Chapter 2

Why had this dagger created such a stir and why had Uncle K had it, different questions swam through my mind as I drove to the motel. There had been fear in Enzo's eyes for a second and I was sure of that, who were those two guys he was speaking with. I followed the bar tenders instructions and ended up in front of one of the most run down places I had ever seen, a large sign faintly read The Paradise Motel some of the letters had peeled off but the sun mark was left behind, surely this can't be the motel. I walked into the reception and rang the bell on the desk I waited a few moments before an aging man appeared

'Hi can I book a room for a couple of nights please'

'A room'

'Yes this is a motel right'

'Yes but not many folks stay in this town anymore has something to do with strange disappearances'

'Strange disappearances?'

'And death' he smiled at me knowing he had caught me in his story web

'A few years back the Mayor was found dead then a year or so later they found his wife drowned in the garden fountain' This guy was really selling this small town to a complete stranger

'I'm due to sell the place soon, you're probably going to be my last guest' he handed me the key and asked me to pay him up front for the price of the room. I walked back outside and opened the trunk of my car and retrieved my suitcase, my room wasn't hard to find my key said room 11 and since the rooms went in order it didn't take too many brain cells to find it.

I opened the door and was met with the usual motel décor, a bed, a chair, a mini fridge, a tv hidden in a cabinet and a small bathroom but it would do. I dropped my bag and suitcase on the floor and decided that the best thing I could do for myself tonight was get some sleep. I fished out my toiletry bag and pj's and walked into the small bathroom. I couldn't wait to have a hot shower but that was kinda wishful thinking the shower turned freezing cold after 10 minutes. I climbed into bed and turned the TV on to find the news on, something about some party at the local uni got out of hand and an animal attack had happened, I didn't like the sound of the animal attack it sounded too familiar.

My phone started buzzing on the night stand and I looked at the caller ID it was Rebekah, I sighed and answered it

'Where the bloody hell are you? Klaus is going mad he thinks the witches or wolves have taken you'

'I'm fine tell Klaus not to worry'

''If you're fine then call him yourself I'm not your go between' I could tell she was trying to stay calm on the phone

'I can't if I speak to him he will demand that I come home or he will insist on coming here'

'And where is here may I ask?'

'Mystic Falls' There was silence on the other end of the line and I heard rustling like the phone was being hidden as she moved somewhere else

'Tell me you're joking'

'No why?'

'Let's just say we have a history there, Klaus is going to be so mad at you when he finds out'

'Please Rebekah don't tell him where I am just say that you have spoken to me and that everything is ok and I will be back home in a couple of days'

'How do you suppose I'm going to stop him tearing down the whole bloody city looking for you?'

'You'll think of something'

'Fine…you owe me one Cami'

'Thanks I'll see you in a couple of days' The phone went dead and I was a little worried, Klaus would certainly tear down a city. I hoped that Rebekah knew how to calm him down without daggering being involved, I replaced my phone back onto the nightstand and turned off the lights, my eyelids were getting to heavy to fight I didn't dream it was a memory that came to me in my dream world.

It had been a year since Uncle K had died and I hadn't been able to bring myself to go to the church and collect his belongings, every time I tried to all I could think about was the last couple of days of his life. I'd woken up that day determined to carry out the task. This meant going into his room and cleaning out his things. I walked through the church and up the stairs to his room, everything was untouched.

I collected his clothing and put them in a spare suitcase that was in the cupboard in the corner, I collected all the pictures up and wrapped them in bubble wrap before placing them in cardboard boxes. I picked up one picture and smiled I remembered it being taken, it was of me Shaun and Uncle K it was our senior year and instead of going away with our friends for spring break we went camping with Uncle K and he had taken this picture of us all sat around the campfire smiling not a care in the world, not knowing in just over 5 years two of them would be dead. I placed the last picture in the box and cello taped the top shut. There wasn't much left to clean up, I went to double check that I had retrieved everything from the cupboard when I noticed that one of the bricks looked loose.

I pulled the brick out and found that someone had hidden something that was wrapped in cloth with a piece of paper. I pulled the cloth aside and found a dagger that had been designed in such a careful way with the dagger there was a piece of paper with my Uncle's handwriting on it, it was a name and address of someone I had never heard of before but it clearly meant something to my Uncle. I packed everything into the trunk of my car and drove back to the compound. The dagger bugged me and stayed in my mind, I found myself thinking about it when I had nothing to do, so I decided to track down this Enzo person, there wasn't much about him however I did manage to get one of Klaus's vampires to do some digging and found there was an Enzo staying in Mystic Falls. The next day I packed my suitcase and headed for a town that I had never heard of before.

The nightstand beside me starting vibrating and it woke me from my memory, Klaus face popped up on the screen and I hit ignore I couldn't speak to him, speaking to him would only result in a fight that I wanted to delay as much as I could, once I hit ignore I closed my eyes and fell into a dreamless sleep.
