Author's Note: I know it has been FOREVER since I have updated, but my old computer broke, it took a while to get a new one, and I had to start all over on this chapter. I am super sorry, and I hope no one gave up on this story because I am taking so long with it. I have a new story up on here for the Vampire Diaries called "The Living Curse" check it out please! I do not own The Vampire Diaries or Twilight!

Lena's Point of View

I had only taken two steps down the stone lined hallway when I ran into Alec's rock hard shoulder with my head. "Ow!" I said laughing the note temporarily forgotten. He asked if I was okay and I nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine, but look at this." I said handing him the letter from my mother. He read it and looked back at me with a worried expression on his face.

"You are not going to visit her." He said in an extremely annoying, demanding voice.

I narrowed my eyes at him, "You of all people should know that I do not follow orders!" He looked slightly hurt at my outburst, but I ignored it and continued down the hallway to find my brothers. I twisted and turned down many confusing hallways until I heard a voice coming through the door on my right that sounded just like Damon. I knocked on the door and Damon answered half a second later and pulled me into the room. Stefan was there too, sitting on the bed looking just as brooding as ever.

"I got a note from our magnificent mother," I said my voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Let me see it," Damon said. I handed him the now crumpled note. He read quickly, "When are we leaving?"

I smiled, "Right now. You in Stefan?" He nodded though he had no idea what he was in on. I smiled again and handed Stefan the letter. He looked over it and stared apprehensively at me.

"I will go, but we really should be careful." Stefan said in his annoying mature voice. Damon and I rolled our eyes but didn't say anything.

"Well, the sooner we leave the better, so everyone ready to leave?" I said. Damon nodded immediately, but Stefan looked cautious but eventually followed Damon and I out the door. I saw Alec in the hall, but he didn't try to talk to me and I didn't want him to. I brushed past him with my brothers following silently behind me. Stefan gave me a knowing look but I glared at him and made him look away. We walked in a comfortable silence until Damon told us he knew the door was around the next corner. Stefan and I nodded and followed him.

"Where do you think you are going?" Aro said blocking our path to the door.

"We were just going to visit somewhere. We will be back soon," Stefan said in an innocent sounding voice. Aro didn't look like he believed us and I didn't really blame him. Stefan may be trustworthy, but Damon and I were definitely not. Damon and I were also pretty persuasive and could talk Stefan into almost everything.

"Well, you can walk around here," Aro said gesturing to the dim room around us.

"No thanks," Damon said stepping towards Aro and hitting him hard enough to knock him out. (I KNOW VAMPIRES CAN'T BE KNOCKED OUT, BUT FOR THIS STORY THEY CAN!)

"Nice!" I said to Damon laughing. He smirked at me. We stepped around Aro and out the door. In the harsh sunlight of outside we all squinted. I was so happy we had our lapis lazuli rings. Stefan looked down the road and pointed to, what looked like, and abandoned warehouse like our wonderful mother had mentioned.

"Well, let's go meet the wicked witch of the west!" I said walking down the cobblestone road towards it. I heard Damon and Stefan soft footsteps behind me.

When I pushed open the almost completely broken door, I was greeted by my mother's smiling face. The smile she had made me either want to hit her, which I always wanted to do, or be sick.

"So glad you got my note," She said in a sickly sweet voice that I knew had to be fake.

Me, being the person I was, couldn't just pretend to be all mother-daughter with this woman. I just had to open my big mouth, "Oh, yes we did get your note. We loved it just as much as we love you. You are an amazing person and don't listen when people call you sneaky, deceitful, untrustworthy, or dishonest." I could tell she detected the heavy sarcasm in my voice because her once smiling face twisted into a mask of pure hatred.

"How dare you speak to your mother in that manor?" She shrieked before lunging at my throat.
