Okay, I know that it was very unrelated to the real story that I included Katherine in this chapter but please bear with me, it was the first thing that popped into my mind. And I know it's also weird that Jeremy is a vampire but please, try to enjoy it. Thanks!

Isabel woke the next day with a start. She prepared for school instantly and left without saying a word.

While entering the school, Zac approached her. "Hey! How are you?" he said. "I'm good. Kinda excited for later. You know, start of MFCC classes." said Isabel. "Yeah." said Zac. "So uhm, can I have your number?" asked Zac. "Sure, here." Isabel gave it to Zac. They we're both in History class. The feeling was sort of mutual with them, it seemed like they we're both falling for each other. History class finished and Isabel prepared for her next class.

Isabel was getting books from her locker with Scarlett when suddenly Sheila, one of the meanest cheerleaders on the team slammed her locker door.

"Hey Isabel! You know, I've always wanted to be friends with you, honest! I think you're totally cool and everything." said Sheila with a smile.

"Thanks Sheila that's re-"

"Wait, scratch that, I've always wanted to be friends with you when I thought you were so cool. Well newsflash, joining that nerdy show choir club is so not cool. Why did you join it Isabel? Because your dad told you to? Aww, look at Isabel follow her daddy. Aren't you evem feeling awkward that your dad is a teenage whore who can't seem to get enough of you? Well, piss off bitch! 'Cause your dad's gonna rape you anytime soon." said Sheila, raising an eyebrow, placing an evil smile to her face, then walking away.

Isabel was so pissed off with what Sheila said because just because she loves her dad so much doesn't mean Sheila could call her dad that way. Isabel's anger rose in a split second and she ran after Sheila and punched her, making Sheila's head bump into the lockers.

"HOW DARE YOU?" Sheila shouted and pushed Isabel, knocking her down to the floor, pulling Isabel's hair, sitting on top of Isabel and punching her in the face many times. "YES I DARE!" screamed Isabel, pushing Sheila off her and getting up.

"WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?" said their school Principal, Mrs. Stevens. "Both of you, to my office!" she yelled. Isabel and Sheila gave each other one last hard push and went grumpily to the Principal's office.

They both stated their explanations separately and waited in the office for their parents to pick them up from school.

Damon arrived first before Sheila's parents. Sheila and Isabel we're put together in an isolated room beside the Principal's office, both not talking to each other.

"What happened?" asked Damon as he entered the office. Mrs. Stevens explained everything. After that, Damon went to the isolated room and opened the door. "Dad!" Isabel sighed. "Let's go." said Damon, his eyebrows meeting. "Aww, daddy's gone to pick little baby up." teased Sheila. "HEY!" said Isabel, running towards Sheila, preparing to attack her. Damon held Isabel back and lead her outside. They both got in the car, Damon driving.

They arrived home and parked. No one got out of the car yet.

"Isabel, why did-"

"Dad, don't you even understand at all?"/ Isabel paused. "Don't you even get that it's enough anger for me to kill someone who insults you? Some who would call you a teenage whore? I don't know what's wrong, but it doesn't seem like you see how much I would do for you. How much I love you. Maybe I'm not being much of a good daughter am I?" said Isabel, feeling offended and leaving the car and going to their room.

Damon went to the room too. "Listen, Isabel, I'm sorry about earlier it's just I never thought of you as someone who would fight someone because-"

"It's okay, dad. I lost control." said Isabel, hugging Damon. "I'm sorry." Isabel started crying. "Shh, it's okay." said Damon, feeling sorry and kissing Isabel's forehead, trying to comfort her.

It was a weekend the next day. Isabel wasn't feeling well. Damon woke up because he heard Isabel puking in the toilet. She probably had the flu. She was pale and the skin surrounding her eyes were red-ish.

"I think we need to take you to the doctor." said Damon. "Go get ready, I'll wait outside." Isabel nodded and dressed up. While Damon was outside, a girl who looked like Isabel, but with curly hair, appeared out of nowhere. "Katherine."

The girl put on a wicked smile. "Damon."

"What are you doing here, Katherine?" said Damon angrily. "Well you know, like thhe old times, I visit whenever my plan went along." replied Katherine. "What plan?" said Damon suddenly confused.

"Oh Damon, please! Don't you remember?" nagged Katherine.

Memories started flooding through Damon's head.

~~FLASHBACK~~

"Please, Katherine. Spare Elena, I'd do anything for you to not kill her, please Katherine." begged Damon.

"Well, okay. But I'll need something in return." said Katherine, giving in. "But I'll need something in return." she added. "Anything." said Damon.

"Okay. In the future, I'm going to have to kill someone you love. But not only kill, that person is going to die from suffering. Although, that person could survive, but let's consider that a miracle. Just say who you want it to be, and if that person dies or not, as long as you give me your word that I can let that person suffer once, and I will leave you alone. No taking anything back and no more chances." said Katherine.

"Ha! That's easy. My first child. Which is never going to happen." said Damon. "Very well." said Katherine. "Wait, you're serious?" asked Damon. "Of course. No taking anything back Damon, you gave me your word." said Katherine. "Bye for now." she said and left.

~~END FLASHBACK~~

"Katherine-"

"The answer is no, Damon."

"But-"

"We had a deal. You're not allowed to take anything back." said Katherine sternly. "But Katherine, at that time it was impossible for me to have a child. I never knew that I would ever have a child." complained Damon. "A deal's a deal Damon. Isabel can die. But also, she could survive if she's a tough little girl. But I'm warning you Damon, she's gonna go through a heck of a lot." Katherine put on a wicked smile. "Bye for now, and good luck." she said sarcastically and left.

"DAD!" screamed Isabel. Damon ran to the bathroom, where Isabel's voice came from. "Isabel." Damon felt so sorry, as if he was about to break down. He found Isabel crouching down to the toilet, one hand holding her hair back and the other placed on the floor to support the weight of her body. The toilet was filled with blood. She was puking blood an she was having a nosebleed. Damon wanted to just shout and blame himself. If only he hadn't made that deal with Katherine.

"Isabel, I'm so sorry." Damon apoligized in a shaky voice. "Dad, what's happening to me?" Isabel was so scared, she was freaking out. "We need to get to the hospital now." said Damon, not knowing what to do anymore.

Damon explained everything to the doctor.

"Hello Isabel. I'm Dr. Jackson, I'll be running some tests on you while your dad waits here okay?" Dr. Jackson introduced himself. Isabel nodded and followed Dr. Jackson.

She (Dr. Jackson) told Damon that the tests might take more than an hour or so since the disease seemed kind of rare.

Damon went home since it is taking a very long time.

What will happen if she's gone? I don't want to lose her! Damon was panicking as he arrived home and he went to the bathroom and looked at the mirror, looking like he was about to break down. What if Isabel dies? It's all my fault! Why did I have to say 'my first child' with Katherine! I could have just said someone else! Oh who am I kidding? There's no other possible answer! That stupid curse!

Damon slowly sat down on the floor, leaning against the wall, hands on his hair, elbows on his knees, crouched down and crying. What if I only have a few more hours with her? No! This isn't happening! I'm going to make the most out of our remaining time together. I'll get her anything she wants. She's going to turn sixteen in a few days. I'm going to make it her best birthday ever.

Damo returned to the hospital after a while. Isabel and Dr. Jackson weren't there yet. Wow this is long. Damon thought to himself.

"Okay. So go over to the nurse station and you need to sign the form, then they'll give it to you." said Dr. Jackson as he opened the door. "Okay. Thanks doctor." said Isabel as she glanced at Damon with a straight face, and went to the nurses station to sign the papers and get the medication she needs for free.

"Mr. Salvatore. Isabel needs to get as much rest as possible. We haven't diagnosed yet what's wrong with her. But she's gone fragile. I'm going to let her take Aspirin twice a day to decrease the pain. It should be taken once every twelve hours. We'll be working on her test results a bit more, until then she needs to continue taking her medications." said Dr. Jackson. "Okay, thank you so much Dr. Jackson." said Damon. "Please, call me Nicole." she replied.

"Hey. You ready?" Damon asked Isabel. "Yeah, let's go." she replied. They drived home without saying a word to each other.
