Damon spent his next few days quiet, not even bothering Stefan, which was a surprise, then he suddenly left just promising to be back in a couple of days. Alexandra and Stefan had shrugged. Alexandra also had to talk to Elena so she would give Stefan a chance, then she safely monitored Caroline and Matt's relationship, it was fantastic, she checked on Bonnie and on Tyler, and since Damon was out of town she decided to go grave robbing and retrieve the Bennett grimoire from Guiseppe's tomb. She placed it inside a safe box and hid it inside her closet under some clothes.
Damon returned after a week, his mood was somber and he called both Stefan and Alexandra to the parlor.
"It seems that our niece has some explaining to do, Stefan," Damon said as he crossed his arms.
Stefan looked at Alexandra confused and then back to Damon.
"Start talking," Damon said.
Alexandra fidgeted on the chair she was in, "Well, recently I've been having some weird precognitions, I think, and at first I wanted to scare uncle Damon with them, but after dad died, they've been weirder," she said, the lie was smooth, but then again she had been lying for her entire life.
"We're not descendants from magic," Damon said, his arms crossed.
"Actually we are," Alexandra said, "there's this creepy guy named Silas, he is the first ever immortal and we are from his line, in the same way that Elena is a Petrova Doppelganger, uncle Stefan looks just like this Silas guy."
"And were is this Silas guy?" Damon asked, Alexandra smiled at him.
"Trapped in some creepy island in Nova Scotia, if he were to be left free it would mean the apocalypse and we'd all die," she said, Damon squinted his eyes at her but nodded.
"What else?"
"It depends, I'm full with information, you'd just need to ask," she said, Stefan and Damon exchanged glances.
"What do you know of the night we got turned into vampires?" Stefan asked.
"Well, there was a small battle and twenty six people were trapped underneath the church, all vampires, saved by Emily Bennett as a favor to Damon, Katerina was supposed to be there, but she got out, cause George Lockwood guy of the time was a triggered werewolf and the device affected him, so they helped each other out and she escaped the massacre, only that the vampires didn't burn, they're still there, desiccated, there's this woman Pearl, who's daughter, Anna, also escaped, she will come and try to open the tomb," Alexandra said.
Stefan was shocked to hear that, while Damon just downed another glass of whiskey.
"Is this true?" Stefan asked.
"Yes, I've confirmed it, I saw Kathy living it up in florida with some friends, even a new boytoy" Damon said.
"Mason Lockwood, she will be triggering his werewolf curse," she explained.
"Werewolves?" Damon asked, she nodded.
"They were created by a curse that a powerful native american witch named Inadu cast on her family when they killed her, it created the seven main werewolf lines and it spawned from there, she cursed her family to turn into the same creatures they hunted," she said and smiled awkwardly at Damon and Stefan.
"What is Katherine's plan?" Stefan asked after a moment, Alexandra looked at him.
"She wants to buy her freedom from Klaus, Original Vampire that she tricked once, she's been running ever since, I hope he kills her," she said as she got comfortable on the couch.
Stefan was about to ask something else when Damon stopped him.
"Enough with Witchypedia, you say that after I killed Zach you suddenly gained all knowledge," he asked, she nodded, "if anyone were to know, you'd be in danger?"
"I guess so," she said.
Damon ran a hand through his hair and looked at Stefan.
"Anything else we should know?"
"Logan Fell got turned into a vampire and its trying to get invited into the Gilbert home, he's looking for the Gilbert Compass, he won't find it," she said with a grin.
Stefan stood quickly and looked at Damon.
"Why won't he find it?" Stefan asked.
"Cause I have it, so go stake Logan or something, it would help with the vampire situation," she said.
Damon and Stefan dealt with Logan Fell, it was easy and they both turned the body to the Sheriff. Their next plan was to find Anna, Alexandra also advised Stefan to tell the truth about Katherine to Elena and so he did, during the day and Alexandra prevented Elena from leaving the boarding house telling her that it was stupid to do so since there was still a vampire on the loose.
Alexandra then decided to check on her friends, most were okay, save for Tyler who was bored since Matt was with Caroline most time. So she made time for Tyler in her schedule and decided to visit him.
"Sweet ride," he said as she exited her rover.
"I know, it's Damon's 'sorry you lost your dad' gift," she explained as they both walked into his house.
"It's a nice gift," he said as he led her upstairs to his room.
"He feels guilty, since I got stuck with him as my guardian," she said, Tyler smirked at her, she sat on the small couch that Tyler had in his room.
"And how's that working out for you?" he asked.
Alexandra shrugged, "Okay, I guess, I almost ran into Stefan and Elena having sex, which was weird as fuck, Care's always with Matt, and Bonnie is reconecting with her Grams, which good for her."
"Yeah, tell me about it," he said as he sat on his bed, "sometimes I feel like this entire town is getting some save for me."
"And that's worrying you?" Alexandra laughed.
"Yes, very funny, laugh about it Alex," Tyler said, "it's basically your fault, you sent Vicky away and last I heard, she was joining a convent."
"Good for her," Alexandra snickered, she had asked that small favor from Lexi, it was great and Vicky got to live her life away from Mystic Falls and a premature death.
"Yeah, very good for her," Tyler grumbled.
"You know, this entire town getting some shouldn't worry you so much," Alexandra said with a small smile on her face.
"Yeah, why not?" he asked.
"Cause, well, eventually you'll meet a girl and fall in love or something," she said with a small smile.
"Yeah sure, my options are very limited, there's you," he said with a grin.
Alexandra rolled her eyes, "not happening, you stole my first kiss, remember?"
"And you stole Matt's, he was saving it for Elena," Tyler said, Alexandra glared at him.
"Woe is me, Elena didn't have Matt's first kiss, she had his virginity, I think she did okay," Alexandra pointed out.
"Valid, I don't get why you had to makeout with that idiot, Jake, was it?" Tyler asked.
Alexandra shrugged, "I wanted to have a real kiss or something."
"Why don't ask Matt or me?"
"Are you crazy? It would have been hell and I was not going to put our friendship in jeopardy over some kisses," she said.
Tyler seemed to ponder her words before he moved to sit next to her, "kisses are fine."
"I can and will hurt you, Ty," Alexandra said as he approached her, he just smirked at her before pressing his lips to her.
She had him in a headlock a moment later after they had kissed.
"Ouch, Alex, the fuck?"
"I warned you, it was a nice kiss tho', 7.5 out of 10, keep practicing," she told him as she let go of him, a smirk on her face.
"You're mean to me," he said pouting, they looked at each other before they burst out laughing.
"So, Rainbow Road Revenge? Loser pays for dinner?" she asked, Tyler smirked.
"You're so on, Salvatore."
Alexandra returned home, stopping by the library to pick up a book for Tyler, since he claimed to be allergic to libraries. She smiled and shook her head at the thought, she was perusing for her book when she noticed Jeremy... and Anna, well fuck. She was quick to text Stefan and Damon and after checking her book out she stayed in her car waiting for her uncles to arrive. They arrived and told her to walk in and distract Jeremy while they dealt with Anna, she sighed but nodded.
"Hey Jer!" she called him with a smile.
"Alexandra, hi," he greeted her, her eyes went to Anna and she waved awkwardly.
"I… uh… I was looking for some comics to gift Matt for Christmas and was wondering if you could help me for a moment, sorry for the interruption," she said, fiddling with her hands.
"Oh, sure, I'll be right back, Anna," Jeremy said as he stood, Alexandra smiled at Anna and mouthed a quick sorry before she winked at the female vampire.
She took Jeremy to the back to where the comics were and he began lecturing her in the comics, she actually wrote down some of the info and thanked him when they were done. She walked Jeremy back to his previous to find it empty.
"Oh, where's your friend?" she asked.
Jeremy shrugged, "I guess she had to go, I had just met her."
"Oh shoot, sorry Jer, you should've told me," she said kindly.
"It's okay, I was happy to help, it distracted me for a while, this homework's been hard," he said eyeing the papers.
"I could help you, maybe? I like history."
"I'd appreciate it," he said.
Alexandra smiled at him and sat on the table and proceeded to help him with his homework.
When Alexandra returned home Elena was there, she greeted the brunette and was about to walk to her room when she noticed that Elena was crying. She sighed before walking back to her friend.
"Do I have to hit Uncle Stef?" she asked with a smirk.
Elena laughed and shook her head, "I just found out that I'm adopted."
"Oh, that," Alexandra said, Elena frowned at her.
"Did you know?"
"Just recently, did Stefan tell you about my Witchypedia thing?" she asked Elena, the girl shook her head, "Ah well, here's a secret, after Uncle Damon killed dad I just gained knowledge and I know certain things."
"So you know who her parents are?" Stefan asked entering the parlor, Alexandra nodded.
"Do you want to know, Elena?" Alexandra asked, Elena looked between the two Salvatores and nodded, "Your father is John Gilbert, a dick, and your mother is Isobel Saltzman nee Flemming, John got her pregnant while they were young and Grayson and Miranda Gilbert agreed to keep you and take you in as their own, Isobel continued with her studies and went and married Alaric Saltzman, she became a professional researcher and became obsessed with the Curse of the Sun and The Moon and Vampires in general and met Damon Salvatore, she cheated on Alaric with Damon and then asked her to turn her into a vampire, he did and she left, making everyone believe that she was dead, although John Gilbert knows that she is alive and that she's a vampire, they are currently working with Katerina Petrova."
As Alexandra finished speaking she was met with silence, Damon had joined them and was also surprised to have heard the explanation. Alexandra blinked several times and realized that she was not controlling her information anymore, she was a little fucked up.
"That was informative, and explains why your new teacher tried to kill me," Damon said.
"Did you find the other vampire, the one Anna turned?" Alexandra asked, Damon and Stefan frowned, "His name is Noah, he delivers pizza, is anyone hungry?"
They ordered pizza, and the vampire delivered, Stefan and Damon both sighed before killing it and Damon called sheriff Liz. The blonde woman arrived several minutes later to find Alexandra and Elena crying, Alexandra recounted her fabricated tale to the sheriff about the pizza delivery that tried to kill her and that her cousins had been fast enough to save her.
"This is the third one, Damon," Liz said while Alexandra and Elena eavesdropped from the staircase.
"I don't know what to say Sheriff, my baby cousin almost got killed, it was luck that I was home at this time," Damon said, Liz nodded.
"Poor girls, will they be fine?" Liz asked.
"Yes, Stefan is with them, I will go talk to them so they don't freak, I'm thinking of calling Miss Sommmers to allow Elena to stay here tonight, I could tell her that Alexandra's been feeling sad about Zach's passing," Damon said, Liz seemed to consider her options.
"Leave Jenna to me, you make sure those girls aren't traumatized," she said.
"Of course, Sheriff, thank you," Damon said.
The next few days were tense. Alexandra ended up gifting Caroline with a vervain necklace which Caroline being Caroline declared that it was their lesbian necklace. They ended up finding the last vampire at the Grill and for the surprise of Damon, Stefan, Bonnie, Elena and Matt, who happened to be a bystander, Alexandra was the one who killed him. The gang ended up explaining Matt the truth about vampires, leaving out the fact that Stefan and Damon were vampires. Alexandra explained to him that not all vampires were bad, but that newly turned ones were dangerous.
She had explained to him that she had met a nice vampire lady that she was friends with, and Matt had accepted the oddity as Alexandra being herself. Then of course the Fifties Dance happened, Alexandra attended it with Damon, since he wanted an excuse to go and corner Alaric. He got her some real clothes for the fifties and she was excited about her prospects. They managed to corner Alaric, since there were no more vampires around and both Damon and Alexandra had to explain everything to him, so he didn't kill Damon.
"Your life is a lie, sorry," Alexandra said apologetically.
"How would you truly know that? You could be defending him," Alaric said, Alexandra crossed her arms and sighed.
"Isobell gave you the ring you carry, it's a cursed Gilbert ring, last worn by Samantha Gilbert, if you die while wearing it you will suffer the same curse that killed Samantha, so I wouldn't wear it," Alexandra said.
Alaric looked down to his hand and slowly removed the ring.
"She got it from John Gilbert, her highschool sweetheart, he got pregnant and they gave the child away," Alexandra continued, and then smiled, "You can ask Jenna about Isobel."
"How do you know this?" he asked, Alexandra shrugged.
"Salvatore Curse, we think, not certain yet," she answered.
Alaric looked between her and Damon, he couldn't deny that they looked alike and the girl seemed at ease around the vampire. Alaric nodded at them and the two Salvatores smirked at him before they left. It was eerie and creepy.
