Chapter 4 - Masquerade

Its had been a few weeks, that Marley basically disappeared in her own home for research about Elijah Mikaelson. Her father had helped her, even Faye came by. But they didn’t find much about this man, just that he had a large family. Marley sighed. “Why isn’t much information about him?”

“Oh, I don’t know, why don’t we just ask him?” Magnus asked back. “Well, we can’t.” He sighed.

“Thanks, dad.” Marley glanced at him. “We will just take a break, cause we can go on like this.”

Magnus waved with his hand and a drink appeared. “I agree.” Then, he took a sip.

Then, Faye looked at her mother. “Why don’t you check in with the others?”

“I probably should?” Marley replied, sheepishly.

“Yes.” Faye nodded.

For the first time in weeks, Marley looked at her phone and saw that there were texts and calls from, bonnie, Elena and Damon, some were of Stefan, cause Damon was mad. “Whoops.” Marley muttered.

Just then, Chelsea walked towards them. “Granny, did something happen?”

Marley looked at her. “No, sweetie, just go play and let us adults do the looking, okay?”

“Okay.” Chelsea nodded as then she walked away.

Then, Faye looked at her mother. “Mama, she’s gonna know that we didn’t find much information about Elijah Mikaelson.”

“I know.” Marley nodded.

“Okay, good to know.” Faye told her.

Then, Magnus looked at Marley. “Didn’t you have texts?” He gestured at her phone.

“Yes, I probably should check on my friends.” Marley replied to her father.

“Yes, you should.” Magnus nodded.

“Yeah.” Marley looked sheepishly as then she walked away.

Marley arrived in another room as she called Damon first, cause he’s mad. Damon answered the phone. “Damon?! I’m so, so sorry.” She told him. “I was busy with research as I had said and I didn’t find much.” She sighed.

“So, friends aren’t that much important?” Damon scoffed.

“They are important.” Marley argued back.

“Then, why didn’t you say something?” Damon asked, feeling hurt.

Marley sighed. “I didn't mean for this to happen. I was just to busy with my research that I forgot you all, even to go to school.” She told him.

“You could have said something.” Damon was holding into the hurt.

“Sorry, Damon, I just…” Marley was lost for words.

“What?!” Damon exclaimed.

“Meet me at my house and I will tell you everything, but only to you cause I have hurt you to most and you need to good explanation from me.” Marley replied to him.

“Alright.” Damon comment. “I will come shortly.”

“Okay.” Marley told him as then they hung up.

Shortly after that, Damon arrived at Marley’s house and Marley let him in. “What is it that you wanted to tell me?” Damon asked to her.

Marley sighed. “Its better if I show her to you.”

“Her?” Damon frowned.

“Yes.” Marley nodded. “Now, if you follow me.” Then, she walked out of the room as Damon followed her.
