The Doppelgänger's Heart

Chapter 8: The Question

Damons POV
She was right. She did deserve to know the truth. But who was I to tell her? I mean I obviously cared and loved her but wasn't there someone else who could say it better than me? Maybe Bonnie or Enzo, who are like parents to her. I stared at her innocent eyes who begged for an answer.

"Well are you gonna say anything?" She waited for me to give her the answers to all her questions.

" I want to believe me I do but-"

"I knew it. You're not going to tell me anything" she cuts me off

"I can't Scarlett I'm sorry"

Scarlett's POV
I turn around so I wouldn't have to face Damon anymore. Why does my life have to be like this. My whole life is just so complicated, it always has been. Ever since I was a little girl all I got was that Bonnie and Enzo found me and decided to adopt me and they were the ones who raised me, but no one ever said or mentioned anything about my real mom. I always think about her. I wonder if I look like her even a little bit. Or if I look more like my father. Who was never mentioned. You see most people know this stuff, they know where they come from. But when it comes to me, it's just a blank canvas. No family history. No blood ties, I'm just Scarlett St John. And I am thankful for my parents but I would also like to see where I actually come from.

I can still hear Damon packing behind me. Has he even thought about this for one second? My parents would never let him take me from mystic falls. My parents. They were the ones who I had to ask about all of this. I grabbed my phone and called my mom.

"Hey sweetheart" my mom picked up.

"Hey mom are you and dad on your way home? I kind of wanted to talk to both of you about something"

"Actually we're just outside parking the car."

"Ok I'll see you here"

"Ok honey."

Knowing Damon heard my conversation with my mom I turn around and start walking out of my room, but he grabs my arm.

"Scarlett, we are leaving, you know that right? "

"Knowing my dad, you'd have to kill him before taking me anywhere." I say looking him straight in the eye.

" Scarlett why do you have to make this so hard? Don't you understand I'm doing it to protect you?"

"And don't you understand I can protect myself"

"No you can't Scarlett. Not when it comes to vampires."

"We'll see about that" I say pulling my arm from his grasp and walking downstairs to talk to my parents.

Just as I reach the last step my parents walk into the living room.

"Hey honey, I missed you so much" my mom says as she pulls me into a hug

" I missed you too even though it's been like 2 days mom"

"And what about your old man?" My dad says opening his arms ready for a hug.

"Really dad? Old man? You look like you're a few years older than me" I say laughing as I hug my father.

As soon as my hug with my father is over I hear footsteps coming down.

"Enzo, Bonnie. We need to talk" Damon says very serious.

"No they need to talk to me first" I roll my eyes at Damon and grab my moms hand to ask her the question that would change my life.

"Mom, who's my birth mom?"

Everyone stays quiet and just looks a each other as if I just asked the scariest question ever.
