The Beginning

I was on my way back home. I hadn`t been home since May 2009, when my parents died in a car accident. I couldn`t stay in Mystic Falls anymore so I went to live a somewhat normal life with my uncle John. John Gilbert. He had always been a jackass but I loved him unconditionally. For as long as I can remember, he was there for me.

Miranda Gilbert wasn`t my mother. Grayson had a fling with a girl before he met Miranda and my biological mother didn`t want me. Miranda always treated me as if I was her own daughter. She never thought twice about it. I have warm golden blond hair and dark blue eyes. I look nothing like my siblings. I never had a good relationship with my younger sister Elena. From the moment she came in to our family, everything changed. See, I knew from the start that she`s adopted. I was 4 years old when my parents brought her home. I saw it. She was too much alike my uncle. She always got the attention. I felt left aside. However, Jeremy and I were close. He is my little brother and I would do anything for him. He was devastated when I decided to leave Mystic Falls but I couldn`t stay. I felt like it was Elena`s fault that my parents were gone.

I was coming home from work at the local restaurant last night, when Jeremy called me unexpectedly. He wanted me to come home. John was going to sacrifices himself to save Elena. No! Not another family member dead because of her!

So now, I was on my way back to the place I used to call home. It was only a 3-hour drive. Back to the world of vampires, witches and werewolves.

I never expected the supernatural world. Well, I knew it was there but I never really thought that it was real. I only thought of it as make-believe. When John told me about the vampires of Mystic Falls, I knew that he was telling the truth. He taught me to fear and to defeat them. I saw myself as a true human being. Even though I knew, I was special.

How do I know this?

My name is Amy Gilbert and I`m a werewolf.

It was the dawn of a new day when I passed the sign that read "Welcome to Mystic Falls". I felt a shudder. I haven`t been here since 2009 and it scared me. I didn`t know if my uncle was still alive. The town looked just like I remembered it would. Too small for me but I was here for John and Jeremy. I drove up to the house I once called my home. The house was big and looked like a big family might live here but no. I ran up the stairs and through the doors without knocking. I wanted to see my little brother.

The first person I saw was a man I`d never seen before.

"Who the hell are you?" He almost snarled at me. I gave him a glare and then ignored him. Before I knew it, I was pinned against the wall.

"I`m not going to ask you again. Who. Are. You?" The man in front of me had raven black hair and piercing blue eyes. He was extremely hot but right now, I was pissed.

"It`s none of your business. Let me go you freak of a vampire!" I was growling.

"Damon! Let the girl go" I looked up and saw another one standing behind him. He was just as good looking and had the most beautiful eyes ever.

"Amy?" I looked up at the staircase.

"Jer!" Jeremy ran down the stairs.

"Damon, let her go! That`s my sister!"

Damon let go of me and just looked at me. I ran towards my brother.

"Jeremy! I`ve missed you so much!" I hugged him and my eyes started watering.

"I missed you to big sister." Jeremy kissed the top of my head. Gosh! When did he get so tall? Jeremy took me back in to his room and I sat on his bed. I knew something was wrong. Jeremy didn`t want to look at me.

"He`s gone isn`t he? John is dead?" Jeremy just bowed his head.

"I`m so sorry Amy. I couldn`t stop him. Aunt Jenna is gone too." I looked up at him in shock. Jenna wasn`t really my aunt but she was a part of my family.

"This isn`t happening." My tears were flowing down uncontrollably. Jeremy wanted to hug me but I was to upset.

"My family is gone." I knew I was hurting Jeremy`s feelings by saying this.

"Amy, you still have me." I gave him a little smile through my tears.

"I know little brother. I know." Then the bathroom door cracked open.

"Amy. You have me as well." I looked at Elena. Poor little Elena. The girl everyone would even get themselves killed for. The girl who was responsible for Jenna being dead. She`s the reason my uncle is dead. By seeing her standing there, allowing herself to cry over them, my anger started to boil. Jeremy could see the change in me.

"Ames, calm down. Don`t do this." Jeremy was pleading me. I was counting to ten in my head, not to let the werewolf I me bust out but the way see looked at me, made me loose it. I lunged forward and Jeremy had to use all his strength to hold me in place.

"This is your entire fault! John is dead because of you! Aunt Jenna. How can you live with yourself?" By this time, I was shouting. The two vampires downstairs was in front of her in an instant. Protecting the precious Elena Gilbert.

"Amy, please calm down. You`re going to regret hurting her." Jeremy pleaded.

"Get me out of here. I can`t even look at her!" Jeremy nodded and grabbed my arm.

We went for a walk before the funeral. It was a lovely day. I hated that. I wanted it to be a storm. Like I was feeling right now.

"How am I supposed to go on from here Jer? I mean, I have no family left." Jeremy looked a little hurt.

"Amy Christine Gilbert! I will always be your brother. No matter what. We have the same father and what I`m concerned, we have the same mother as well. You are more of a sister to me than Elena ever will be." I looked at my brother and gave him a hug. Jeremy looked at me.

"I have something for you. A letter from Uncle John. He wanted me to give this to you. He told me that it was too hard for him to pick up the phone to call you." I looked at the envelope.

"I don`t want it." I didn`t want to read about how he picked Elena over me. Even though I knew that, she was his daughter. I was closer to him than anyone was.

"Amy." Jeremy started to say but I cut him off.

"It`s time to go and change for the funeral." I felt my voice was empty. I turned and went back to the house.

I stood in Jeremy`s room dressed in a plain black dress. It was John`s favorite. I looked out the window at the people passing by, not knowing of all the cruelty in the world.

"Are you ok?" a voice behind me startled me. The golden haired boy walked in to Jeremy`s room and introduced himself as Stefan Salvatore.

"No, nothing is ok. I lost someone close to me. No, I lost more than that. I lost almost my entire family." Stefan could see that I was hurting.

"You still have Elena and Jeremy left." He said and looked a little bit sad.

"Oh, you didn`t know? I lost Elena a long time ago." With that, I went downstairs leaving Elena`s boyfriend.

I drove to the cemetery with Bonnie and Jeremy. I didn`t want to be with Elena more than I had to. I didn`t show any kind of emotions before I saw the tombstone.

"Johnathan Gilbert – Brother, father, friend."

My tears ran silently down my cheeks and my body was shaking violently. Jeremy put an arm around my waist and we supported each other. I left a lily on John`s grave. It was his favorite flower, not that anyone knows that besides me.

"I love you Uncle John." I whispered before Jeremy led me away from the graveyard. When we parked outside the house, Bonnie went inside and left Jeremy and me alone. He took out the letter John had written me and placed on the dashboard.

"I know you don`t want to read it but I think you owe it to yourself and John to do it. I don`t think you can move on, heal from all of this." Jeremy kissed my cheek and got out of the car, leaving me alone.

Fresh tears escaped my eyes and I battled with myself for a moment before I opened the letter.

My dearest Lily.(That was his nickname for me.)

You really must think the worst of me right now. I know that I should have called you to say goodbye but I couldn`t do it. It was too hard.

I didn`t only do this for Elena. I did it for you too. Because deep down you love her and you need each other to get through everything.

It`s not easy to be a father to an extraordinary child but to be an uncle to a girl like you. I never felt so lucky. I know I said that I always would be there for you. Getting you through the full moon. Whenever you feel alone and you feel that you`ve lost your way, look for me in your heart. I`m always there trying to keep you safe. I`ll leave you my necklace. Your father gave it to me before he died.

I love you, Amy.

Uncle John.

Ps. I think it`s time you contacted your friends. They can help you.

I looked up from the letter. Wow. I felt like my chest was exploding. I felt like I couldn`t breathe. After a long time, I gathered up the courage to go inside to the family I had left.

It was a long evening. I felt so tired. The others went out to watch "Gone with the Wind" in the park. I just wanted to go to bed. I went to sleep in Jeremy`s room and crying myself to sleep within miuntes. When I woke up again, Jeremy was lying next to me, sleeping. It was nice just to be with my brother but after tossing and turning for a while, I got up. I looked at the letter one more time.

"I think it`s time you contacted your friends. They can help you."

I went it to the bathroom and dialed a well-known number on my phone. It rang a few time before I heard someone with a husky voice answer.

"Hello?"

"Hey it`s me. Sorry to call you so late, I know you`re tired. I really need to get away for a while. My uncle is dead. Can I come to you?"

"Yeah, of course. My home is always open. You know that." I felt relieved.

"Thank you. It means a lot."

"Don`t mention it. I`ll see you soon. Bye."

"Bye Ray."
