Allure of Darkness: TVD [2]✓

Epilogue

The Salvatore family lasted a year in Italy before the questions about how quickly the twins were growing seemed to be all people in town could talk about. So when the twins finally stopped growing after the first year, they relocated to England. Now looking thirteen years old, they were rushing around their house trying to get ready for their first day of real school.

Jordyn Salvatore stood in front of her large closet going through all the different options she had to wear on her first day of eighth grade. Her long blonde curls bounced as she walked from the closet to the mirror. She heard a soft knock on her door and it opened to reveal her mother.

"Mom! How does this look."

"Not first day, worthy. Do you want me to take a look?"

"Yes! Please!" her mom walked over to her closet and started going through it, she pulled out a dress and a pair of boots.

"Here! Try this." her mother sat down on the edge of the bed while she changed out of her pajamas and got dressed.

"This is perfect!! Mom, you're the best. What are you going to wear today?"

"You father picked out a dress for me to wear, I just wanted to check on you."

"Are you nervous? It's your first day too after all. Teaching High School level english. Alaric told me he was so excited for you!" Jordyn said sitting next to her mother.

"I'm a bit nervous. I don't look much older than them. Though I'm twenty-one, I look seventeen." Gemma told her honestly.

"I bet you will be everyones favorite teacher."

"Thank you, sweetie. I'm gonna go check on your brother." the mother and daughter hugged each other tightly before she left the room.

Jaxson Salvatore sat at his desk, already dressed and ready to go. He was just surfing the internet when he heard a knock on his door.

"Come in, mom." Jaxson said turning his chair towards the door, to see his mother still in her pajamas.

"Just checking on you. You all ready."

"Yes, mom. I am."

"Now, remember no powers. No matter if someone.."

"Pisses me off, got it." Gemma and Stefan both agreed that they didn't really care that their children used curse words as long as they weren't disrespectful or in-front of people that really cared.

"Good. Love you."

"Love you too, mom."

Gemma Salvatore walked from Jaxson's room and back to hers;

"They don't need me anymore. They're turning into grown-ups." Gemma whined loudly to her husband, Stefan.

"They will always need you, you're there mother."

"You know, I walked in on them talking about being excited to turn eighteen so they can trigger their re-birth." Gemma confessed, "we should've made it twenty-one."

"We agreed on eighteen. You know they could always change their minds."

"Jax's said it was because they wanted to be with us forever."

"Hey it'll be okay. We have technically, seventeen years, but supernaturally; five years... it'll be fine. They will be fine. They're strong, they are progressing Angel wise a lot quicker than you. But they're going to be okay." Gemma nodded to her husband and she began to get ready, "what age do you have first?" Stefan asked Gemma, she looked over at him.

"Seventeen year olds, so junior year.. super, excited!" Gemma said, she sat at the vanity and started to curl her short hair and then did her makeup.

"Come on, mom!" Jordyn yelled from outside the door.

"Yeah, mom! We need to go!"

"I think they're excited." Stefan said.

"How do I look?"

"Honestly, if you were my teacher. I wouldn't be able to concentrate.." Stefan confessed pulling his wife into his body, "I love you."

"I love you too." the married couple left their bedroom and went into the foyer of their home, where their children were waiting. They went outside and got into their car, "so do I need to go over our story again?"

"You're our older sister, who got custody of us after our parents died. Because if we were human, you guys would've had us at age eight." Jordyn said very matter of factly.

"Perfect." Gemma smiled back at her kids, "I wish we didn't have to do that, but it's for our own safety." the twins nodded.

"Your mom and I love you very much, we are doing this to protect you."

"We know, dad. We love you too." Jaxson said, "I'm super excited! Aren't you Jor?"

"Yeah, I really am. Plus mom, will be just next door!" the family pulled up to the school building that held the middle school aged children, "we don't need you to walk us. We are old enough. We will see you after school."

"Yeah, we'll come to your classroom!" Gemma gave each of her children a hug when her and Stefan got out of the car.

"I guess, they're all grown up." Stefan said, he handed Gemma her, "you all ready?"

"Yes! I am. Have a good day at work, I will see you at four?"

"Yes, you will! I love you. Good luck." the couple kissed and Gemma walked towards the front door of the high school. Teenagers surrounded the school as she walked inside, she was overwhelmed instantly. It was a lot different than her high school back in Mystic Falls.

"You're looking a bit lost, sweetheart. What room are you looking for?" a teenager came over to her with his group of friends, he took in Gemma's appearance and smirked.

"Mrs. Salvatore's english room." she decided to play along.

"Oh, American. Hot. Well, follow us. The bells rang already, so we better get going." the boy said taking, "I'm James. So what brings you here?"

"Gemma, and my family needed a fresh start."

"Ah, well welcome. You'll like it here." they walked into a classroom, "Mrs. Salvatore is new she is probably lost. Why don't we find a seat." Gemma closed the classroom door behind them, and walked over to the blackboard and wrote her name; Mrs. Salvatore.

"Hello, I'm Mrs. Salvatore and welcome to Advanced English Literature. James please find a seat."
