Chapter 38
4x6
When I got back to Beacon Hills, I went straight to my dad's and Alli's place. I knocked on the door but no one answered.
So I let myself in. It looked almost exactly the same. Just there were a few more pictures of me hanging on the wall.
I went into my room. It was exactly how I left it. I had clothes on the floor, and homework smeared across my desk.
The door to the apartment opened. I looked into the hall and saw Dad and Derek walking into his office.
I guess a lot has changed. Last I remember they hated each other. Dad was furious at him for turning mom, making him have to kill her. Guess they were somewhat friends now.
I wanted to go into that office and tell him I was alive. But I didn't really think about what I say when I got to this point. I was so busy trying to get here. I didn't think about anything else.
But I decided to wait until Derek left. I would just wait in my room until I heard the door open again.

About an hour later, I heard to door open and closed. Followed by a sigh from my dad.
I walked into hall. He was staring at the picture of me, mom, and Alli at the courthouse when I got adopted.
"Bails, I miss you so much. And it doesn't help that your sister went to visit Jackson in London. It just reminds me how much I miss you." Dad was stroking his finger over me in the picture.
"Dad." I said so quietly he didn't hear me. So I said it again. "Dad."
He didn't look at me right away. His eyes widen, so I knew he heard me. "Bailey?"
I walked closer to him. "Yeah, dad. It's me." I put my hand on his shoulder.
His head turned to look at me. "Bails." He said so excited. He cupped my cheeks in his hands. "Is that really you, sweetheart."
I nodded. "Yeah, dad. It's really me."
He rapped his arms around me tight. "Oh, my sweet girl." He released me from the hug. But he still had his hands on my shoulders. "How? How? How are you here?"
"The Mikaelsons brought me back." I stated. "I just woke up yesterday in their house. I rushed here as soon as I could."
He sighed and hugged me once more. I told him to not tell anyone else. I wanted to tell them myself.
Together we called Alli. Her and Jackson were so happy. She said she would come and visit in the next few days.

I was on a run the next night, when I noticed a well. I'd seen it before, but this time felt different. It was like I knew something or someone was in there.
That feeling was right. I yelled "Hello?"
"Help." A voice said. It was distant. I knew it was from the bottom of the well.
"Okay, just give me a second to think." I said looking around. That's when I noticed a bucket. It had string so it could go all the way down. "I'm gonna lower down a bucket. And just hold onto it and I'll bring it.
"Okay, just hurry please." The guy begged.
I lowered the bucket down. He told me he was on and I brought him back up. When I almost got him all the way up, the bucket fell to the side. The guy fell off but was able to grab the side of the well.
I grabbed his hand back I couldn't get him pulled up. "Aghhh!" I yelled trying to get him up. I felt different. My strength used to be double this. Now I couldn't even lift this boy up.
Then, I heard someone running. They were getting closer to us. I saw a familiar face running towards us. It was Scott.
"Scott, help."
He grabbed the guys other arm and we pulled him up. We got him onto ground.
"Liam, are you okay?" Scott asked the boy.
"Um hmm." Liam said caughting his breath. "Thanks to her." He looked up at me.
Scott looked back. I don't think he registered that I was alive until now. He stood up and looked at me. He walked closer and when he was at arms length he put his hand on my shoulder.
"I'm real."
"You're real." He said.
"What's happening?" Liam asked.
I ignored him. "I'm not dead. You're not seeing a ghost. I'm real. I'm Bailey."
Scott gasped and hugged me.
"Scott, who is this?" Liam asked.
"It's Bailey. Allison's sister." Scott explained.
"The one who died?" Liam asked.
"Is there another Bailey who is Allison's sister?" I asked.
"I guess not." Liam said.
"Wait, how are you here?" Scott asked releasing me from the hug.
"The Mikaelsons, or I guess my bio siblings brought me back to life." I explained. "Oh, and Isaac's body has been taken over by my unpredictable brother."
"What? Which one?"
"Kol. And apparently my mom and brother Finn have taken over other poor soul's bodies. I just don't know who, because I didn't see them."
"Your family seems strange and dysfunctional." Liam said.
"They are." I smiled at him. "And who might you be?"
"Liam Dunbar." He said still sitting on the well where me and Scott left him.
"He's my beta." Scott said.
"Ah, well I'll leave you to your pep talk or whatever." I said walking small steps backwards.
"And do me a favor, don't tell anyone else I'm alive yet. I want to tell them myself." He nodded. "Good, but you can tell Dad and Alli they already know." I turned around and walked normally away.
