A/N: I own nothing. Also I do not know Damon's mothers name so I will just call her Mary. (Takes place during season two. I won't be including Klaus or any other outside world troubles because I really want to focus on Mary and the others.)

Damon Salvatore was sitting in the parlor drinking a glass of bourbon when he heard the front door open. "Elena, I already told you I am fine." He says and then adds, "I know you think I'm irresistible and I have absolutely no problem with that but…" he was cut off by a familiar voice. "Damon, it's me." He turned to see a tall woman with raven hair and electric blue eyes staring back at him. "Mother?" he whispers incredulously. "Yes Damon." She confirms. And in an instant they are hugging each other tightly. "Who changed you? When? Why didn't you come for me?" her asks, his voice breaking at the end. A lone tear made a path down his cheek. "Your current nanny, Elizabeth changed me. I didn't come back to you when you were young because I was ashamed and I couldn't bear to see Giuseppe. And I read the records which said you had perished and I believed them. I just learned all that has happened since the day Katherine Pierce arrived from that woman herself." She finished. "So you don't know what father did to me?" he asked through tears.

Flashback

Damon was playing with the small amount of toys he had when he heard a crash a cry. He ran to the side of his little brother who had just fallen off his chair in the kitchen. "Damon, my knee is bleeding!" Stefan wailed. "I know, I already called for the maid to take care of you soon. Don't worry it's gonna be…" he was cut off by his father, who had dashed out of his study to the kitchen at the sound of Stefan crying. "You!" he yelled pointing at Damon. "You hurt him. You could have killed him! Just like you killed your mother!" he yelled as he grabbed a long wooden spoon and repeatedly hit Damon with it. Damon cried out and tears ran down his face. "Please father, stop please." He begged. "Get out of my sight!" his father roared and then picked up Stefan. Damon ran from the room sobbing and wishing that his mother was still alive.

Later that night Damon sat writing in his journal. He didn't beat around the bush, wrote of the torture he went through daily. He wrote about how no one wanted him and that he was always second best to everyone but his deceased mother.

He wrote in journals up until his 100th birthday but that was when Stefan began writing so he stopped so he wouldn't steal his brother's glory.

After a while of talking Damon and his mother were sitting on the sofa drinking, laughing, and crying. Just at that moment Elena and Stefan walked in. "Stefan dear, you look like your father. Just as I always suspected." Their mother said. "Mom?" Stefan whispers. "I just found my sons and they both greet me with a whispered 'mom'? Then again Stefan has only seen pictures and from what I hear Damon has been dealing with a lot lately." She says giving Damon's hand a squeeze. "Mom this is Elena." Damon says. "Hello Elena. God, you look just like Katherine. Anyways, I'm Mary Eliza Salvatore." Mary says as she shakes Elena's hand. "You can call me Mary though." She adds. "Stefan, I've heard so much about you. Do you mind showing me around town?" She asks. "I'd be honored. I'll be home soon Elena." He adds at the end. After they left Elena looked at Damon and gives him the "explain everything' look.

A/N: more chapters to come. the next one will probably in Elena's POV. Remember, every review counts!
