Dear Diary,

Twice in one day, I haven't done this in a while. My aunt Jenna found out that my birth mother's full name was Isobel Flemming, she was Mr. Saltzman's late wife.

She was a cheerleader, like me, maybe where I got it from.

I met with Isobel's high school friend, Trudie Peterson, I know I wasn't supposed to go alone, I but couldn't help myself.

I had to meet her.

Trudie didn't invite me inside her home, I invited myself and she served my vervain tea.

She knows about vampires, and I think it's because of Isobel. Isobel was turned by Damon, which would explain why there was never a body.

Damon was proud of what he did, I can't believe that I thought that he was redeemable.

Anyway, when Trudie kicked me out, a man was standing outside her house. He showed up at the Grill and he told me to stop looking for Isobel.

Someone compelled him to say this, maybe it was Isobel herself, then the man jumped in front of a truck.

I took his phone and called Isobel later that night when I was alone.

She hung up on me.

That's not even the craziest thing that's happened.

Earlier, I decided to do laundry, so as I was gathering up clothes to make a load. While I was gathering Jeremy's dirty clothing, I found a photo of Isobel with a guy, on his nightstand.

Why does Jeremy have a photo of Isobel?

Could he have overheard Jenna and me talking?

Or maybe Stefan and I?

If he overheard Stefan and me, I wonder what else he heard.

But that doesn't explain how he got this photo or who's in it.

Who is this man in the photo?

What is his connection to Isobel?

Could this man be my father?
