Emily was walking with the happy couple of Elena and Stefan. She knew that Elena could come through to Stefan, and she did. For once everything was okay, no problems needed immediate attention. Maybe that wasn't the case, they are in Mystic Falls.
Alaric came up the trio and mumbled out, "come with me. We need to talk."
Emily''s face screwed up in one of confusion before looking back over at her sister and best friend, who was wearing the same expression. Emily shrugged her shoulders before they quickly followed after the serious history teacher.
Emily's brows furrowed while she watched Alaric pace up and down his classroom. Apparently, Emily wasn't the only confused one, because Stefan spoke up, "Alaric, what's going on?"
Alaric finally turned to the three confused faces and sighed, "I saw Isobel."
Emily's eyes widened as soon her birth mother's name was out of Alaric's mouth. She couldn't believe that the women was actually in Mystic Falls, after all she done from keeping Emily and Elena from finding her. Stefan glanced over at the two shocked faces of the twins before turning to Alaric, "what did she say?"
Alaric looked over at Emily and Elena before speaking, "she wants to meet you two... or she is going to start killing people."
Stefan's eyes widened in shock before pulling out his phone, "I'll call Damon," Stefan mumbled.
Emily moved over towards Elena and grabbed onto her hand. Elena looked up at her sister in nervousness before squeezing her hand tightly. Emily didn't know what to think. If Isobel went through all this trouble to keep herself hidden, why does she want to meet now? Something bad was going to come, nothing ever is normal in Mystic Falls.
Finally, after about fifteen minutes, Damon finally walked through the door the history classroom. "Damon, thanks for coming," Alaric spoke when he saw the vampire.
"Sorry I'm late," Damon smirked, "my dog ate my uh... never mind." When it went silent, Damon glanced at everyone's faces, "what's with all the furrowed brows?"
"I saw Isobel last night," Alaric explained to Damon.
Damon quickly looked back Alaric, "Isobel is here?" Once Alaric nodded, Damon questioned again, "in town?" When Alaric only stared at him, Damon already knew his answer. He quickly turned his head, and looked over at Elena in worry.
It was silent for moment while Damon paced around the room, thinking before he turned back to the history teacher, "did you ask her about uncle John? Are they working together?"
"No," Alaric simply answered.
"No, they're not?" Damon questioned in confusion.
"No, I didn't ask," Alaric corrected himself.
"What about the invention?" Damon continued.
Alaric shook his head, "didn't ask."
"Did she know about the tomb vampires?" Damon questioned.
"I don't know," Alaric mumbled.
"Did words completely escape you?" Damon growled out when he didn't get the answers he wanted.
"No, I was a little too distracted by my dead vampire wife to ask any questions," Alaric growled back at the vampire.
Damon glanced over at Elena with soft eyes before questioning, "what did she want?"
"She wants to see us, Damon," Elena told the older vampire.
"Alaric is supposed to arrange a meeting," Stefan told his brother, "we don't know why or what she wants."
Damon continued to stare at Elena with worry eyes, "you don't have to see her if you don't want to."
"I don't really have a choice," Elena mumbled. Emily grabbed her sister's hand when she saw Elena starting to get uncomfortable. She kept quiet while the whole time, she was still in shock that her birth mother wanted to meet her and Elena.
"She's threatened to go on a killing spree," Alaric explained to Damon.
"Oh," Damon mumbled. "I take it that's not okay with you guys."
Elena squeezed her sister's hand before turning to the older vampire, "I want to do it. I want to meet her. If I don't, I know I'll regret it."
"I'll be with you the whole time, Lena," Emily promised her sister, "if you want to do it."
Alaric had spoke to Isobel and agreed for her meet the Gilbert sisters, so Emily and Elena sat next to each other in a booth in the middle of a busy Mystic Grill. Elena jumped when a waitress sat two cups of coffee in front of the girls. Emily gave the waitress a thankful smile before turning to Elena, "hey, everything will be okay. I'm right here." Emily smirked, "and if you look across from you, you will see Stefan watching us."
Elena quickly looked up and saw her boyfriend at the pool time, looking up at her. "Can you hear me?" Elena spoke quietly. Once Stefan nodded, she spoke again, "thanks for coming, I'm nervous." Stefan chuckled quietly before Elena spoke, "but I'm happy you're here. Love you." Stefan mouthed back to her the same.
Emily's eyes widened once a woman with dark hair took a seat across from them. She realized this woman was her birth mother. Anybody could see that this woman was related to the twins, she made dark brown hair and green eyes, that matched with Emily's. Isobel smiled slightly while looking at the two girls. "You look just like them," she spoke before looking at Elena, "you look just like her, that's eerie." Emily was confused when she said them, who else was just talking about if not only Katherine?
Elena's eyes widened, "you've met Katherine?"
Emily continued to look at the woman in confusion, "who were talking about when you said we look like them?"
Isobel looked at her older daughter, "that's not important now," before turning towards Elena, "she found me after I turned. Genetic curiosity, I suppose." Isobel smiled, "she would be fascinated by you," she twitched her head to the side when she looked at her older daughter, "by the both of you, actually."
Emily knew that she wasn't going to get her answer so she decided to question her on something that she would answer. She looked down at Isobel's neck, "is that how you can walk in the sun?"
Isobel glanced down at the necklace that was hanging loosely around her neck before nodding, "Katherine helped me obtain it."
"Who's our father?" Elena questioned.
"Not important," Isobel mumbled. "He was a teenage waste of space," she spoke carelessly.
Emily glared at the woman, "a name would be nice."
"It would, wouldn't it?" Isobel spoke. "You both ask a lot of questions."
"That's what happens when your birth mother walks into your life after sixteen years," Emily told the older woman.
Isobel smirked, "I know you are definitely my daughter."
It was quiet for a moment before Elena questioned in wonder, "why did you compel that man to kill himself? Right after he told us to stop looking for you."
"And why try to find us after all this time trying to stop us from finding you?" Emily questioned with her head tilted to the side.
Isobel shrugged lightly, "dramatic impact. I wish it would have been more effective."
"Human life means that little to you?" Elena questioned Isobel with disgust in her voice.
Isobel smiled and shook her head, "it means nothing to me. It's just part of being what I am."
Elena shook her head, "no, it's not. I know other vampires, that's not true."
"You mean your boyfriend over there by the pool table?" Isobel questioned while staring into Elena's brown eyes, "Stefan Salvatore." She looked at Elena in wonder, "why Stefan? Why didn't you go for Damon? Or are you enjoying them both like Katherine?" Isobel looked over at Emily with a smirk, "or are you both sharing Stefan?"
Emily's eyes widened as soon as the words left Isobel's mouth. She glanced over at Elena, who had the same expression while staring at their birth mother. Emily glanced to Stefan, who looked at her before avoiding her eyes. Emily's eyes furrowed, what the hell was going on? Did Isobel know something she didn't?
Emily decided to ask Isobel the question that had been bothering her since Isobel came into town, "why did you want to meet us? Why now?"
Isobel looked at her oldest daughter with soft eyes, "because I'm curious about you two." Isobel's face changed to one of neutral before she spoke, "but the real reason is, I want what your uncle wants. Johnathan Gilbert's invention."
"Of course you know the devil," Emily mumbled quietly.
"How do you know our uncle?" Elena questioned Isobel.
Isobel glanced over at Emily with a small smirk before looking back to Elena, "I used to spend a lot of time here when I was younger. John had a crush on me for years. He was the first one that told me about vampires," Isobel explained.
"So what made you want to be one?" Elena questioned.
"It's a very long list of reasons, Elena. All of which I'm sure you've thought about," Isobel told her younger daughter.
Elena shook her head immediately, "no."
"That was your first lie," Isobel spoke, "it's inevitable, you're going to get old, Stefan won't." Isobel paused when she saw Elena glanced over at her vampire boyfriend before continuing, "forever doesn't last very long when you're human."
Emily glared at the older woman that gave birth to her, she didn't have the right to take a bite out of Elena like that, pun not intended. "We will not help you get the invention back," Emily got out of the booth and pulled Elena with her, "have fun, Isobel."
Isobel quickly grabbed Elena's wrist tightly, "sit down or Elena gets a broken wrist." Isobel glanced behind Elena and said, "and tell your boyfriend to walk away." Emily glanced over to Stefan and gave him a reassuring tight smile.
Emily looked over towards Elena and gave her small nod before the two sisters slid back into the booth. Emily glared at the older woman, "touch Elena again and Stefan will be the least of your worries."
Isobel ignored her daughter's threats and stated, "I want the invention."
"We don't have it," Elena told Isobel.
"I know that," Isobel smirked, "but Damon does and you're going to get it from him."
Elena shook her head, "he's not going to give it to me."
"Then the blood will be on your hands," Isobel told the two girls. She got up from the table before turning to the sisters with a small smirk, "it was nice meeting you, girls," before she walked away and out of Mystic Grill.
Emily rolled her eyes when the woman finally walked away before mumbling, "bitch." Emily turned to look over at Elena and saw that she had tears in eyes. Emily sighed, "oh, Elena." She pulled her sister into a tight hug. Emily knew Elena couldn't be dealing with meeting Isobel good, especially after Isobel threatened her.
Emily pulled away from Elena when she heard footsteps walking towards them and saw Bonnie standing right in front of them with a confused face. The Bennett witch was about to speak, but she someone behind Elena's shoulder, so she quickly bolted out the Grill. Emily turned around and saw that it was Stefan that Bonnie saw. Emily sighed heavily when she saw Elena quickly run into Stefan's arms with tears rolling down her face.
Stefan looked over Elena's shoulder towards the older sister and mouthed, "are you okay?"
Emily gave Stefan a small smile and nodded. Emily was more worried about Elena, she was taking it more harder. Isobel did threaten Elena, she must be scared out of her mind. Emily already didn't like Isobel since she didn't want either of them, and then she goes and threatens Elena for the invention, that wasn't okay with Emily. She already had a loving mother, she didn't want Isobel in hers or Elena's life even more than she already was.
