In my free time —which I have a lot of now a days — I've been practicing my magic. I've taken the lives of birds and put them back. I tried to take a life and add it to another different bird but it wouldn't take, I could only put it back where it belonged.

It got me thinking, what if I tried it on a different animal. A bigger animal. So I tried it on rabbits and it work just the same. I could take it and put it back but I couldn't swop it.

What if I tried it on a human? I don't dare follow through. What if I couldn't bring them back to life. Or enjoyed it so much I didn't return them back to life because I will admit, for those brief moments the animal was dead, I felt a little more alive.

Tonight I decided I would leave the animal dead and see what happens. The link draw the life away from the bird and into my body. It's like my magic knew I would keep it for myself and it claimed the birds life as my own.

I heard a stick break in the distance. I turn and find Bonnie. "How long?" She folds her arms.

"How long what?" I get up from the ground.

"How long have you been doing this alone? Killing animals?"

"I've been practicing for a while. Today is the first time I'll be keeping what I took." She halted at me.

"I see the way it's changing you. You hunger for it! You need to stop." I won't convince her so I lie through my teeth.

"Okay I'll stop." We embrace and walk to the Founders Day.

We get there in time to see the Founders court. Bonnie and I look at them drive by. She waves to Elena and I must admit that she looks wonderful.

The moment is ruined when Damon moves into our line of vision. I sense drama and leave before it unfolds. I whisper to Bonnie that I'll find her later.

I walk and find my way to The Grill. A couple of hours pass and I wonder if the parade is over. Jeremy is here, he saw me and hasn't made a move to talk to me. That's fine I tell myself.

I'm miserable because of him but the only way to get through the day is to lie to myself. Elena walk in with normal clothes. She must have seen us so far apart because she drags me out of my seat and walks to where he is.

" I don't believe that we can't fix this. I lied, I was wrong. I made Ivy lie along with me but she didn't want to. She wanted to tell you and she didn't agree with my methods. But you're our brother, Jer, and we love you, and I have to fix it. So just tell me, what can I do?"

He looks at both of us with such venom. I've never seen such anger from him. "Go to hell. Both of you."

I speak loud enough for him to hear. "I'll meet you there." I don't bother to look at either of them.I drive home. I couldn't stand another minute there any more.

Hours later I hear someone enter the house. I've been staring at my wall ever since I got home, so I get up and welcome this distraction. I find John in the kitchen.

"So something has been bugging me." I start and he whirls around. He must not have heard me.

"You scared me."

"I met Isobel..." he doesn't looks surprised. "You knew that already though didn't you?" He nods his head.

"She told me something interesting. That you two knew each other years ago and that you had a crush on her."

He doesn't speak or move. "Are you my father?" The words fall out.

"Yes." His words ring in my ear. I didn't think he would admit it so easily. I knew we had a good relationship for a reason.

My body moves before I tell it to. I crush him in a bear hug. We stand there for what feels like hours.

"Don't expect me to call dad." I smile before walking up to my room. This is actually good news. At least I have one parent still alive and that has to good for something.

Unfortunately the night didn't stay that happy, when does it ever in Mystic Falls? A little later I heard Elena scream and ran downstairs to find John hurt. I immediately called an ambulance and we rushed him to the hospital.

All I remember was getting in the ambulance and telling them I'm his daughter. I didn't think, I only hoped that my only living parent wouldn't die. No matter how much of an ass he actually is.

Hours passed and I just sat there thinking this night couldn't get any worse until I got a text from Bonnie telling my Caroline was in an accident. Before I got to Caroline however Elena texted me :

Dumb twin: We need you. Jeremy drank vampire blood and tried to kill himself. He didn't die but you have to talk to him. I'm afraid he might try again and he won't listen to me.

What the hell is going on tonight? Since there was no news about John yet I might as well go to where Bonnie is. At least I won't be so alone. But my blood runs cold when I see her. She's talking to Matt and he never has good news.

"She's not good Bon."
