Molly's POV

Hi, I am Molly Branson and I am three hundred and thirty three years old. I was accidentally turn by my mother in 1680. Shortly after she was turned herself. She lost control and nearly killed me. She tried to save me with her blood, but I died anyway with her vampire blood in my system. So I've been stuck in a four year old body for over three hundred years. And I'm sick of it really. But at least I have my mum. Which is more then most vampires have as they had to watch their relatives die of old age.

Anyway it's November 1st 2009 and we're in Mystic Falls. To visit an old friend and celebrate his 162nd birthday. We arrived just before sunrise. Which is good as neither of us has a day light ring. Which blows as I miss playing outside during the day when the sun is out.

We decide to toy with Stefan. He was sleeping in the living room with a book on his chest. But wakes when he hears us zooming around the boarding house. "Damon?" he asks as he enters the hallway. Mum lunges and they land on the ground, her flashing her fangs at him. "Lexi?" he asks surprised as her face returns to normal. At first that face used to scare me, but I got over it.

"Hi" she says as she helps him to his feet.

"What are you doing here? Is Molly with you?" he asks her. I jump onto his back hugging him around te neck.

"Hello Uncle Stefan" I say with a smile.

"Molly!" he cheers pulling me to the front of him and twirls me around. Making me giggle.

"How could you even ask that?" mum asks once he puts me down.

"I missed you both" he tells us.

"Happy birthday" we say and I hand him a gift. Nothing fancy, just an early edition of Moby Dick. I pick him a different book every year. Last year it was Breaking Dawn, the last of the Twilight Saga. But I heard talks of them doing a version where the characters change genders, which sounds interesting.

We go to his room and start to catch up. Him and mum goofing around as usual. "Stop. I don't know, some freak shot at us with wooden bullets. We bail in under sixty. And why is a news reporter hunting vampires?" mum asks him. Vampire hunters are annoying.

"I don't know who knows about us. That guy did and there could be others. Do me a favor, while you both are here, please be careful" he tells us.

"We will be" mum assures him.

"Why stay?" I ask him curious. Mum and I never stay in one place long, we love traveling. "Mum and I are going to New York for the weekend" I tell him smiling.

"Bon Jovi in the Garden. 'Wanted dead or alive', it's our theme song. It'll be a blast" mum tells him smiling.

"Do you think he would actually remember us? That was a pretty crazy weekend huh?" Stefan asks us.

"Totally bonkers" I tell him as I look at him upside down from his bed. He chuckles.

"We can make him remember us. Come on! Let's go. I mean, what's keeping you here?" mum asks him.

"I told you, her name is Elena" he reminds her and I groan. I've never really cared about dating. Guess it's because I'm stuck in a child's body. But I'm cool with it. Though I like mum's new boyfriend Lee. She turned him nearly a year ago, but he didn't want to come meet Stefan. Saying this is our special day with him and that he can meet Stefan another time.

"Let's hope she's better than the last girl you got all sprung over" mum says holding up a picture of Katherine Pierce. I scowl at it, why does Stefan even still have it? He should burn it.

"You didn't even know Katherine" Stefan says as he takes the photo off of mum.

"Cause if I did I'd kick her ass. Little bitch" mum states and he smiles.

"Speaking of, where's Damon?" I ask Stefan as I sit up.

"Inflicting misery somewhere. You both gonna be okay here alone? 'Cause I got some things I gotta take care of" he tells us.

"It's not exactly like we can go anywhere. And you and Damon are the only ones with these nifty little daylight rings" mum tells him.

"I have a mood ring from '75! Trade ya?" I suggest.

"Doesn't work that way and you know it Molly" he reminds me.

"Yeah" I say pouting as I lay on the bed looking up at the ceiling.

"Hey Molly, Lexi. I'm really glad that you both came here" Stefan tells us with a smile.

"What are we doing for your birthday? It's not everyday a guy turns a hundred and sixty-two years old" mum tells him.

"Mum took me to New Orleans, it was a blast" I tell him. It's where I meet the original family. They were intrigued by me. As none so young had ever survived transition. But I haven't seen them since then. Stefan leaves and I yawn.

"I think it's time for your nap" mum tells me.

"But I'm not sleepy" I say with a yawn.

"Yes you are" she states. She picks up and tucks me into Stefan's bed. I pull her down beside me and snuggle into her side letting sleep take me.

(time skip)

I wake to mum choking Damon and chuckle in amusement. "I'm older and that means stronger" mum reminds him.

"Sorry" Damon wheezes out.

"Don't ruin Molly's and my time with Stefan, 'cause I'll hurt you. And you know I can do it" mum sneers. Damon says 'yeah' and mum lets him go picking me up. She leaves the room as I poke my tongue out at Damon. Who is rubbing his sore throat. "Sorry we woke you Molly" mum says as we enter the living room.

"I've had enough sleep anyway, Stefan should be home soon" I state as she puts me down. I was right, Stefan soon comes home and joins us in the living room.

"So this Elena girl. She'll come around. I'm sure of it. Have you had sex yet?" mum asks Stefan.

"Lalala" I say covering my ears. "Innocent child virgin ears here" I whine pouting and they both chuckle. Yes, I'm a three hundred and thirty three year old virgin. Stefan says 'no' to mum's question. I continue to cover my ears.

"Sex always works. I mean you'll rock her world so hard with your vamp sex, she'll be yours forever" mum states. I groan loudly and they both chuckle at my discomfort.

"Yeah, but see, this isn't about sex or...or compulsion or any of our other tricks. She has to want to be with me on her own terms" Stefan tells her.

"Wow. That sounded all mature and grown-up" I say in awe.

"I'm not getting any older" he reminds me.

"Amen to that" I say as I lay my head in his lap. "I'm thirsty" I tell mum. She opens her suitcase, picks up a blood bag and takes a sip. She hands me my kid thermos and I take a sip.

"Want some?" mum asks Stefan as he eyes her blood bag.

"No. Thank you" he tells her.

"Relax I didn't kill anyone for it. This phlebotomist I went out with a few times, he's our supplier" mum explains. "Oh don't judge, ok? Listen I tried the animal diet; lasted three weeks" she tells him matter of factly.

"I wouldn't even try it, I can't get myself to eat Bambi or his friends" I add.

"It doesn't matter. Cause if I started again...I just don't know if" Stefan trails.

"You could stop" mum and I finish.

"Lexi, Molly I'd never judge you" he tells us.

"I'm just jealous of your restraint. I have none. I delight in hedonism. Speaking of which, what are we doing tonight?" mum asks him.

"Yes, are we partying?" I ask him.

"Funny you should ask about partying Molly" Damon says as he enters the room. I shot him a look as I sit up.

"Well she wasn't asking you and neither was I" mum tells him.

"There's a party at the grill. You'll love it. Banquettes, Tacky wait staff. All of Stefan's friend" Damon tells us.

"Really?" I ask excited, a party sounds fun.

"Yeah, I don't want a Birthday party" Stefan tells us.

"Well, It's not for you. It's a party party. No one's gonna know it's your birthday. Caroline's throwing it" Damon tells him.

"Damon, stay away from Caroline" Stefan tells him.

"We're friends it's cool. It's important for the town to see us out and about like normal folk. We need to blend" Damon tells us. He looks at mum's blood bag. "I prefer mine at 98.6" he says before leaving.

"Lets go" mum tells Stefan and he shakes his head. I tug on his arm gaining his attention. I give him my puppy dog eyes. No one can resist them.

"Please" I plead.

"Fine, but only for a little while" he says reluctantly. I cheer giving mum a high five.

"I call the first shower" I say and dash upstairs. I use his shower and change into a new outfit. I then chill with Stefan as mum has a shower. It was then Stefan's turn and the door bell rings.

"I'll get it, wait here" mum tells me. She leaves the room in only a towel. I shrug and start to blow dry my hair. Stefan soon exits the bathroom with pants on towel drying his hair. When mum enters the room looking mad. "Are you out of your freaking mind?" she demands.

"What are you talking about?" Stefan and I ask her.

"I just met Elena" mum states holding up the photo of Katherine. "You have some serious explaining to do" she tells him. She gets dressed and starts to do her make up as Stefan explains. "You have some serious emotional damage" she tells him.

"No, it's not what you think. She's not Katherine" Stefan tells her.

"Really? Because from what mum said, they could be twins" I tell him.

"I don't know" he states.

"You don't know or you didn't find out?" mum asks him.

"No. Maybe. I don't want to know. I have no desire to tie Elena to Katherine. Ok yes, yes the resemblance is what drew me in. But that's it. Katherine and Elena may look the same on the outside but on the inside they are completely different" Stefan assures us.

"So Elena is not a raging Bitch then, huh?" I ask him.

"Language" mum tells me firmly and I sigh as I finish brushing my hair putting it into a ponytail.

"No. Elena is...Elena's warm and she's...she's kind, and she's caring, and she's selfless, and it's real. And honestly when I'm around her, I...I completely forget what I am" Stefan explains.

"Oh my god! You're in love with her" mum says shocked.

"Yeah, I am" Stefan says with a smile.

"Well I'm ready, lets go to this Grill and party" I tell them. They agree and we leave the house. Mum leading me there as Stefan went to see Elena. When Stefan arrives we pull him onto the dance floor.

"Okay, I'm gonna need a little more foot movement" mum tells him.

"Yeah, you're like a robot" I tell him.

"Yeah, not really interested in making a fool out of myself" he tells.

"Come on, you're not that bad" mum tells him.

"Do me a favor. Tell me if you see Damon with his camera phone" he tells us and I giggle. We agree and he picks him up spinning me around. Making me laugh with glee. He then puts me down and spins mum. We continue to dance. I then notice the pool table and mum challenges Stefan to a game. While they set up I go to the loo and return to see mum talking to a Katherine with straight hair. That must be Elena. I return to Stefan.

"Let me guess, Elena?" I ask.

"Yes" he says as he pockets a ball.

"She does look less bitchy then Katherine" I tell him and he chuckles. Mum soon rejoins us and apologizes for drinking Stefan's shot. He thanks her for talking to Elena.

"I was feeling epic, whatever" mum tells him.

"Mum, I'm getting tired" I tell her. We'd been here for nearly three hours.

"Of course sweetie, we can go back to the boarding house" she suggests.

"No, you and Uncle Stefan continue partying. I can walk there myself" I assure her. "But I expect your famous pancakes in the morning" I tell Stefan.

"Will do, take care" he tells me. I smile and hug him then mum. Before leaving the Grill and walking back to the Salvatore house alone. I arrive with no trouble and decide to sleep in Stefan's room. So I change into my PJs and call it a night.

(Time skip)

I wake to crashing noises downstairs and rush down to see Stefan stake Damon. "You missed!" Damon groans shocked. What did he do this time? Where's mum?

"No. You saved my life. I'm sparing yours. We're even. And now we're done" Stefan sneers.

"Where's mum?" I ask them and they look at me. Damon looks away avoiding my eyes. Stefan picks me up and carries me to his room. "Uncle Stefan, you're scaring me. Where's my mum?" I ask him confused.

"I hate to tell you this Molly, but she's dead" he tells me.

"No, you're lying" I say as my eyes fill up with tears.

"I'm so sorry Molly, I tried to save her" he states as he strokes my hair.

"It was Damon, wasn't it?" I demand becoming angry.

"Yes, but please don't kill him Molly. He's major jerk, but he's my brother" he tells me.

"He deserves to suffer for killing my mother!" I snap.

"And he will, he has to live with the guilt for the rest of his life" he tells me I calm down, he's right. Death would be to easy for Damon. "Don't worry, I'll take care of you" he assures me. "By the way, I have a gift for you" he states and goes to his draw. "I had these made for you and Lexi, I planned on giving them to you before you left for New York. But guess they are yours now" he says handing me a box.

I open it to reveal two identical twisted gold necklaces, in the shape of trees. With a Lapis Lazuli stone in on each. One had a short chain and smaller pendant then the other. "Day light necklaces?" I ask.

"Yeah, I had them made in the twenties after the last time you guys helped me" he explains with a small smile as I tear up again. Mum never got to feel the sun one last time before her death. I hug Stefan sobbing into his chest as he comforts me. I cry myself to sleep in his arms.
