As Melrose drove to the Salvatore Boarding house, her mind was full of possibilities-the chance she'll see Damon was the one on top of her list, she knew it would happen someday, but she needed to deal with it.

"The one place I haven't returned and was hoping to never go to was the Boarding house, what are the chances the older one will be there?" Melrose decided to ask Elena who was sitting in the front seat.

Elena's heartbeat picked up already answering for her," Well, um. Maybe not so high of a chance?" Melrose chuckled at the nervous girl, but she did ask, so she couldn't blame the girl for probably fearing her, since she was a vampire, and Elena might feel intimidated.

"Let's have our fingers crossed then" Melrose joked as the rest of the car ride was silent the entire way to the boarding house. The inside of Melrose's head wasn't so silent, she was struggling with having to face reality, and for once her mind was not filled with her son, but of anxiety.

When the location was in view, Melrose held her breath as she saw the place, she dreaded ever being near for so long, there was a lot of good memories, but just the single bad one, was there fresh in her mind.

The day, Katherine Pierce arrived in Mystic Falls.

Melrose followed the two siblings as they walked to the entrance of the home, and when she reached the front door, Stefan appeared quickly inviting her inside," I never wanted to step foot in this place again" Melrose muttered as Stefan looked at her frowning sadly.

"Don't give me that look, you look like a lost puppy" Melrose teased as she followed Stefan in the house and walked into the living room and frowned immediately.

"Why is my son drinking to stupor Stefan?" She turned to Stefan after looking at her son laying down holding an empty bottle of bourbon.

"I'm sorry, he-I just...well- Melrose sighed at the young Salvatore and walked over sitting on the couch her son was on

"I swear, what am I going to do with you Rio" She cooed running her hands through his hair as he smiled

"I'm sorry, Mum" he mumbled in his sleep.

Stefan smiled at the affection, really seeing his brother in his nephew when Damon did get drunk "I should be scolding you about letting your own nephew for getting so drunk, he never drank before you know" Melrose gave a scolding look to Stefan who was scratching his neck. Melrose reached inside her pocket to check her phone for the time but didn't find it," Oh no, that's not good"

She mumbled but Stefan heard her," What's wrong?"

"I don't have my phone" She panicked

Stefan looked at her raising his eyebrow," Why, is something wrong?"

"Yes, Elijah will think something happened, I usually call him every night, and I-"

Elena, Stefan and Jeremy all furrowed their brows to the name," Elijah?" Stefan asked praying it was not the original they had come to know, they didn't need that stress on them.
