what can i do you for

Hunter watched the female, and despite the whole time they had been apart and why, he couldn’t help but keep a smile on his face. As she spoke about the cloaking, he nodded his head. It was something he would do as soon as possible. The idea of her family turning up to destroy all her plans and hopes sat heavy on Hunter’s soul. “No… if they thought it would help, they would do it… but I wouldn’t let them get to you..” he admitted.

“I know that… and I would have taken a whole lot of torture before telling them anything I knew… plus I can handle wolves… magic is a wonderful thing if you’re in a precarious situation..” he teased. As she continued, he looked around others in the hospital before back to the female and nodded. “Yeah… perhaps you can tell me what’s going on with this town… it seems like I missed something big..” he questioned - of course he was happy to not be called up in something big with his kids.

.

Kay was more than a little touched by the words, and didn’t bother pointing out that she’d never want Hunter to put himself between her family and her - that wasn’t going to lead to anything good, only him getting hurt.  “I wouldn’t be surprised if they did business with witches anyway, anything to get them ahead.”  There was very little that she’d put past the Doyle family when it came to something they wanted.

“Don’t even joke about that,” she sniffled, rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand.  “Do you know what it’d do to me to find out they ever did that to you?”  With his agreement she got up, offering her arm.  “You’re not going to believe me, but to make a long story short the town was invaded by mythical creatures.  Like medusas and someone said something about bigfoot, and like...everything you’ve ever heard of.”

Hunter shook his head at the other. There was no way Jake was going to get to Kayleigh any more. “I took care of that…” he started. “I put a cloaking spell over us…” he admitted to the female, “And I can put one on you if that’s what you want… it will stop them finding you though magic..” he stated though Hunter wasn’t too sure how likely her family was to use magic. As he saw her lips smile even slightly, his body relaxed.

“You think I was worried about me… I was worried about you… I’m glad you got out… but I just wish I didn’t have to be in the dark about it..” he admitted. “They would have to be desperate to come to me for anything… they don’t exactly have a high opinion of me… and even if they did, they know I wouldn’t give anything up about you…” he pointed out. Their eyes meeting made his lips curve into a smile. “It’s good to see you…”

.

She was about to ask what he meant when he explained that he’d used a cloaking spell, and that brought an immediate measure of relief to the worries she harbored.  The last thing she’d ever want, even aside from her own safety being threatened, was to see Hunter or the kids’ well-being in jeopardy because he’d come looking for her.  “It couldn’t hurt,” she admitted after a moment.  “I don’t know if they’re in business with any witches these days, but it’s not like it’d surprise me at this point.  Nothing they could do would surprise me at this point.”

She shook her head, a bit of wonderment in her eyes.  “I was worried about you.  Anyone who’d ever known me, but especially someone like you who knew me well.  You know they wouldn’t be above torture if they thought it’d wring my location out of you.”  His not knowing it wouldn’t have been enough to save him if that had happened.  “Do you want to get out of here?  I’m not hurt, and I think I’m just wasting time waiting for them to clear me.  We can get a coffee, if the coffee shop’s still standing...otherwise I can make you one at home.”

Hunter watched the female and smiled softly at her allowing her to adjust to seeing him. he remained quiet for a moment before noticing how uneasy she felt. He frowned at her before looking around and back at her. “I’m alone… other than the kids..” he admitted to the other. “Do you think I would risk anyone of those finding you..” he questioned honestly almost upset at the fact she didn’t know him better. “I came looking for you, Kay…. I needed to know you were safe… that he  hadn’t done something to hurt you…” he admitted to the other with a small smile.

.

Taking a few shallow breaths, she tried her best to calm the irregular beat of her heart as she studied his face.  “I don’t know,” she admitted, shaking her head.  “I know you wouldn’t on purpose but I know they’re smart and they’d take any chance they had to bring me home.”  Kayleigh studied him for a moment, the slightest of smiles finally tugging at her lips.

“No, he didn’t hurt me.  I planned for months, but I couldn’t exactly tell you I was going to vanish.  It was safer, you were safer, if you honestly didn’t know anything.  That way no one could come to you looking for me.”  Her eyes met his, and some genuine relief shone through in them.  “It’s good to see you.”

“Don’t let them push you around.”

"That's a nice thought," Kayleigh sighed. "But there's not really anything I can do about it, you know? I was going to be stuck in the family business forever if I didn't run away, and I can't exactly stand up to them. With the Guerrera's gone they've got way, way too much power to say no to. It's just safer for me to stay right here in Mystic Falls and hope they don't come looking."

Smoke

Nothing that wasn't prescribed to me, no. Drugs were never really my thing, but I don't judge anyone who does enjoy them!

[kayleighdoyle]

“There is more to the story.”

Kayleigh studied the other woman's face, nerves jangling. Hayley was entirely too smart, and her usual cover story apparently hadn't been quite enough to fool her. Leaning closer, she looked around and lowered her voice to a whisper. "I'm in...let's call it witness protection. There's people who'd like to know where I am who I'd rather not find out - it's better for my health if they don't know." Kay looked into Hayley's eyes. "And I'm only telling you that much because I don't think you're the type to give me up."

[kayleighdoyle]

Safety - What is the most traumatic experience in your life?

"I mean, it's a tough call, but I think maybe - just maybe - the time that a couple of a crime family's thugs held me at gunpoint and made me kill someone to trigger my curse against my will. That one's right up there, you know?"

“Oh I’m sorry, I’ve been a bit paranoid lately” she shook her head and ran her fingers through her hair, she didn’t mean to make the other female feel as though she was some sort of stalker. “Are you alright? did I scare you or make you nervous?”

.

“Been there and done that,” Kayleigh nodded.  “It’s alright, I promise - it’s easy to feel like someone’s following you, and it’s not a good feeling at all.”  She shook head, offering the other woman a smile.  “No, I’m fine, I promise.  You don’t strike me as the type to be following me around town, so I’m not worried about it.  If you want I can just walk beside you, so neither of us is following each other?”

“is there a reason that you are following me?” Aleaha questioned before turning around to look at the stranger, she knew she had been keeping it quiet on who she was, so she knew there was no way for the person following her to know who she truly is.

.

“We’re just going the same direction, I think,” Kayleigh gestured.  “The town’s not that big, there’s only so many ways to go.”  She was the last person on Earth who’d follow anyone, not wanting to draw any more attention to herself than she could possibly help.  “I’m sorry if I made you nervous, though.”

Gabe glanced around towards their surroundings, attempting to seek a familiar face from the faculty, before returning his attentions back towards Kayleigh. “I could always sneak you out the back door” he teased, his words accompanied by a soft chuckle, before he continued “I get it, I’m just waiting for my sister – I probably shouldn’t be taking up another seat but the hallways are full too.” As the other offered her hand, he returned the sentiment and introduced himself. “I’m Gabe. Its good to meet you. Ah, something like that. Somehow, I haven’t even been in town all that long, but it feel’s like I’ve spent a lifetime here already.”

.

“That actually sounds like fun,” she grinned, “just take off our wristbands and slip away into the night.”  She reached over and patted his shoulder, though, as he explained what had him sitting there beside her.  “I think that’s a good enough reason to be here - hopefully she won’t be too much longer getting out, but you don’t need to feel bad for that.”  His observation pulled a snorting laugh from her.  “The last little while’s really been a lot, I’ll admit.  This is usually such a nice little town, you know?  But welcome, all the same.  I hope it calms down for you before long.”

After his time at the bar and hearing the events that he had narrowly missed, he assumed looking for Kayleigh everywhere possible was the best course of action. Of course it could be that he was chasing false information. As he wandered into the hospital the amount of people was more than he had seen in a hospital in a long while. Hearing the females voice and catching her face,

As she was concentrated on talking to the nurse, Hunter slipped into the seat next to Kayleigh. Finally he felt a relief and that he was able to find her and she was safe. As she turned to him and spoke, he figured she hadn’t yet realised who he was. “Well perhaps I can join you…” He questioned.

.

The sound of his voice stopped Kay’s heart in her chest, and for a moment she was sure it wasn’t going to start again.  There wasn’t supposed to be anyone she knew in town, that was why she was in Mystic Falls.  She’d gone long enough without being caught that the thought of her failure was almost too much to bear.  “Hunter,” the voice was a whisper, drowned out by the hums and beeps of the machines around them.

“Tell me you’re here alone.  They didn’t come after you, they didn’t follow you, none of that.  I came nine hundred miles to make sure that didn’t happen, so how did you even end up in this place?”  It wasn’t as if Mystic Falls was a prime tourist destination, and people usually didn’t just wander through.

Kai ponders it for a moment and nods his head, “That’s fair enough I guess.” He could see where that train of thought would come from. “But what kind of person takes animal parts?” He asks curious now wondering if he did indeed fall under that category or not. “I don’t know if I could these as animals…I did see a number of them talking. That doesn’t ring out as an animal type of behavior to me but maybe that’s just me.” He holds a bloody hand to his chest and gives a shrug. “If you’re so curious as why I’m taking monster parts its for…science, sorta. Plus I mean its kinda cool, having the claws or feather of a griffon?”

.

“Serial killers, generally,” Kayleigh offered lightly, not actually believing the man was one of those.  He did make a good point, though, and she had to stop and consider it.  “That’s actually true.  But if they’re not human and they’re not animal do we just call them monster parts?  Because I’m not sure if that’s any better.”  The sorta that he added after the word science didn’t comfort her much, but she was starting to get the sense that she shouldn’t push it.  “I mean...if they were cleaned off and on display or something maybe, but when you’re just cutting them off and putting them straight into jars that feels more icky somehow.”

[kayleighdoyle]

hereticparker​:

Kai wasn’t an idiot, these creatures where ever they had been, however they had been hiding he knew that the magical properties of them should be rather important. So while others wanted to simply brush the night off he wanted to take some things for collection. With jars out, knife in hand he carved into the monster bodies that seemed rounded up and piled likely for burning to get rid of, carefully removing the eyes from a body covered in snake like hair he plopped them into a blacked out jar still unsure just how much they would work without the whole being alive thing. Claws here taken, horns, venom from fangs, in the end of it all Kai was covered in goo, gunk and blood. Turning to find someone coming up to him he offers a small wave and smile, “I know what you’re thinking; is this classified as dumpster diving or grave robbing?” He chuckles a little, “Personally I am leaning more towards dumpster diving, cause I don’t think anyone is planning on making little graves for any of them.”

Kayleigh had seen a few things in her time, but there was nothing that gave her context for walking up on someone removing parts of dead monsters and sticking them in...jars?  “Actually what I was thinking was “what the hell is he doing, and why is he doing it?”  Because I really can’t think of a good reason that anyone would be doing that.  There’s only one kind of person I know who collects animal parts, and I don’t think you’re probably that kind of person.”  Although truthfully it wasn’t as if she knew anything about the man in front of her.

Gabe was attempting to respect the woman’s privacy, but there was such an overflow of the injured in the hospital that everybody was more or less on top of one another in the waiting room. The wolf sank further down in his seat, waiting for word on his relatives before he was willing to leave but he couldn’t help but return his attentions towards the young woman as she addressed him. “Oh, uh – I think they’re just covering all bases in attempts to lessen the law suit they’re probably gonna be facing.” He was attempting to joke with her, but there was more truth in his statement than he would perhaps like. How the hell the hospital were going to explain this was beyond him. “Are you waiting for someone? I have a uh, friend who works here - I can get her to check.”

.

Kayleigh smiled, appreciating the attempt at levity in what were pretty terrible circumstances.  “I...actually I’m not sure why I’m still here.  They talked about checking me out so they could clear me to leave, but then they just moved me to the ER.  And everyone in here needs help way more than me, so I’m just kind of waiting until it makes sense to bother someone, you know?”  She pushed a hand through her hair and offered the stranger a smile.  “I appreciate the offer, though, thank you.”  Reaching over, she offered a hand and a smile.  “Kayleigh.  Another fun night in Mystic Falls, huh?”

Victor stared blankly at the young woman, the joke about mentally ill wasn’t something he was going to chuckle at, there were plenty of moments in time when he could have lost his mind. Some points were living life as a wolf full time did very much make him lose parts of himself that were only healed when he could spend time with his children on the full moon. He lets out a sigh at the mention of it being big, he much rather have a simple fight, rip its throat out and get back to his wife. “Alright.” He wasn’t going to leave it for someone else to worry about as he allowed his claws to grow out and his eyes shine gold there was a crash as a wall was brought down by a large figure burst through half of it body looked human, the other…well he could say it was ugly and it did have large club like claws. “Fuck.” He mutters under his breath, this was going to be a pain in his ass.

.

Her comment clearly hadn’t landed the way she meant it, and she decided the best thing she could do at that point was to shut up.  She watched as her companion bared his claws and then whipped around fast enough to make her neck creak as the wall crashed down and something came through.  With Kayleigh’s anxiety already on overdrive it was hard to think, but she knew that she couldn’t let the man fight alone either.  Not fighting for someone had already given her the greatest regrets she had, and it was too hard to think about making them worse.  “Come on,” she cried, waving her hands.  If she could draw it forward toward herself, hopefully it would expose the flank of it to the wolf that waited.

[kayleighdoyle]

“No, I would not like to see the doctor,” Kayleigh insisted for the fourth time.  The hospital was doing its best to help those injured in the attack, but it there were two good reasons she didn’t need the assistance.  She could hardly use her insurance, not when it would give her family an immediate way to find where she’d gone, and she was going to heal up in a few moments anyway.  “Now can you please go and help one of the people who was actually injured?  There’s some guy in the ER with his foot gnawed on, I think he needs it more than I do.”  The nurse grumbled and turned away, heading off in the direction Kay had pointed.

She turned to the person next to her and shook her head.  “I think I better get out of here before they change their mind and try and drag me back down the hall, you know?”

cfsinderella​:

The second the parents had got away with the young kids, a couple of bullets leaving the barrel of her gun and entering the creature causing it to stumble backwards a couple of steps before she shot one more bullet into the creatures chest causing for it to fall to the ground. The feeling of another nearby pulled her attention, her gun lowering before she replaced it to the holster and moved to the brunette, offering a hand out to the girl. “You okay,” Tara questioned.

.

Kayleigh watched with no small amount of awe as the woman finished off the monster with one more round, leaving it a bloody mess on the hospital floor.  That thought almost conjured up a laugh, something that tended to happen when she was anxious, but she managed to swallow the urge.  “Okay feels kind of relative,” she clasped the woman’s hand and pulled herself to her feet with a wince.  “But I’m pretty sure my back’s going to heal up, even if I hate losing this shirt.  That was pretty badass, I’ve gotta say.”
