Chapter one

Grace Ella-Louise Salvatore, daughter or Elena Gilbert and Damon Salvatore. Nobody thought it was possible for humans and vampires to procreate let alone two vampires procreating, but Grace was special, she with neither vampire nor human but the perfect mixture of both. She had midnight black hair that fell just below her shoulders and light green eyes, which looked kind of transparent. But this scared Elena and Damon because nature wouldn't let something like Grace happen, so they thought that nature has something planned for their daughter.

It was almost her seventeenth birthday, and for some reason today she was really excited. Most birthdays she just ate cake and opened presents but her seventeenth she was most excited about.

Her parents didn't live together anymore and her and her Mum brought a little two bedroom apartment just outside Mystic Falls, which she could travel back and firth to school from, her Father always insisted she live with him but she liked the little cosy apartment and lifestyle her and her Mother had.

Grace came into the small kitchen area, where her Mother was making her lunch for school. 'Mum I told you, don't need lunch today' she said and she slowly came round to hug her mum. But her mum insisted and she took the small brown bag and placed it into her school rucksack.

'Can I ask why you don't need lunch today?' Elena sighed, as she turned round to cup her daughter's cheeks. Grace threw her rucksack down and paced back into the kitchen.

'Nothing just meeting someone for lunch, that's all' she proclaimed and put a slice of bread into the toaster. Elena could tell that her daughter was keeping something from her, and she wanted to know what it was.

'Well whose this someone?' Elena asked, looking her daughter straight in the eyes with a slight smile.

'Umm just dad…dad wants me to meet up for some lunch today and a catch up, that's all really, I promise' Grace sighed, as she stood up, raced for her school bag and out the door. Elena didn't believe any of it and grab her cell phone and dialled Damon's number.

'Hello gorgeous' Damon answered.

'Hey…Umm Damon are you meeting up with Grace today for lunch?' Elena asked hesitantly.

'No, why am I supposed to?'

'Why did she lie to me Damon!?' Elena yelled down the phone.

'Maybe its because she isn't seven anymore Elena, give the girl some space'

'But she's still my baby, what if something goes wrong and I…we lose her, Damon?' Elena sobbed down the phone.

'Look she's special, I get that but she's also trying to be as normal as possible Elena, give her some time and space, you and me had to break up just to make her feel normal because we aren't exactly the normal 30 something parents' Damon reinsured her.

'I know, and I still love you Damon you know that right?' she cried.

'I know'

'Its just…I want her to be safe, can't I be worried?' Elena said.

'You can be worried, just not to clinging, after all she is a teenager' Damon sighed.

Lunchtime was fast approaching, and the butterflies in Grace's stomach were going mad, and she could feel the huge smile that cross her face. She was sitting next to one of her best friends, Anna.

'What's got you all hyped you, Salvatore?' Anna said, as she struggled Graces shoulder to snap her out of her daydream.

'Well…' Grace said with a witty smile on her face.

'Well what? Come on, tell me!' Anna argued.

'You know that party we went to Friday night?'

'Yes' Anna answered hesitantly.

'Well, I met a boy there and he's taking me for lunch today!' Grace squealed with excitement. Their teacher saw the two girls giggling and chatting and refused to stand with this behaviour and made Anna sit on the front bench, in chemistry. But before Anna left, Grace whispered 'Tell you more later'.
