Baby Gilbert (The Vampire Diaries)

XXIV

Isabella's POV
"Why us?" Elena asked as soon as Dammy and I came downstairs.
Stefan was there too with his arms crossed.
"Because I wanted a family again. And Miranda and Grayson were kind enough to take me in even though they knew they knew what I was, told me to compel you and Jeremy that they had me also,"
"How did you even meet them?"
"At the hospital. I'm half vampire and blood wont just keep me full, the authorities found me passed out on the ground in Mystic Falls you were very small then so you probably dont know the story about a little girl found half dead on the streets of Mystic Falls. Somehow your dad knew I wasnt human and he accepted me after I told him everything. From the Salvatore's to the Mikaelsons and now Gilbert, I'm sorry Elna or..... Elena I do apologize for being a burden I just wanted a family again,"
"You said my name correctly,"
"I always knew but you know the innocent act,"
"Right, so let me ask you this, did you care about us at all?"
I frowned.
"Of course I did, you guys were like a real family to me,"
"And you do have a family. You have us," Stefan says causing me to frown.
"What's  wrong?" Damon asked as I looked to the ground.
"The Mikaelsons are back Dammy, I was there greatest treasure and still am. They are very protective of me, once the rest know I'm still alive,"
"But that Elijah guy we killed him. Hes dead right?"
I slowly nodded hoping they wouldnt see through my lie.
"Okay so no one else knows your existence so in other news your safe with us,"
"No one that we know of at least," Damon commented having Stefan glare at him.
"Either way we'll protect you so you dont have to worry about them,"
I bit my lip sighing. There's no way for me to tell them that I want to leave with Uncle Eli especially since they just found out who I truly am. I nodded anyways.
"Thank you Elena, Stefan and Damon for everything,"
"Of course your our sister I'd do anything for you,"
I was back in my room now as my brothers had went to bed. I sighed as I say on my own bed.
"You want to leave with me dont you little one?" The voice of Elijah said as I jumped.
"Uncle Eli, how do you keep popping up put of nowhere?"
He chuckled.
"I'm an original, plus you leave your window open,"
"Oh, and to answer your question is it so bad that I do uncle?"
"No of course not, in fact I want you to come with me, but your brothers may think otherwise,"
"I know I'm torn between two families  but then again after what Uncle Klaus did to mommy I dont want to see him,"
"Klaus will be coming soon anyways for the doppleganger,"
"And not for me?" I asked sad.
"He doesnt know your alive yet little one. I plan to keep it that way for awhile,"
"Why?"
"Because I told you Uncle Klaus has changed. There's no way in telling what he'll do to you so in the meantime when he arrives you go by Rosanne Gilbert understand?"
"Yes Uncle Eli I understand, but Klaus always caught me when im lying, he'll see right through me!"
"You've been hiding your identity all these years, keep it up so he wont know, and I will protect you from other vampires who want you,"
"Want me?"
"Yes if word gets out about a look alike Isabella Salvatore, your in great danger every vampire who knows Klaus will try and capture you, just like the doppleganger,"
I sighed.
"I am safe in your hands Uncle Eli, I love you," I told him wrapping my arms around his neck.
"And I love you little one,"
Elena's POV
I got up from Stefan's bed to go downstairs to get a glass of water until I heard voices inside coming from Isabella's room. Curious, I went to her door and leaned up against it.
"So why did you cut your hair?" She asked someone from inside as they chuckled.
"New century little one, no way Klaus and I can look like were from the 1900s,"
She giggled.
"I used to love playing with your long hair. I think Uncle Klaus would get jealous cause I paid more attention to you than he,"
I quickly but quietly walked back into Stefan's room shaking him awake.
"Hmmm?"
"Someones in Isabella's room, I'm hearing voices,"
"WHAT?!" He whisper shouts getting up from bed and quickly vamp speeding to her room.
I followed with as he busted open the door.
"Isabella! Isabella who was in here?!"
"No one Steffie,"
"Your lying I heard voices. You were talking to someone one here!" I exclaimed.
"It was me," a figure says coming out of her closet.
I gasped as he sped over to me and dialated his eyes as he held Stefan in the air with a choke hold.
"I was never here I'm still dead," he compelled me.
"You were never here your still dead," I repeated in a monotone voice.
"Now go back to Stefan's room and sleep," he compelled as I walked away.
Isabella's POV
"As for you," Uncle Eli said still choking Steffie.
"W-What do you want with Isabella?" He asked struggling in his grip.
"I want her back with me but you two will get in the way but as for now, I'm still dead and you never saw me," he said dropping Stefan on the ground.
"Your still dead and I never saw you," he replied in a monotone voice getting back up.
"Now go back to bed,"
He nodded as he left the room and turned to me.
"That was close,"
"Too close," I responded nodding my head.
