Karma

Chapter 1

The small town of Mystic Falls would never forget the day  that the young child Amberlyn Salvatore was found stranded in the woods. Zac Salvatore certainly never forgot.  Until the fateful Damon killed his very long distant nephew. No one quite knew were Amberlyn came from all they knew was she claimed to be a Salvatore rather than, doing the right thing and trying to find her parents the sheriff's department dumped her on the nearest Salvatore. 

Zac had no idea what to do with the eight year old girl at first. Lany Sommers was a great in his short lived path of parenthood. The Sommers girls weren't exactly the best influences, nor were they the worst. Clara was convinced that if somthing wasn't fun it shouldn't be done, and Julia thought if you didn't learn something it was worth it. Due to their mother spending hours at the Salvatore boarding house, and Zac's really good cooking skills that had to rescue the Sommer girls from endless burnt meals the three girls were always around  each other.

To be fair on Damon's part he didn't realize that Zac was a father maybe he would have spared him. Amberlyn only called Zac dad when it was a slip up, he made it very clear when she was growing up he was not her father. But when Amberlyn got in trouble at school because of bullying you sure would have thought he was her father. After all he threatened to sue the school for negligence. He thought of Amberlyn as his daughter, weather he wanted to or not.

Marietta Salvatore, the one of his older relatives he didn't when they came for a visit always showed a great interest in Amberlyn. He liked her visits because they were exactly that visits. She never stayed long something along the lines of not wanting her brother to catch up with her. But he knew she just hated Mystic Falls, it was the place her father locked her away and killed her. Mystic Falls was never a good place to grow up, it always drew in the vampires.

Zac was trilled when Marietta offered to pay for Amberlyn to go to an esteemed boarding school, but he was shocked when she offered to pay for the Sommer's girls. Lany  knew this was the best chance her daughters would ever get in life. She was right, this was their one chance to escape the death trap known as Mystic Falls.

Only they didn't escape Mystic Falls  for long, they came back for senor year. Amberlyn hadn't seen her father  figure in years she was quite happy to see him. No one had told her. Only the Salvatore's knew the truth. Amberlyn slipped up, she hadn't seen him in two years.

"Dad I'm home."

she waited for him to replie, instead she got Damon. She was a beautiful girl, standing in house calling for her father. He knew for a fact that a father did not live in this house.

"Come on Zac, I'm sorry I called you Dad. But you know that's what you are right your my dad and I love you."

Zac's ghost watched the girl almost daring Damon to harm her. Nothing not even death would stop him from protecting his daughter nothing. He frowned at her heart broken expression. She looked right threw him.

"Your looking at for Zac?"

"Yeah, he's my dad."

"Funny Uncle Zac never mentioned you."

"He must really love me then."

"Why?"

"Because, he talks about you all the time.... and he hates you."

"You know who I am?"

"Damon Salvatore, my really old adoptive vampire uncle."

Damon frowned when she said really old. Was it necessary for her to say it like that probably not, but it sure was fun to watch him frown. His first mistake was killing Zac, not because killing is wrong but because now he was stuck with Amberlyn. For Damon this would be one of the worst punishments fate could deal out was Amberlyn Salvatore.
