I woke up and didn't know where I was. It looked familar but I couldn't put my finger on it. Ilooked around and saw a shelf full of journals. I was at the Salvatores' house. But this isn't where I went to sleep last night. I was at my own house crying myself to sleep.
Victoria, you're awake. Stefan said as he came into the room rather fast.
Why am I here? I was at my own house last night. I siad.
I know. I have bad news. Last night your father invited a vampire into the house. It attacked your ffather and killed him. He said.
What?! Why would Dad do that? I asked.
I dont know. damon passed by, heard yhou crying ans saw your father dead. People around here don't know about vampires. So it was an animal attack and you were satying here when it happen. Stefan said.
okay. Wow, he's dead. I said.
I'm very sorry. He said.
I'm not! Do you know how many years of beatings I got from him? I asked.
No, I don't. He said.
Well, too many to count over the years. I'm actually relieved he's dead but I feel bad about it. I said.
I'm sorry. He said again.
I don't understand why thevampire didn't kill me too. I said.
Your farther had vervain in his system. I guess the vampire didn't want a chance to take in mais of vervain. So he left you. Stefan said.
I guess so. What dia is it? I asked.
Sunday night. Why? He asked.
I missed another week of school! I groaned.
It's fine. He said.
No it's not. Normal kids don't miss a week of school. I said.
You can be normal now. Stefan said.
I'm not normal! I don't have a mother or a father. I said.
So neither does Jeremy or Elana. He said.
But they have each other. I said.
Damon and I are here for you. We are family. Don't forget that. He said.
Thanks. I said.
Are you hungery? He asked.
Yeah sort of. I said.
Get dressed, we will have to go into town to get you some food. He said.
That's too much trouble. I'm fine. I said.
No, you have to eat. It's okay. I can call Elana and Jeremy to meet us up. He said.
Okay, thank you. I said.
I got up and got dressed.
I walked outside to where Stefan was waiting.
How are we going to get there? I asked.
I'm going to run. He siad.
Can you explain a little more, please. I said.
Oh right. Well I can run really fast and you can ride on my back. He said.
That works. I said.
I jumped up on his back and we were off.
Is Jeremy coming? I asked as I jumped off his back.
I don't know. Elana said he was somewhere. He said.
We walked in and saw Elana sitting at a table.
Does she know? I asked.
No, not yet. Stefan said sadly.
Oh. I said.
I saw Jeremy over at the counter talking to Vicki.
I sighed in frustration. She could use him all she wants and he never realized it. People can be so mean.
