* heretic / 𝕓𝕣𝕒𝕥 !

♊ — “I’VE GOT A NEW FRIEND –” the heretic wailed in his joy; hands cupped to contain said partner closely (and affectionately) to his chest. “– and he probably bites!”

Elijah found himself in the kitchen of the Salvatore school, cooking up something.. He was trying to keep himself busy, the fear constantly running through his mind. But by cooking and trying to find some normalcy, he found himself focused. He heard the footsteps before they even made it into the kitchen. “Need something?”

❝ Who is asking? ❞ The heretic questioned, not answering his question. She walked over to where he was and raised her eyebrows ❝ I don’t need anything from you, unless you know how to find someone without using magic ❞

At first Valerie had been upset at what the other two heretics had done. Their actions to destroy the phoenix stone had made her briefly lose Stefan. She eventually was able to get his soul back to his body even if the spell had been taxing on her. Then as the years went by she grew past her grudges and accepted what had happened. Once Nora asked if she was sure that it wasn’t Rayna Cruz, the heretic nodded. However, once she began to ask about the twins from Caroline she sighed. “Yes, they were both born as siphoners. They’re both lucky to not have the kind of families we had,” she shrugged. “As for me, uh, I traveled around the world a lot. I wrote in journals and learned about more magic. But I returned here because I got a job.”

It wasn’t rare for Natalia to go on late night walks in the woods by herself, in fact it was a thing she did far before she was even a triggered wolf. She loved listening to the rustle of the leaves as the wind blew, the quiet that nature offered to give her some peace to think. Eyes closed for a brief moment as she took everything in, it was then she heard the footsteps behind her. “Looks like I’m not the only person to like night walks.” Came the comment as she looks to the other behind her.

Wandering around in the dark was not new to Nora. She had done it plenty of times. The nights were special when it was peaceful and quiet, and only a few sounds filled the air. A wind that makes the most peaceful sounds. This night was very quiet, almost too quiet, and the heretic began to wonder if the world’s creatures were gone, where had she no clue. But everyone were presumably asleep. What normal person wandered around in the darkness when danger could lurk around behind the trees. At the sound of a voice, Nora frowned ❝ Neither did I, and people never fail to surprise you. I’d began to think I was the only one who enjoys this, walking out in the world at night. It’s more nice than the day time, because it’s not as many sounds, or imbeciles who easily can make you irritated at them ❞

(¸.• ♛ → “How is that even happening?” She muttered, grabbing her head with one hand, feeling the pain there, she was alive and she didn’t know why she needed to be in Mystic Falls so badly but something was making her stay and looking for something.

The brunette heretic turned around when she heard a voice. Her eyes widened and she stared at the blonde. She could not believe that it was Mary Louise ❝ I have no idea, but it’s strange ❞ She replied and stepped closer to her ❝ Mary Lou, you are alive again ❞ Nora became nervous, but quickly grabbed the blonde’s hand and pulled her into a hug. She wrapped her arms tightly around her waist ❝ I have missed you ❞

“ i’m sorry, i’m not much help. ” She offered half of an empathetic smile, the frustration felt on both sides of the predicament. “ the year? no, i’m afraid i haven’t gotten that far yet. ” her eyebrows furrowed slightly at the question . “ despite knowing i am in a town called mystic falls, i do not know where i am, how i am here, the last memory i have is.. of dying && i know i don’t belong here. ”  

“I’m finding that being drunk and here…makes everything that little bit more easier to deal with.” God knows he just needed a drink too or five..somehow he couldn’t quite remember how many it had been but he wasn’t gonna complain or be all brooding and that is what counted. “You want one too?”

Still not sure how to feel about some of this new technology stuff.

“A little bit of magic, and making sure to moisturize.” the witch teased as she looked at her old friend, enjoying the compliment. It was always nice to hear, especially when things were as tense as they had been around the boarding school the last few days. “Someone else like Mary Louise?” she asked, raising an eyebrow for just a moment before offering a sincere “I’m sure she'l show up sooner or later, everyone is making an appearance lately.”

As time passed she regretted how much hatred she felt towards her family of heretics and Lily. It had been wasted since she truly only hated Julian anyways. “At least you had each other by your side and were able to have that last moment,” she tried to lighten the situation. Despite the moment resulting in their deaths not everyone could have that closure. “No more people like Rayna Cruz at least, no,” she nodded. “They just didn’t bother to take the time to understand and siphoners aren’t seen as monsters anymore. Those twins that Caroline carried are still alive,” she added.

When she first found out about both Nora and Mary Louise’s death she’d been heartbroken over Stefan. Over time she’d been able to process her grief and really miss their company. She always believed that if they had all been able to change their murderous ways of the past they deserved a second chance. “I did. I found the explosion site after,” she kept it simple. “I just wish I could’ve been able to help stop that from happening.”

Despite the fact that it was a holiday, it was a bad day for Klaus. He was in a mood, with little to no sleep. The feeling of being suffocated and powerless against the beatings of Mikael was enough to piss him off. The sudden call pulled him from the depth of his dark mind, “I don’t know, 2032 I think?” Shoulders rise and fall at the guess. He’s been alive for only two weeks, and that was enough to look at a calendar here and there. “Mystic Falls may have new businesses and all, but it’s still the same Mystic Falls. It will always be the same Mystic Falls.” The town sign should have had ‘Supernatural hot-spot’ printed clear as day beneath the town name. “Let me guess, you were just brought back to life?”

Qetsiyah hadn’t exactly been trying to be inconspicuous, but when she heard a woman call out to her, she was a little surprised. Turning the face the woman, she looked her over, quickly determining that she didn’t know her, and picking up from the questions being asked that the woman didn’t know who.she was either. “2032.”

💋— “I wasn’t aware I looked like a bloody tour guide,” the original vampire sneered at the woman that had so rudely stepped in front of her. That was until she actually thought about the questions that were asked. It wasn’t about the place – no, the girl seemed more than cognitive of the fact they were in Mystic Falls. It was the when, and that’s what turned things from annoying to concerning. “It’s twenty-thirty-two.” She eyed the stranger suspiciously, wondering if and when more information would follow. “You remember nothing?”

Another blast from the past. She was starting to think she saw dead people more frequently than the living, but she pushed the thought aside as she looked at the heretic. “It was a long time ago…” the Bennett witch admitted as she offered Nora a warm smile. “Hey stranger.”

She jumped somewhat, brain on full alert when a woman calls for her. “Yes?” She’s unsure if they’re talking to her or somebody nearby, but she responds, trying to keep her voice even. “Mystic falls?” Amara repeats, finally getting some clue on the town she woke up in. Confusion and sadness took hold of her features, for the last memory is a faint but devastating thought. “I am looking for answers myself.” 

Valerie had been exploring the town when her ears suddenly picked up on a familiar voice nearby. Her eyes scanned around the area before she saw the figure some distance away. She used her vamp speed to travel over before making the human forget the situation and leave. Once the human was gone she turned around to face Nora before wrapping her arms around the brunette. “I’ll answer your questions, but I’ve just missed you so much.”
