The Vision's Theft

"You know man i think it's really cool that you're taking this police work seriously," said Jeremy helping Matt clean up some random debris that made it into the roadway.

"Yea with most of the police high-tailing it out of here it was just me and Ms. Forbes. I really like helping people and i think i'm going to stick with it," said Matt poudly.

He was wearing a deputy jacket that Ms. Forbes had loaned him dubbing him acting lieuctant while the department numbers were down. She even agreed to help him get his license once things calmed down. Whatever calmed down is by Mystic falls standards.

"I'm envious i mean i wish i knew what do with my life," commented Jeremy.

"What do you mean, Jer. Your a vampire hunter for gods sake. Just a taste of your blood drives vampires insane and death follows. Sounds like you already have a destiny too me," said Matt wondering if this has more to do with Bonnie than anything else.

"Yeah, you're right. I've trained before, but maybe its time to take things a step forward," he said getting an idea he dropped what he was doing and was about to run off.

"Wait Jer," yelled Matt after him, but he was already gone, "just remember vampires didn't kill Bonnie." He feared the worst for his friend that all his sadness and anger may end up missplaced.

He was going to check Stefan's place first, but he had to find Alaric. Afterall, if he wanted to learn from the best no better place to start. It was weird that the front door here was always open then again the residents are vampires what did they have to worry about. "Alaric."

"Hey, Jer," said Alaric genuinely happy to see him. He hadn't seen much of anyone since he returned.

"I know we haven't had time to really talk or hang out, but i think i have a solution to that," said Jeremy actually excited and wondering why he didn't come up with it sooner.

"Shoot, I'm listening," said Alaric putting his cup down on the coffee table.

"Are you drinking blood?" asked Jeremy gesturing toward the cup.

"Yeah, i'm still a vampire. One of Esther's gifts that seemed to follow me from the grave."

"How do you balance that with being a vampire hunter?"

"Their not all the same i learned that way before i died, Jer. So whats this idea?" said Alaic patting Jeremy on the back.

Jeremy briefly wondered if now that he was a vampire if he'd be averse to teaching someone how to kill them. Or if god forbid he did kill one he'd go on that murdér spree against all vampires and vampire sumpathizers.

"While, you were gone i was awakened as a vampire hunter. Damon had been teaching me a few things, but with him gone i could use another teacher. I was wondering if you'd teach me how to be a good vampire hunter."

"Not my perfect idea of bonding time, but is anything normal in Mystic falls," said Alaric laughing a little to himself. "If you are a vampire hunter by blood you're going to attract some to you anyway. Might as well know how to handle yourself when they come. Under one condition?"

"What's that?"

"Don't use it against your friends and family."

"Oh, you mean like Damon. No chances of that anymore."

"Damon, only hurt people when they hurt him and believe it or not he cared about you in his own way," said Alaric.

"I should believe that because you're the authority on everything Damon?" asked Jeremy not exactly believing him.

Alaric laughed, "I wouldn't let anyone hurt you or your sister. Damon included if he were still among the living. But things happen Jer. You don't want them to happen to those you love."

"That's an easy enough promise to make. I'm not going to use anything i learned against you, Elena, Caroline or Stefan."

"We start tomorrow then bright and early. On another note have you spoken to your sister?"

"No."

"That's what i was worried about."

It took Elena awhile to track down Enzo she wasn't as good at tracking as Stefan or Daon was, but she's learning.

"Where are you going? Thought you'd be gone by now?" asked Elena spotting Enzo at the edge of the town square.

"Can't talk now mate business to attend to," he said using his speed to get even further away from her.

"Didn't take you for the running type," said Elena hoping that teasing his ego would work in her favor.

He stopped dead in his tracks and turned to face her, "What do you want to personally run me out of town?"

"No, i want you to help me?"

"I pass princess i have better things to do with my time."

"Exactly, you have eternity without travelers or Augustine doctors just gimme a little bit of it."

"Gotta tell you if you're trying to convince me It's not working," said Enzo growing impatient by the second.

"I need you to help me find a voodoo priestess."

"For what purpose?" smirked Enzo, now she's got his attention.

"I know Damon isn't coming back, but i know i maybe able to see him."

"I miss my mate too, but i'm not down with going on any wild goose chases."

"This isn't what it is. Besides you owe him."

"I don't owe him anything," Enzo yelled anger poring off him in waves, "he's the reason i died anyway."

"Oh now you have amnesia. Stefan stabbed you and from the way he explained it you practically did it yourself. But Damon got you out and he sacrificed himself for you and a bunch of others. So you're going to do this because he deserves a goodbye from his girl and his best friend."

"One question princess why aren't you asking Stefan to save you?"

"He's on a quest of his own and i don't know where he is."

"I'm no Stefan, but i think i know where to look."

Stefan and Caroline ended up in New York. It brought back bad memoies for Caroline of the Stefan doppleganger. Who died needlessly in her opinion all for the travelers sick agenda to wipe out everything. They had a ton of leads tracking down the brother sister duo, but none that really panned out. Stefan was starting to believe that they were covering their tracks magically. Stefan was holding on by a hair and Caroline was just not sue how long she could hold him together. She checked in with Alaric almost everday to keep him updated.

"This is one seedy bar even by the best standards," said Stefan bringing back a drink to their table from the bar.

"Stefan, you know i dont drink," said Caroline pushing the drink away.

Stefan pushed the drink back and smiled, "It's okay to fake it for the sake of our stake out."

"oh right," said Caroline laughing cradling the drink in her hand, "so what are we looking for?"

"I guess we should just keep our eyes open. My contact just said theirs a new witch that frequents this bar."

"I think i spotted her already," said Carolne nodding to a corner table.

"Why do you say that?"

"That table was completly dark. She snapped her fingers and lit the candles."

"We got our girl then," said Stefan drinking the last sip of whiskey.

"What's our next step?" asked Caroline anxious.

"You're going to follow her while i get supplies."

"Why don't i like the sound of that?" asked Caroline worried.

"I dont know Caroline why dont you think about it and tell me later," he said pulling a couple of dollars out of his wallet for the waitress.

Caroline took a deep breath trying to mentally prepare herself things were only going to get worst from here.
