❝ ⸻ Around this timeline it's still Joshua . Luke and Liv aren't even 22 yet so the merge hasn't happened . Not that it ever will , all considering . ❞ Bonnie mused over as she looked at kai . Even though he got closer , she never stepped away from him nor did she pulled her hand back . Feeling his heart beating on the palm of her hand as he looked into her eyes , the witch slowly nodded . ❝ Help me and I will help you . give me what I want and I will give you what you want . ❞ She sighed and decided to ignore his comment . realizing her hand was on his chest a little too long , she dropped it to her side ❝ Fine . Are you staying somewhere or with someone ? ❞ She did wonder how he was making by .

♊ — The thought alone made him prickle, happily. Whole coven? A little extreme, even for him. It must've felt nice though. "Who's the leader. I don't believe Lucas and Olivia are quite the age yet to be taking that mantle. I can't have one over the other, baby," he purred. He, unprompted, took her hand and placed it over his heart. "I mean as well as you mean," he assured, eyes staring directly into hers. "Do unto me only what you wish to be done unto you." Kai half expected her to not comment on his little quip. "You heard me."

❝ ⸻ How scary . I'm imagining sinking my teeth on to yours . ❞ Caroline gave him a cheeky smile before shaking her head . ❝ God , No . Just surrogate mother . Before Jo died , your coven decided to put her twins in me . But they are still MY DAUGHTERS in every way except biologically . ❞

♊ — "I'm imagining what the inside of your neck feels like." Charming little brat, he was. He'd admit, that 'prank' got him—even if only briefly. His dark grey eyes shining in intrigue at her before she laughed. Then he joined her with a smile of his own. "Ah. Sister-in-law. Lot less cool than the first thing you said."

❝ ⸻ New Orleans . ❞ Davina smiled at the taller male before she felt something take over . Something that pushed out her own words without realizing it ❝ I'm here in town because I'm hiding from my coven set out to kill me . Which is useless considering I kill any of the witches wanting to drag me back to New Orleans ... I'm also trying to find a way to turn into a vampire without losing my magic ❞ she was taken aback by what she confessed . ❝ why did I just tell you that ? I'm sorry , Ignore what I just said ... ❞

♊ — "Ooh." It would have been nearly impossible for him to resist. He scooped up one of the birthday cake and popped it whole into his mouth. Without pausing to chew and swallow, he nodded and continued: "Where you from?" Kai smiled at her, pointing a lone finger toward himself. "Portland."

❝ ⸻ Talk about daddy issues .❞ Hayley commented regarding klaus killing his father . ❝ If you run with the right crowed you learn a thing or two . rumors . I don't know them personally but there are stories from the people I crossed path with . ❞

"It helps that it wasn't a sibling," Stefan replied. "I helped Klaus kill Mikael - their father." He looked her over. "How do you know so much about the Mikaelsons?"

[ofgraveblud]

When bonnie heard emily's name , she slowly nodded . ❝ ⸻ Do I look like emily ? ❞ Emily was her first vision . The first spirit to help her once she opened herself to magic more . ❝ I take it you guys were close ? ❞

Ana nodded. "Yep. Definitely do not recommend that swan dive," she said. Her features softened when the girl identified herself. "Bennett," she echoed. "You're a descendant of Emily, right?"

[ofgraveblud]

at the mention of marcel , davina froze . she knew him to be the vampire leader but that's all . Still , at the thought of being dragged back to new orleans made the room tremble a bit . Her emotions getting high as was her magic before she stood up , hugging the book in her hand as she took one step back . calming herself down . or at least trying to . ❝ ⸻ You're working for them , aren't you ? ❞ Davina wanted nothing more than to kill her if she was ... but davina knew she couldn't do much considering she was in public . ❝ If you came here to take me back , you're wasting your time . Usually I go for the kill but you're the youngest one to try and get me . So I suggest you stop following them blindly and pretend you never saw me here before you meet the ancestors PERSONALLY on the other side . ❞

Hope could recognize a grimoire anywhere, especially with the way Davina was protecting it. The comment about Rebekah, though. The Rebekah from 2010 wouldn't know about Davina. Good. At least Hope had an ally out there who actually knew her. Well, a family member. "Rebekah?" She didn't know how she felt about her aunts changing the timeline. Especially not with Davina coming to Mystic Falls. "Where's Marcel?" She questioned. Because if Marcel thought the Mikaelsons had returned and kidnapped his ward - then there would be another war here between her father and brother, and Hope would be forced to intervene.

❝ ⸻ pretending to avoid . ❞ Caroline smiled at him . something in her stirred before she pushed it all down . Feelings were useless . ESPECIALLY when this stefan was still in love with elena during this time . ❝ Don't want to be bothered tonight . So when people think you're taken people won't bother you . ❞ Looking at him , made her decide that maybe this time , she could save him . ❝ you just have to stand there and look handsome . which you always do ... and ill be the horrible friend who stole her best friend's date ❞ She assumed he came with elena , not that she cared .

To say he was shocked with the familiarity that Caroline was showing him, was an understatement. "And... who are you trying to make jealous?" He asked, turning to smile at her, assuming this was her way of either pretending to be in a relationship with him or trying to make someone jealous at the ball. "I'm happy to play the part, I just need to know the script."

[ofgraveblud]

❝ ⸻ Just beating you to it . ❞ Caroline grinned at kai . He was chatty when he wanted to annoy them . ❝ what do you have in mind in that twisted little head of yours ? ❞ Caroline raised an eyebrow at kai . ❝ ⸻ Caroline Forbes . Your future ex wife . ❞ Caroline decided to play a prank . A moment of silence before laughing at the idea of it . ❝ Kidding . The mother of your future niece's , jo's daughters , who you tried to kill but miserably failed . ❞

♊ — "Chatty Cathy, aren't you." His eyes bat curiously at her, taking a moment to check out her digs as well. "We can arrange something, if you're feeling let down." Cue a, though tamer, murdery smile. "And who are you supposed to be?" He didn't believe she could be Olivia, but then again, she'd been four the last he'd seen her.

[ofgraveblud]

❝ ⸻ Except when katherine pretends to be elena . Which can be annoying and unless you pretend to be any of the other ones . different . Yes . But still the same face. ❞ Caroline smiled at ana . ❝ I am . The one and thankfully only . What brings you here ana . Because i certainly would have remembered meeting ANOTHER one of you .❞

"It is much easier than you might believe. I know who I am, I know who Tatia is, I know who Katerina is. We share a face and a bloodline, but we are each different." She said. She could tell there was something off about the vampire. Something she'd noticed with all of the vampires who knew more than they should. Humanity, perhaps? "You must be Caroline," she noted. "The vampire best friend. I'm Ana."

[ofgraveblud]

❝ ⸻ Damon salvatore .❞ Tatia looked over the raven-haired man . ❝ Did elena come with you ? ❞ She wondered if her doppelgänger had come .

Never one to turn down an invitation to a ball, Damon strode directly into the Lockwood Mansion as if it was his own home, heading straight for the drinks. Mulling over the very despicable choices offered, he picked one up, taking a sip as he examined the room around him. He wasn't sure who had invited him here, but he was definitely ready to find out.

[ofgraveblud]

❝ ⸻ I thought the mikaelson siblings were all die-hard for one another ? ❞ Hayley replied confusingly . She never met any of them or know what they looked like but rumors were always around .

"Considering they helped with the plan, I don't think I'm in any danger."

[ofgraveblud]

❝ ⸻ The way I see it , even a ghastly future is better than no future at all . ❞ tatia took a sip of her glass . ❝ Just make sure to make it a good one for you and your loved one . ❞ She gave him a small smile in support . not like she was going to be in the future either way .

"I know most people would say no to that, but honestly, if that's the price to pay then yes. I will be some completely different, this isn't the life I planned anyway, and the people I love... well most of them are dead, so pretty happy to change their future as well."

[ofgraveblud]

It didn't take much for bonnie to put two and two together . Only way she wouldn't remember someone looking like her best friend would be because of ❝ ⸻ Malivore ? ❞ Bonnie gave her an odd look before deciding to introduce herself . ❝ ⸻ Yeah , I'm bonnie bennett . Wild guess you might have ran into an ancestor of mine . ❞

"Yes, you wouldn't remember me even if you did meet me." Ana couldn't help but feel drawn to the other woman. Like something in her soul was pulling her forward, something all too familiar. "You're a witch, aren't you?" she asked. "You remind me of someone I used to know."

[ofgraveblud]

❝ Oh , it's just a personal book .❞ She wasn't sure if she should tell her . Despite the magic and energy she felt off her . Given she was hiding from the ancestors , trusting other witches was not on her table . ❝ I write my own research in it . My friend , rebekah kind of made me come here and long story short I'm just keeping myself out of the spotlight .❞ Davina mused . unaware of the fact that this was rebekah's niece and she basically revealed rebekah's involvement in davina's future now changing .

She nodded, though her eyes were focused on the book in Davina's hand. "What's that?" she asked, ignoring the offered food. "Did you bring a book to a Ball? Is dancing really that boring?"

[ofgraveblud]

❝ ⸻ I said people who decide to shut it of are . not just you . I think my friends were also idiots in wanting to numb the emotional pain for what ? a bit ? just to feel it all over again later when they turn it on ? On top of the fact the guilt of the pain they caused and regret with their humanity off ? good luck with it all . ❞ Bonnie rolled her eyes at hope .

❝ My friends survive your father . Nothing will change that other than the fact that there are people like US that might change that . Everything will go as played , I get wanting to prevent your mother and father from dying ... but careful not to erase yourself from the future either . it would be a nasty way to go . but glad we can be on the same page when it comes to it . No intervening ... unless necessary . I have better things to worry about other than your father .❞

"That's just one witch's opinion," Hope replied. "You know, I don't think it's very smart to be telling the tribrid that she's an idiot," she warned. "Dr. Saltzman's not here to keep me from killing you - not that it would matter if he was or not. I already killed him once." Something shifted in her face, though, when Bonnie mentioned the spear - the one weapon that could kill the Tribrid. "Well, when I had my humanity on, I didn't want to die. But with it off? I'm having too much fun to check out early." She smiled at the mention of her father - and what he was up to. "I'm not doing anything to change what's going to happen, at least not until my future is secured. Until then, if anyone comes near my family? That includes: my dad, my mom, my aunts, my uncles, my cousin, or my hybrids. I will kill them and everyone they've ever loved. Believe me when I saw this: I will not lose them again. I don't care if this entire town has to go up in flames. I'll intervene, if necessary, but that's the extent of what I'll do."

[ofgraveblud]

❝ ⸻ Not really the type ... Between you and me , I prefer a bonfire or bars and lake/beach parties but couldn't really say no to my date who also happened to pick out my dress . ❞ Hayley lightly chuckled as she shook her head . ❝ You look lovely too . ❞ Hayley was about to answer her own thoughts on the invite when hope made a confession that made her stomach turn .

why she felt like she cared about this girl she just met in the woods , she didn't know . It pushed and pulled on her mind . ❝ ⸻ Why the hell would you do that ? Killing yourself for the past 10 years ? ❞ Part of hayley wanted to scream but why ? it wasn't like she was her kid or anything to her .

CLOSED STARTER for @ofgraveblud - hayley LOCATION: The Lockwood Mansion / The Faerie's Ball

"Well, you look lovely," Hope commented as she approached Hayley from behind. "Didn't think you'd be the type to dress up. But red is your color." Red, like blood. Like fire. Like binding her werewolf side and running into the sunlight with Greta to save Hope from being bound as well. "Any ideas who invited us here? Or are you just standing here, looking pretty?" There was something at the back of Hope's mind. A push. Something that needed to be said - not the thing she desperately wanted to say - but something else. "I've been sneaking away to kill myself for the past ten years to visit my boyfriend in Limbo. Because I'm a tribrid, I just keep coming back." Hope shook her head, then looked at Hayley, accusingly. "You didn't become a witch or something in the past week, did you? Why the hell did I just say that?"

❝ ⸻ why the long face ? ❞ Davina saw him in the corner of the room . Clearly deep into thought . The party was going well , but part of her just wanted to go home now .
