*Chapter Thirty Two* {Masquerade}
The moment Alvina, Jeremy and Enzo enter the hospital, Jeremy zooms in front of them towards Jenna's room. Elena had called her brother in tears. Katherine had compelled Jenna to stab herself in retaliation for Damon killing Mason.
Alvina never necessarily hated Katherine but she surely disliked her. Alvina always felt annoyed with how strung up Damon used to be over her and also didn't like what Katherine did when her best friend was human. However, that dislike never turned to hatred until now. Now, Katherine hurt Jeremy through Jenna and that royally pissed the Fairy off.
"Is she ok?" Jeremy asks Elena once the siblings find each other. Alvina and Enzo stay in the background for the moment.
"The doctors told Alaric that she got lucky. She's gonna make it. She's gonna be ok." Elena assures him. Jeremy's body relaxes causing his two mates to smile.
"Does she remember what happened?" Jeremy asks.
"No, nothing" Elena shakes her head. "It's all a part of Katherine's mind compulsion"
"Why would Katherine hurt Jenna?" Jeremy asks both confused and angry.
"Because she's trying to send a message. That she could get to anybody," Elena says trying to keep it together but slowly breaks down. Jeremy comforts his sister while Enzo and Alvina glance towards each other.
Elena's final words, 'That she could get to anybody', didn't sit well with either of them. They both silently agreed with each other that Katherine wasn't getting anywhere near Jeremy, not without at least one of them by his side.
"Hey, you doing alright?" Alvina asks softly walking up to Jeremy with Enzo once Elena was left. Jeremy nods wordlessly. Alvina doesn't hesitate to hug him tightly. Jeremy screws his eyes closed and buries his head into her neck. "It'll be alright," Alvina whispers. "Katherine thinks she's clever but she's never met us, we'll get her back for this"
"I just don't understand, why did it have to be Jenna?" Jeremy mumbles into her neck.
"Because she's vulnerable," Enzo said. "You and Elena are too well protected, nobody ever thought that Jenna would be in danger therefore no one watched over her." Jeremy pulls away from Alvina and glances towards Enzo. "You have my word, love, we won't make the same mistake again"
Jeremy gives him a small smile before wrapping his arms around him. Enzo, slightly shocked, quickly wraps his arms around him. Alvina grins from ear-to-ear as they hold each other tightly.
"Thank you," Jeremy whispers. Enzo smiles leaning his head against Jeremy's with the most content smile Alvina has seen him wear.
"You're welcome, darling," Enzo whispers back. Enzo turns his head slightly and kisses the side of Jeremy's temple. The action felt so natural that if Enzo hadn't done it it would have felt wrong.
"Do you wanna stay here for a little bit longer or go home?" Alvina asks once Jeremy pulled away from Enzo.
"Let's go home, she's probably already asleep," Jeremy decides. Alvina nods letting Jeremy grab her hand. The three of them walk out of the hospital. Not wanting to go to his home, Jeremy let's Alvina take him and Enzo back to the boarding house.
Fortunately, a week later Jenna is able to return home. Not wanting to over crowd everyone, Jeremy asked Alvina and Enzo to wait at the house. Whilst they agreed to wait and stay away, the two of them hovered from a distance. Neither of them knew what Katherine's next move was gonna be and therefore weren't going to let Jeremy out of their sight, not that Jeremy knew his two mates were following him.
"Grab the door, Jer" Matt says helping Jenna up to the house with Elena.
"Hey, stop fussing, I'm fine," Jenna says as Jeremy goes to open the door but Enzo opens it from the inside first. Enzo smirks and gives him a wink.
"After you, my lady" Enzo smirks at Jenna opening the door widely. He winks at her as she walks past him causing her to blush lightly.
"Dude," Jeremy mutters nudging Enzo's side. The Brit raises an eyebrow at him. "That's my aunt don't flirt with her," Jeremy scolds. Enzo smirks widely.
"You don't have to be jealous, love" Enzo says closing the door. "I'm all yours, if you'll me" Enzo winks pressing a quick kiss to his forehead before going into the living room where Jenna is.
"Hey, baby," Alvina says coming down from upstairs. "Everyone get home alright?" Jeremy smiles up at her and nods. "Good," She kisses his cheek lightly. "I'm hungry, come on" Alvina pulls him into the kitchen where Elena is. The fairy goes into the fridge while Jeremy approaches his sister.
"So, what are we gonna do?" Jeremy asks her.
"Make lunch" Elena says obviously.
"No, about Katherine" Jeremy corrects her. Alvina pulls out some left over pizza and glances between the two of them whilst eating her food cold.
"We're not gonna do anything, Jeremy" Elena denies.
"She tried to kill Jenna" Jeremy deadpans. "We can't let her get away with that," Jeremy shakes his head.
"Yes, we can" Elena nods. Alvina rolls her eyes but continues to stay quiet. "If it keeps us safe then we can"
"And what if she tries something else?"
"She won't" Elena shakes her head causing Alvina to scoff. "Katherine hurt Jenna because I didn't do what she said. I'm not going it now, me and Stefan are over. She wins, the end"
"You're being naïve and you know it," Jeremy snipped giving Alvina a look. He leaves the kitchen and she follows after him.
"Where are you going?" Elena hollers after him.
"Out. I'll be back" He replies over his shoulder.
"Are we leaving?" Enzo asks joining them. Alvina nods, her mouth full of cold pizza. Enzo smiles endearingly before following after the two of them. "Where to?"
"Boarding house," Jeremy decides. The three of them make their way to the Salvatore place. When they arrive, Jeremy walks ahead of them and into the home.
"What's going on?" Alvina hears Bonnie ask.
"We're gonna kill Katherine" Jeremy tells her whilst entering the room.
"Nothing like a good murder to spice up a relationship," Alvina comments with a wicked grin. She then walks over to Alaric who has all the weapons.
"This works with compressed air," Alaric informs them. "The trigger mechanism is up here. I have two of these in a different size," Alvina falls back to Enzo. Alaric continues to teach them how to kill a vampire, although Alvina felt fairly confident with her skills.
"I must say, you people in Mystic Falls do know how to throw an interesting party," Alvina grins thinking about the killing and drama that's accompanied every party Alvina has attended. Jeremy sends her an amused smile.
"Are you sure you guys don't want me there tonight?" Alaric asks.
"No," Stefan shakes his head. "I need you to stay with Elena. I don't want her to know about this"
"Ok," Alaric nods. "Well, I'll make sure she doesn't leave my sight"
"Alright, if anybody wants to back out, I'll understand" Stefan says politely.
"Yeah, cold feet speak now. I don't want this going wrong if someone chickens out." Damon snarks. "Caroline" He calls out causing Alvina to snort.
"I won't," Caroline insists. "Look, she killed me. Fair's fair. As long as there's no werewolf running around"
"Oh, I took care of Mason," Damon smirks cockily.
"As long as Tyler doesn't kill anyone, he won't turn" Jeremy says confidently.
"It's harder than you expect to not kill someone on a daily basis" Enzo comments casually. Alvina smiles wrapping her arm around his midsection.
"Bonnie? Are you with us?" Stefan asks the witch while completely ignoring Enzo.
"But no one gets hurt" Bonnie says. Alvina sighs slightly annoyed with her hesitance.
"Except Katherine. Tonight, Katherine gets a stake through her heart" Damon tells her.
"If you want her death to hurt more, just let me know," Alvina smirks offering her services. Damon sends her a small grin. "Now, if you boys will excuse me, I have a ball to get ready for" Alvina says before leaving the room.
Once in the room, Alvina closes and locks the door. She didn't want anybody barging in. The dress she picked is stashed away in the back of the closet. Pulling it out, Alvina grins staring at it.
"Love, I know you want to look perfect but I'm not understanding why it's taking so long," Enzo says from the other side of the wall as Alvina touches up on her makeup. "You're gorgeous as it is and the dance has already started,"
"If you want to compliment a lady, don't mix it with the message of 'hurry the fuck up'," Alvina advises him. "A lady is never late, everyone is merely early,"
"Well, do you mind if we start the party a little sooner?" Enzo asks causing Alvina to smirk. "Which lady would start the party?" He wonders. "There's multiple ones there, I'm sure Katherine is already wreaking havoc as we speak"
Standing up, Alvina walks over towards the door. She opens it and sees Enzo in an extremely sexy tux leaning against the doorway. The moment she opens the door, his eyes take in her figure.
"Firstly, Katherine is no lady," Alvina tells him while putting her hand on her hip. "More like an indecisive whore," She shrugs as Enzo stands more in the center of the doorway. "Secondly-" Before she could continue Enzo wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her into his chest suddenly. She quickly presses her hands on his chest to help steady her. "I take it you like the dress," She whispers looking into his eyes.
Enzo growls tightening his grip. Alvina grins wrapping her arms around his neck. Her fingers curl into his hair. He leans down and presses their heads together.
"I know the main reason everyone is going to this party is because they want to kill Katherine but save me a dance," Alvina whispers.
"We can dance for as long as you want," Enzo promises as he begins to sway the two of them. "You look gorgeous, my love" He whispers.
"Thank you," She whispers smiling brightly at him. "Where's Jeremy?" She wonders.
"He's downstairs," He tells her. "He's quite anxious to leave,"
"Going after Jenna really upset him," Alvina notes. Enzo nods in agreement. "We're going to have to protect her, Enzo. If anything else happens to Jenna, he'll be even more devastated"
"We'll protect her," Enzo promises her. "Don't worry, neither of us are going to let her get hurt again"
"In this town, it's easier said then done," Alvina mutters. Enzo smiles kissing her temple. Alvina relaxes against him. She wraps her arm around his. He leans back and leads her down to the main floor where Jeremy is anxiously waiting for them. However, when his eyes finally land on his two mates, he stops pacing and simply stares.
"Wow," Jeremy breathes. He had seen Enzo in his tux already but he didn't seen Alvina's dress and he also hasn't seen the two of them together. He felt drawn to the both of them more than he had before because of how handsome and beautiful they both looked.
Once the two step on the main floor, Enzo twirls Alvina a few times before letting her go. She spins straight into Jeremy's arms. The teenage boy holds her close with a breathtaking smile on his face. Slowly, Alvina lifts her hands and readjusts his tie.
"You look amazing," Jeremy whispers.
"Thank you," She whispers. "I love what you're doing with the hair," She grins looking at how it's styled and gelled. Jeremy smirks a little feeling a boost of confidence.
"Are we ready?" Enzo asks coming up to the side. Alvina grins getting the hint that he felt a little left out. Leaving Jeremy's arms, Alvina leans into Enzo.
"Ready when you are, love" Alvina whispers in his ear. He growls lowly and wraps a tight arm around her waist.
"Behave," He growls lowly. Alvina smirks nipping at his ear.
"Where's the fun in that?" She asks pressing her hand on his chest. Jeremy clears his throat hoping to break them up before they all gave into the obvious sexual tension. "I guess that's our que," She whispers pulling away from Enzo. "Let's go boys," She winks at both of them whilst grabbing her mask from the side table. Once her mask is secured on her face she struts out the door making sure to sway her hips as they watch her walk away.
