James' POV
I could hear the conversation in the other room loud and clear. It was making me so frustrated. Why was I the prize for this ridiculous game? I know that my friends are just trying to make me safe and not have to be with Katherine but it's like both sides are treating me like an object! I'm actually considering jumping out of the window and just running away but in the back of my mind I know that it won't help. Curse the sensible side of me!
I heard that Katherine was going to try and talk to me but she tried the doorknob and then stopped. She could break the door down if she wanted to and yet she isn't?
"James" I heard her faintly say my name.
"What?" I asked a lot calmer than I was earlier.
"Can I come in?" she asked.
"No, I want to be alone" I told her.
"Please, we really need to talk" she told me.
Is this the same Katherine? The Katherine that didn't want to give me any privacy and was glued to my side.
"About what?" I asked.
"I'm sorry" she said.
"What?" I choked.
"Look, I'm sorry and your right I was acting like a brat...it's just I haven't seen you in years and I don't want to lose you again" she explained.
I wasn't sure whether to trust her or not but then I remembered this was part of the game! She had to be nice otherwise she would lose. I have her all figured out but I might as well play along. I opened the door and she ran at me and hugged me.
I sighed and hugged back, the guys were looking at me strangely but I just sent them a pleading look saying 'help me and I'll explain later'.
They nodded and I pulled away from the hug.
"I'll show you to the guest room and you can sleep there" I told her.
She nodded and replied "Ok, do you forgive me"
I gulped and answered "Of course I do, I shouldn't have shouted at you like that"
"Great" she smiled "I'm going to go and get my luggage tomorrow while you're at the studio"
I nodded and left her in the room. She actually trusted to leave me alone now? She was taking this whole thing way too seriously.
I walked back out towards the guys and they looked at me their eyes asking a million questions. I knew that I couldn't say anything to them without Katherine hearing so I sent Kendall a text so he could show everybody.
To: Kendall
From: James
This is part of the game! She is only pretending to be nice! I'm playing along just so you know!
They nodded and I said "I'm going to go to bed; it's been a long day"
"I agree" Kendall said.
Stefan and Damon went to their guest room and we went to our rooms.
I was so confused by the random events and to top it all off, I have to sing, dance and explain more of my life story to Gustavo and Kelly tomorrow!
What a great, never- ending unless I get killed life I have.
Kendall's POV
For most of the night I was up making plans in my head but then deciding that they wouldn't work. Katherine has started to be...nice which is something that we never thought possible. She is trusting James but where is she actually going to go? I doubt that she is actually going to get her stuff; she will probably go buy some new clothes and then go sneaking around. If we catch her sneaking around then she'll lose. I'll have to get Damon and Stefan to follow her around.
Before I knew it, the morning sun had risen and it was time to get up and face another day with Gustavo...yay
I got up, figuring that I can just sleep in the limo on the way to the studio or in the studio itself if I really needed to but to be honest I don't really need sleep now.
I could smell bacon and eggs being cooked in the kitchen but I wasn't sure who it could be. Logan doesn't make breakfast anymore even though we all protested against that, James never gets up this early and Carlos...Carlos shouldn't be trusted in the kitchen. Sometimes he can make great food, and I mean great food, when he is being supervised but when he is on his own he tends to cause fires.
That left me with three possible options...Damon; even though he doesn't seem like the person to cook.
Stefan; who seems like he could cook but probably wouldn't without asking first.
And Katherine...
I decided to go and investigate; there was no harm in trying.
I walked out, while dragging my feet across the floor. It was too much effort to try and lift them up. Then I suddenly came to a halt when my worst possibility came true. Katherine was in the kitchen cooking a full breakfast.
"Morning Kendall" she smiled while holding a frying pan and putting the eggs on a plate on the table.
"What are you...doing?" I asked.
"Well as I'm staying in your home, I thought that I should cook you all some breakfast. I went out and brought some groceries because you guys were running low" she answered.
I mentally cursed, she has already been out which means that she could have done anything; like breaking the rules.
I took a deep breath and noticed that she was waving her hands in front of my face.
"What?" I said dazed.
"I said sit down, otherwise your breakfast is going to get cold" she laughed.
She walked out of the kitchen and I wasn't sure whether t o eat the food or not.
"Kendall?" she asked.
"Yeah..." I answered.
"How do you wake Carlos up?" she asked.
"I'll do it" I sighed while getting up. She looked at me confused so I explained "He has to be woken up in a specific way otherwise you are going to get no response"
"I remembered Carlos as the one who always got up first and his motto was 'the early bird catches the worm'" she replied.
"Oh no, he does still get up early...ish but ever since we came to Hollywood he has a tendency to sleep in now" I said.
I didn't know why I was talking to her but I guess I have to. As I went to wake up Carlos I couldn't help but remember the times we shared back in 1864.
"Kendall, do you have to leave" Katherine pouted.
"Yes, sorry Katherine but it has always been a dream of mine" I explained hoping that she would understand.
"Can't you wait? We could travel the world together just you and I!" she suggested.
"You know I can't do that...but you could always come with me" I offered.
She sighed "I can't, I'm staying with the Salvatore's and I think that they would find it very rude and impolite of me if I just get up and leave"
I took her hand in mine and kissed it. That was about as far as we could go even though I longed to kiss her beautiful lips but it was deemed bad if it was before marriage or in public.
"When are you leaving?" she asked.
"Katherine, don't worry about that...lets' just enjoy the time we have with each other now" I tried to convince her.
"Kendall when are you leaving?" she replied though gritted teeth. She was obviously angry but I wasn't sure whether the answer would make her angrier or not.
"A couple of days after James' wedding" I whispered.
Her eyes filled with tears that were threatening to spill over the edge. I didn't care if we were in public or not I pulled her into a hug. I smiled on the inside when she hugged back because that meant that she wasn't angry with me and would actually want to still spend time with me.
"I don't want you to leave" she whispered.
I knew that she was crying because her voice came out in a whisper and my shirt was soaked. In a way she was very childlike; naive and gentle but on the other hand she was mature and beautiful.
"Don't worry, I'll be back before you know it" I promised.
If only I knew that I wouldn't be leaving in the first place.
James' POV
For the first time in many years I actually had a dream. I was worried that someone, mentioning no names...Katherine, had got inside my head and was inducing the dream but I couldn't check because I couldn't wake up. Also I was convinced that it wasn't a dream because it was a memory. A terrifying memory that I have been trying to forget but always comes back to haunt me.
The night before Roses' death
The night before my wedding
"James, you shouldn't be here" Rose laughed as she stepped outside her house.
"I know but I had to see you and give you this" I replied while pulling a rose from behind my back.
I gave it to her and noticed how beautiful her smile was in the moonlight.
"It's beautiful, thank you" she told me while sniffing the rose.
"The scent is magnificent, just like you" I smiled.
She laughed and replied "Always the charmer"
"I know but soon we will be married" I said.
I then noticed how she was shaking.
"Are you ok, Rose?" I asked concerned for my future wife.
"I'm scared" she replied.
I hugged her and said "Don't worry! Tomorrow we shall be married and legally together! We'll be able to get jobs, have children and grow old together"
"It's not getting married that I am afraid of" she told me.
"What is it then?" I asked.
"You'll probably think that it is silly" she sighed.
"Rose, I love you and I promise that I won't laugh" I assured her.
"Ok, it's about the beast..." she told me.
I pulled her into another hug and she returned this one but started crying into my shoulder.
"Sshh" I soothed while stroking the back of her hair "I promise to you that I will protect you and that the beast won't come near you"
"But...I've heard rumours that it is a vampire" she whispered.
Katherine popped into my mind...but she promised me that she wasn't the one doing the killing and I couldn't tell Rose about Katherine being a good vampire because then I am betraying Katherine and I will probably ruin my marriage.
"Vampires are fictional creatures that live in fairy tales, there is no way that there could be one in Mystic Falls plus it is such a small town why would they come here?"
"Ok, I believe you" she sighed.
"Well I should be going" I told her.
"Can't you stay with me for the night?" she pleaded.
"I'm sorry but we all know that it is unlucky plus if anyone found out then we would be in trouble"
She nodded and looked at the floor. I lifted her chin and her big blue eyes stared into mine.
"Just think tomorrow we will be Mr and Mrs Diamond and then we will be able to spend the rest of our lives together"
She smiled at the thought and gave a short wave before returning into her house.
Then the scene changed, I came to the realisation that this wasn't a dream it was a nightmare. Katherine coming back was like a punishment because I had basically cheated on Rose and then after Rose died I was still with Katherine even though she was the reason for Roses' death. Fate is telling me that I chose Katherine and now have to live with me choice. But I have never believed in fate before so why now?
I got out of the horse and carriage to go and wait for my bride.
"Are you nervous son?" my Dad asked me.
"A little" I admitted.
"Don't worry, Rose is a great girl" he told me.
I smiled and went to the lawn with the other guests until I found Kendall, Logan and Carlos.
"Are you ready?" Kendall asked me.
"I'm not sure" I panicked.
"Don't worry, I'm sure everything will be fine" Logan reassured me.
I smiled and Carlos added "I can't believe that this is finally happening"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"You have wanted to get married for so long and now you have found the perfect girl" he explained.
I smiled but couldn't reply because screams were heard from the forest. We all ran towards the horrific screams and I was praying that Rose was alright but turns out she wasn't.
When I entered the forest I fell to my knees. I didn't have the strength to stand up and tears were pouring from my eyes. This was my fault.
Rose was hanging from the tree and her throat had been slit, what made it even worse was there was a note in her hand saying 'You promised to protect me'
I woke up screaming and everyone came running towards me.
"Jamie are you ok?" Katherine asked but when she touched me I flinched.
"James..." Kendall called out.
But I couldn't respond. The image of Rose was in my head and I couldn't remove it from my thoughts.
I knew that I was shaking and for the first time since I went bloodlust I had no control over my body. The logical explanation would be that I was having a panic attack but nobody else could see it.
"How can we help him?" Logan panicked.
"I don't know...I've never seen anything like this before" I heard Stefan say.
I put my head in my knees and started rocking while saying "It's all my fault"
"What is your fault?" Damon asked.
"Rose, I'm sorry" I whispered.
"Who is Rose?" Damon asked.
"Rose was James' fiancée but she got killed before the wedding by...her" Kendall answered while pointing to Katherine.
"Ahh, she done the same to Stefan as well" Damon replied.
"Guys! Can we worry about James right now!" Katherine shouted.
She seemed genuinely concerned but every part of me said not to trust her. So I flinched away from her touch and tried to get away from her. I managed to back away into the corner but everyone followed, they kept getting closer and I started to feel claustrophobic. My breathing had become shaky and I wasn't sure what was reality and fantasy. Both worlds had mixed in with each other but I couldn't tell which one was the best to return to fully.
"James...James can you hear me?" somebody asked.
I nodded to the invisible voice. All of my friends and Katherine were not there anymore, I couldn't see them and I needed them.
"Ok, James it is me Katherine do you remember me?" she asked.
I nodded, I knew a Katherine but I couldn't see her and I couldn't tell whether that was good or bad.
"It is early in the morning and I need you to wake up for me, ok? Otherwise you are going to be late for work" she told me.
I tried my hardest but I couldn't wake up, all I could see was Roses' dead body.
"You need to go to work with your best friends Kendall, Logan and Carlos...do you remember them?" she asked.
I nodded again, of course I could remember them I just couldn't see them.
"And you are a vampire and you all told your boss, Gustavo, remember" she carried on.
I nodded once again, the past events were coming back to me but I still felt as if I shouldn't trust her.
"And you are at the Palm Woods, on your way to becoming famous with your best friends. You are in a band Big Time Rush remember?" she asked desperately.
I nodded again, I did remember Big Time Rush and the Palm Woods but I couldn't wake up.
"Everyone is waiting for you to wake up. We made your favourite breakfast...bacon and eggs, you need your energy" she told me
I was a vampire...I drink blood not bacon and eggs...
"Quick lets' get him some blood, that'll help" Logan said.
"What about his diet?" Carlos asked.
"What diet?" Katherine asked him.
I still couldn't see them and I wanted to reach out for them but my arms refused to move.
"He only drinks a little amount of blood every few days...animal blood" Kendall answered.
"Go get a blood bag or something then! We need to make sure that he drinks all of it!" Katherine ordered.
I shook my head, all I could see was the colour of blood or blood itself. It was Roses' I couldn't have any, I already feel guilty.
"James drink this" Katherine told me.
I shook my head again.
She sighed "James in order to get better you need to drink this"
"I can't drink her blood, I just can't" I cried.
"Whose blood James?" Stefan asked.
"R-Rose" I choked.
"It's not her blood" Damon told me.
"No, I-I can see it, it's everywhere. Where are you?" I asked frantically.
I couldn't believe that they were doing this to me...wasn't it bad enough to live through it once and now I'm stuck.
"James this isn't blood and we are right in front of you" Katherine told me.
"No you're not! Don't lie!" I shouted.
"I am, just drink this and you'll see us again" she told me.
"Katherine what are you doing?" Logan asked her.
"Just trust me" she hissed.
I looked up but they weren't there, there was only a bag and it was getting closer. I tried to back further away but the wall was stopping me.
"James, drink what is in the bag" she told me.
Hesitantly I grabbed the bag and brought it to my lips. My vision was becoming clearer and I could see Katherine in front of me with Kendall, Logan, Carlos, Stefan and Damon behind her. I instantly felt embarrassed.
"Drink" she ordered.
I shook my head and tried to return the blood bag to her but she pushed it back my way.
She then turned to the others "Can any of you get him to drink it?"
"I can try" Kendall offered, he then sat in front of me.
"James, it's me Kendall. You need to drink this" he told me.
"No" I said.
"James is you don't you'll go bloodlust" he warned
My face fell so I forced myself to drink more.
"It's nearly finished...can you finish it for me?" Kendall asked.
I looked down and nodded before finishing the blood bag. I felt much better but mostly stupid. How did that happen? Was it because I don't drink much blood? Did someone try and control me while I was sleeping?
"James we need you to tell us what happened" Logan told me.
"I- I don't know" I admitted.
"Just tell us what you saw, what it felt like" Stefan told me.
"At first it was like I was having a dream...except it was a memory and I thought that someone had gotten into my head but I couldn't wake up" I said.
"What was the dream about?" Carlos asked.
"R-Rose, the night before our wedding...the night before she was killed" I said.
"Anything else?" Damon asked.
"My wedding day, when the screams were heard in the forest and her throat had been cut...she was d-dead" I cried.
"Aww James" Katherine cooed and tried to hug me but I flinched away.
"What else happened?" Logan asked.
"You all faded away and I could only see blood and Rose, and the note...I could only hear your voices and I couldn't wake up" I added.
"Ok, I think that you need to stock up on blood and James needs to drink more" Katherine suggested.
"And a voice in the back of my mind...told me not...to trust her" I said.
"Who James?" Kendall asked
"K-Katherine"
Kendall's POV
"Katherine?" I asked.
James nodded and Katherine looked shocked.
"I think you should leave Katherine" Damon told her.
"What? I wasn't the one who made him dream that!" she argued.
"We never implied that you did" Stefan said "But James doesn't trust you at the moment and neither do we"
"So you are basically going to throw everything away now?" she asked.
"We are more concerned about James and his well being, if he doesn't want you here right now then you shouldn't be here. We didn't tell you to leave the apartment or whatever just leave James alone for a while which means don't be in the same room as him!" Kendall explained.
"Fine" she sighed and went out the room.
James had returned to rocking himself and saying 'Don't trust her'
It made me think about who would do that to James. Why would anyone need to do that? Unless Katherine done it to prove she can be nice...but she wouldn't stoop that low would she?
Katherine's POV
Well that plan backfired, I had no clue that he wasn't drinking enough blood...that made the dream seem real and he was too weak to wake up. I'm going to have to cover my tracks more carefully and now James doesn't trust me. He doesn't know does he?
If he does then I'm going to have to be sneakier than ever. The others don't suspect anything...yet. So if I continue with my nice act they will never suspect me.
Would they?
Carlos' POV
I'm not the smartest person ever, not like Logan or Albert Einstein but even I knew that Katherine had made him dream about Rose and now her plan has failed. I'm not sure if anyone else suspects her but I do. Putting dreams into people's heads is her thing! Also we really need to get ready for work so the quicker we catch her out the quicker this whole thing can blow over.
James was still rocking himself and Kendall and Logan were still trying to calm him down.
"How do we get him out of this state?" Stefan asked.
"I don't know" I admitted.
"Does he need more blood?" Damon asked.
"I don't know if it will help but it wouldn't hurt to try" Logan replied.
He ran out to the kitchen and back in a few seconds carrying a fresh bag with him.
"I doubt that he'll drink it" I said.
"Carlos! You're supposed to be the optimistic one! The positive one!" Kendall told me.
"And I'm positive that he won't drink it" I replied
"Carlos!" Kendall and Logan shouted.
"Let me try and talk to him" I sighed while pushing my way towards James.
"James, Katherine had gone" I told him gently.
"Gone?" he said looking at me with big childlike eyes.
"Yeah, see she's not here" I said.
He looked round and a small smile tugged at his lips but it soon went.
"Please don't let her comeback" he begged.
"Why?" I asked.
"She k-killed Rose...murdered her!" he answered.
"Ok" I agreed.
He seemed to have calmed down quite a lot, his breathing returned to normal and he stopped rocking.
"Ok, James we need to get ready for work so Gustavo doesn't yell at us" I told him.
He nodded "Thank you"
I left the room and the others followed me.
"Who would have done that to him?" Logan asked.
"Are you seriously asking that?" I whispered.
"Why who do you think it was?" Kendall asked.
I pointed towards Katherine's door and was glad when they all nodded, agreeing with me.
"How can we prove it though?" Stefan asked.
"Easy...James doesn't trust her, probably because he knows that it was her and anyway who else would plant that exact dream into his head? Who has the actual memory of what Rose looked like when she died other than James?" Damon explained.
"You have a point" Stefan agreed.
"Also James mentioned something about a note, who else saw the note? No one! Also it was probably her that put it into Roses' hand to make James feel guilty and fall right into her hands!" Damon added.
"Ah, so you have figured out that it was me" Katherine sighed.
"Why would you do something like that?" I screeched.
She laughed and Damon told her "This game is over Katherine, you've lost"
"See that is where you are wrong, you need me because I add to your life story. You all need the excitement in your life" she told us.
"And that is where you are wrong! We are fine by ourselves and we don't need you!" Logan shouted.
Before she could respond Kendall added "You just hurt people and now you have hurt James the person that you supposedly love"
"I do love him...I only done that to prove that I could be nice but I didn't know that he wasn't drinking enough blood" she explained.
"See you don't know him, therefore you aren't right for each other" I told her.
I remembered a time where she could be nice but now I know that must have been an act.
"Hello Mr. Garcia" she greeted me.
"Good morning Miss. Katherine" I replied.
"What brings you here?" she asked while turning around and noticing my uniform.
She frowned and I stood beside her.
"You're returning to the army?" she asked.
"I'm sorry, but our country needs me" I answered.
"But why do you have to leave?" she whined.
"I need to protect the town...protect you" I told her.
"But who will be protecting you? Or those other men?" she asked.
"We don't worry about that..." before I could finish she interrupted me.
"And their poor families...I know how it feels to be orphaned and I'd hate to wish it upon anyone else" she frowned.
"I promise that I won't leave you, I'll always be in your heart and I promise that I will return" I promised her.
"You better return to me otherwise I shall go out and look for you myself!" she threatened.
"Katherine...please do not worry, you'll barely notice that I've gone...I'll be back before you know it" I promised.
She hugged me and pleaded "Please don't get hurt"
"I won't..."
She didn't really care...I know that now. She will never care because her humanity is lost and can never be found.
Logan's POV
I should've gone with my intuition and suspected Katherine but for some reason I thought it could be someone else...a vengeful vampire on the outside or something. I don't have feelings for Katherine and as far as I am concerned I never did but for some reason I actually thought she was going to try and be nice and not do anything stupid but then again she does stupid things all the time. It gives her the adrenaline that she needs and loves. Just like the time I begged her to leave town because of the vampire hunters but she refused. If only she left and didn't come back, then we wouldn't be in this mess.
"Katherine!" I called out while running up to her.
"What's wrong Logan?" she asked worriedly.
"You need to leave, my father has ordered a hunt for vampires" I told her.
"My dear Logan, everything will be fine" she reassured me.
"No, he has a special device that can pick out any vampire...you'll get killed!" I panicked.
"No, I won', I have a plan" she smiled.
If only I had known that the plan involved me shaming my family and becoming the enemy.
