Title: Little Sister Author: Alex Lee Email: smilsmrtmth@aol.com Rating: General Spoilers: VD Disclaimers: The Vampire Diaries belong to L.J. Smith. Summary: What if there was another Salvatore? One that Damon hept a secret for centuries. How would Stefan react? -=- Annabella waited and waited. Damon was late again. She skipped down a dirt trail in the woods. She was supposed to meet him here even though she didn't like the dark and she was tired not to mention it looked like it was about to storm. She twirled and didn't she the stick. She tripped and hurt her ankle. She sobbed quietly until there was a noise. "Damon?" Annabella asked quietly to the dark. "Marie? What are you doing on the ground? You're going to ruin your nightgown," Damon said coming out of the shadows. Damon was twelve while Annabella was eight. She was Stefan's twin and he didn't know. She was so tiny that no one knew she would be born. Her hair was down past her waist and it was as dark as Damon's but had a slight wave like Stefan's hair. Damon picked her up. She was so light that he was worried that she was underweight. He took her to the doctor as she clung to him. They said she was fine. It was midnight and storming as they went to his room. She could only sleep with him with her. Soon, there was a knock on his door. "Damon?" asked a quiet little boy with dark hair and green eyes. "Yes, little brother?" Damon asked. "I-I can't sleep. Can I-I stay with you?" Stefan asked weak, vulnerable, and young. Damon couldn't refuse but he had Annabella with him and for some unknown reason his father didn't want Stefan to know about her. Annabella heard them and crawled under the bed. Stefan and Damon entered the bed. After Stefan fell asleep, which was quickly, he pulled Annabella from the ground into his arms and she slept peacefully there. * * * Stefan always wondered why his brother went to the woods as much as he could so one day before Damon could go to the woods Stefan followed the dirt trail to a small cabin. There was a girl outside. She looked about ten. Stefan was twelve. She was dressed in a red dress and rubies. "You are not supposed to be here. Where is Damon?" the young girl asked. "You know Damon?" Stefan asked. She nodded. "How?" "You shouldn't be here. Go home." "What is your name?" "Go home. You shouldn't be here." "You look like Damon," Stefan pointed out. Annabella thought this was it. "Go home and don't come back with out Damon's permission," Annabella said. "Go home the woods aren't a kind place...Stefan." She went inside. * * * After Damon became a vampire he turned Annabella into one. When she asked how he became one he rushed out and when he didn't come in a month's time she left. She wasn't going to wait any longer for nothing. He already took her heart and disappeared with it. When he came back, he never realized how long he was gone. A year-a decade-a century? Her not being here for him ripped him apart because they were one person in different people. Annabella watched over Stefan. Thinking over and over of how she would tell him. How she would introduce herself to him and they would be the best brother and sister ever. Along the way she met her soulmate. He went hunting one night. She followed him because she was worried about him. She found Damon over top of the body. His body. Her soulmate's body. Her soulmate's dead body. He didn't know he hurt again. He didn't know she was so close. One day in Fell's Church she found her soulmate was an old soul. She went to a witch that day unaware of the consequences. The witch turned her raven black hair blonde. Her dark green eyes blue. She wiped Annabella's memory. The witch renamed her Elena Gilbert. She killed her soulmate and made her fall in love with her brothers. The witch was jealous of her. The witch was Bonnie. Bonnie pretended everything was normal. Annabella remembered and went to Damon saying, "Get over it! She is gone!" "How can I? I loved her!" he yell back. "Because /she/ was /me/! I am Elana! How do you think I went completely missing one day! That Bonnie turned me into your and Stefan's fantasy and /boy/ I did NOT like it!" She ran to Stefan hoping to sort this out by now. She went in by his window. "Who are you?" he asked stressed about Elena disappearing. "Annabella Salvatore," she said. "Damon cheated on you I assume," he said with a sigh. "In a way," Annabella said. "But more importantly I'm your-" Damon put his hand over her mouth. "You can't tell him. He can't know." She kicked him in the shins and he let go. "What can't I know?" Stefan asked. "I'm your-" "Annabella!" "Sister," she said with a sinister smile. "I'm your twin." Annabella caught him when he fainted. She let out a giggle. "Weak aren't you, little brother?" Damon asked. Fin.
