Author's Note!
Okay, so thanks again to lostfeather1 for the review. This next chapter is going to be slightly Jermy-centric because I have some things Kayden needs to do. Hope you enjoy!
Kayden's P.O.V.
'Mikania I have a question.'
'Yes?'
'Can I use my powers on other humans?'
'Why?'
'I have a friend who I need to help with something.'
'You can give them shields and clothing I believe.'
'Good, good. Thank you Mikania.'
'You are welcome. Be careful Kayden.
'Of course.'
I get up and walk over to the window in my living room. It's currently 3 a.m. and Stefan just left Elena's house 20 minutes ago.
'Okay, time to go talk to Jeremy.'
I walk over to the door and slide out, changing my clothes into plaid pajama bottoms, a white tank top, and grey slippers. Jogging over to the Gilbert's I look around the windows to try and find Jeremy's.
'There it is. The lights are still on.'
I jump up to the window sill and knock lightly on the window.
"Jer." I say quietly. "Open the window. It's Kayden."
The curtains slide back and the window opens. Standing in front of me is Jeremy, clothed in a pair of sweatpants and a black t-shirt.
"Why're you at my window at 3:15 in the morning?" he asks, rubbing his eyes.
"I need to talk to you. It's...really important." I say, hopping into his room.
"What is it?" he asks, sitting on his desk chair.
I take a deep breath, "I have to tell you a secret that you must swear to never tell another person. Ever."
"I swear."
"No, you have to swear on your T.V." I say.
"Why?" he asks.
"If you tell someone, I'd rather break your T.V." I respond seriously.
"I swear on my T.V."
"Okay." I take another deep breath. "Okay." I let it out.
"What is it, Kayden?" he asks, rolling the chair closer to the bed where I've sat down.
"I-I guess it'll be easier to show you. You can't freak out though Jeremy."
"Okay."
I smile lightly and look down. My bangs fall in front of my face, but Jeremy pushes them away.
"It's okay. I won't freak out."
"I know, I'm just scared you'll hate me."
"I won't. Promise." he sticks out his pinky.
I link mine with his. "Good. Okay here we go."
I swallow hard and change my face slowly into it's vampire form.
"I'm a vampire." I say quietly.
"Oh." he says back.
I look up at him to see him looking at my face with wide eyes. He reaches out and runs his fingers over the veins under my eyes.
"What?" I ask.
"You- you're a vampire." he says back, astonished.
"Yeah, but-but I swear on everything I own that I did not attack Vicky." I say widening my eyes.
"I know, I trust you wouldn't do that." he says grinning. "But, why'd you tell me?"
"I just- look Jer I know some things about people in this town and I don't want you to have to deal with Big Sister Elena all by yourself." I explain. "I can't stand to see her command you to give up the things that make it easier for you to deal with the pain."
"So, you're saying it's okay for me to do drugs?"
"No, but I don't think Elena has any right to try and force you to stop. You just need something else to keep your mind off of what happened. I figured getting a surrogate sister who is a vampire might be the thing you need."
"Sister?" he whispers.
"Yeah, I mean if you're okay with that. I don't wanna weird you out or anything, I just feel like you need a sister who'll help you instead of yell at you."
He looks at me with wide eyes that begin to water without me noticing.
"You don't have to say yes. It's okay Jer, I underst-"
Jeremy cuts me off by wrapping his arms around me and shoving his face into my neck.
"Thank you. Thank you so- so much, Kayden." he says, voice cracking in the middle of his sentence.
"You're welcome, Jer." I wrap my arms around his back.
About 10 minutes later
"Oh, Jer. I forgot!" I smiled, sitting up.
"What?"
"I want to try something, if it goes the way I want, you won't be able to be compelled." I explain.
"What is it?"
"I want to try to put this shield over your eyes, only if you'll let me of course."
"Yeah, sure."
"Okay hold still and close your eyes."
I put my hands on either side of his head and close my eyes as well. I imagine Jeremy's eyes in my mind and start to put a blue shield, much like the one surrounding my body, over his eyes. It takes around 25 minutes, seeing as I've never done this to someone else.
"Okay," I open my eyes and move my hands. "You should be good now."
Jeremy opens his eyes and they flash blue before fading to his regular color.
"Woah." he gasps, looking around. "Everything is so clear."
"Oh, I might've given you a little extra boost." I smile at him.
"Does it work?" he asks, looking in my eyes.
"Let's see." I look back. "Stand on your head and squeal like a pig."
"Yeah, it works." Jeremy chuckles,
"Good, now I'm tired."
"Just stay here tonight, it's almost 4 anyway." he says, pulling me down to the bed,
Jenna's P.O.V.
"Jeremy, wake up." I say opening his door. "It's time for sch-"
My eyes widen as I look at his bed. Laying next to Jeremy is a girl with blue hair who I've never seen before.
"Go away Jenna. I wanna sleep." Jeremy groans, tightening his arms around the girl's waist.
"Jeremy." I say cautiously. "Who is that?"
"Hmm?" his eyes crack open. "It's Kayden."
"Who is Kayden?"
"New sister." he mumbles.
"Jer, shush I'm trying to sleep here." the girl yawns.
"Sorry, Jenna's bothering me." he mumbles, digging his face into her neck.
Her eyes crack open. "Hello Jenna. I'm Kayden, nice to meet you. Could you leave?"
"Uh, okay. I guess." I walk out of the room slowly.
I see Elena walk out of her room.
"Do I look adult? As in respectfully parental?" I ask.
"Depends where you're going." she says back.
"Jeremy's parent-teacher conference." I tell her, walking to the mirror. "Hair up or down?"
I pull it up. "Sexy stewardess." I let it down. "Boozy housewife."
"Up it is." I scoff. "You're feisty today."
"I feel good, which is rare. So I've decided to go with it. Fly free, walk on sunshine, and all that stuff."
She walks over to Jeremy's room.
"Where is Jeremy?"
"He was right in there, with a girl. Kayden?" I say looking through the doorway.
"Kayden? Blue hair?" She asks.
"Yeah, you know her?"
"She goes to school with us. Just started the other day."
"Well, they were sleeping in Jeremy's bed the last I saw them,"
"Where'd they go?" she asked.
"School?"
"Maybe."
Kayden's P.O.V.
"C'mon Jer. Out the window we go." I say, jumping from the window sill.
"I'm not a vampire with amazing jumping abilties, I can't jump." he says.
"Don't worry, Jer. You'll be fine, trust me."
"Okay. But if I die, I'm coming back to haunt you." he says.
"Wouldn't doubt it." I chuckle.
He swings both legs out the window and pushes off. I imagine an invisible bed catching him and lowering him to the floor.
"See, you're fine!" I grin.
"That was awesome! How'd you do that?" he asks looking around.
"I'll show you some other time, come on. If you wanna visit Vicky before school we gotta go. Mr.T's gonna have an aneurysm if I'm late."
"I'm coming." he says, jogging over to me.
"I'll go grab my bike." I wink, vamp speeding over to my bike, picking it up, and vamp speeding back.
"Ta da." I swing my leg over the seat.
"Woah." he smiles, getting on as well.
"Yeah,yeah. Hold on tight." I kick up the stand and start the bike before speeding off towards the hospital.
Jeremy stands in the doorway of Vicky's hospital room looking at her.
"She'll be fine, Jer. Vicky's tough." I whisper, resting my head on his arm.
"I know. I just...wish I could've been there, or done something." Jeremy says.
"You found her and carried her out of the woods. I'd say you saved her life, Jer."
"Thanks, Kayden."
"No problem, little brother." I chuckle, squeezing his arm.
"Now go check on her you doofus, we have to leave soon." I push him into the room. "I'll be in the hallway."
'I think this is going to be good for Jer. It'll give him someone that isn't Elena to talk to.'
Jeremy walked out of the room and towards me.
"Hey, ready to go?" I asked lightly.
"Yeah, I guess." Jeremy mumbled.
"Okay, well come on. Off we go." I say smiling at him and grabbing his hand.
Author's Note!
I have to make this chapter shorter because I need to work on my Soul Eater story. But what do you think about Kayden's relationship with Jeremy?
