Breaking Down
Pacing the apartment Chris couldn't take anymore of this feeling of being on edge she had enough of the shit life had thrown her way lately and standing here in the apartment alone she was losing it. Thoughts of home drifted in and out of her mind as she kicked the table knocking over a nearby lamp they kept by there couch. Not meaning to break it but as the glass shattered on the floor she felt herself slipping away.
Out of Character Post
So sorry folks real life got in the way for a bit but hopefully now I will be able to get on more than I have anybody want to start a plot let me know! I'm gonna catch up on posting today! (OOC post)
Vociemail Mel/Chris
"Hey...seen your jeep last night but not you.. was wondering if your ok?" she laughed lightly at how worried she must sound. "Well I'll see you in a bit I guess." Chris hung up as she tried not to sounded so worried she knew she had failed.
Home alone
After waking up the next morning still in her costume Chris frowned as she got up she hadn't heard from Melinda at all last night. She was sure that was her jeep at the party starting to feel a bit panicky Chris called hoping Mel picked up. Chewing on her lip until it started to slightly bleed Chris sighed as she left her a message. Mustering up the courage feeling aggravated that she was acting so much like a worry wart Chris threw off her dress and headed to the shower.
Party time (Open) Josie/Chris
She shook her head, glad her friend was okay. Things were really getting rough in this area, supernatural creatures and now muggings? What the hell? But she got worried about her frend, that she was alone in the woods with all this crazy shit going on. Giving her a serious look, she let her blue eyes trail to the brunette’s eyes, “Listen, Chris, there is some crazy shit going on in this town. You need to be careful. Don’t go out after dark or alone with weird dudes. It’s just not fucking safe. I can’t say much, but just be careful. ” She tried to show the seriousness in her face without giving away her reasoning.
“I mean, ya know, LA is a dangerous place and I’ve seen way too much crazy shit happening the past few days. Trust me.”
Scrunching her brows together listening to the warning Josie was giving her she wondered what the she meant by couldn't say much. Shaking away the doubt as the alcohol was starting to work. Chris knew Josie couldn't know anything about the attack. "Yeah it is really strange sometimes." She bit her lip as she though about the missing girls on campus that disappear every so often, the recent murder of Melinda and Mandie's mom, but surely that couldn't have been related to her own encounter. Sighing as she ran her hands through her hair he mumbled more to herself "Too bad I can't remember what the guy looked like or I'd have went to the police."
Looking around the party it was really starting to take its toll on her the crowd of people the feeling of not fitting in. Something seemed to quake in the back of her mind this uneasiness.
Party time (Open) Josie/Chris
“I’m sorry, there’s shit everywhere,” Josie laughed, trying to talk over the loud music and apologize, “You probably don’t want one of the guys and you can’t take the other with you, it’s kinda complicated.” She laughed to herself, Tate was pretty much stuck there for now until she could find a way to get him out. And she couldn’t imagine Matt being Chris’s type.
“Oh thanks, you’re outfit is cool too. I thought about doing the princess thing but I didn’t have time to go get a dress,” she let out an exasperated sigh to address the party, “I really didn’t mean for it to end up being this big but ya know, shit happens.” Noticing the worried expression on her friend’s face, she wanted to know what was up, “Hey, are you okay?”
Laughing at Josie's comment about the men in her life Chris just smiled. "Yeah I'm ok its just been a fucked up a week." Chris rubbed her neck absent mindly as she looked around the party seeing all the costumes. "This normally isn't my style but I don't know I just had to have it." chewing on her lip she wondered whether or not to mention the attack to Josie. She wasn't really one to share but the more she thought about it the more she didn't want anyone else getting hurt.
"I went for a ride a few days ago and a short hike some guy tried to mug me. So if you go in the woods just becareful. " she said nervously as she chewed on her lip the alcohol starting to kick in. "Weird right? Some jerk walking around the woods." She leaned up against the table still frustrated she could remember what he had looked like.
Party time (Open) Josie/Chris
Noticing Chris having some drinks by herself, she wandered over to where she stood, drink in hand. She was getting somewhat of a headache but she wasn’t sure if she was all the alcohol or the loud fucking music. She stepped on a balloon, causing a loud pop and jumping at the sound and feel of it. God she was on edge tonight. Happy to be having some female company, she gave Chris a smile, “Hey there! I’m so glad you are here, these men are driving me nuts.”
Stifling a scream as the balloon popped she closed her eyes and whinced. When she opened them she saw Josie she forced a smile feeling relieved although still not comfortable in the house. "Hey you scared the shit of out me." She said as she tried to laugh it off she couldn't shake the feeling of wrongness here. "I could use a distraction let me know if you want me to take one off your hands?." She said with a wink to show she was joking although she thought it had been awhile since she had meet anyone worth her time. Ok well she never had meet anyone worth a few dates.
"You look awesome this party is serious!" She smiled at Josie glad to have some company she was feeling strange tonight. More paranoid than usual with everything that had been going on lately.
Party time (Open)
After the cab ride over Chris paid her fare and headed inside. Damn this party is crazy huge she thought as she looked around at the people crowding the house filled with people in costumes. Chris began to feel extremely self conscious in her choice of costume. Inwardly cursing herself for the choice as she noted all the sexy costumes she felt ridiculous. The music mixed all the people had her on edge. She didnt know what was making her feel so uneasy as she tried to calm her nerves. Nothing a drink won't cure hopefully chewing on her lip she tried to make her way to the kitchen for some alcohol.
After looking around for a few minutes she found some cups and mixed her a coke with just alittle liquor she found an almost empty bottle on a table. She sighed as she took her first sip for the night. She surveyed her surrounding looking for someone to talk to as she finished her drink more quickly than intended.
Outfit for the party. Pretty pretty princess :)
Getting ready for the party
Sighing as Chris ran her fingers through her hair fluffing it up a bit she decided to wear it down in loose curls. She fiddled nervously with the dress she had picked up the day before at the thrift store. " I can't believe I'm wearing this" she mumbled out loud to an empty apartment as she gave herself one last look in the mirror. It wasn't your average costume , it wasn't short or sexy but the moment she seen in on the rack she fell in love with it.
Second guessing her choice she knew she wouldn't ever have any other reason to wear the dress so might as well get some use out of it she thought. Leaving Melinda a note on the table Chris called a cab instead of taking the bike figuring it would be such a pain to maneuver herself around on it. She headed outside to wait on the cab feeling self conscious and over paranoid after the encounter with that dick who tried to mug her. Angry she couldn't remember what the fool had looked like and once again she was left sulking. She debated over just staying home tonight but the thought of being all alone was too depressing.
What LA feels like sometimes
West coast diner the day after the attack (open)
After getting dressed in a simple black top and leggings Chris figured she would head out to the diner to grab a bite before class. Not wanting to bother Mel especially after last night she already felt insecure and like a baby. She headed out walking onto the busy sidewalk not ready to get back on her bike just yet she figured she would need the exercise since she was skipping the gym today. She walked in a daze until she realized she was already at the diner she headed in.
Finding an empty booth near the window in the back she took her seat as she stared out as the passers by. She was people watching not something she did very often trying to figure out why she was so different? Why she was almost never comfortable around people. Why she wasn’t happy. While indulging in some self pity she stared out the window until someone came by to the her order. Barely noticing the waitress until she had cleared her throat “Oh sorry Im..I’ll just have a coffee.” She said as she looked back outside. So much for food she thought as her appetite suddenly disappeared she sighed to herself lost in her thoughts.
Party Time Josh/Damon/Mandie/Matthew/Chris/McKenna
Hey guys! Having a costume party at my big ass creepy house! Bring a friend, keep it small. 6pm Saturday night!

Dream (The morning after the attack)
Chris was running through her old house barefeet hitting the hardwood floor as she searched for a place to hide. She felt like someone was chasing her but no one was in sight as she slid underneath the old table cloth that covered the table she didn't hear anything. Trying to keep from breathing so hard her heart was still racing as this scene couldn't make any since. Why the hell am at home she thought as her stomach clinched with the word home. This overwhelming fear washed over her as she climbed out from under the table. She looked around the kitchen seeing the sink with dishes in it, paint chipping at the corners of the kitchen she couldn't get this feeling of wrongness to go away.
Stepping into the living area she seen the back of his recline and it rocked forward just alittle. Her stomach dropped and the instinct to flee was overwhelming as she saw the back of his head slowly began to rise she knew it was too late to run.
She woke up screaming drenched in sweat. "What the fuck what that about". She thought as she angrily kicked the covers off her and headed to the shower. Confused she hadn't thought much about home since she left. LA was home now and Melinda was her family as she lathered up her hair in the shower her thoughts kept coming back to her step father why was she so scared of him in her dream? Why was she even thinking of him anyway. Quickly rinsing off and getting out she wrapped a towel around herself as she look in the mirror. What a fucked up mess life had been lately. Seeing a text from Josie she replied and got dressed figuring she might as well get a bite to eat before class.
Patrol (Melinda/Stefan/Chris)
Melinda waited another heartbeat before she came out from behind the trees. She didn’t care how many questions Chris had, she was going to help her. Mel hurried to her side, stopping far enough back that she wouldn’t be inadvertently hit. “Chris! What happened to you?” She asked, barely managing to tuck the stake in her hand into one of her cargo pockets before her friend turned towards her.
Chris looked at Mel as she tried to piece together the strangeness that had just happened she grabbed her and hugged her. Chris wasn't ever a really touchy feely person she had a hard time with showing affection and feelings but she was freaking out just slightly. "Omg Mel I'm sso sorry I'm the worst friend ever I just..." She started crying the guilt of taking off when knew she was needed had been eating at her. Once she finally let Melinda go she still stayed near her feeling completely out of sorts. She didn't understand why he left her alive or why he didn't take anything. Where did he go she wondered.
"Sssomeone was here he uh attacked me but I fought back he ran off." She scrunched her brows together as she didn't remember what her attacker had looked like. Her heart was racing and her fight and flight response was going back and forth. "What are you doing out here?" she asked trying to sort things out. "We should probably go before he comes back." sniffling as she felt like a fool breaking down like that in front of Mel who had just lost her mom.
Patrol (Melinda/Stefan/Chris)
Stefan was taking a walk through the woods to clear his head when he heard a scream. Who could possibly be walking in the woods this time of night? He decided to investigate and ran as fast as he could in the direction of the scream. Once he got there he seen another vampire feeding on a girl. She looked very familiar. He had seen her at other social events. He couldn’t have someone else in this town going around killing humans left and right. He moved as a blur to the feeding vampire. He knew he was lost in the blood lust of the feed. It was an all familiar feeling to him. He reached out and grabbed the man and threw him back against a tree hard. He was on top of him in an instant snapping his neck. Once the vampire was down he ran back to the girl and noticed she had a faint pulse when he checked her wrist. She looked up at him with so much fear in her eyes.
“It’s ok. I’m going to save you. Don’t be afraid and just drink.”
Stefan bit into his wrist and held it up to the girls lips. She struggled at first, but she started to drink his blood like a starving child. He noticed the bracelet she was wearing. It was the one Serenity had taken. This was Chris. He took the bracelet from her wrist and laid it aside and looked back into her eyes.
“You were walking through the woods and someone tried to attack you. You fought them off and they ran away. You do not remember being attacked by a vampire or me saving your life.”
Stefan stood up and searched the woods just in case someone else was out there. He saw a broken branch laying on the ground and he picked it up and broke it in half to make a wooden stake. He walked back to the unknown vampire and drove it through his heart. Stefan looked around one more time, sighed, and ran at full speed back home.
Melinda heard the scream and raced towards it. She stopped short when she realized someone had beat her to it. She quickly ducked behind a tree as she watched the man first dispatch the vampire and then…heal Chris?
Chris! She had just about stepped out into the open when she realized he was not harming her. She forced herself to stay where she was and watch, her bright red hair pulled back in a dark bandana. The man looked oddly familiar somehow and she was sure if she saw him again she would recognize him. She couldn’t help but smile softly as the…vampire staked the fallen vampire.
Things were getting a little too odd for the night but she forced herself to remain still until she could check on her best friend.
Chris just nodded as Stefan compelled her to forget the incident as she stood there in a daze while Stefan disappeared. When she came too she looked around nervously wait what just happened she thought as scrunched up her face. Omg! That man! Attacked someone was chasing her and she fought him yes she had gotten away. She was still in the woods which ment he was still here as well as the panic started to set back in she wasn't sure if she should scream or take of running again. Not even noticing her bracelet was missing in the state of panic she tried to pull it together to figure out her next move.
