Re: Salvatore Boarding House: Porch (Elena/Tatia/etc)
Elena stared down at the phone as thoughts returned to the idea of calling him even though doing so would stir up a whole tidal wave of emotions she was unprepared to deal with. So as much as she wanted to be able to give him a piece of her mind for what happened to Tyler¡it would have to wait.
?
¡°It's¡complicated.¡± Whatever problems she may have were shelved the moment she learned of what her friends were going through. It was important to her to be there for them so all efforts to deal with her own troubles were reserved for the many entries she made in her journal.?
?
¡°There's a part of me that just wants him to hold me again¡and another that wants to drive a stake through his heart.¡± She shook her head slightly looking off to one side before continuing. ¡°He killed someone¡someone that I have known my whole life¡and I don't even know to begin to process it.¡±
?
?
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
?
?
¡°To lose a friend¡in that way¡and then to learn the man you love is responsible¡¡± Tatia trailed as she shook her head once finding it impossible to imagine the pain such a discovery would cause.
?
?
?
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
?
?
¡°I don't know what to do.¡± Elena admitted hating the defeated tone in her voice but the more thought she gave it the more she realized just how true those words actually were. ¡°But none of that matters if he won't even talk to me.¡± When she first heard the ping of her cellphone there was a small sense of hope though it faded within an instant as she looked down at the small glowing screen.?
?
Someone had sent her a text something which she was prepared to dismiss at seeing the number was blocked. There was a moment of hesitation that led to her inevitably opening the message.

Re: Out Of Town (Damon/Lexi/Valerie)
Damon stared after the car with a satisfied smirk on his face. 2 down...Several more to go, and Bonny and Elena would be the hardest...For different reasons. Heaving a sigh he strengthened his resolve to keep his emotions off and get this situation seen to and then the hell out of here as soon as possible. Straightening his shoulders, and shoving his hands deeper into his pockets he strolled back into town. His mind was already on seeking info and the best way to do it. A public hangout would be the best place to start. That or law enforcement, but then again for them to be useful, there would need to have been a crime committed. And as it was him who had nearly torn out the throats of the odd Goth couple in question, best steer clear of the law, he decided.
?
As he walked he felt something strange...something passing over him...or an icy chill?sliding down the back of his neck. Glancing around as he stiffened, he could see nothing. Giving a pensive sigh, he sped up his steps moving into town.

Re: Out Of Town (Damon/Lexi/Valerie)
¡°Huh? Oh¡yeah we should probably do that.¡± Lexi replied belatedly as her mind had been on the possibility of there actually being a Dracula. While entertaining to consider she was hardly going to say anything about it while in the presence of her least favorite Salvatore brother.
?
While it was her intention to give the current conversation her full attention she couldn't quite manage to shake the question of why after all this time would Dracula develop an interest in Mystic Falls. It was something to be sorted out later with someone much less skeptical.
?
She turned to see that her traveling companion was already getting settled into the driver seat. Probably trying to avoid further conflict. Her head whipped around at catching his last response. ¡°Suit yourself.¡± If Damon thought for one red hot second that she was about to plead with him then he was very much mistaken.
?
The blonde gave a small shrug of her shoulders choosing the high road instead of indulging the desire to provide him with a painful reminder of what it meant to mess with a vampire who had a couple centuries on him. Climbing back into the passenger seat she closed the door as the two exchanged looks she shook her head and seconds later the car sped past him.? |

"So this Damon is a prick and you don't want him hurt,"Mihnea said flatly, though the twist of his lips at the very edges showed that he was at least mildly amused.

"I...At the times I very much wished I could've turned my emotions off, I was mortal and could not," Mihnea added after a moment.

Not one for sharing, he left it at that. He could understand this Damon not wanting his emotions, but he needed to learn respect and he would.

"It's a mess," he added with a sigh.

"Dad didn't even know there were vampires here when he sent his little human pets in," he complained.

He thought with a slight smirk how the 2 would despise being thought of as such, but they were nothing to him and he didn't care. IF they did his father's bidding for any reason?they may as well be pets.

Re: Making New Friends (Renfield/Franceska/Rebekah/etc)
"Yes I am taking your advice. Aren't you pleased," Mihnea quipped with a quiet chuckle.
?
It was useful that many people didn't believe his father was real or alive, which ever way it cut. Either Dracula was a myth or Vlad the impaler was long dead and not a vampire. IT was amusing to see that some vampires believed so firmly in this as well, though perhaps as they were a different breed it didn't matter. His father likely wouldn't be attempting to rule them at least without good cause..
?
"What can you tell me about this Damon," he asked Rebecca, deciding to perhaps continue to be subtle rather than merely roughing the other vampire up. In such cases most vampires forced themselves to get killed and that would only complicate things. If things got complicated already his father would complain and Mihnea was tired of his father's complaining of late. Always something...

Rebecca laughed slightly to Mihnea little squeaks.? She had no clue what he said but it made her smile. Even if it was just brief. She did find his kind interesting and he wasn't half bad himself when he wasn't a bat.
Rebecca followed in silence.? She watched him change and listen. Then he changed again.? Her vampiric eyes watched the mist following him. She sighed and said " really!! Did I not mention that approach when you arrived at the house. " she sighed the said " so since we got time what do you suggest we fill it with." |

"I didn't say I needed help,"Damon grumbled shoving his hands even deeper into the pockets of his jacket.
?
He hated the conflicting ever shifting emotions tossing themselves about in his chest. None of them were soft or pleasant, all of them called for some sort of action. Only half of them clamored to leave, to get the hell out of here, and the rest wanted to fight...to tear someone in half...to kick whatever vampire was sending minions out of here or at least send said minions screaming away with a message that the jerk would never forget.
?
There was no such thing as Dracula...And that was that but if a dangerous vampire with a god complex wanted to play...fine. He'd get rid of him mainly because he wanted a fight.
?
"I said I'll go back and deal, not that I would deal with nattering female companionship," he clarified, tossing a scathing look over his shoulder at the 2 as he strolled up the road toward town, openly declining their obvious offer of a ride.

Donovan Residence (Rayna/etc)
Rayna was mildly suspicious of whoever was behind their seemingly miraculous return from the grave despite being grateful that she'd been reunited with her father. It just didn't make sense why anyone would bring either of them back to life. What could they possibly hope to gain? Unfortunately the answer continued to elude her and maybe a part of the huntress was thankful for that fact.? ? It was the first of many curve balls she dealt with though her relationship with Matt Donovan was by far the most surprising. He¡¯d found them wandering on the edge of town and put a roof over their heads. Not a move she'd expected with their history and his connections to a few of the town¡¯s vampires. ? When asked to help restore the Founders Council with better training neither hesitated to agree to lend a hand with this endeavor. The three of them sat down to discuss the terms as even though the sheriff hated vampires there were certain ones he wished to remain off limits.? ? She didn't have a problem honoring his request so long as no one started dropping bodies. If they did, well then¡all bets were off. Something both she and her father made clear from the start as their first concern was the safety of the people of this town.? ? The brunette walked through the living room of the house the trio shared knowing that her father was either out and about or in his room reading a book. Perhaps she would head out later or maybe wait for her boyfriend. That word still sounded so odd even though it's precisely what Matt was to her.? ? ? ? ? ?

Salvatore Boarding House: Porch (Elena/Tatia/etc)
Elena hadn't meant to get so quiet when left alone with her doppelg?nger it was just that her thoughts often tended to drift to things she'd been told about the last five years. How had things gotten so messed up? Time and again excuses were made whenever Damon screwed up but this time was different. Tyler was dead.?
?
These days she didn't know how to feel anymore¡whether to love or hate him. Maybe that's what he wanted. It was hardly the first time he did something terrible to drive a wedge between himself and someone else. But was there any coming back from this??
?
She took a breath trying to push down the pain and anger welling up inside her though one look toward her ancestor confirmed it hadn't happened soon enough. What could be said? How could she even begin to explain why she simultaneously wanted to both hug and drive a stake through his heart?
?
One hand reached into her pocket withdrawing a cellphone she scrolled through her contacts tapping on his name then quickly hitting the home button to prevent herself from making that call. Her eyes slowly turned to her ancestor who had a look of concern on her face. ¡°I¡¯m okay.¡± She softly promised.?

Tatia couldn't say whether she believed that assurance after witnessing the range of emotions that swept across the younger woman's face. Perhaps she was simply trying to cover up her own pain in order to help someone else. ¡°If you need to talk about¡Damon¡¡± She started though let that hang there instead of finishing.?
?
She sent a quick look over her shoulder toward the house as her own thoughts drifted to Klaus who inspired conflicting emotions. If not for their explanation of certain things she might have been far more frightened of him. Though she imagined the fact he¡¯d never once hurt her could also be playing a huge part.? |

Re: Town Square (Matt/Nyssa/etc)
Katrina stood almost motionless as she watched from a safe distance attempting to sort out whether this woman needed to be ¡®dealt with¡¯ or was merely observant out of a natural curiosity. Threat or not, there was something off about her. Could be nothing. It was probably just a case of being on edge one of many occupational hazards in her line of work but still¡
?
She carefully slipped a hand into her pocket and slowly withdrew her cellphone taking a picture then sending it along with a quick text to Matt Donovan whom she hoped could help clear things up.
?
¡®Do you know who she is? Got a weird feeling about her.¡¯
?
It couldn't hurt to keep an eye the raven haired woman for a bit longer just to make sure that no one was in any immediate danger. Hopefully her concerns were unfounded but to ignore one¡¯s gut instincts, well, there were more than a few instances she could think of where that would be a rather costly (if not fatal) mistake.?

Nyssa was perhaps most curious about the woman who played such an integral part in her escape from ¡®hell¡¯. The Ferryman's daughter had glimpsed things that left her feeling mildly sympathetic while also uncertain whether she could be trusted but so far the doppelg?nger had done nothing but live up to her word.?
?
Perhaps the one known as Katherine Pierce would be able to provide her with answers about how this quaint little town avoided being destroyed by ¡®hellfire¡¯ when the Donovan girl rang the bell opening the doorway. She was soon drawn from her thoughts when she felt eyes on her, something that left her looking from the corner of her eye toward the young woman who seemed to be watching her.
?
It was obvious the girl was trying to determine whether she posed a threat, a question the raven haired woman could clear up easily enough but preferred to let her solve that mystery on her own. No doubt one of the members of this town¡¯s so-called Founders Council.?

Re: Mikaelson Property: Inside the Barn (Hayley/Samantha)

?
It was then that she remembered the other matter that needed to be discussed but couldn't think of a subtle build up to the subject of turning. Maybe the bandaid approach was best but she needed to make it clear it was her choice that no one would force it on her. ¡°One of us could turn you.¡±

There was a long pause before she said anything more on the matter. ¡°You would be stronger¡harder to kill and becoming the wolf would be something that could be controlled you would no longer be at the mercy of the full moon and the pain would be gone.¡±

It was odd to him that there were vampires that did not shift, but fascinating as well for their blood must be different...An interesting thing to taste, and he was interested...not to mention Rebecca was a pretty one.
?
Taking his mind from more pleasant matters, he focused on the hunt and on the other vampire he'd tracked earlier. Lines had to be drawn right now. Once he discovered the prey he hung back several blocks, just listening, deciding what he'd do next. They were talking of him...and his father...without knowing it. How very cute...charming even. Now he had to decide...a show down or something ,more subtle.
?
Subtle wasn't normally his thing...unless it was politics and as these vampires were different, and not under his rule, it was politics after all. Sighing he turned away and headed back toward where they had come, shifting into mist then into himself several blocks from the house where Felix and the rest were.

"Perhaps you would call it playing nice," he suggested.
