(Chapter 2)

(Alexandria's P.O.V)

The day was a normal one I was sitting in my room in front of my vanity mirror brushing through my hair humming quietly to myself when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in" I called out putting my brush down

The door opened and my two older brothers along with my father came in. My brothers smiled and greeted me with a hug and kiss on the cheek. My father cleared his throat and nodded politely as I smiled and curtsied

"Hello Father"

"Alexandria, I come to talk to you and your brothers about something" I nodded and looked curiously at Damon who shrugged causing me to giggle.

Father cleared his throat to re gain out attention; my head snapped towards him and bit my lip when I saw the disapproving look he was giving Damon. I gave Damon a guilty look wish he returned with a nod showing me he understood and that it was okay. I sighted in relief he was not upset.

Father sighted and spoke

"I recently have been talking to some people outside of town who wanted to do business with me; and it came to my attention about some tragedy that occurred. A young woman Katherine Pierce and her family were in an accident. Her house burned to the ground and she lost all her family leaving her as an orphan"

I gasped looking wide eyed at my father as he nodded while clearing his throat

"I being the kind person that I am" he started to say but was interrupted as a laugh sounded out. I internally face palmed noticing it had been Damon who had interrupted. My father stood up squaring his shoulders glaring at Damon

"What's so funny boy?" father asked Damon in an angry voice

"Nothing nothing just y y you said you were nice" Damon howled in laughter.

My father looked at Damon with a look that honestly made me think if he would really kill Damon. Stefan and I frowned and before the interruption could break into a fight between them I looked at my father and spoke calmly

"Okay let's move on, father please continue" I stated politely

Father continued to glare but nodded and went on, I gave Damon an annoyed look

"As I was saying before the rude interruption I decided to help the poor girl and have invited her to move in to the guest house"

I gasped and smiled

"O have you really father? That's marvelous finally another girl, I won't be the only one anymore" I said in pure glee

My father smiled pleased with my reaction, I looked at my brothers who seemed to not mind this.

"Are we dismissed now father?" asked Damon, Father nodded and with one last look at me Damon walked out. Father followed soon after. I frowned at Damon's reaction, Stefan who noticed approached me and said

"Hey it's okay he's just having a rough day he will be over it in no time, besides I'm sure he would enjoy your company right now" I nodded smiling and hugged him

"Thanks Stef you always know what to say" He smiled nudging me towards the door

"Go" he told me

I ran out and went looking for my brother who I found by the gardens; he was sprawled on the grass and was looking at the sky. I sat down next to him taking him by surprise, causing me to release a small giggle at his spooked reaction. He relaxed once he realized it was me. I huffed as I tried fixing my dress while I sat, he chuckled and I rolled my eyes.

"Are you okay Day?" I asked gently laying my head on his shoulder, he nodded but remained silent.

Spending all my life with my brothers I had learned to read them like open books, knowing he was lying I studied his face trying to place what was wrong and noticed he was worried about something and seemed nervous

"I know when you're lying Day so tell me whats got you so worried"

"I hate that your right"

I looked at him as he spoke

"What's bothering you?" I asked

"Life is just so hard; people always expect things from you and they are never satisfied with the results." Frowning at his response I asked

"Is this about father because Day you know how he is, he loves you but has a weird way of showing it"

"No it's not about father, well maybe slightly but I just, never mind kiddo I don't want to overwhelm you with all of this" he said cutting himself off.

"It's okay Damon this is what I'm here for I like to listen and be here for you, your always there for me, you always have been and I think it's my turn to be here for you now"

He smiled and kissed my forehead

"That's my job but see you already made me feel better"

I nodded not convinced

"Hey Day what's going to happen when I turn 16 and dad stars looking for suitors for me?" I asked hoping to distract him

He turned to look at me and frowned

"I don't know Lex but I promise you I will always take care of you and if I have to fight for it because you don't want to marry yet I will, I won't let you be married to someone who will treat you any less than a queen"

I looked teary up at the sky and let out a soft sob

"O Lexi don't cry please it will be okay, it always is I'll make it okay you will see"

"I I don't want to marry yet I heard dad talking about a ball for my birthday yet again and I know he is inviting a lot of eligible men to find a suitor for when the time is right, and I'm so scared because I don't want to leave you and Stefan"

"You won't Lex we will always be here for you, you'll always be our baby sister and we will always look out for you"

I nodded and let him wipe my tears.

"Damon nothing will ever tear us apart right?"

"No Lex we will always be together I promise.

"You me and Stefan together always " I stated forcing a smile on my lips

"That's the spirit Lex" he told me smiling.

I had no idea how wrong he had been.
