Chapter 26

                                    

                                          
Emma's POV
                          
I hear my doorbell ring and answer it straight away to see Damon there looking guilty. He was my long lost brother that I thought was dead until a week ago when Melanie had told me about him. I'm surprised that he didn't recognise me.
                          
"Hey Damon. What's up?" I ask trying not to give away that I'm surprised, sad and angry that he didn't recognise me or come to find me.
                          
"Hello Emma. Surprised to see me?" He asks smirking.
                          
"Not really. I thought you were dead until a week ago when Melanie told me about you." I say growling alittle.
                          
"Then why didn't you come find me?" He asks with his smirk dropping.
                          
"Me come find you?! Why didn't you come find me?! Why didn't you recognise me when you came here the other day?!" I exclaim furiously.
                          
"I was compelled to forget about you! Klaus did it! Why didn't you look for us?!" He shouts back. I take back a step. Us? Stefan's alive as well?!
                          
"I thought you were dead. I didn't think that you were alive. I thought you hated me." I flinch at that last sentence remembering back in 1864 when he chucked me against the wall and stabbed me with a knife for grassing on Katherine for being a vampire.
                          
"What are you talking about? I never hated you." He says confused.
                          
"So you don't remember the day that Katherine got took away and you found out that I grassed on her and so you chucked me against the wall and stabbed me with a knife! Leaving me to die!" I growl loudly at him, my face changing into my hybrid face.
                          
"I was compelled by Katherine to abuse you so you would run away and if you didn't then to abuse you more. I was blinded by my love for her that I didn't think about how I affected you. I'm sorry." He whimpers.
                          
"Whatever Damon. Anyway... What did you want?" I ask changing the subject.
                          
"I was wondering if you wanted to come home." He enquires.
                          
"This is my home now Damon. No past. No abuse."
                          
"Please. I'm sorry. But we want you home." He whimpers. That's the first time in 170 years that I heard him whimper.
                          
"Fine Damon. But I'm only going to see Melanie." His face flashes hurt but disregards it and sighs.
                          
"Yeah ok. Can we at least hang out later?" He asks desperate.
                          
"Urm. I don't know Damon. I-" I get cut off.
                          
"Please. I want some sibling bonding time." He begs. I sigh and nod.
                          
"Fine. Lets go." I grab my leather jacket off of the coat hanger and make my way out the door locking it then vamp speeding to my new home with my brothers and Melanie.
