NicoleR85 thank you so much for your review. for now the main focus will be in the Vampire Diaries world but I would like to make at some point a true crossover but for now it only be in the pass (and her mother who is going to be a mutant also) but you're welcome to give your ideas I would love it

Chapter 10

Elena is putting away clothes in her drawer. As both, Stefan and I just sit in her bedroom. She calls us to tell the news about her birthmother.

"Alaric's wife might have been your mother?" I tell her shocked.

"It can't be true, right? I mean, the coincidence alone is just crazy." She turns around to look at us and says. "I have the address for her friend Trudie."

"You wanna talk to her." I tell her and she nods.

"I don't know. I... I-I don't know. If it's true and they are the same person, that means that my birth mother is dead, and I don't know if I could handle that." Stefan and I look at each other and them back Stefan and I look at each other and them back

"Elena, did Jenna tell you anything about Alaric's wife? How she died?"

"Just that she was killed and the case was never solved."

Stefan and I nod already knowing that it has happen, Elena looks at us surprised.

"You knew that already?"

"The night at the school when he attacked me, he told me some things about her death."

"Well—"

"No, no." Stefan interrupts her thoughts and gently grabs her wrists. "It's not possible."

"Stefan is right Lena. The coincidence is—it's too much. Now, listen, if you do decide to go talk to Isobel's friend, I'll go with you. Ok?"

"I just don't know what I'm gonna do yet." I nod understand and Elena wraps her arms around Stefan I look away for the lovingly couple moment.

"I should get going. I gotta go deal with Damon."

"How's he doing?" I ask him

"He's dealing in his own way." I say and he leaves living me with Elena as she looked at me. "What?"

"New Necklace?" Elena asks me and I look down touching the necklace.

24 of December

I return home after the spending Christmas with Jenna, Elena and Jeremy and I and I find a little box at the door I get it and went the house reading the little card.

Now you are protected from the bad vampires. Merry Christmas. Damon

I open and I see a beautiful pendant necklace and I smelt it sensing the vervain and I smile at the card.

"It was a present." I tell her and she nods.

"Can you go with me? To Trudie's?"

"Sure."

Elena holds up the Post-It note with Trudie's address and that matches her house in front of us

We walk up to the front door and Elena prepares to knock, but hesitates for a moment. So I knock on the door her. We wait a bit and then Elena shakes her head and turns away when Trudie answers the door making her turn.

"Trudie? Tru-trudie Peterson?"

"Yes?"

"Uh, my name is Elena Gilbert. I wanted to talk to you about Isobel Flemming."

"Well, I haven't heard that name in years. How do you know her?"

"I think that, um, well..."

"Do you know if she had a baby that she gave up for adoption?" I ask her since Elena can make a sentence.

"My god. You're her daughter." She says and I can see her laughing. "I was just gonna make some tea. Would you like some?"

"Sure. Oh this is my sister Sofia." I smile nicely at the woman who smiles back.

"Uh, the kitchen's this way."

"I wasn't gonna come. I didn't think I was, but I was driving, and I hit this stoplight, and it made me think about when I was learning how to drive and then my mom would always warn me about this blind turn on the left-hand side, and then I was thinking about my mom, and—I had your address. I'm sorry for barging in."

"It's no problem. Um, just a surprise, though."

She says and we all sit in the chairs around the table.

"I haven't thought about Isobel in years."

"When was the last time you saw her?" I ask her since Elena was still very shy about it.

"About 17 years ago, when she left to go have you. We kept in touch for a while, but, well, you know, people drift apart."

"And you don't know where she ended up?" I ask her even if I knew the answer but Elena didn't.

"She was in Florida for a while. She was on her own. I know it wasn't easy."

"Do you have any idea who my father is?"

"I could never get her to fess up. Anyway, she finally pulled it together, got into college on a scholarship."

"Where did she go?"

"Somewhere in North Carolina. Duke, I think. Smart girl, smart school."

"Let me just grab that." She says as we heard the whistling from coming from the kitchen."

"Ah. They came to the games for us. The football team hadn't won in years. We were the stars. Well, Izzie was. But I was a damn good backup." Trudie says pointing to a picture.

"Heh. This is great. Thank you."

"You're welcome." Then she looks at me and says. "You haven't touched your tea."

"Oh. Yeah." As I drink the tea I feel the familiar smell.

"What is this?"

"Oh, it's just some herbal mixture."

"Vervain?" I ask her but she doesn't respond.

"You know." Elena says

"Know what?"

"You didn't invite us in, and you're serving vervain tea. You know." At my accusation the woman stand up.

"I think that you should probably leave."

"Wait. What are you not telling me?" Elena asks but I had some ideas of what might be.

"Please leave. Now!"

We do what she said as we walk to the car and I drive us back home.

I decide to clear some things with Stefan about what happen so I call his name as I enter his room.

"Stefan."

"Better. Me." A shirtless Damon walks in the bedroom and I had to hold my breath.

"You look, um..." Damn it, those abs.

"Dashing? Gorgeous? Irresistible?" He says coming and my direction and closing the space between yes as I try to push him back not being able to not look at his chest and that makes is come even closer.

"Wrecked. You look wrecked."

"No reason why. Do you know that I am one of Mystic Falls' most eligible bachelors?"

"Huh." I say trying to look at his face not at this shirtless body.

"Yep."

"How are you doing?"

"Never better. Yep." He says putting his shirt on. Thank god this way I can actually stop staring. What is with me it's not like I haven't seen amazing abs.

"What can I do for you? I'm a barrel of favors today. It's my newfound purpose - how can I help people?"

"I'm just meeting Stefan. We're going to the fundraiser since Elena is already there." I see him struggle to button up his shirt. I think it is because of the alcohol he consumed since he's breathing give that away the minute he started to speak.

"Help a guy out, will you? Can't get this." I sigh and walk over to him as I being to buttoning it so that I can actually stop staring. I decide to make conversation to get this abs out of my head.

"So Elena found out who her birth mother is."

"Eccch. Who cares?" I look at him confused and I bit hurt, since Elena and him were friends our something like it.

"She left her. She sucks." That I had to agree with him I turn and I see Stefan looking at us with a curious look.

"Stefan. There you are. Need to talk to you."

"Uhh. I need a bigger jacket. Wow. You know, an occasional sorority girl might, um, you know, help fill you out a little bit." He tells as he throws the jacket in the bed leaving the room but not before saying. "Nice necklace."

"He's fine."

"He's Damon."

"Maybe this heartache will be good for him. It'll remind him that he has one, even if it doesn't beat."

"Won't hold my breath." He tells me and we laugh.

"So Elena and I went to see Trudie Peterson."

"How was it?"

"She has vervain. She knows about vampire stuff, and it can't be a coincidence, Stefan."

"It isn't. This is Alaric's wife." He says showing me the picture.

"This is her. This is Isobel. He gave this to you?"

"We need to tell Elena that Alaric believes a vampire kill his wife."

"I will tell her. I was going to meet her anyway."

"Come on I will give you a ride."

"You're ok?" He asks me as we get into my car.

"Why shouldn't I be?"

"I don't know you been off lately."

"Nah. I'm fine."

"Oh, my god." Elena says sitting on her couch as Stefan holds her and I stand up in front of them.

"Listen, Elena, there's a lot about Isobel that Alaric can tell you, but I need you to hold off a little while before you talk to him."

"Why?"

"I know that it's a lot to ask of you, but will you do that for us?" I decide to speak this time and he nods as Stefan and I look at each other. This is going to be hard.

"Where'd our girlfriend go?" Damon asks and I give him a dirty look as he starts to put his arms around me and I fail trying to move it from my shoulder.

"She's on her way to the Grill. I, uh, wanted to talk to you."

"We wanted to talk to you." I tell him and he looks at me.

"I didn't' knew there was a 'we'? Does Elena know?" he asks and I roll my eyes as Stefan pulls the picture of Isobel and hands it to his brother.

"This is the woman, Isobel, from North Carolina. Remember her now?"

"Who wants to know?"

"I do." I tell him with a look at says you better start speaking.

"Who else wants to know?"

"Me. So did you kill her?"

"Don't know her." He says and I didn't believe a bit he moves a bit trying to take me with him but I don't move and so doesn't Stefan.

"Hey, are you coming? The Real Housewives of Mystic Falls await." He tells me with a smirk. "Are you sure you don't want to try and get a date with me?"

"I don't pay for dates." I tell him and he smirks leaving us. "Did you believe him?"

"No."

"Neither did I. So what do we do?"

"We wait and see."

"Stefan, doing nothing is not really my thing." I protest but he just ignores me.

"Oh, yeah. L.A., New York. Couple of years ago, I was in North Carolina. Near the Duke campus, actually. I think—I think Alaric went to school there. Didn't you, Ric?" Stefan and I look at each other and for the look he gave me we both knew this wasn't going to end up well. "Yeah, 'cause I- I know your wife did." I look at Elena and I see her face starting to falter and Stefan comes to our side. "I had a drink with her once. She was—she was a great girl. I ever tell you that? Cause she was - Delicious. Mmm! Mmm mmm mmm." I see Elena with tears in her eyes and I gave her a little smile.

"Are you ok?" Jenna asks her.

"I just need some air." She says leaving and Stefan follows her.

"Whoa. Easy there. Buy a ticket like everyone else." Damon tells me when I bump into him and I really wanted to slap him hard.

"Did you enjoy that? Rubbing it in to Alaric Saltzman?"

"What?"

"Just as I was starting to think that there was something redeemable about you."

"Sofia." Stefan says appearing and Damon look between both of us.

"Am I missing something here?"

"Did I forget to mention earlier when we were talking about Elena's birth mother? The one that gave her up?"

"Mm-hm."

"Her name was Isobel." Now it's Damon's face that falters. "Go ahead. Reminisce about how you killed her."

"I turned her."

"Why?" I say with my arms cross leaning against the entrance of the living room as both man turn to me surprised. "I figure it out I could come here to get some answers. So, please, start speaking." I say hitting the sarcasm when I said please.

"She came to me. All pathetic, looking for vampires. There was something about her, something I liked. There was something special."

"You turned her because you liked her?" Alaric asks her but I doubt.

"No, I slept with her because I liked her. I turned her because she begged me to. Yeah. But you knew that, too, didn't you? Hmm. I guess she wasn't happy at home, wasn't happy with life in general, wasn't happy with you." I see Alaric rushing over Damon to stab him but it Damon who stabs him.

"DAMON." I scream running to him trying to see if there was anything I could so to make it better as I used all my knowledge about med but it wasn't working.

"Ah, this is a shame. We're kindred spirits, abandoned by the women we love." I look at Damon with pain in my eyes. "Sorry and the man you love, of course. Well. Unrequited love sucks." He takes the stake from his chest and when Alaric's wheezes I knew he wasn't going to make it.

"Sounds like I got a lung. Which means I get to sit here and watch you die." I see him grabbing a drink and I try to help Alaric but when he takes his last breath anger comes at me and I walk to Damon taking the glass from his hands and breaking it once I throw it at the floor at the same time I kick him with my leg making him fall on the ground as I hold him there with my heel on his chest and I could see the shock in his face.

"You think you are so powerful, that just because you didn't got what you wanted people around you also can't. So let me spill for you. It doesn't work that way. Go head kill people, kill me, it won't make it better, making other people surfer won't bring her back."

"And you think being the goody girl you clearly aren't is going to bring him back?" He asks with some anger as I took of my leg and I noticed something else in his eyes. Maybe wonder.

"No but at least I have the pain to leave throw it, you don't have anything. Nice kick." Damon came more close to me our bodies almost touching but then I hear a voice and we pull back.

"What happened? What did you do?" Stefan says coming in noticing the scene.

"Do what? He attacked me."

"Damon." He says disapproving.

"All I did was tell him the truth. His wife didn't want him anymore. It's not my fault he couldn't handle it."

"Like you've been handling Katherine?" I tell him with anger. I really need to hit something or I would be hitting him again.

"I'm handling it fine. You know what? Isobel came to me. She found me. And if she's related to Elena, that means she's related to Katherine. Maybe Katherine sent her to me." Has he serious?

"Stop it. You don't have to keep looking."

"Can't be a coincidence Isobel sought me out. Mm-mmm. Can't. I'm assuming you'll take care of this." He says not pointing to Alaric as he leaves the room and I sit next to Alaric body exhausted mentally but with anger all over me. I see Alaric fingers move and I look at him shocked.

"Stefan." I say and instantly he is next to me as the teacher gasps coming back to life.

"What happened? What's going on?"

"You were just... Did Damon turn you?"

"No. I - I went for him and then he, uh- he stabbed me."

"No, no, no. You must have vampire blood in your system. Somebody slipped it to you."

"No. It's, uh, it's something else."

"Then how?" I ask him and Alaric looks at his ring on his right hand.

"Isobel."
