"Wow! What a family reunion this is!" Isabel chuckled. "Yeah, I never knew my little brother had kept you company." Damon smiled, putting his arm around Stefan's shoulder. "Well, actually he just came in this morning so, he's actually been keeping company to himself." Isabel laughed. "Well I better go unpack my stuff, I hope my room isn't so girly when I see it! You've probably forgot that we share that room over the years." Damon joked. "Hey! How could I even forget?" Isabel lightly punched Damon in the shoulder as he went to the room.
"Damon, he seems to have changed a lot, he's not the bad, rough and naughty boy I used to know who didn't care for anything." Stefan tried to compliment. "Are you kidding? He's like, the best, most caring and loving dad in the universe!" Isabel sounded rather insulted.
Stefan wished he hadn't said anything. Everytime he tries to make good conversation with Isabel, he'd always end up getting embarassed.
"Hey Isabel! I like what you've done with the room! It's so neat!" Damon complimented. "I told you! You could trust me." Isabel put on a big grin. "Sure can!" Damon ruined Isabel's hair but her hair, whom she got from her mother, just went back to it's normal position, fixed.
"I need to go to bed, it's been a long day for me. Good night guys!" Damon said as he went upstairs, to his room. "Night dad!" Isabel greeted back. "Oh that reminds me! I need to practice our choreography. Gosh! Our head cheerleader taught it to us like, two days ago and we have to memorize it by tomorrow or else we get kicked out. Ugh!" Isabel complained. "That sounds pretty intense." Stefan replied. "Yeah. You wanna help me with stuff? I mean, there are parts of the choreography that I still don't get." Isabel suggested. "Trust me, I know nothing about cheerleading." Stefan denied. "No, I just meant you'll help me like, straighten my legs in the air when I do an air split and stuff.." Isabel laughed. "Oh, sure that sounds fine." Stefan replied, embarassed.
Isabel turned on the music.
*This is the music that was used.*

She started doing to choreography, Stefan watched, amazed by her stunts. She did every single stunt perfectly. Stefan continued to stare at her in amazement.
"Whew! That was cool! I actually memorized it already!" Isabel said it as if it's a miracle. "Yeah, you we're great. That was intense!" Stefan complimented. "Thanks!" Isabel replied as she did a split while turning off the radio. "I'd better get to sleep, I've got a big day tomorrow. Whole day rehearsals for the school bonfire night." said Isabel as she set off.
"Dad? Are you still up?" Asked Isabel as she entered the room. "Yeah I am. I can't sleep with all this stuff going on in my mind." replied Damon. "Oh, ok." Isabel said. "What made you ask?" Damon suddenly said. "Well, you know how mom was a cheerleader and you also wanted me to be one to follow her footsteps right? Well, you know, there's this show choir club at Mystic Falls, the 'Mystic Falls Chorale' Club, and I was just wondering if it would be okay with you if I joined it." Isabel asked permission. "Are you kidding me? Of course that's okay with me. Honey if that's what you want then go for it." Damon said, approving. "Thanks dad." Isabel said and laid down on her dad's chest. She really enjoys lying down on her dad's chest. It makes her feel so safe and comfortable. "Sure sweetie, good night." said Damon, kissing his daughter's forehead.
The next morning, Damon woke up and Isabel wasn't there anymore. So he went downstairs assuming she would be eating breakfast. But she wasn't at the kitchen either.
"Stefan? Where's Isabel?" Damon asked. "Oh she left for school already, she said she had to get there early since she was auditioning for another club and after that she needs to get to her cheerleader rehearsals or training or whatever." replied Stefan. "Oh, ok, thanks." said Damon.
"Hey Damon, I've got a question." said Stefan.
"What is it?" Damon answered.
"Is Isabel, well you know, a vampire?" asked Stefan.
"No she isn't. Why?"
"Well, you know, you left her when she was still at a young age since that was three years ago. And it was already like she knew everything about life." Stefan put his hands in his pocket. "Oh that, well, we don't really know what she is. She can go around really fast like vampires do, but she doesn't drink blood. She just eats normal food and doesn't need to feed on anyone or anything." Damon explained.
"That's... new." Stefan replied, partly shocked. "Elena and I we're thinking maybe she's half vampire. I mean, she was human and I am a vampire so... yeah." Damon expanded.
"That's really rare." said Stefan. Finally being sure that Elena was Isabel's mom.
"Yeah, it is." Damon agreed.
"Well, there are other things she can do." Damon added.
Stefan was very curious about what Damon said by that.
"What do you mean?" Stefan asked.
"She can absorb ones ability of being a vampire, a shapeshifter, a werewolf, a witch or whatever creatures that are out there that aren't human." Damon explained.
"Woah." Stefan said, shocked.
"Yeah. But me and Isabel don't like Isabel to permanently be one, we don't want to take the possible risks of it. So we have this hankerchief, made out of special gold, and it absorbs what power she has recently absorbed and we store the power into this jar." Damon explained more.
"So yes, she is just half vampire, but she is capable of doing many things, she's probably to only one of her kind. I've never seen any power like that." Damon finally stopped.
"Well that's good. At least you wouldn't need to be too protective of her and you know that she has many ways of protecting herself from different kinds of harmful things." said Stefan.
"You're right." agreed Damon.
-AT SCHOOL-
"Uhm, Hi! My name is Isabel Salvatore, and I would like to audition for Mystic Falls Chorale." said Isabel nervously in the auditorium.
"Okay Isabel, why would you want to join our club?" asked the club head, Mrs. Judith.
"I would like to join this club because singing and dancing is what I really like to do and I'm sure that this club will help me fulfill that dream." replied Isabel nervously, not knowing that these kinds of questions will be asked.
"Well, Isabel, what song will you be singing today?" asked Mrs. Judith.
"I'll be singing Imagine, by John Lennon." replied Isabel, hoping this was a good song choice.
"Okay then, start." said Mrs. Judith.
"Do I sing the whole song?" asked Isabel.
"Yes, dear." replied Mrs. Judith calmly.
Isabel inhaled and exhaled deeply and tried to make the best out of the moment. Think about something else, think about the song, what it feels. Don't think about auditioning, think of it as you're singing it to someone very important in your life. Isabel thought to herself.
"If there's a time when the fears should fill your eyes
And you can't see past thge shadows
To the sun on the other side
Don't despair, because there always will be someone there
Don't lose faith, love won't let you lose your way
Because You, you'll never stand alone
I'll be standing by
I'll keep you from the cold
I'llhold you when you cry
I'll be there to be strong
When you can't find the strength inside
And you, you'll always have a home
In these arms of mine
You'll never stand alone
Love is standing by
If there's a day..." Isabel, while singing, thought of her most precious memories with her dad. When Isabel was nine years old and classes we're canceled because of the three feet high snow. Her dad and her were bored to death at home and Isabel wanted to go out so bad. So Damon carried her and they both got into their warmest clothes and went outside. They started of with the snow fight, and they started building snow angels they also built a huge snowman. It was one of the most treasured moments in Isabel's life, ever.
"...Standing by to life you above all the hurt and pain
Standing by to carry you through all the tears and ain
Reach for me, I'll be with you
Reach for me, I'll see you through
I'll be the one to hold you
The one to show you that
You, you'll never stand alone
I'll be standing by
I'll keep you from the cold
I'll hold you when you cry
I'll be there to be strong
When you can't find the strength inside
And you, you'll always have a home
In these arms of mine
You'll never stand alone
Love is standing by." Isabel finished off and before she knew it, she was in tears. She was thining of all the good things, it made her extremely happy and tears started rolling down her cheeks.
"Thank you, Isabel, that was wonderful, we'll inform you about our decision tomorrow." said Mrs. Judith, smiling. "Thank you so much!" Isabel said, all cheery and happy.
Isabel didn't pay much attention to the rest of the school since she was only going to attend in the morning, well actually all the cheerleaders always attend school only at mornings and they are excused because they usually spend all afternoon training so the cheeleaders recieve separate classes from most of the others.
Isabel, during practice, did all her stunts correctly and she didn't talk much to her friends, well actually she didn't talk to them at all because she was too busy thinking about how her audition went, if they'll accept her or not. She let the day pass and she went home.
