Jeremy:
I was in my room drawing. I knew Damon had returned because I was the one that let him in the house. When Elena and I first moved here we decided that it would be safest to have the house in my name. Stefan and Caroline agreed. Bonnie hadn't talked to Elena or I, since I kicked her our old house when she said some unforgivable things to Elena.
After Elena bit me last night, Bonnie stayed with me to se if I was okay. I was grateful to her for taking care of me even after everything that happened. I was worried about Bonnie; she looked like someone had just died. I tried to ask but she just shrugged her shoulders and shook her head. I was downstairs pouring myself some coffee when I heard a knock at the door. I put down the coffee pot, went to the door and opened it. There I saw my sister with the saddest look in her eyes. Behind her were Caroline and Stefan with wary eyes.
"Elena?" I said shocked that she was allowed out so early. And how did she get a daylight ring. I looked at her hand and noticed there was no ring on her finger, but I did notice a pendent lying on her chest. Elena smiled slightly at me and I noticed her eyes starting to water up. I took a step outside walked over to her and gave her a hug trying to comfort her. She hugged me back with tears falling down her face "Shhh" I said rubbing her back, "Its okay," I wanted to console her, I hated seeing my sister cry. And I honestly wasn't mad at her; I understood the risks when I helped her last night. I understood that she could hurt me but I didn't care. I wanted her to know that I was going to be there for her no matter what. She puled away with a surprised look on her face and then she shook her head.
"Its not okay" she said, "I tried to kill you"
"But you didn't" I said holding her hand.
"But I could have. If Stefan and Caroline hadn't been here I would have killed you," she insisted and then she pulled away. I didn't want her to feel guilty for what happened yesterday. It wasn't her fault and I wasn't angry with her.
"Elena…" I started but she cut me off.
"No Jeremy you don't understand" she said, "I could have killed you in an instinct, you tried to help me and I sucked your blood, I… I did this… I made this transition so you wouldn't have to be alone and here I am almost killing you."
"Elena" he said walking to me and grabbing my shoulders, "Listen to me, I knew the risks when I helped you… I did it to show you that no matter what I will always be there for you…. I don't care what you are… you are my sister and I love you" when I said that she hugged me and began to cry softly.
"Thank you," she whispered when I pulled away, to look at her and I nodded. I ley her go and walked to the door. I wanted her to feel like she was still welcome in my house, her house, our house; this was our childhood home.
"Do you want to come in?" I asked me and she nodded. She entered the house slowly with Caroline and Stefan at her flanks. They were watching her very move, making sure that nothing bad happened. I was grateful to them, but I wanted to spend time with my sister alone. Then Bonnie came down the stairs, she looked at me, and then at Caroline, then at Stefan, then she looked at Elena. She took a good look at Elena and her face showed no emotion at all then she looked enraged.
"You invited her in?" She yelled at me. I froze confused why she got so angry. Of course I let her in she was my sister. I looked at Bonnie and nodded slightly. "Why?" she yelled, "She's not stable… Jeremy she tried to kill you last night." Bonnie didn't look at Elena she just staring into my eyes like she was trying to convince me to kick Elena out. Then she said, "She's a vampire Jeremy and she needs to go!"
"What?" Elena said; Bonnie slowly turned her head and looked at Elena with hatred burning in her eyes.
"Your dead Elena, a vampire… Until you can control yourself… Get Out!" she said walking towards the door and opening it. I heard Elena's breathing became labored and I saw her face contort in anger.
"Your in my house!" she exploded, "Who are you to tell me to get out of my own house!" Stefan ran to Elena and grabbed her arms restraining her. Caroline stood next to Bonnie ready to protect her if Elena snapped and charged at Bonnie. I stood in shock not knowing what to do.
"I'm someone who cares for Jeremy!" she yelled back at Elena, "Unlike you…. If you really cared you wouldn't be here!" That's when I knew Bonnie had crossed a line. Elena cared about her family more thank she cared about anything else. I was even hurt with what she said. Did she really believe that Elena didn't care about me, couldn't she see that Elena was racked with guilt. I saw Elena's face change. Her fangs grew, her eyes turned completely red except for her iris and pupil, the veins under her eyes darken. She was completely pissed and I couldn't blame her. Bonnie her best friend was doing the unthinkable. She looked like she was about to charge when I ran in between them.
"NO!" I yelled. "STOP!" Elena didn't retract her fangs but she looked at me. "Elena" he said walking over to me slowly, "Calm down" she nodded slightly and took deep breaths. Then I walked over to Bonnie "Get out" I said, I was pissed and Bonnie looked surprised.
"What?" she said
"I want you to get out of my house," I said again.
"She's the monster here… not me!" Bonnie started again
"She's my sister and I will always protect my family first!" I basically yelled loosing my patience.
"But…" Bonnie began
"Oh for the love of god Bonnie" Caroline said cutting her off, "Just leave, your supposed to help Elena transition by making her feel welcome and your making her try to kill you. This is her family home Bonnie not her. She has lost almost everyone that she loves; don't make her loose someone else. So until you can accept Elena just stay away form us. Okay." Bonnie just looked at Caroline and then she looked at me and then walked out slamming the door behind her.
"She hates me," Elena whispered looking down. I knew she was on the brink of tears again and I didn't know what to do.
"Elena" Caroline said, "She just needs some time"
"Come here" Stefan, said hugging her. We all walked over to the couch and sat in silence.
"Jeremy," Elena said after a while and I looked at her, "I… want us to be together at all times… I don't want you to be alone at night…. I want you to stay with us at the boarding house." I was surprised, the confused then I felt relieved. I loved this place because it was our family home but it held to many memories, I wanted it out of my life. I wanted us to find a new place to call home.
"To be honest," I said looking around, "I want to sell this stupid house. It has to many memories," Then I looked at Stefan, "Would it be okay if I stayed with you guys"
"Sure Jeremy," Stefan said nodding, "I think it would be good for everyone if you moved in with us. Especially for Elena"
"Are you sure you want to sell your house?" Caroline asked and we both nodded. Our time in this house had passed. It was time to find a new house; it was time to start a time in our lives. . Elena hugged me and I hugged her back, and then I pulled away and kissed her forehead. I went to the kitchen and reheated my coffee then I went upstairs and took a shower ready for my new life to start.
I was pulled out of my flashback when Damon walked into my room. I knew he got back this morning when I heard Stefan and Damon yelling downstairs. I figured he had just gotten back and Elena was going to give him hell for leaving so I let it go.
"Hey" He said and I nodded at him. "So, Elena said that she thought you were seeing Ric's ghost… is it true" I looked at him and then looked down. I didn't know what to say, I didn't know if I should tell him that I had been seeing Ric since he died. I didn't even know how Elena knew I was seeing Ric, I hadn't told her. Suddenly I felt another presence in the room, it was Ric.
"You can tell him," Ric said,
"Is it true?" Damon said again.
"Yes" I said, "I've been seeing him ever since he died, he said he was going to watch over me and I would never be alone."
"Is he here now?" he asked and I nodded, Damon nodded as well and took a sip of blood from his cup. "I want to talk to him," he said and I nodded.
"Okay" I said looking at Ric and he chuckled. Damon looked in the direction I was looking.
"Hey Ric" he said and chuckled slightly, " So how's life on your side"
"Wow" Ric said chuckling, " What's eating him up?" and I laughed.
"Hello!" Damon said and we laughed again, he rolled his eyes.
"Tell him life is good and to just just spit it out" Ric said and I nodded,
"He said he's fine and to spit it out Damon" I said and Damon sighed,
"I never got the chance to apologize. I only gave you that recycled same crap apology I gave to Mason Lockwood and I kind of did when you were dying, but I want to say it again. I'm sorry for everything I put you through, for ruining you life, you know etc. etc. etc." he said,
"Wow he is racked with guilt isn't he?" Ric said chuckling slightly at me and I nodded. "Tell him I'm not angry I forgave him when I was dying, but thanks it's nice to hear a fully worded apology out of him"
"He said he isn't mad at you, that he already forgave you, but thanks again for the apology" I said Damon nodded and took another sip of blood.
"Tell him Thank you for all the times he put up with my crap" Ric said, I looked at Damon,
"He said, thank you for all the times you put up with his crap" I said, Damon chuckled,
"It's only fair since he put up with mine not to mention he was not that bad to have around" Damon said, and Ric rolled his eyes and then became serious,
"Tell him to take good care of Elena" I looked at Ric confused and he nodded,
"He said to take care of Elena," I said to Damon and he nodded,
"I will" Damon said getting up and went downstairs. Ric lay on my bed relaxing. I rolled my eyes at him and went back to my drawing. Suddenly I heard a giant crash downstairs and Damon yelled, "DAMMIT!"
Elena:
I looked around the table. I was so confused I couldn't understand how Klaus was Tyler or Tyler was Klaus, what Bonnie was doing here, what was going on. Klaus looked at me and smirked again,
"You must have a million questions" he said I glared at him and ignored him. I looked at Stefan.
"What the hell is going on?" I asked
"Elena maybe you should sit down" Stefan said,
"I'm not going to sit down Stefan until someone tells me what the hell is going on!" I growled Klaus chuckled,
"Feisty little thing isn't she," I growled at him and he chuckled some more then his voice became serious. "Since no one else is going to say anything I'll do it" I waited and he said nothing. I looked at him confused and he patted the seat beside him I sighed and sat down. "You see the day you were turned a lot of other things happened for one I was almost killed, Alaric finally died," I winced when he said that but he continue, "And my sister threw you off a bridge also some vampires blood was used to turn you, so we have a plan love, the plan is to find out who's blood created you and kill him just because its necessary, then we need to find a way to get me out of this body and back to my old one."
"I thought your body burned" Caroline finally said,
"Wait what are you talking about?" I asked,
"You never told her," Klaus said looking at Stefan who didn't say anything, then Klaus smirked, "Even after everything your still the protective boyfriend" I looked at Stefan confused who avoided my gaze,
"Stefan?" I asked and he continued to avoid my gaze, "What is he talking about"
"Elena…." He started but I cut him off,
"What are you not telling me?" I asked my voice rising, I was getting pissed off,
"Elena you've been through so much…" Stefan began,
"Stefan, Shut Up!" I growled, "I can handle a lot more than you think and I want to know what the hell happened the day I died" I was nearly shouting know Caroline grabbed my arms to calm me down. I took a deep breath trying to calm down. I didn't want to attract any more attention. Stefan didn't say anything and I looked at Bonnie who looked down, I looked at Caroline and she nodded. I knew she was going to tell me.
"Look Elena we didn't tell you because we didn't want to freak you out but then this idiot showed up," she pointed at Klaus and glared at him he just smirked back like the whole scene amused him. "And I guess it's time to tell you exactly what happened. The night that you drowned a lot of other things happened." For the next twenty minutes she told me in excruciating detail what happened that night. I had only known the basics, but what I didn't know was that people had gotten hurt because of me. I did it again; I hurt the people that I cared about. I was a monster; even as a human I was a monster. When Caroline finished telling me the story I looked down at my hands.
"Elena" Stefan said, I looked at him and growled, "Elena listen to me…"
"Shut Up" I growled,
"Elena listen to me" he said,
"No Stefan" I growled, "You lied to me again, and you say you give me free will, you're trying to protect me, but I don't want to be saved if it means the people that I love will get hurt. And guess what Stefan they did. They got hurt again because of me. You all say I am not a monster, but a monster is someone who hurts the people they care about and that is what I do. I am a monster!" I got up with tears in my eyes everyone stared at me even Klaus. But I was so pissed of I didn't care.
"Elena…" Stefan tried again grabbing my hand I shook it off,
"Stefan leave me alone" I growled and walked away. No one tried to follow me, I needed someone to talk to, someone who hadn't lied to me. I took my phone out and dialed a number that had become very familiar over the last couple of months. On the second ring he picked up.
"Hi Elena" he said in his cocky voice and I smiled slightly,
"I see your feeling better," I said and he chuckled
"Yup, See Elena I told you I was fine"
"Yea" I said softly,
"Elena what happened?"
Damon:
I had just finished talking to Ric, and though I would never admit it I felt a little better knowing that Ric forgave me. I sat on the couch sipping the last drops from my cup of blood. I was finally feeling better from my little confrontation with my brother. I laughed to myself how Elena was able to get Stefan to apologize, how she acted like she was older than both of us commanding us around. From any other person it would have bothered the hell out of me, but from her it was just adorable. God I loved Elena Gilbert more than I have ever loved any woman before. I was deep in thought when I was interpreted by my phone ringing. I looked at it and saw it was Elena. I smiled; she was probably calling to make sure I was okay.
"Hi Elena," I said in a cocky voice to make her see that I was fine.
"I see your feeling better," she said in her same worried voice as always, I chuckled,
"Yup, see Elena I told you I was fine,"I said
"Yea" she said softly sadness tinted in her voice, I got worried,
"Elena what happened?" I asked,
"Nothing" she lied, even over the phone I could always tell when she was lying, as a vampire nothing changed, she was the same as always, a horrible liar because she cared too much.
"Don't lie to me Elena Gilbert" I said sternly, "I Always know when you're lying, come on tell me what's wrong" I pains me to hear you so upset, I added mentally, she sighed,
"Klaus is back," she simply said,
"What?" I growled, "He died, I saw him die, I saw him burn,"
"Well apparently, Bonnie did some spell that put Klaus into Tyler's body. Klaus is back Damon I just talked to him," then I heard her start to cry,
"Elena, are you okay? Are you crying?"
"He lied to me Damon, he lied to me again,"
"Shhh" I said, "Don't cry, and just come home,"
"Okay" she said and I hung up, I was seething with anger, my blood was boiling, I felt like I could explode,
"Dammit, Dammit! DAMMIT!" I exploded I started throwing things, breaking things, I didn't care if the living room ended in ruins,
"What happened" Jeremy said rushing down the stairs, he looked around the room and then said, "What The Hell Happened?"
"Klaus" I simply said and threw my cup against the wall, "Klaus happened"
"What?" he said,
