A Hunter Living With Her Hunted (1)

Ariana's POV

I walked up to the house my Mother had given me the address for my uncle Zach. This was before the accident and before everything happened, she wanted me to find someone to care for me if anything happened and now I have. 

My Father, well I never met him, I know his name John Gilbert but he left my Mother before I was born seen as she was an affair. He is supposedly from in this town as well but his brother Greyson lives here with his wife Miranda. My mother Amanda Salvatore died a week ago from an animal attack. I stayed with a family friend for a week so I could attend the funeral but now I was finding my uncle, then I'd find my Father if he still lived here. 

I knocked on the door and waited. Please be the right house. A man a few years older than me answered the door. 

"Hello?" He questioned. 

"Hi, I'm looking for Zach Salvatore," I smiled. 

"Yeah, he's here, why?" He asked. 

"I'm Ariana Gilbert- Salvatore, Zach is now my legal guardian," I stated. 

"I didn't know he had any other family other than us," He shrugged. 

"I didn't know he had any other family other than me, my Mother was his sister," I sighed. 

"My Father is his brother, come in, I'm Damon," He stated. 

"It's nice to meet you," I smiled. The house was old and large. 

"What has brought you to find Zach?" He asked. 

"My Mother was killed by an animal attack, so I have no one to take care of me and Zach is my only family, other than my Father but I need to find him first," I shrugged. 

"Damon, who's this?" A boy around my age asked. 

"Ariana Gilbert-Salvatore," i smiled putting my hand out for him to shake. 

"I'm Stefan Salvatore, Damon's brother," He said raising an eyebrow and taking my hand. 

"I'm Zach's neice presumably your cousin," I chuckled. 

"So I take it your here to see Zach?" He asked. 

"Um... Yeah is he here?" I questioned. 

"I'm sorry Ariana but Zach died recently," Stefan stated. 

"Oh, I'm... urgh sorry for your loss, I'll just go see if my other uncle still lives in town if not I'll track down my Dad there's only a million places he could be," I chuckled. 

"You can stay here until you find your Dad or uncle, we are family after all," Stefan smiled. 

"No, I don't want to intrude, I'll see if my Uncle's still here, it'd be real bad luck if he wasn't," I shrugged. 

"No I insist Ariana, grab your stuff and you can have a room," He smiled. 

"Thank you, I won't stay long I promise," I smiled back leaving the house and grabbing my bags from the taxi that was still waiting. I paid the driver and he drove away. 

"I'm back," I chuckled.

"I'll show you to your room," Damon sighed. 

I followed him up the stairs and then into a room. 

"Thank you," I smiled. 

"If you want to have a shower the bathroom's through there," He stated. 

"Okay thank you," I smiled once again. 

He left me alone whilst I grabbed everything I needed for a shower. I went into the bathroom before quickly showering and preparing for my plan. I knew everything, I wasn't the niave girl everyone thought I was.
