My new life with Damon Salvatore

Adopted

I slowly opened my eyes when I woke up. I looked around and realized that I was lying in my bed back at the boarding house. I looked over and saw Damon asleep in an armchair next to my bed. His head was resting on his hand on the arm of the chair.

“Damon,” I said. my voice was groggy from not speaking for a while.

He opened his eyes and sat up and looked at me and got up and sat on the edge of my bed next to me. 

“Hey how are you?” He asked.

“You try being tortured,” I said sitting up slowly.

He moved the hair out of my face and passed me a glass filled with blood.

“Here drink this it will make you feel better,” He said.

I drank the full glass in only a few gulps I was starving.

“Are they all dead?” I asked.

“Yeah, we don’t have to worry about them anymore,” Damon said.

“Stefan what the hell is this! I am not Katherine! You cannot replace her with me,” Elena yelled from Stefan’s room.

“Elena let me explain it’s not what is seems,” Stefan said.

“No I don’t want to hear it Stefan just stay away from me.”

A few moments later the  front door slammed shut and I heard Elena’s car rush out of the drive way.

“What was that about?” I asked Damon.

“I think I have an idea,” Damon replied.

We both got up and walked into Stefan’s room.

“She found out didn’t she,” Damon said holding up a picture.

I took the picture from Damon and looked at it. It was a picture of Katherine from 1864. The only thing is that it looks just like Elena.

“This is twisted,” I said looking up at Stefan.

“It’s not like that,” Stefan said getting frustrated. “Sure the resemblance is what drew me in but Elena is nothing like Katherine and that’s not why I love her.”

“Well it’s still messed up,” I said putting the picture back down on the coffee table.

“I have to go see her and explain this to her,” Stefan said making his way to the door.

“Oh no you’re not, all you’re going to do is make it worse. I’ll go and talk to her. It’s the least I can do; you did help save my life. Even though it was your fault for me being there in the first place,” I said stopping Stefan.

“I don’t know,” Stefan said.

“I know that I’m not Elena’s favorite person but I think that I can help,” I said.

“Fine,” Stefan said giving up.

“But first I need to eat like 10 blood bags, I am starving.” I said.

After I finished off 7 blood bags I felt 100% better. I took Damon’s car and made my way over to Elena’s. I got there and knocked on the door. Elena answered the door and saw that it was me and tried to shut it. I stuck my arm out and held the door open.

She opened the door back up and said, “What do you want Torrie?”

“First I wanted to say thank you for last night. Second I was wondering if we could talk so if you could maybe invite me in,” I said.

“Fine, Torrie would you like to come in?”

“Sure,” I said walking into her house.

“Come into the kitchen I just made coffee,” Elena said leading me into the kitchen.

“I know that you must be freaking out about the whole you looking like Katherine thing right now. I don’t blame you for freaking out at Stefan like that. If I was in your position right now I would probably kill Stefan,” I said.

“I don’t understand how we look exactly alike,” She said pouring us some coffee.

“Well I guess that Katherine had a child before she got turned,” I said then taking a sip of my coffee. “You know that Stefan loves you for you and not because you look like Katherine. You have to be an idiot not to see that.”

“Yah but I’m a Gilbert and Katherine’s a Peirce,” She said. “Unless. No I can’t be.”

“What?” I said. Then it clicked, Elena was adopted.

“I can’t be adopted. My birth certificate says I’m a Gilbert,” Elena said starting to cry.

“Elena your dad was a doctor, he probably had connections,” I said.

“This can’t be true,” She said crying harder.

I got out of my chair that I was sitting in and walked over to Elena and hugged her. “It’s ok we will find out the truth and set everything straight. But you know that you really want to be Stefan right now, you will feel better with him.”

“Your right,” she said wiping away her tears.

“Come on I’ll give you a ride over,” I said.

“Torrie, thank you. I think that we can be good friends,” She said giving me a hug.

“Me to,” I said.

I really missed having a girlfriend around. Someone I can hang with and talk to. Maybe me and Elena can really be good friends.

We arrived back at the boarding house and Elena ran right up to Stefan’s room and I walked into the living room and lied down on the couch. Damon came in and walked over to me and lifted my feet up so he could sit down and laid my legs on top of his.

“Nice work today,” He said grinning at me.

“Thank you, it’s one of my many talents,” I said.

He laughed and said, “I’m sorry about yesterday.”

I sighed and said, “It’s cool. I mean you’re still in love with your ex from 146 years ago. That’s not obsessive or anything.”

“I’m not in love with her anymore. She lied to me and manipulated me. She can rot in hell for all I care,” He said looking at me.

I smiled at him and sat up and kissed him. He kissed me back and lied down with me for a while just watching the fire burn.
