Chapter 101 One Moment

• Elena's POV:
• We were like this for moments, him staring into my eyes with motionless eyes, but then, he pulled away. I was still expectant of an answer. He finally sighed and looked at me again. The room was eerily silent as I waited for him to speak.
• "I didn't." He said and I furrowed my brows. "My parents died because they didn't fulfil their promises to the mob and thought they could get away with it. I was ten years old when they handed a gun to me to kill them, but I couldn't do it. I couldn't bring myself to. But our mansion wasn't hidden from the city, it was quite easy for someone to kill them. The gunshots broke the windows before they hit the targets. I was still holding the gun with me when Damon walked in and saw my parents dead. Then he thought it was me. I couldn't explain anything to him because I had to run. If I didn't, I would have been the next dead person. It didn't matter how young I was. I failed to do the assignment I was given and I was going to be punished for that, with death. I made sure that after I escaped, they weren't able to track my brother. I lured them away from the mansion and made them believe there was nobody else inside so they wouldn't kill Damon. I was continuously chased, even up till today. But I'm not scared like I used to be."
