despite giving back the same small smile, melissa still could not hide her concern on her features. there was no denying that the brunette was in not well. she could fix her posture and fix her tone, but melissa could see through it. naturally and by instinct, melissa wanted to help the girl out. " i can bring you electrolytes and some food. " she offered, taking a step closer. " we wouldn't want the partiers to get mad because an ambulance had to come and pick you up. " melissa added, attempting to ease the situation.

Diana was trying to focus on her breathing. Moving the energy back into herself. Not outward. Not how she could hurt people. She felt the magic rollback into her and she took a deep breath. it should have been easier now. She heard the voice and stood up straight, getting herself together. “I work out a lot and never skip a meal,” She gave a small smile. “I’m fine. You’re fine,”

to say melissa was surprise was to say the least. the young girl spoke with such elegance and maturity ; qualities that were unique. she could not help but softly chuckle as she neared the girl. " i couldn't agree more. " melissa had always found a beauty in classical music, ever since was a young girl and had been given a violin. " play any instruments yourself ? "

❝ ⸻ Oh , thank you . Not many people like the classics . but I always say that the classics constitute an almost infallible process for awakening the soul to its full stature ❞ Paige smiled at the woman and motioned for her to come in .

her own eyebrows furrowed together as he pointed out that she wasn't missing much. she wasn't quite sure what he meant by that, and she even wondered if he had perhaps had a couple too many drinks. " not flustered, simply surprised. which i feel stupid for, because is it really a party if there isn't random make out sessions in the dark ? " she dodged his question all too casually, taking a small sip out of her wine glass. not quite comfortable sharing her insecurities with some random stranger. she wasn't that drunk yet.

melissa was trusting by nature, but life had taught her to always be cautious ; to never trust a book by its cover. she had been betrayed by family members before. not only that, but she had a son as a werewolf. for now, though, she simply gave a genuine smile and received the money. "you're right. you never truly know what lies in the shadows nowadays. " melissa replied, shoving the money deep into her purse before continuing to speak. " and no--- i'm not new. i've lived here for a while. i'm melissa. " she extended her hand out towards the other. " i'm guessing you're new ? "

She had somewhat taken the bait, though she was fairly certain that the lady in front of her was not of the supernatural world. In fact, she would be close to say she held no idea of what lurked in the shadows. Naïve, was the word she looked for -- and it was sweet in ways, but damaging in others. "No bother -- you never know who is going to steal your things these days." She smiled, falsely as she chuckled, fake in nature. "Are you new?" She was unsure who was new, and who had been here a long time. She was new to the town somewhat, residing her only a few months but had not made herself socially involved -- not wishing to.

her own lips mirrored the opposite girl, except melissas' smile was warmer ; more motherly. however, she took her hand and gave it a firmer hand shake. " melissa. i'm sure the pleasure is all mine, bonnie. " the older woman replied, before finally taking a sip out of her own drink. melissa could only imagine what the people from mystic falls were feeling. she had never lost her home to a fire, but she had felt alone. that she could relate to. " well..-- i am about to finish this glass and would not mind the company for another one, or...-- go home and get some rest, bonnie. your secret will be safe with me if you do. " she lightly joked and assured her all in one.

She appreciated the words , often noting that many wished to put the past behind them. Bonnie, was one of those people who struggled to do so. The town of which held important history, memories of loved ones now lost, and it left doubts in her mind. She felt lost, fearful for the future that presented itself. "I appreciate that, and in truth, you are right -- I am trying to remain open minded, but in truth I am tired from my travels, which does not help." She laughed, trying to lighten the mood somewhat. "Thank you for giving a listening ear, it is much appreciated." The locals were showing compassion of which Bonnie was previously unsure of. "I'm Bonnie." She held out a hand, a weak smile raising to her lips.

melissa might have missed the girl rushing past her if had not been for the flickering lights. sure, there were disco lights here and there, but this was a different kind of light show. the human had surrounded herself with enough supernatural to know this could not be normal. it also happened that curiosity won over her, and she followed the flickering lights. they led to a girl in distraught. " that's quite the strength you have there for a small girl. " melissa spoke out, keeping a safe distance.

Diana was having a conversation with someone when she felt it... her magic. It felt like the scar was boiling. Trying to break free from her palm. "Excuse me," She said, hoping the person didn't follow her. She found herself going by an empty booth, her hand burning from the inside out. She looked at the scar and saw it. "Stop!" She said, but her magic surged again. "Stop!" The lights at the booth flickered. "No," She slammed her hand on the booth, the wood cracking. She took a moment to breathe, a voice coming into her head. "I'm fine. I'm fine,"

melissa couldn't help but stop as she strolled through the streets of beacon hills. the soft melody of a violin catching her attention. it sounded melancholic ; a softness and elegance she was attracted to. her lips twisted into a soft smile as she remembered fondly her years of playing violin. it seem like ages ago. an entirely different life. as if compulsed, she entered the building. a voice snapped her out of her trance, though. " my apologies, i heard the music and...-- well, you have good taste. "

For two years paige kept to the shadows . Only person she ever spoke to living out in the woods was an old woman , DONNA , who owned the bar in town and would go on walk from time to time . she had been hanging around her and whenever she needs the extra had at the bar paige would help out . This time she had the bar to herself and was listening to her favorite classics ( F. CHOPIN : NOCTURNE IN C SHARP MINOR FOR VIOLIN AND PIANO ) as she did donna's inventory .

❝ ⸻ Bar isn't really open . All alcoholic drinks are being sold in the town square along with the rest of food and fun games . ❞ Paige called out as she kept writing .

if she was being honest, melissa felt awkward out here. it had been a while since she had time to attend a party. the glass of wine felt odd in her hand. the music felt loud in her ears. she kept telling herself that after a second glass of wine she'd feel more at ease. just one more glass. melissa decided that perhaps she needed some fresh air. as she rounded the corner of the tent, she realize she might have made a mistake. her eyes landed on a couple being, what appeared to be, intimate. her cheeks immediately turned red as she fumbled back. " i'm sorry. i didn't mean to..--" she stumbled over her words ; avoiding eye contact. " yeah, confidence is great thing to have. " melissa cleared her throat. " i'm sorry. i came to get fresh air. i did not mean to intrude in your...-- night activities. " she finished more firmly, attempting to compose herself.

Kol never promised anyone he would be on his best behavior at this so-called party for the Mystic Falls residents. Of course, the red carpet would be rolled out for the Scooby Gang but that didn't mean he couldn't have some fun. So here he was, behind one of the tents, finishing sipping from a worker. He pulled away when he heard footsteps coming by, licking his lips and compelling the girl. "Make sure to cover that nasty cut-up and drink some juice. Now go," He wiped his mouth with a napkin, smirking at the person who came behind. "You know girls. Can't resist me," He said with a smirk.

her motherly eyes landed on the brunette ; remaining silent as the other expressed her grief. so young, yet so full of sadness. it was unfair what these kids were going through. " sometimes bad things are done with good intentions. it does not make them any less painful. " she sympathized with her. " a small distraction might be good, though. your problems will be there tomorrow and the next day. you've deserved a night off. "

"A good dance and some food doesn't repair what we have lost " Bonnie contemplated, eyes distant as memories flooded her mind. This felt like another loss, having many memories in Mystic Falls posed her further heartache. She had lost many loved ones there, the love of her life, and it felt like a loss all over again. "I understand it was with pure intentions.'

[shemccall]

melissa was mesmerize by the festivities surrounding her. it was not every day that she had the chance to come out and enjoy the night out. she did not even know where to begin. however, before she could make a decision a voice snapped her out of her own thoughts. she immediately turned around to face the owner of said voice. her shoulders eased up and she released a soft laugh. " bless your heart. i was going to use that to buy myself an elote. thank you...-- " she lingered off noticing she did not know the others name.

She was distant, eyes surveying the room as the music played around her. She was far from intrigued, instead, she was seeking out the locals, wishing to see who had arrived from Mystic Falls. She knew her targets , intuition often working in her favour. She locked her gaze and sighed, preparing to play yet another act. "I'm sorry , you seem to have dropped this." She passed them the money that lay aimlessly on the floor, hoping to instigate a conversation and uncover their intentions.

melissa was born to two immigrant parents from mexico. they crossed the border to give a baby melissa a better future. both of her parents worked in the fields long, tiring hours. they had a baby boy four years after arriving in the united states. slowly but surely, they started to build a beautiful life and the american dream. melissa was raised to be a kind and brave girl ; always looking up to her parents that gave everything for their two kids. however, because her parents worked long and sometimes multiple jobs, melissa was left to be responsible for herself from a young age. she was the perfect kid all the way through high school. being one of the few latinos' to be in AP classes ; graduating top of her class.

upon graduating, she did meet rafael who went on to become scott dad. the rest of her history i am keeping canon. you can find more information about her here.
