Left to Die

Fire Burning

I looked up at Elijah with a blurry vision, the words running through my mind over and over again. Witch, I can't be. My father, he was meant to have died nine years ago and yet he was alive all this time. I needed to see him again, even though he died i still have those memories of him, i just needed them back, to see him one more time.

"Elijah, compel me to remember again. I need to see his face one last time" I said desperately, Elijah looked down at me with a sad look in his eyes, which left me confused. I stood up from the cold snowy ground floor to latch on to Elijah's arm "'lijah please, i need to know what happened"

"Even if i wanted to, i can't" Elijah said, handing me up as i become unsteady, bring us close.

"Is it that you can't or you won't" I said bitterly, the trust between us was broken and i felt betrayed that he compelled me. I always hated the idea of someone controlling you like it was an everyday chore, seeping into the mind and playing with it like a violin. Elijah looked down at me in sadness but quickly replaced himself with a solemn look

"I can't Caroline, you have fully transformed into a witch making you impervious to compulsion now, yet the old compulsion still stays" Elijah said, his brown orbs looking down into a blue sea

"but i don't want to be a witch, this power is so consuming and you see that i can't control it" I said to him, tears surfacing

"That's because the massive amount of power was sudden and not gradually put inside you, you just need to get used to it and learn to master its gifts" Elijah reassured me

"I was born a powerful witch and then that power got taken and now it's back inside me, and my parents knew about it all along. Were they ever going to tell me or were they just going to keep it a secret until the time came and why seal it in the first place, this is all so confusing and it makes no sense" I started to ramble

"Caroline, William and Elizabeth weren't your real parents. William didn't explain anything to me only to you and after that everything happen so quick, he stabbed you with the dagger and you couldn't control it and you crushed him" Elijah said slowly, to get the information into me without going to far and making me so emotion i lost control again

"They weren't my real parents" I said softly, not believing a single word. Everything was so messed up, my life did a full turn straight to crazy and beyond.

After a while we started to head back towards the estate, from the outside it looked beautiful in the pure white snow. The white covered the roofs and the windows gave off a light blue tint with the frost, the clouds with beams of godly light flowing in through spots in the cloud made the mansion look warm and cosy yet very beautiful

Elijah opened the front door for me, i murmured my thanks walking in. I shook the snow of the bottom of my boots and took my fur coat and gloves of giving them to the nearby servant. I looked around the house that was filled with rugs and paintings, it had a cosy and warm feel to yet and it made me feel uneasy. I missed the home i grew up in, the one were Elijah would chase we down the hall playing tag, he could catch me very easily with his vampire senses but i didn't know that at that time.

He told me when i reached the age of 10, i had been with him for around three years by then and I trusted him completely, i trusted him so much that i knew he wouldn't hurt me. Even now i trust him, he could betray me and i wouldn't mind. He has done so much for me that it wouldn't matter if he left me because i owe him my life and i decided a long time ago that he could do what he wants me.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when a whooshing sound filled my ears and i was being pulled into a bone cracking hug, dark brown hair blocking my vision.
