Amber was lying on the bed, her hands and feet tied. Jeremy was sitting on his office chair, watching her from a safe distance.
“Let me go” Amber said. “Please, let me go”
Jeremy didn’t move. He wished Kelsey would get back soon. It had taken him all his strength to tie Amber up.
“Let. Me. Go!” Amber screamed. She moved her body up and down and pulled her hands to make them loose.
“Sssh! Shut up!” Jeremy said when he heard footsteps on the stairs.
“Jeremy?” Alaric said. “Is everything okay?”
“Eh, yeah, I’m watching a movie on my computer” Jeremy replied, with his hand on Ambers mouth. “Sorry, I’ll put my earphones in”
“Okay” Alaric said.
“Aaahh” Jeremy exclaimed.
“Jeremy?” Alaric said startled. The latch went down.
“It’s nothing” Jeremy hastily said. “I bumped my knee to my desk”
The latch went up again. “Okay” Alaric said. “We’ll have dinner soon”
“Yeah, thanks” Jeremy said and he sighed relieved as he heard Alaric going back downstairs. He looked at his bleeding hand. “You bit me” he said upset.
“She did what?”
Jeremy turned around and saw Kelsey at his window. He showed his hand.
“Damn it, Amber. You should be thankful Jeremy took care of you” Kelsey said. Amber raised her eyebrows. “It’s been a while since I last picked up a dictionary, but I’m pretty sure that tying someone up is not the definition of ‘taking care of someone’”
“Do you have the cure?” Jeremy asked, but Kelsey didn’t have to answer. Her face said it all. “I’m sorry, Am” she said hoarse.
“Ah, well… told you so” Amber said. Kelsey looked at Jeremy. “I know this is weird and in a way rude, but could you leave us alone for a moment?”
“Yeah, sure, I have to have dinner anyway” Jeremy said soft. He got off the bed and walked outside of his room.
Kelsey walked to the bed and untied her sister.
“Thanks” Amber said grumpy, rubbing her wrists.
“How bad is it?” Kelsey referred to the bite. Amber rolled up her sleeve and showed her infected arm. “Okay, you can put it away now” Kelsey said, feeling a little sick.
“Kelsey” Amber said soft. “You promised me you would tell me what happened between you and our parents when I was ready for it. I don’t think I could be more ready”
Kelsey nodded. She was right. There was no better time. “Alright, but let’s get you outside. Fresh air will do you good”
She pulled Ambers arm over her shoulder and dragged her to the window. She stepped on the window-ledge and jumped.

They heard the door close and wondered who came barging in, until a familiar, female and British voice solved the mystery.
“Anyone home?” Rebekah called from downstairs.
“Ugh” Damon sighed. “I’ll go” He stood up and walked to the door, but when he wanted to open it, the door was slammed in his face and Rebekah barged in. She held a guy in her right hand and a blood bag in her left hand.
“What are you doing here?” Elena asked tired.
“I came to apologize” Rebekah explained flighty, while she tossed the bag to Damon. “I was wrong to bite you. It’s just that I busted Stefan smooching with that vamp strumpet and you look like her, so I got carried away. I don’t understand what it is that draws Stefan to women with your appearances. You’re not even that pretty”
“I appreciate your honesty” Elena commented sarcastically.
“Hey, I’m as open as your legs were last night” Rebekah replied blunt and Elena’s cheeks turned red.

Being a fan of the show, I was really excited when I found out that it was based on a book series!
Previously I had no idea.
After reading them I am convinced that they are even better than the TV show--so much more info on all of the characters.
I am also a big vampire buff and have read a lot of vampire fic--twilight does not compare.
There are currently 10 novels in the series (I have only read the first 4. But I really recommend fans to check them out!
1.1 The Awakening
1.2 The Struggle
1.3 The Fury
1.4 Dark Reunion
1.5 The Return: Nightfall
1.6 The Return: Shadow Souls
1.7 The Return: Midnight
1.8 The Hunters: Phantom
1.9 The Hunters: Moonsong
1.10 The Hunters: Destiny Rising
