Chapter 20

Alice POV

"Alice" Damon said softly as he approached me carefully as I was in a statue like state staring at the window where my precious Melody was taken from me.

"Damon" I said matching his soft tone I then went towards him to give him a hug. "She is gone" I whispered out loud from the comfort of Damon's arms still trying to come to terms of the reality of all of this.

"Alice my daughter you have to tell us what has happened" said my mother while holding my hand in hers this simple act used to bring comfort to me when I was a kid. "Father he is… he is alive" I said in a shaky voice.

"Alice are you sure you saw him" said Stefan in disbelief. Well it does seem a bit farfetched I guess I thought to myself.

"Yes Stefan our father is back and he took my daughter away" I said gaining the courage to stand back up and look Stefan in the eye.

3rd Person

In the all too familiar woods outside Mystic Falls stood a man a dangerous man with an otherworldly grace about him stepped into the woods with a ting baby nestled into his arms. Now this was an un-usual sight to see .Christian had been following this mans every steep sleeking behind him like a sly fox.

"Why are you following me boy?" said the man in a powerful Italian accent.

"I am just here to make sure that you don't cause too much mayhem and misery" said Christian sarcasm clearly evident in his voice with the way this guy was acting Christian couldn't be sure what he was going to do next.

"Oh don't worry I am just executing a plan get my wonderful family back together" Father said Salvatore said with an uneasy evil glint in his eye.

"As long as you get the job done" said Christian in the most confident voice that he could muster. So the plan was set in motion there is going to be a Salvatore family reunion no matter what.

Alice POV

Every minute I have to sit waiting her seems like a life time. I jumped off the sofa an attempted to race out of this home turned prison I have had it up to here with listening to their whispers about me when they think I cannot hear I am not some porcelain doll. Strong arms lifted me up from the doorway "Damon!" I shouted trying to break free from his hold.

"Alice don't be stupid you can't go out there alone to face him" said the controlling voice that I know all too well to be Caroline.

"Guys I can't leave her….. my baby girl she is out there with that monster" I said while I was on the verge of tears.

"I guess that we are going to then" said Damon looking me straight in the eye daring me to challenge him.

"This is my fight I don't want to lose any of you all" I said in a more sombre tone.

"Look Alice we are in this together" said more surprisingly Stefan wow this must mean that they are really serious about this.

"Do you even know where your father is?" asked Caroline in a curious tone.

"Knowing our father it will be in some place of importance" said Damon aloud as he was pouring himself another glass of bourbon.

"Its gotta be the Mystic Falls woods!" I shouted aloud. The Mystic Falls woods wow that place did hold allot of happy memories and the stuff of dark twisted nightmares.

"It's time to stop that man once and for all" said my mother coming out of nowhere.

"Mother are you sure that you are up for this?" I questioned her.

"He has put our family through hell enough times it has to stop" my mother said in a confident yet caring tone she is still very much the same person I had loved from my childhood.

So it was decided we then figured out our master plan of action by the time we had left the mansion the sun's rays where starting to disappear from the sky.

"The cover of twilight will give us the perfect advantage to make our move" said mother as we walked out into the forest in the hopes of finding my father lurking in there.

A heard an all too familiar cunning voice say "Oh look it seems that the Salvatore family will finally be reunited after all this time". My father at that moment casually walked into my view dressed in his usual standard of high class fashion he was wearing a tailored suit.

"Oh but we don't have time for chit chat we have come her to finally put an end to you" my mother said in a way that felt like she had bottled up all this intense anger for years and now at last she has had the opportunity to release them.

My eyes scanned the forest floor looking for the slightest sign of Melody. The only thing that I came across was another person a man in the forest how had I not noticed him before. The man was about your average height 5'8, 5'9 or around that and his hair was shoulder length a rich dark brown colour with lose curls. Oh don't even get me started get me started on his lazy cocky grin that was plastered on his face you just had to looking at him for only a minute at least and you would already want to strangle the life out of him.

"You were supposed to get rid of the baby" said the man in a slightly irritated voice. Well that's my father he isn't one to follow the rules of others I thought.

"So are you another person that my father has roped into doing his bidding" Damon said in a mocking tone while looking the man up and down.

"Look this person has a name and its Christian not that it matters as I have some business to attend to" said the man we know now to be Christian he gazed around the surrounding area for a few moments then he disappeared like a flash of lightening.

All of a sudden I could hear muffled cries fading into the distance that could only mean one thing…. Melody! I made a move to follow the sound but I was stopped by my father.

"Alice dear how very rude of you to leave before we had a chance to chat" my father said in a scolding tone.

"What do you want father?" Stefan questioned him.

"I just want to talk….and also to sort out the monsters that you have become" said my father in a charming voice.

Christian POV

As I was walking away from the awkward family reunion I saw the baby wrapped in a thin cotton blanket lying on the forest floor. It was softly whimpering in a horse like voice she must have been here for hours I picked her up carefully into my arms. I took a deep breath to clear my thoughts you can't anger Elizabeth I kept telling myself willing me to do what is expected of me. Hours later I arrived at the front door if you would call it that of the shack the door swung open to reveal the infamous Elizabeth and the witch Emily.

"Bring it here!" shouted Elizabeth in an ear splitting voice. Well I had no other choice but to step inside.

20 years ago

In a peaceful forest the only sounds that could be heard was the light hearted screams of three children playing there. In the distance loud screams of terror erupted from the small settlement nearby.

"We have to go now" said a young barley five year old girl with short black hair in tight curls. She had wide grey eyes and tiny freckles splashed across hey chubby petite face her voice had traces of fear in it.

"Don't worry Elizabeth" said a young blond haired girl she looked around the age of nine she was the oldest of the trio.

"But Anabelle it sounds like trouble" said Elizabeth timidly in reply to the blond girl.

"You two should be having fun mother will be back soon" said a dark haired young boy of seven.

"Edwin's right come on" shouted Anabelle running over to catch up with him.

All of a sudden the smell of fresh blood creeped into the forest but what came after was much worse. A young women with long black hair caked with blood and shocking clod blue eyes walked past Elizabeth like a cat stalking her prey. The pint seized Elizabeth was rooted to the spot in fear it was as if she was a statue. The other two children were still laughing in delight at whatever they were playing together. At first all you could hear was silence as the body of Edwin dropped to the floor almost like a doll, a doll that had been played with a tad too much his limbs where barely attached to his body and blood soaked into his body like a second layer of skin.

It took a while for little Anabel's mind to process what happened before she raced over to Elizabeth as fast as she could. A las it was all for nothing she dropped to the ground just as the blood loss became too much.

"Run" Anabelle whispered just as her eyes started to close in front of Elizabeth.

Elizabeth seized her chance and ran back to her parents' house. When the vampire finally came into the clearing all that was there was Anabelle's body Elizabeth had gotton away.
