Jenna Summers was in transition.

Despite the fact that they had done everything that Klaus had asked, Jenna had still been dragged into this.

She was about to become the Vampire Sacrifice for the ritual.

Just the thought had Buffy throwing up again, though to be fair, she was still suffering from the whole Damon shoving blood into her system thing.


Jenna moaned in agony as she started rubbing her head. Her skull was pounding loudly and her head literally felt like it was screaming, her ears were ringing and her gums ached painfully.

It almost felt like she had a hundred wisdom teeth trying to tear through her gums and break free.

"What's wrong with me?"

Wiping her mouth, Buffy stumbled back over to Jenna, quickly crouching down by her side and stroking her back softly "Shh." She whispered soothingly as Jenna groaned in her arms.

Clearly a mixture of panic and pure utter agony.

She was in transition now, her entire body was going to start screaming soon for blood. Pushing her to turn. Which meant the pain was only going to get worse until she tasted human blood for the first time.

Yet no matter what decision Jenna made she would be signing her own death sentence.

If she didn't transition, she would die.

If she did, Klaus would kill her.

Jenna was pinned down by a double-edged sword, leading to the same result no matter which way she turned.


For the first time in a long time, Buffy had no idea what to do.


Elena who was pacing back and forth in a panic glanced down at Jenna with a heartbroken expression.

This couldn't be happening.

Why would Klaus use her as the vampire when he had Katherine?

"Do you remember what happened?"


"You called me." Jenna told her as she leaned into Buffy's side. Slowly, it was all starting to come back to her. Everything clicked in an instant.

It hadn't been Elena.

It had been the other one, Katherine.

"You were so scared. Oh, ah, I should have realized that it wasn't you."

"Katherine." Buffy hissed in realization, anger filling every nerve in her body. She knew she should have killed Katherine the second she showed her face in this town.

"She threw you at Klaus, to save her own ass. Oh, I'm gonna kill that bitch." Buffy muttered angrily, rage pulsing through her body.

However, despite her desire to start tearing everything apart, Buffy forced herself to take a deep breath, trying to control her anger. She couldn't worry about other than Elena and Jenna right now.

They all needed to remain calm.

Katherine could be a problem for tomorrow.

Inhaling tightly, Buffy focused back on Jenna "What happened next?"

"The second I walked out of the house, someone grabbed me. A vampire."

"It was Klaus." Elena told her.

Jenna nodded in confirmation "He made me drink his blood. And I don't...I don't remember anything after that. Where are we? What happened?" 


As Jenna began shaking, her emotions clearly heightened and all over the place, Buffy wrapped an arm around her, continuing to rub her back softly as she attempted to keep her from freaking out "Look, we're at the Quarry."

"Why don't I remember anything?" 

Buffy hesitated, the idea of having to explain to Jenna what had been done to her was horrifying. But she didn't have a choice "Jenna, do you remember when we were going through all that long boring stuff bout vampires? Do you remember how someone can become a vampire?"

Jenna nodded "Yeah, if you die with vampire blood in your system, it's...oh, god. He killed me."

Pushing the hair out of the eldest Summers woman's face Buffy quickly crouched in front of her, cupping her face in her hands. She wouldn't let this happen to Jenna. She didn't care what she had to do to get Klaus to let her go.

She would make a damn deal with the devil to make sure Jenna wasn't sacrificed.

"Listen to me," Buffy whispered as she squeezed Jenna's tear-stained cheeks "I'm gonna find a way to get you out of this."

"I'm a vampire?"
