Chapter 1: This Is Gonna Be A Wild Ride.

TVDTVDTVDTVDTVDTVDTVDTVDTVDTVDTVDTVDTVDTVDTVDTVD

In a random apartment in North America there was a young man who was on the floor of his apartment building hand clutching his chest. 'So this is how I'm gonna go huh'. Whenever he thought of his death he believed it would be more peaceful maybe when he was an old man peacefully slipping away in his sleep.

The similarity between his fantasy and reality were the fact that he'd be going alone, he had no siblings, close friends, not even a girlfriend. He'd never met his parents so that was nothing to get sad over, the day after his 18th birthday his foster parents disowned him and he'd gotten his one room apartment.

The neighbors weren't too bad he guessed.

Though he lacked any real social attachments he wasn't unhappy or anything, he'd spent all his time watching tv and movies any media really , some people would find that sad but it made him happy, like he was able to live vicariously through many lives.

As the light slowly left his eyes his only regret about his life was that he wasn't able to live long enough to find people to care for.

The Other Side

The same young man that had just been dying on his floor found himself standing in an open space completely immersed in fog. He found himself completely overwhelmed, the fog was up to his thighs so he couldn't see to the ground, the only thing that let him know that he was standing was the feeling of his feet on a solid surface.

It was also in the air around him, it was thinner but still so thick that his vision didn't stretch out more than five feet.

"Yeah I know it can get a little disorienting at first."

He was caught off guard and sharply turned around to face the sudden voice only to come face to face with two people he recognized from one of his favorite pastimes.

"Holy Shit I'm on the Other Side." He muttered as he stared at Annabelle Zhu and Jeremy Gilbert holding hands. Fuck yeah Jer!

"Yeah they said you would understand pretty quickly." Jeremy muttered as they both stepped towards you. "So you're the guy who's gonna take my body huh?"

"Wait what." He didn't understand what was going on, take his body? Ok brainstorming time!

Ok, so Jeremy is here with Anna meaning that he died but how?

"I committed suicide when...I found out that Anna died." He said his voice filled with melancholy before Anna gripped his hand causing him to smile at her. The young man felt both confused and kinda like a third wheel as he stood there wondering when Jeremy became a mind reader.

"I'm not a mind reader, inner thoughts and outward speech aren't really any different over here."

Well that explained that now to the most pressing questions, why is here, why is he getting Jeremy's body, how are they on the Other Side together, oh and lastly.

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING!?!?

"Woah no need to shout there buddy boy." Anna said as she uncovered her ears. "As for your questions we don't have the answers to all of them, so we'll just tell you what happened to us." She then shifted towards Jeremy silently telling him to explain.

He sighed and looked towards the young man. "After I died I woke up here with Anna, I didn't know why I had appeared on this side, as you probably know it's exclusive to supernatural creatures. That's when they came, well their voices, we didn't see anyone." He paused to make sure the other male understood.

At his nod he continued, "They called themselves the Old Gods, they offered me a deal, I would be able to spend the afterlife with Anna in peace if I allowed another spirit to take up residence in my body."

The hell, Old Gods those weren't in the canon story which kinda makes sense since this is a dimension where Jeremy dies. Guess I'm about to be apart of a supernatural prophecy, I fuckin hate those, probably not gonna go along with it all the way.

"We can still hear your thoughts you know?"

He was brought of his contemplation by Anna's question.

"Yeah I know, as to this prophecy or destiny or whatever I agree just tell me what to do." He wasn't ready to die just yet, also hot supernatural women.

To be honest his reasons for helping weren't completely for the young couples benefit. It seemed as though they didn't care though judging by the grins that broke out on their faces.

As soon as he had told them that he accepted their deal the fog that was surrounding them began to thicken, as it consumed his vision he heard Jeremy's voice echo through it.

"When you wake up they said to go to the witch house as soon as possible, you'll find what you need there!"

As he spoke his voice kept getting quieter as if he was moving away.

"Oh yeah, be sure to look after my sister!"

Will do buddy.

Gilbert House

Inside the room of Jeremy Gilbert sits his corpse, cold and unmoving for a few moments there is absolutely no sign of life.

"Ah!" Suddenly his eyes shoot open and he sharply sits up letting out a gasp. He pants wildly while his hands darts around his body as if to make sure that he actually exists.

Quickly standing to his feet he takes himself over to his bathroom and looks into the mirror. "Well looks like it worked." He muttered as a face not his own looked back at him, the shaggy dark brown hair falling over his eyes and he reached up to brush it out of his face. "I'm definitely getting a haircut."

He then proceeded to take off his shirt, just for kicks, he had to admit for a depressed pothead Jeremy kept things together really well, he'd have to keep up with some excercise, no need to put a healthy body to waste.

"John!!" From downstairs he heard a scream.

'Elena' he thought worried, if this is the day that Anna died then that means that Katherine is here. Rushing out of his room he ran down the hall and jumped the whole flight of stair like it was nothing.

Turning towards the kitchen he saw Elena kneeling on the floor besides a bleeding John Gilbert, behind her stood her vampire doppelgänger simply staring at them.

"Katherine." Jeremy had only whispered but by the twitch of her ear she had obviously heard him, turning towards him she grinned, next thing he knew it he was slammed into the wall by Katherine with her hand on his chest. Looking at her he saw the veins under her eyes pulsate, she took one finger and dragged it down his chest slowly.

"So you were Anna's little boy toy, I can surely see the appeal." She purred before scratched his stomach drawing blood and looked straight into his eyes. "See you around baby Gilbert." Those were her last words before she blurred away out of sight.

"Jeremy are you ok!?" Elena shook him out of looking in the direction of the open door as she walked towards him her hands slightly bloody.

Turning towards her he simply nodded his head and hugged her not caring for the blood marring his stomach or her hands. Elena assumed he was shaken by the encounter but in truth he was simply giving his condolences to the young woman who had lost her brother.

Mystic Falls Hospital

The paramedics had come to pick up John and things had remained as close to the story as possible.

Caroline, Matt and Tyler were caught in a car accident. The tomb vampires and the mayor had all died in the fire and Katherine Pierce was running wild somewhere in town.

Jeremy walked over towards Stefan and Damon as Jenna and Elena began talking about her speaking with the Petrova doppelgänger. "Hey guys I need to talk to you about something."

The two brothers shared a glance before Damon spoke with a mocking grin, "Can you give us a minute little Gilbert the big boys are having a chat."

"No It can't, and believe me this is more important." He said walking a short distance away from his pseudo family, Stefan and a reluctant Damon following.

Turning towards them he spoke in a hushed tone of voice, "Who's Katherine Pierce?" He had to hold in a grunt as Damon grabbed his shoulder and pushed him against the wall. "Where the hell did you hear that name!?" His eyes had grown darker as he spoke in a voice even lower than Jeremy's.

"Anna told me, said that her mother had a best friend by that name that was supposed to be in the tomb." He said looking undisturbed by Damon's glare.

"What about her?" Stefan interjected removing Damon's hand. Jeremy looked towards both of them for preparing some the the best acting of his short life.

"W-when John was attacked, it wasn't one of the tomb vampires, it was Elena well someone that looked exactly like Elena." He made sure to make his voice as shaky as possible and stutter to make it believable.

At hearing this unprecedented news the Salvatore brothers faces fell into grim frowns, Jeremy also set his face into a frown, while they would be trying to counter the threat of Katherine he had much bigger problems to face.

First things first he had to make it to that Witch House.

Mystic Cemetery

Sitting upon a tombstone Katherine was pondering her meeting with John and Jeremy Gilbert. The sensation of stabbing him brought her no small amount of joy, call it payback for Pearl and Anna.

He'd survive probably, but she'd make sure that he'd suffer even worse if he decided to go against her ever again. A smile broke out on her face when she thought of the younger Gilbert, he was certainly more fun than his uncle.

And don't even get her started on his blood!

She had to suppress a moan from the mere memory of it, she had lived for over 500 years as a vampire but she never encountered anything as tasty as that. She might be on the run from Klaus but that doesn't mean she couldn't have a little fun while she was here.

"Ahh, It's good to be back."
