Chapter Nine
"You're willing to go back to the damn cell to be experimented for the serum?" Enzo scoffs. He drinks up his liquor. "What is it that you don't tell me about Caitlin Snow, mate?"
Damon puts his cellphone back to his inside pocket of his jacket after checking a text from Caitlin Snow. "Just let me what I need to do. It won't take too long. She's potentially holding the key to free us from this evil. Don't you want to go back to normal?"
Enzo chuckles. "Is being a vampire even normal to you?" he pats Damon's shoulder. "I happen to like us like this? Don't you? We're ruling the city. We're limitless. We can even go to New Orleans. With our power we can take the city just in time New Orleans is becoming a warzone."
"Remember what you come here for, Lorenzo. You're looking for your missing brother. Your parents would want the St. John brothers to stand together." Damon takes a flat bottle from another inside pocket of his jacket.
"And about New Orleans, I'm going to go there to guard Caitlin Snow. Don't dry up Mystic Falls while I'm gone. We'll have some blood hunting when I'm back." He drinks from that flat bottle.
Enzo smirks. "Can't promise that. If you're not back soon, Mystic Falls might turn into a dead town with only Vampires roaming."
"That won't happen. You got the Augustine and some undercover hunters." Damon pats his chest. "So get comfortable."
Enzo read a letter with a picture of two boys attached in that letter. His father had abandoned him for years and only came back that day to give him that letter. In that letter his father told him the truth about his mother and long lost brother.
All this time, he had believed his mother didn't want him. His parents were divorced. His mother wanted to take him with her too but his father didn't let her take both of them. His father wanted equal share and chose Enzo to live with him. He didn't let his mother to see him and sent her with his brother to America where his mother's ancestors came from.
His father abandoned him a year after his parents were separated. His aunt took him with her when he was only six. He didn't know he had an aunt until she came for him from Spain. Two years later, his aunt got in accident and in coma for almost a year. He had to take of her even after she had awakened because she had to take rest for months after the coma.
"Do you really have to go?" his aunt came to sit next to him on the couch. "I am really sorry, Lorenzo. I didn't know that your father had lied. He told me your mother wanted to give you up because she didn't plan to have a second child. I should've believed it when you keep telling me that he abandoned you. I blindly trusted him because he's my own brother."
Enzo took his aunt's hand on his hands. "Don't feel that way, aunt Italy. You've taken care of in the best way possible. I don't know what I'd be if you didn't take me with you."
"Maybe you should just wait till you're old enough to travel alone out of country. America is on the other side of the world. You don't know what's going to happen or how you will find your mother and brother."
Enzo looked into his aunt's eyes with determination. He wanted her to know that he needed to go. He really wanted to find his mother and brother before it's too late. He's at the age of 18 at that time. He thought he's ready.
"There's an address and their complete name in this letter. It should be easy for me to find them. Once I tell them who I am and show them this picture, they will know it's me."
Enzo keeps a picture of two boys in the inside pocket of his jacket near his heart. One of those boys is him when he was about five and the other boy was his brother who's only three years older than him. He's always kept that picture since he was 18, hoping to find his family but until today he's wandered around every city in the USA and he hasn't found them. Mystic Falls was where her mother ancestors were supposed to be. That's why he's staying in town. Besides Damon and he are like brothers ever since they have no family left on their own. Damon took him in his house which is too big for himself.
While Damon is gone, Enzo has been busy looking for information of any new residents in Mystic Falls. He's not giving up on his family. He keeps records to all the people in town and updating himself with any information. He'd found two families have their information confidential, The Snow and The Frank. He's not surprised that The Snow is confidential, they're the Augustine. Augustine keeps all information of the important family members as secrets. But the Frank, he doesn't get why the information doesn't seem complete and some are even confidential.
Enzo grunts. He throws all the documents and gets up. All those information are a dead end. There's no more Frank in Mystic Falls. Their last record of that Family was like twenty years ago. He's feeling hungry for blood. Enzo is going out because he can't find any blood stock in their house and he really needs some. He hasn't dried up anybody for the past few days and it's killing him.
He's going to some college party out of Mystic Falls. He loves to go hunting for blood in some party where there are some careless people. Plus he doesn't need to be invited to get into the building.
As he gets into the party, he finds that it's not the usual party where he'd get fun with blood. He sees that it's more like gathering party for the alumni from class 2011. He stops at the hall entrance and thinks that he gets the date wrong. Fortunately he had drunk some from a random guy he found on his way to that place.
"Oh sorry!" a woman stumbles onto him. He turns around and finds an olive skinned woman in dark green dress that looks so catching for him.
Enzo smiles. "It was my fault. I'm standing in your way." He curses under his breath, knowing that he doesn't wear the proper clothes to get in the party. His grey shirt and black jeans don't match this kind of formal gathering party.
It's like there's something in that woman that gets him staring, probably that warm smile she's showing. "I was looking for a friend, said that she'd be in a party but I think I got in the wrong place."
"Well I hope you find your friend." That woman says before she leaves.
Enzo stops her right away and they move aside from the entrance. "Uh, wait. What's your name? I have never seen you before." She just chuckles, thinking that's a little weird that he says that. "Well I've been here for so long and you know, it's a small town, everybody knows everybody."
"But I'm not from here. Very close but this isn't my town. I'm coming here for this party. Okay why don't you tell me yours first? It's fair that way if you want to know mine."
He just realizes he's not in Mystic Falls. "Enzo."
"It's Rachelle, nice to meet you Enzo but I really have to get inside. And I think your friend might be waiting for you at some place."
"Pleasure is mine. Okay I'll see you later, hopefully, Rachelle." Enzo still stands while he's watching her gets inside the hall. When he's about to walk away, he suddenly stops at the mention of a name inside those hall. "Rachelle Frank! How's life?"
"She's from the Frank family." Enzo whispers. He can't believe he just met a Frank whom he's been looking for the whole day.
