We had barely walked through the door after having a great day shopping and was actually real exciting to try out my new photography equipment that Uncle Damon got me, to replace the ones that Alice destroyed, when he were bombarded by Stefan and the rest of his 'Scooby Doo gang' as he demanded to know where my uncle had been.

"Seriously Damon, I can't understand how you could have been so selfish to disappear like that and I thought I had it clear that this girl can't stay. We already have enough to deal with and after what that girl did to Bonnie, I don't trust her with Elena, family or not. It would be better for her to go away, I have already made some arrangements for her to be taken to her mother," Stefan said as my uncle pushed me behind him.

It was sad that though I was family, Stefan made it clear that I wasn't welcome, but I shouldn't be too surprised because he never did like me, even when I had been three and never did bother to get to know me and Uncle Damon said I could stay and trusted his word, he never broke a promise and wouldn't let Stefan send me away.

"Not going to happen, little brother. I thought I made it clear to you that you had no say in regards to Izzy, so what gives you the right to go behind my back and make arrangements to have her sent to her mother just so you don't have to put up with her. She isn't a threat to Elena or did you forget it was them that attacked her, so if anyone is leaving, it will be your girlfriend," Damon said, pulling me in front of him and pushing me towards the stairs.

"Elena isn't going anywhere and she is my niece too or did you forgot that? I should of realized that you are the reason that she never respected me as a child, when I didn't do anything to her, but she never wanted anything to do with me and now, I should have realized that you were behind that," Stefan accused Damon, feeling the anger shake in me as well as the entire house as I felt Damon rubbing my back to calm my temper down.

Though it wasn't really helping that much and ready to explode in a minute, hating that he was playing this act of a perfect saint when he was way worse than Uncle Damon ever could be, because at least I knew I was safe with him and didn't have to worry about him trying to eat me, he was always on edge which my uncle says was because he was fighting his true nature.

"How dare you blame this on my uncle, he has nothing to do with the reason why I didn't like you or don't you remember what you did to me as a child because I do and the was the day that I lost my childhood innocence. Have you told your precious little bitch girlfriend what you did to me, how you tried to have me for a snack when I was only three years old.

Did you know that I had nightmares for months after that, scared that you were going to come back to finish me off and it wasn't until my powers came in, that I finally let my mind be at ease. I didn't know that I was related to vampires and Charlie still doesn't and my very dull uncle thought trying to eat me was the best way for me to find out, and you couldn't even apologize for what you did. So no, Uncle Damon didn't turn me against you, that was all you," I said, wanting to make him feel the way I did that day.

I doubt he had any remorse for what happened and in the beginning when I had first learned of my uncles being vampires, I had even been scared of Uncle Damon eating me too who had been nothing but patient and understanding with me while I dealt with learning that he was a vampire, something that I should never have been exposed to so young; how Charlie is still ignorant of them is beyond me.

"Shh, Izzy it's alright, how about we go upstairs and unpack some of your things. We don't need to have this conversation now, just calm down your emotions. It's making your powers go crazy," he whispered to me, so that only Stefan and I could probably hear as the others didn't deserve to know about my abilities, but Stefan probably was going to tell them without any respect towards my own privacy.

Stefan just looked at me in shock, like he was surprised that I could even remember he did that to me while I stared at him straight on, just daring him to deny it, "Isabella, there is no way you could remember that, you are just a toddler, but I promise you that I was never going to eat you, I just lost control for a minute. If I had known that you would have been so traumatized, I would have altered your memories for you. I just assumed you were young enough that you have forgotten what happened," Stefan said, brushing me off, like it wasn't that big a deal.

That just made me angrier and I knew that Uncle Damon was not taking Stefan brushing me off so lightly, who despite everything he has done to me, has still yet to utter one damn apology for what he has down and that was the least he could for me, if anything though if I didn't get away from him soon, I was going to lose control of my magic.

This was the last thing I needed right now and certainly didn't need the drama, besides I gave up on Stefan ever apologizing for his actions against me when I had been a child and it was just a waste of energy though that didn't mean I forgave him because he needed to earn that and he certainly has done nothing to earn my forgiveness.

Of course his bitch girlfriend decided to speak up and just her voice was annoying and whiny, very whiny,"I think that you are making that up because Stefan would never do something like that to his own family. Maybe Damon would, but not Stefan and besides, it doesn't look any real damage was done anyway so you should just get over it," the bitch said while a dark look crossed Damon's features.

I knew that this wasn't going to be good with the way that Uncle Damon was looking at the doppelganger bitch, refusing to call this girl by her name and it didn't matter if my uncle had feelings for this girl or not, it didn't come close to the love that he had for me and wouldn't let anyone get away with mouthing off to me, even her.

So, it came to no surprise when Damon grabbed the doppelganger bitch by her throat and slammed her against the wall as I kept a shield around them, to keep Stefan and newbie witch from trying to stop him which was amusing to watch, who was getting frustrated that her magic wasn't work as she has yet to realize that I was blocking her; she must not be that bright.

"Listen here, Elena because I am only going to say this once. If you think that you are more important than my niece, then you have another thing coming. That girl is the most important person in my life and not even you comes anywhere near close to the love I have for her. I am going to make this clear, no one and I mean no one talks to her that way. Talk to her like that again and I have no problem ending your pathetic little human life," Damon said before dropping her to the ground, furious.

I watched as the girl sat up, coughing furiously and shocked that Uncle Damon would dare do that her while newbie witchy glared over at us but didn't dare try to do anything to either with us, knowing her spells would have no effect on me and if she even tried to hurt my Uncle Damon, I would drop her like a hat without showing any remorse; I was tired of this witch thinking she was better than him.

Stefan glared up at Uncle Damon while I had resorted to sitting in his favorite reading chair, knowing that this was going to take a while, suddenly noticing there were others in the room as well, that I hadn't noticed were in the room who had been quiet since we walked in though kept giving me curious glances which was definitely getting on my nerves.

"Damon, what the hell? Elena, could of been seriously hurt," Stefan scolded him who just rolled his eyes who just came over to me and pulled me to my feet and ignored Stefan as he collected our shopping bags that had been left by the door as he ushered us towards the stairs before anyone else could try to demand answers from us.

"Sorry, you had to see that sweetheart," he whispered, keeping me close to his side as he brought me up the stairs and ignoring the looks that the others were giving us, taking me all the way down to the other end of the hall and opening the door, assuming that this was going to be my new room, "You can change it however you want and thought it would nice for you to have some privacy away from everyone, " Damon said though I actually liked everything about it.

The room was gorgeous and very vintage looking that was definitely my style which Edward would probably was too dark and depressing for his tastes, and now understood why Damon had convinced me to buy vintage styled furniture that were going to look amazing in my new room, looking at the room in awe; this was perfect and space was big enough for my film equipment.

Now, I couldn't wait for my new furniture to get here tomorrow, excited about finally settling in and planned on spending most of tomorrow setting up my new room and unpacking, if Stefan would allow me as he still probably plans on sending me off to my mother's and wouldn't put it past him to try to send me off while Uncle Damon was busy.

Of course, Stefan has never even met my mother and has no idea what she is even like, probably why I can't stand living with her and spent most of my time with Uncle Damon, only staying with her on weekends as she couldn't be bothered to be a parent most of the time and there was no point in sending me, she would just send me right back.

She was married and just had a new baby that wasn't permanently damaged as she claimed I was, and didn't want me anywhere near her new perfect life as she hasn't even bothered to tell her new husband about me, but I honestly didn't care about her new husband, it wasn't like he was someone important in my life and most of my stuff, Damon brought with him when he first came to Mystic Falls.

"It's amazing and can totally see myself relaxing in here. Hey, do you have the rest of my stuff or is it still time at my Mom's," I asked, really hoping that he brought my stuff with him like he said he would because it would really be a bitch if I had to call my mother to send my stuff which would probably end up me having to go there just to get it back, that would definitely be inconvenient.

"I have them, hon, they're downstairs. We'll bring them up later tonight or we can do it tomorrow after the furniture gets here," Damon said, making me relax and glad I didn't need to contact my Mom, our last conversation didn't end well, planning to go through them later, glad that Edward and Alice hadn't gotten to them too; there were grimoires that were irreplaceable.

"That's good, the last thing I need is another ugly phone call with my Mom," I said, hoping that he packed my guitar, something that the Cullen's would probably also disapproved and would have destroyed it too, like they did my camera equipment; seriously, what the fuck was wrong with those cold ones to think me being interested in photography, made it unladylike.

This last year has been the most miserable year of my life and hated not talking to my uncle for this long when I should of just picked up the damn phone and asked him to get me, especially when my own mother couldn't even bother to invite me to her own wedding as she didn't want to be reminded of past mistakes, making me feel unwanted and Edward suffocating me didn't help.

I was glad that I was here now, even if it meant dealing with Stefan who couldn't touch me anymore if he tried and the doppelganger bitch, because now I was wanted by the one person that meant the world to me and he is the only one that I don't have behind my tough attitude with, feeling his hand touch my shoulder in a comforting matter.

Despite everything my parents have done and should hate them for it, I still hoped that they would accept me or even just want me, but that was never going to happen; my grandmother was the only one that showed me any love but she died when I was ten, "Don't worry about your Mom or Charlie, it's their loss, alright. They are missing out on knowing the most amazing girl I have ever known. I should know, I raised her, " he said and I just felt like crying, it was so heartwarming and I was the only one that ever saw this side of him.

That was why I hated Stefan so much, he made it seem like Uncle Damon had no heart or any humanity left in him, but if he was so heartless then why would he willingly raise me without asking for anything in return, besides my love. I was his daughter in more ways than one, but I was also family and he had my back, just like I would have his.

I couldn't help but wrap my arms around, feeling safe for the first time in a long while and took comfort in knowing that I had my uncle here and knew nothing else mattered, not even my out of control powers, and just enjoyed having a special moment with my favorite uncle that I haven't been able to do in a long time, a feeling that didn't last long when we were interrupted by an annoyed doppelganger bitch.

"Damon!"
