The Discovery

Chapter 6 Supernatural?

I scream it's all I can do. How else is a person supposed to react to a blood sucking vampire staring you down. Damon is just standing there smirking at me. He hasn't moved away from me and he is scarily close but at least his face is back to normal.

"Oh shut up girl!" Whines my father sitting in his chair.

"I shouldn't have removed that tape!" Snaps Damon finally moving away from me only to punch my dad hard in the face. I jump and cover my mouth with my hands and my mum screams. Though to be honest he has treated us horribly over the years and that punch was coming to him.

"Vampires." I stutter out. I don't think it has much relevance anymore but I just found out they exist and it's the only thing I can say at the moment.

"Yep. Blood sucking, human killing, monsters." Smirks Damon but there is something else in his eyes but I don't press it for all I know it could just be a trick or hunger.

"I only feed on animals thanks." Pipes up Stefan from behind me. I had forgotten he was there somehow and now I felt like I couldn't breathe. I was surrounded by vampires and my lying family.

"Who's screaming?" Calls a cocky blonde strutting in like it's no big deal. She isn't like Rebecca she seems to act like this as a defence.

"Vampires?" I say again louder this time with more belief in it being true.

"Yah and?" Says the cocky blonde. She was going to get on my nerve very quickly. She was the clique popular head cheer leader if ever I saw one.

"She just found out give her a break." Spits Damon shaking his head.

"You... you stood up for me?" I stutter so quietly I questioned if anyone was listening.

"Well don't get use to it. My brother here is the good one. I'm a dick!" Retails Damon.

"Anyway... I'm Caroline. You are...?" Asks the cocky blond who I know know to be Caroline.

"Harper. Just moved here. Yesterday, I think." I reply my face is still full of concern and uncertainty.

"You think? Do you not know what day it is?" Asks Caroline trying (and failing) to stop herself from laughing.

I for some unknown reason, it may be that I've accepted that vampires are real or if it's that I'm just pissed off at my parents and it's bubbling over, I find my confidence and give her a cocky response (possibly not my best decision.) "well let's see it's a day in the week and so what if i don't actually know what day it is. It's not that important right now. I just found out that vampires exist and hold my parents hostage sooo.... Oh and I passed out when I was kidnapped so I'm not sure if I was out for more then a day."

"You were kidnapped?! By who are you ok sweetie?" Asks my mum piping worry filling her voice.

"I'm fine. I just passed out and they asked me questions. Matt saved me actually." I reply.

"I really didn't do much they would've let you go I just walked you home." Shrugs Matt.

"Who was it?!" Snaps my father, that's about all the compassion and worry he will give me.

"Klaus, Rebecca and Elijah?" I answer but it comes out as a question because I really don't know if that was who it was.

"They kidnapped you and didn't hurt you?" Asked Caroline.

"Yeah why?" I ask.

"That's not normally their style. They kill first and ask questions later. What did they want with you anyway?" Smirks Caroline. I really didn't like her but who knows she might reveal her true self.

"Well where we moved from they hadn't heard of it." I say unsure what it had to do about anything.

"They haven't heard of it? How is that even possible. They are literally the oldest things alive." Asks Caroline some real shock coming through.

"Weird." Says Damon agreeing, "alright party over everyone out of my house. Chop chop."

"What?" I ask looking over at him and seeing Matt and Caroline sigh before walking out.

"You can leave. And take your mother and father with you. They're getting on my nerves." Damon spat.

Me and my parents were at our new house sitting there in uncomfortable silence, though my dad wasn't that uncomfortable he was almost smiling I guess he had gotten over being angry.

"Werewolves are real too you know? And witches and probably everything else you can think of." My father smirked.

"So the world is full of supernatural creatures and it's your job to kill them?" I ask looking at my dad.

"Yes. They don't deserve to be alive there monsters and this town is crawling with them. Watch your back." Replies my father looking at me.

"Explain." I say simply.

"It's in our blood. Our family line are hunters. We hunt everything there is from vampires to werewolves. And you want to know the secret ingredient in our coffee? Vervain. It harms vampires and with it in your system you can't get compelled." Explains my father. I'm not sure why or even how but suddenly I just get it. It dawns on me this is real and this is my life. If I want more answers I can find them but I don't need them. I don't have that feeling that I have unanswered questions anymore.

"Ok." I say before grabbing all my bags and walking up the stairs and into my room.

I'm not going to talk to those brothers again. Let's hope to not seeing Stefan at school tomorrow or Caroline for that matter. Though I could do with seeing Matt. I may or may not have developed a small tiny tiny crush on Matt. After all he did save my life.

AN: thanks for reading sorry if this chapter is horrible I kind of writers block writing this because I know where the story is going and this is what I need to get there but it's not very exciting sorry.
