The Unwanted Daughter

Chapter Three

I hopped the train, got the flight, and stole the cars. Now here I am at the Mystic Falls town border. A place I haven't been in 24 years, in 1994 when my dad tried to kill me.

 I walk across the border feeling scared of what is to come. I continue my walk towards Wickery Bridge, where dad tried to kill me by burning me alive. It was dawn and we had been arguing about why he hated me, why he didn't want me. He had grabbed my hand as I was trying to walk away and ripped off my daylight ring off. Lucky for me there was still some places around that hadn't been hit by the sun yet. I ran as fast as I possibly could. Also lucky for me my mom had been near by and had heard screams. When she discovered what had happened she was obviously  less than happy. She got my ring back and I ran so fast away from that town. 

I stopped at the end of the bridge thinking about weather it was a good idea to come back, but I was already here so why not stick around.

 I thought about all the memories I had of this town, most of them bad, but some good. Like the time when my dad wasn't here and I got to go to the carnival my mom told me I would love and I did. Every once in a while I would also come and see my uncle, who always cared for me. More than my dad at least.  For some reason my mom always trusted Damon and he never gave us a reason not to either.  And the worst memory I had here when I was 10, mom and I had come to ask Stefan if we could stay with him for a little while, and him saying no and slamming the door in our faces.  And of course the day I found out that my father was a monster, when he ripped my best friends neck apart out of sheer blood lust and lack of control.  

I have such painful memories of this town, yet I still come back.  I have no idea what this trip has in store for me this time.  But I can only imagine the worst. 

My thoughts are stopped by a voice I hear nearby, a voice I don't recognize. Not that is surprising.  However it would be okay if they saw me, but not for this trip. I dash off to my mom and I's safe house that is a cabin in the woods a couple of miles from the old Fell church. 

I really want to see my aunt right now, or call my mom, but I can't have Elena know I'm here yet and my mom is still on a plane for the next twelve hours.  I decide to go to the go down another trip down memory lane. I'm going to the old Salvatore Mansion. The one that could have been my home if only Stefan would have let us in. 

When I get there I see the house is all in ruins now. I guess nobody had lived here in a long time. I  think the last time someone lived here was in 1890. I walk up to the porch and push in the door and instantly have all the horrible memories come to the top of my mind.  I decide to be strong and continue my journey in. As I walk in I see an old piano that needs a good dusting. Making my way to the formal living room and then I see the stairs. I curiously walk up the stairs to see what is on the second floor. I see Stefan's room and Damon's room both rooms having pictures of Katherine in them. Then I see another room. I walk in and see it is decorated for a little girl. I don't weather my uncle or my dad created the room, but my only feelings are sadness and hatred. Sadness for what I missed and hatred for my father for taking it away from me. 

A tear escapes my eye as my thoughts are cut short by voices, but this time they are voices I recognize. It was Elena and Stefan. I bet they already heard me. But much to my surprise Stefan takes a ring, I think I recognize as Damon's daylight ring from behind one of the logs. And they leave as I wounder what is going on. 

Once they leave I also quickly leave and go back to my own home. On the way I stop by the old Fell church.  The one that had that horrible fire in 1864, the one that my mom escaped from. Now there was nearly nothing left of it. Only the tomb where all the other vampires got stuck. My mom says that they deserve it, and I think she is right they do deserve it. I mean they betrayed her they should have seen it coming and been smarter. I can hear the them moaning in starvation every once in a while as I stand in front.
