Chapter 5

3rd Person POV

Scarlett was awoken to the sound of someone knocking on the door downstairs.

She sat up on her bed and furrowed her eyebrows.

Who can be here?.

It’s so early.

She climbed down and when her feet hit the ground and grabbed her beat and she walked to her door and opened it.

Scarlett walked across the hall and opened Stefan’s room door.

“Uncle Stefan?. Someone’s knocking on the d-“She started but then she noticed he wasn’t in his room.

“He must’ve went to school”She said and let out a sigh. ‘I’m not aloud to open doors by myself because I’m still small. Maybe Zach will do it’ Scarlett thought to herself

Then the person knocking on the door stopped knocking and she got out of Stefan’s room and started walking downstairs, with her bear close to her chest.

She could hear someone talking and she followed the voice.

“Stefan?. Stefan?”She hears Elena say. ‘Elena’s here!’ Scarlett thinks to herself excitedly.

She leaks faster to where Elena is.

“You must be Elena. I’m Damon Stefan’s brother”Damon says and Scarlett furrows her eyebrows. ‘What is Damon doing talking to Elena?’ Scarlett thinks to herself.

“He didn’t tell me he had a brother”Elena tells Damon. “Well, Stefan’s not one to brag. Please, come”Damon says.

‘Oh no!. Is he going to hurt her?!’ Scarlett thinks to herself.

‘What do I do?. I don’t think Stefan wants Damon to be around Elena. And I remember that Damon said he wanted to bite Elena’ Scarlett thinks to herself.

“I see why my brothers so smitten. It’s about time, for a while there, I never thought he’d get over the last one. Nearly destroyed him”Damon said.

‘What does that mean?. What is a last one?. I don’t understand grown up talk’ Scarlett thinks to herself.

“The last one?”Elena asked. “Yeah. Katherine, his girlfriend?”Damon said.

‘Uncle Stefan does not have a girlfriend’ Scarlett thinks to herself.

She goes to the parlor and steps in front of Damon and he looks at her questionably.

“Hey Scarlett”Elena says and she runs into her arms and give her a hug before letting go.

“Why are you talking to Elena Damon?”Scarlett asks him. “Scarlett it’s fine. Your cousin-“Elena starts but Scarlett cuts her off, “My dad.” Scarlett says with a smirk and looks at Damon.

“Shes joking. Elena would you hang on a second I want to talk to Scarlett real quick”Damon tells her and Elena nods her head.

Scarlett follows Damon to a room and once Damon closes it he glared at her.

“Look kid, you need to stop calling me your father”He tells her. “Why not?. You are my dad”Scarlett tells him. “No...I’m not. Don’t call me that anymore. If I even hear you calling me your dad you’re going to regret it”he says.

“What are you going to do?. Hurt me?”Scarlett asked because she was honestly curious.

“Don’t test me”He says with his jaw tightened. “Why don’t you believe me?”I ask him. “Because vampires can’t have kids and I don’t want one. Whatever joke you and Stefan are trying to play is not going to work”He says.

“A game?. Do you mean monopoly?. Me and Uncle Stefan play monopoly all the time. Yeah we play games”Scarlett says, not understanding what he means.

“Stop telling people I’m your father. You don’t get to call me anything else but Damon”he says and she nods her head and leaves and goes up the stairs.

When she gets to her room she closes the door and goes on her bed.

“Great now I’ll never have a daddy. Why can’t my daddy be Uncle Stefan?. He’s nice and he treats me nice. But Damon is evil and he is mean to me”She whispers to herself.

‘I wish I had a daddy’ she thinks to herself sadly.

“Why did my mommy have to leave me?. If she was still here I would have someone. I’m all alone”She says to herself sadly as a tear falls out of her eye.

She puts her teddy bear back on the bed and lays her head down on the pillow and turns on her back and stared up at the ceiling.

“I thought when I found my father he would love me. But I guess nobody loves me”She whispers to herself.

‘And it’s all my fault. Just like it was my fault with my mommy. I always ruin things’She adds in her mind.
