Author's POV

It had been two days since Delena's disappearance. In those two days, all of them felt more lost than ever, and to add to the mixture of pain and confusion, Damon was worried about his brother. Neither he nor Katherine were answering back their calls. Bonnie's nose bleeds were getting worse while practicing, and Elena's life was basically searching for her daughter, crying and trying to tell herself Delena was fine.

Damon's POV

I knew perfectly well that if Rebecca was involved, I wasn't going to back down. I was in the woods when suddenly there was a whoosh of air, and Rebecca was behind me.

"Nice to meet you again, Damon," She smirked.

I eyed her over, and then pinned her to the nearest tree. "You were dead! I drove the dagger into your heart myself…"

She slapped my hand away.

"Hmm, yeah, about that…"

I felt a stake in my chest and suddenly darkness was the only thing I could see.

"W-where am I?" I growled as I found myself tied to a chair, the ropes soaked in vervain. I hissed in pain as she tightened the ropes around me, the vervain burning my skin like it was acid.

"Well, I think I can explain, since you're dead no matter what…"

She sighed.

"How's your daughter?"

My eyes narrowed, fury overwhelming me. "What do you know about Delena?" I spat, trying to get free. "If you touch her, I swear to God I'll rip you to shreds!"

She smiled humorlessly. "Did it ever occur to you how Elena got pregnant exactly? The fertility spell? The warning the night the restaurant blew up?"

"What are you talking about?"

"When nature isn't normal, everything happens for a reason," Rebecca smiled, playing with her fingers. "Let's just say that the doppelganger is the best supernatural creature in existence-However, she's also human. A doppelganger that remained human, even after Klaus had turned to a hybrid. The power inside of her is magnificent."

She paused for a moment.

"Let's just say I had a deal…"

"What deal, Rebecca? What have you done to my daughter?"

"Delena isn't just any child, Damon. Delena is one of the two children that exist… She is the daughter of a doppelganger and a supernatural. Their power together is unbelievable… That's what the werewolves are after. Their power. Their blood."

She looked at me blankly. "Anita Marguerite Petrova is the second child."

"Oh my God… Katherine's daughter?"

"Yes. Both Anita and Delena were created to give the Original Werewolves what they desire. Katherine's daughter's father was an original werewolf…One of the witches, Emily Bennett, did the first fertility spell in the 1400s to help him succeed in his plan. The spell worked… Katherine was pregnant. When Katherine was sent to England, Leo, the baby's father, took Anita to live with him. He soon begun to realize that with her blood he could do great things, resurrect, kill…But the main reason of this is to make werewolves immortal. The originals don't die, but the others do. When he learnt that the new doppelganger was still alive, he instantly knew that because of their blood he would be invincible."

"How could he do that to his own daughter? He isn't going to touch my baby, she's not a bloodbag…"

"Oh, there's more to hear," Rebecca said. "There might be a time where they have to be killed. Anita's been a fourteen year old ever since the 1400s. He used black magic to keep her alive, but she isn't a vampire. There can be a time where both children are killed for their blood… fought for. Also, Katherine and Elena can't survive, Damon. They both should've died in the hybrid sacrifice. They can mess things up with the werewolves."

I stared at her in disbelief. The way she told me… She was really a soulless monster. But I wasn't going to let anyone hurt my daughter and touch Elena. After over one hundred years, God blessed me with a family. I wasn't going to let some whore take them away from me, even if I had to kill everyone.

"I knew that you would try to screw it up," Rebecca continued, "But if you're going to stay here… then Elena is pretty much defenseless."

"What is your deal in this?" I spat, "Why do you care?"

"They had something I needed. Everyone has a past, Damon. Maybe someday I will tell you."

She walked away, leaving me tied to the chair, both physical and emotional pain surrounding me.

Katherine's POV

I was hurt. I was bleeding, my face was burnt and I couldn't see clearly. I was curled up in a ball in some kind of dark room, but the moment my vision cleared my unbeating heart almost stopped again.

"Aunty Katherine!"

Delena was in the other side of the room, and she was crying. I flashed to her, pulling her to me in a tight embrace. She was so scared.

"What are you doing here? Where's your daddy?" I reasoned with the child who was still crying in the crook of my neck.

"I don't know… they took me," She sobbed. "A bad man did."

"What bad man?" I asked her again, but she just shook her head.

"I don't know, aunty! I'm scared! He's scary… he wants to hurt me."

"Shh, I'm with you now. He isn't going to hurt you, baby."

"I miss mommy, I want my mommy back!"

"She will come soon," I said, hugging her again, my heart breaking.

"I'm hungry. He won't even give me water, aunty…"

Just before I could speak, the door burst open and my breath caught in my throat the moment I saw his face.

Leo.

I let out a gasp, desperate to wake up from this nightmare. But this wasn't a nightmare.

"Katarina," He said in a Bulgarian accent, and I breathed loudly, panic raising in my voice. This was the man that abused me, that got me pregnant… that because of him, I ended up in England. That because of him, I ended up running for my life for five hundred years to escape from the fate he put me in when my family sent me to Klaus.

"Leo."

"Hmm, the name Katherine suits you," He smirked. "But seriously… Aunty?"

"Leave her alone," I said sternly. "Let her go now."

He just smiled.

"You took everything from me," I said, tears escaping from my eyes. "You made me look like a whore. My family went through hell… I ended up in another country because of you. Do you even know what happened after then?"

"Yeah, curse and all," He said blankly.

I stared at him in disbelief.

"You put me through hell, Leo. And you just appear like this… what do you want from me? I am no longer your slave. I'm a vampire now and I will rip you to shreds."

"Ah, I know you would… but I'm an original werewolf, you're eager to learn what that means." He added with sarcasm.

"What have you done to Stefan?"

"Don't worry about him. He's being taken care of."

"But…"

"Katherine, I do not owe you any explanations," He leant in closer and stroked my cheek with his thumb. "Don't forget that I am much stronger than you."

I jerked away from him and he sighed.

"Would you like to meet your daughter, Katarina?"

My eyebrows rose up, my eyes flashing with tears. "You know where she is?"

"She's been with me," He stated simply.

"What?"

"She's been with me."

"All this time, she's been with you? Five hundred years and you never told her anything about me? You never came to search for me, to let me meet my daughter?" I sobbed.

He didn't say anything.

"How was she turned… I mean, who turned her?"

"She's not a vampire… I got a witch. She made a spell on her. She's 14 as long as the spell lasts. She's stuck in the body of a 14 year old."

"Who?" Delena said, looking at Leo and me.

I bit my lip.

"Well, would you like to meet Anita Marguerite Petrova?"

Elena's POV

"He's not answering his phone, Bonnie!" I said, tears trailing down my cheeks. "What are we going to do?"

I felt lost. Damon and Delena were missing. Stefan and Katherine weren't picking up their phones. Bonnie bled every time she did magic, and the rest of us were exhausted of trying to seek answers.

"Listen to me, Elena," Caroline said with an assuring voice. "I would kill to be a mother. You are my best friend, and I don't care what I have to do, but I will save your family. I won't let you lose your daughter or your husband. You can count on me on that one."

Touched by her words, I seek comfort in Caroline's wide open arms.

So, what do you think?

This chapter was mainly an explanation about why the baby is special… So I hope you liked it.
