Chapter 10 - Family

when Jeremy entered the house, he let out a defeated sigh. he was head down and sadness evident in his eyes. he looked around the house walking at a slow pace trying not to wake anyone up.

Jeremy honestly didn't feel like arguing with anyone right now. he didn't want to talk to anyone.

He slipped through the room without making a sound. At first, he thought about using the super speed to go straight to his room. But, the idea stopped in his mind when he realized he would probably bump into something and make a noise.

Passing through the room. He touched the bannister, propelling himself up the first step of the stairs.

"Where you are?" Jenna's voice interrupted him at the last second

Jeremy's shoulders slumped leaving his arms limp and his body leaned forward. He grumbled making a face and biting his tongue

Without needing much. Jeremy collected himself with a sigh. shrugged his shoulders and turned around lifting his head to make eye contact with Jenna who was standing with her arms crossed a few feet away from him, looking at him steadily.

"We need to talk" Jenna exclaimed seriously tapping her right foot on the floor "your relationship with Estella is not good for you--she's too old for you!"

Jeremy felt a stab of pain in his chest. He wanted to break down in tears right there just to hear the word quoting the name of the deadbeat who hurt his heart

"Don't worry, we're done" Jeremy forced a smile, biting his lip trying to hide his sadness and placed his hand on the bannister, "you're right — she's too old for me — she's gone"

Jeremy's acting didn't fool Jenna who had often been hurt by lovers in the past.

"Jeremy-- come here" Jenna gasped and ran to Jeremy hugging him "I'm sorry-- but-- it's better this way"

"will it hurt a lot?" Jeremy for the first time loosened up in Jenna's embrace hugging her back, his eyes were watery and Jeremy started to sniffle

Jenna who was smaller than Jeremy smiled putting her hand on his head as she stood up on her tiptoes which pulls him to her shoulder hiding Jeremy's face in her shoulder

"I'll be honest with you-- it won't go easy-- but you'll get over it" Jenna whispered in Jeremy's ear carrying him to the couch "You're a strong, handsome boy-- she's the one who's missing-- no you"

She helped him to a sitting position and laid Jeremy's head in her lap. Jenna patted Jeremy's head and began humming a song to him.

Jenna's voice was thin and full of emotion that passed one by one to Jeremy. It was like he was once again on his mother's arm when he was little

Jeremy closed his eyes, softening his body to the caress and song Jenna was singing. before long, he fell asleep leaving himself totally at Jenna's mercy.

Jenna looked at her sleeping nephew's face with emotion. She wiped the tears from his eyes and then something changed in her eyes. They got cold as ice

She touched his mouth and lifted he lip. Her eyes narrowed as she saw a set of fangs slightly larger than they should have been.

"as I imagined" Jenna twisted her face into a grimace of disgust and sadness "you became a vampire"

"I've always thought our family's craving for vampires was an illusion. maybe a delusion" Jenna took her hand from Jeremy's mouth and went back to stroking his head "I was scared when I found out they were real--I always wanted to keep myself far from it-- but--seems to be a family curse"

Jenna threw her head back, leaning back against the couch, carefully so she didn't have to wake Jeremy. "Looks like I'll have to go back to studying them in the family document."

She just stared at the ceiling wistfully. Jenna has always stayed away from family things. The Founders' Advice, The Non-existent Vampire Hunts

Jenna studied vampire biology more in family books when she had nothing to do. that's why she knew how to find out if Jeremy was a vampire

She was suspicious of the jaguar's attack on Elena and Jeremy. Jeremy was completely fine, while Elena appeared to have had her blood stolen by something resembling a giant vampire bat.

Jenna might not be a jaguar expert, but she knew that jaguars didn't suck blood.

"Ironically! my sister was dedicated to slaying vampires-- along with her idiot husband" Jenna wrinkled her nose at Grayson's "Only for her son to become a vampire- if she had here-- Just the way she was easily manipulated by the idiot-- she would have killed her son"

Jenna rolled her eyes and once again continued to stroke Jeremy's head, which had stirred for a second. She ran her hand over his head and Jeremy calmed down

"I'm going to join the council--to keep those vampire hunters who've never hunted a rabbit in their lives. far away from my nephew" Jenna curled her lip into a dreamy smile "I'm going to be to these kids what my sister never was let my nephews be a real mother and present in their problems"

Jenna stayed there humming and playing with Jeremy's hair who continued to sleep in her lap. Jenna for the first time realized the truth. being born infertile didn't stop her from having children

{You slept in a proper bed-- your HP and MP were restored}

{Author: Bed for the system is anything comfortable enough to sleep without consequences]

Later on, Jeremy opened his eyes feeling the fluff of a pillow on his head and a thick blanket covering his body. he looked around confused remembering that he had come home and found Jenna

Suddenly Jeremy's mind went blank and his face turned red. he went through that embarrassing scene of crying in Jenna's arms. Jeremy was stuck for a few minutes consumed by the shame of having gone through such an embarrassment

Lucky for him that the player's mind quickly took care of the problem leaving him normal again. The wheezing sound of the TV caught his attention. as it was quite loud making him roll his eyes at the TV that was playing a film for +18 with a guy very much like Jeremy and a girl with a resemblance to Elena fighting in a bed a scene that could only be described as hard

Jeremy confused then took his eyes across the couch to where Elena was looking at the film with a wicked smile on her face and her eyes were tearing up at something that wasn't sad.

She was covered with the same thick blanket that was covering Jeremy. he pretended he wasn't seeing anything and didn't wake up. He tried to go back to sleep. But, the sound of the TV and the vibrating sofa did not let him continue to sleep

"Can you get this thing off the TV?" Jeremy complained getting up and earning a look from Elena who was still tearing up.

"che-- boring" Elena complained turning her face and turning off the TV. Her eyes flicked back to Jeremy, glinting with sullenness. "So how was it with Estella"

Jeremy rolled his eyes, was she that she was grumpy? Well. She never liked Estela-Isobel and maybe Elena's instinct was right all along "We broke up"

Jeremy this time just looked up at Elena without showing any feeling. His mind was already emptied of the chaos and betrayal he felt upon discovering Isobel

"Good! I don't know what's good about that sly girl-- if you want sex-- you already know where to find NEAR and far from home." Elena rolled her eyes in contempt. she made some moves under the blanket with her leg touching Jeremy's foot "That bitch finally realized she was too old for you"

"ELENA!-- please-- let's forget about it, the woman wasn't even human!" Jeremy mumbled calling Elena's name with a lot of force and seriousness in his voice "she was a vampire"

"Jeremy? My god! did she do anything to hurt you?" Elena widened her eyes and jumped at Jeremy. A fury sparked in her eyes as she touched Jeremy's body. "Are you alright?-- I'm going to stick a wooden stand in the bitch's heart"

Elena moved to get up from the couch with a grimace of fury on her face. she would kill Estella

"Elena-- it's not even-- I took care of it" Jeremy grabbed Elena's arms and pulled her down, pressing her against the couch to stop her.

The two came face to face with Elena beneath Jeremy with wide eyes and a red face. many expressions crossed her face and her eyes showed many emotions

'Is he finally going to take action?' Elena thought with her mind on fire with happiness.

She closed her eyes and pouted for a kiss from Jeremy. But, unfortunately for her, the kiss didn't come and the situation got even worse when a vibrating device fell off the couch, drawing their attention.

Jeremy looked at the phone and looked at Elena. he swallowed hard. At first, Jeremy thought she was joking and nothing was happening under the blanket even though the couch was shaking.

As he looked at the vibrating device, Jeremy started to laugh and got off Elena quickly, running to the kitchen and pulling a cell phone from the table.

The cell phone without a number that had already been cancelled. by the cell phone operator that Jeremy only used to do the maths when he had to do homework, as the cell was old and the only good thing he had was a camera

Jeremy turned on the camera on his cell phone and began filming Elena with the device vibrating on the floor beside her "look who got caught in a blatant? Does Elena Gilbert have something you want to talk about in her defence?"

"You idiot-- give it to me here" Elena got up from the couch showing the truth that she was only wearing a tank top and ran to Jeremy

trying to get the cell phone. But for her bad luck. Jeremy picked up his cell phone and started running around the house laughing and recording Elena.

Elena started running after him trying to cover her face to avoid being filmed. But she was also laughing as she chased Jeremy.

So Jeremy managed to get Estela out of his mind with a jagged and instantaneous knowledge.

--

Minutes later

Jenna opened the door to the house and found herself with a scene of Jeremy and Elena making possessions to take pictures clinging to each other. Jenna wouldn't have thought it bad if Jeremy wasn't in his underwear and Elena wasn't in a tank top

"Go get some clothes on, you brats" Jenna grabbed an apple from her shopping bag and threw it in their direction, hitting Jeremy in the head first and then Elena in the face.

They both cringed and laughed as they climbed the stairs. "Let's go Aunt Jenna" The two shouted as they each entered their respective room

"He's better" Jenna chuckled with relief putting her groceries on the table and heading to the couch where she grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. To end up seeing yourself face to face with a very violent +18 movie

She gasped slitting her eyes almost screaming the word Jeremy when she saw a vibrator on the floor and her eyes widened and narrowed almost at the same time showing anger "Elena! What did I say about watching abusive videos"

"not abusive" She got a yell back

"So what is it?"

"It's a mutual bondage fetish -- not abusive" Elena's scream echoed through the house "It was mutual sex Hard and not abusive"

"Shut up, brat — I don't care what kind of tag the video is, I just don't want either of you watching an abusive video."

"I already told--"

"shut up"

So one more day ends up in Gilbert's completely normal family, one that in the future will be atypical for much destruction and death that will come to the family
