Ok, so thank you for your reviews! I really, really appreciate them! I did feel sorry for Anna when Jeremy basically told her it was all for Vicki. The texting was so cute, I am going to incorporate it into this chapter! Some of your suggestions (Pearl, Bamon) are definately considered. I might not be able to put Bamon in, not until the last chapter at least, but Pearl, well, next chapter for sure. I have captured the characters? Really? I'm definately surprised. I didn't think I did it that well, but I'm trying. I also wanted Anna to be honest with Jeremy, so yes, I wanted her to tell Jeremy everything so he could make this choice on facts and knowledge.

Do you guys know how awesome you are for reviewing and giving me suggestions and stuff? It really, REALLY helps a lot. It makes me consider what I can do with this story. So, I was also thinking of writing a vamp Jeremy/Anna oneshot, you know, seperate to this. What do you think? Maybe I'll even go out of my box and write a Damon/Elena/Stefan oneshot. Maybe.

Well, here you guys go! The next chapter!

He didn't know what to say to his sister when he got home. 'I know about vampires and how your boyfriend and his brother are vampires as well. By the way, what happened to Vicki?' No, he couldn't say that. That sounded even more stupid than the lie he came up with. He knew he would have to come up with a pretty good excuse to bring up vampires; he didn't want to freak out his sister too much. So, as he walked up the walkway to his house, he decided to take the confrontation slow. He noticed the front window open and he could hear Elena and Stefan talking. Obviously, Stefan was already at the house, Jeremy thought as he climbed up the stairs; however, he paused when he heard Stefan speaking.

"...don't know how they got out, but Damon said Bonnie might have not closed the tomb all the way," Stefan was saying. There was some shuffling before Elena spoke.

"So, how many are in town?" she asked. Jeremy took a risk and peeked through the window, seeing Elena and Stefan. Both looked extremely worried about something, but what?

"Damon said there are probably about fifteen confirmed in town. I don't know where the other eleven are, but some could also be in town. Nonetheless, we have to be very careful until we figure it out," Stefan replied as he stepped closer to Elena. He saw her look down as Stefan took her in his arms. "Elena, I promise you, I will keep you safe; I'll keep all of you safe. We'll kill them all," Stefan reassured her, which only made Jeremy freak out. He covered his mouth as he ducked down, covering his mouth with his hand. He immediately realized they were talking about vampires. What else could it be? Keeping them safe? Killing them all? There was no other explanation. But it also meant that... there were more vampires in town. He knew it wasn't good; four vampires that he knew about were enough, but now there were apparently fifteen more? He took in a silent breath as he listened to Elena speak next.

"I know. I'm just worried. I mean, with everything that's happened in the last few weeks, with Bonnie's grandmother and the tomb being opened and Jeremy acting really weird this morning-" Elena started before Stefan interrupted.

"What do you mean? Acting weird, how?" he probed. Jeremy was curious to find out what Elena was thinking about; he did act weird this morning, and Elena definately was suspicious, but did she know that he knew about vampires? Elena took a deep breath before speaking to her boyfriend.

"I mean, he had a cut on his hand and also on his neck. I think he might have been attacked by a vampire and was made to forget or something because he looked very confused as he told me what happened to his neck. I'm not exactly positive though. He was acting really weird," Elena admitted. Jeremy hid a smile as he took a quick look up again to see Elena moving away from Stefan, who did look more concerned.

"Where is he now?" Stefan asked. Elena shrugged.

"He said he had to go to the library but his books are all upstairs and he left probably about an hour ago and the library doesn't open for another hour and a half," Elena said. She let out a frustrated sigh as Jeremy ducked down again. She did look stressed and frustrated. Maybe the confrontation could wait a few days, he decided. Suddenly, he felt his phone buzz. He reached in his pocket as Stefan spoke.

"Well, once he gets back, we'll talk to him, and see if he was compelled. Maybe I'll get Damon to help out," Stefan said. Jeremy quickly scanned the message that Anna sent him: just got a minute alone. what are you doing?

Jeremy smiled a bit as he leaned up against the house as he texted her back: just overheard E/S talking. need to talk to u about it. can we meet at mystic grill?

Once he sent that, he stood up, taking one last look at Stefan and Elena, who were now sitting, watching a movie on the couch, before he left the house. Once he got the text from Anna, replying with one simple word, he proceeded to Mystic Grill. On the way to the grill, he let his mind wander to Anna. Their relationship was different for sure. With Vicki, it was very...physical and most of the time, Vicki was high or drunk, so at times, it was rough, but she did love him and there was some chemistry. With Anna, there was a lot more real chemistry and their relationship was going slowly, which was nice. He felt that with Anna, there was something different. She was always being herself around him and even wanted to protect him from herself. If she didn't care, she would have killed him weeks ago. She was also honest with him, which meant she wanted no secrets.

The almost sixteen year old entered Mystic Grill, surprised that Anna had not yet arrived. Taking a seat at an empty table, his eyes wandered around the pub, spotting a few familiar faces here and there, including Matt and Caroline chatting. He sighed as he started drumming his hands on the table, slightly impatient. When she finally arrived two minutes later, Jeremy let out a sigh of relief as she made her way over. Her hair was up in pig tails, which Jeremy thought was really cute. He grinned as she sat beside him.

"Nice hair," he said lightly, as Anna glared at him. She reached up to take them but he stopped her. "No, seriously, you look cute," he defended. Anna smiled a bit as she murmured a thanks. "So, I'm ready to hear about your all awesome past. Now, let me tell you, spare no details. I want to hear it all," Jeremy said after a minute.

Anna looked very hesitant, like she didn't want to tell Jeremy but she took in a deep breath before nodding. "Fine, I'll tell you. Now, let me warn you, it gets pretty graphic," Anna warned him. Jeremy just shrugged and flicked his hand, motioning for her to continue. "Alright, I was born Annabelle Thornehill on December 21st, 1799 in Salem, to be honest with you. My mother had died during childbirth so it was just me and my father for a while. Since I was his only child, he forced me to help out at home with the chores my mother would normally do: cooking, cleaning, and occasionally helping on our farm. When I was fifteen, I met a boy; our new neighbour in fact. His name was Charles Dunley and he was seventeen and very handsome. All the girls in town wanted him, and all the guys were envious of this. Of course, I was the lucky one that caught Charles' eye and after my father's approval, we started spending time together," Anna started before the curious boy beside her interrupted.

"Seventeen? So, he was two years older than you and your father approved?" he asked. Anna nodded, a quick look of sadness coming over her.

"Yes. At the time, I didn't know that my father was compelled to like him, and obviously, he was the vampire that turned me," Anna continued, pausing as Jeremy took this in.

"Really?" he asked. Anna nodded before continuing her story. "Yes, he turned me and it wasn't long after we met that he did so. It was three weeks maybe and my father was ill so I was working outside when Charles came by. Since we were very new for each other, I did not know how I felt, but I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. He told me I could take a few minutes off while we went for a walk. One thing led to another, he took me to an abandoned barn just three miles up the road, and turned me. It took me a while to believe what had happened, but once I did, he let me drink my father's own blood. Since my father had never treated me like a daughter, as a vampire, your senses are heightened and I was very angry at my father. So, I killed him and Charles disposed of his body. Then, Charles started teaching me about vampires, since he had been one for over a hundred years. After murdering a few enemies, one which I am not proud of, we took off, out of Salem and headed out East. It was probably around 1834 when I met my offical, I guess adoptive mother Pearl and her lovely sidekick Katherine. It was in New York and Charles and I had decided to stay for a while. The two of them really changed my life from that point on," Anna started off. She paused to see Matt come to take their order. After ordering a drink for both of them, Anna continued.

"Charles and I were happy, I must tell you. Being with him was an adventure. However, he was also sleeping with other girls, other vampires. Eventually, years later, I just snapped and told him if we were to be dating or having any relations with each other, he had to stop sleeping with other people. He didn't agree and eventually, he stabbed me in the chest, but not in the heart, so I didn't die. Katherine and my mother had walked in by that point, and my mother completely snapped. She and Katherine started hurting Charles, and since they're older than him and much more powerful, he was overpowered and killed in minutes. I didn't mind so much, but you know, after knowing the vampire that turned you over thirty years previous, it still hurt. After that, Katherine, my mother and I moved out of New York and traveled more East. We met Emily Bennett in 1859 when we moved to Mystic Falls, Virginia. She was the one that gave us the rings to protect us from the sunlight. Before that, we had to only go out at night and we survived, but getting those rings changed us. Anyways, shortly after, probably around 1862, Emily introduced us to the Salvatore brothers, Stefan and Damon. Technically, before then, we kept low and we stayed on the complete outskirts of Mystic Falls and hardly entered the town. However, meeting these two men changed Katherine a bit; she became a little less selfish and a little more playful. That was around the time that my mother met your ancestor, Jonathan Gilbert," Anna continued as Jeremy listened intently. His hands were folded on the table as the drinks were brought and he looked at Anna with such curiosity.

"Katherine got to know the Salvatore's very well, and she soon fell in love with both of them, Stefan first, and then Damon. After a year of tormenting and teasing them, her secret, which had come out a few months prior, took a deadly turn since back then, as you know, people knew about vampires and they found out about my mother and Katherine. They were both captured by Mr. Salvatore and Jonathan Gilbert and taken to the church to be burned, but they were saved and sent to a tomb to be preserved in there for many decades. No vampire was happy about that, but they accepted their fate, but Katherine was let go after she convinced the guard to free her. So, now Katherine's out there and has been for over a century. Damon and Stefan were not happy about their beloved being captured, Damon being the most upset and while trying to save their loved one, got killed, which turned them into vampires because of Katherine's blood in them. I don't know what happened to them after that because I soon fled with Emily and we never turned back to Mystic Falls. We travelled for a while but Emily felt that her home was always in Mystic Falls so she returned a year after we left. I continued to travel while figuring out a way to free my mother."

"I learned a lot as I travelled for the next one hundred years. I met many people and I discovered many different things about the world and about myself. I saw Katherine from time to time but nothing really serious. Ok, so nothing really interesting happened. I fell in love a couple of times, until I found out he was either gay, a total jerk or a vampire hunter, which only happened once and I snapped his neck clean off, but in the end, I am just Anna, the vampire, until I met you. I came back to Mystic Falls a few months ago, hidden as I watched everyone in this town. I had a plan to free my mother, and I started to set it in motion, then I met you, used you, got my mother out of the tomb, now there are fifteen or so vampires living in our temporary home, blah, blah, blah. Any questions?" Anna finished.

Jeremy just soaked all this information in. It was a lot to take in, especially about his ancestor and how he was one of the ones that actually knew about the vampires. It was scary, knowing your family knew and you couldn't do anything about it, but he was slowly getting used to it.

"Wow, I think I need some air," he admitted. Anna nodded, sipping her drink as Jeremy got up.

"I'll come with you," she said, throwing some money on the table before escorting Jeremy outside, who did look a little flustered. Just as they exited the pub, he felt himself crash into somebody. "I'm so sorry," he apologized as he looked at the familiar woman.

"No, I'm sorry for- Annabelle?" the woman said, looking directly at the other girl.

Ok, so I'm ending it there as a cliff hanger for y'all. So, what did you think of tonight's episode? It was slow at points but there was a lot of development. Love new Stefan, John Gilbert is interesting but I already hate his character, and Jeremy has finally (almost) gotten the whole truth. Now, he just needs to comfront Elena about it. Did you guys like this? Next chapter, it'll deal with Pearl/Anna/Jeremy, he'll get a lot more insight, especially about Vicki's death and Katherine/Elena's connection, and maybe some Damon/Jeremy confrontation.

Do you like this being updated once a week? I'm trying for sooner but my goal is every Thursday. Or do you want it to be twice a week? Thanks guys!
