Chapter 3: Revelations Part 2
Previously
By the time I am finished I realized that Bonnie and Elena were in shock again and I had downed 20 shots and my Bloody Mary and was only now getting the effects. Rubbing my temples to try to dispel the migraine I closed my eyes taking in deep breaths.
Still with my eyes closed I couldn't help myself with one last crack at them. "So should I call you mom Ellie?" causing someone to faint I guessed after hearing a bang of what sounded like a body hitting the floor or the table. Peeking an eye open I saw I was right Elena fell off her chair in a faint. she looked as pale as a corpse too, I thought aloud "I think I killed her."
Elena POV
After Finding out that I am adopted, my mother is the vampire ex-wife of my history teacher and the man who is dating my aunt and that my Uncle John is actually my father I figured I needed and deserved a break. So I took Jeremy and Bonnie to the Grill for some fun.
"So Bon Bon how was your Aunts?" After her Grams died for opening the tomb she left for her Aunt's in Florida. She came back last week and we haven't had a chance to talk with all the crazy going on.
"Good, it was fun and nice to get away from all of the drama and the memories, but still I didn't enjoy it as much as I could have." Bonnie looked much different more sad and angry than before it broke my heart it is mostly my fault if I wasn't in love with Stefan her Grams would might still be here.
"Bonnie I want you to know-" at the sound of someone plopping down at our table I looked up to see a beautiful girl with emerald green eyes, pale ivory skin, and raven black hair. She wore ripped jeans, a Bite Me t-shirt, black leather jacket and combat boots, mascara, and blood red lipstick. All and all she looked like a baddass but why is she here and what the hell are those creepy tattoos? But out of nowhere she looks at me and says "So a doppelganger," what the hell?! How does she know what I am? she turns to Bonnie raises an eyebrow "a Witch and a hunter walk into a bar. Now this is the beginning of a bad joke." she said smirking as if she found this hilarious, though I get the feeling that the joke held a double meaning.
She looked at us as if expecting us to laugh, but I don't know who the hell she is so it is not funny. Though she kind of reminds me of Damon. Apparently Bonnie had the same thought. "Who the hell are you?" Bonnie all but demanded. I got the feeling this stranger is going to enjoy getting under Bon's skin she looked amused and with a tilt of her head and a smirk said, "Oh, a little of this a little of that."
Yes I am definitely right she is getting a kick out of annoying Bonnie. I was about to break the tension by asking her name when she said "oh Bennet I wouldn't do that if I were you," with a mix of warning and amusement in her voice. She continued sipping her drink calmly like she wasn't pissing off a witch. She's got balls! I guess Bonnie was about to use her magic on this stranger and I was correct when Bonnie at the end of her patience hissed "Why not?"
The smirk still was plastered on her face and I was starting to wonder if it was permanent the girl radiated mischief and I got the impression she was enjoying every minute of our reactions. Weirdo!
"Wouldn't want the spirits on your ass for harming a sister witch would we?" she said nonchalantly like we were discussing the weather not that this annoying girl is a witch and one look at Bonnie's pale nervous face I'd say she it is because she is more powerful than Bonnie.
Deciding to give Bonnie a break and find out who she is and what she wants I figured, ah what the hell and asked "Who are you? How do you know us and if you're the witch who is the hunter?" I mean seriously she knows who we are but we don't know a thing about her or her name and what hunter? She looked at me for a moment like she was assessing me over something before nodding like she approved of me which is weird but I got the feeling her approval is extremely important.
"Well Ellie, can I call you Ellie?" I was about to say not a snowball's chance in hell when she continued as I opened my mouth. God this girl is so annoying!
"Who I am is complicated. How I know you well not meaning to sound like a stalker but I know all about you and the shit that has been going on in this little town as for the hunter well there is you little cousin/brother Jeremy over there," she said while eyeing my brother way too much in my opinion.
Okay so first stalker much? second Jeremy is a hunter? What the hell?! "By the way he's hot!" She said winking and I suddenly had an image of her and my brother...ew! I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. Besides Bonnie likes him even though to him she is like a sibling and even said as much. I look over to Bonnie who looks like she is going to attack her. This girl just knows what buttons to push and is enjoying it. She is CRAZY!
"Also I am the best damn huntress in the Five you have probably heard of me the huntress Belladonna." At that name I'm pretty sure my heart just about stopped. The question is who hasn't heard of her?! The girl literally went to hell and back, stopped the apocalypse twice! She has the most slays and exorcism and is the youngest slayer at 18 this year! and here she is in mystic falls home of those that go bump in the night. What if she's after Stefan and Damon? Or Caroline and Tyler? I was broken out of my worries by Belladonna or Bella for short since she didn't give us her actual name.
"You have no need to worry Elena. I won't ever hurt the Salvatore's they are family after all." What the hell is she a mind reader? Wait a minute, what did she just say? "Fa-fam-family?!" I stuttered. I can't believe it but sadly I can see it. She reminds me of a female Damon with Stefan's looks a bit. Looking at her eyes which are so much like Stefan's.
"How?!" Bonnie demanded suspicion evident in her voice, hell even I'm suspicious the only family know to the Salvatore siblings is Zack and he is dead. Bella looked at me amusement and mischief dancing in her green orbs. "Oh, I don't know if Ellie would be able to hear it Bennet," she sighed sounding as if she truly cared which is total bull I can tell as can Bonnie so she pretty much demanded how. She always did hate people making fun of me but I can tell she did it again to annoy Bonnie and I can tell she's starting to catch on.
Raising her hands in surrender she reminded us she warned us before she became serious looking at Bonnie she started "So Bennet tell me did you know a witch and a werewolf are the only beings capable of bearing children with a vampire?"
So she is part vampire? But that would mean they would have to... ew image! She chuckled before continuing her tale. "We are called many things, Hybrid for a werewolf mix. But for us witches we are known as Dhampir. Half-vampire half-human since witches are just humans with magic."
As she took a sip of her drink I figured she is a Dhampir but how is she related to the Salvatore's? As Bella continued I began to analyze everything she says "Unfortunately unlike werewolves the mother dies at birth and the birth is violent." she grimaced if you die and it is violent and it leaves the baby motherless why go through with it?
"We stop aging at 7 years into this life and look 18, have all of a vampires strengths and none of their weaknesses bar stakes but of course having a stake shoved into anyone's heart would likely kill them humans included." Of course a stake would kill her it would kill a vampire or human.
Turning to me this time I had a feeling I am not going to like this not one bit. Looking into her eyes instead of mischief and humor I can see sadness, pain and sympathy? "My mother's name was Renee Swan descendent of the original witch Esther Michelson's sister Diana. I was told it was a one night stand after tons of boos and blood during the end of his ripper days."
Wait a minute she is a descendent of an original? Damn no wonder she is more powerful than Bonnie! Plus it sounds like she is a vampire's dream. But what struck me the most was when she said Ripper. That name struck a chord with me because I knew a vampire who used to be a Ripper with those same eyes. Oh god please no! I prayed. Before I could ask if my suspicions are true she continued her story.
"Once she died I was raised by her ex-husband Charlie a hunter who despite being half of one of the monster's he hunted he raised and loves me like his own but being different I have memories from inside the womb so I knew who my father was and how he looked. But I was not ready to meet him. So over the years I hunted with my dad Charlie, gone to hell and escaped, prevented the apocalypse, got my heart broken by a cold one a different type of vampire. A cold one who didn't know what I am I found out that after a year together while I like an idiot fell for him the bastard never loved me just used me as a damn distraction!" She yelled tears streaming down her face, her eyes were so full of pain and anger and who can blame her?
Born of a one night stand to my boyfriend, she killed her mother and remembered it, going to hell, returning only to give someone who doesn't love you your love! Hell! I'd be pissed off yelling and crying too. Poor Girl!
After getting another tray of shots Christ how much alcohol can this girl drink? She's not even tipsy! Must be a vampire thing Stefan and Damon are the same way.
"Yeah, so after the asshole leaves me in the middle of the fucking woods alone with my heart broken I pretty much threw myself into hunting until dad threw the towel down and threatened to take away my bike Ripper away if I don't do something besides hunting." By this point there is ten shots left out of twenty! Damn! She downs another shot before continuing.
"So I hang out with my 'best friend' Jacob Black who knew was a shape shifter before he phased so I wasn't worried. Shit when you're in hell for a year your best friend being a shifter is nothing so of course I am cool with it. But what does the guy do?! I'll tell you what the bastard does he abandon's me too! Why? Because he can't be friends with a bloodsucker even half! So I decided even though I am still not ready to meet him I figured why stay where I am not wanted you know? I mean I don't belong in both the either world but both and yet both always reject me. So I just got in today, decided to come here to plan shit and get drunk instead I meet a fellow witch a hottie hunter and the girl banging my dad. Wow I am really drunk normally I don't talk this much."
As she took a breather I decided to process things. Okay so this girl is a hunter, a witch and a Dhampir and oh yeah that's right she is my boyfriend's daughter! OH MY GOD! STEFAN HAS A DAUGHTER! I panicked as that thought sank in. I don't know if I can handle this! This is too much to process. I'm okay, everything is going to be okay. I tell myself everything is going to be just fine.
"So should I call you mom Ellie?" Bella said slyly. Me? Mom? The room started to do 180's and before everything went back the last thing I heard Bella say is "I think I killed her." Just before the darkness took over my last thought was...
I can't handle this shit!
