He appeared to me

Chapter 33: He appeared to me.

Elena's POV.

I strode into the dark room and stood, watching a tall statue in the dark room face the window. Delilah, a maid assigned to me by Jake, said someone was looking forward to seeing me. I wondered who would want to see me and remembered Jake mentioned my mother was going to see me today.

I had a quick bath, dressed into a nice spaghetti hand white dress and walked out with Delilah. She led me through the hallway and stopped right at the doorway of an extremely dark room.

"Elena." My mom called me in her usual calm voice. I gulped down when I heard her voice. I've missed her voice a lot, I've missed my mom. I was moved, I was moved to hug her. I took a step toward her and her next line of action made me halt immediately.

I could not see her face, to detect her expression but I know when someone doesn't want me to come close. "You disobeyed me, Elena. Look at what you've done to yourself." I clenched my fist. She couldn't even hug me after two months of missing. Rather she scolded me.

"I'm sorry. I was trying to help.."

"Elena, you destroyed everything I've worked for, you put us all in danger, you were supposed to stay hidden until your time comes but now, every man knows you, you are the talk of the town and everyone wants you in their possession. They want to use you against the world. I've always told you, you're special. The powers that you have are extraordinary, you are our pillar, a source of survival. But you stupidly gave yourself up to a hunter boy."

"That hunter boy is my mate." I defended, I didn't like the tone she used to pronounce Stefan as a hunter boy. It was...insultive.

"What did he do?. Took your powers, rejected you and put you in a dark cold cell."

"He didn't put me in a cell, mom. I was placed in a comfortable room with a nice cozy bed and I wore clothes to cover my hair so the townsmen wouldn't find me out and kill me. They were good to me."

"Oh shut up!." She ordered, even in her angry state, she was careful not to raise her voice at me.

"Stefan knew that if anything at all happened to you, he would die. Did he ever tell his ordeal with the moon goddess?." My raised eyes began to furrow, I started to think of anything he could possibly discuss with the moon goddess.

"The hunters are not to be trusted, Elena. They are malevolent, evil. They manipulate people into thinking they are saving the world from harm. Their game is to make the world believe in them and then attack from the back. The hunter boys are just agents, working for their malicious father."

"Do you know them that much?." I snuffed a question.

"Believe me, I've eaten and dined with them. I've worked with them and they betrayed me. "

I breathed out, tucking the instinct that made me not believe her behind. The way she explained about my mate and the house of the hunters were unbelievable. Cali Jeane was nice to me, she saved me, gave me the crystal and asked me to run.

"Am I going home with you?." I asked having held enough, and I heard her scoff.

"You won't like to. The outside world right now is very dangerous. It isn't safe for you so I asked the vampires to keep you here because they are the only ones who would save and protect you from harm." I sighed.

"If they decide to use me…"

"I'll take you back." She interrupted.

"Mom, who are you?" I couldn't stop myself from asking. The very day she moved us to West Linn, I started suspecting her.

My suspicion was confirmed when she handled Wendy that night before this whole dilemma began. I could not read her mind, because a large wall was blocking me. I could not read her expression because she had always kept it hidden. I finally realized that she's secretive.

"You wouldn't tell. As always." I broke the silence settling into the room. I turned and walked out of the dark room.

I lay down on the bed and thought about my life. It had gotten from the better to the worst. Before, I didn't know I would make new friends, until Tyson and Molly got into my life.

And then I found a boyfriend, wanting to belong as every girl in high school did. It didn't work out, Jake cheated. Dummy Jake allowed himself used by Wendy. Stefan came and I thought my relationship with him will go from a friendly zone to a relationship since I find myself loving him naturally.

It didn't work out when I found out he was a hunter. He felt attached to me because I was his mate not someone he loves. I decided to let go and here I am, avoiding Jake and being told I was a savior of the world. It sounded like nonsense.

I turned but noticed a shadow on the wall. It quickly disappeared and I got up. I put on the hand lamp beside me, quickly turning it all over the room. I took a few steps to the door and opened it, I looked outside and the hallway was quiet as a grave yard, the ticking of the clock on the wall was the only device heard.

It should be 1:29am in the morning and everyone had retired to bed. I shut the door back, and turned. I screamed but not as loud as it seemed as my hand went clasping to my mouth.

Stefan was standing in front of me with a studious look. A knock was heard at the door and I panicked. I looked at the door and walked over to it, I turned back and didn't find Stefan around the room and I opened the door.
