Something was wrong. Something was VERY wrong. But Derek couldn’t figure out exactly what. He didn’t feel right. He felt..younger? He looked younger. The years certainly weren’t kind to him, at least in his mind. His stubbled beard had shifted to something much more manageable and he didn’t feel so tired, so stressed. And yet, nothing had changed. Right?…nothing had changed. 

He’d woken in the woods, which wasn’t exactly the normal. Last night wasn’t a full moon, he was positive. So it wasn’t like he’d just wolfed out and ghosted for the night. He didn’t seem to have any injuries. So a pretty hefty whack to the head was out of the question. Magic was really the only other logical explanation. He was in an unfamiliar town, with unfamiliar faces. And he certainly didn’t look like he had 24 hours before. 

Walking down the crowded sidewalk, his hand darted out and he caught the arm of the first person he spotted walking back. “What year is this? Where are we?”

[lamiaflava]

The blonde was very much over the confusion of not only herself but everyone around her. Nobody seemed to have any answers, everyone she just asked was hopeless. She figured she’d just have to accept whatever it was that was going on until she could find some kind of answer from someone she actually knew. Though she couldn’t seem to get away from the confusion of it all as a dark haired male approached her. He smelled like a wet dog so she could only assume he was a wolf and she snarled slightly before tilting her head to the side when he asked what year it was and where they were. ‘’2009 and Mystic Falls.’’ she shrugged. ‘’Your guess is as good as mine.’’

Mildred knew something wasn’t right. It was 2009 again and she was in college. She had already been through college though and she had already become a teacher. She had been working at Cackle’s in the art room when she had felt the sudden shift. She turned around and noticed her cousin asleep on the couch and knew that they weren’t in England anymore. She grabbed her jacket and rushed outside of the apartment and looked around frantically. “Constance? Amelia!” she was calling out people’s names and she suddenly shut her mouth, knowing she was making a scene. “I don’t know what’s happening but I hate this!” she thought panicked as she looked around.

[lamiaflava]

The blonde was suddenly coming to realise that it wasn’t just her that was confused.Though some people seemed a lot less confused than others did. Her attention was quick to move over to a young girl who seemed to be calling out several girls names, her brows coming together. She could feel the panic coming from the female she was quick to rush over to the girl. Over the years she seemed to soften more rather than be as aggressive and cold  as she used to be. ‘’I don’t believe screaming is going to help your situation.’’ she shrugged tilting her head slightly as she studied the female. ‘’May I ask why you’re screaming in the street?’’

Hettie was frantic now as she ran out of the classroom she had landed in. She had already been expelled from the school that had meant everything to her. She had transferred to Pentangles and now she wasn’t even in that school anymore. She was in a normal school with normal people. Not that she didn’t mind normal people, but she wanted to be somewhere where there were witches like herself. She started running, tears blinding her eyes. She didn’t know where she was going, but she was going to figure this out.

[lamiaflava]

Rosalie was still trying to find the rest of her family, she’d tried so many places and yet she never thought to look at the school. The facade her family put up for many years was that her siblings and herself were students at the school. Rushing around and yet still nothing. Though she was quickly interrupted when she bashed into a young female who seemed to have tears within her eyes. Instinctively Rosalie’s features turned soft as she reached out to touch the young girl. ‘’Is everything okay? do you need help with something?’’

          Confusion. It was such a low-key, subtle word to use to describe Damon’s state of mind at this very moment in time. But it was the one word that was written all over his face as well as evident in both his facial expressions and body language alike. Not more than roughly twenty-four hours prior to the moment he had woken up, he was comfortably rested in bed beside Elena and dozing off to dwell on yesteryear in his dreams. Upon waking up, he found himself waking up in his own bed, alone, and his bedroom held no evidence or sight of Elena’s belongings in it whatsoever. He was in the comfort of his own bedroom located in the familiarity of he and his brother’s humble abode in the form of Salvatore Mansion. But that was not where he had rested his head and fell asleep in last night. If anything, yesterday’s dreams now felt real. If anything,  Damon didn’t even bother putting a shirt on earlier when he’d woken up seeing as his mind wasn’t quite in the mood to care whatsoever.

          On the contrary, Damon was slowly starting to come to the realization that something wasn’t right the moment he’d seen himself in the reflection of the bathroom mirror and noticed his physique. While he thankfully didn’t have any kids with Elena, he often complained that in his human form, he was developing a ‘dad bod’ of sorts. Now? His rather athletic build and modest six-pack abs were back and in full display. Certainly nothing he would complain about in the least, but there’s no way that a good nights sleep would have burned off that many calories. That would have been impossible. Not only that, but upon opening the doors to his armoire and sorting through his clothes? Not a single pair of basic blue jeans or plaid shirts were in sight. As black as his heart once was, his wardrobe matched that same aesthetic. All black everything. Such a sight was enough to bring a faint smirk to his lips and the comfort of knowing that he would finally be able to embrace his true style once again.

          Although he was still trying to make sense of everything and not at all aware of how or why he was thrust back into yesteryear? Damon wasn’t one to dwell on it for longer than he had to. It happened. There was nothing he could do to fix it. But for damned sure he’d ask around and try to get some answers should he come in contact with any familiar faces along the way. For the time being however, with an outfit chosen that he felt comfortable in and his car now parked in an easy to spot parking space, Damon would opt to walk around town square idly. Having no real purpose to be out and about other than the possibility that he might spot a familiar face should he be easy to find. But at the same time, having his own agenda and excuses as to why he was out in the open that all pertained to people watching and observation. Not knowing exactly what year he was in or what day for that matter, but trying to find any relative clues that would lead him on the right path without having to engage in social interaction.

    Rebekah had been filled with nothing but confusion; had she bumped her head? could she get a concussion? so many questions moved through her mind, as did many flashbacks from the year of 2009. Being awoke by Klaus from her deep slumber. Stefan not remembering her and being completely in love with someone else. It was all things she was over but the mere thought of them still made her turn her nose up. Mystic falls had changed. Or perhaps it had stayed the same? perhaps her whole life had been a lie? at this point she didn’t know anymore. Wandering around to try and make some more sense out of things but it wasn’t helping. The school had disappeared; so what did that mean for Hope? where was she? was she safe? was she in danger? perhaps she was behind this whole thing. She wouldn’t know until she found her.

          Getting no answers to anything Rebekah had hit a stump. Letting out a sigh as she stopped trying to process her thoughts. Marcel crossed them; they’d been together before this had happened, whatever this was. Where was he now? was he okay? her concern for those she cared about only grew the more she thought. But why 2009; what was so specific about this year that had forced someone to push her back here? had she done something? was this a form of torture where she had to relive her life AGAIN? because it was only just becoming somewhat normal. Even if that was never going to be a possibility anymore since she’d decided that she wasn’t going to take the cure and remain a vampire. But it wasn’t common knowledge yet. Sure she still wanted a family but it didn’t mean she had to give up what she’d known for over a thousand years.

        Rebekah noticed herself spacing out and she suddenly came back to at the sound of a car stopping. Her attention immediately moving over toward it. It was very familiar and she tried to think whom it belonged to but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. That was until her eyes landed on a familiar dark haired Salvatore brother, who seemed very well off considering he was now supposed to be human. She tilted her head for a moment watching him; he seemed as confused as she was perhaps she wasn’t the only one brought back here. She was quick to move over to him stopping him in his path. ‘‘I always manage to bump into a Salvatore the minute I step foot in this town. Damon.’‘

Confusion. Panic. Fear. The emotions were ones that he knew well, ones he understood more than most - but with each person he passed the feelings became more and more intense. It was almost as though something had happened within the town - something big. And one thing was clear to the vampire.

He needed to find Alice. 

“Move.” Jaspers voice was blunt, cold towards the other as they block one anothers paths, his concern for his love over-riding all formal human courtesies. 

[lamiaflava]

Rosalie was on the hunt to find her family. There was only one way she was going to figure out what was going on and that was with them. And even if not at least it made her feel more at ease. As her brothers cold voice filled her ears the blonde sighed. ‘’Jasper, it’s me.’’  her voice was slightly soft as she reached out to touch her brothers arm.  ‘’Just breathe. You don’t know how glad I am to see you.’’ 

[vcmpirebarbie]

Caroline had woken in her childhood bedroom, the shock of nostalgia hitting her. The brightness of the morning and the strange ache in her shoulder as she stretched, trying to get to her senses. Everything seemed…groggy. It was only under the ray of sunlight bursting through the curtains on her  skin that made the blonde hesitate, looking at her sun soaked skin before noticing the lack of ring on her finger. Out of instinct she flinched, looking down at her unburnt skin in shock. She wasn’t burning…why wasn’t she burning? Where was her ring? 

Her hand immediately reached to her chest, grasping desperately at her bare skin where her necklace always sat, her rings, her tie to Stefan gone. 

What was happening? 

Suddenly slower and very aware of how out of breath she was the blonde ran down the steps of her old home, desperately running down the street, dressed in just only her nightgown, skin prickling at the feeling of the cold air on her shoulders and wincing at the feeling of rough paths scratching at her bare feet . This wasn’t possible, it couldn’t be possible. “Oh my god…oh my god…” her eyes were wide, panic striking through the blonde. 

[lamiaflava]

Rebekah wasn’t all too sure of what was happening.  One minute she was enjoying life and the next? she was back in Mystic Falls. The surroundings felt too familiar but yet not familiar in the sense of a recent trip. Familiar as in the town used to look like this but changed over time. It was confusing she knew that much. Though it wasn’t just her in the area who seemed confused and that relieved her slightly. The last thing she needed was to be stuck in Mystic Falls with no clue of what was going on around her alone. After finding out the year, confusion only filled the original further. Was Kol here? was Freya here? Hope? she was raking her brain trying to think of how this could have happened. Of course she never really knew how most things had happened in her life but they were usually the result of a witch. She sighed her eyes scanning around trying to find someone familiar. Her eyes were quick to land on another blonde. Taking her a moment to realise that it was in fact Caroline. Rebekah frowned slightly rushing over to the other blonde who seemed panicked in that moment. ‘’Caroline?’’ Rebekah questioned. Something seemed different about her, almost more drawing. It didn’t take her long to put a finger on the fact the female had a heart beat, causing a lot more further confusion. ‘’You’re human’’ she stated in shock. ‘’What the hell  is going on here.’’ 

[ecullen-gotthatbde]

2009. How in the hell did he get back to 2009? He couldn’t exactly remember what he was doing back then, but he was more than damn sure that he wasn’t in that little town doing …whatever it is people there did. Had he hit his head? He was more than positive that vampires couldn’t get concussions, at least based on the amount of whacks to the domes he’d previously taken. It was kind of something he’d have known. And yet the people he’d asked and the calendars for sale back in the little general store had definitely said 2009. Leading to a general feeling of ‘wtf’.

He lifted his hands up to rest on the back of his neck and continued to move through the crowd, careful not to bowl anyone down though honestly he wasn’t in the mood to pretend he cared about their feelings. Not that he was a total dickhead. In fact, he liked to believe that he was usually one of the nicer members of his family. Kinda. Sorta. The family that he was clearly separated from.

Stepping out of the mix of people, he turned into a narrow alleyway and leaned against the wall, bending down and resting his hands on his knees. “What the fuck…” The words were growled out lowly and only then did he actually catch the sound of someone lingering near the entrance to the alley. Shaking his head, he spoke without looking up. “I’m really not in the mood for company. I’m fine. Keep walking.”

[lamiaflava]

Rosalie didn’t know how she’d gotten here. Everything was so different from what she knew. Not wanting to sound crazy she didn’t want to ask anyone what year it was so instead wandered around aimlessly. That was until she noticed a news stand stating the date and the year; more confusion filling her face. 2009? she narrowed her eyes as she looked around. Someone clearly had to be messing with her. This couldn’t be real. Right? The only people she knew to try and find where her family and even then she wasn’t sure she would even find them. It wasn’t often Rosalie panicked but this caused sheer panic to move through her.She wandered aimlessly, trying to listen trying to find someone; something familiar. The one person she was more concerned about over everyone was Emmett; where was he? was he okay? was he as confused as her? She let out a sigh as she began to get more frustrated at the whole situation. It wasn’t until she heard a growl of familiar words that her features calmed slightly rushing to the source. For a moment she stood back from the entrance, she had to be sure it was him. She wasn’t in a position to make herself vulnerable even with all the abilities she had. She wasn’t sure what was here; wherever here was. A smile laced her lips as the other spoke again confirming that it was in fact her love.’’Emmett?’’ she wasn’t sure if he’d even know who she was but if there was one person that could make her feel at ease with this whole situation it would be him.
