Danielle Gilbert ⚜ Klaus Mikaelson [1]

The Letter

Dani's PoV

I chose to stay at home today. After everything that had happened I didn't really want to face everything straight away. Especially since Elena told me that Stefan was going to be leaving. Along with Damon.

Now that I have found out about the supernatural. How can I go back to living a normal human life. Knowing that they are out there.

I confronted Damon before he disappeared and it turns out the only reason he really came back was to free Katherine from the tomb. Honestly I wasn't surprised that he had one motive. I just thought that maybe he could actually be a decent guy and potentially my friend but in reality he is just another asshole.

Today I spoke to Jenna about my birth parents and she told me that they loved me dearly. That my mother even wrote me a letter. I was shocked.
Before Jenna handed me the letter she informed me that whatever happened to them it must have been tragic to leave me with the Gilbert's.

I held the letter in my hands, afraid to open it, as I was not sure what to expect.
I decided to and sit out by the river for some privacy. Elena and Jenna had gone to the convention being held at school but I didn't want to go.

Eventually I finally got the courage to open it.

To my darling daughter,

I don't know when you will get the chance to read this but I hope that you have had a good childhood and are following your dreams.

I'm sorry that this letter is the way you find out about me but I don't think I will get the chance to meet you again in this lifetime. I'm too deep in a situation that could get me killed and I don't want you to get hurt because of me. 

Even though you won't meet me, that doesn't mean you cant learn about your history. There is a book that I have written containing all of our family's history. It will tell you everything you need to know. The only thing I will tell you now it that you carry the werewolf gene and it will be triggered when you kill someone. Whether it was intentional or accidental. Just promise me if you do trigger it that you won't fight it but embrace.

I love you my child,
Your mother.

I felt the tears fall down my face. My mother was most likely dead and I'm basically a werewolf.

My head was exploding into a thousand different thoughts. I was struggling to process all the information.  It was just all too much.

I sat out by the river all day, even when it began to rain. I didn't move or run away. I just sat there and processed what had just happened.
There was so much to take in. So much information that I could never tell anyone unless I truly trusted them.

When I finally chose to come home I immediately went to have a shower. I quickly got into the shower and let the warmth heat up my cold body. Once I was finished I got dressed and placed my letter in the back of my phone case. So I could have it with me all the time. So I knew that my mother was always with me.

I get into bed and fall asleep. Hoping to have a calm dream, with no interruptions.

As always something had to come up and ruin the moment.

My phone buzzed next to me. I picked it up and answered it.

"Hello."

"It's Stefan."

"Are you aware of the time Stefan. It's really late."

"Yes and I'm sorry but I was wondering if you knew where Elena was?"

"No, I don't I have been out all day. Besides why isn't she with you?"

"She was, but I went to get her a drink and when I came back she was gone."

"What?!"

"I know. I found her necklace on the picture I have of Katherine, Dani, I'm concerned that she left because of it."

"If she did, surely she would come home. Can we wait a few hours to see if she turns up. If not, tomorrow morning you can meet me here and we will go and search for her ourselves. Alright?"

"Yeah, okay."

He then hung up.
