The Elizabeth we were all seeing seemed like she had just returned from a vacation. Everything from her hair to her feet were all fine, she even wore a beautiful flower dress and kept her hair in a bun, she wore no makeup but her face looked like she did, her perfume held the strongest scent in the room.
When she reached out to hug Damon, he allowed her. His body melted in her warm embrace and he held her tightly like he didn't want to let her go.
Looking at them was painful, they looked like the.... perfect couple.
"Get your filthy hands off my son! Who are you?" Beatriz came in between them and broke the spell Damon had fallen into. "Who are you?!" She asked again this time she stood face to face with Elizabeth.
Beatriz veins we're already popping out of her neck as she shouted at the top of her voice, the question she asked might have sounded stupid because it was obviously Elizabeth but it was better to ask because I for one would like to know how someone who died in a car accident and was even buried right in front of everybody's eyes ten months ago could actually be standing here before us.... Or is she the new Jesus? Nah, nobody come close to him.
Elizabeth paid no heed to Beatriz's rants as she walked towards me, she smiled and took the baby away from my arms and kissed her forehead. The tears that fell from her eyes was obviously the tears of a mother who has been waiting to meet her child.
Alicia who had been quiet couldn't bear to see Elizabeth ignore the question Beatriz had asked, she approached her and offered a slap on Elizabeth's face even when she was holding little Liliana, Elizabeth held her grip to avoid her from tripping over with the baby.
Janet, Elizabeth's mom couldn't stand it as well and gave Alicia a slap for not caring for the baby in Elizabeth hand.
Alicia held the side of her face that had now turned red. "How dare you?" Alicia asked not minding the age gap Janet had over her, it was like she just didn't care one bit.
"Help me hold her" Elizabeth gave me back Liliana before she went to Alicia and yanked her hair, she whispered something into her ear that made Alicia's face turn pale and was utterly dumbstruck, she didn't even move from where she stood even after Elizabeth had left her.
I watched as she gave a side glance at Xander and even gave him a wink which looked fishy in my opinion. She further walked closer to her dad and mom. "Forgive me mom, dad" and she tried to hug them and they allowed her.
"Are you all kidding me? For all we know this bitch here could be a ghost or even worse an imposter, have anyone thought of that.... Damon.... Xander" Alicia accused requesting Damon and Xander to back her up.
That reminds me, Xander has been really quiet even at the hospital and now too could it be possible he knew about Elizabeth and had refused to tell anybody, just about now Elizabeth had winked at him.... too bad I didn't get to see his reaction.
"I can't believe you are still talking, what I said to you must've not been enough to keep your mouth shut" Elizabeth left her parents hold and turn to look at a ranting Alicia whose mouth was wide open and kept in a paused mode.
Alicia only unfreezed herself when she saw Beatriz coming through the back door from the kitchen into the living room. The surprise look on everybody's eyes when they saw her holding a shovel and a bucket of water in her hands.
She pushed Alicia aside who was standing close to Elizabeth before she threw the entire bucket of water on Elizabeth, the whole living room was flooded with water and a little had even splashed on Jeanette, Jeanette didn't take it to heart as she ran up to her room to change as quickly as she could to avoid missing the family drama.
There was this distinctive side of me that partially hated Elizabeth return, don't get me wrong, this isn't because of Damon---- I never actually stood a chance with Damon though he did say he was starting to love me and that he would fight Xander for me but now I just wasn't sure. Anyways the Elizabeth I was seeing now had a vengeful personality, the tone in her voice and her pronunciation of things showed she was giving the Prince Family a warning.
I can't exactly pinpoint it but something about her was off and I won't blame Alicia for calling her an imposter cause it might be so.
"Well that didn't melt you, then you must not be a witch, Damon dear I need you to give me a ride to my daughter-in-law grave site" Beatriz asked Damon who had been mute after that hug from Elizabeth earlier.
Elizabeth's father and Mother stood up for their daughter after Beatriz behavior, Elizabeth had put out a hand to stop them from speaking that she would handle it.
"This is between me and my mother inlaw" a total drenched Elizabeth spoke making serious emphasis on the word mother as she stared into Beatriz eyes.
Beatriz didn't mind as she was more than ready to use the shovel in her hand to dig Elizabeth grave that was a long way drive from the mansion. It was their country house and was far off into the east side.
Elizabeth gave a laugh, "Aren't you too old to be fooling around, if you were to dig the ground you most definitely won't see my body there because it is me standing before you. I know this is a lot to take in but I never died, infact I wasn't even in the taxi when it happened, I had highlighted a bus stop away from where I was supposed to, the person who had died was the woman who had gotten in after I did."
"If you were alive all this while, why didn't you return? Why did you allow your parents go through those pain that they got from missing you so much" I said and everybody's eyes turned to me, Damon was much more focused on me as he gave a smile like I had just spoken his mind or something.
"Good question Priscilla, why didn't I return? That's because by the time I had reached home the news already spread that I was dead, everything was suspicious and I decided not to show my face and only to watch from the side until the actual culprit show their face....." She looked at Alicia before taking her eyes quickly.
"The whole thing died down and nobody had cared which bothered me that no one looked into the matter at all, I had to visit the family who had lost their daughter for real that nobody paid attention to and paid my respect cause if it wasn't for them....."
"You saying all this means that you are back here because you feel that someone here apparently plot to kill, is it not?" Alicia said cutting Elizabeth off.
"No, I am here only for my baby" she took Liliana from my hands, "she is the only thing that matter to me now, what is her name?" She asked me.
And for some reason I smiled while mentioning my name as the baby's name, it feels really good believe me.
Damon sighed. "Mom, Alicia please, I think we should have a meeting to discuss all this, as we can see Priscilla is tired and she needs some rest" he touched my face not minding the people watching, I gave a shrug and he took his hand. "Have some rest, I will see you later" he said so I could hear and I heard Alicia scoff in unbelieve.
I requested that Elizabeth give me little Liliana before I go up to rest with an excuse that I wanted to breastfeed her. For some reason I felt like I was becoming possessive of her and had the urge to steal her from her mother who had returned from the dead, I guess now she deserved to be called a mummy.
When I got to my room I was surprised at how it was decorated with rose petals on the bed, could this have been done by Damon? There was even a crib in the room which meant that he had wanted me to care for the baby since Elizabeth wasn't available but now.... all I can hope is that by the time I wake up all of this would only be a nightmare.
I laid Liliana into the crib and slept off not minding what was happening right now among the family members. There was not a single time that there was peace in this house, it has now become a routine that each day a new issue will pop up, nothing surprise me again except from today.
Maybe I should reconsider going back to my day to day life and leave all of this behind that way I will have my peace back but Damon, Xander and Little Liliana won't be there and that is something I know I can't live with.
