The next morning I wake up to the smell of bacon. Oh no, what is my mother doing now. She never makes me breakfast unless she is doing something or going somewhere. 

I walk into the kitchen to find her making all my favorite breakfast items, bacon, eggs, french toast, you know typical American breakfast. 

"Good morning mom." I greet her. 

"Good morning Emma." She bids me back. 

"Mom, what's going on? Why are you making me breakfast?" I ask her caustically. 

"I don't..." I cut her off before she could lie to me. 

"Mom, whats going on? Don't try and lie and pretend to me." I tell her asking her to tell me the truth. 

"Emma."

"Mom."

"I have to leave Mystic Falls. I'm sorry but people are starting to know our where-abouts, and that's not what we need. Trust me, you'll be safer if I go. Besides it's not like you'll be alone, you have Elena, Stefan and Damon here. And if any of them hurt you, I'll be back to kick their ass." Of course she has to go, I'm not even that surprised by this. 

"I understand, you're just trying to be a good mother and protect me. Second I don't have Elena, she's working with the other side, she's not with us." I'm stopped by my mother.

"Emma." But I stop her before she could continue. 

"Third, Stefan may not let others hurt me, but he will. Fourth I truly hope you would hurt those who hurt me. And fifth you promised me you wouldn't leave , so please stay." I plead and explain to her. 

"Emma, Elena will always be on your side, she's family and she would do anything to protect you. You may be right about Stefan, but I swear if he or anyone else  hurts you they won't see another day. I know I promised I would stay, but now it's too dangerous. Remember I will always love you no matter what happens." 

"Of course your breaking your promise, that's what you always do." I say annoyed. She's leaving when she said she would stay. I get to be mad. "Where are you going anyways?" 

"Scotland, my flight leaves in three hours. I'm sorry, it's just too dangerous." She says with a sad face as she knows she's disappointing me. 

"Yeah whatever, I just wish you didn't have to go." I continue to say annoyed. 

"How about you skip school today and you and I can hang out until I have to go to the airport." She suggests. 

"That sounds really nice, and I could use a day off of the town and their perverse ideas." I say a bit less annoyed than my last statement. 

"Oh and I already called Lexi, she is coming in for Stefan's birthday, so she will stop by." Mom never lets me be truly alone, too many risks that I could go a bit off the rails. And she doesn't trust Elena right now to look after me. Although since Lexi is Stefan's BFF she'll spend most of her time with him and keep her distance. But she cares about me so she'll come by and keep my company. And my mom will not be happy if she doesn't do what she's asked.


Once I drop my mom off at the airport I go back to my house, but on the way I get stopped by Elena, Damon and Stefan. 

"Why weren't you in school today Emma?" Stefan asks me. 

"Like you care, it's a bit late to be a father, I'm all grown up now." I snap back. 

"Emma why the hell weren't you in school today?" Damon asks me which means I should probably answer. 

"If you must know, Katherine left. She's on her way to Finland. See it's not a bad thing." I don't dare tell them where she's actually going. 

"Well isn't that nice." Damon responds sarcastically.

"Yeah, well I don't really care what you think. Now if you would please excuse me I was going hunting for dinner." I tell them. It's not like I can tell I'm on my way home. It's a safe-house after all.

"You drink animal blood?" Questions a quite Elena. I bet she already knew about Kat leaving too. 

"Hah that's funny. No Elena I drink the people that are stupid enough to be out here." I explain to her. 

"Well isn't that nice." Damon once again responds sarcastically. 

"Yes, yes it is."I respond just as sarcastic. "Now I'm hungry so I'll see you at school tomorrow." I tell them and walk off in a different direction than the house. 


The next day I get to my class with Mr. Saltzman to be bombarded with questions from the whole class on where I was yesterday. 

"So Miss. Pierce, where were you yesterday? That's what everyone wants to know, so how about you tell the whole class." 

"I was dropping my mother off at the airport, she's leaving for business abroad. She'll be gone for a while." 

"And where did she go?" Wow wanting all the details.

"Europe." 

"Well Miss. Pierce Europe is very large, could you narrow it down for us?" 

"She's in northern Europe." I say purposely annoying him with my round-about answer.

"Could you tell us exactly where?"

"I guess I could, she's in Finland." I tell them finally conceding to the question. "Mr. Saltzman I think this line of questioning requires a lawyer and a warrant. And you do not have a warrant and I not a lawyer. So may I ask why you are interrogating me." 

"I would just like to know the facts. What does your mother do that she must travel to Finland? If I may ask."  He's starting to get on my nerves. 

"Well I don't have a lawyer, so I'm afraid I can't answer that. I think I'll use my right to remain silent. So I don't mind you asking the question I simply won't be answering it." I say so sweetly. 

"Alright then, let's get back to our lesson, the 1930's." 

While the lesson continues on I think about what I'm going to do while mom's gone, and I need to come up with a better plan for my revenge. I'm happy Lexi is coming, she's always been there when I need her to be. I think I might call one of my favorite Mikaelson's, Kol. I'm friends with all of them, for some reason they quit going after my mom when I was born. But my mom and I have been running from Russians ever since.  And unfortunately the lesson ends before I could come up with a plan. 

But as I'm walking out I come up with an idea, a brilliant idea. 

My thoughts of a plan are stopped when I walk out to the courtyard and Bonnie and Caroline approach me. 

"Well look who it is, Miss I'm-going-to-manipulate-you-to-get-into-my-father's-girlfriends-head." Wow, I'm impressed by that one.

"You know what Caroline I'm not the one who walked up to you, you walked up to me, to pick a fight it seems." I explain to her that she got herself into this one on her own. 

"You know what Emma, I'll tell you something. Your father hates you, your mother left you and if you think I'm going to spy for you you are way wrong. And as for being friends, maybe you shouldn't have burned Tyler's house down. You declared war and I'm not on your side." Caroline rants and I walk away unfazed and continue on with the rest of my day. 

Hi friends, I must say I do enjoy writing Caroline lines, she's really fun to write. Anyways, how was your holiday? I hope it was good. If you worked allot raise your hand cause that was me too. 

But back to the story, a bit of a filler chapter,  but not a bad one. I hope ya'll enjoy it.
