Children of the Damned

Parker sat in her hospital bed with Damon on the seat next to her. He had filled her in on everything that happened at the dance, seeming as she was off wondering places unknown. After Damon explained what happened parker thanked him for keeping her little sister safe.

"The last time I saw Jonathan's journal my dad was putting it away, that was when I was sixteen. He gave me the journal to read because I was old enough to know about the council." Parker explained looking at Damon.

"Do you remember anything about Emily in it?" Damon asked with a hopeful look.

"Not off the top of my head, but if I remember anything I'll tell you." Parker said before a nurse came in.

"Sorry but it's time for you to leave now. She will be released in a couple of hours." The nurse said hurrying Damon out of the room. "Now you need to eat something."

"Ok Sam," Parker said looking at her high school 'friend'.

"Eat," Sam said pointing at a food tray in front of Parker before walking out of the room.

Few hours later Parker sat on her hospital bed back in her regular clothes, Sara was talking to Sam as she signed her discharge papers. Once they were all ready to leave Parker and Sara left with a quick goodbye to Sam. In Parkers' car they started to drive to the Gilbert house, they decided to have a family night in celebration of her leaving the hospital.

"Jenna said you didn't have to come, she said if you were to tired you should go home." Sara said as they pulled into the Gilbert driveway.

"Sara, I'm fine." Parker said getting out of the car and waling up the porch and straight into the house.

Silently Parker walked to the kitchen where she could hear Damon, Stefan, and Elena talking. At her entrance to the kitchen they stopped their conversation to hug and greet her. Once that was established they went back to their conversation.

"Wait, so where's the journal?" Parker asked looking between them.

"We can't find it," Elena said before realizing that was a stupid thing to say.

"You can't find the journal? One of the most important things in our family history." Parker said glaring at them.

"We'll find it," Elena said reassuringly.

"Oh you better," Parker said before walking out of the room and up the stairs to her room.

Inside her almost empty room Parker lifted up a floor board in her bedroom closet and pulled out a box with a 'G' engraved onto the top. Opening the box Parker let a single tear fall as she looked at the picture of her standing next to her dad and mom in her cap and gown. Since she didn't get to go through the high school ceremony her family made extra effort to celebrate her college graduation. As she looked at the picture Parker didn't hear as her aunt Jenna entered the room.

"I remember taking that picture, it was the last one of you with your parents." Jenna said crouching down next to her and wiping away the tears.

"I miss them," Parker admitted as she started to move stuff in the box. Smiling as she pulled out a chain with two wedding rings on it.

"I thought they got buried with them," Jenna said looking at her sister and brother-in-laws wedding rings.

"They had two sets of wedding rings, they gave me the original set when they got the new set." Parker said looking at the rings. "I won't need them, but they still gave them to me anyway."

"Park are you really okay?" Jenna asked sitting next to her.

"The man that I draw, the one from my dreams is dead. I did some research and I found out I wasn't just imagining a man, he was real." Parker said as tears fell from her eyes.

"What else did you find?" Jenna asked remembering her nieces drawings and dreams.

"Just that, why don't you go down stairs." Parker said giving her the 'I want to be alone' look.

After Jenna left her room Parker dug deeper into the hiding space and pulled out a large file. Opening it she skimmed pages until she got to the page that she wanted. Looking through the section she quickly got up and ran to her sisters room to find no one in it. But sitting on the window seat was copies of the journal. Throwing the papers to the ground Parker ran downstairs to see only Jenna and Sara.

"Did Elena and Stefan go somewhere?" Parker asked looking at her aunt and her friend.

"Yeah, don't know were why?" Sara asked as Parker grabbed her car keys form Sara's coat.

"I'll see you later." Parker said running outside ignoring the protests about her just getting out of the hospital.

As she drove Parker thought over every gravesite that belonged to the founders. Turning down a couple roads into the woods Parker stopped next to non-other than Damon's car. Getting out of the car she ran in the direction that she could feel a buzzing coming from. It was the first time since she passed out that the buzzing had returned, and this was the one time she was grateful for it. Parker stopped in her tracks at the sight of her sister with blood on her mouth carefully going to Stefan away from Damon.

"Dumbass," Parker muttered as somehow her sister and Stefan left quickly without noticing her.

"Dumbass," Parker said walking to Damon who was looking in his father's grave.

"What are you doing her Parker?" Damon said turning to look at her still holding the spell book.

"Oh you know, just thought I'd go for a walk, maybe dig up a grave. Too bad Stefan and Elena already did it, there goes my nights plans." Parker said nonchalantly as she walked to the grave.

"Aren't you mad at me for almost turning your sister into a vampire?" Damon asked looking at Parker.

"A little, but hey I figure it's going to happen eventually anyway since they're you know, dating." Parker said with a shrug causing Damon to laugh at her calmness.

"You are interesting," Damon said laughing before leaving.

"God damn it, they just left the person who got out of the hospital earlier this morning to fill in the grave. They are all a bunch of JACKASSES." Parker said screaming the last part.

Muttering under her breath Parker picked up a shovel and started to throw dirt into the hole. After about the fifth shovel of dirt Parker noticed something was slightly sticking out of the coffin. Jumping down into the grave Parker opened the noticing a small box next to his head. Grabbing the box about the size of a small jewelry box, Parker softly closed the lid seeing it close properly she climbed out of the hole and started to throw in more dirt.

By the time she filled the grave back up the torches had mostly gone out and she could barely see. Picking up the small box Parker started back to her car.
