Eyes wide open

chapter 2

So chapter two, not gonna lie I wrote this on like 2 hours sleep so good luck and may the force be with you, No wait wrong fandom.

I can't remember if Elijah meets Jeremy prior to Klaus showing up so for this story he hasn't ran into Elijah yet. Lucky coincidence.

"Rik you here, I need a place to hide from my idiot sister. And can you please hurry up and make up with Jenna, she's almost as unbearable as Elena." He says as he walks through the door to Alaric apartment.

Jeremy doesn't even flinch as the extremely hot witch throws a spell at him. Laughing he tells him to try harder, only about seven spells in the world will work on him, perks of being an old soul. Maddox stares in shock and wonder, having never had the pleasure of meet an old soul before, he lowers his arm to take the boy in.

"So hot witch who are you?"

"I'm a warlock."

Jeremy rolls his eyes. "Same dif," He stops short, "Kat what are you doing here?"
"Better question little Gilbert what are you doing here?" She asks as she slams the knife into her leg a little harder.

"KATERINA!" rushing across the room he yanks he knife from her hand. Turning to glare at the witch who had come around the counter to watch him carefully. To harm an old soul was taboo but if he tried to let her go, he would have to stop him, Klaus would kill him for sure if Katerina escaped.

"Did you do this?"

"Nope, that is just your average vampire compulsion."

"Where is Alaric?"

He asks as the door slams open.

"Ah, you're right. This witch is all juiced up and aiming to kill." Alaric's voice from the door. Jeremy stares, tilting his head at the man who hadn't noticed him yet. Maddox goes back into the kitchen to make him a drink as Katerina nods towards the bedroom door trying to get Jeremy to leave before he is noticed.

Jeremy is oblivious to busy staring at the kaleidoscope of colours, surrounding the man in front of him, whoever was possessing his teacher was old, no not old, ancient.

Do you think this Alaric guy has anything vintage? "He goes through on of the draws annoyed by the lack on decent clothing. Katerina reminds him that Alaric was the towns vampire hunter. Maddox returns holding a glass of bourbon,

"At least he has good taste in something." He gripes taking in the glass.

It is then that he notices Jeremy. Cursing his human senses, he glares at Maddox, demanding to know who this human is and how he got in.

Maddox cringes at his anger, glad he was in a human body for now and less likely to kill him at least, until after he was in him body.

Jeremy waves, Maddox moves to stand in front of him.

It is only natural of a witch to protect those who are reborn, they re-walk the world for a higher purpose.

"I tried to get rid of him but he's an old soul spells don't work on him."

"Doesn't explain who he is now does it?"

Jeremy steps around Maddox moving fast to avoid grasping hands. He holds out a hand.

"Jeremy Gilbert, May I ask who is possessing one of the only humans on this planet I'd rather not see dead."

Klaus just stares at him in shock, no human had spoken to him in that way since his turning.

Its Katerina making an uncomfortable noise it the background that bring him back. He laughs, amused at his confidence, he shakes the boy's hand. How perfect the Doppelgangers own brother walking right into his lair.

"Niklaus Mikealson, Original hybrid and soon to be murderer of your kin."

To Klaus's shock, Jeremy doesn't drop his hand but squeezes it tighter.

"Do you want to get on with that, between her and the brothers dim I honestly can't cope." He lets go of his hand walking back over to Katerina sitting down next to her. "Ow and you need a Vampire sacrifice, don't you? Use Damon."

"You presume I would take orders from you, child." Klaus tries to intimidate, but inside Alaric's body that is easier said than done.

"No, just a suggestion." Unknown to both men, he slides a vial of vervain to Katerina. Before starting for the door. Klaus demands Maddox stop him leaving.

He cast the spell, but Jeremy walks straight through it, without a second glance. Stopping at the end of the hall he turns to address Klaus.

"If you could release him soon, I need him and Jenna to make up, so he can help me skip town." He turns and leaves without waiting for a reply.

Jeremy rushes home once there, he tells Jenna everything from him being an old soul to Alaric being Possessed, she's mad but not at him Elena and Alaric should have told her. Jenna rants for almost an hour, on the injustice. How dare Elena threaten him, just to keep her in the dark. And now Rick has been possessed.

"Jenna sit down." Frowning she follows his demands. He looks at her with such tired eye.

"The vampire possessing Alaric, I think he is my brother."

Tada, what do you think?

I worked very very hard, ok no I didn't but I did enjoy writing it, I was so tired typing this my fingers felt funny as I typed. so without further ado, I'm going to bed goodnight awesome readers.

Also, extra side note it may be a while between chapters cause I am in the middle of finishing an original piece that is going to be submitted.
