FINAL CHAPTER! ~Kat

(St. Petersburg, Russia)

Sofia stepped out of the car. She closed the door and headed towards the gates. She pulled her coat closer to keep the cold away. She walked down an old and worn path. She looked around as she walked. When she reached the end of the path she stopped and looked to the left. Sitting in the dying grass was a tombstone. She knelt down in front of it and dusted it off. She smiled a sad smile as she placed the flowers in front of the stone.

"Miss you momma and daddy," she said.

"You related to them?" asked someone. "Can't say I've ever seen anyone come to this stone."

"Sofia looked up at the person next to her.

"Something like that," she said.

The man eyed her carefully. "Can't be possible."

"And why is that?" she asked.

"They had one kid and she's buried right there next to them," he replied.

"That is my momma and daddy," she said letter her face vamp out. "You did not see me here. You will not remember this conversation."

As the man left she looked back at the tombstones. He was right. Hers was right next to her parent's.

Beloved Daughter

"What is wrong, beautiful?" asked Klaus.

"They buried me," she said with sadness. "They brought a coffin here and buried me. I'm dead. Not missing, just dead."

Klaus stared at her confused. He'd never seen her like this.

"There was no search party. No looking for me. Didn't find a body. Just said I was dead," she said trying not to cry. "And it's your fault."

"My fault?" he asked.

"Yeah. You took me away and made me this monster!" she shouted. You were the one who turned me! You killed my mother! It's all your fault I'm dead!"

Sofia was beating on Klaus' chest. She wasn't doing a damned thing to him and she didn't feel any better. She huffed and blurred out of the cemetery. Klaus just stood there looking at the tombstones.

(Mystic Falls)

Damon was in the library staring at the fire when Elena walked in. She dropped a letter in his lap before she left the house. Damon looked at the envelope. There was no return address, but he knew that handwriting. He tore the envelope open and read the letter.

Dearest Damon,
I'm sorry I left like I did. Klaus told me not to tell you. More like compelled me no to, but whatever. I'm going to see my family and then I am coming back. We've got a lot of catching up to do.
Lots of Love,
~Sofia

Damon looked at the date on the letter. Three days ago. He had at least another day before she would show up. As he grabbed the bottle off the table it disappeared from his hand. He looked at the couch next to him. Sitting on the couch was Sofia.

"Got my letter, I see," she said smiling.

"Yeah," he said. "What are you…"

"Shut up," she said standing up.

Damon was going to complain when she kissed him. Damon dropped the letter and pulled her closer. Sofia pulled back slightly to look at him.

"I realized whom I wanted more," she said. "And it will always be you," she said kissing him.

Mystic Falls 1863

Damon and Sofia were lying in bed, the storm forgotten. Sofia had the covers pulled up to her chin. Her head was lying on his chest and his arm was wrapped around her.

"Sofia…" he started. "I love you. I have since the day I first saw you. And I will until the day I die."

"I love you too, Damon," she said kissing his cheek. "And I do not regret this. I'm glad its you who has my virtue."

"I'm going to make an honest woman of you," he said. "I'm gonna marry you."

"I will hold you to that, Mr. Salvatore," she said smiling.

"Until the day I die," he said kissing her again.
