CHAPTER EIGHT

"Don't let me be gone."

Nik and I arrived at the lake house where Jeremy was being held up for Hunter training. When I heard Elena's name, my ears perked up in interest. After finding out that Elena was sired to Damon, I haven't seen or talked to her since. We both have been busy doing different things which is kinda sad seeing as I really want to spend time with my cousin.

Plus, after finding out that my three friends, Caroline, Stefan, and Tyler threw me under the bus along with Nik, I don't know who to trust. I know that Elena, Jeremy, Damon, Bonnie, and Matt had nothing to do with the hybrid attack because they all have been busy with helping Jeremy out.

Apparently Jeremy's Hunter instincts have been kicking him, making him want to kill Elena. Damon, Elena, and Bonnie didn't want me anywhere near him until they calmed down his blood thirst.

Nik was the first to speak up, bitterly might I say. "I'm sorry. Did I interrupt play time?"

Jeremy turned to look at us, his eyes glancing at me before landing on Nik. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"We're simply appreciating the sights and smells of nature, Jer," I said, "What do you think?" I sassed him, "how many vamps have you killed?"

Damon rolled his tongue over his bottom lip before answering, "If we throw Jeremy out into the world right now, he's chum."

Nik clicked his tongue, holding up a finger, "Now, see, that's not a number. 10... that's a number. That's how many of my hybrids I slaughtered with my sword. 2... that's how many Spencer had to kill. 3... that's how many days it took to quell the urge to kill your brother, after he knowingly watched as my love and I walked into a death trap. 1... That's the number of purposes you serve."

Nik tilted his head, "You are here," he started, walking towards Damon, "to grow Jeremy's mark, so I ask again... How many vampires has he killed since he's been here?

"Zero."

"Hmm." I hummed, rolling my neck as I looked up at Damon. "That's a pity." I might not want the cure for Elena seeing as she was an amazing vampire, but wanted to help Nik with the hybrids.

"I'm going to need that cure sooner rather than later, hybrid shortage and all," Nik said, "How can we help?"

"You know..." Damon trailed off, grabbing the gun off of the picnic table, and started putting it back together. "Now that you mention it, Jeremy... Watch and learn."

In a flash, I pushed Nik out of the way, getting shot in the shoulder twice. I growled out in pain, my eyes flashing blue.
