Chapter 6
"That was not Katherine." Damon states as he trudges into the house grabbing a drink on the way to the others.
"What do mean it wasn't Katherine. Unless there are more than one doppelganger." Elena shot back hope in her eyes. As she looked at everyone in the room waiting for the answer. All this supernatural stuff was still a bit confusing. She didn't know what could be and couldn't be.
"Well it would seem that you my dear Elena have a sister that you never knew about, but she isn't a doppleganger. Her eyes are different from yours and Katherine. I knew right away she wasn't Katherine. Too innocent all she did was cry the whole time." Damon frowned as the words cry came out of his mouth. Strange.
Elena in frustration pushes her bangs out of her face. "I don't have a sister. If I had a sister I would know about her."
"Well you didn't know you were adopted. Shocker…" Taking another swig from his drink before continuing. "She kept saying Ric was her father." That caught the attention of everyone in the room. The history teacher they had all found comfort in some way had a daughter. One who he hadn't mentioned.
Stefan paced the room like he usually did in situations like these. "Alaric doesn't have a daughter. He would have said something. Especially when he was vampire hunter history teacher out to get you for killing his wife. I mean who forget that kind of detail."
"Yeah, Stefan's right. He would have mention a daughter if he had one. Katherine must be playing you again." Elena comments as she tries to reassure herself that her new father figure wouldn't have lied about having a daughter.
"Well Klaus was very protective of her. Very territotal. Threatened to gut me more than the last few times we've had the pleasure of being in the same room as him. It's weird who would have thought the big bad hybrid was into robbing the cradle. I mean with crying like she was she seemed very young,"
Before Damon could keep going in the strange direction that he was Stefan cut him off having thought of something that everyone else should have thought of ages ago. "Why don't we just talk to Alaric? Find out if he even has a daughter since it does sound strange. Why would Klaus have Alaric's daughter to begin with." He did have a valid point.
That was the one question they were all asking themselves since they had been introduced to the idea of another Gilbert siblings but she wasn't really a Gilbert was she. This girl had no connection to Elena other than genetics and yes Alaric was a friend but his long lost daughter didn't hold much leverage over the Salvoter brothers.
Later that day
When they had finally gotten Ric to the house they all sat down Damon and Ric drinking entire bottle of jack in the few minutes of silence it had taken for everyone to actually gather in one room. Stefan and Elena entered the room holding hands and doing sweet shit that they always had if they weren't fighting.
"So Ric I'm just going to cut to the chase. We are here because I had the pleasure of meeting a little girl who says she is your daughter. I didn't really catch her name but she looks exactly like our dear sweet doppelganger Elena. Well not her eyes." Damon doesn't stop drinking. He does stop for a millisecond to refill his glass letting the whiskey spill over the top on to the coffee table without a care. He was a hundred something year old vampire he had the money to waste over liquor and not really care if he offend someone when trying to get answers.
He wouldn't be able to hide his interest in this girl. He was having a hard enough time doing it now that he had found out she wasn't Katherine.
"She isn't my daughter." He mumbles with a shake of his head.
"Well than she doesn't know who her father is because she wasn't lying to herself. She truly believed you were her father." She was in fear of her life with me and if she had really lied to Ric. in those few seconds that she feared for her life she would have slipped if she didn't believe herself.
"Why would my long lost daughter be with Klaus." The way he said it made him sound completely dumb founded.
"Have you actually spoken to her?"
"I couldn't handle it. I had always though that Isabelle had done something terrible to her. I mean you never mentioned her having a child with her. I could have let Isabelle go, but not my daughter I wanted to know what happened to my little girl. That why I kept looking. It wasn't for Isabelle, it was for Piper." The frustration was clear in his voice, and in how he was hunched over simply staring at his now empty drink.
"Here's a thought," Stefan holds up a finger. "How about you talk to her. That would probably be the best way to figure all this out."
It was the most logical thought with one little detail was forgotten. Emphases on little. Damon so kindly took it as his job to remind everyone about that one thing. "Have you forgotten that Klaus is babysitting her?"
Ric changed his posture as he looked around. "He brought her to me. Sat on the other side of the grill, watching us. When I got upset with her. He came and got her and said family bonding was over and put her in the car. She was hysterical." At that announcement to himself and the others maybe Ric saw the possibility that she may be Piper and he looked in pain, it was all over his face. "How do I get her to talk to me? If she really is my daughter why would she even want speak to me after what I put her through."
"Because if you are, you're her father." Elena answers in a soft voice. "If she is my sister I want to meet her."
"Than its settled Daddy dearest and Elena will go see Klaus and see Piper. Piper right? That's her name right?" Damon says with Questioning eyes. He was answered with nods and wide eyes.
