It took me longer than I thought to get this up...even tho it was in the Upload stage lol Well, this is the last chapter I'm gonna have. I might have a sequel, but I'm not exactly sure as of yet...I'm focusing on this one idea I've been writing in my notebook, but I dunno...it might not be good, but I'll see how it goes haha Thanks to all my readers for the continued support! This kinda happens after the last chapter...I'm sorry I didn't write the wedding, but like I said this story has been far from my mind and I haven't been in the right state of mind to continue the story how I was...So I'm sorry and I hope this is good lol Ending is a bit weak, but oh well!

Visiting Grandma Liz
July Flame by Laura Veirs, Letters from the Sky by Civil Twilight

I walked up to the door, keeping Damon by my side. There was no way of telling how my grandma was going to react to seeing me, a vampire, with a boyfriend, also a vampire. Damon held my hand and kissed it to reassure me. If I was a normal human, I'd be shaking so badly, but my new body stayed still.

"Relax, Lexi. Everything is going to be fine. If things turn bad, I'll just erase her memory," Damon simply stated. I just gave him a look and he chuckled.

The door opened and my only surviving relative stood in the doorway. She had her glasses on, amplifying her eyes, and her short white hair was arranged around her head. Her weary green eyes made me smile.

"Alexandria Beatrice Strom, where have you been? I tried to go over to your house to take you back here, but you were gone. A neighbor said you left the country," Grandma Liz said. Damon chuckled under his breath about my middle name and I elbowed him so hard in the ribs.

"I just left the state with…my boyfriend," I said and looked at the ground.

"You look familiar, young man," Grandma Liz said and took a step toward Damon, who had recovered from my elbowing him in the ribs.

"New York, I believe," Damon said with a grin, "seventy-one years ago."

"You were that boy who was all dressed up…saying both you and your brother were visiting this country," Grandma Liz said.

"Wait a minute…in 1938 you knew my grandma?" I looked at Damon curiously. I knew my Grandma was really old, but she didn't look it. It couldn't have been that long ago...

"You look…an awful lot like your grandmother," Damon commented and touched my cheek.

"But how can you be this age? It was as if you hadn't aged from the time I saw you," Grandma Liz said in shock.

"That's a part that I think Lexi should explain," Damon said.

"Come on in, you two. I guess you'll have to tell me the whole story," Grandma Liz said with a sigh and let Damon and I come inside to sit down.

I went on a rant about how I had become a vampire and the true stories of how Roz and Miles had died. My grandma listened intently, asking questions when she didn't understand. The whole story took about half an hour and when I was finished, I thought Grandma Liz was going to have a heart attack.

"So…you met Tristan Worthington and when he left, his older brother, Edward, came with Damon? You both are vampires, correct?" Grandma Liz seemed pretty chill with it after a few minutes.

Damon and I both nodded.

"And you both are…getting married?" Grandma had a hard time saying that.

Just then I felt the ring on my finger get heavier. Damon squeezed my hand in comfort and I relaxed. My grandma was eying me suspiciously. I knew she would be suspicious. I was a vampire after all.

I grinned and looked at Damon. He was always the best at comforting me when I needed it.

"Well, since I'm the only surviving relative in your family I should give my consent…which I am going to. Damon Salvatore, you better take good care of my granddaughter or I will kill you," Grandma said which caused me to laugh.

"Grandma, you're so cool with it, why?" I was confused.

"One of you cousins talked about seeing a vampire in the woods once with sharp fangs. She said it had attacked her and…sure enough there were bite marks where they normally would be. I hunted down a few in my teenage years because everyone was so afraid and…well I guess I always knew you'd find a way to be a part of that world since you were little. You used to say if you were ever an animal, you wanted to be a vampire bat because you could fly around, and you liked the night too much," Grandma Liz explained.

"I'm so glad you know now so that I can talk to someone about it," I said and gave her a light hug so I wouldn't hurt her by crushing her to death.

"I'm glad too, but you have to come back and visit as much as possible if you move away," Grandma said and I could see the fear in her eyes and the longing for me to stay.

"I don't think Damon and I are going anywhere special," I said with a grin, assuring my grandma.

"We'll either be here or we'll live in Washington where I have a house," Damon said, sensing my assurance.

"Good," Grandma said and I grinned.

"I love you more than anything," I said to my Grandma and Damon and I left.

As we walked along the road to the car, I rested my head on Damon's shoulder and laced my fingers with his.

"Did you really mean you love your grandma more than me?" Damon wondered and I started to laugh.

"She's family. When it comes down to it, I'll choose her over you, but...I guess I love you just as much as I love her," I assured Damon and kissed him.
