As Davina sat there in the passenger seat listening to every word as she struggled to keep from begging Kol to get them as far from this town as possible. But she knew he wouldn’t leave his niece to face this on her own and she couldn’t ask him to either. Her thoughts turning to the very real fear of this being how she would lose Kol but she couldn’t say anything about it.?

?

With a sigh, she resigned herself to knowing their travel plans were on hold indefinitely, quietly looking out the passenger side window as she knew if she were to look over at Kol 丑别’诲 see the fear and concern in her eyes. It took everything she had not to cast a look his way when he put his foot down harder on the gas knowing it was likely a sign of his frustration with the situation.?

“They figured out how to deal with ‘The Hollow’ because Vincent found a way of communicating with the one who killed her fifteen hundred years ago...Inadu’s mother. She provided him with a spell that would lock ‘The Hollow’ away inside of an ancient book. So, they lured her into a trap.” Hope hadn’t been present for any of this so all she had to go on was the account given by her aunt which she hoped would be enough.?

?

“Vincent bound Inadu inside a circle of salt to buy himself time to cast the spell but she managed to break the circle and destroy the book. She locked herself inside of me. Cue ‘Plan B’. Without the book you all needed another way of dealing with ‘The Hollow’ so it was decided that save me you would each take a part of that darkness into yourselves. You, my father, uncle Elijah, and aunt Rebekah. It’d be the end of ‘always and forever’. It would be too dangerous for you guys to even be in the same city as each other.”?

?

She avoided Miranda’s gaze as she didn’t want to risk seeing a sympathetic look in the eyes of a basic stranger. “It also meant I could never see my father or any of you ever again because ‘The Hollow’ would try to get back inside of me.” Being without her father after having only just got him back had been hard and for a short while there had least been open community between them but that ended. S丑别’诲 done some fairly desperate things all because s丑别’诲 missed her father.

?

Hope felt the tears stinging her eyes causing her to bow her head slightly to keep anyone from noticing. It wouldn’t be easy to talk about but she knew she owed her uncle the whole story. “I was fifteen years old when I cooked up a plan that would force my father to come home again. It worked. He did. He came back to find out who’d kidnapped my mother.”

?

She took a shaky breath trying to reign in her emotions as memories floated to the surface. “She was supposed to be perfectly safe. I used a cloaking spell to hide her but...this vampire who considered hybrids to be abominations found where I’d hidden her and took my mother. For a while we didn’t know who had her but then they reached out and said that if I did the binding spell so that I couldn’t create more hybrids they’d let her live.”

?

She reached up tucking her hair behind her ear without looking to see whether her uncle had glanced her way. It was just easier to tell the story if she didn’t have to see the look on anyone’s face. “I was all set to do it with Aunt Freya’s help when my father found out about what I intended to do and he wouldn’t hear of it. He didn’t want me going through what he had.”

?

Her fingers lightly wrapped around the pendant of the Mikaelson family crest as if the act of doing so brought some measure of comfort. “I ran away from school with a boy I liked who turned out to be Greta’s son and he took me to this house in the middle or nowhere. Mom was there. Next thing I knew he was putting these chains on me that kept me from doing magic. He said everything would be okay if I just did the binding spell.”

?

Without lifting her head she glanced at Davina who was still staring out the passenger side window. “Greta showed up with reinforcements. Mom...they did the binding spell on her...she was in so much pain. But when they finished she got free...and attacked Greta. By that time my father showed up to rescue us but uncle Elijah wouldn’t let him inside.”

?

She drew another breath then exhaled a bit shakily. “To understand why uncle Elijah was helping them over his family and the woman he loved you have to know that when you guys scattered he had Marcel erase all of his memories of ‘always and forever’...of all of us. But when he came through that door my mother thought he was there to save us instead he kept my father from being able to save her. She was pinned to the wall with Greta’s hand literally on her heart.”

?

“To protect me...she grabbed ahold of Greta and threw them both outside into the sunlight. It took me a long time forgive him for her death. They eventually made him agree to letting Marcel return his memories. In the days that followed I convinced aunt Freya to help me bring our family back together. I created a Chambre de Chasse that I used to keep you all from stopping me while I did a spell to extract ‘The Hollow’ from each of you and draw it back inside of myself.”

?

It honestly scared her a little to know what her uncle’s reaction would be to all of this when she finally finished telling him everything. “When my father discovered that it was killing me he came up with the plan of getting Caroline’s daughters to draw it out of me and put it inside of him then 丑别’诲 kill himself getting rid of it once and for all. In the end uncle Elijah chose to die by his side...he broke the white oak stake into two pieces and...they staked each other.”

?

She was surprised s丑别’诲 made it through talking about their deaths without falling to pieces but still she didn’t look towards the driver’s seat...to her uncle. “It’s my fault that my parents and uncle Elijah are dead. I have to fix it.” It was something that s丑别’诲 never really forgiven herself for. “If we can put ‘The Hollow’ inside Pandora’s box before she resurrects herself I’m all for it. Though I’m afraid that I don’t know anything about how she pulled it off outside of the fact of her having killed uncle Elijah in order to do it.”

?

She thought briefly of Landon and the fight they’d had over her plan to save her family. “I know that when Inadu killed him aunt Freya put his spirit inside her crystal pendant and was eventually able to put him back inside of his body.”

?

?

?

?

“Well, yeah it does...it’s just...” Bonnie sighed out of frustration, things were just much too complicated these days and often required more of an explanation than she wanted to give. “I’m so angry with him. He took the easy way out...again. It wasn’t any easy year for any of us. We all lost someone that we cared about but we were there for each other because that’s what friends do.”

?

It hurt that their friendship meant that little to him that he could just bail without so much as a second thought to the pain his decision would cause the people who cared about him. It was almost like when 丑别’诲 decided that desiccation was the way to go until Elena woke up all over again.

?

“Sorry. I know you probably don’t want to hear it.” She cast an apologetic look in his direction not fully knowing why s丑别’诲 had that little outburst around a complete stranger who was there for her help not her issues with Damon. Turning a corner she moved to a closed door on her right carefully knocking before she pushed the door open and went into the room.?

?

The walls were lined with shelves filled with books that were off limits to the students and at the far end there was a large window behind an antique wooden desk. Something she imagined was left over from the Salvatore brothers.?

?

?

?

?

“If she was buried at all then I guess it would have been there but...it’s also possible that when she died her body was burned on a funeral pyre.” Elena couldn’t be certain either way though she suspected it’d been the latter as she had no doubt that Esther would make certain she hid how Tatia died. It was still strange knowing that it’d been Elijah and not his mother who killed her ancestor.

?

“It wasn’t voluntary, no. It was just...” She shut her eyes against the memory of the sound of his neck snapping and his lifeless body hitting the ground. “I think, no, I know that’s why it happened.” If not for seeing that happen then she might never have flipped her switch as s丑别’诲 had no reason to turn it back on after what s丑别’诲 lost and the things s丑别’诲 done while her humanity was off.

?

“I’m willing to give it a shot.” She hoped his plan would work but if she wasn’t his ‘trigger’ then it was back to square one because Damon’s switch wouldn’t be flipped. “So, I’m assuming that’s gonna happen soon?” S丑别’诲 already made up her mind that the cut would only be deep enough to draw a little bit of blood as she didn’t care to explain things to a doctor.?

.

?

?

Tatia was caught off guard when the woman had admitted to being attracted to her but fortunately she was able to let that pass without having to offer a response. A woman being attracted to another woman was something she couldn’t recall having been a thing back in her day and she honestly hadn’t the slightest idea how s丑别’诲 have handled that little confession had she been single.

?

“You think so?” She asked thankful when the subject shifted to how badly Klaus might want to start the honeymoon after seeing her. It was certainly something that when she thought about it she was too distracted to care about much else. When s丑别’诲 gotten up this morning she never would’ve thought s丑别’诲 be getting ready to marry the love of her life.

?

She wished things didn’t feel as awkward as she thought the woman was making an honest effort at being her friend. If there hadn’t been so many things she couldn’t tell anyone about herself things would be different. That much she could be sure of. Taking a small breath before being led back out into the shop where Klaus was waiting.?

?

Vvanessa couldnt help when she had attempted to flirt with lexi. Her flirting game was off as it had been a while for her. She listened as lexi told her story. It was a interesting one for sure.

Vanessa said " the brother sounds like a dick. It al sounds tarumatic. So you died and came back. Now that your back you want answers. I dont blame you I would to. Let alone being betrayed by your friends brother. I would kick that guys ass. Dont get me wrong if a person that was a bad vampire it had happen to died they would deserve it. I can see even though your a vampire you have a heart and good soul. Your also a damn good looking beautiful woman." She smiled and then sighed. She said " anyway I know what trauma is. I was attack by a vampire in front of my daughter. I was killed in front of her or so I thought. I woke years later in this base learning I was a half vampire from birth. When I fied that side of me woke. It's a long story. Anyway I sight out my daughter just to learn they turned my daughter. She wasnt the same. I tried helping her fighting the obes who turned her and my daughter end up dying before my eyes." She looked down at the memories.

Lexi moved to stand with her back towards the porch railing carefully placing both hands on the smooth wooden surface. Her eyes focused on the brunette as she offered her condolences. She only gave a small nod in response not particularly feeling like discussing Stefan with a total stranger as it felt a little too personal too soon.

?

One eyebrow rose at the reassurance she was offered about not wanting to kill her. It might have set her mind at ease if she trusted her but so far she didn’t. At least the woman was keeping her distance. Though in seemingly the next instant she was distracted by what sounded a lot like some kind of pickup line which was impossible. Right? Either way she let it slide.

?

“I don’t know that there’s anything anyone can do to help. It was years ago that I came here to surprise my friend on his birthday. We went to this party some girl was throwing which we heard about from his brother. The sheriff and her deputies came up behind me at the bar...injected me with vervain and dragged me outside where they intended to kill me.”

?

She still didn’t quite understand why her death was a part of Damon’s plan back then. Turning her head slightly as she looked out at the yard a moment. “I got free only to have the sheriff start shooting me with a gun that was loaded with wooden bullets. I kept heading straight for her and then...my friend’s brother drove a stake through my heart. When I asked ‘why’ he said it was part of the plan.”

?

?

?

?

“I think it probably does but...” Katrina looked down as she got another text but didn’t respond this time as there didn’t seem to be an immediate need for one. She took a small breath. “I know two of the people who have come back from the dead and they don’t remember anything that seems particularly helpful in solving that mystery.” S丑别’诲 had several conversations with both Rayna and her father and neither of them could recall anything about whoever was behind it.

(ooc: Sorry It’s kinda short.)

Samantha could see tatia was having so anxiety. She just chalked it up to being nervous about her wedding. She saw it with alot of bride-to-be. She was silent as she worked preparing tatia so tatia could think.

When she finished she handed the mirror to tatia. She hoped she loved her work. She said " if you had been single and I saw you that beautiful I want to go out with you. I bet when he sees you. Hes gonna be dying to get to the honeymoon." She laughed smiling she then added " you dont have to thank me. After all what are friends for. " she didn't tell tatia that she used her witchy power to put a good luck blessing on her in Hope's to give her friend the marriage and life she wanted. If tatia desired and wanted a family of her own the spell would help encourage that.

She took the mirror and said " now your ready to wed that man out there." She took tatia hand gentle and lead her out to klaus..

Matt got in the booth across from her. He kept eye contact as he listened to her story. He could tell she was telling the truth. He said "you know several years back I would if probably laughed st your story. Back when only thing to worry about were freaked vampires and werewolves. Then thing just got crazier. If we didn't have to deal with sirens your story would of been hard to believe. I guess you could of sorts blame nt family for the gates opening." He studied her as he did think she was beautiful for being the ferryman daughter. If he wasnt with ratna who he loved things might of been different. He said " sounds like you had it kinda rough. Though the ferrymsns daughter wow! Sounds like a interesting power. Not to sound mean but not everyone deserves second chances. Perhaps you be cautious seeing the things I have"

He sighed and said " how many people have you brought back. If I may ask that is. I might need to prepare for the chaos coming to my town. I appreciate you being honest with me. It goes a long way."matt could see being her friend but he still had to be cautious.

Vanessa watched Lexi closely. She was studying to see the kinda persom/vampire she was. she had known many vampires most of witch she had slayed herself. Then there had been a few that were decent people who didn't kill humans. She was one person who could relate to vampires being half vampire herself. She knew how it was to have the hunger for blood.

She said " I'm sorry for your lose. I know how it feels to lose people close to you." She have Lexi a small smile. She could see the woman had something heavy weighing on her mind. She said with a light laugh " doesn't every town have there own secret society. Anyway I'm aware of it though and this town. No one other than our host here is near by otherwise I wouldnt be so open."

She contiubed to say " By the way if I wanted to kill you I would of made my move by now so you can relax. I can tell your one of the good ones." She leaned against one of the wall. She said "so what is s beautiful woman like yourself out here on the porch alone. You seemed troubled. I know we are strangers but dont mind listening if you need a friend"

Max could see she still had some doubts of him being able to take on a vampire. He smirked knowing she would be surprised on what he could do after all he did save her earlier by killing that wild cat. He laughed lightly as he said " I would imagine it would take alot to impress you though what if I was." Ge teased her alittle talking just as playful.

His hand gently stroking her cheek. He pulled her closer as he took her in his arms as the kissed his strong arms hugging her giving her a sense of sadness in his arms. He found she was a very good kisser as she kissed back. Katherine would find putting the brakes on things might not be as easy as she thought. Max pushed her gently against the wall as the kissed and as desired grew

Pandora found that more often than not vampires were a bit over dramatic, a thing she supposed had to do with their heightened emotions. Maybe that wasn’t the case here but she was hardly willing to buy into the idea of the woman being ‘evil incarnate’. “I don’t know about all that.” She had seen flashes of things the times when s丑别’诲 touched Akasha.?

?

Checking her phone to see if there was word about her missing ‘houseguest’ as she figured that Miranda would take it upon herself to track the woman down. “I think there was more at play than either you or your sister knew.” She hadn’t exactly been afforded the opportunity of getting to know the woman what with her being unconscious then gone but certain things felt clear to her.?

?

“Whatever or whoever brought Akasha back to life is ancient and quite powerful.” It was a feeling s丑别’诲 gotten when she first touched the woman’s hand trying to discover whatever she could about her. Briefly considering angels as a possibility but quickly dismissing the idea.

Lucy chose to focus on what the others were saying because not doing so meant getting lost inside her own head. She needed some sort of distraction from all the pressure she felt to regain her memory which had started coming back in pieces. Her green eyes drifted to the woman who seemed to have some sort of history with the ‘sleeping beauty’ who woke earlier that evening.?

?

“Why bring us back to life?” Her question was aimed at no one in particular. She still wasn’t entirely convinced that s丑别’诲 died at all in the first place but the others had little trouble believing she had. But dead was dead, wasn’t it? She briefly looked to the ‘young man’ now standing at Maharet’s side out of curiosity.

“If I thought for one second it’d work...I would be praying to whoever was up there listening.” Jamie gave a quick nod when a coworker came around behind the bar signaling the end of her shift. She then turned back to the redhead with whom s丑别’诲 been discussing her uncle and curses. “It’s sort of hard to believe in higher powers when as a little girl you spent not one but two Halloweens being stalked by the ‘boogeyman’.”

?

She walked around from behind the bar taking a seat on one of the stools after sending a look toward the booth where her cousin was sitting. Part of her almost wished s丑别’诲 left her with Loomis because then she wouldn’t be spending every moment of every day worrying about Kali becoming like her father.

?

?

?

?

?

?

?

?

Kali let her eyes move back to her sketchbook turning the page she began drawing a picture of a little boy in a clown costume with a bloody kitchen knife in his hand with a jack-o-lantern on the porch just behind him.?

Katherine regarded him with one eyebrow arched slightly as she debated whether it was confidence or foolishness that led him to believe himself a match for a vampire when there wasn’t a full moon. But she kept these thoughts to herself as it wouldn’t serve her greater agenda to create needless friction between them. “Trying to impress me?” She asked with a playful smirk.

?

She could tell he was trying to get a read on her but she preferred to leave him guessing as to what she might be thinking. His simple question in response to the kiss had brought a look of mischief to her brown eyes. But before she offer an explanation (not that s丑别’诲 intended to) 丑别’诲 drawn her into a passionate kiss one she reciprocated.

?

Her hands moving to his arms slowly running the length of them as she continued kissing him though she had every intention of ‘hitting the brakes’ (so to speak) when it suited her. But for now, s丑别’诲 simply enjoy herself. After all, he was a really good kisser.?

?

?

Jenica for the most part ignored what was said as she fought to get a handle on her feelings of pain and anger. Though s丑别’诲 been mildly aware of something having been said that could either be construed as a warning or even a threat in response to her suggestion about his attitude. But at this point she didn’t much care she was just done with all of it.

?

She became almost visibly tense when a hand was placed on her shoulder deciding in that moment she wouldn’t go down without a fight if things started to go sideways. Though one could probably argue that they had already judging by the bloody bite mark on her neck. Half turning as she looked in his direction slowly letting his words sink in. He believed her? When had that happened?

?

“I did it because you’re my brother.” For her that was reason enough to do what she felt she had to. Family had always been everything to her. She sighed heavily while looking away as she set about answering his other question. “I didn’t know what else to do...one of the gypsies told me of a vision one of the elders had. She said you were to be beheaded on the battlefield.”

?

The thought brought tears to her eyes though she fought to keep them from falling. “I couldn’t let it happen. I had to do something...anything.” She knew as the older sibling 丑别’诲 always felt it was duty to protect her and maybe it was.

?

She broke eye contact with her brother to look over at Mina who began telling her about Renfield and the book both being real. “There’s been talk among hunters that the descendants of Van Helsing and the others carried on his legacy. But I don’t know if there’s any truth to it.”

?

“Problem?” Her brow furrowed as she repeated the word. His choice of words combined with the fact he wanted none of them killed had made her curious. She slowly looked back to Mina with a raised eyebrow as she wasn’t entirely certain what to make of what the other woman had said. “Turkish mages...not gargoyles.” She hoped that cleared a few things up as they’d been who s丑别’诲 meant when talking of killing some in her demon days.

?

Jenica stood there in silence as the two discussed the ‘补迟迟补肠办’ and soon found herself saying. “There’s an old spell called ‘shattered mind’ but I can’t say with any certainty whether this is that or just something close.” Her gaze shifted back to her brother who seemed proud of having witches under his command. “See, thing is, as ‘guardians of nature’ most of them are not big fans of vampires.”

?

S丑别’诲 seen more than a few witches take a vampire down without a moments hesitation. They were definitely not to be screwed with. Though she didn’t doubt there were some who were willing to serve her brother. “You’ll get no argument from me about the Turks.” Neither the centuries nor her time in hell had changed her feelings towards them, if anything she was far more likely to kill them now.?

*repost*

Lexi couldn’t put a finger on why s丑别’诲 chosen to eavesdrop on the conversation taking place within the house. Maybe it was just a case of nerves as being back here?(a place where local law enforcement had with the help of her least favorite Salvatore brother had driven a wooden stake through her heart)?wasn’t at all easy, in fact, it was done right terrifying in its own right.

?

She walked the length of the porch fighting off memories of being dragged from the Mystic Grille after being injected with vervain. There was that moment when s丑别’诲 thought it possible she might escape even after being shot with wooden bullets but then?丑别’诲?shown up with a wooden stake in hand. One word passed her lips as it was driven into her heart...’奥丑测?’

?

While the chance to live again was something the blonde was grateful for it also proved a little challenging to adjust after having?‘found peace’when the Other Side collapsed. With any luck it would all get easier, after all, it was only in the quiet moments that she struggled at all.

?

Tipping her head slightly as two sets of footsteps caught her attention, one that happened to be moving into another part of the house while the second set came towards the front door which opened shortly thereafter. One eyebrow lifted as she regarded the woman whose statement left her on edge. “It’s the one year anniversary of when one of my oldest friends died.”

?

She kept herself on guard as it was too soon to tell whether this woman was some sort of vampire hunter or perhaps a witch with an axe to grind either way letting someone get the drop on her again wasn’t at the top of her list. “I wouldn’t recommend tossing around the ‘v word’ so casually in this town because it’s got a secret council who doesn’t give a damn whether you’re good or bad just being one is enough of a reason to get a stake driven through one’s heart.”
