Author's Note:
Thank you again to everyone who reviewed, favorited and followed:) I have to warn you that this story is not going to be exactly like the TV show...Here's your next chapter. Oh and this takes place around 2X8.
Chapter III: Just a regular day...or not
"Skinny jeans, white top with a black leather jacket, black combat boots, make up. Check." Sophie muttered as she curled her hair.
After she was done with her 'school look' she headed down stairs, where her 'parents' awaited. She wasn't in the best mood considering what had happened to her the night before. She grabbed a blood bag from the fridge without saying a word letting Trevor and Rose know of her mood.
"Are you going to drive or..." Rose started.
"I'll walk." Sophia responded while grabbing her bag. Her parents nodded knowing that she wanted to think everything through. Sophia gave them each hugs before heading out,she wasn't even five blocks when a car pulled up.
"Hey cheekbones, need a ride?" Damon asked.
"Umm sure." She answered, getting into the car while they driving Damon kept looking at her from the corner of his eye until Sophie got suspicious, "What?" She asked finally.
"What... what." He reply.
"You keep looking at me as if I'm about to murder your favorite pet."
"No it's just that a lot happened last night..." Damon explained.
"Trust me you're not the with problems." Damon frowned but didn't ask any questions.
Elena and Katherina look exactly the same...I wonder if Damon knows anything about my mother...
"Hey Damon, do you know anything about a woman named Katherina?" Sophia asked casually as they stopped a red light. Damon turned his head so quickly that Sophie thought that it would have fallen off, "Why?"
"I was leaving and I was attacked by a vampire that was looking for someone named Katherina Petrova and I just thought you might know her..." She trailed off.
"She goes by Kathrine Pierce now. She's dangerous and manipulative. Just stay away from her." Damon gripped the steering wheel.
"But who is she?"
Damon took a deep breath in. He wasn't sure if he could trust Sophia but there was something telling him that she could became helpful especially she was staying in town. She might as well know, "She's Elena doppelganger and Klaus is after her."
"Klaus...who?" Sophie played dumb.
"One of the Originals...the most powerful and oldest creature alive... oh and lets see he's after Elena's blood for some stupid curse to release his werewolf side...and here's school."
"Thanks for the ride Damon." He winked and drove on.
After a little compulsion, she had gotten her time table and was looking for her first class. She was too busy to notice that a boy that was texting coming her way, they both ended up on the floor,"Why can't you see where-" The boy stopped when he looked into Sophia's eyes and helped her grab the papers that had fallen from her binders.
"Sorry for bumping into you. I'm Aria but call Sophia or Sophie."
"Well nice meeting you Sophie, I'm just plain Jeremy or Jer. Do you need any help?" He said.
"Yeah actually do you know where Mr. Saltzman's class is?"
"My sister and her boyfriend have that class. Follow me."
Her phone vibrated, Sophia checked her messages thinking it was from her parents but was confused when she read Damon's name as Damon is a sexy beast.
Of course only Damon would write something like that...
How's school?-D
Ran in2 a guy. Boring. How did u get yourself in2 my contacts?-S
I may have taken when you weren't looking & there's a reason for me not doing the whole High school drama shit-D.
She was just about to respond went she thought she heard someone call her name.
"Sophia!"Elena called from behind stopping both Jeremy and Sophie.
She turned only to be given a hug from Elena, herself with three other people trailing her behind.
"Guys this is Sophia. Sop, this is Stefan, my boyfriend, Caroline and Bonnie, my friends." Elena introduced.
"Hey." Sophie smiled.
"So how do you know Sophia?" Jeremy questioned.
"We met at the yesterday at the Mystic Grill."
"Oh..."
Well anyways Sophia where are you off to?" Caroline asked. Sophia took her time table out and showed it to them.
"Hey we both have the same classes." Bonnie and Elena said.
"Cool. So shall we." Caroline said.
"You guys go I have to get my locker number and get stuff. I'll find my way." Sophia replied.
"I'll come with you." Stefan said as the others walked by getting to their classes seeing that the bell had rung.
"Stefan you really didn't have to-" she turned around only to see her self alone.
"Stefan?"
In a flash Stefan held Sophia by the neck and across the wall,"Who the hell are you?" He demanded, staring into her eyes. The moment he looked away from her, she switched positions to where it was her holding him by the neck,"You what? I think I like your older brother more. So when I let you down let's talk like civilized people. Shall we? Stefan nodded or at least she thought he nodded."Good." She slowly let him down.
"Who are you?" He repeated.
"My name's Aria but I prefer to go by my middle name, Sophia. My guardians are Rose and Trevor." Sophia said, leaving out the fact about her parents.
"Rose?" He said as his eyes opened.
"Yes do you know her or something?"
"Maybe. Why are you in Mystic Falls?"
"Dunno. Mom and Dad said that they had business to take care of. So now here I am talking to you. Anymore questions because I am sure we're late for class."
Stefan shook his head,"I can see why you get along with Damon now." He stated while they both walked to History class.
"Mom, Dad! I'm home." Sophie yelled as she entered her home.
When she heard no response, she quickly checked the whole house and then found herself in the kitchen.
That's weird. Both of them would have texted me...
Sophie turned to make herself a coffee and went to sit down in her dinner table. That when she found a package addressed to her. Curiously she looked around then opened the package a card fell out along with a velvet box.
~Happy Birthday Sophie~
Love Mom and Dad:)
She had forgotten it was her birthday, and she opened the box to see a necklace with it was her ring that she wanted to get cleaned from all the rust and blood that was on it.
I can't believe that they actually did this for me.
"What a lovely gift." She turned to only be faced by Elijah.
"How- What are you doing here?" She asked backing away slowly.
He seemed amused by her reaction, "I'm not going to hurt you, Aria. You are my niece the last time I checked."
"It's Sophie and where is my parents?" Elijah looked at her confused.
"Oh you mean Rose and Trevor?" She nodded, waiting impatiently.
"Trevor's dead and Rose is dying." He responded calmly as she mouth opened and closed.
"H-How?" Sophie stuttered. She may have gotten into fights with them but at the end of day they always loved her like parents loved their child. They were still family to her especially Trevor.
"Rose was bitten by a werewolf and as for Trevor I have no idea what happened to him."
"No." She whispered, "Where is Rose?"
"The Salvatore boarding house." He replied as she took off.
Sophie knocked on the door rapidly hoping someone would open the door. She wasn't surprise to see Damon open the door as he was.
"Cheekbones?"
"I'm here to see Rose. Invite me in." She said impatiently.
"I can't only Elena can."
"Well where is she?"
"Fine. ELENA!"
"What is it Damon?" Her eyebrow rose when she saw Sophie, "What are you-"
Damon cut her off, "Invite her in."
"Please come in Sophie." Sophia walked in and vampire speed to where Rose was as Elena left in confusion.
"Mom." Sophie cried seeing the state in which she was in. Damon opened his mouth in shock but didn't say anything.
"Who did this to you?"
"Aria, is that you?" Rose questioned.
She never calls me that...
"Yes ma." She moved closer to give her a hug.
"You are so beautiful my dear," She whispered softly before kissing her forehead. "Please never change."
"I promise I won't. Just please don't leave me." Sophie fell to the ground next to her.
Rose smiled softly, "Trust Elijah, Aria. He will guide you in the right direction. Never get mad at your parents. They did it to protect you. Klaus cares-the ring."
"Mommy please don't go!"
"My time is coming. I can see Trevor with my family."
"I love you Aria always will. Happy Birthday." After she spoke her last words her eyes closed.
"Rose! Ma! You cant be dead!" Sophia shook her desperately tried to any response. Damon watched until he couldn't.
"Sophia. Stop! She's dead, she isn't coming back." Damon tried to pull her off. She nodded surprising Damon with a hug as she cried. He awkwardly petted her back to calm her down.
"How can she just leave me?! Especially on my birthday, Damon?" She stiff and tried to wipe her tears-only to make more tears appear.
"Life is cruel, sweetie. Life is cruel." He wiped her and his own tears away.
"How about we go and cheer up." He suggested," Rose wouldn't want you to mourn over her. All she ever wanted for you to have was a normal life." Damon explained.
"How do you know?"
"She told me everything, I know that Klaus and Katherine are your actually parents."
"Your not mad? Please don't tell anybody."
"We all cant pick and choose our parents, cant we?"
Sophie drew out a short sigh and nodded.
"Good now let's go and drink our hearts out."
After Sophie and Damon both raided the alcohol at the grill. Damon thought that Sophie still celebrate her birthday by getting her a mini cake.
"Thanks Damon I had a great time." He nodded,"Do you want for me to drop you off?"
"No I'll walk."
"You sure?"
"Yeah the sun still out and it's like six pm(A/N:At where I live the sun still out around six)." She stated, Damon on the other hand didn't want to leave her alone,"Seriously Damon it's fine." I'm going home. In fact I'll call you when I get home. But don't expect one right away though. I may or may not go somewhere..."
"Fine." He said defeated.
Klaus still cares...Yeah right. Rose said something about a ring? What ring?
Then hit her, she gently took out the ring on the necklace was wearing. She stared at it wondering where she could have gotten it from, but she couldn't remember.
That's strange. I usually remember where I get all of my presents from. But I've had this one since I was five years old.
While Sophia was busy admiring her ring she didn't notice that someone was watching her and purposely bumped into her.
"Oh my. Sorry I wasn't looking-"She was cut of by the darkness surrounding her.
Great! Another déjà vu moment. When will this stop?
She wasn't where of her surrounding when she woke, she had heard noises and decided to follow it. She was confused when she saw Elena sitting in a chair and arguing with their history teacher, Mr. Saltzman. They both stopped and looked at Sophia with great care, "Aria." They both said, making her feel as if she had done something wrong.
Well isn't this very strange and awkward.
"Where the hell am I?" She questioned as they both looked at each other almost glaring. Mr. Saltzman nodded and Elena- well she thought vampire speed to her and then surprised her into a hug. It didn't take long for Sophie to notice that it wasn't Elena but her own mother-the one who gave birth to her. Mr. Saltzman stood there watching the scene with a look of hurt across his face, seconds before disappearing.
"Happy Birthday. My love. Please forgive me. I never meant for you to come into harms's way." Katherine whispered as shock and hurt both crossed Sophie's face.
A/N: A big shout out to my reviewers, I love you guys3
Responses:
Lucky Guard:Hmm...I not quite so sure about her bond with Klaus just yet.
kathshepherd:OMG, can I just love you? I always thought that I was the only person that ships Kat and Klaus...as for their relationship is only for me to know and for you to find out.
twilightlovengirl: I can tell you right now that, Kol is most definitely going to be the coolest/fun uncle anyone could ever ask for:)
Questions:
Who would you mostly ship with Sophie?( Jeremy and her would make the most weirdest couple ever...just saying)
What kind of relation do you wanna see w/Sophie and her parents? (Like whether she's with or against Klaus)
And what do you think is going to happen next?
