The First Gilbert Is The Last [1]

Chapter 14: Monster

Jeremy POV 

Waking up I saw I was in a room of sorts with nobody around. I was in different clothes which were weird and when I was in a safer place would definately change out of into more normal clothes. Standing I felt that the wounds I remember sustaining were gone which yeah not strange at all. Sat at the edge of the bed I looked around getting a feel for the room. 

Dark wood dressers and wardrobes, red patterned rugs in a dark wooden panel floor. A four poster bed made from the same dark wood, in seeing a running theme here. Large windows which lightened the room with large curtains that from what I could see with the quick glance I gave them were a dark reddish colour. 

Hear the dark oak door open I quickly turned my head and stood getting into a defensive position. When the person entered I saw the caramel skinned girl who reminded me of Qetsiyah. She seemed nice and concerned about me. 

"What's your name?" I asked her cause if I'm going to have a conversation with her I should know. She thought for a second, hopefully about what I said and not her name. 

"Bonnie Bennett" she replied and I nodded. She moved closer and I tensed even further and she slowed her movements like I was an afraid animal. "What's the last thing you remember?" She asked me. 

"I remember I was in battle and then I was in a house you and some other people there and then there was Elvorix" I Said in a distant voice as I thought of my daughter who I knew was in Rome but they looked so alike it hurt. 

"Who's Elvorix?" She asked in Latin so I understood her better this time. 

"My daughter" I replied in a wistful tone as I thought of my wife. What would she be thinking? Would she think I'm dead? Would Camillus? I promised them all I'd return but now maybe my promise is broken. 

Bonnie seemed guilty, probably because she brought me here, but quickly shook her head dismissing the thoughts that were probably swirling around her head. "Do you remember how to speak English?" She asked in a lighter tone, thankfully changing the topic. It took me a minute to understand her since she went back to speaking what she calls English. 

"No" I told the girl cause I can understand it but speak it, nada. 

"You should probably learn to speak it again then" she said before she sat next to me where she proceeded to try teach me to speak English again.

Elena POV

Bonnie had gone upstairs to talk to Jeremy when he woke up since she was the only one who could speak Latin. I was sat bouncing my leg and chewing my thumb nail nervously, a habit I never broke. 

"What are they saying?" I finally cracked and questioned the vampires present. Caroline had already excused herself for some reason, probably heard something she didn't like or to call Kol and thank him for giving us the spell to get him back. Stefan and Damon shared a glance clearly debating who should tell me what they heard. Finally it seemed like Damon would tell me and he didn't seem happy about it. 

"Jeremy thought you were someone else or that you look like someone else but he doesn't remember your name and now Bonnies teaching him English" Said Damon and Stefan looked at him slightly disapprovingly so obviously I didn't get the full truth. 

"What aren't you telling me?" I asked standing hoping to get my frustrations across better. 

"He called you Elvorix" Said Stefan and then pointedly looked at Damon like asking him to elaborate. 

"And she was?" I asked raising an inpatient eyebrow since they were holding too much, like seriously what's so bad they can't tell me? 

"She was his daughter" said Stefan when it became apparent Damon wasn't opening his mouth. My mouth fell open in shock. Jeremy had a daughter? I had a niece!!!! 

"Oh my God what have I done?!! I took him away from his daughter so that means he probably had a wife!! What if he had more children? Oh God I'm a complete monster I took him away from his family!!" I cried as tears came to my eyes. I took him away from everything that was important to him!! I mean he didn't even remember me so what's the point in me bringing him back?!!! I wasn't anything to him besides a reminder of what he's lost!!!

"Hey Elena, you didn't know don't blame yourself. Plus we all wanted him back so if we were to take blame it would be all of us not just you" Said Stefan as he crouched infront of me. I'd already moved to sit back in the chair I was previously occupying. 

"But Stefan I'm a monster"
