WHO: Jeremy and Anna
WHEN: Tuesday morning, after this
WHERE: The Park
WHAT: Jeremy goes to greet Anna
RATING: TBD
STATUS: In progress

Jeremy didn't know what was going on in his head right now. On the one hand, he was so glad he was back to normal. However, that meant that Vicki was a vampire again, and he knew how hard that really was for her. He wanted to support her, be with her, but now Anna was here too, and he couldn't just ignore her. She'd been dead. He'd missed her. He had to admit, although maybe not out loud, he still had feelings for her. But he was with Vicki now. He should be happy about that, but somehow it all just felt like a massive mess with him stuck right in the middle.

He felt quite guilty as he slipped out of the appartment he shared with his sister and headed downstairs. He was actually glad Anna was out in the park, in daylight, because he knew it would avoid any sort of confrontation with Vicki, who would be stuck inside at least until nightfall. He hated feeling like he was sneaking around behind her back, but she'd sounded so vulnerable earlier, and he didn't want to hurt her. Still, he wanted to see Anna, so much the need was almost palpable. He wanted to check her over, make sure she was alright, make sure she was actually real.

Jeremy pulled his hood up over his head as he made his way out of the building, heading towards the park. There was nothing wrong with just seeing Anna. She was his friend before she'd been his girlfriend... The whole time difference thing might be a bit awkward, but his first concern was making sure she was alright. He just wished he could convince himself that was the only reason he wanted to see her.

He tried to stop thinking about it the rest of the way to the park. He was going to be happy to see Anna, no matter what. He was determined about that. He hadn't said exactly where to meet him, and the park wasn't exactly small, so he looked around as he made his way into the green space. This city was very different to Mystic Falls, but he was beginning to get his bearings here. It hadn't helped that he'd been stuck inside for ages, confined by both the sun and his fear of hurting someone if he ventured out at night.

Jeremy stopped by a bench, scanning the park for Anna. It was terrible, but he was worried he might not recognise her. It had been months for him since her death and her image in his memory was beginning to become fuzzy around the edges. It had been the same with his parents and Vicki. It was almost like losing them all over again. Somehow this place had given him a second chance with Vicki, and now with Anna. He wasn't going to waste it by brooding about a situation that might or might not turn awkward.

"No," Jeremy confirmed. "He's not going to try it here. And even if he did... I'd just come back to live again." He shrugged. He really hoped Damon didn't try to kill him again, even if he wasn't the same Damon as back home. Dying hadn't been a particularly nice experience. Still, dying and coming back to life was a hell of a lot better than dying and staying dead.

Jeremy looked at his ring. It was powerful, he supposed. He'd never really tried to work out how it worked, although he knew enough about witches and their liking for magic jewelley to guess it had been spelled at some point in its history.

Jeremy frowned slightly as she stepped awkwardly away from him. He didn't mind her touching him, he hoped she knew that. It wasn't a good idea, what with Vicki and everything, but he didn't mind it. Still, he laughed at her statement about magic rings. "Maybe we should make up a handshake," he said, teasing her.

Jeremy coming back to life would not be the issue if Damon tried something like that again, at least not in Anna's mind. While she did not believe in revenge, she did believe in protecting what was hers. After all she had spent almost a century and a half looking for a way to free her mother, many people would have just moved on. Still for now she let it be. Right now Damon was simply registered as someone to watch.

Whether Jeremy minded was only slightly consequential. Touching him was far too easy for her, it felt natural. The last time she'd seen him, even if she was being dragged away, he had been in love with her or at least she thought he was. Right now she was not sure and that was a tightrope that she had to walk. "We could do that, sure. Everyone would be jealous of it's secret handshakeyness." she laughed, lowering her hand back to her side.

Jeremy laughed, looking down at his ring before putting his hands back in his pockets. "It'd be too dangerous," he said, still grinning. "Envy might get the best of people." He shook his head and started walking again, noticing he was a little closer to her than he had been before the magic ring Snap game.

"But, yeah," he carried on. "I guess it could come in handy, considering who I run with." Most of his closest friends were vampires, not to mention both his ex girlfriends. It was definitely handy to have a ring which meant he'd come back to life if there were any little accidents.

"Well we can't risk that." she laughed, shotting him an impish smile for a moment. She noticed him being closer almost immediately. Everything about him was so alive, that thrumming pulse of his heart and everything so close. Sure most people it would just make her hungry, especially after a day like the past one. But with him it just hurt. Anna had never been good at not going after something that she wanted.

It was a bitter thing to think about, but she shrugged and laughed it off. "Yeah maybe. Though I don't think anyone will be messing with you any time soon." she mused easily. There was a light tone to her voice but it was true in her mind. Of the people that knew them, it would be adverse for any of their health to mess with someone she cared for.
