Throughout The Vampire Diaries Series

Season One

File:JeremyAnna.jpg

Anna tries to prove the existence of vampires to Jeremy.

While researching his history paper in the library, Jeremy meets Anna after she pushes some books on him. She helps him with his research due to the fact that she knows the library well. They begin a friendly debate about the existence of vampires, and Anna does extensive research of her own to prove their existence to Jeremy. They start hanging out, but Jeremy warns her that he's on the rebound from Vicki.

Jeremy starts avoiding Anna, telling Damon that she can be weird. Intent on finding out who Anna is, Damon encourages Jeremy to meet up with her, which he does, and Damon recognises her as Pearl's daughter. Jeremy invites Anna to Duke's party in the woods, and she agrees to do so for convenience's sake. At the party, Jeremy asks Anna to be his girlfriend, but she tells him that she's leaving town. Jeremy kisses Anna, but sees her eyes change. Before he can ask her about it, Ben, the guy who Anna turned so he could help her get her mother back, knocks him unconscious. Anna tells Ben that he didn't have to hit Jeremy so hard- which shows that she cares about him. She confronts Elena in the tomb and concedes that she was ready to use Jeremy's blood to resurrect her mother, but can settle for Elena's.

Anna later arrives at Jeremy's house, revealing that her plans changed. While preparing dinner, Jeremy purposely cuts his hand to prove that Anna's a vampire, and encourages her to bite him. She gives in and drinks from him, but soon flees, unable to control herself.

She appears in his room, telling him that she could have, and should have, killed him. He admits that he wants to become a vampire. Anna says that there are three reasons to turn someone (for a slave, revenge or love) and that he doesn't fit any of the categories. She eventually gives in and agrees to turn him, but he backs out of it once Vicki's body is found and she's heartbroken to realise that he only wanted to become a vampire because he thought Vicki was one. He tries to apologise, but she disappears. When Anna confronts him for using her, he tells her he knows that she only befriended him for his blood. They call it even and resume their friendship. Soon after, they have sex for the first time.

Pearl forces Anna to leave with her, so Anna bids goodbye to a sleeping Jeremy. Anna later visits Jeremy, informing him that John killed her mother, and he comforts her. She makes the decision to leave town and asks Jeremy to come with her, offering to turn him into a vampire. He refuses her, and she leaves behind a vial of her blood in case he changes his mind.

Anna visits Jeremy on Founder's Day to warn him that the tomb vampires are after the founding families, including Jeremy. However, the device is activated and the deputies drag Anna away, despite Jeremy's protests.

Damon tells Jeremy that he saw Anna die and expresses how he wanted to help her but couldn't due to the pain inflicted by the device. He offers to erase Jeremy's memories of her, like he did after Vicki's death, but he refuses because he doesn't want there to be a hole without knowing why it's there. He then takes Anna's blood and overdoses on Elena's pills.

Jeremy and Anna realize they can touch each other.

Jeremy asks Anna for information about Mikael. However, she tells him that she doesn't want to help Damon and Katherine, which leads to Damon hurting Jeremy. Anna gives in and tells Jeremy where they can find Mikael.

Jeremy kisses Anna.

Anna and Jeremy are in the town square listening to Tobias Fell give a speech and she jokes about how the founders stole from the vampires. They then hold hands as they watch. When Elena asks Jeremy to try and reach Lexi on the Other Side, Anna tells him that not all supernatural spirits go there as that some of them find peace. Elena asks if Anna is there with them, but Anna told Jeremy to tell that her she wasn't because she would not like it. Later, in the Mystic Grill bathroom, Anna and Jeremy share a kiss. Unknown to them, Bonnie has cast an unveiling spell and they are caught by Elena who yells at them for what they've done.

JANNA

I'm not gonna let you be alone

At the Illumination Night, Anna and Jeremy meet up. Caroline calls Jeremy and accuses Anna of stealing the necklace. Jeremy defends her and says that she would never take it. Elena shows up and also accuses Anna of taking the necklace. Jeremy continues to defend her and tells Elena he's always loved Anna and she's always been the one. Elena says he can't love a ghost for the rest of his life. Anna appears with the necklace and Elena leaves. Anna apologises to Jeremy for taking it and tells him that she was scared to be alone on the Other Side and wanted more time to find her mother. Jeremy tells Anna they can still see each other but Anna says they shouldn't. Jeremy tries to talk to Bonnie, but she doesn't give him a chance to explain because she doesn't think he deserves the opportunity to tell her.

Trivia

  • Jeremy discovered what Anna was after gradual suspicion and research in a similar manner to how Elena discovered what Stefan was.
  • Jeremy and Anna actually fell in love twice; when Anna was a vampire and after she became a ghost.
    • During his time interacting with her while she was a ghost, he cheated on Bonnie with Anna, which suggests that their strong bond never faded.
  • While Jeremy wanted to be a vampire in order to be with Vicki forever (before he realized she was dead), Jeremy wanted to turn into a vampire and shut off his emotions after he discovered Anna's death.
