Solitude [On Hold]

Chapter 6

Dear diary,

They've damaged me, I know who I am, I now know, everyone wishes I hadn't...they know...they know...

______

I stand there shocked, not being able to move a muscle. How did he know who I was? How did he know I was her? It was meant to be a secret, it was meant to be kept from everyone other than the closest people to me.

"Tess?"

I turn around and place a hand over my heart. Damon gives me a confused look and I look down avoiding his gaze. He can figure me out by just looking at me, I don't want him to notice there is something wrong with me. It's super dark, but he's a vampire, his sight is almost impenetrable.

"There's something wrong. What is it? The door was open, are you hurt?" he asked almost sounding sincere.

"I must've left it open. I-I was sleeping so I was just startled. I'm hungry. I'll be downstairs."

I tried to walk past him but his hand wrapped around my wrist. He didn't say anything so I just snatched my wrist off his grasp and walked down the stairs. It was still dark so when I tried to step on my next step I missed it and I went tumbling down.

My head came in contact with the hard steps and so did my body. Pain now succumbed my whole body and all I could do was yell in pain, but it didn't last for long, not even a few seconds, because Damon grabbed me and held me from falling.

"Tessa? Can you hear me?" I was seeing just blurry. "Damn."

Damon walked down the remaining steps and laid me down on the couch. He bit into his wrist and fed me his blood. I took the metallic drink until he removed his wrist from my lips and I slowly started gaining my consciousness back. I had never fallen before. My bones ached, but I was glad I hadn't broken any, Damon's blood would heal me either way.

"Sorry..." I said in a whisper.

He looked at me and have me a sly smile. "I guess I can't leave you alone for even just a second."
I nodded and sat up from my laying position. "Damon, I need to leave. I need to leave town."

"What? You can't."

"Damon, the person who took me knows who I am, how they know is totally unclear to me. If they get to me, they will use me."

He stares at me with a confused gaze and I flick my hand at a vase. It flies off the table and crashes against the wall. I still know how to use my powers. Damon observes the vase and then turns to me. He knows who I am, he knows what I'm capable of, but I do not use my powers to hurt others or use them against others just how I hadn't used them with those brothers. Damon walks to me, but then falls to the floor grabbing his head and yelling in pain. I focus my gaze on him and on his head. I had to make an exception this time.

"I'm sorry Damon, I can't have you interrupting my leave."

I wait until he passes out, and I walk out the mansion. My car has been destroyed and I only have Damon's car as an option. I walk back inside and grab Damon's keys from his jackets' pockets. I take one more look at Damon before walking out the Salvatore Boarding Home.

 (5 years later)

"Friendsgiving Dinner, huh? And what in the world might that be?"

"It was organized by the blond one, it could mean anything, miss."

I look to the college dorms from my car and sigh. "Perfect."

I get out of the car, and Geo copies my movements. We walk up the steps into the building and up to the dorms, everything's been taken care of, and then we find ourselves outside their dorm, and I can instantly get a vibe off everyone in the home, just like I had suspected, Bonnie was gone and not near them. I knocked on the door and was met by a smiling Caroline whose smile faltered while mine altered.

"Hello Caroline," I say walking forward. She pushes herself back and shakes her head.

"Thessalie," I hear a familiar voice say.

"Elena, good to see you."

Geo walks up next to me and smiles at them. We are now inside while everyone attending the dinner stands in front of us, some with confused looks and other with knowing looks. I turn to Geo and wave him off. He bows slightly and turns on his heel walking outside and closing the door after him.

"I'm sorry to intrude, but I just couldn't think of a better day to show my face around here," I say observing them.

"But you were gone, you can't possibly be-"

"Elena, I didn't die, I just simply left," I say, "I noticed Jeremy nor Matt were here, I am guessing they are dealing with...the Tripp situation?"

Elena's lips part slightly and I laugh slightly. She, up to now, had no idea that I had been keeping track on all of them, all the deaths and resurrections, betrayals and trustees. My plan worked perfectly and it would've kept working for many years to come, yet I had to reveal myself soon for the upcoming events that would take place. Only I, Thessalie Forstere Gilbert, have had the ability to foresee the future in full fragments, I will not be here to rewrite their futures, but to protect them. Thre shouldn't be any interruptions with their futures, the Mikaelson's are no longer a threat to them, haven't been for a very long time, but their lines are still on the line. 

"What are you doing back?" Tyler asked.

I looked at him and gave a smile. I looked over at Josette and a slit my eyes slightly, but opened them up again when she looked down. "I heard an old friend of mine has been creating chaos upon you. All you had to do was merge your powers with him Josette, or maybe you have, but I don't really care."

Elena steps forward and points a finger accusingly at me while asking, "You're on Kai's side?"

"Malachai? Of course not, nor am I on your side, I simply came back to see you. I don't have much time here, my husband expects me back soon," I reply watching their confused faces.

Caroline scrunches her face at the mention of my husband and I laugh silently. "Husband? You're married? The guy that was with you-"

"Is not my husband. He is my butler, or protector. He was contracted by my husband to protect and attend me when needed or asked to. My husband is back at home in Washington, but by now I am sure he is across the world as he works. I am expected to be back before he is," I respond as a knock comes through the door.

I turn to it and open it and am met with the familiar face of Geo. "Miss, it is time to go. I have arranged for your stay as you asked. Your home would not be furnished until tomorrow."

I nod and turn to the group. "I do hope Malachai will soon show again, I have much to speak to him about. Josette, Olivia, and Luke, I also hope that you three enjoy your stay and your sudden meeting. It is spectacular how small this world is to find your siblings. Now if you'll excuse me, I have business to attend to. Enjoy your night."

I turn and walk out the door with Geo dismissing himself, closing the door, and following steadily behind me. We walk out the college dorms and I turn to Geo who has stopped as well. He sure was the closest person to me who I was comfortable with. He had to be safe, even more than myself. 

"I would like to make sure you are safe, you are a vampire, but you can still perish. Please be careful. I would also like for you to send Mark a message on my behalf stating he sould arrive here instead of Washington, please."

Geo bows his head and says, "yes, Miss Forstere."

I love this chapter, my favorite so far.

Sorry I've neglected my account, something huge went down and it's not pretty. 

But I just don't care now. Eh.

Enjoy!
