A/N: This wasn't an easy chapter to write. I wanted to keep both of them in character as best as possible and keeping Damon in character wasn't easy but I think I did it. Also some IMPORTANT NOTES TO MY REVIEWERS :
1. My word document says this chapter is four and half pages hopefully that's long enough. I want to do longer chapters and I'll work on that through out the story.
2. I don't have an actress portraying Alice, one because I described her with ivory eyes and black hair, but if you know any actress with that description please let me know or you can just use you're imagination of who she is.
3. Alice Salvatore is my own creation. All rights of her belong to me.
Chapter 4
Previously…
"Mother?"
"Hello Damon."
Xoxo
He choked, behind him Rose disappeared. This woman, supposedly his mother, wrapped her arms around his neck while Damon remained motionless. She hugged him for a long time and Damon made no effort to hug back.
"I knew it couldn't be you're brother, you had the blue eyes." She stated.
Damon's stomach churned.
Xoxo
Before Rose continued away from the Salvatore manor she dialed Stefan, "You need to come home now."
"Is Damon okay?"
"You need to get home." The line went dead.
Elena looked up at Stefan, "Damon's in trouble?"
"That's what I assume." Stefan says worriedly, "Stay here, I'll call you in an hour or so." He kissed her on the lips.
"But Stefan-"
"Elena I wouldn't worry, Rose didn't sound that urgent." He smiled and walked out her bedroom door.
Xoxo
Stefan opened the door and walked inside, "Damon?"
He walked through the great hall into the main room and he found Damon. There was his older brother leaning against the window, arms crossed, staring straight at him.
"Da-" Stefan paused mid sentence, there was someone else in the room; he turned ready to attack except he abruptly let his guard down.
There stood a woman in dark skinny jeans, black boots, and a white turtleneck. As he looked at her facial features he began to realize this was the woman who attacked Elena. She had the same black pin straight hair with bangs off to the side and pale ivory eyes. She also looked very familiar, like a lost memory.
"Do I know you?" Stefan asked. In his mind he knew the answer.
The woman walked closer to him and she reached up to brush her fingertips along his cheeks, "You look just like you're father."
Stefan backed away slightly, "How is this possible?"
Damon still hadn't spoken or moved for that matter.
"We have a lot to talk about." She stated.
"I don't believe it." Stefan said, angered.
"It's true sweetheart." She paused, "I promise. If you just let me I'll explain everything."
Stefan shook his head, "No you died, I remember. You were sick." Stefan backed away, like a puppy that just got hit.
Alice shook her head, "I wasn't sick." She pauses, "Maybe we should all discuss this in the morning?" She asks, "It's a lot to take in, I know."
Both boys' eyes meet for a split second and then Stefan speaks, "Top of the stairs, first door on you're right."
Alice replies with a sad expression but puts on a smile, "Thank you sweetheart. I'll see you both in the morning I suppose."
She leaves the room and as soon as she does Damon vampire runs out the door, he's gone a second later. Stefan is left alone in silence.
Xoxo
It was a very emotional time and both boys reacted in uncharacteristic ways. Damon, the one who usually has a comment for everything even in the hardest situations had nothing to say. Stefan handled it better but he was still shaken to the core.
Stefan inhales deeply before pulling out his phone and he calls Elena.
"Everything's fine, just a little family drama."
"Well is everything okay?"
"Yes, I though can't leave the house tonight but I need you to do my a favor."
"What kind of favor?"
"Just go to mystic grill, see if Damon's there, if he's at the bar make sure he stays there, doesn't do anything stupid."
"Stefan what aren't you telling me?"
"A lot. I'll tell you tomorrow I promise, I love you."
"I love you too."
Xoxo
He wasn't there and the bar tender said he hadn't showed up all night. The bar tender new Damon very well because this was Damon's second home away from home.
Elena rushed out into the cold air and dialed Damon's number, oddly enough it rang twice and then he answered.
"Look up."
Elena puckered here lips and glanced upward, there was Damon, comfortably sitting on top of the grill.
"What are you doing?" She shouted into the phone.
The line went dead and he jumped off the roof by that point and he was now directly in front of her. Elena gasped, "You idiot! You could have been seen!"
He shrugs, "Come to see if I'm sober?"
"Stefan was worried."
Damon's eyes flickered, "Wanna come up? It's a nice view."
Elena hesitates, "You're being nice to me? This is certainly a special occasion. We have to celebrate."
He smiles weakly, "Hold on tight." He wraps his arms around her and they shot up into the sky and land on the edge of the roof. Elena wobbles and clings to Damon's arm giggling. He doesn't laugh with her, nor was he even paying attention.
Along the horizon there were small twinkling lights afar of different towns and homes,
"Wow you're right." She says.
"Yeah." He says.
"You okay?" She asks suddenly.
"No more talking, please. Just sit with me?" Elena nodded because Damon showed vulnerability, a side she only saw rarely.
The little human and the vampire sat in silence watching the city lights.
Xoxo
Stefan was in his room but Alice decided not to bother him. What was she thinking? Visiting her sons like this, it turned them upside down. But she couldn't handle not being able to see them much longer.
She was in fact there mother and tomorrow she was going to tell them everything. After grabbing her bag from her car and heading back to her room she sat herself down on the bed and her phone went off.
Don't tell them everything. If you do all hell will break loose.
