"Jeremy can we go for a walk?" I walk up to Jeremy standing alone in the kitchen it is Saturday so we don't have to worry about school.
"Sure" he said. We start walking in the woods there was silence between us for a few minutes before I speak.
"I never wanted to hurt you, I am so sorry that I did what I did. You don't understand though at the wake and the funereal I could hear what everyone was thinking 'oh look at the poor Gilbert kids'. I couldn't stand their pity and thoughts they were having about us being poor orphan children. Even though I wasn't here I could still feel you Jer your anger, sadness, everything I wanted to call you so much sooner but I thought you were still too mad at me." I said looking away. Out of the corner of my eye I saw him pull a piece of notebook paper from his pocket.
"Dear Jeremy, I know you may never forgive me for this, but I hope one day you will. I love you don't ever doubt that, but I need to be on my own for a while I promise one day I will come back. Please tell Elena how sorry I am for all the trouble I have caused you both. I will see you again when have worked out what I need to I will always be a part of you Jer. Just remember I love you okay tell Elena I love her too. Love. Jocelyn" he reads the note I left him"That is all you left me with Joey you left. You were always suppose to be there for me and you left right after mom and dad died. I'm so happy to know that you are okay and that your back but I don't know if I will be able to forgive you for leaving. I am willing to try and fix things with us, you are my best friend my twin sister I don't want to lose you again." he said bringing me into a tight hug.
"I will do whatever it takes Jeremy. So tell me what you have been up to the past couple of months" I said as we sit on a fallen tree.
"Well I was seeing Vicki before she left town, have had it out with Tyler over her, fell behind in school but I am pulling my grades up and getting back on track" he tells me
"Good you know I can help with school...So any special girl at all?" I ask shoving him a little
"There is this girl Anna she is a little weird but there is something about her I can see myself falling for her." he has a tiny smile playing on his lips
"I have to meet her and give her my approval before anything happens" I said laughing at him.
"I am meeting her at the Grill later if you want to join" he said
"I would love to crash your date and embarrass you in front of her" he shoves me off the tree while laughing at me. Getting back to the house I change into jeans and a long sleeve navy blue shirt with black ankle boots. Jeremy and I walked into the Grill I looked around seeing a couple of people I recognized. " I'm going to get a drink" I said to him walking to the bar ordering a whiskey sour.
"Aren't you a little young?" the bartender says I look in his eyes giving him a sweet smile batting my lashes at him. "Ok this once" he said.
"That was just cruel" I hear snarky voice say next to me
"Hello to you too Damon" I said turning to him, he has that cocky smirk on his face. "So how is the getting Katherine back plan going?" I ask
"I have to get into the tomb I have the grimore I need witches" he tells me. I look at the pool tables and see Jeremy with a small dark haired girl.
"Good luck with your plan I'm going to embarrass my brother see you later Damon" I tell him walking away with my drink. Walking up to the table I immediately know this girl is a vampire God neither of siblings like humans? I have weird family but I know Jeremy doesn't know about vampire yet.
"Oh Anna this is my sister Jocelyn, Joey this is Anna" Jeremy introduces us. she reached out her hand and I smile while shaking it.
"It's nice to meet you Jeremy told me about you" she says politely
"All good things I hope" I joke. We played pool for while when Jeremy went to the bathroom I turned to Anna with a serious look on my face."Okay vampire what are doing with my brother?" I ask her she looks stunned by my words.
"I don't know what you're talking about" She said trying to play dumb
"Don't act dumb I know you are a vampire I will ask you again before I have to force it out of you. What are you doing with my brother?" I ask
"He had something I needed now I think I might actually have feelings for him. He is a funny, sweet guy he makes me feel normal don't tell him please." she says to me
"I have no intention of telling him about vampire's yet. If you hurt him I will make you regret it this is your only warning" I told her. When Jeremy comes back I decide to leave them alone I see Tyler sitting at a table by himself. I go over and sit across from him signaling the bartender for another drink.
"So what are you doing here all by yourself?" I ask him. He looks at me with those beautiful brown eyes and smile that lights up his face.
"Maybe I was waiting for you to come over and join me for dinner?" he says
"If that is the case I am so sorry to keep you waiting Mr. Lockwood" I joke with a laugh
"Your funny Gilbert. No I was suppose to hang with Matt but he is with Caroline" he tells me
"Yeah that's weird I never would have thought so much blond could fit in a relationship" he laugh at my joke which make me smile
" So what were you up too while you were gone?" he asks
"I traveled around I saw your Uncle Mason when I was in Florida he gave me a place to stay for a while." I told him
"Sounds like you were busy" he said
"I guess so It was lonely though I missed this place. I never stayed anywhere to long" I told him finishing off my drink. "Well it was nice talking with you but I have to get home I'm on a short leash now" I told him getting up from the table.
"Oh yeah we should do this again sometime if you want" he said quickly I smiled at him.
"I would like that I will see you at school Tyler" I left the Grill and went home going to sleep as soon as my head hit my pillow.
I woke up in a beautiful garden next to a lake everything seemed so peaceful, there was a glow to this place. I was walking around relishing in the bliss this place was it felt like I belonged here. I hear someone walk up behind me I turn to see a beautiful woman with long wavy blonde hair and vibrant green eyes. She has soft pale skin and she has a kind face. Something about her makes me feel like I am safe with that I can trust her.
"Hello Jocelyn I'm sure you have many questions" she speaks in an angelic voice
"How do you know me?" I ask first she leads me to bench so I sit next to her.
"I have been watching over you since before you were born. you are destined for great things. My name is Asmerelda, I have summoned you here to give you a warning. Your friends must not open that tomb it will unleash evil you will not be safe." she tells me
"What are you talking about I won't be safe?" I ask
"The vampires that will be released they will come after you for your blood it is much more desirable than human blood." She said
"What am I? Do you know?" I ask her
"I cannot give you that answer yet it is not safe for you to know" She is speaking so calmly it makes me frustrated.
"What can you tell me that is not cryptic?" I ask
"If your friends open that tomb you will need to access your light and fight" What is she talking about
"What light?"
"You will know when it is the time to use it. It is how you will protect yourself from the vampires. It is time for me to go heed my warning do not open that tomb." She says before disappearing.
I open my eye's to see I am still room the events of dream still playing in my mind who was this Asmerelda? She knows what I am but won't tell me. She leaves me with a warning and some secret about me? When did life start getting so cryptic?
