Unknown Past

It was actually funny for Amelia to see the reaction of both her brother and the blonde next to him. It was funny how he didn't have a word to say to her, to the sister he abandoned so many years before.

"Surprise, Stefan. I am still alive, weird, huh?" Amelia could see he became pale as hell and didn't know what to say, but she had plenty of things to tell her dear brother.

"Uhm, who are you?" The blonde next to him said, clearly confused about who she was or why she was there, and so Amelia just chuckled. "How rude of me to not present myself to your friend, Stefan. Hey, I am Amelia, Amelia Salvatore. And who are you, blondie?" And Amelia could see she became even more confused, and she wasn't surprised at that, not at all.

"Salvatore? Wow, you are married to Stefan? Or are you his relative or something?" Amelia laughed a bit; she really did amuse her. It was funny for her to see how uncomfortable Stefan was with her being there.

"Wife? Never. More like a sister. I am Damon and Stefan's sister. But I still have no clue who you are or what you are doing with my brother. Let me guess, girlfriend?" Now it was her turn to laugh, and Amelia just looked at her clearly not amused.

"I am sorry, it is just I never heard of you. Stefan never mentioned you, like ever. And I am his best friend. Caroline Forbes." Amelia just rolled her eyes and then flashed her a warm smile.

"Well, nice to meet you, Stefan's best friend. Anyway, I am not surprised he didn't mention me. I would be more surprised if he would mention me. We haven't seen each other for years, what was it 1864, Stefan?" He nodded slightly, and Caroline gave him a strange look.

"So she is really your sister, Stefan? Why the hell didn't you ever mention her?" He looked down, and Amelia just chuckled, he was embarrassed at that moment, and it was beyond fun, at least for her.

"I could answer that question, Caroline, but I wouldn't want to be rude, and I think you deserve to find out from him, of course, if he is up to it and if he misses any detail I can fill you in." Caroline looked at her for a moment when she looked at Stefan again, demanding answers.

Finally, he spoke, and Amelia was so happy to hear her brother's voice after all that time. "I am sorry, Amelia. I really am." She just scoffed as she crossed her hands across her chest.

"Hm, you are a little late for that, almost 160 years late. So you see your sister after all that time, and all you got to say is 'I am sorry?' It doesn't work like that, Stefan. You never came after me; you never searched for me, you forgot about me after what you did." Amelia could see it was hard for him to hear all that, but it was the truth, he was too late to apologize, and she didn't plan to forgive him, at least not that easily. Because it took him a second to break her, and a century for her to find herself.

"Look, I know you will have a hard time forgiving me, but I am really sorry. And you are right, Caroline deserves to know the truth, but you also need to know my side of the story, it wasn't easy for me to leave you behind." He looked down for a minute, before looking at her again, and she could see remorse in his eyes, but that wasn't enough, it wasn't enough for him to feel sad for a minute about what he did, he deserved to know what he did when he abandoned her. He broke her, and he deserved to know how much pain he caused her.

"Don't Stefan, don't make this about you. You left me; you broke me. You don't even have a slight clue what you did to me, you don't know what it felt like being left behind, because you weren't left behind, Damon chose you, and it was hard for you? You had someone by your side when I was all alone. Do you know how hard it was that day when father told me you two died? You were my protectors, my brothers and a part of me died with you two. Did you know how it felt hearing father scream and then running to his study only to see your dead brother feeding on him? Or do you know how painful it was when my own brother fed on me and left me to die, alone! Do you know how it felt, changing alone? Not knowing why the hell I am still alive, or how it felt when you called me a monster because I couldn't control myself, or how it felt like when my twin brother told me I don't deserve his love or being alive and that he never wants to see me again? It tore me apart, and I was all alone, I didn't have you or Damon because he chose you over me."
