“Could you get that?” Alaric yelled from the kitchen when the doorbell rang. “Sure” Jeremy replied as he walked to the front door and opened it.
Kelsey lay her finger on her lips as a sign not to speak. “I need your help” she whispered. Jeremy looked over his shoulder, then walked outside and shut the door “My sister’s dying. I bit her and now she’s dying unless I can find a cure” Kelsey continued. “There is no cure” Amber mumbled. She was leaning on her sister. “You know that. It’s over. Better dig me a grave already”
“Shut up” Kelsey said.
“Okay, so you bit her and she’s dying?” Jeremy said confused. “What the hell are you?”
“Vampire” Amber said. “Werewolf” Kelsey said.
Jeremy nodded. “Right, of course, werewolf bite can kill a vampire”
“So then you’ll probably understand I’m at the point of despair” Kelsey said. “I need to find something to save her life”
“I said there is nothing you can do” Amber repeated upset.
“And I said shut the fuck up and since I’m older you’ll do as I say” Kelsey said angry.
“She’s wrong” Jeremy came in between. “Your sister’s wrong. There is a cure”
Kelsey widened her eyes and Amber groaned. “Don’t tell her. He won’t give it to her”
“What’s the cure?” Kelsey insisted. “Jeremy, you have to tell me. You owe me” she said grabbing his upper arm. “Ahh, okay that hurts” Jeremy said, but Kelsey didn’t let go. “I helped you with your sleeping problem, now you have to help me”
“Alright, just let go of me” Jeremy said. Kelsey let go. “Klaus’ blood, that’s cure” Jeremy said rubbing his arm.
“Oh God” Kelsey said.
“Uhu, exactly, oh God” Amber said. “You now see the problem? He’s never going to give it to you, so I’m dead. Now where are the shovels?”
“You knew this” Kelsey said looking at Amber. “You knew what the cure was”
“Yes, I did” Amber confessed angry. “And I had good reasons not to tell you. See, Stefan’s brother got bitten by a werewolf and so Stefan went to Klaus for a deal. He had to give up everything and join him for a decade. I don’t want that for you. I don’t want you to sacrifice yourself for me. I don’t deserve that”
Kelsey averted her head back to Jeremy. “I know it’s a lot to ask, but I need you to invite her in”
“Kelsey” Amber said.
“Take her to your room or some other place she can be comfortable” Kelsey continued.
“Kelsey” Amber said a little harder.
“And don’t lose her out of your sight” Kelsey finished. She pushed Amber in Jeremy’s arms and rushed away.
“Kelsey, NO!” Amber screamed.
