Chapter 10

That dream I just had felt too real. I know that dreams are just merely reflected on people's subconscious. But what if this dream is more than that? What if this dream is a sign letting me know that Elena is actually Katherine? Or what if is telling me that Elena is related to Katherine and that she is the same type of person as the woman that deceived me so many years ago? I need to look into Elena's family history.

After I decided that I must get information on Elena's family history, I got dressed. I put on a black shirt, blue jeans, and black boots. After I got dressed, I realized I had not feed in a couple of days. I need to feed as soon as possible. I went down stairs and then I left the boarding house and went straight to the woods.

When I got the woods, I did not see any animals at first. But after a minute of being there, I saw a rabbit hopping toward me from a distance. I ran toward the rabbit, snatched it, and starting feeding on it. After I stopped feeding, I stopped hearing the rabbit's heartbeat. It was now dead. I wiped off the little bit of blood that was on my mouth. I started walking toward the hospital.

When I got the hospital, I went to Elena's room. Nobody was in the room. I saw a young female nurse walking past the room. I went toward her. I said "Excuse me. Where is Elena Gilbert"?

"She just got released one hour ago. She is at home now", the nurse said.

"Thank you. Forget we had this conversation. And forget you ever saw me" I told her using compulsion.

Even though Elena nor her friends and family are here, I can still get information on her family history. I walked toward the hospital's secretary office. A woman who was in her mid to late 50's was in the office. The woman had dark brown curly hair that went down to her shoulders. She was wearing blue scrubs. She had blue eyes and light skin. She was wearing a name tag that was labeled "Julia"

"Hi, Julia" I said.

"How may I help you" the woman asked me.

"I need you to make copies of Elena Gilbert's medical records as well as the records of everyone in her family that you have, and I need you to give them to me" I said compelling the woman.

"Yes, I will get you those copies. Just hold on." The woman left. She came back ten minutes later. "Here are the copies you wanted"

"Thank you very much" I said.

"You're welcome" the woman said in return.

"Forget you met me. Forget you made those copies" I told her using compulsion.

"Ok" the woman said. After she said that I turned around and walked away and left the hospital.

After I exited the hospital, I saw a bench in an area where nobody was at. I went toward the bench and sat down. I received a lot of records. I looked at Elena's records first. She has only been to the hospital a few times in her life. The first time when she went to the hospital was in 2003, when she broke her arm, because she fell. The second time she went to the hospital was back in September, when she had to get stitches. And then the third time she was in the hospital was this week.

I looked at her brother's records next. He has been to the hospital more times than Elena has been to. He has had broken bones and has received multiple stitches during his life. He seems like a very active and accident prone boy, like many young boys his age. I also looked at Elena's father's records. In his records, it indicated that he was a doctor working at Mystic Falls General. He worked at the hospital a little over twenty years.

After I looked at Jeremy's medical records, I started looking at Elena's mother records. She was born in Mystic Falls. In her records, it showed she was pregnant in 1993 and that she was carrying a boy, who was Jeremy. In the records, it did not show her being pregnant in 1992 with Elena. According to the records, Miranda only gave birth to one child, Jeremy. Miranda Gilbert is not Elena's biological mother! Elena is adopted!

I know I cannot look into Katherine's family. If somebody found out I was looking into her family, it would be like 1864 all over again. I need to keep a low profile. I cannot let people find out I am a vampire. I am aware that there is a chance I might not be able to find out if Elena is in the same bloodline as Katherine. But I can find out if she is indeed Katherine or is like Katherine by finding as much information on her as possible and observing the way she acts. I will find who Elena truly is. I will find out the type of person she really is. I hope she is the kind-hearted girl she seems to be. But if I discover she is an evil deceitful person, I will be glad that I know that before I could get hurt or something worse than that.
