Annie couldn't honestly say that she had liked the Trevor fellow in the short time that she had known him. As a matter of fact, he was pathetic... Still, being who she was, there was always the need to argue with Vanessa lurking in her mind. "You're beloved Trevor had his head chopped clean off just for you, Vanessa dearest. You should be proud to have traded in a person and lost the life of some dumbass comrade instead." [/fancypost]

VANESSA
[hr]
"Yeah. Yeah. But wait..Elijah never fails."

My eyes narrowee as i looked at the trio. "Well you can say that to his decaying body if you will." Jesse smirked. I rolled my eyes, then started laughing. Gosh they were annoying. "Your so stupid! Did you even know who you were up against?" I chuckled. "Who? Or what?" Darren asked as i continued to chuckle. "Both. Seems like you two really would go overhead for Annie. Even give an original vampire a good reason to rip your head off." I shot a glance to Annie. "They didn't that to me." I muttered.

"We got killed trying to save you." Jesse cut in. "And you'll only get killed again." I smirked.

Annie's face reddened at Vanessa's comment, and she rolled her eyes, looking off to the side. Yeah, she knew that Darren and Jesse practically slaved after her. She also knew that she didn't deserve either one of them, because she was a cheating, mindless teenager who couldn't get her thoughts or emotions straight. She recovered from her minor embarrassment a mere split second later, and walked around to where Darren was, standing aside him.

Of course, her stomach chose that very moment to announce it's presence and very loud need for food, causing her face to redden all over again. "Heh..." she half-coughed half-laughed, wrapping her arms around herself. "So maybe I'm a little bit hungry." she uncomfortably announced, not at all wanting to leave the room with the threat of Vanessa still looming within the household. No way in hell would she be going into any room without somebody accompanying her. Speaking of accompaniment and whatnot, where was Lily? It couldn't be that early, could it? Her younger sister had to be getting pretty hungry as well.[/fancypost]

DARREN
[hr]
I crossed my arms. Glancing to the looming Annie who lingered by my side. My eyes narrowed as I glared to Vanessa. "You seem pretry confident. But so am I. He's dead." There was a moment of silence. I could feel the tension in the air but that shaddered after Annie's stomach abruptly interrupted.

Jesse chuckled and laughed a little. I only made an amused face. Vanessa boredly looked at her nails. A fearful scream was heard and i turned to see Kelly shaking. "She. Her. What is!" Jesse quickly went to her side to calm her down. Lily walked out of the kitchen with a slice of bread in her hand. "Hey! Wait...why are there two Annie's? Annie there is another you!"

[hr]
Well, there went any shred of mental peace that poor Kelly may have had. She opened her mouth to speak, only to realize that, evidently, her sister was already awake and seemed to have gotten herself food. She must have been alerted by all of the ruckus within the livingroom.

"No, no, no, Lily. I'm me. I mean- I'm Annie. That's Vanessa. She's not another me. She just looks a lot like me." the redhead explained, scurrying over to her younger sister's side.[/fancypost]

Vanessa
[hr]
"Kids are cute aren't they?"

I chuckled. Standing up from the couch, slowly aproaching Lily. "Lily isn't it?" I asked and she nodded. I slowly took the slice of white bread from her small hands and folded it up four times. Then quickly stuffed the spongy bread in her mouth and smiled as the little girl began to cough and choke. "I am nothing..like your dear Annie."

As I stood up I felt Darren's hands roughly pull me back. "Vanessa. Leave. " he said in an threatening tone. "But don't you want to know about the originals?" I suggested.

[hr]
Annie's mother-like instincts kicked in when she saw Vanessa stuff the bread into her younger sister's mouth. Instead of doing something incredibly immature such as flipping her off, punching or kicking, or screaming at the insane redhead, she went into full-on mother-like mode and kneeled down instinctually, almost as if being controlled by a force deep within her.

She stuck her fingers into Lily's mouth and, without flinching or even making a slight gesture of disgust, pulled the mucus covered food from her sister's lips. Then, almost without missing a beat, she beat softly on the girl's back in an attempt to get her to cough up any that ay have ben stuck in her throat. [/fancypost]

[hr]
I was coughing, no choking. I felt my chest tighten up and i felt like I couldn't breath. Though i didn't panic, as Annie stepped in front of me. I couldn't keep my jerks still and my gagging was getting worse. I stared right into the green eyes of my sister as i felt instant relief and I practically gasgped for air. I coughed and gasped as my big sister patted my back.

I couldn't help the tears that came down my cheeks, it was stinging my eyes if I held back. I glared up at Vanessa, she was right. She wasn't Annie..I don't like her.

DARREN

I let go of Vanessa, but quickly grabbed her arm again and turned her body towards the door. "Thank you. But no." I said coldly. "Wait." Kelly said as she ran over to Vanessa, "My-My mother...where is she?" She asked. I couldn't tell if Vanessa was smiling, but i had a feeling she was. "She's dead." The stern voice of the female vampire replied and I say Kelly burst into tears. I let go of Vanessa and watched as she started towards the door. "Ta-Ta." Vanessa said as she opened the door.

[hr]"so go ahead and bat your eyes, and lie right to the world."
[hr]
How in the world had Darren and Jesse ever fallen for such an insane b-tch? They had to have a thing for the mentally unstable or something, because, while Annie tried her hardest not to be a total b-tch, she didn't exactly have the brightest outlook on life. "And good riddance." she muttered, storming away to the kitchen and flinging the remnants of Lily's bread into the garbage can before going to wash her hands under the warm fosset water.

She's dead. the words repeated in the redhead's mind. Poor Kelly now knew what it felt to suffer the loss of a mother. It was a feeling that she would not have wished upon anybody after having already experienced it herself. Not only once, but there was the short time that she had been able to spend with the woman back when Maddie had sent her to the past. She had come back with Lily, though motherless once more.

She rubbed her hands together absently under the water until it got so hot that a horrid burning sensation caused her human instinct to kick in and she pulled them away at last. At first, there was only a stinging sensation, but then it gradually dissipated into such a horrible pain that she couldn't even turn the handle to stop the water. Sh-t. she thought, a frustrated huff escaping her nose as she clenched and unclenched her fingers, trying to get the painful sensation to go away. [/fancypost]

[fancypost bgcolor= transparent; border: 0px transparent; width; 350px; color: white; fontfamily: script;] [size=28pt][shadow=deeppink,left]annie lanning[/shadow][/size][hr]"right now, get away from me.
you won't get the best of me."
[hr]
And thus the question that Annie had hoped to put off answering for as long as possible was asked. The sudden pain in her chest was much stronger than the burning and gradual blistering of her hands, thereby causing the redhead to temporarily forget about the physical one. She didn't want to keep anything about their mother from her innocent younger sister, but, at the same time, feared that the truth would take a large toll on her poor little heart.

She wasn't going to tell Lily the entire truth. It was far too complicated for such a young brain to handle, and Annie didn't want to have a broken down child on her (now very smoldering) hands. "Well, Lily..." she began, turning so that she didn't have to face the innocent green gaze of her sister. Despite the sharp and relentless pain tingling in her hands, she managed to turn off the water,"There was a, um, fire. It burnt down the house that you- uh- we were living in and Momma- She, uh, went down with it." God, the timetraveling thing had really screwed poor Annie's concept of what had happened up, but she was fairly sure that this was how Lily would have seen it since, due to the time travel, Annie had ended up moving back in with them, though only for a day or so.[/fancypost]

LILY
[hr]
"Momma....burned in a fire?"

My voice was small, but it also cracked which caused me to rub my throat due to the uncomfortable feeling. Fire. Yes...I remembered a fire. Wait..no there wasn't a fire. I've been living here since I was baby. My head started to heart as I got mixed memories. And not all of them were clear. Mostly blurry they were.

I made a pained face and backed up slowly, pushing my fingers into my forward. "But....but-" I stopped stalking as I swallowed tears. Then straightened up, "I'm sorry. I-I won't ask...again."

[fancypost bgcolor= transparent; border: 0px transparent; width; 350px; color: white; fontfamily: script;] [size=28pt][shadow=deeppink,left]annie lanning[/shadow][/size][hr]"right now, get away from me.

[hr]
Annie could see this revelation mentally tearing poor Lily apart, but she had never exactly been the expert at cheering people up. "No, no. It's fine. I mean, it just... Well, yeah." she stammered, clapping her hands together in a dismissive way- and then wincing immediately afterwards as a sharp pain shot through them. She cursed under her breath, and looked away. "Sorry, Lily. But at least you're here and alive and safe..." she mumbled under her breath, turning away from her younger sibling and then departing from the room.

Ugh. Why couldn't Annie be better at explaining herself? She always felt so awkward and inadequate after trying to speak her mind, especially in a situation like the one in which she'd just been in.[/fancypost]

JESSE
[hr]
I came up behind Annie and swooped her up bridal style into my arms. "Your pissed. Great." I shrugged with a frowned. Keeping my blue eyes upon Annie's. "What happened to your hand? It's red and pulsing." I asked with only slight concern.

I started thinking about me and Annie. But no this wasn't, The time to be thinking about relationships. If Vanessa is right about Elijah and stuff. Then that mean's Rose was right. And if she is..the maybe this Klaus really is alive and looking for Annie. I shook the thoughts off mind as my vision began to blurry so I had to blink to become clear.

[fancypost bgcolor= transparent; border: 0px transparent; width; 350px; color: white; fontfamily: script;] [size=28pt][shadow=deeppink,left]annie lanning[/shadow][/size][hr]"right now, get away from me.

[hr]
"P-ssed... P-ssed is a good place to start describing how I'm feeling, so I'll give you that one." Annie mumbled, seeming unsurprised by having been literally swept off of her feet. "Oh, yeah. And I burnt the frick out of my hands in the sink." she added, glancing ruefully down at her swollen palms and then back to Jesse a mere heartbeat later.

Her cheeks reddened and heartbeat quickened as she recalled everything that had happened between the two of them the previous night. The closeness of his body against hers, lips and hands trailing up and down her thin figure, pure adrenaline pumping through her veins, and even falling asleep enveloped within his arms. Everything about it had been insane, almost unreal, and she didn't regret a single second of it.

It didn't exactly take an expert to see that Jesse himself had some worrisome thoughts swimming around inside of his mind, so she pushed those particular thoughts from her head and focused instead on making sure that Jesse was quite alright. She wrapped her arms around his neck, careful to avoid brushing her hands on anything, and tipped her head to the side. "And what about you, huh? What're you thinking about?"[/fancypost]

JESSE
[hr]
I started to feel very hot allow a sudden. Then I realized was flushed, I found myself chewing on the corner of my bottem lip as Annie wrapped her arms around my neck. It was weird at how easily she ould break me down. Make me just want to kiss her, hear her moans again. Trail my hands up her sides to make her giggle- I blinked my eyes a couple times as I brought myself back to reality.

"What am I thinking?" I said back with a small smirk. "I''m thinking about you." I said in almost a seductive manner. But my face grew serious in less then a minute. "What. If...Rose was right?"

I hated feeling worried. I wasn't Darren. I don't get worried. I don't have deep thoughts. I don't fall in love, I'm a playboy. Annie should of realized that by now. So I placed her legs down on the ground. Or maybe I did love her ..? Oh it was confusing.

[fancypost bgcolor= transparent; border: 0px transparent; width; 350px; color: white; fontfamily: script;] [size=28pt][shadow=deeppink,left]annie lanning[/shadow][/size][hr]"right now, get away from me.

[hr]
Annie was unbothered and didn't think much of Jesse putting her back down, as being picked up and held for long amounts of time wasn't exactly the redheads fancy. It made her feel like a deadweight, though she never really said anything about it. "If Rose is right..." she repeated, her green eyes flitting off to the side and her face going pale.

If Rose was right, then they meant that some incredibly dangerous and merciless vampires wanted Annie's head on a stick, and would likely stop at nothing to get their way. "If Rose is right, then I'm screwed, honestly." she answered at last, shrugging as if this fact didn't scare the living hell out of her... Though it very much did. "I mean, think about it. If these vampires are as powerful as I've heard from literally everybody so far, then what can we do about it? We're kind of just... Stuck here until something happens, I guess."

God, the anxiety and tension that was likely to build if she were to sit around and wonder when death would come for her... As if she didn't already have enough on her plate. She knew that she wasn't exactly being a ray of sunshine, but that wasn't who Annie was. She was realistic. Sugarcoating things would only lead to misconceptions. [/fancypost]

JESSE
[hr]
Death. Huh, it used to scare me. But not anymore, it was nothing more then a word to me. But death upon Annie, now that was scary. I pulled her arms from around my neck and pushed them back to her sides. Careful not to touch her hands.

"Or we move." I chuckled softly. Finally flashing a small smile. But I knees this was serious. We were screwed, stuck here. Or at least Annie was. "Why are just so special." I sighed heavily. My as crossing against my chest.

I didn't want Annie to be killed. No, I loved her. We all did. Annie dying would be the worse event in my life. And I've had a lot of bad events. I blinked my eyes a couple times again. There was only one thing that came to my mind. One very cruel word that would answer everything. Yet screw up the whole universe. Vampire.

"It's because I'm a doppleganger to the ever so beloved Vanessa, and she's more or less traded me in in her place for whatever the hell it is she did to piss everybody off." Annie muttered, her voice oozing with bitterness as she spoke of her evil counterpart.

When Jesse removed her hands from around his neck was when she raised one of her eyebrows as if to ask if he were serious. He even placed them neatly back at her side, as if she were some kind of puppet. What? Shouldn't this have been the other way around or something? Normally, Annie would be in the place of the person pushing the other one away.

They were in a horrible situation, and she knew that all too well, but she wasn't going to just let Jesse get away so easily. She needed him, especially in the times that they were going through. Recalling and referring the time that he had been in her bedroom when she had walked in after a shower, Annie had to force back a challenging smirk as she looked up at him and proclaimed,"You're scared of me, aren't you?" [/fancypost]

JESSE
[hr]
"Scared. Of you? No way."

I sort of lied. Turing my head away from Annie as I frowned. Blue eyes looked to the seventeen year old. I knew she was forcing back a smirk. I could tell from the twitching of her lips.

I fully faced her now, starting to smile a little bit. "Mm. Maybe a little. You are pretty scary. But my full attention is on something else." I admitted. My arms dropping to my sides lazily. "I'm thinking about...the future. Ugh, now I'm getting like Darren. See what your making do now Annie? I'm becoming my brother." I chuckled a little.
