"Family is complicated to say the least. For better, or for worse…. Isn't that the truth? Well, at least it is for me."

"Abigail Bennett! What do you think you are doing?!" Sheila Bennett questioned her grown up daughter as she followed her down the steps of an old crypt in the cemetery of their hometown of Mystic Falls.
