A Kind Girl

Enzo

Enzo's pov

I feel something soft under me. I am too scared to open my eyes and find a new torture method.

I smell blood next to me. I open my eyes and see a different room then usually. And a person I hate. He hands me a few bloodbags. I drink it before this dream disappear. I feel my strength get stronger. None of the blood had vervain in them.

"Damon?"

"I am so sorry. Please...please let me explain." I just nod for him to continue.

"After we tried to escape, the building came down. I lost you. I tried to find you, but the fire was everywhere...I turn my humanity off. I found my humanity again 13 years ago. Yesterday I was tortured by some werewolves and it brought back those memories and I wanted closure so I went back. Me and Elijah found you. We burned down the whole operation. I...I should have found you sooner. I thought you were dead. But you are free now."

Freedom...this sounds to crazy to be true. I don't know what to say or feel.

"Come on. I will show you the bathroom and get you some new clothes." I just followed him. Everything looks different from what I am used to. He showed me the bathroom and how everything works. He gave me a new toothbrush and clothes. He gave me some privacy. I sat on the shower floor and just cried. I am free. No more torturing. No more vervain.

I also thought Damon died. Or maybe I hoped he was died. I hate him for leaving me there. What now? I don't even know what year it is.

I found a scissor in the bathroom drawer. And cut my hair quite shorter. I got dress in some comfortable pants and a white top.

I walked out of the room in search of Damon. I go through some hallway and look at some pictures of Damon with some young girl. He looks happy. Did he have a daughter? And who was Elijah? I finally found him on a couch. I awkwardly joined him. There was ton of space between us.

"What year is it? Who is the kid in the pictures? Who's Elijah?"

Damon took a deep breath before he started talking,"2009. The kid is Elisabeth Salvatore. I adopted her when I found her abandoned in the woods when she was 5. She is the reason I turned my humanity on. Elijah is...it is complicated...he's Ellie's...soulmate."

I laughed at his face,"That looks like a bitter pill to swallow. The universe probably punished you by giving a daughter." He gave me a small smile, his face lightning up when talking about her.

"She truly is the best. She was very much an anti-social person. So that helped, I did not have to scare people away...I do regret not going back earlier. I know you might hate me. You can leave if you want. Elijah got one of his witches to make you a daylight ring. You will have one by tonight. Ellie went out and I think she is buying you some clothes, so that I can explain everything to you."

I stayed quiet for a bit, thinking. As much as I am mad at him, I want to stay. I don't know if we can go back to the relationship we had. It is not like I have anywhere else to go.

"I think I will stay for a while. I need sometime to adapt to the new world."

Damon then started to give a brief history of what I missed. And then he showed me around the house. Explaining every now and then about some objects.

A few hours had passed and we heard sounds coming from the living room. There stood a girl surrounded by shopping bags and a man dressed in a suit.

"Hi. I am Elisabeth or Ellie. Nice to finally meet you,Enzo." Before I knew it, I am trapped in a hug. It took a few seconds to melt in the hug. I hadn't gotten a hug in a while. "This is Elijah..he is...he helped get you out."

I shook his hand and said,"Thank you. It is nice meeting you guys."

Before Elijah had to leave, he gave me a ring. He left beacuse of an emergency. Something to do with an Ella or Elna or something.

Damon left to get some food. It was me and his daughter. It is weird he has a child.

"Do you hate my dad?"

I was not expecting that question." I don't know. I might be more mad at him. Rather wished he was dead then alive and him leaving me there."

"Well, do you want to put vervain in his shampoo and his room?"

"Sure, kiddo." We spend some time trying to prank Damon. Come on, he deserves it.

When Damon came back, we ate dinner and watched some Disney movies. We finally went to bed late at night. Everyone a bit overwhelmed and tired of the days events.

I laid on the bed and finally after years had a good night of sleep.
