𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗦𝗜𝗔 𝗦𝗔𝗧 𝗜𝗡 the chair in the corner of her room, knees brought up to her chest as she watched Jeremy sleeping in her bed, the Gilbert boy having come over in the middle of the night, not wanting to sleep at his own house, replaying the conversation she had with her father and uncle the night before.

彡☆

ANASTASIA WALKED DOWN THE stairs, towards the living room where her father and uncle sat. The green eyed girl played with the ends of the t-shirt that belonged to Jeremy, "I, uh, I need to tell the two of you something important."

Damon and Stefan looked towards each other before looking back at the girl standing in front of them.

"What's wrong?"

"I knew about Elena before we came back to Mystic Falls."

彡☆

DAMON TAKES A BOTTLE of scotch from the cabinet and pours himself a drink. He opens the curtains, letting the sun shine upon his face as he drinks some of the scotch and puts the glass down on the table.

He returns to the window, taking off his ring and dropping it to the floor. Damon opens his arms, letting his skin burn before Stefan shows up and pushes him out of the sunlight.

"Get off of me." Damon tells his brother.

"You're not doing this." Stefan said to him.

"Just did." Says Damon, "You know what happened to Rose, Stefan."

Stefan uses his strength and speed to throw Damon into the cellar. "I don't care. You're not dying today." He closes the door and locks it, looking back at his brother through the bars in the door.

"What's the plan, Superman?" Damon stays on the floor, but turns to look at him.

"I'm gonna find a way out of this."

"Oh, right. A miracle cure. Good look with that one."

"I got Bonnie looking for something, anything." Stefan said.

"Always the hero, Stefan." Damon said, "Just tell me good-bye, get it over with." He starts coughing and rolls onto his stomach, coughing blood up into his hand.

"Lie still. Conserve your strength." Stefan tells him before leaving.

彡☆

"MOVIE IN THE SQUARE PRESENTS GONE WITH THE WIND', was printed on a banner in the Town square, girls dressed up for the event, Elena, Jeremy and Anastasia walking together.

"Both of you brought me to see a girl movie." Jeremy tells his sister and girlfriend, pulling his girlfriend into the side of his body more.

"We had to get out of the house, Jer." Elena said, "This is our three-hour distraction from reality."

"Is that what we're doing? Pretending like our lives aren't screwed?" Jeremy questioned.

"We need to do this, okay? Breathe, eat, sleep, wake up, and do it all over again until one day, it's just not as hard anymore." Elena says.

They unfold a blanket and put it on the ground, Elena kneeling on it. Caroline arrives with a couple of baskets and places them in the middle of the blanket.

"Hey! There you guys are." Caroline grinned, "Who's hungry?"

"Are we really doing this?"

"Yes, we are really doing this." Caroline tells him, "We are going to take a page from Scarlett. We made it through the war. I know you guys went through hell, and my mom knows I am a vampire, so basically it's like Atlanta has burned. And yet, in spite of everything, we preserve."

Anastasia tugs on his arm as he hesitates, the Gilbert boy looking down at her to see a pout on her lips.

"Don't do that." Jeremy groaned, throwing his head back.

"Please? For me?" Anastasia begs her boyfriend, "I haven't seen this movie in years."

Jeremy studies her face for a moment longer, a groan leaving his lips at the fact that he would never be able to tell her no, "Alright." The two sit down, her in his lap, "What are we eating?"

"Something good."

彡☆

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU knew about Elena before we came back to Mystic Falls?" Stefan asked, both he and Damon staring at Anastasia in disbelief.

Anastasia stayed quiet as she tried to look anywhere but her father and uncle.

"Anastasia!" Damon exclaimed, a harsh look in his eyes.

"Thirteen years ago, I came back to Mystic Falls when the two of us split up," Anastasia motioned towards her uncle, "I just wanted to come back to see what had changed again, what was new, and I ran into Elena and Jeremy's parents. Despite what they did and who I was, they were friends of mine. I met Elena when she was four."

彡☆

STEFAN AND BONNIE ARE INSIDE the old witch house, both of them sat on the floor as Bonnie lights a candle with the match in her hand.

"I'm not sure this is going to work." Bonnie tells him.

"You've done this before, right?" He asked, "Contacted Emily Bennett. Maybe one of the witches might know how to help Damon."

"Let's just hope they want to." Bonnie tells him before doing a spell after she and Stefan stand up.

The candles in the room suddenly start burning and whispered voices filled the house.

"Bonnie? Bonnie?"

Her eyes open, "Emily. Why have you come here, Stefan?"

"I need your help." Stefan tells Emily, who is talking through Bonnie. "I need to know if there's a spell that can heal a werewolf bite."

"No. Nature ensures a balance to everything."

"Is that true....or are you just saying no because it's Damon?" Stefan asked the dead witch.

"Perhaps it is his time to die." Emily tells him.

"No. That's not balance. That's punishment."

"I will not give you what you want."

"So you're saying that there's an answer to give?" Stefan questioned, "Please, if you know something, just tell me. Help me save my brother....my niece's father."

Bonnie holds her ears, screaming in pain before she falls to the floor.

"Bonnie."

"They don't want us here." Bonnie says, "They think I'm abusing their power."

"They know something. There's an answer." Stefan tells her, "They just don't want to tell me."

"I heard them say a name."

"What was it?"

Bonnie stares up at Stefan in shock, "Anastasia."

彡☆

"HEY." STEFAN WALKS UP TO WHERE his girlfriend and niece sat with Jeremy and Caroline.

"Hey! Look who couldn't resist an epic romance." Elena tells him as Stefan crouches down.

"Will both of you come take a walk with me?" Stefan looks between Elena and Anastasia.

Both girls look at each other, before getting up and following him.

"We're breaking the rules, you know." Elena says, "Movie night's supposed to be a distraction."

"Tomorrow we can return to our regularly scheduled drama." Anastasia mumbled, crossing her arms over her chest.

"I know. I wish this could wait, but it can't. Listen, um, the other night with you and your dad were helping Tyler, something happened." Stefan tells them, causing Anastasia to tense up.

She knew that it had been too good to be true that night, she knew that her father had possibly been bitten, but she was so distracted with making sure that Tyler was okay, that he wouldn't turn, that she had forgotten all about Damon being bitten.

"Tyler was starting to transform, and Damon was bitten." Stefan finished.

"What?" Elena looks at Stefan in concern, "Is it - is he gonna....,"

"Yeah."

Anastasia let a tear roll down her cheek.

"Oh, my God." Elena gasped, "And he came to the house this morning and....and tried to apologize. I practically slammed the door in his face."

"He told me not to tell you, either of you, but I figured if you wanted to talk t him, I...I wouldn't wait." Stefan says, mostly to Elena because he knew the father and daughter were treading around each other lightly especially after the conversation from the night before.

"Stefan."

"That's why I came to find you." Stefan looks down at his niece, "Bonnie and I contacted Emily to see if we could find a cure, but she wouldn't give it to us. But she did hear a name.....,"

"Who's name?" Elena asked, a slight demand to her voice as she looks at her boyfriend, "Stefan!"

"Emily told us your name, Anastasia." Stefan says, "Do you know about a cure for a werewolf bite?"

The green eyed girl closed her eyes for a brief moment before opening them, a sigh leaving her lips. "Klaus."

彡☆

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU talking about?" Damon demanded, a glare on his face as he looked up at his daughter.

"Every few years, I would come back and visit Miranda and Grayson. Elena was fifteen when I noticed she was the doppelganger. And I thought a few times about taking her to Klaus myself." Anastasia looks down at her feet as she now sat on the couch opposite her uncle and dad.

"Why would you want to do that? What the hell goes threw your mind about letting an original vampire sacrifice a teenage girl who knew nothing about the supernatural or about what she is?" Stefan asked his niece.

"Because I wanted Kol back." She shrugged, "I had went to where Klaus was staying to tell him about Elena, but I overheard him telling someone that Elijah would never find the rest of their family because they were at the bottom of the ocean. So I didn't tell him."

彡☆

"HELLO, KATHERINE." STEFAN STEPS into Alaric's apartment where Katherine is sitting on the bed.

"Two days, I've been waiting." Katherine stands up. "I'm supposed to be free of Klaus' compulsion by now. He's suppose to be dead."

"We ran into complications."

"Complications?" She asked.

"Doesn't matter. I just need to find him. Do you have an idea where he might be?" Stefan asked.

Instead of answering him, Katherine pins Stefan against the wall and motions for him to be quiet just as Klaus and Elijah walked through the door, "Klaus, you're back. Look who decided to come for a visit."

Klaus looks at Stefan, "You just keep popping up, don't you?"

"I need your help.....for my brother." Stefan tells him.

"Well, whatever it is, it's gonna have to wait a tick. You see, I have an obligation to my brother that requires my immediate attention." Klaus tells him.

Elijah looks over at Stefan, "You understand how important family is, or you wouldn't be here. My brother gave me his word that he would reunite me with my own."

"And so I shall." Klaus says before stabbing a dagger through Elijah's hear, killing him. Then, he pushes Stefan against the wall, "Now, what am I gonna do with you?"

He puts a stake through Stefan and holds him up as Stefan buckles in pain.

"Do you feel that?" Klaus asked, "It's scraping against your heart. The slightest little movement and you're dead."

"He's just trying to help his brother." Katherine tells the original hybrid.

"Anastasia said you had a cure. Make me a deal." Stefan said. "Just give me the cure, and I'll do whatever you want."

Klaus takes out the stake, letting Stefan fall on the floor. He walks over to the counter, putting the dagger on it and pouring himself a glass of blood, "Trouble is I don't know if you'd be any good to me the way you are now. You are just shy of useless. And where is Anastasia tonight, by the way?"

彡☆

ANASTASIA LEANED BACK ON JEREMY'S chest as Bonnie had now joined the three, Elena having gone off to talk to Damon. He hand subconsciously played with her boyfriends hand as worry and guilt filled her body.

"Hey, you okay?" Jeremy asked her in a whisper, moving to wrap his arms around her shoulders.

"I'm just worried about my dad." She whispered back, "I just hope Elena can give him a little hope until Uncle Stefan can find the cure."

"Do you know what the cure is?" Jeremy asked, glancing over at Bonnie and Caroline to make sure neither of them were listening to their conversation.

Anastasia sighed before looking up at him, "The cure is Klaus' blood. I know because twenty years ago, I got bite."

Jeremy opened his mouth to say something, but was cut off by the sound of his phone ringing. "Alaric, hey."

"Tell me you're with Elena." Alaric tells him, Anastasia listening with her hearing.

"She went to go see Damon. I thought that's where you were?" Jeremy asked him.

"No, he just escaped." Alaric says, "I think he's looking for her, and the cops are after him. Listen, he's in bad shape, Jeremy, so if you find her, get her somewhere safe, okay? I'm on my way."

Both Anastasia and Jeremy stand up, earning confused looks from Bonnie and Caroline.

"If Damon is off the rails, there is nothing you can do to stop him." Bonnie tells Jeremy, "Let us take care of it."

"Bonnie.....,"

"No, Anastasia. Jeremy's human." Bonnie looks at her, "He could get hurt."

"You keep doing that." Jeremy says, "Both of you left me behind before, and guess what Jenna still died. Now, I'm going to find my sister. You go ahead and try to stop me."

Jeremy walks away, and Anastasia turns to Bonnie, "Don't try to protect my boyfriend, I can handle doing that on my own. Maybe you shouldn't let your crush on him show so much around me."

Bonnie watches the hybrid walk away with a dumbfounded look on her face.

彡☆

DAMON STAGGERS AND COUGHS as he walks through town square, turning his head, he sees Katherine in a lavender dress, "Katherine." And suddenly she's gone.

"Damon!" Jeremy walks up to the vampire with his girlfriend right behind him.

"Dad!"

"Where's Elena?" Damon asked them, "I need to see Elena now."

"Okay. Let's get you out of here first, all right?" Jeremy says as Damon stumbles and wraps his arm around Jeremy's shoulder before the three walked away.

彡☆

ANASTASIA AND JEREMY WALK into the Grill with Damon as Jeremy called someone on his phone. Anastasia takes her father away from her boyfriend and walks him towards a chair as Jeremy walks further away.

"Hey, it's me. I'm with Damon at The Grill."

Damon hears something, stands up and turns around as Jeremy and Anastasia stood behind him.

Caroline's mom is standing in front of him, gun pointed towards him. He speeds away just as she pulls the trigger, shooting Jeremy who stands direction behind him.

"Jeremy!" Anastasia screams, falling to her knees as her boyfriend falls to the ground, bullet hole in his chest, "Jeremy, hey, keep your eyes open. Don't close your eyes, baby."

"Oh, God. Oh, God." Liz says something in her radio as Bonnie and Caroline rush in.

Jeremy coughs weakly, looking up at his girlfriend, "I - I lo-,"

"No, no. Don't say it." Anastasia sobbed, "Don't tell me you love me yet. Wait - wait til your okay."

Bonnie and Caroline watch in tears, the blonde with her hands over her mouth in shock as Anastasia bites into her wrist, bringing it up to Jeremy's mouth.

"Mom. Mom, what did you do?" Caroline turns to look at her mom.

"I was aiming for Damon."

"He still has his ring." Caroline turns to Bonnie.

Bonnie shakes her head, "He's human, he's ring won't work on him."

"Jeremy, drink. Drink, Jeremy!" Anastasia sobbed harder, "Fucking drink!"

"What's going on?" Alaric rushes into the building, being the one Jeremy had called.

"I need you to grab him." Anastasia tells the history teacher as she looks up at him, Jeremy laying lifelessly on the floor, eyes closed. "Grab him! T - Take him with us."

"No, no, no, no." Liz shakes her head, "You can't move him. This is a crime scene."

"Mom, you let them go." Caroline tells her mom.

Alaric moves and grabs Jeremy, "Alright, come here, buddy. I got you. I got you."

彡☆

ALARIC LAYS JEREMY'S BODY down on the floor, Anastasia standing next to him. "Is this even possible?"

"There's a spell for it if they'll give me the power to use it." Anastasia says, "I haven't done magic in a while. I mean I did the spell to trap Elena in their house and then when we were trying to kill Klaus, but that was with Bonnie's help."

Alaric looks down at her, "Will this harm you?"

"Possibly." She mumbled as Jeremy's head was back on her lap and the candles in the house lit up around her, voices of the dead witches whispering all around, "Victus Phasmatis Ex Eleto. Revertas Phasmatis Ut Victus. Victus Phasmatis Ex Eleto. Reverta Phasmatis Ut Victus. No."

"What? What is it?" Alaric asked her.

"They're angry at me for coming back here. They don't wanna help." She tells them.

"Well, they have to!"

"They said there'll be consequences."

"Well, he's just a kid." Alaric said, "Tell them to shut up!"

"Victus Phasmatis Ex Eleto. Revertas Phasmatis Ut Victus. Victus Phasmatis Ex Eleto. Revertas Phasmatis Ut Victus. Revertas Phasmatis Ut Victus. Revertas Phasmtis Ut Vicus. Victus Phasmatis Ex Eleto. Reverseas..," Anastasia continued to chant as the voice grew lowered and blood poured from her nose. "Mom. Mom! I know you're there. Please, help me! I love him, mom!"

The whispers stop and the candles go out.

"No." Anastasia cries as Alaric looks at her with concern. After a few minutes Jeremy opens his eyes, "Oh my god."

"Stacie."

"Oh, my God, Jeremy. Oh, my God." Anastasia rocks the two.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Doesn't matter. You're okay. You're okay."

彡☆

THE FRONT DOOR TO THE Gilbert house slams open as two figures making out burst into the house. Jeremy grabs Anastasia by the back of her thighs, hosting her up so that she could wrap her legs around his waist before he closed the door, slamming her body up against the now closed wood.

A low gasp leaves the girls lips as Jeremy trailed open mouth kiss down the side of her neck, stopping just below the line of her black tank-top as he pushed her leather jacket off of her arms and into the floor below them.

Still pinning her against the door, Jeremy lets go of his girlfriend and pulls her shirt from her body, eyes focused on the black lace that held her breast up. Anastasia grabs the sides of Jeremy's face, bringing their lips back together in a feverish kiss.

"Bedroom or the couch?" Jeremy asked, pulling his lips away, a moan slipping from his lips as Anastasia kissed down his neck this time.

The green eyed girl looks up at him with a smirk on her face, "We've never tried the kitchen counter."

Jeremy laughed, wrapping his arms around her waist again, moving them away from the front door, "Kitchen counter it is."

彡☆

ANASTASIA RESTED HER CHIN ON Jeremy's chest as she watched her boyfriend sleep, so many thought running around her mind before she got up and walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

Resting her hands on the sides of the sink, she let out a sigh before turning on the warm water and splashing her face with it. Hearing movement from Jeremy's bed, she quickly leaves the room and quietly follows her boyfriend down to the kitchen.

"Anna?" She hears him ask, making her glance at the floor in confusion, "Vicki?"

Using her speed to get out of the house, Anastasia stopped at the end of the street as her phone started to ring, "Hello?"

"Ah, I thought Stefan gave me the wrong number." Klaus' voice was on the other side of the call.

"What do you want, Klaus?"

"I was calling to let you know that your father should be getting the cure at any moment from Katherine." Klaus tells her, "You're uncle is very loyal for the one's that he cares about. I see where you get it from."

彡☆

THE GREEN EYES SALVATORE STOOD outside her father's bedroom door, hesitating to walk inside. Instead, she turns and makes her way into her own bedroom, starring up at the large picture of two people in filed full of Sunflowers, "Soon, Kol."

‼️‼️AUTHORS NOTE‼️‼️
That's a wrap on season two, folks! Now, just because Anastasia didn't leave with her uncle and Klaus like I had originally planned, doesn't mean she won't. I mean, she may need to get away at some point now that her boyfriend is seeing his did ex and his stalker.

I should start writing Season 3 in the next couple of days, so be on the look out for that. Also, I'm possibly coming out with two other vampire diaries books🤔😉

Until next time!
