The Gilbert Twins - Damon Salvatore

1. The Real Twin

I just got home from cheerleading practice which ran late. When I walk in the door Elena rushes up to me with tears in her eyes. 

"Where have you been? I tried calling you all afternoon." Elena sobs as I drop my bag near the door. 

"Cheer ran late, what's going on?" I ask as she grabs my arm pulling me upstairs where I see Stefan waiting for us with Jeremy on Jeremy's bed. "What happened?" I ask as everyone looks shaken up. 

"He drank Anna's blood and then he took some pills," Elena explains frantically. "I mean he looks fine but-" 

"Jeremy, what the fuck," I yell throwing my hands up. I usually try to stay out of Elena and Jeremy's little arguments but this is fucking ridiculous. 

"Come here, look at me," Stefan tells Jeremy as he examines him. 

"I'm fine, I feel the exact same," Jeremy replies rolling his eyes. 

"Should we call a paramedic?" Elena asks running her hands through her hair. 

"No it's okay, he's fine," Stefan replies standing up from the bed. 

"Wait, what do you mean? You mean I'm not a vampire." Jeremy says with a disheartened look on his face. 

"Don't look so upset about it you little shit." I scoff at Jeremy as Elena gives me a pointed look. I mean it's a good cop bad cop situation honestly. Someone's gotta be bad. 

"Why would you want that, Jeremy?" Elena asks him. 

"Didn't you hear about Anna? What happened to her? She's dead." Jeremy replies as tears form in his eyes. 

"I'm confused. If she's dead how is turning yourself into a vampire going to help with that?" I state bluntly as everyone gives me a frustrated look. "What?" I reply throwing my hands up. 

"Look, Jeremy," Stefan states turning to Jeremy, "I'm really sorry about Anna, but you have to listen to me. With every passing moment, her blood is leaving your body. So if you try to kill yourself again tonight, you could really die. Do you understand me?" Stefan explains firmly. 

"Yeah, okay I understand," Jeremy replies nodding along as Elena turns to me. 

"Okay then, are you ready to go to the hospital?" Elena asks as I frown in confusion. 

"For what?" I ask. 

"Didn't you hear? Caroline got into a car accident." Elena explains as my eyes go wide. 

"I swear to god. I take two hours for cheer practice and everyone drops dead."

"Bonnie! How's Caroline?" I ask as we rush to Bonnie in the hospital. 

"She's weak, they don't know if she's going to make it," Bonnie says as I feel tears in my eyes. Out of everyone, Caroline's always been one of my favourites. Don't get me wrong she can be annoying as fuck, but I've spent my whole life with this girl. 

"Is there something you could do? Like a spell?" Elena asks desperately. 

"She doesn't know how," Damon says walking up to us bringing a small smile to my face. "But I could give Caroline some of my blood." Damon proposes. 

"No, no way," Elena replies shaking her head. 

"Only enough to heal her. She's safe here and it'd be out of her system in a day. She'll be better." Damon explains as we all listen. 

"It's too risky," Elena replies. 

"Do it," I reply at the same time as Bonnie. 

"Elena, we can't lose her." Bonnie pleads.
