Elena. He sounded so… so hopeless. "He made it clear that he doesn't love me. What can I do?"
"Fight for him, Jer! You can't give up on him. Giving up is too easy. And you're not one to give up. You fight, that's who you are, Jer, what you are. You've never given up in a fight, why start now? Why stop fighting when it's now that you have to fight the most?"
"He doesn't want me, Elena," Jeremy said through clenched teeth. The tears were coming back, prickling behind his eyelids, but he wouldn't let them out, not any more. He was tired of crying over spilt milk. "He doesn't want me. He said so himself. Why should I have to fight for what isn't even mine to have?" Elena looked around desperately. She didn't know what else to say that would make her brother feel better.
"Jer…" She tried to touch his arm but he flinched away.
"I'm tired, Elena," Jeremy said, his voice so low that Elena strained to hear him. "I'm going to bed." Jeremy got up and made his way up the stairs slowly. Elena turned to Katherine and stared daggers at her for a good five minutes. Katherine faked a shiver.
"If looks could kill," she muttered. Elena continued to glare for another few minutes.
"It's hurting him, do something!" Elena finally said, anger and hurt clear in her voice.
"All in good time," Katherine said.
"Maybe you don't want to help us. Maybe this is just you ruining my life!"
"I want Loretta gone as much as you. You can't tell him anything yet."
"Why not?! My brother is hurting, Katherine! I don't know what to do anymore."
"Just let him b— —" Katherine fell quiet and she, Stefan and Damon stood on alert. "Shit!"
"What?" Elena demanded, watching Damon and Stefan rushed up the stairs. "What?!" she repeated more desperately.
"Nothing." Katherine also rushed stairs. Elena could hear Damon and Stefan calling Jeremy's name and pounding on a door. Elena ran upstairs and found them standing in front of the Jeremy's door. "We'll have to break it down." Stefan nodded then he shouldered the door open.
Elena gasped when she saw Jeremy lying in bed with an empty bottle of sleeping pills and a bloody razor. His left wrist was bleeding badly. His ring was lying on the floor along with Tyler's armlet and the engagement ring. There was also a note with the simple words: I'm sorry.
Jeremy… he…
"We need to get him to the hospital," Damon said, already rushing towards Jeremy. Stefan pulled Elena into his arms as she silently wept.
"He's not dead yet," Katherine said. "But the pills and blood loss are working fast." Damon picked up Jeremy's limp body and rushed out the room and downstairs and to his car.
"We'll follow you," Stefan told Katherine. She nodded then rushed out the room. "Come on, we have to get to the hospital." Stefan picked up the spell–casted ring then led Elena out the room and to his car.
ooooo
Everyone—everyone being Elena, Stefan, Damon, Bonnie, Caroline, Matt (who'd been let in on the secret at some point during the week), Jenna (who'd been called from work), Katherine (who was wearing a hoody to hide her face) and Carol Lockwood (who'd also been called)—was sitting at the waiting room anxiously awaiting news on Jeremy's state
"Ms Gilbert," the doctor said, looking around. Jenna and Elena both got up and rushed to the doctor.
"How is he? Is he going to be okay?" Jenna asked quickly.
"He's going to be fine." Both Elena and Jenna sighed in relief. "The cut on his arm was quiet deep but we managed to close it."
"What about the sleeping pills he took?"
"We pumped out his stomach. He'll be fine. We want to keep him here for a while, just to monitor him." Jenna nodded.
"Can we see him?"
"Yes, you may."
"Thank you." The doctor led Jenna and Elena to Jeremy's room.
"Just don't bother him too much." The doctor walked away and Jenna and Elena walked into the room. Jeremy was lying in the bed with machines hooked up to his body. The women both breathed in deeply then stepped closer to Jeremy's bed.
Elena took Jeremy's hand and watched him as he lay on the hospital bed, unconscious. She really wanted to tell Jeremy the truth, she really did, and at that point, she'd rather die than see her brother like this.
"Jeremy," she whispered. "I'm sorry so for this. I'm sorry you had to go through this. Tyler does love you. He really does." Jenna looked at Elena with surprise. She still hadn't been told about Jeremy and Tyler being together, but now she knew. "He really does. He did it because he loves you. I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth, I'll tell you though, I promise."
Elena kissed her brother's forehead. She stepped away from Jeremy. She blinked and the tears slid down her face. Jenna wrapped her arms around her niece, giving the same comfort she need.
"I'm so stupid. I should've just told him the truth."
"It's going to be okay Elena," Jenna said. "It'll be fine."
"We don't know that."
"We'll make it better. I promise. Come on, let's get you home." Jenna led Elena out the hospital room and they joined the others. "We're gonna head home now." Everyone nodded. Jenna led Elena out the hospital and she drove them home.
ooooo
Yet another week went by. Jeremy was released from hospital and he'd spent all of the time in his room. The only upside was the fact that his door was broken so he couldn't shut it. Elena tried numerous times to get him out of bed but he wouldn't budge and they had to force feed him often. She'd promised herself that she'd tell Jeremy the truth, but it seemed that Katherine was always there to shut her up. Elena felt horrible for what was happening to her little brother. She wanted to help him, to fix him.
—
"We have to tell him," Elena said.
"Not yet," Katherine replied nonchalantly.
"What? He's hurting. He tried to kill himself!"
"Go to school, princess, I'll handle this."
"Katherine— —"
"Go! Now!" Elena glared at Katherine. "You've already missed a week, you have to go." Elena sighed. "Don't worry, I'll look after him."
"You— —"
"Just go!" Elena huffed but—very—reluctantly left the house and went to school. Katherine took Jeremy's food up to him. "Up!"
"Go away, Elena."
"I'm insulted." Jeremy sighed but didn't say anything. "Wake up, it's a new day."
"Leave me alone!"
"Either you wake up and eat your breakfast or I'll drag you out of bed, shove you in a cold shower and then shove food down your throat. You have five minutes to decide." Katherine sat down on the edge of Jeremy's bed and waited for him.
Jeremy sighed and sat up slowly. She'd already done it once already—the crazy bitch!—and a second time was just not on. Jeremy took the breakfast tray and placed in on the bed. He began to eat his bacon and eggs slowly. Katherine turned and smiled.
"You still believe I threaten without action?" Jeremy didn't reply, he just continued to eat. "If you bring it up after you've eaten I'll make twice as much and force it down your throat."
"I hate you," Jeremy said, his voice barely a whisper. He didn't even bother to try and put emotion to the statement.
"Eh, join the club, so does everyone else. I'd give you application forms, but I've currently run out. But as soon as I have more, I'll hand them over to you to fill in." Jeremy finished his breakfast and pushed the tray away. "Now was that so hard?"
"I still hate you."
"Eh." Katherine shrugged; picking the tray up then left the room.
ooooo
Jeremy was sitting on the couch, blankly staring at the TV. Elena sat down beside her brother, looking at him with gentle but worried eyes.
"Jeremy— —" she started but was cut off by her brother.
"Please don't," Jeremy interrupted. "Don't try and make me better."
"But— —"
"I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear about how I can still fight, how I never give up or any of that. I'm tired okay? Just… I don't have the energy to try and fight for what isn't mine."
"But he is yours," Katherine said with a sigh. "If he wasn't, it wouldn't hurt as much as it does." The two male Vampires and the human girl looked surprised. They hadn't expected Katherine to spill, not after all the threats she'd been giving. Maybe the suicide thing had been a punch in her dead heart.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"He loves you so much he risked his own life for yours. He knew that the only way to get you out of that place was to fake that he remembered Loco. Now it's going to be your turn to help him." Jeremy looked at Katherine, and for the first time in days, an emotion appeared… hope.
"You…."
"After you failed at being aroused I went to plan B. It was the only way. He's crazy enough to risk his own life to save yours. He'd much rather die than have you die. He loves you." Jeremy looked at the armlet and ring—he carried them everywhere, with no real reason—for a moment more than he put them on.
"I want him back," he said with determination. "What do I have to do?" Katherine smiled at him.
"Have a shower and get dressed, I'm going to take you somewhere." Jeremy nodded then got up and left the room.
"So much for not telling," Damon commented offhandedly.
"I said you couldn't tell him."
"Where are you taking him?" Elena asked. Though it appeared that Katherine was on their side, the doppelgänger still couldn't be trusted.
"We're going to train him."
"'We'?"
"Bonnie and I."
"You and Bonnie?"
"Yes. Loretta's a Witch. She'll use Magick to defend herself. Like the Originals, she used a spell to make herself Vampire–like, though she's not a real Vampire, she just has the benefits of a real Vampire. The only person strong enough to destroy her is Jeremy."
"But Bonnie's the Witch."
"Bonnie is going to connect Loco's heart with Maria's, that's all she can do for now."
"Can't we just stake the heart here?" Alaric asked. He'd been listening in on the conversation since it started and was quietly taking note of everything being said.
"Negative. As helpful as a connecting spell is, it's only a back–up plan."
"Meaning?"
"If Jeremy fails to kill Loco himself, he can stake Maria's heart and it'll affect Loco only slightly, but it'll be enough for him to finish her."
"I don't like it," Elena said.
"You don't have to, princess. It's happening either way." Elena and Katherine argued for a few more minutes then Jeremy came downstairs looking refreshed. Katherine smiled. "Ready?" Jeremy nodded. "Alaric, would you be kind enough to donate a bag filled with your Vampire hunting gear to a boy in need?" Alaric nodded.
"I could get that arranged," he said, getting up to go get the bag.
"Good." Katherine got up and went to the kitchen. "Bon–Bon," she said. Bonnie looked up at her. "I need your help."
"Mmhmm…"
"It requires you using your Vamp attacks on a Human." Bonnie looked at Jeremy who was standing at the kitchen door looking a lot better than he had in a while.
"How much 'Vamp attack' are we talking?"
"Little by little by little till it doesn't affect him anymore."
"Is he ready for that?"
"We'll talk him through it." Bonnie nodded.
"The spells done by the way." Katherine nodded, smiling.
"Good."
"When do we start?"
"Your bit of the training starts tomorrow. Today it's just me, Damon, Stefan, Jeremy and a bag of Alaric's finest tools." Bonnie nodded.
"'Kay."
"Good." Alaric came back with two bags. Katherine took one but quickly dropped it as it burned her hand. "The hell?!"
"Vervain," Alaric said smiling.
"Right… Well we prefer one without Vervain, please." Alaric smirked and handed the other back to Katherine who looked at suspiciously and extended her hand to take the bag reluctantly.
"No Vervain in them."
"Thanks." Katherine went back to the living room. "Damon, Stefan, Jeremy, ready to go?"
"What about me?" Caroline asked. Katherine made a face.
"You're going to stay here and help Bonnie. Let's go you three." The three boys nodded.
"Don't be too hard on him," Elena said as the four left the house.
"No promises, princess."
ooooo
"First things first," Katherine said, dropping the bags she had on the Salvatore's living room floor. They were going to train there because it was the safest location to be at the moment. "We need to move the furniture."
They all did that quickly. Katherine picked up the duffle bag she'd carried in and threw it at Jeremy who caught it easily enough. Katherine smiled.
"Good reflexes. Go put those on and get back quickly." Jeremy nodded then disappeared into one of the rooms. "Show as little mercy as possible. We gotta strengthen this kid. He's strong, but he can be easily breakable." The Salvatore brothers nodded.
Ten minutes later Jeremy walked into the living room dressed in black clothing that looked like something a spy would wear, having many places to put gadgets and what have you—but it worked well for a hunter too.
"Good, you're ready. Let's get started shall we. I'm pretty damn sure Loco has Vampire's on her side, so you're going to have to fight them off before you can fight her." Jeremy nodded. Katherine looked at Damon and he nodded and stepped forward.
"Vampires are deadly," Damon said. "The only thing that stirs them on is bloodlust. They are strong, they are fast and if you make one mistake, one small calculation error… you're dead."
"Always concentrate," Stefan said. "Stay focused at all times. Lose any concentration— —" Katherine grabbed Jeremy's arm and held it behind his back almost painfully and with the other hand grabbed Jeremy's hair and pulled his head to the side exposing his neck. She placed her fangs by the neck but didn't bite down, "—you're dead." Katherine let go of Jeremy.
"First weapon," Katherine said walking to the weapons bag and pulling a bottle out. "A bottle of Vervain. A Human can drink it in order to make a Vampire weak if the Vamp tried to drink the Human's blood, it can also be a weapon, you throw it at the Vamp and it can serve as a perfect weakening weapon so you can stake the Vampire. Here," Katherine threw the bottle at Jeremy. He caught it, almost dropping it but being able to get a grip on it before it slipped. "Drink up." Jeremy opened the bottle and drank the content in the bottle quickly, swallow without thinking about it.
"That brings us to our second weapon," Damon said. "The stake. There are different sizes that can be used, different shapes. This," Damon threw the cuff–like (1) thing at Jeremy, the thing had small stakes sticking out of it, "is one of the varieties." Stefan rolled in a dummy. "Put it on and try it out."
Jeremy put the cuff–thing on then stood in front of the dummy. He looked at the three Vampires, waiting for some kind of instruction from one of the Vamps.
"Try and punch the stakes into the dummy," Stefan instructed. Jeremy tried it but the stakes just bounced off the dummy. Instead, his arm hurt.
"You need to do it harder," Katherine said. Jeremy tried again, but the stakes just bounced off. "Harder! Imagine it's your worst enemy. Imagine that she's just threatened to kill your aunt and sister. Are you just gonna tickle her with those stakes or are you going to stab her?" Jeremy tried again but still nothing.
"I can't do this," Jeremy muttered sounding hopeless as he shook his head. Katherine sighed.
"Try channelling all your energy into the punch," Stefan said. "All that anger I know you have, put it all in the punch. The punch is your anger. The dummy is the person who's stolen the most important thing in your life. You'll never have it back if you don't get rid of the enemy."
Jeremy breathed in deeply, imagining Loretta touching what was rightfully his, making her make his Mate lie to him in order to save him. Jeremy took all that anger, concentrated then with all his might punched the dummy. When he pulled away he found the four small stakes lodged in the dummy's chest area. The Vampires smiled to each other.
"Let's move on," Katherine said.
So for the rest of the day Jeremy was taught how to fight off Vampires and how to dodge them and stake them, Katherine, Stefan and Damon being the dummies. As the day progressed Jeremy got better and better and by the time night came he could dodge and stake quiet well.
"So then," Katherine said. "Tomorrow Bonnie's going to teach you how to fight bad Magick." Jeremy nodded. "Let's get you home."
ooooo
Jeremy was woken by a hiss and someone trying to bite him. His reflex helped him grabbed the stake the was under his pillow and staked whoever the person was without opening his eyes.
Jeremy heard a familiar gasp and opened his eyes. He found Katherine staring down at him. He quickly pulled the stake out and Katherine rolled off the bed. She got up slowly with a smile on her face.
"Good boy," she said. Jeremy got out of bed and stretched.
"You're a crazy bitch you know that," he said. Katherine only smiled.
"Get ready, we're leaving in half an hour." Jeremy sighed then left the his room and went to the bathroom. He had a shower then went down and had breakfast.
"Morning," Elena said smiling at her brother.
"Morning, Lennie," Jeremy said, smiling.
"How're you feeling?"
"Refreshed."
"Good." Elena kissed her brother's head then handed him some toast and eggs. Jeremy quickly started attacking the food. Elena sighed, she was glad her brother was back, even if it wasn't the same Jeremy, it was Jeremy none–the–less.
ooooo
"Bonnie," Katherine said, looking at the witch. "Are you ready?" They were back at the Salvatore home, this time Jeremy was going to be trying to fight Magick.
"Yeah, I'm ready," Bonnie said, nodding her head. She looked a bit nervous, but she knew she had to do this, play her part properly.
"Jeremy, are you ready?" Jeremy nodded, shaking his hands at his sides and mentally and physically preparing himself.
"Yep," he said, letting out a deep breath.
"Good. Remember, the Magick she'll be using as defensive will be more mental than physical. You'll have to fight that. And another you need to bear in mind is that she's not trying to kill you, but Loretta will be." Jeremy nodded. Katherine nodded at Bonnie. She picked up her hand and faced it towards Jeremy.
Jeremy let out a gasp as a pain began at the back of his head. The pain slowly intensified, moving through his head, spreading all around.
"Fight it," Katherine said. "The pain is nothing but a figment of your imagination." Jeremy grabbed his head as the pain got worse. He dropped to his knees, feeling dizzy. "The pain cannot beat you. You need to beat the pain. This is the same Magick that Loretta is going to be using. If you can't fight off this then she will kill you."
Jeremy concentrated on getting the pain away. It hurt so much, like nothing he'd felt before. It was almost like his head was going to explode the pain was so bad.
"Fight it Jeremy. If you can fight this off you can fight her off and you won't be able to help Tyler." Jeremy continued to fight the pain away. It hurt really badly but he had to fight it, if he wanted his mate back he had to fight!
Slowly the pain began to disappear. Slowly it began to go away till there was nothing but a dull ache at the back of his head. Slowly he got up and blinked, clearing his blurry eyes. He wiped the tears from his face.
Katherine nodded at Bonnie who then added more oomph into the spell she was doing. Jeremy flinched as the pain came back but he fought it as best he could (2). And just like before, it was hard at first, but slowly the pain began to subside till it was nothing but an ache.
Jeremy stood up straight and looked at Bonnie who looked like she was concentrating really hard. Katherine was smiling to herself like she'd won the lottery. Bonnie finally let her arms fall to her side and she smiled at Jeremy.
"You've got this," she said, smiling at him. Jeremy nodded.
"Take a break," Katherine said. "We'll continue with the Vamp training in an hour." Jeremy sighed then sat down on the couch exhausted. But even though he was tired, he wasn't going to stop fighting, he was going to get his Mate back no matter what!
…TBC…
So… What'd'ya think? Is it good? Like I said before, I'm not an action–y type of girl, I work the sidelines. So yeah… I hope you all enjoyed this chappie=)
(1) It's that thing that Elena was practicing with, when she couldn't stake the dummy but was able to stake Stefan with… Yeah
(2) Not exactly sure how that spell works, so just go with it, pretend what I said is true.
Anywhoo…
