Morning came and Jeremy lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling. He hadn’t slept at all. Not that he hadn’t tried, but every time he just closed his eyes something happened. His bed would start shaking, the windows collapsed and let’s not forget the strange noises he had heard. He knew what it was, but that didn’t make it any less scary. At some point Anna and Vicky had to understand he had to sleep. He couldn’t stay awake forever. Though the girls did a very good attempt to postpone bedtime as long as possible. He got out of bed and went downstairs, finding Alaric all dressed up, but Elena was absent. “Good morning, Jeremy” Alaric said. “Hi” Jeremy said and he sank down on a chair. “Where’s Elena?” he asked as he shoved the bread to him. “She’s at Stefan’s house” Alaric said. Jeremy raised his eyebrows. “Stefan’s house, huh? So, she’s with Damon. Did she spend the night there?” “Well, yeah, but Katherine’s there, too. And there are plenty of rooms there. And don’t forget Elena is still Stefan’s girlfriend and Damon knows that” Alaric said feeling uneasy. Though Jeremy still wasn’t convinced he shut up about it. “I’m going to see Bonnie. I have to talk to her” Alaric looked up. “Something important?” he asked trying to sound casual. “Maybe” Jeremy said avoiding. He didn’t want too many people to get involved into this. He couldn’t lose anyone else. And Alaric was in no position to help. “Bonnie is the only one that can help me” he decided.
Katherine was sitting on a chair. A row of small stakes pinched each arm to the arm-rests and a special kind of muzzle kept her mouth shut. The muzzle also had stakes, smaller than the arm stakes, and they pierced through Katherine’s jaws. “I’m sorry for the inconvenience” Veronica said demeaning. “Actually, I’m not. You had this coming. You broke in here, you threatened me” She took a chair and put it down in front of Katherine. “Such a pity Derek chose the wrong side. If he hadn’t Damon Salvatore would be sitting next to you”
Katherine managed to produce a smirk.
“Oh, don’t be so smug” Veronica sniffed. “I’ll get to him. He’s the one that killed Kelsey. He will die a slow and painful death” she said, more to herself than to Katherine. She stood up and walked to a corner, where she picked up her cross-bow. “In the meantime” she said, while she aimed the crossbow at Katherine. “I have you to have fun with” and she fired.
