ELENA'S POV

The funeral was quick. Tears were shed, words were spoke, and then I found myself turning to walk away as Jeremy's casket was steadied into the ground. Damon and Stefan were both there. They both stood by my side. Damon's arm held a tight grip around my waist until I had to place the flowers down. Stefan stood with his hands held together, sadness on his face.

Bonnie was there. She was in tears and her arms were open for a hug. I gripped onto her.

"I'm sorry Elena." she whispered.

"S'okay." I chocked out. I hugged her for seconds more then we pulled away from each other.

After what seemed like the longest car ride of my life, I was finally…home, my new home.

I smiled at the thought.

I ripped off the dark black lace dress that was soaked in my tears and slipped on sweats and a shirt. I pulled the bobby pins out of my hair and let it flow loosly at my back. Looking at myself in the mirror was shocking. There were dark bags under my eyes. My eye makeup had run down my face, and there were blotches of red everywhere. My cheekbones looked bruised and I seemed very pale.

I jumped a little when Damon's reflection appeared in the mirror.

"Sorry." he said. "Didn't mean to jump you."

"It's fine." I sighed.

I turned to look at him.

"I want to see her." I said, looking down.

I had thought about this for the past days and I think it would be good.

"See who." he asked.

"My mother, Isobel."

His mouth dropped a little.

"Elena we aren't even sure that she is." he replied.

I wasn't going to give up.

"I know that's part of the reason why I want to see her, I want to know her, see what she looks like, she if she even really is my mother." I said. "She's family and the last of it."

He rubbed his forehead.

"I don't know." he said. "It may not be safe."

"Safe?" I questioned.

"Look Elena I don't think now is the best time to bring this up." he said.

"Tell me Damon." I said, angered.

"Elena I-"

"Tell me." I cut him off.

"Isobel is a vampire." he said.

Every thought of what she looked like, every dream of what I thought could be, had just been shattered.

"Vampire?" I stumbled on the word.

He nodded.

I looked at him I knew that there was more to tell.

"What else?" I ordered my voice getting angry.

"Before Isobel was a vampire she was married." he said. "She was married to Alaric."

My eyes filled with shock, and my heart sunk a little.

"He has been seeing my Aunt Jenna just recently." I said. "He had mention to her he had a wife before but he never said her name or anything about her."

"That is because she died." he said.

"But how?" I mumbled.

"A few years back I was in North Carolina and this woman came up to me, she never said anything about her just that she knew about vampires and she knew that I was one. She wanted to be one. We had a fling." he looked down clearly not wanting to talk about this. "Then she begged me to turn her so I did. It was all she ever wanted, immortality."

I looked up at him.

"You killed my mother." I said.

His eyes looked away from mine.

"I didn't know at the time and she already knew about everything."

"Did you know her?" I asked.

"All she told me was her name she refered to herself as Bella."

"Which stands for Isobel." I realized. "How did you find this out?"

"Ever since Stefan told me about what he had found I had looked more into it, and I found her picture and imidiatley knew who she was."

"You have her photo?" I asked quickly.

"I had her photo." he replied. "I got it from Alaric's wallet but I put it back."

"Oh."

"Do you think she will want to meet me?" I asked.

He looked down.

"She was very direct." he said. "she knew what she wanted. I don't know." he said. "But what I knew of her she seem well bitchy."

I rolled my eyes.

"Just please tell me you will think about it?" I asked him.

He hesitated.

"Maybe." he replied.

He kissed me on the forehead an then left the room.

I let my mind sink all the information I had just learned in. It was a lot and I was still trying to process it myself.

I cupped my hands under the facet and splashed the water onto my face.

I had to meet her.
