The Reaper

Chapter 2: No Roots

Jeremy POV 

-FLASHBACK- 

Pain. Anguish. That's how I'm spending my 6th birthday. But they mean nothing I suppose just another day closer to when you die. 

"вводить сыворотку" Said one of the doctors who had been doing the surgery, I'm surpirised I didn't pass out I usually do. The needle came closer, I knew better than to panic that would only make it worse. The pain only got worse. A lady loomed over my line of sight. 

"спать сейчас, жнец" she told me. I did as I was told. 

-PRESENT- 

"Jeremy!!" I heard someone shout and looked to see Caroline stood next to the tabl I was sat at outside of the school. She seemed concerned. "You okay?" She asked sitting down opposite me and I nodded my head, even I didn't believe myself. 

"Just some bad memories" I Said to her and thankfully she at least had the decency to looked guilty. 

"I put your things back" she started but I knew she wanted to talk some more. "Look, I looked in your sketch book and I have to ask otherwise I'm going to regret it, was the kid you? Are those your memories?" She asked in a pained voice and I just looked at the table not answering, that was the only answer she needed. "Jer, why didn't you ever talk to anyone? How could your parents let that happen to you?" She cried, thankfully not loud enough for others to hear, in outrage.

"Caroline I couldn't talk cause then they'd find me, alright?" She reluctantly kept her mouth shut. "And my parents I never met them, I remember everything that's ever happened to me god I even remember being born and it was at that place, my mother never even got to see what I looked like" I told her and tears made tracklines down Caroline's face. It's understandable, to her it was something aweful one of the worst sins possible to me it's just life. "Can you not tell anyone or even mention it again unless I bring it up or it could save someone's life?" I asked her and she pondered for a minute until a spark lit her eyes, god help me. 

"I'll drop it if and only if you tell me more about yourself and you try help me control my bloodlust, deal?" She offered and I nodded straight away. I've had to deal with some stubborn people in my life but Caroline Forbes was by far the most determined. "Great, well tell me where you were born and raised?" She asked and I sighed, guess we're starting now. 

"Born and raised in Russia until I was 13 when I came to America 2 months before the Gilbert's adopted me" I told her and she seemed surprised and thankfully before we could finished our conversation Stefan walked over. 

"Hey you 2 okay What with the whole Elijah and Klaus thing?" He asked sitting down next to Caroline. 

"Fine we were just talking about the other day when we tried to ask him about his past" Said Caroline and I nodded in agreement before she turned to look at me excitedly. "Soooo, do you have an accent?" She asked and I rolled my eyes sighing. 

"Yes I do I did spend most of my life there" I told her still speaking with an American accent. She seemed disappointed that I wasn't speaking in my natural tone but screw her she's lucky I'm telling her this stuff. She started with the puppy dog eyes, why did she have to start with the puppy dog eyes?!! "Fine Fine you win happy now you Satan wanna-be?" I asked her finally speaking with a Russian accent after 3 years. It was still as thick as ever but it sounded strange now that I'd gotten use to using an American one. 

She squealed in delight whilst Stefan just sat shocked out of his mind. Caroline suddenly went quiet and I felt a familiar presence behind me. Turning around I saw furious brown eyes that looked like they could burn the entire world the rage in them was so strong. 

"YOUR RUSSIAN!!" Screeched Elena as she cane and sat next to me. She really shouldn't be bothered about that at a time like this, considering the full moons tomorrow and Klaus is more than ready to kill her. "I can't believe you never told me this, were you ever going to tell me?" She asked now she just sounded hurt, great. 

"Okay no I wasn't going to tell you because it doesn't matter, my life in Russia is over and if I can help it I'm never going back there" I Said in a determined voice and Caroline nodded her head with full sympathy (great) whilst the others looked a mixture of confused and concerned. "So why are you here and not I don't know running away to prevent yourself from being ritually sacrificed like Katherine should have been 500 years ago?" I asked her now back to an American accent. She laughed lightly before she became serious. 

"Klaus can hurt a lot of people i care about if I don't do what he wants. Jeremy, I don't want you or anyone else I care about to get hurt, period" she said determined and I nodded my head in understanding. Bonnie better hope she can find a way to save her if Elijahs elixir fails. 

My phone notification went off and I saw a text from someone I had t heard from in a long time.
