Chapter Five – Come As You Are
22 October 2010
"Katherine, as in the Original Doppelgänger? The one that was part of breaking Klaus's curse?" Jessica nodded, and Bonnie just continued talking. "That girl in there is not her. Her name is Elena and she's a descendent to Katherine and she's the second doppelgänger."
"Wait, last time I checked, she's supposed to be dead. I mean, dead as in 'Six-feet-under' dead, not a vampire." Now Beth was confused, trying to understand what was going on.
"I guess we missed a few 'updates'. But Bonnie, this doesn't change anything. She's a vampire, you're a witch. Vampires kill people, they just can't help it, it's part of who they are. Witches help and save people, and much of that is killing vampires."
"Jessica, she and Caroline are my best friends and don't forget my mom. If I were to kill all the vampires here, would have to kill people that mean a lot to me. And you're forgetting that a witch is support to take care of her family, and Elena, Caroline and mom are my family."
"I'm going to stop you right there. If you truly were their friend, you would do the right thing and kill them. I going to tell you a secret, a few years back, an uncle and two cousins of ours were turned vampires, and it was up to us to take care of the problem. It was hard and hurt like… I don't even want to think about it."
"You've got to be kidding me. No matter what you say, I'm Not Killing My Friends, End of Story."
"Well, more for us then. What if you, Jess, turn on the fire alarm and then–"
"Stop, just stop! You're not killing anyone of my friends, I won't allow it. Promise or we're going to have a BIG problem." Bonnie was serious, willing to do anything for her friends.
Jessica was starting to get seriously angry at Bonnie. She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm down and not strangling Bonnie. With a sigh she took her bow and put it back in the car. Beth just looked at her sister, with a confused look.
"I guess we'll try it your way, Bonnie, at least for now. I promise not to kill those 'vampire-friends' of yours. Beth, put back the shotgun in the car, I guess we're having dinner after all.
"Back already? We started to wonder where you went, and most of all, where you took our 'favorite' witch." Damon said with a smirk, holding Jessica's glass with coke, and both Beth and Bonnie's glasses were in front of him, empty.
"We needed a little chat. Don't expect me to pay for those. At least the food hasn't come yet, or you probably would've eaten that too. Why don't you, you, and you," pointing at Damon, Stefan and Caroline, "go somewhere else and leave us alone." Jessica was calm on the outside, but was boiling on the inside. It was hard trying not to kill Damon, but she kept repeating in her head about her promise to Bonnie. Damon just kept smirking at Jessica, and nodded to Stefan toward the bar.
"If you don't mind, I'd like to stay. I love to get to know both of you." Caroline said, giving the witches a friendly smile, as Damon and Stefan left the table. Jessica looked at Beth, who just shrugged.
"Fine, you can stay. Now, where is that 'drooling-object' of yours, Beth? I could use that drink about now." Beth just stuck out her tongue and went to the bar to get another round of their drinking order. A few minutes later she came back, flirting with Matt, carrying a tray with the drinks and a plate with her food, as Matt carried Bonnie's and Jessica's plates, handing everything out. Before Beth sat down, she grabbed a napkin, wrote down her cellphone number, gave it to Matt, and mimicked 'Call Me'. Jessica couldn't stop laughing, while Caroline looked puzzled at Beth.
"Are you never going to give it up, sis? Leave the poor guy alone. I don't think he's interested."
"Says you, who never notices when a guy's flirting with you. I bet that, even if someone were to hold up a sign, saying 'Go Out With Me', you still wouldn't get it."
"Why don't you just shut your mouth and eat your food… Quietly!" Jessica was starting to get irritated at her sister's attitude.
"Fine, if you give me the ketchup."
"Get it yourself." Jessica said as she started to eat her chicken with her fingers. Beth just showed with her hands, that she was sitting in a corner. Jessica just looked at her, with a "Don't-You-Try-That-On-Me" face. Beth's smile just turned into a smirk, as she focused her eyes on the ketchup bottle on the other side of the room, concentrating on it harder and harder, until it just turned up in her hand. She then gave Bonnie a goofy smile, and started putting ketchup on her burger.
"How did you… You're a witch, aren't you?" Caroline was shocked, as she wasn't that used to magic, only the chanting kind Bonnie used.
"Actually, we both are, and for the record, we're also vampire hunters, so you all better be very nice to us. Yes, I know that Damon, Stefan, Elena, and you of course, are vampires. But lucky for you, I've promised Bonnie here that I wouldn't harm any of you."
"Damon says that he doesn't believe you. Not that I care, just wanted you to know, sis." Now, everyone's eyes, except Jessica's, were turned towards Beth.
"How did you hear that, Damon is sitting several feet from you? I thought you were a witch. Was it a spell?" Bonnie was really confused now.
"No, don't tell her, sis. We all have our secrets and we're not going to give away ours just yet. You know what, I changed my mind. Why don't you all join us, and by that I mean all of you, and if you're nice, I might even tell you a thing or two."
Seconds later, all the vampires were back at the table, although the brothers kept some distance.
"Oh, come on, not even we, who have killed several vampires, should be as stupid as going at two 150-year-old vampires at the same time, and if I were to attack the dear doppelgänger, both of you would defend her." Jessica was keeping her eyes directed toward Elena, but talked towards the brother, who started to get anxious.
"You seem surprised that we know about all of you. I mean, we knew all along about the Salvatores, but truthfully, we thought that you," pointing at Elena, "were someone else, namely Katherine Pierce, or her real name, Katerina Petrova. I've promised to kill her, but Bonnie cleared up that you're not her."
"What do you have against Katherine, except that she's a bitch and double-crosses everyone… Okay, I can see why you hate her." Damon said, with his usual smirk.
"You don't have a slightest clue why I want her head on a stick, and I'm not going to tell you."
Damon was now furious and about to attack Jessica, but before he could Jessica simply opened a small box and blew a fine powder in his face, and he started choking.
"Yes, its vervain mixed with thyme, very effective to neutralize vampires. I have several more tricks, but if you play nice I'll be nice."
"We should go before things get too heated, don't you think?" Bonnie said towards the sisters. "We have a few extra beds that you two can use, if you want to."
"Sure, beats sleeping in the car, thank you, Bonnie. Beth, why don't you go and pay for you, me, and Bonnie. The vampires can pay for themselves." Damon gave Jessica an annoyed look. "Don't even start Damon, or I'll make you pay our bill too. And sis… NO FLIRTING!"
So, What do you think? Have any Questions? Any objections? Anything that was extra good? Got any ideas? Write me a review and let me know.
