I flung up in my bed. Breathing harder than I think I ever have. I look at the clock and see its past noon. Holy hell, I slept so late. My stomach is upset and my head is pounding. No more drinking for you Gilbert. I think to myself.
"Have a bad dream?" A voice from the window says. I turn fast making my head hurt more.
"What the hell are you doing her Damon? I thought Jeremy said you can't be here?"
"Don't worry Madison, he's at work. I dropped your car off."
"You dropped my car off? Why?" I asked in shock.
"Elena asked me to. I told her about our night out and told her you were drunk. So to get on your good side she asked me to bring your car back here." I get up from bed and realize I'm still wearing yesterday's clothes. Oh, right, I think. I was drunk and just passed out.
"Why are you in my room? Cause I wouldn't invite you in here."
"You didn't invite me in your dream either but I got in there just fine." he smirks.
"You did that?" I was really hoping it was my imagination that I dreamt that. Unfortunally, I was wrong.
"Daddy didn't tell you we can go into your dreams?" I shook my head, speechless. I grab a pair of clothes from my suitcase and head for the bathroom.
"If you don't mind I'm taking a shower. And when I get out you better not be here." I walked into the bathroom and took the longest shower possible. The dream still haunting me every time I closed my eyes. After I change into my clothes I walk down stairs for some coffee to help me get rid of my hang over.
"Feel better now?" I stop dead in my tracks in the kitchen when I see Damon is still there.
"I thought I told you to leave." I comment, as I head to the coffee pot.
"Technically you said not to be in 'here' which I thought you meant your room. So I came in here. Coffee's fresh by the way. And Elena is on her way over. She wants to talk." I make a cup of coffee as I watch him from the corner of my eye. He really is a good looking guy. If he wasn't a bloodsucking demon. I guess that's his only down fall.
"I'm not ready to talk. Where's Matt?"
"He's at the gym, and then he's seeing Tyler." He says taking a sip of coffee. "And you need to talk to her. She won't hurt you. I'm staying here just in case anything goes wrong."
"You know an awful lot about Matt's whereabouts. And what do you mean if anything goes wrong? I doubt she will hurt me. I'm just getting used to her being a vampire. Not something I thought I would have to deal with. I never had to before in this god forsaken place the first time I like lived here."
"I didn't think I had to the first time I lived here too. But guess what? Shit happens. Get over it."
"First time? You lived here as a human?"
"Born and raised. I was turned in 1864 so was Stefan. But we got along just well as vampires."
"1864? When the vampire war happened? Jonathan Gilbert locked you all away. Dad told me the history. Uncle Grayson showed me the journals."
"It was after. Your father told you a lot about this. But your uncle didn't tell your cousins, why is that?"
"How am I supposed to know? Grayson wasn't my dad. Jeff was. Maybe Uncle Grayson didn't want to scare Elena and Jeremy. I started figuring stuff out. He told me the truth." I remember the first time I learned about the vampires in this town. There wasn't any when I lived here. But dad brought me to places that had some. Just to know what I was looking for. He taught me how to fight one off if it ever came to that. He also taught me how to kill some. It made us closer as father and daughter. I remember the first time I had to kill one. It was a year after I move to New York. Some of my girlfriends were talking about the Twilight movies. They were saying how they wondered if vampires were real, and what it would be like to meet one. I laughed them all off. I knew the truth but I wouldn't tell them. I made a comment about if they were real I doubt the only way to kill it was by burning them. This vampire over heard our conversation, and started to follow me home after I left the café we were having coffee in. I felt someone behind me and turned around to see him smiling at me. I remember backing up and looking for anything in my bag. Looking at my first vampire alone with out my dad was scary. Even worse I was so scared I lost all my training. I finally found a pencil in my bag. Hoping it would work I made my way to a close ally way.
"Not smart going into an ally way little girl. Bad things can happen in them." he smirked as his face began to change. I saw his fangs slide out and his eyes become red. Just before he attacked me I stuck the pencil right into his heart. He turned gray and veiny.
"I can see that bloodsucker. Killed by a pencil. That really sucks." I smiled to my self and left
Just then a there was a knock on the door. I walked out of the kitchen to open it. There stood my little cousin with a worried look in her face.
"Why are you knocking? It's your house. I'm just the guest." I say walking away from her. "I know you want to talk Elena. But I don't feel good and I'm not ready."
"We have to soon or later Maddie. Better now before you really hate me."
"Hate you? Elena I could never hate you. I just don't like what this moron made you." I say pointing to Damon
"Moron is better than bloodsucker." I hear Damon whisper. I just turned around and glared at him
"Mind leaving us alone Salvatore?" I murmur. Damon gets up and walks into the living room.
"Maddie, please just let me explain." Elena looks so upset. It nearly breaks my heart.
"Where's there to explain Elena, you turned. You died with vampire blood in your system. And then turned into a vampire. I know the story. I just wish things were different." I turn around and start making something to eat.
"Do you honestly think I like being this? I didn't wanna finish the transition, but I didn't want to leave Jeremy by himself either. He's got no one left."
"He's got me Elena! Or did you forget I could take care of him. I'm old enough to be his guardian. He's a good kid. I'm sure I can handle him."
"I didn't know you knew about vampires. And I didn't want this on anyone else. I already lost enough people." She sat down at the island and put her face in her hands. "I hate who I am. But you don't want to hear it. You just hate that I'm a vampire."
"Yeah I do hate it Elena. You would too if roles were reversed. And what do you mean you lost enough people? Who died?" then it hits me. Jenna was supposed to be their legal guardian. But I haven't seen her or heard anyone mention her. "Elena, where's Jenna?" she looks up for her hands with tears in her eyes and I just know. "What happened?"
"She was turned and made into a scarf ice. Not by choice. She didn't want to turn. She was forced. And she died saving me." Elena burst into tears. I look at her for a moment and then just go to her. I can't stand seeing people crying. Especially my family.
"Who else Elena. I need to now what I'm getting myself into, or if I should leave now."
"Vicki Donovan, my friend Ric, Mayor Lockwood, Jeremy's friend Anna, Stefan's friend Lexi, my mother Isobel, Uncle John, Bonnie's grandmother, Caroline's father. Almost everyone here has lost someone in the last year." She says sobbing. Just then Damon walks in.
"Everyone dies Elena, vampires and humans alike." He says.
"Vicki Donovan? Matt's little sister?" I asked choking back tears. I was friends with Vicki before I left. I know she used to get into trouble, but it was so easy for her. Her dad left when they were young and her mom was never around. It was only her and Matt. "Mayor Lockwood? There is always a Lockwood at mayor. Is Tyler?" I ask
"No he's not mayor. His mother stepped up. But there is more you need to know within time. I really hope you stay Madison. Get to know me as I am now. Caroline accepted it and so did Matt and Bonnie. I hope you can too."
"Wait, hold on. Back the vampire train up for a minute. Matt and Bonnie know too? I understand Caroline. But them too?" What the fuck? Did everyone and their mothers know about this?
"You know about Caroline?" Elena looks at me with wide eyes.
"Yeah, I saw her last night at the Grill with Bonnie. Fang boy over there told me he turned her last night. How do Matt and Bonnie know?" Elena goes into the whole story, about how Bonnie is a Bennett witch and how Matt found out from Caroline.
"So vampires, werewolves and witches, all living in Mystic Falls?" I ask sitting down paralyzed. Just then the door flies open and in walks Jeremy.
"Get out! Elena you know you cant be here. And Damon I kicked you out last night! Get the hell out of this house!" Jeremy screams. He goes over to the closet in the kitchen and holds up a cross bow. Next thing I know, he's shooting it off. I hear a loud bam and I scream.
