"So my real name is Isabelle Mikaelson," I started off, letting my English accent slip through, happy I didn't have to mask it with the American accent any more.

"Mikaelson? I thought it was Swan?" Rose asked and I smiled.

"Swan is the surname of my descendants."

"You have a British accent?" Elena asked with confusion evident in her voice.

"Of course, that's where I'm originally from before my family moved to America, I just haven't lost the accent over the years but I'm glad I kept it, I love my accent," I explained while everyone listened.

"I am well over 1000 years old; I was born some when in the 10th century. I am part Vampire," I heard several gasps.

"You don't look like one of us," Rose stated angrily obviously not believing my story.

"Different races of vampire Rose. Damon, Elena , Stefan and I are part of the Original Vampire Race and you, Peter, Char and Jasper are known as 'The Cold Ones', I can prove it to you with the help of Stefan, Damon and Elena," I nodded to each of them and they lowered their heads when I did, I felt the veins pop out underneath my eyes and I felt my fangs elongate, I lifted my head and hissed, lifting my top lip so they could see my fangs better along with the Salvatore's, Jasper and Rose jumped back in surprise while Char and Peter just laughed at their reaction.

"I am only part vampire, I am also part werewolf but a full blooded witch, a hybrid if you will," I watched as surprise crossed their features and continued, "I am from a family of 8 children including myself. After one of my brothers was killed by a werewolf that lived nearby, my mother, who was also a full blooded witch cast a spell that turned the whole family into vampires, she used the blood of the girl that two of my brothers were in love with, we didn't find that out till later, she was also a good friend of mine which hurt to know she died for something so unnatural. After his first kill, my twin brother's werewolf gene activated and thus we found out about our mothers unfaithfulness and that our father was actually a werewolf, my step father was livid when he found out." I took a breath.

"My mother was terrified of my brother and what he could do so she put a curse on him but didn't think to include me because I had hidden the fact my gene had kick started and after she had bound his werewolf side she abandoned us all, my brother found her and then murdered her, framing our step-father for her death but I knew it was him all along but I kept my mouth shut and protected him because he was my brother and I understood why he did it, I had hated my mother for a long time. After a few hundred years of living with my siblings, I left and travelled the world. I kept practising my magic; something I never lost when I was transformed into a Vampire which I found out is pretty rare. I keep in contact with my brother and every few years we meet up along with my other siblings occasionally; we were a close knit family before we got turned."

"In 1960 I moved to a town called Mystic Falls, I found a few of my descendants. About a year before my family and I were turned into vampires, I was attacked by an unknown man and I was resulted with a baby boy, I named him Alexander, he was such a beautiful little boy, he had a mop of blonde hair like mine and his eyes were such a pretty chocolate brown that sparkled with life and I loved him so much even though I hated the way he was conceived." I sighed sadly and rubbed my flat stomach gently, I heard Rose sob and I looked up to see her being comforted by Jasper, I felt a stab at my heart, I wish I could have something like that. Someone to care for me, to protect and love me no matter what.

"What happened to him?" Elena asked softly.

"Because I was unwed, my mother and father refused to let me keep him," my voice grew harsh and cold, I saw Rose's and Char's head snap up but I kept my gaze on the wall above their heads because I didn't want to break down in front of everyone. "I tried to fight them on it, so did my siblings but my parents refused to let me keep my baby, they were adamant so one night while I was sleeping they took him from his crib beside my bed and gave him away, I tried my hardest to find my baby but I couldn't, my mother also forbid I search for him, I started to hate her for that, then she gave me a life of eternal youth, I was only 20 at the time, I wanted to marry someone, settle down and have kids but no my mother was selfish and took it away from us without even asking our opinions." I took a few deep calming breaths.

"When in Mystic Falls, I came across the Swan family who had just moved there, I found out they were my descendants through Alexander who had been adopted by the Swan family, so I compelled them to think I was their 17 year old daughter and I stayed with them, in 1863 I met the notorious Damon Salvatore and his brother Stefan at the local market, I was browsing when I bumped into Stefan here, we got talking and then he introduced me to his brother Damon who was in the army at the time." All heads turned to Damon and Stefan, they just nodded.

"Damon and I started courting soon after, we weren't like the other couples at that particular time, we didn't want to wait until marriage to become intimate so because I was stupid and in love with him, I kept sleeping with him until he left to go to serve in the army for a short stint, seeing as we'd be getting married when he came back but while he was away the illustrious, Katherine Pierce moved to town," I spat her name out like a curse, "I personally couldn't stand her, I remembered her from her run ins with my twin brother a long time ago, she didn't recognise me or what I was. She is a manipulative bitch and she always has been. She does anything to get what she wants. She will kill anyone who gets in her way, she is childish but she's also quite the whore, she uses sex to get what she wants them to do besides the compulsion anyway," I took a deep breath to control my anger which was threatening to erupt, I felt calm wash over me and I relaxed, nodding in Jasper's direction.

"She was courting Stefan in secret, I found out on accident when I saw them kissing and then Damon came back from serving in the army, that's when I met Major Jasper Whitlock, he was Damon's army buddy and we were introduced when Jasper came back with him for leave and Damon decided to quit the army, I spent time with Jasper getting to know each other, he became a great friend of mine, Stefan got along with him too and the four of us used to go exploring Mystic Falls together. Katherine was never invited." I smiled at the memory.

"I was so excited to become Damon's wife, I never felt nervous about the big day, I wanted to settle down with him and have a family with him, I had found a spell that could reverse the effects of my vampirism and I was prepared to give it up for him. After a few weeks Damon started to spend less and less time with me yet still made time to sleep with me," I glared at him and I saw the other women do the same thing.

"The night before our wedding and I was practically bouncing with excitement when Damon came to my room and told me that he couldn't be with me anymore, that he was tired of pretending to love me for these past few weeks, that I was just a play thing for him because I was easy to get into bed and that he was in love with someone else, Katherine and that he no longer wanted to become my husband, he was going home to tell his family that he was calling off the wedding. That's why Edward's words cut so much when he left. The words reminded me of Damon and the cruel things he said to me," my eyes glazed over as I remembered the night before our wedding, I felt a sob rip through my chest and a tear fall down my cheek, I kept my eyes on the wall, not looking away. After a few minutes the sobs died down and I saw Rose hit Damon across the back of the head.

"Insensitive Assehole," She hissed and he ducked his head in shame.

"My 'parents' at the time then were set for me to marry Jasper here but he got killed off in Texas before anything could progress, I only liked him as a friend though," I smiled apologetically at Jasper who nodded in response.

"A few weeks went by of hardly sleeping, I cried all the time and I locked myself in my room, only leaving to use the bathroom and get something to eat, after a few weeks, I started to get sick, when I found out what was wrong with me I had to leave town before I could disgrace my family, so I packed up and left town," I whispered, though everyone could hear me perfectly.

"What was wrong with you?" Damon asked, I looked into his eyes and sighed, it was now or never.

"What do you think Damon? What do you think was wrong that I had to leave town so I wouldn't disgrace my family?" I heard Rose, Jasper and Stefan gasp, Elena looked confused.

"No please, tell me you weren't," Damon pleaded with me while shaking his head in denial.

"I was pregnant Damon with your child and I was left on my own to defend myself, my own siblings were too busy with their own shit at the time." I whispered and looked down.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Damon asked angrily, my head snapped up and I felt my fangs elongate and the veins pop out as I let out a snarl which made him cringe back.

"How could I? You wouldn't even talk to me when I tried; you were too busy fucking your brother's girlfriend, so I left. I didn't need your fucking pity and you know your father would have forced you to marry me and I wasn't going to have you marry me just out of duty," I snapped, I could see the shame in his eyes, well; I had no sympathy for him.

"In fact you might have heard of my children," I said with pride

"Who are they?" Rose asked.

"You know them as Jane, Alec and Chelsea, my Jane and Chelsea both have my blonde hair and they had blue eyes and my Alec has his daddy's dark hair and his blue eyes. You may be wondering why they are Cold Ones if they have an Original for a mother but they were half human. When they were almost 15 they were struck down by a disease and that's when I met Aro, he was a Cold One and saved my children by turning them for which I will be eternally grateful, I don't know what I'd do without them. It turns out all of my children have gifts and that's why you ought to be careful when you meet them," I said when looking at Damon pointedly.

"What kind of gifts and why would I have to be careful, I'm their father," He said. I snarled at him.

"You're may be their biological father but you've never been there for them like I have," I replied angrily, "My Jane can make you feel pain, lots of pain, its worse than torture or so I hear, my Chelsea can weaken and strengthen relationship bonds and my Alec can cut off your senses, they are important parts of the Volturi." I stated with pride in my voice, I missed my children dearly, they were my life but they had their lives with the Volturi. "And you'll need to be careful because they're very protective of their mother and they know what happened between us," I said seriously.

"They know who I am? And whose fault is that? That I was never there for my children? Yours! You were the one that didn't tell me, you kept my children from me!" He yelled standing up; I took a step forward, growling in warning.

"Its your fault because you left me! Broken and Pregnant so don't try turning this on me and of course they know who you are, they know everything I know about you because I used to tell them about you, they had a choice on whether or not they wanted to meet you and they decided not to," I yelled back, I saw the others watching and shifting uncomfortably.

"So you've been turning them against me over the years? I hate you, you selfish bitch, I could of got to know my children," He snarled, I lowered myself into a crouch.

"Did you ever try to find me Damon? I would never do that! I'm not that spiteful and they were the ones that decided to stay away, I gave them the choice," I snarled back, ready to spring at him, my fangs out once again, my vision tinting red as rage consumed me.

Thankfully Peter stepped in between as at that moment, his hands up in a peaceful gesture, I stood out of my crouch, my snarls dying down then glanced to where Damon was stood, my eyes filled with tears as I thought through what he said, he took a step towards me, an apologetic look on his face but I took a step back then turned and raced upstairs to my bedroom, locking the door behind me.

I slid down the wall as sobs consumed me, I wrapped an arm around my waist as I tried to hold myself together my heart shattering even more as I remembered Damon's words, he hated me, I didn't ever want him to hate me, love me yes but never hate. I honestly tried to tell him but he wouldn't even talk to me. I would never turn my children against their father, I just told them the facts and they didn't want to meet him but they'd have to now. I just hoped they got along.

If he upsets any of my children then all hell will break loose and I won't be held responsible for my actions. I am severely protective of my children. My sobs were just dying down when I heard a knock on my bedroom door. I stood up and opened it, there in front of me stood Rosalie. I wiped my eyes and took a deep breath, managing to give her a weak smile.

"You okay?" She asked softly, placing a hand on my shoulder in a comforting manner.

"No but I will be, I should be used to him hurting me by now huh?" My voice was thick with emotion.

"Are you coming back downstairs?" She asked nervously.

I nodded then walked back downstairs at human pace, trying to gain some composure before I hurt Damon. I stopped by my liquor cabinet and grabbing a bottle of Jack Daniels and drinking straight from the bottle to numb my pain. Rose came in a few seconds later, everyone was looking everywhere but where I was stood, Damon was on the other side of the room with his head in his hands.

"So how do you even know the Volturi?" Rose asked.

"Who do you think created the Volturi and made the Vampire Laws?" I asked.

"You did?" Char asked.

"Yep, I visit them every year to, they are like my family, Caius and Athendora even adopted me as their daughter and for my Uncle Marcus, I brought his dear, sweet Didyme back from the grave, I threatened Aro with a dethroning if he ever tried to kill her again," I concluded.

"So who's turn is it now?" I asked cheerfully, the alcohol taking effect.

"I'll go," Rosalie stepped forward and sat on the sofa, I saw her looking around nervously, I sat beside her and took her hand in mine, giving it a gentle squeeze.

Okay so I may have had to change some ages and dates but hopefully nobody will mind, I just wanted it to all come together which is difficult without changing some ages and dates. Yes, Elena is a vampire in this story and you will find out how it happened in the next chapter, I hope you like it. Check out my poll on which story I should focus on after this one has been completed.
