"It's 2037," she answered him. She didn't bother to turn and look at him either, just kept hiking through the woods at a moderate pace. She wanted to set a faster one but she knew he might have a hard time keeping up after being asleep for a decade. The shock alone had to weigh pretty heavily on him. Lucy had only been a little girl last she had seen Damon.
"I have to save my parents," she said. "They were taken by some vampires to one of the human camps in Everett. I need to get them back." It wasn't Lucy's only mission but it happened to be her number one mission at the moment. Allison and Scott McCall might not be her biological parents but they had cared for her and kept her safe for eighteen years. She wasn't just going to throw them to the wolves now.
Her real mission was to kill her father. Once Alec was dead then maybe she wouldn't have to worry about the vampires that worked for him targeting her parents. And just maybe once she killed him all the bad in her would die too, snuffed out and erased like a bad dream. Lucy couldn't remember her mother and there weren't any pictures of her. But her father's face was etched into her memory perfectly. It helped that he never aged.
