The Gilbert Witch 4

We All Go A Little Mad Sometimes

Gilbert Residence

I'm lying on my bed.
I'm breathing hard and can't sleep.

I get up and go to the kitchen.
I place a glass of milk in the microwave and warm it up.

Can't sleep? "Conor's voice said.

I turn around scared, but I see no one there.
The microwave beeps, making me jump.
I open the door and take the cup out.
I turn around and see Connor leaning on the counter.

I gasp.

You know it makes sense; guilty conscience. "He said.
You're not here. I'm - I've got to be dreaming. "I said quickly.
And how do you know that I'm not here? "He asked.

He starts walking towards me.
I walk backward, trying to keep distance between us.

Because you're... "I started.
Go on, say it. "He urged.
Because you're dead. "I said.
Yes, I am. Was that the first time that you've taken a human life? "He asked.

I ignored his question.

Oh. It's not is it? "He laughed.

You're a ghost. That's gotta be it. You're a ghost, that's what's happening right now. Jer...Jeremy. Jeremy! "I yelled.

You're a ghost; you're haunting me. You're a ghost; you're haunting me. "I repeated.

Can a ghost do this? "He asked.

He grabs me in a chokehold and strangles me.
I thrust my elbow into his stomach and release myself from his grasp.

I push him, sending him flying across a table.
He gets up and starts to walk back towards me.

I grab a knife and stab Connor in the neck.

I take the blade out from his neck and see that I just stabbed Jeremy, not Connor.

I drop the knife.

Oh my god! No! "I gasped in shock.

Jer falls to the ground.
Elena was standing there shocked.

Elena goes down with him.
She is in tears.

Jer! Jer! Jer! Jer! No, no, no, no, no, no. "She screamed.

I look at them scared of myself.

I look down at Jer's hand and see that he is wearing his ring.
Elena does too and sighed in relief.

That doesn't make me feel any better.

No, no. Jer. "I whispered.
Elena gets up and tried to walk towards me.

No. Don't. I don't want to hurt you. "I said angrily.
Your not going to hurt me. "She said softly.
Just. Please stay away from me. "I said angrily.

A glass shatter from the sink.
She jumped surprised.

Emely. He's fine. Everything is going to be ok. "She said softly.
Are you kidding me?! I just stabbed our brother in the neck with a knife! And everything's going to be ok!?! "I asked in disbelief.

More and more glass started shattering around us.

She looked at me sadly.

Emely. Please.... "She said trying to walk towards me.
I said no!!! "I yelled angrily.

Then the windows shattered.

I ran to my room.

Elena's Pov

Later in the morning, Jeremy is lying dead on the couch.

I'm pacing in front of him.
Damon is in the room with me.
