Chapter 1.
Set in an alternative universe where Giuseppe had three sons instead of two. The eldest being Damon the middle child being Stefan and the youngest being Angelo. Now we all know that one fateful night Damon and Stefan were killed with vampire blood in their system given to them by Katherine which triggered their transition. Stefan then forced a reluctant Damon to complete his transition making Damon swear to spend eternity to make Stefan suffer. But what happened to Angelo Salvatore? You're about to find out.
The year is 2009 and its only been a few days since Damon Salvatore and Stefan Salvatore have returned. And the past few days have been certainly eventful, exciting and terrible at the same time for Elena Gilbert. She met Stefan someone who she could spend the rest of her life with no matter how long or short it was. Elena thought her only concern this year would be looking after her druggie little brother. Right now while Elena and Stefan are on a date at the Mystic Grill. And Damon has just finished his third bottle of Bourbon. A taxi arrives in Mystic Falls, the taxi stops a store that is five minutes away from the Mystic Grill. One of the back taxi doors open and then a boy gets out of the taxi. The taxi then drives away. Leaving behind a 15 – year – old boy behind. The boy has blue eyes and light brown hair. The boy is wearing black shorts, a grey t-shirt and black sneakers. The boy has a blue backpack on his shoulders. The boy looks up to the black sky admiring the stars.
"Home sweet home." The boy said in a sarcastic tone. The boy doesn't want to be back here in Mystic Falls but he made a promise and he always tried to keep his promises!
The following morning is Saturday and Bonnie finds herself walking over to the local grocery store nearest to her house. She avoided Elena as much as possible ever since her grandmother died. Bonnie doesn't hate Elena but being around her right now was too much. Walking in the direction Bonnie is walking from the boy who arrived in Mystic Falls last night deliberately but slyly bumps into Bonnie. Upon bumping into Bonnie, she drops her phone. Bonnie quickly kneels down to grab her phone before standing up straight.
"I am so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going." The boy apologised.
"No, it's okay easy mistake just watch where you're going next time," Bonnie responds before taking a second to look at her phone and sees nothing wrong with it. Angelo then offers his hand out to Bonnie who accepts.
"Angelo," The boy tells Bonnie. Bonnie finds herself having a vision. Once the vision ends Bonnie pulls her hand away from Angelo's.
"Angelo Salvatore," Bonnie says. Angelo makes the shush gesture before speaking.
"Don't tell anyone. Bonnie from our handshake, I can tell you know I'm not like the other people or my brothers." Angelo spoke.
"You're not a vampire are you?" Bonnie asked in a whisper trying not to expose this new secret of hers.
"No, I'm something else and I'm not here for my brothers. I'm here to keep a deal one that relates to you." Angelo answered.
"What do you want from me?" Bonnie questions.
"Meet me at the tomb at five. I'll be there until half-past five. If you're not there by then I will leave you be." Angelo told Bonnie before vanishing rather discretely. Bonnie is left alone shocked.
Meanwhile, over at the Salvatore Boarding House. We have Damon and Stefan having one of their usual arguments which the topic was mainly about Elena and Katherine.
"Brother, I'm surprised you're still here after, all Katherine wasn't in the tomb. You have no other reason to be here." Stefan says.
"Oh but I do Stef, Katherine not being in the tomb was like a stake to my heart," Damon replies.
"What is your other reason than?" Stefan asks.
"To ensure you have a life full of misery and Elena Gilbert has caught my attention." Damon answers.
"You won't go near Elena," Stefan spoke aggressively.
"Careful brother I am a lot quicker and stronger than you," Damon replied.
"You've already caused enough damage turning and killing Vickey. Attacking Bonnie unjustly and killing my best friend." Stefan points out.
"Vickey was fun. Lexi was out of strategy to earn the sheriff's trust and attacking Bonnie well that was out of revenge for destroying the amulet." Damon said.
"No, Vickey was some pawn in your plan for revenge. Lexi wasn't just to earn the sheriff's trust it was to hurt me. And Bonnie wasn't herself when the amulet/talisman was destroyed she was possessed by Emily." Stefan snaps.
"I don't have to answer to you, Stefan or anyone," Damon responds.
"No, because in order for you to answer to anyone. You would have to admit what you did was wrong and that you feel guilty." Stefan says.
"Guilt is overrated and why should I since you're doing spectacularly well at feeling guilt for the both of us," Damon replies.
Night soon arrived and Bonnie out of curiosity decided to meet Angelo at the tomb. Bonnie thought that maybe meeting with Angelo will help distract her from the pain in her heart created after her grandma died. Bonnie arrives at the site of the tomb. Obviously, she wouldn't enter the actual tomb where the vampires who were supposed to burn in the church. However, they were actually saved by Emily Bennett.
"I must admit Bonnie, I am surprised you turned up," Angelo tells Bonnie.
"You told me that you're here to keep a promise to someone one that includes me," Bonnie responds.
"That I am. I know this is not the place you would like to be right now considering the circumstances. But the place I am staying is not fully secure. Luckily there is still Bennett magic lingering here which I asked Emily to allow me, to cloak what we say here." Angelo said.
"Angelo, what is this promise you made?" Bonnie asks.
"As a boy shortly before my brothers were turned into vampires. I was close to a Bennett witch. Emily Bennett to be exact she was like a mother to me. I've known her since I was a baby. She taught me a lot of things about witchcraft I know. Emily raised me, I looked up to and respected Emily and her bloodline. Your bloodline now when Katherine arrived in Mystic Falls and into my brothers lives Emily and I arrived with her posing as her servants. Emily was her lady maid. I was a simple Hall boy. Before Katherine betrayed Emily which resulted in Emily to be burned at the stake. She and Damon made a deal she would save Katherine and the vampires in the tomb from burning in the church. In exchange, he would look after her children and her descendants. But Emily wasn't a fool she had a backup plan me. I promised her that as long as I live I would look out for all her descendants. Since all the things Emily and the Bennett witches have done for me." Angelo explains.
"But that was over a hundred years ago. How are you still breathing if you're not a vampire?" Bonnie points out then asks Angelo a question.
"True, I am not a vampire. I'm not sure if you are aware but you can't be a witch and a vampire at the same time. The moment you become a vampire, you lose your connection to earth to nature and thus you lose the ability to practice magic. I knew that I would be better off protecting the Bennett line as a witch. So, I spent years before moving to Mystic Falls developing a spell one that would allow me to live longer. Shortly before Emily's death, she helped me complete it. At first glance, she was both impressed and shocked. She was proud of the skills I developed as a witch from her tutorage. But was disappointed with me for trying to create some form of an immortality spell. Once she learned my reasoning behind the spell she understood why I worked on the spell. She forgave me for keeping the spell a secret." Angelo answers
"Why didn't you come to Mystic Falls when me and my grams opened the tomb?" Bonnie asked with anger.
"Although I am a powerful witch/warlock whatever you wish to call me. I could not open or seal the tomb because I do not have Bennett blood within me. I am not apart of the Bennett bloodline. Believe me, Bonnie, if I could have opened and sealed the tomb. Then your grandmother Shelia and you wouldn't have needed to cast the spell." Angelo replies.
"When will you tell your brothers back in town? And how do I know that you won't double cross me and side with Damon or Stefan?" Bonnie questioned. Angelo laughed briefly before speaking.
"My little witch you haven't been listening when Katherine, Emily and I arrived in Mystic Falls, I was a Hall boy the lowest male position in domestic service. I and my brothers share the same father, not the same mother. My father and My mother was just a brief romance nothing truly special. When my mother fell pregnant with me, my father sent her away not wanting humiliation or shame if his affair would become public. Emily only told me about Damon and Stefan being my half brothers when we arrived. Damon and Stefan know nothing about us being brothers or that I am still alive." Angelo tells Bonnie.
"I'm still not convinced," Bonnie spoke not wanting to give someone her trust and ultimately get betrayed and hurt.
"I can't say I'm not surprised you, Bennett witches have always been careful it what helped you survive this long. Bonnie, when we held hands you had a feeling. And we both know that feeling told you, I'm not a threat to you." Angelo says.
"Will you teach me more about magic?" Bonnie asks.
"I will teach everything Emily taught me and more. But know this Bonnie Bennett it will not be easy there will be times you will want to throw me through a window that has often been the case. However, once I have finished training you. You will be grateful for all hardship you will encounter training." Angelo answered.
"My house has a lot of windows." Bonnie joked.
"We'll start tomorrow Bonnie, I'll send you a message to where I want you to meet me. You can not tell anyone about me training you. Not even Elena, she may tell my brothers which will only bring trouble. I have a lot to teach you and I fear there is something coming and we may not have a lot of time." Angelo instructs Bonnie. Bonnie then nods her head silently telling Angelo that she will follow his instructions.
