Flashbacks For Everyone
Alex P.O.V.
I looked around. I had tears down my face. Why would mom just leave? This fight is to dangerous for her?! For her brothers?! Esme made us go inside and get some Hot Cocoa.
I was sitting at the table, drinking hot cocoa, when Alice and Emmett walked in.
"You're moms car is out front." Alice said. "She left this for you." Alice handed me a book I recognized, a book I didn't know, and a box.
I set the book I recognized and the bag down on the table. I opened the new one. A paper was laying in the cover.
'A journey never ends. It only keeps going. I'm so sorry it had to go like this. I need to save my brothers. Please, don't get any crazy ideas. Like, coming. I'll lock you guy's out of town. I know Alice is probably behind you and reading this. Just stay safe. I know you're dad, you're aunts, you're uncles, you're grandma, and you're grandpa will keep you safe. Give you're dad time to get used to you. He'll come around. Lennaya is in town for Carson and her new daughter. Call her if anything goes wrong. And no, me leaving does not qualify. I know quite a few more people in town and they'll tell me if you guy's get any ideas. Please, don't come. We'll be back. My brothers and I can keep each other safe when we are together.
Love you, Love Mom' The paper said. Lennaya? Lennaya is a witch that has helped mom out for a while. Carson had her baby? I thought she wasn't due for another month. I pulled out my phone and dialed lennaya.
"Hello?" A girl that sounded tired asked. It was Carson's youngest daughter. She was seven.
"Prue, where's you're mommy Hun'?" I asked.
"Hi, Alex." Prue said. "Mommy is looking at the baby. He's tiny. But he cries a lot. They want to take the baby's powers for a while. I thought that was mean. it should be able to zap people. It would be so funny. You know? Where's Aunty Lexi? I got jellybeans. Her favorite ones. You know that my new teacher is so cool! Where are you? Where's Aunty Marie and Dami?" She asked. Gosh, seven year olds.
"They're busy. Can you get you're mommy or Grandma?" I asked.
"Ummmmmm……… Nope." She said. I heard water or something splash everywhere. " I'm giving the turtle lemonade. His new name is Bob."
"Give me the phone Prue. Who is it?" I heard Carson ask.
"Aunty Alex. She told me I could give Bob lemonade. She said it makes him smarter. It's not for you. It's for me." Prue answered in her stubborn way.
"She can call me on the other phone." Carson said. I knew that meant to call her on the other phone. "I'll be in the kitchen. Put the lemonade away. Bob doesn't need lemonade and it doesn't make him smarter. It'll turn him yellow."
"He is yellow. Member? He's also blue and pink and green and purple and silver with swirl designs." Prue said. I hung up.
"Someone gave Prue sugar." I muttered and dialed the other phone number.
"Hello?" Carson asked.
"Hi Aunty Carson. It's Alex. I heard you had you're baby!" I said.
"I did. Now I'm tired as hell and Prue says you let her give the turtle lemonade and then blamed you for letting her spray-paint his shell every color she could last week. You are not a good influence on her." Carson teased. How is it fault Damon got her spray paint?
"Do you know where my mom is?" I asked. She answered the way I thought she would.
"Alex! You are not going after her! Her brothers can keep her safe if she's not saving them. Talk to Lennaya." She said and passed the phone to Lennaya. Lennaya, Lena, is half witch and all vampire.
"They protect each other you know?" Lena said.
"How?" I asked.
"Do you remember the stories I used to tell you before you're mom found out? You were really little?" She asked. I didn't.
"No. I don't." I told her.
"The founding family's were getting along quite well. We discovered back then that even as a human, you have powers. You're mother had a few. Her and her brothers have this bond. They can find the other two if they're in trouble. They can make this force field. They can read each others minds and they fight like hell. You have never seen Elizabeth. You only knew Marie. A mom, and vampire. Elizabeth was exactly the opposite of you're mom. A Salvatore." She took a breathe. " Marie is kind and sweet. She agrees with everything and never says her opinion. She never physically fights anyone and is gentle. You have to understand that you're mom isn't the same any more, she never will be. She's choosing to be Elizabeth Salvatore. She's going to change so much. You won't understand her for a while but you will when you're older."
"What about Elizabeth?" I asked.
"Elizabeth has an attitude. No one could ignore her. They always helped, always listened and did everything for her. She can also be stubborn as no one you have met before. She did things no one could understand at the time and probably still don't and never will. She has her own way to view the world. Everything is different in her eyes. She has the worst attitude when you see it and her and her brothers fight like hell for what they want. A true Salvatore. I've seen her brothers over the years, numerous times, and they are the same. You actually may never understand but you can't go find her. She's thinking the way she normally does. She's not Marie and you have to let Marie go. If you go find Elizabeth it will shatter everything. She doesn't know how to act or what to do around you and Damon and the Cullen's because that's not Elizabeth's world. That was Bella's and Marie's."
"Elizabeth will lock you out of the town and won't be picky on how. She has a grudge against quite a few people in that town and needs her brothers. Even if Stefan and Damon won't admit it because of they're Salvatore attitude, they need her back." She tried to explain. Basically she's saying my mom isn't my mom right now and never will be the same when we get her back.
"Why?" I asked. I didn't know what I was asking.
"Did she leave you an empty book with witches designs on it?" Lena asked me.
"Yeah." I answered and looked at it.
"That's a book she needs you to keep safe for a while. It's a journal. She wanted you to log down everything. Everything you've been through, everything you're feeling, you're thoughts and everything else. It was a thing all of the founding family's did. Still do." Lena said. "I will know if you leave that house and I'll know exactly where you're going when you do. I will stop you but I will be nicer than Elizabeth will. She's not to keen on forgiving quickly." She paused "I have to go. I'll talk to you later." She hung up. What? I looked at the book. Writing in a language I didn't know was on the first page. I realized everyone else was busy.
"Alice? Do you speak Latin?" I yelled.
"You're dad does." She yelled back. I looked to where her voice was coming from.
"Need my help?" A voice I recognized asked. My dad was standing there.
"If you don't mind. I would love it ." I said. I handed him the book.
"It's a poem. It looks like." He told me.
"Can you read it?" I wondered.
"A time long ago,
A past within her eye's,
A secret no one unlocked,
An opening no one will find.
The past repeats it self,
History seen again.
At the call of brothers,
She will rise once again.
A Salvatore to return.
No one to intervene.
The past will never change.
History will end differently.
With three standing the same.
~ Emily" Edward read aloud.
"A prophecy?" Damon asked. I wonder when he walked in.
"Most likely. About who?" I wondered.
I heard someone knock. Edward looked confused. He went to get the door.
"Hello. Is Elizabeth around? Alex and Damon by any chance?" A girl asked as soon as he opened it. Damon recognized the voice.
"Davain." He told me. It was a vampire we knew. I met her once. Mom didn't like her.
We walked over to the door.
"What's up Davain?" Damon asked.
"Other than the fact that a freaking witch put a spell on this place so I can't get in, do know if you're mom has any journals here?" Davain asked. She looked mad.
"Um. Does she?" I asked the room in journal. Alice came walking in with a box in her hand.
"Here." She said.
"Great. Look for Jonathon Gilbert." Davain said to her. She was examining the door way and looking at something at the top. "How long have you lived here? " She asked Edward.
"Two weeks." He said. "Esme constructed it."
"I don't know which is which." Alice said. Davain tried to walk in and looked at the wall. She touched it and pulled her hand away quickly.
"Why the freaking hell is the paint made of vervain?" Davain asked herself as she held her hand and was wincing. "Look at the years. I need any journals that say 1864 on them."
Alice pulled out 9 journals and walked over to the door. Davain set them on the ground.
"I can't open them. They're locked." Alice told her.
"What was you're last name as human?" Davain asked as she laid out the journals and picked one up in the middle. She started twisting a lock around.
"Brandon." Alice answered.
"Freaking Katherine." Davain said as she took the string of the unlocked journal.
She opened it to the first page.
She shut it and set it down. She picked one on the end up. She started untying the string and flipped the string on the cover over. She set it down.
She started opening another. This time, as she opened it to the middle of the book, where a string marked a page, she tore out every page in a book and put them in a bag, except for the last page.
She opened all the other's and set them out again.
"I'm missing three journals." She said.
"Witch. Witch sidekick. John." She listed. She looked at the journals, in thought.
She looked at the journals. "Can see the whole box of journals?"
I brought the box to her.
She pulled every journal out and started stacking them.
She took out a piece of paper and ripped it into a few pieces then wrote on some of them and set them on the stacks.
"Damon". "Stefan". "Miranda". "Guiseppe". "Anna". "Pearl". "Honoria". "Liz".
All of a sudden all of the journals and her were gone.
