Alicia let out a loud scream.

Stefan, who was only a few steps away from the room, whipped around and ran into the room with Damon close behind.

Alicia stood staring, she couldn't believe her eyes.

How is that possible? I saw her die!

The figure that stood on the other side of the glass was no other than her own mother.

Alicia knew this was her mother, but something was telling her to keep her distance.

Alicia's mother's face twisted in rage as she looked at something past Alicia.

Stefan was confused, but he knew one thing, that the woman glaring at him was a vampire. He could sense his brother's growing rage as he pushed past him.

" She just doesn't want to die, does she?" Damon muttered walking forward and stopping in front of a very scared Alicia.

This is just too much for a four-year-old to handle. Stefan thought, poor little thing...

" You." Alicia's mother growled, " give me my child!"

" That's not going to happen." Damon said, a twinge of guilt surfaced but he pushed it back down.

" Stefan, take Alicia into the other room."

Alicia whimpered, what's going on?

Stefan grabbed Alicia by the arm pits and carried her out of the room. Alicia gave Stefan a very confused look.

That was her mother, but, she's different...

Stefan looked down at the small child, her eyes showed confusion but mostly sadness.

A child this young shouldn't be exposed to this kind of stuff....

" You bastard!" Sarah screamed at Damon who gave her a hard stare, " You kill me and my husband, but take my child, my baby." She bared her fangs, " If you won't give me her than I'll take her by force."

Damon smirked, " What makes you think that I'll let you within a foot of her?"

Sarah disappeared and then appeared in front of Damon, " Why didn't you just kill her? It didn't seem so hard for you to kill Mark and me."

Damon grabbed the front of her jacket and slammed her against the wall, " Leave, or I will make it my job to stake you."

Sarah sneered, " Fine, but the next time I show up I'm not leaving until I have Alicia."

Damon narrowed his eyes, before he could say anything, Sarah was gone.

Alicia sat on the couch leaning on Stefan, she was very confused, she wished someone would just explain all of this to her.

She was tired of feeling lost and confused.

She just saw her 'dead' mother! But all everybody tells her that she's safe and that it's alright.

But Alicia knows that its not alright.

She just found out this morning that Damon had killed her parents for crying out loud!

Stefan watched Alicia as she fought her inner battle, out of all the things Damon has done, this took the cake.

Alicia looked up at Stefan,

Stefan gave her a small smile, " your going to be fine."

Alicia shook her head, " No, not fine." she said frowning, " tell the truth."

Stefan shook his head, " I'm sorry, Alicia that you have to deal with all of this."

Alicia gave him a dull stare as he continued, " and I know that you must be angry about all of this, but just say the word and I'll take you away from here."

Alicia paused, Is...is Damon okay?

Stefan smiled slightly, " I'm sure he'll be okay."

Alicia smiled, spite what she's been through, it amazed Stefan that she could smile.

Damon watched as Stefan and Alicia talked, he some how knew that Alicia will forgive him.

She just needs time.
