"You told her. I thought we said we would never tell her" Stefan argued.
I laugh to myself. "Our daughter is curious. She deserves the truth. Don't you think we have lied to her enough already? I had to go years and years pretending that you were dead or act like you were dead so she wouldn't be so curious. So she would go on with her life and live a normal life. Yet she marries your enemy and drags her down. I knew that man wasn't any good. You should've killed him years ago!".
He scoffs. "You don't think I didn't try. I tried. That fucker slipped through my hands over and over. But once I saw how she loved him, I couldn't hurt her. She lost me and I didn't want her to grieve another person. But now I regret it".
I laugh. "You think..?".
"Now she knows, it's done. Now we wait and hope that our daughter won't go and pretend we don't exist or even better... see us as monsters" I say as I go to grab a glass of wine.
"What happened to us?" He asks.
I sigh. "Life".

He drives me back to the house. I could've went and gotten a hotel or something but I should at least show my face to my mother before I leave again.
The best I can do right now.
As we sit in the car, it was silent as usual. I was still thinking about that kiss. What he said about him devouring me later.
My mind was curious, I won't lie. But could I handle it? Especially it being him.
We get back to the house as it wasn't too far from the park and I wanted to speak but I couldn't. And I knew he felt the same way.
I get out of the car and I head into the house. I walk in and I hear some chatter. I walk to the kitchen and I see my mother with my father.
Their heads turn to me. I nod. "I'm ready to talk".
She smiles and I walk over. I sit down next to my father.
"This is a lot for me to take in. But realizing now, this is what you both know. You were both trained to be and what you were born to be. I can't hate you for it. But I don't know if I can be what you both are.. or at least for you mom.. what you used to be" I confess.
