Chapter 2

"Hi, my name is Stefan Salvatore." I smiled, "My name is Emma Peirce" Stefan's face turned extremely pale. Elena looks at him, "are you okay Stefan?" he looks at Elena and nodded. "Yeah, no I'm fine just hungry." He walks over to the bench and sits down. "Is he okay"? I asked Elena. She looked at him, "I think he just needs food" she said. We get back over to the team, and everyone is confused. The cops were driving down the road all weird. We went back to working on our routines, Caroline looks behind her and a guy in an old car pulls up the man had blue eyes and black hair. He was a bit older but not by much. All I know is that he is out of high school. She looks at us. "Okay, we will pick practice up tomorrow after school. " Caroline walks over to the car and gets in. Elena and Bonnie don't look happy about it. "Who was that? " They both look over at me, "That's Damon Salvatore. Stefan's older brother. "

I walked away from the field and got changed into the locker room. After that I started heading home, I see Damon again as I was walking home. He was at the Mystic Grill. He stares at me as I walk by, and he starts to follow me. I continued to walk and then I came across Stefan. "Hey, Emma. Are you walking home alone?" He looked at me with worried eyes, He also looks back behind me knowing Damon was following. "Actual yeah I am, I always do." He sighed, " I can give you a ride if you'd like one. It going to be dark soon and I would hate for anything to happen to you." I smiled "Yeah, that would be nice" Demon finally makes it over to us, "Hello brother," he said with a big grin on his face. Stefan did not look happy to see him, He also moves in between Damon and me. "So, whom might this young lady be?" He smiled at me moving closer, the sun has set completely now, and no one is outside they are either inside the mystic grill or at home. Stefan looked at Damon "I'm just taking her home. You do not need to be talking to her" Damon's smile dispersed, "Come on Stefan let me get to know the girl. What's the harm." Stefan looked down and then around to make sure no one was around. Demon took that chance and grabbed me and ran, he ran so fast it was unbelievable and unreal. No one could run this fast ever. So how is he running this fast?

We come to a stop in the middle of the woods. Damon looks me in the eyes and then bites my neck. I tried to scream but nothing came out, I tried so hard to break free, but I couldn't he was too strong. I started to see nothing, my world start going black. The last thing I see before I black out is Stefan running just as fast as Damon did. He threw Damon across the ground, and I fell. I was so cold, and my eyes wanted to rest. I closed my eyes, it felt like an eternal slumber, I felt like I was asleep for years, but I woke up a few minutes later to Stefan. "Are you okay?" I looked at him with tired eyes, he looked me in the eyes and then said " Forget all that happened tonight. I found you in the woods attacked by an animal" After he said that my mind went blank, and I blacked out once again. I woke up in the hospital with Elena by my side, she looked worried. I wondered why; I went to speak but my neck hurt like a bitch. Elena looks at me, "Hey, don't try to speak right now. You need rest." I closed my eye and slept for a while longer, it felt good to rest though the meds they have me on are helping me relax. So, I am not too upset about being in the hospital.

I slept for almost the whole day, I get up and walk around the room. I look out the door and there was Stefan, he was coming in again with Elena after school. They both come walking over to me. I make my way back over to the bed, but they come in before I sit down. " You should be in bed and not walking around so much Emma. You lost a lot of blood. I make a face as I was turned around, but I feel like he knew how I felt. " I feel perfectly fine., I'm tired of being in this hospital." He sighed and looked at me, "I get that, but you need to get better first, that animal hurt you pretty bad." Elena looked at me worried.

**later, that week**

I got out of the hospital finally. I didn't go home after I got out, I went straight out to town and went to the Mystic Grill. I sat down at a booth in the back of the room, I could overhear a familiar voice. A man to be exact, I get up to go to the restroom and I see the man that I was hearing. It was the guy they picked up Caroline from practice earlier this week. He walks over to me, "Why hello, long time no see." He smiled at me looking me up and down. He stops at my necklace, "So that necklace, very interesting. May I see it?" I nodded and he comes closer to me and picks it up, "Hmm looks like a necklace I once had in my family. What did you say your name was again?" I looked up at him, "Emma." He grinds, "Full name?" I sighed, "Emma Peirce." I raised an eyebrow. After I told him my full name, he stepped back from me and walked away. I watched as he left the Grill. That was interesting but I don't care. I had over to the bathroom and forget why I was heading there in the first place.

**Damon's POV**

I made my way to Stefan. "We have a problem" I look at Stefan. "What is the issue now Damon?" I go over closer to him, "Emma is not whom you thought she is not some normal teenager from Mystic Falls." Stefan looks at me like I am crazy, "How is she not normal?" I pull out my phone and show him the picture of the necklace. "This necklace remember, we gave it to Kathrine years ago. And her full name. Is Emma Peirce. " Stefan's eyes widen and he looks back at Emma who is still in the grill. "Are you sure she is related to Kathrine?" I sigh, "I have a strong feeling about it. I am just not sure who she is and why did i not notice that when I drank her blood the other night. I know what Kathrine's taste is like she would have had similarities."

**Emma's POV**

I leave the Mystic Grill and start to head home; it was Friday night, so I don't have to worry about making it there by a certain time. I walked by Stefan and Damon, and as I walked by, they stared at me, it felt like they were piercing their eyes into my skull. I continued to walk away. They started to follow me; I could tell. All I hear is their footsteps in sync behind me. I walk a bit faster, we were halfway through the woods, close to where Stefan's house. I was hoping they would turn but they don't, they both appeared in front of me. Weren't they just behind me how the fuck are they in front of me. I step back from the and start going in the other direction, but they were surrounding me now. I start running in the other direction away from their house, but Damon went in front of me, and Stefan grabs my arms they both take me into their house and sit me down on the couch. "Who are you?" Stefan asked me in a serious tone of voice. "Emma" They started to sigh, "Who are you?" I didn't answer this time, because I have no clue who they thought I am or why they think anything of me in the first place.

They pull out a picture of a girl and show it to me, "Where is she?" I looked at the picture and it was Elena. " Elena is at home, isn't she?" they both look at me, "This is not Elena, and you should know that. Now, where is she?" I sit there and wondered what they were on because that was Elena in the picture. Stefan looked at my face, "Damon maybe she doesn't know, I mean she wasn't known to be mother material in the first place." Damon nodded his head. " Is there any proof of her being born?" Stefan nodded, "I am going to go check right now, Emma Stay here." Stefan leaves in a flash. Damon stands there and stares at me. He looked mad but also pleased, why is that I wish I knew? Stefan returned with a file in his hands, "I found her file, but it is very small." He reads it but not for long, "Her name is Emma Marie Salvatore…" They both look at me, my face kind of lost its color. They said my last name is Salvatore, which is wrong but if he got my file from birth maybe I was lied to growing up. He continued to talk, "Born on April 12th, 1993. Mother Kathrine Peirce and Father... "He paused and looked at Damon. While Stefan paused, I made my way out the door and ran as far as I could. I then hid in a tree high up; I was great ae climbing trees it was my way of escaping the world below.

I watched as they both left the house looking around the property for me. Stefan and Damon met back at the front of the house. The demon was looking closely at the tree I was near. I could slightly hear what they were saying, Damon was smelling for something. I started to realize something, the myths, and legends of Mystic Falls are about vampires, werewolves, and witches. Damon and Stefan can move fast and are cold all the time. Like vampires, Oh my GOD they are vampires... This means Damon is smelling for my blood, I still have a Band-Aid on because my wound is bleeding still. I look down and there they are staring right at me; I see Damon cross his arms and Stefan looked like he was disappointed. "Would you get down here, NOW!" Damon yelled to me. I didn't listen, I stayed right where I was. I did not feel like getting killed by Vampires. No one would believe the truth about how I died. Damon was getting restless and started to climb up the tree after me, I start making my way to the other trees that connect with the one I am in now. He makes it up to me a lot quicker than I thought he would, but I had already made it to the next tree. "Emma quit climbing!" Damon yells to me again. I continue and go higher this time, I got higher, but I stepped wrong on the last branch and lost my balance. I started to fall out of the tree hitting every branch and breaking some too. It hurt bad falling out of the tree, I got close to the bottom and Stefan catches me. All I felt was pain, but I need to get away. I try to fight my way out of Stefan's arms. He was holding me tight as Damon was getting down. They both look at me and then my last movement I hear my leg snap. "Ow," I cried in pain. Stefan walked me inside and lied me down on the couch.

Damon sits next to me and picks my legs up and puts them on his lap. He was feeling my leg when I heard a snap. The more he touched it the more it hurt, I was fighting back the tears. "OWw, Fuck you!" Damon looks at me, "Language. And this wouldn't have happened if you didn't run away. You are not in any danger Emma," Stefan brought out the medical kit. He opens it up and starts to cut my pant leg and then Damon was wrapping my leg with the stuff doctors use for casts. I flinch in pain as he continued to wrap my leg. He gets closer to my knee, "What are these scars from?" Damon asked me, "From the last time I fell out of... ow. a tree." Damon looks at me, "You are not very good at climbing trees I see. Your bone came out last time I see." I nodded, that's all we said for the next hour of working on my leg. I looked away from them and stare at the wall, not knowing what I was going to be able to do next now since my leg is broken, I probably have a concussion and they are wanting information and ugh I just don't know what to do.

Stefan sits next to me while Damon was finishing up my leg, "Emma, please look at us. We are not going to hurt you, we want to help you but we also need to explain to you who we are." I didn't turn to look at them, I was scared to, to be honest.
