Hidden. The dictionary definition is to be kept out of sight. To be concealed away from the prying eyes of the public. Some people would say that a human being could not live locked away from the rest of the world for their whole life. But that's how I could describe my life up until now. I was moving away from the only place I ever had known. The safe heaven that was my home.
"Pierce?"I turned from looking at the pale purple wall of my room or what use to be my room. "You ready to go? Your dad is waiting in the car for us." My mom asked. Her brown hair was hanging in her face against her light caramel skin. Her beady brown eyes took me in, waiting for my reaction.
"Yeah, I am. I was just... taking a look around." I muttered, ruffling the wild brown curls at the back of my head. For a moment, I saw a glimpse of regret in my mom's face but she quickly recovered. She walked closer to me.
"I know us moving came as a shock to you. But there's nothing left for us here. There's more the world has to offer for us." My mother whispered. She took my face in her hands. "For you."
"How would I know? I've never even been outside this house." I answered honestly. My mom sighed in defeat. "Let's just go mom." I picked up my messenger bag and began to head for the door. I stopped in the doorway as she began to talk.
"Pierce... I-" She said before I interrupted.
"You're right, there's nothing left for me here. There nothing here for me in the beginning." I stated before walking down the stairs and heading for the front door. I stepped out into the night and headed for the SUV parked in our driveway. I heard my mom's footsteps hitting the pavement as I got into the car.
"You okay Pierce?" My dad asked me as I settled in the backseat to make myself comfortable. "I'm just making sure you're comfortable. Your thermos is in the back if you need it. I made sure it stays warm during the drive. It's gonna be a long ride to Virginia." I smiled at my dad for trying to make me feel better. I pulled out my iPod and stuck the earplugs in as I scanned through the many songs I had on the player.
I watched as my mom got into the car ad she buckled up. My dad pulled away from the curb and I looked at my home once last time, saying a silent goodbye. I was leaving the one place that I had know as my safe heaven my entire life behind for Mystic Falls. Just from the name, I could tell it was a wild and dark place. But I didn't need to know that it was a dangerous place from the name; I could already feel it.
The drive seemed to be a blur for me. I fell in and out of consciousness, it becoming a cycle. When I was awake, I would take small sips of the liquid in my thermos, just in case I ran out before arriving in Mystic Falls. During the ride, there was times I would pretend to be asleep just so my parents could continue talking without the interruptions of constantly checking on me.
"I never thought that the same person who caused us to leave Mystic Falls would be the same reason we're coming back." My mom said. Even though I couldn't see her or my dad but imagined the motions they were using, My mom was probably pulling a hand through her straight brown hair with frustration while my dad would occasionally turned to look at her while she spoke.
"Olivia, we did what was right by leaving-" Dad paused, probably to take my mom's hand in his. "And we're doing the right thing by returning. Bonnie could use some parental guidance in her life and help with witchcraft too. And things are probably going to be hard for Abby to but we could find a way to help her too." I heard the sound of what seemed to be my dad kissing the back of my mom's hand. A small smile appeared on my face.
"I hope you're right Marcus. I just don't want the past to repeat itself." My mom breathed. After hearing the conversation between my parents, I winded up falling back asleep. I knew it had to do with lack of nutrition but I didn't want alert them about it.
After sleeping for awhile, I felt someone shaking me awake despite the fact I wanted to sleep longer. I turned away from the hand that was lightly shaking my shoulder.
"Piers? Come on sweetie. We re here. You gotta wake up sweetie." I heard my mom say softly. I turned over and slowly blinked my eyes open a couple of times. I had to adjust my eyes due the oversensitivity of the morning light coming from the open door in the car. I shut my eyes immediately, irritated by the sunlight. My mom quickly grabbed my the hood under my jean jacket and lifted it over my head. "Marcus, we need to get her in the house and fed properly." She said. I began to move towards the door, trying not to look into the sun. I slipped out of the car and my dad walked with me to the house quickly. We walked up the porch steps and my dad rung the doorbell. Soon the door opened and a girl with blonde hair and porcelain skin opened the door. She looked at us confused glance. A girl with brown skin and green eyes who I assumed to be Bonnie appeared next to her and gave us a small smile.
"Uncle Marc. Come in." Bonnie said as she opened the door wider and stepped aside. I felt a bit woozy as I stepped inside and almost fell to the ground. Luckily, the blonde girl help catch me before I hit it.
"Is she okay?" The blonde girl asked as she helped me towards the living room.
"Pierce gets a carsick. We tried to give her some food but she didn't want to eat it." My mom said as she entered the house. She placed my bag and the thermos on the table. She then turned to Bonnie and pulled her in for a hug. "You've grown up so much. I can't believe it." She rubbed the girl's back while holding her close. They soon pulled back and Bonnie looked at Caroline.
"Caroline, meet my uncle Marcus and Aunt Olivia. She's my mom's sister. This is their daughter, Pierce." Bonnie said, introducing all of us. "Care, do you mind running out to get some food from the Grill? I'm too tired to cook right now."
"Alright. It's nice to meet you guys." Caroline said before grabbing her purse from the nearby couch. "I'll be back." The front door opened and she walked out.
There was a moment of silence before Bonnie and my mom spoke up at the same time.
"She's a vampire isn't she?" They asked in unison.
