Okay, here's the next scene. Not my best work, but it was necessary to clear up the mess that was Mystic Falls 5 years ago. This one takes place the same time the last one did. I hope you'll like it nevertheless. It's not as sad as the last one.

And as a special treat, the next one will be up tomorrow ;)

Mystic Falls

Branches swished by his face left and right as he was running through the night. Behind him, he could hear her chuckle. A menacing, playful chuckle. Just by listening to it, you would never guess that it was a child he was dealing with. And damn, was she fast! He took a quick right turn and hurried down the ancient stairs that led to the Lockwood cellar. Without closing the door behind him, he stormed inside and hid behind a few barrels. Little footsteps came closer, before they stopped in the middle of the room.

"I can hear you breathe, you know?" the little girl chimed. He held his breath. "And now I can hear your heartbeat. Just give up, I'm faster than you!" she yelled and suddenly, the barrels where thrown aside and he looked at the little girl, blonde, evangelic curls hanging down the side of her face and a look of excitement making her eyes sparkle. "Got ya!" she said before throwing herself into his arms. The fearful look on his face vanished and he hugged his little baby girl hybrid.

"You're a force of nature, Lily, you know that?" he laughed. She cuddled against him and played with the buttons on his shirt. At that moment, her mother entered the cellar. She always ran a bit behind on their nightly trips to make sure that the girl didn't get hurt. Her existence was a secret, and once people found out, it was all over. She shot the two of them a winning smile.

"Let's get home, dawn's breaking," she said.

"But Mommy, I'm still hungry! Can't I have another fox?" the girl pleaded. Caroline walked over and helped her up.

"Alright, but only just one. Come on!" she said and the two of them vanished within seconds. He stared after them and got up slowly. When she had told him that she was pregnant, he thought it was a joke. How was it even possible? He had thought his world would crash down. But luckily, Henry was around. He did some digging and found out that he was from a very ancient line of werewolves, probably also the one that Klaus' father had belonged to. When Lily was born, they gave her human blood, but she nearly died. That was until they figured out what she needed. Elena's blood. After that, they never gave her human blood to drink again, just animal blood. And she was a normal child. Besides the superhuman strength and speed. And the shifting into a werewolf by choice. But that Lily didn't like. As she once said herself "Daddy, I think I'm a cat-person." For now, their world was alright. They would take it step by step, day for day. Nothing could tear them apart anymore.

While leaving the cellar and returning to their home, he passed the cemetery and briefly paused at his parent's grave. His mother was killed 2 years ago. By a vampire, of course – and not just a vampire, no, Damon Salvatore, the one that had already killed Mason, took away the only parent he had left. He had sworn revenge, and would he ever dare to show his face in Mystic Falls again, he was a more than undead man.

DUMDUMDUMDUUUUM! will Damon ever return to Mystic Falls and risk revenge? You'll find out soon ;)
