Capítulo 20: Events In Motion
Time passed quickly in Mystic Falls. The months seemed to fly by as Zach's wife, Gail, neared the end of her pregnancy. The Salvatore Boarding House buzzed with anticipation and a sense of nervous excitement. The usually quiet halls were now filled with the sounds of preparations for the new addition to their family. Damon, always the cynic, found himself more invested than he would ever admit.
On a chilly autumn evening, Gail went into labor. The air was thick with tension as Zach paced back and forth in the hallway, his face pale with worry. Stefan and Damon stood nearby, trying to offer comfort in their own ways. Damon, leaning casually against the wall, smirked at his brother's anxiety. "Relax, Zach. People have been giving birth for centuries. She'll be fine."
Stefan, on the other hand, placed a reassuring hand on Zach's shoulder. "He's right. Gail is strong, and so is your baby."
Hours passed, each one feeling like an eternity. The muffled sounds of Gail's labor pains echoed through the house, amplifying the anxiety in the air. Damon, though outwardly calm, found himself gripping his glass of bourbon a little tighter. Stefan, always the rock, maintained a calm facade but couldn't help the occasional worried glance towards the closed door.
Finally, the sound of a baby's cry pierced the air, filling the house with a new kind of energy. Zach's face lit up with a mixture of relief and joy. The door to the room opened, and the midwife stepped out, smiling warmly. "Congratulations, Zach. It's a healthy baby girl."
Zach rushed into the room, Stefan and Damon following closely behind. Gail lay on the bed, exhausted but beaming, cradling their newborn daughter in her arms. Zach knelt beside her, tears of happiness streaming down his face. "She's beautiful," he whispered.
Stefan stood back, watching the tender moment. Damon, still leaning in the doorway, couldn't help but smile. "Well, looks like we have a new member of the Salvatore family."
The baby girl, named Sarah, quickly became the heart and soul of the Salvatore Boarding House. Her presence brought a new kind of joy and hope to the family, something that had been missing for a long time. Aurora, despite her own struggles with the legacy of being an Original Vampire Heretic and the ongoing search for Klaus, found solace in playing with her little cousin. The two formed a strong bond, and Sarah quickly became very fond of her older cousin. They would spend hours together, Aurora teaching Sarah about the world in her own unique way.
The years that followed were filled with laughter and warmth. Stefan, Damon, and Aurora became an integral part of Sarah's life, and the bond they formed with her was unbreakable. Aurora, with her blonde hair and piercing blue eyes inherited from her mother Rebekah, often felt like a big sister to Sarah. They would explore the woods surrounding the Salvatore Boarding House, play hide-and-seek in the vast estate, and share stories under the starlit sky. Aurora taught Sarah about the constellations, instilling a sense of wonder in the young girl.
However, as time went on, it became increasingly clear that the supernatural members of the family didn't age. It was a painful reminder that their time with Zach and Gail couldn't last forever. The day came when Stefan, Damon, and Aurora had to make a difficult decision. They sat Zach and Gail down and explained the situation.
"We can't stay much longer," Stefan said gently. "Sarah is growing up, and it's becoming harder to explain why we don't age."
Zach nodded, his eyes filled with understanding and sadness. "I knew this day would come. We'll miss you all, but I understand."
Damon, trying to lighten the mood, added, "Don't worry, we'll always be around if you need us."
With heavy hearts, they packed their belongings and prepared to leave Mystic Falls once again. Aurora spent one last afternoon with Sarah, promising to visit whenever she could. The departure was bittersweet, filled with hugs and tears, but it was necessary.
One evening, as they lay on the grass watching the stars, Sarah turned to Aurora. "Will you always be here to protect me?" she asked, her innocent eyes wide with trust.
Aurora's heart ached at the question. She knew that she wouldn't be able to stay forever, but she didn't want to shatter Sarah's world. "I'll always be watching over you, even if you can't see me," she promised, her voice gentle.
The decision to leave was made even harder by these moments. As they packed their bags, Stefan, Damon, and Aurora couldn't help but feel a deep sense of loss. On their last night, they had a family dinner. The atmosphere was heavy with unspoken emotions, but they tried to make the best of it. Stefan made a toast, his voice steady but tinged with sadness.
"To family," he said, raising his glass. "No matter where we are, we'll always be together in spirit."
The next morning, as the sun rose over Mystic Falls, the Salvatore family said their goodbyes. Sarah clung to Aurora, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Promise you'll come back," she whispered.
Aurora hugged her tightly. "I promise," she said, though her heart ached with the uncertainty of when that might be.
The journey away from Mystic Falls was silent, each of them lost in their thoughts. Damon, in his own way, tried to lighten the mood with his usual sarcasm. "Well, at least we'll have some interesting stories to tell when we come back."
Stefan managed a small smile. "Yeah, we will."
Time Skip
Years later, Klaus Mikaelson received a letter. He opened it, his eyes narrowing as he read the contents.
"Your doppelganger is born and might have to die next week, so my advice for you is to act quickly, or you'll have to wait for another century."
Klaus frowned, squeezing the letter tightly before looking across the room. There, in the shadows, stood an exact replica of Stefan, feeding on a blood bag. Klaus called out, "Jacob, time for you to go to Mystic Falls."
Jacob, wiping his mouth clean, looked up and smirked. "I guess you've found what you've been desperately looking for."
Klaus returned the smile, a glint of anticipation in his eyes. "Yes, I have."
Jacob, the twin brother of Aurora and son of Stefan, had spent years away from his family while secretly plotting his payback for Klaus, the one who caused all of this to happen because of his selfishness.
As Jacob prepared to leave for Mystic Falls, Klaus couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. The events set in motion would bring old enemies and new challenges, testing the bonds of family and the strength of their resolve.
In Mystic Falls, life continued as usual, unaware of the storm that was about to hit. Elena Gilbert, Bonnie Bennett, and Caroline Forbes were still young, their lives untouched by the supernatural drama that was about to unfold. They laughed and joked around, oblivious to the dark forces gathering on the horizon.
One week before the events that would forever change Mystic Falls, Klaus stood in his mansion, contemplating his next move. The letter had given him the push he needed. He turned to Jacob, who was ready to depart.
"Mystic Falls," Klaus said, his voice filled with anticipation. "It's time to reclaim what is mine."
Jacob nodded, a smirk playing on his lips. "I won't let you down."
As Jacob prepared to leave, the weight of what was to come settled over Klaus. The Salvatore brothers, their allies, and their enemies were all on a collision course. The quiet town of Mystic Falls would soon become a battleground, and the Mikaelson family would be at the center of it all.
The wheels of fate had been set in motion. The events that would soon unfold would test the bonds of family, loyalty, and love. Mystic Falls, with its hidden secrets and buried histories, was about to become the epicenter of a supernatural storm that would change the lives of everyone involved forever.
