Making Her Return ||COMPLETED||

3. Breaking lies

{Flashback}

Dacia Lupu was walking around the mansion where Vlad had kept her for years away from the Lupu clan. She had heard rumors that her son had become alpha and even had a family of his own. Rumors were that Penelope had become extremely cautious around Emil's newborn daughter. One day, she received some horrible news.

-"Dacia..."- began Vlad who had come to inform her personally. "Emil...Emil's been killed with a silver bullet"

Dacia's eyes grew wide opened.

-"...What..."- she stopped on her tracks and turned to face Vlad with widened eyes.

She quickly took him by the collar and looked directly into his eyes.

-"What about his child?"- asked Dacia who was now worried that the poor child might've suffered the same fate as all of her nephews and nieces.

Vlad simply looked at her with saddened eyes and shook his head. He really didn't know what had happened to the girl or her mother. Dacia's hands slowly dropped from his collar and tears began running down her face while she fell on her knees. Everything was taken from her...Vlad simply averted his gaze and stayed there in silence.

{Present}

Daciana and Dacia both stood there in the room staring at each other. The girl had called her grandma and that had made her go suspicious. Silviu told everyone to leave except Sorin and himself. Sorin felt that he needed to stay there, he simply had to. Dacia looked at the girl and noticed that she also had mismatched eyes like herself. Reddish hair just like her own and probably even wolf genes. She could smell the wolf stench emanating from her. Dacia frowned and walked towards the girl and teared off one of Daciana's sleeves. Her eyes grew wide as she noticed that she also had the same birthmark on her deltoid, but it was on the opposite arm.

Dacia took a step back. It almost felt like if she were looking at a younger version of herself, but this one was not as wild as she used to be back at her time. She never found out if Penelope had other kids of her own or not and since she had lost all information regarding Emil's child, it was a little hard for her to believe that this girl was his. She could've been Penelope's real granddaughter and ended up looking like her to torment her or so...But the fact that the girl had called her grandma kept bugging her.

-"What's your name?"- asked Dacia.

Daciana blinked a couple of times. She still couldn't move after Dacia teared off her sleeve.

-"Da-Da...Daciana"- she finally answered.

Dacia looked at her shocked. Not only did she have similar physical traits, but even a similar name to hers. Dacia took her by the wrist and forced her to sit down. Then, she sat right across her.

-"This is insane...You, wolf boy. Confirm me her name"- said Dacia.

Silviu went stiff. For some reason even their personalities seemed to be just a little bit similar.

-"Daciana Lupu"- said Silviu.

Dacia glanced at Silviu. For some reason even he reminded her of her past.

-"What about you? What do I call you?"-asked Dacia.

-"Silviu Bucur"-he answered.

-"This is driving me crazy"-she said while running her hand down her face and then laid her head on the table and placed both hands on the sides of her head. "Don't tell me...You're her guardian...?"

-"I-I...Yes"-

-"...And...you two...you two are mates? Did...did you imprint on each other?"-

-"What...No!"- said both Daciana and Silviu at the same time.

Dacia sighed in relief. For a moment she thought that it was a replica of her past. Even if his name was different, he was still a Bucur and was a guardian, which meant that he was probably taken away just like Dorin.

-"You're awfully quiet back there"- said Dacia while slowly rising her head and looking at Sorin who was behind Silviu. "As far as I know, you aren't a wolf or, are you a late shifter?"

Silviu tried not to laugh, but Sorin didn't even flinch at her words. Unconaciously, Sorin took out his necklace and held the small bottle tightly between her hands. Dacia stood up abruptly and walked towards Sorin.

-"What now? Are you trying to threaten me?"- said Dacia.

Sorin simply kept looking at her. She suddenly took a step back. His eyes kind of looked familiar.

{Flashback}

Dacia Lupu was still a wolf at the time. She was with Vlad in his coven and saw a little human boy living amongst vampires. He had blonde hair and blue eyes. His mother was quite sick and would be turned into a vampire to save her life. He had a sister, even if he didn't know about her, named Elizabeth.

{Present}

Dacia looked at him as if trying to figure out his identity. Sorin simply opened his hand and showed her the small bottle. Dacia's eyes grew wide opened. That little bottle contained her blood. Years ago, when Penelope murdered the vampires, the little boy had been forced to drink her blood and some of it was placed in a small bottle. Finally, her face softened as she placed one hand on one of his cheeks.

-"Sorin...?"-she said almost in a whisper.

Her voice was so soft that Silviu and Daciana couldn't believe that she was the same person that was speaking just moments ago. Sorin's warm skinned felt just like hers. Her lips began to tremble as she realized what had happened to the young boy from the Gheata clan.

-"What happened to you...?"- she said with a trembling voice.

-"I should be asking you the same thing..."- his voice was so deep now that it was as if Sorin was someone else too.

His eyes went cold and he simply moved Dacia's hand away from his cheek. All those years he had been carrying with guilt and now he found out that she was alive...well, she was just another vampire like himself.

-"Sorin?"- whispered Daciana as she watched the exchange between Dacia and Sorin.

-"Do you know how many years I've been living in hell, Dacia?"- said Sorin. "Do you know how much I blamed myself for what had happened to you?"

Lucian was just outside the room and was hearing Sorin's words. He casted his eyes down and bit his lower lip. His brother rarely talked about his past and now he had to find out like this...

-"...I know it was hard for you, Sorin. I never intended for all of that to happen"- said Dacia.

-"Does father know about this?"- said Sorin while closing his hands into fists.

-"Your father?"-

-"Vlad. Does he know that you're a vampire?"-

Daciana's eyes grew wide as she looked at Sorin. She knew he was pretending to be strong, but deep inside he was very angry and sad. If Dacia said Vlad knew...

-"He knows..."- said Dacia.

Daciana felt like her heart had suddenly stopped. Sorin's eyes grew wide and his fists began trembling. He simply turned around and kicked the door opened. Silviu's eyes went wide opened. He had never seen Sorin's strength. Sorin marched out of the room and left them all stunned. Lucian watched his brother from a corner and then looked away. Sorin wasn't the only one who felt lied to, he felt both lied by his father and brother. Lucian started walking away and Daciana spotted him. She saw the look in his eyes and quickly chased after him.

Dacia Lupu was left along with Silviu.

-"Dammit! You owe me lots of explanations, lady"- said Silviu. "It's fun teasing that bloodsucker, but...I don't think that was nice"

Silviu walked away too and Dacia simply covered her face with one hand while sadness and guilt began consuming her.
