Vampire Diaries

Season 2

Gilbert Residence

[John is in the kitchen, and as he closes the refrigerator door, he sees Katherine standing there, posing as Elena.]

: (startled) You scared me.: Sorry.: Is Jenna home?: She had to meet the fire chief about the building. She doesn't know the truth. They've covered it up.: Yeah I know. How's Jeremy?: Holed up in his room.

[Upstairs, Jeremy is in his bed. He's unconscious after taking all those pills.]

[Elena arrives at the house. She is on the phone with Stefan.]

: I looked everywhere. (voice on phone): What do you think, someone stole it?: Yeah, someone definitely took my stuff.

[Katherine and John are still in the kitchen.]

: Can I help?

[Katherine looks down at John's ring.]

: Sure.

[Elena is still on the porch, on the phone with Stefan.]

(voice on phone): You want me to pick you up?: I'm just gonna check on Jeremy before I go to the hospital, can you meet me there?: You bet.: Okay, I love you Stefan.: I love you too.

[Katherine grabs a knife and cuts off John's fingers, including his ring. Then she pushes John against the sink.]

: [horrified] Katherine?!: [reveals her vampire face] Hello John, Goodbye John. [stabs him]

[Elena enters the house and goes to the bottom of the stairs.]

: Jeremy? Are you up? (She hears a noise in the kitchen and goes toward it.)

[Elena enters to find John on the floor, bleeding badly. She rushes over to him and tries to stop the bleeding. She grabs the phone and calls 911.)

Receiver: 911, what's your emergency?: (panicked) Hi, I-I need an ambulance to 2104 Maple Street.: (sees Katherine watching; whispers) Behind you.: What?: Behind you!

[Elena turns around and gasps but she sees no one there. She grabs the bloody knife and cautiously approaches the hallway. Katherine speeds around, frightening Elena, before she runs out the door. Elena is terrified, and then she remembers Jeremy.]

: Jeremy! (She races up the stairs to his room) Jeremy! Jeremy! (She finds him unconscious on his bed) Please, Jeremy, wake up!

[Elena shakes Jeremy frantically and he wakes up.]

[John is taken away in the ambulance. Stefan arrives at the house. The officer tries to keep Stefan from entering.]

: He's okay.

[Stefan follows Elena upstairs to Jeremy's room.]

: What happened?: He said that Anna gave him her blood and then he took these pills and now...I mean he looks fine but then again so do you. So, I just...I don't know.

[Stefan takes Jeremy's face in his hands and examines his eyes.]

: Come here. Look at me. Shh.: I'm fine, okay? I feel exactly the same.: Should I call a paramedic up here? What should I do?: (Stefan looks at Jeremy's eyes) No, he's fine.: You mean I'm not a vampire? Damn it!: Don't say that Jeremy! Jer, why would you want that?: Did you hear about Anna, what happened to her tonight? She's dead.: Jeremy, Jeremy. Come here, sit down.

[Stefan pushes Jeremy back down on the bed. He grabs his face in his hands and makes him look at him.]

: I am very sorry about Anna, but it's very important that you listen to me right now. With every passing moment, Anna's blood is leaving your system. If you try to kill yourself right now, you could really die.
