Chapter Thirty - Three

Edited

I feel icky. I express my feelings into the pillow, letting out a hoarse groan. "Jenna!"

    "Uh..." someone trails off, making my flip over to see who's standing at the door. Jeremy gives a pained look. "She's not here..."

    "What?" I growl out, letting out another cough.

    "She got called in for work today."

    "You're kidding," I groan out. "Jeremy? I'm dying."

    "You want some soup?"

    "I was thinking medication, but that'll work too." I give a lazy grin as he lets out a huff of annoyance. He leaves, making me grin.

"Gabby!" Elena calla out from who knows where. I let out a small groan, but say nothing anyway. "Gabby!"

"No!" I try to tell back, only for some weird squeal to come out instead. Ew. I hear multiple footsteps come up the stairs, making me groan in annoyance. Someone else is here too.

Elena enters with Bonnie right behind her. I let out a cough as they slowly approach me. "What?" I groan out, leaning my head back against my pillow.

"We need to talk," Elena answers, raising a brow at me. "How did you get sick?"

"How does anyone get sick?" I retort, rolling my eyes. "What are we supposed to be talking about?"

Bonnie opens the bag before pulling out the white oval stone. My brow raised at the moonstone. Of course. "We need to know what to do with it," Elena answers.

"Right now, it's what's binding the sun and moon curse," Bonnie explains.

"You came here to tell us what we already know?" I snap, "wooow, so helpful and necessary."

Bonnie looks over at me, fighting a glare. "You don't sound well," she starts, making me roll my eyes, "Or look well. You look like a sick dog. Your skin is also pale. Gosh that—"

"Wow I'm glad you found out before I could," I retort. "I don't need to head this, please leave." They don't move. "I'll barf on you," I threaten.

"You're not that type of sick," Bonnie retorts with a small smug smirk. I roll my eyes. "Besides, you're going to hear it anyway." I groan in annoyance as they continue the conversation. "Anyway. I can remove the power from the stone and make it useless."

"According to Katherine, Klaus becomes vengeful," Elena counters, "he's not going to be good with this."

"Maybe. If he finds out.

"Bonnie, can't this wait?" Elena asks. "Stefan is stuck with Katherine in the tomb. We've gotta get him out."

"Agreeing with Elena but for a different reason,"
I chime.

"Stefan wants me to focus on this!" Bonnie snaps ignoring my comment.

"Well don't listen to him. He thinks he's protecting me, but he's wrong," Elena says.

"I'm taking Stefan's side on this one."

"Agreeing with Bonnie because the world doesn't revolve around your love life, Elena," I snap hoarsely.

Elena glares at me, making me let out a small huff. "Sorry, I didn't mean to snap. I'm kind of in a grouchy mood." I say. Then as if on cue I start coughing. I bring my arm up to block the cough.

    "Just..." I start before letting out another cough, "figure it out, alright? It shouldn't be too hard to figure it out without being in my room."
