The Blue Eyed Gilbert

Chapter 1

Jeremy's POV

I sat down on my bed with alcohol in one hand and drugs in the other. Elena told me to stop with the drugs and alcohol. I'm ruining my life. Well there's one thing Elena doesn't know and that is that her twin Melanie is a worse drug addict and alcoholic than me. Melanie is my older sister and Elena's twin. The only differences between them is hair style, clothes and eye colour. I was about to drink the alcohol when I hear banging on the door. I sign and hide them. I open the door to see Elena.

"Jeremy what are you doing with your life?! You're destroying it!"

"Don't give me the stupid lecture Elena! How about you give it to Mel! If you think I'm bad enough then you haven't met her!"

"Jer what are you talking about?"

"Melanie is a drug addict and alcoholic. She's worse than me Elena and that's her way of grieving but when she's around others she's different." She walks out and I sigh. I'm so sorry Mel.

Mel's POV

At the moment I'm in the woods trying to escape the wrath of Elena. Apparently Jeremy told her about my way of grieving. But I will not break. I have to be strong for everybody's sake. Around others I act like an emotionless person. People say I'm an heartless bitch who doesn't care that her parents died. Of course I care! I still remember the day of the crash.
Flashback
"Elena you shouldn't be sneaking out to a party while we aren't at home!" Shouts dad. We are in the car. Apparently Elena snuck off to a party. While they bicker I just stay quiet. I mean I'm the forgotten Gilbert. The shadow of the almighty Elena Gilbert. I zone back in when the car swerves off the Wickery Bridge and we go into the lake. Mum lost consciousness as well as Elena.
"Dad! I'm scared!" Dad turns around to reassure me that we are going to be fine. The car submerges with water and I mouth 'I love you' to dad and that's when I realise that I can't be this scared little girl anymore. I need to be strong for Elena. I see someone swim down and take Elena out. I break my seatbelt and try to help dad but he stops me gesturing for me to go. I kiss his forehead and swim up. Just before I black out I see a boy our age with brown hair and green eyes. He mutters Katherine and Christine. I black out after that.

Flashback over.

I sigh and run through the woods. I fall to the floor by bumping into someone. I look up and see a boy about 25ish with black hair and blue eyes like mine.

"Christine." He says with a look of love on his face. Who the hell? Just like that other dude.

"No I'm Melanie. Melanie Gilbert but people call me either Mel or heartless bitch. Call me one of them or something else I really don't care."

"You're just like her." He mutters then within a blink he is in front of me. Vampire. Yes I know about vampires. But I'm the only one that does out of my family. Dad taught me about them on how to kill them, their weaknesses, strengths. He tried compelling me saying,

"You will not remember what has just happened once I disappear."

"I will not remember what has just happened once you disappear." I repeat pretending that his compulsion worked. I reach beyond my back and grab my stake. He leans forward to kiss me. Once he has closed his eyes I stab him in the back just below the heart. He groans in pain and falls to the floor. I reach into my boot and grab the supply of vervain I have in a needle. I stab him in the neck and he loses consciousness. I drag him to the Lockwood cellar and tie him to a chair with vervain ropes. I take off his daylight ring and close the blind that has the sun shining through. I want answers. He groans and wakes up.

"Where am I?"

"You are somewhere no one can hear or rescue you."

"How did you not get compelled?"
