– Is it any wonder I try? –
When Gabriela woke up, it was like the whole world had gone still. There wasn't a single noise that could be heard. Then, she looked around her to find people sitting all around her on their benches, reading the newspaper or just... sitting there as if they're waiting for something. Gabriela looked around her to see what they could be possibly waiting for only to find herself at a train station. She tried to understand her surroundings but nothing made sense. She had no idea that Mystic Falls had a train station and there didn't seem to be a single way out and Gabriela looked. She looked hard because there was nothing she wanted more than to return back home to her friends and family.
She had no idea how much time had passed while she was in that train station. There were no windows to tell you if it was night or day time. Gabriela tried to find ways to go back home but each trial ended up doing her no good and honestly, the last person she'd expected to see her was her dad, Antonio. So, imagine her surprise when she passed by a bench where two people were sitting only to stop when she recognized a very familiar face. Her heart immediately plummeted to the pit of her stomach before she quickly turned around, her eyes wide. "Daddy?" Gabriela spoke up with a shaky voice before she rushed over to him, shaking him slightly in hopes of waking him up. "Daddy, wake up, please. It's me." Gabriela snapped her fingers in front of his face to try and get his attention but it was futile. She wasn't going to give up, though. She had no idea for how long he'd been here, Gabriela looked around for ways to wake him up but she couldn't find anything that could possibly help, so she squatted down in front of him, holding onto his hands. "Please. Wake up." She shook his hands gently all while keeping her eyes on him, waiting for anything to change.

Toni was only vaguely aware of his surroundings but he knew that he was waiting for a train to go somewhere. He was vaguely aware of the fact that there were others around him but other than that he felt like he was in a daze. He didn’t know where he was going or why and he seemed rooted to the spot but he was certain that he should be there right now. Time seemed to have no meaning there and Toni kept his eyes on the board waiting for his train only for nothing to happen. It didn’t make any sense but he couldn’t seem to get his brain to comprehend that right now, all he could do was continue to wait. He knew that sooner or later the train would arrive and he would be able to leave and that had to be enough. Even his family was forgotten while he waited for the train and that was something that would never normally happen. His kids and Ethan were his world and he would never willingly leave them behind. Will seemed to have no meaning there though, it was just an endless waiting for a train that would never come. Toni wasn’t sure how long it took for a sense of awareness to start clawing at the edges of his mind but the haze finally started to lift. He tried to remember what he had been doing before leaving to catch the train and a couple of faces swam before his eyes but he couldn’t make any sense of it no matter how hard he tried. It was only when one of those faces became more real than the others and he could hear a voice trying to pull him out of the fog that had engulfed his mind that he began to snap out of it. He could feel that someone was holding his hands, the girl who had called him daddy and was pleading with him to wake up, and after what felt like a lifetime he started becoming more aware of his surroundings. “Who are you?” he asked, his eyes still somewhat unfocused. Blinking his eyes, he finally seemed to see the girl for the first time and his heart ached in his chest. “Ela?” he breathed, unable to believe what he was seeing or the fact that he’d been made to forget his little girl. All those memories came rushing back to him and he pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly. “What’s going on, are you okay?”GABRIELA ALVAREZ

"Oh my god, you're awake." Gabriela let out a sigh of relief, though her heart dropped when it became clear that he couldn't remember who she was. She tried her best to hold back her tears, but it was futile. Though her eyes widened when her dad soon said her name and it was like the flood gates had opened and all the tears she'd been trying so hard to keep at bay soon rushed out as she wrapped her arms around her dad, having missed being in his embrace like this. "You remember me. You remember me." She repeated while holding onto him tightly, trying to stifle her sobs but it was absolutely futile. There was nothing she could do to stop those tears. She'd missed her family so much and even though seeing her dad made her happy, she still was worried about the fact that he was here in the first place.
"I'm okay. I'm okay now that you're here and that you remember me." Gabriela leaned back to wipe her tears away, sniffing a few times as she tried to control her tears. "You were, um, you were brought here by those... freaks. They have the ability to bring people here and wipe them from memory. That's what they did to me. That's what they did to you. I have no idea where we a-are, though. I don't know how to get out. I've tried." Gabriela still held onto her dad's shirt within her closed fist, worried that if she let go, he'll forget about her or he'll disappear like he was just a fragment of her imagination. "Do you remember how you got here?"

"I am," Toni nodded, unable to deny that his mind was still feeling pretty foggy. He could see that the girl was upset and he wanted to help her but he didn't know how. She looked familiar to him and he felt like she was someone who was close to him and thankfully it didn't take long for the memories to come flooding back to him. As soon as they did Toni was reaching for his daughter, holding her to him tightly as she cried. "I do, I remember you baby," Toni said, his own eyes glistening with tears that he quickly blinked away as he leaned forward and kissed the top of her head gently. It seemed crazy to think that he could have ever forgotten her, she was his little girl and now he remembered everything he knew that he had sworn to protect her and Eli the day they were left on his doorstep. He had done his best to make sure that nothing bad happened to her and yet she had still been taken from him anyway. Toni had been made to forget all about her but now he remembered everything and he realised just how much he'd missed her. "It's okay, don't cry. I'm going to get you home," he said gently. He had no idea how he was going to do that because other than the fact that they were in a train station he had no idea where they were right now but he knew that he was going to find a way to get both of them back home where they belonged. "I'm here and I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to keep you safe," he assured her. He was her dad and that was his job after all. He knew that he had failed by letting her be taken in the first place but the truth was he still didn't remember how that had happened so he knew that they might not have even been together at the time. "That makes so much sense now, there's no way I would have ever forgotten you otherwise." Ela was such an important part of his life and had been since the day she had come into it just like her sister and just like Ethan and Elias when they came along. Toni knew that he never would have forgotten any of them otherwise so there were definitely powerful forces at work here, that was for sure. "Do you remember what they look like?" he asked, unable to deny that he was curious now as to whether the people who had brought both of them here were the ones he had shown to Ethan in the drawing he had done. The way Ela held onto his shirt so tightly was enough to make Toni's expression soften even as his heart ached. "It's okay baby, I'm not going anywhere without you. We're together now and we'll figure this out," he promised, hoping to soothe her a little. He wasn't sure exactly how long ago it was that she had been taken but even a day was far too long as far as he was concerned. As she asked if he remembered how he got there, Toni's expression turned thoughtful for a moment as he tried to remember. "I remember I was with Ethan and I was ripped away from him. I don't remember much after that until you woke me up," he explained. He knew it really wasn't much to go on but perhaps the pieces would start to come back to him in time. "Do you remember what happened to you?" he asked, not sure whether Ela would be able to remember much more. GABRIELA ALVAREZ
