Chapter 2: Daughter?
May 16th 1879
Marceline was out with Maid Mary, the two walking around quite nicely in the sun, but Mary noticed the darkness started to swoop over them.
"I think it's best if we go back no child" She said to the raven haried teenager.
"Yes ma'am" Marceline said and the two walked back.
As they got to the large garden, Marceline felt like there was something wrong "Mary?" She asked.
"Yes?"
"We didn't leave the door open, did we?"
"No, must've been James" Mary replied as they walked up closer. They entered the house to find it quiet.
"Mother?" Marceline shouted "Father? James?"
No answer "Marceline?" A voice asked, a Voice Marceline didn't recognise. She followed it until she came to the parlor and she let out a cry, there was blood everywhere, three bodies lying on the ground, Marceline's hand went to her mouth, the sight making her want to vomit.
"We need to leave this place child!" Mary said and grabbed her arm, trying to pull her towards the door.
"But my-" Marceline began.
"No but's child! We need to leave!"
Mary dragged her to the door but as they rounded the corner, there was a woman standing, blood tracing her dress and her lips.
"Demon!" Mary growled angrily.
"Hello Marceline" She said "I'm Katherine"
Marceline stared at the olive skinned woman in front of her in horror "What did you do?" She cried.
"I did you a favour...you don't need a family" She said taking a step forward.
"You stay away demon!" Mary said to her pointing a finger at the maid. The woman named Katherine, brushed a long curly strand of hair from her face and she tilted her head and was then in front of them. Her face transformed and Marceline let out a ear piercing scream as Katherine nearly ripped Mary's throat out and she fed on her blood.
She couldn't move, she was frozen to the spot, she didn't know where to go, how was she supposed to run from this demon? Mary then dropped to the ground, dead and Katherine's large almond shaped eyes turned to Marceline who stared at her in terror.
"P-Please don't hurt me" She cried.
"It will only hurt for a moment" Katherine said and then bit into Marceline's neck, feeding from her, Marceline struggled to get away from her until she felt faint and she dropped to the ground, her blue eyes fluttering and they finally landed on Katherine's face, the blood dripping from her chin as she knelt down beside the body of the teenager and bit into her wrist, roughly pressing it to the girl's mouth and forcing the hot sticky blood to go down her throat. "I told you didn't I?"
"W-Why?" Marceline whispered.
"Think of it as a gift...you'll get to see your father through the years"
"My father?"
"Damon goodnight, dear" Katherine said before breaking the girl's neck easily and staring around at the mess she'd made.
NOW
"She killed you?" Stefan asked "Just like that?"
"Yeah" Marceline shrugged "I would have ripped her head off when I woke up...but she was gone...though there was this other girl"
"Other girl?" Damon asked.
"Um...Lexi..I think that's her name" She said "She told me how to become a vampire...she saved me, I would've died, I only knew her for a few weeks...she taught me a few things then I didn't see her again after that"
"Lexi?" Stefan asked the pain in his voice was clear.
"You knew her?"
"She saved me plenty of times too" Stefan said.
"Until I killed her" Damon said with a shrug.
Marceline stared at him in disbelief "You...killed her? Why?"
"Part of a diabolical plan" Damon said.
"Something to do with Miss Pierce or Miss Gilbert?" Marceline asked. "I'm probably assuming it's Katherine you mean...is she even still alive?"
"Unfortunetly" Damon said making a face.
"Yeah" Stefan nodded.
"Do...you have a blood bag?" Marceline asked standing up "I haven't fed in a few hours"
"Sure" Stefan nodded and disappeared.
Marceline sat back down and her eyes travelled to Damon's face who was staring right back at her "So.." She began.
"So" He said back.
"I can help with this Klaus situation...right?" She asked cocking an eyebrow "I mean..I've met him"
"I would prefer it if you didn't..." Damon said "But if you must"
"Good" She said clapping her hands like a child "Because I don't like it when people tell me what to do"
"Rebel child. Great" Damon said rolling his eyes.
"If it's any consilation...I came here looking for you" She said "And I kept this"
She pulled out a necklace, with a diamond cross on it and Damon stared at it "You kept that?"
"Why wouldn't I keep it? My father gave it to me on my birthday...the only time I really got to see him...I looked for you for years...and couldn't find you...whenever I came anywhere close to finding you you were gone by the time I got there...I thought maybe you wouldn't be here either"
"Well I am"
"You don't seem so pleased" She said leaning on her knees, her blue eyes still staring at him intently.
"What?"
"That I'm here" She said.
"We're in a lot of trouble right now...and having someone else to worry about and protec-"
"I don't need you to protect me, I've been doing fine on my own" She said raising an eyebrow at him "Besides, I can handle myself"
"Isn't looking after your child...what a father is supposed to do?" Damon asked.
She shrugged "I don't know. it's been years since i've had one"
Damon felt bad for a minute "You know...I didn't want you to...be sent away"
"I know"
"How?"
"I met my real mother, she told me"
"Oh"
"So...when are you going to introduce me to this Elena girl? Because I don't like the sound of her"
"You don't like the sound of Elena?" Stefan asked coming into the parlor.
"Why?" Damon asked.
"Well there's CLEARLY a love triangle here...and I hate love triangles"
"There is no love triangle" Damon said scoffing.
Just then the door opened and closed "Stefan?" A voice shouted.
"Here she comes" Marceline smirked, folding her arms and sitting back.
The brunette walked into the parlor and stopped short when she seen them staring at her "Uh.." She began.
"Elena" Stefan started "This is Marceline"
"Hi" Elena said eyeing her cautiously.
"Hello Elena"
It didn't go unnoticed to Elena that the girl and Damon had the same similarites between them, their eyes, their hair, the way she just spoke.
"Marceline is...Damon's..." Stefan tried.
"Daughter" Damon finished.
"Daughter?" Elena asked confused, but surprised. "But didn't you say Vampire's couldn't-"
"She was born in 1862" Stefan said "Sent away"
"Sent away?"
"You ask a lot of questions" Marceline stated sitting forward again, clearly bored.
"She was born out of wedlock"
"Bastard child" Marceline snapped her fingers, earning a glare from Damon "What?"
He scoffed and rolled his eyes, continuing the drink.
"Oh" Elena said in a low tone. "Nice to meet you"
"Yeah..you too" Marceline said but the only person who seemed to notice her sarcasm was Damon, because he shook his head.
"Stefan...can I talk to you?" Elena asked.
"sure" Stefan nodded and ushered her out of the parlor and out of the house.
"Do you really love her? or is it just because Stefan has her?" Marceline asked staring over at Damon.
Damon sighed aggrivatedly before rubbing a hand over his face "let's not talk about it"
"Why? I'm your daughter...I should know these things"
Damon scoffed this time and sat forward "No. You shouldn't"
Marceline rolled her eyes "So what are you going to be doing about Klaus?"
"We're not sure yet" Damon shrugged..."But he'll come for her soon"
"and when he does...you're going to be her white knight?"
Damon rolled his eyes "Saint Uncle Stefan is the white knight"
"I'm sure that's not true, I'm sure you've saved her loads of times"
"I have...and in the process killed her brother, turned her mom into a vampire, tried to kill her too..."
"Anger problems huh? Now I know where I get it"
"You have anger problems?"
"Not so much as anger problems...more the feelings of...I'm going to rip your head off if you look at me the wrong way feelings"
"I get those" He said
"hey, can I have a drink of that"
"No. You're underage" he smirked.
Marceline raised an eyebrow "Really? You're going to play that card? I've been here like ten minutes"
"Not the point" Damon said. "You can choose a room...because I doubt you'll be staying anywhere else"
"You want me to stay somewhere else...I could always crash at Elena's...I'm sure she wouldn't mind" Marceline smirked.
"No chance" Damon said shaking his head "Pick a room...which ever one you want"
"Okay..." marceline shrugged "Thanks"
"For what?"
"Having me...I guess?"
Damon stared at her in disbelief for a minute before shrugging "You are my daughter"
"Yes. I am" She said nodding.
"You...uh should stay away from Elena...she has this thing where she likes to annoy people with her choices" Damon nodded.
"Right" Marceline smirked "Whatever...I wouldn't be friends with her anyway"
"Why?"
"She seems like the type to...I don't know...not know who to choose...I mean she could be a vampire and in ten years down the line say..."I still don't know who I want" That's annoying"
"Oh really and if it had to come down to a love triangle between you and people...who would you pick"
"The second" Marceline said.
Damon scrunched his face up "Why?"
"In the wise words of Johnny Depp, if you really loved the first, you would never have fallen for the second...or he says something along those lines...I mean the guy is amazing"
Damon let out a sigh as Marceline stood and handed him the remainder of the blood bag "You wanan share daddy?" She asked with a small pout and Damon swatted it away, causing the girl to laugh and sit back down.
This was going to be interesting...
