“Veronica, wait up!” Jeremy yelled as Veronica opened the door of her car. She took a deep breath and tried to keep a straight face.
“What?”
Jeremy scratched the back of his head, searching for words. “Did you hear me talking inside? Because I was just talking to myself” he lied. He tried to read Veronica’s face to see if she was buying it.
“Of course you were” Veronica replied in a serious tone. She stepped in and after she inserted the key in the ignition she looked back at Jeremy. “You need a ride?” she offered.
“Actually, I was going…” Jeremy started, but Veronica cut him off.
“Come on, Jer, you can’t be serious about that” she scoffed. “You shouldn’t be alone in a time like this. If you want I can take you to your sister” She noticed Jeremy’s hesitation. “Okay, your call”
“Wait” Jeremy said just in time. He walked around the car and got in at the passenger’s side.
When Veronica parked her car in the parking lot of the hospital and they got out, they saw Bonnie walking out of the hospital.
“Isn’t that your friend?” Veronica asked, acting innocent. Jeremy nodded and signaled at Bonnie. She noticed and headed towards them.
“Hello, Jeremy” Bonnie smiled. She pretended not to see Veronica. “Ehm…visiting hour’s over. They’re not letting anyone in”
“Oh” was all Jeremy could come up with.
“Okay” Veronica clapped her hand. “Moment of spontaneity. Why don’t we all crash at my place? We can call Matt and Keith and wait there until there’s news from Elena”
Jeremy and Bonnie traded glances.
“What? You don’t trust me? Why would I want hurt you, guys? I’m just trying to make this town a safer place. Isn’t that what you used to do, when you were still a witch?” Veronica shot at Bonnie. “Keeping the vampires in check?”
Bonnie looked away. How long was everyone going to remind her of that?
“Alright, we’ll go with you” Jeremy gave in with a look at Bonnie. “But no more past references, okay?”
“Sure, no problem” Veronica replied casual. “Now, who wants to drive shotgun?”
“What?”

The sun fell on Amber’s face and she woke up by the heat of it. She rubbed her eyes, trying to orientate, as she saw a man sitting next to her. He looked familiar. As she tried to recall she felt an insistent pain in her neck. She lay her hand on it, to see what it was. “I bit you, that’s why you’re in pain” Stefan explained. Amber looked at him. “Who are you?” she asked, crawling backwards. Stefan reached out his hand. “I’m here to help you” he said softly. Amber shook her head. “No, stay away from me!” she said terrified. Stefan didn’t move an inch. “You need help. You’re in transition, it’s not a nice feeling if you don’t feed anytime soon. I bet you’re starving” he said. Amber shook her head heavily as her stomach rattled. “I’m going home” she said with a breaking voice. “Leave me alone!” She scribbled up and staggered away from Stefan.
Zoey woke up in a hospital bed. She wasn’t happy to be there. Crowley had taken away her angel powers and she was completely human again.
She walked to the door and opened it. She came face to face with a guardian.
“Miss Allen, where are you going?” the guardian asked.
“What is this?” Zoey frowned. “Why is there police guarding my room?”
“I’m just following orders, Miss Allen” the guardian answered. “My boss has a few questions for you”
“Then I guess you should call him” Zoey said and she walked back into her room.
She walked to the window and opened it. Her room was on ground floor, so she didn’t have to climb that deep. She swung her leg over the edge, followed by her other leg. She jumped and landed on the pavers. She turned around and ran away.
