“Caroline Forbes.” Luka acknowledged, sipping his coffee. “I see you’re still round.”

The last thing that Sarah remembers is waking up in peace.. and now here she is, back in the real world? With no way of knowing how it happened or who did it? "Come on." She groaned in frustration. Now she knew she had to be on gaurd. "How did this even happen?" @fallsstarters

“How did what even happen?” He questioned, wondering if maybe she was back from the dead too, but it wasn’t like he could come out and ask that.

“You’re coughing and asking me if I’m okay?” He gave a small laugh. “A little too strong?” He motioned to the drink. “And yeah, I’ll be alright. I just got back in town. I don’t really know anyone yet.” He shrugged, it wasn’t entirely true, but it also wasn’t a complete lie.

"That would probably be less confusing than this," she admitted. She'd spent a while both living as and seeing ghosts. But this didn't feel like that. And in the time she was the anchor, she had never seen Luka, nor his father. "How are you here?"

Luka smiled. “I thought if anyone would know how I’m here it would be you. And don’t look all scared, I’m not here for revenge.” He shrugged. “But staying alive would be nice, so maybe keep your vampires in check.”

"Sure," she said with a laugh. "Guess the town is still getting used to the new college, right?" Small town rules were different when you had lots of non-locals.

“I heard something about that in passing. A new college?” Luka was curious. “I just got back in town.”

“That obvious?” He said with a small, humorless laugh. “What’s got you looking down?” Maybe not the right question for a complete stranger to be asking, but the girl seemed like she could use some conversation.

All emotions were all over the place when she came back to life. She didn't want to deal with them. Turned them off. Knew as a vampire you could do that. Why would she bother to care when everything ended up in a catastrophe anyway. She was done. Cami sat a bar, thinking of what to do next. Where to begin, start to plan the revenge plot. If those people were still alive or dead didn't she know. This wasn't who she was, but when her emotions were turned off ― she felt like another person, a new upgraded version of herself. More brave. She sipped on the beer she had ordered, brows raised when a person said cheers. Nodded her head and drank again "Cheers. What are we celebrating?"

Luka shrugged. “Life.” He guessed that was a good enough answer. He studied the woman, she wasn’t a familiar face, which was probably a good thing. He didn’t know how he would take seeing the ones responsible for his death.

“Yup. I get that a lot.” Luka smirked. He would have been well over 21 if he hadn’t been killed, so that counted right? “I’m twenty-two.”

She had been resistent to the idea of coming out. She had just gotten back to Mystic Falls and she knew Shay was still adjusting. But Matt had insisted she was fine and she had been happily playing with her new doll when she left. She didn't have to stay long. Just a couple hours and she could go home. As she began to lift a drink to her lips, she spotted him, a blast from the past. Without realizing, the glass slipped from her fingers, shattering across the floor.

At the sound of the glass breaking Luka turned to find the source. He hadn’t expected Bonnie Bennett to be the first person to cross his path. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

Summer stood up and approached her, shaking her head softly. "Hey." She said, titling her head to the side. "You didn't mean to kill him, you were protecting me, you did it to protect me." She had never been one for physical touch but in that moment, Summer reached for her hand. "I'm not letting anything happen to you ... I'll take the blame, you're not going to get banished because of me." There was no way Summer would let her go through that. "It will be okay." Summer whispered, pulling her in for a hug.

Luna’s mind was still racing, but she let her body relax into Summer. She focused on her breathing, on Summer’s words. When she was finally calm enough she spoke. “You’re not taking the blame.” She shook her head, pulling away just enough to look at Summer. “Besides, it’s not like I can hide the fact that I killed someone.” Her voice cracked and more tears fell. “I’m a werewolf, Summer.” She whispered out. Of course that hadn’t been a secret, but it had been something Luna never thought she’d have to face.

"Okay, good point." She laughed softly. She would try to just enjoy it.

“Dad!” Luna covered her eyes as she turned away. “Uh, yeah.” She grabbed the clothes that had been nearby. With her eyes still partially shut she stumbled over to hand him the clothes.

“In my opinion, you can never go wrong with too many Christmas decorations.” She smiled softly.

Luna smiled softly, but faded quickly. “Do you think the fun will last?” So much chaos had been happening lately, even Luna was having a hard time looking on the bright side.
