CHARLIE WAS AT THE SCHOOL, HELPING SET UP FOR AN EXHIBIT. Some professor that Damon, Elena, and Bonnie had met at Duke was coming to talk about old witches or something. The Lockwood girl was not sure about the details. What she did know was that helping out counted for volunteer hours that might help her get into college. She needed all the help she could get since she was not even at school half the time.
When she had left the two teenagers at the Grill, Elena had apparently found Connor and killed him, which was not turning out so well for her. According to Klaus, once you kill one of the Five, whatever the hell that meant, you would be haunted by their ghost, and the Gilbert girl had too many ghosts haunting her already. The last thing she needed was one moer.
The hybrid girl and Jeremy were organizing some boxes, but she kept catching him staring at his hand. He would seem really focused on it until he realized that she was staring, and he would get back to work and pretend like nothing happened. She finally asked, "Okay, what is going on with you? You've been acting weird ever since that thing at The Grill."
"Do you see anything on my hand?" he asked, holding out his hand for her to see. She looked at it closely but was still confused at the end of her examination. She shook her head and looked back up at him with a concerned expression. He glanced around, making sure that nobody could hear them and that no vampires were listening in that he could see. He leaned in and muttered, "What if I told you I saw the beginning of a mark like Connor's?"
"Are you serious?" she exclaimed, and a couple of people looked over at them because of how loud she was. The brunette boy immediately threw his hand over her mouth and shushed her.
He nodded, immediately removing his palm from her lips when she licked it. He sighed and looked back down at his hand, staring at the mark in deep thought. "It showed up after he died. He told me that I was a potential. That's why I could see his mark."
"So what does that make you? Like, the next chosen one or something?" she quizzed. Jeremy as a hunter would definitely cause some problems considering his sister and his... girl person friend were both vampires.
Suddenly, April and a man came walking up to them, carrying some boxes. The Young girl grinned when she saw them. "Hey guys."
"Well, don't let her do the heavy lifting. I found her wandering the hallways with this," the man scolded them playfully before holding up a giant rock. He chuckled before reaching out his hand to shake theirs. "Just teasing, I'm the guy who wrangles all the freaky stuff. Atticus Shane, please call me Shane, I beg you. Thank you guys for helping, I really appreciate it. You all get free admission to my free exhibit."
