“You think after waking up from a dirt nap there would be a bit more celebration around here.” He scoffed as he walked through downtown Orleans. He was still stretching out the kinks and coming back to his own body, he hadn’t felt like himself in a while and the control over his own body again wasn’t something he believed all that much. But yet he was trying to remember every inch of the city he once loved. 

    “ it’s new orleans. i’m coming to learn there’s lots of celebrations around here all the time. especially when the sun goes down. take your pick. ” elena muses friendly, casually. no harshness to her words. “ have a good nap, though? those are the best. ” she smiles at him them, head tilting slightly in curiosity.

“Have you ever wondered where exactly you stand in the grand scheme of things?” she sighed.

    “ of course. ” elena nods, smile small but reassuring. “ i’m pretty sure everyone has. ”

Sean grabs the woman’s shoulders just as she grabs his own, glad he hadn’t knocked her down, it was bad enough that he had as much attention on his as he did, “Geez, I’m sorry. I-I…” He looks back at the elder group before swallowing, “I should watch where I’m going.” He finally finishes looking back to her. “They have their reasons and I can’t blame them for it.” He releases her and fixes the cap on his head, “Again, sorry about that.” He starts walking away to get away from the whispering going on behind him. Hearing pieces, ‘Looks like him’, ‘yes that crazy one’, ‘Sean wasn’t it?’, ‘Those poor boys’, he shakes his head trying to ignore it.

    “ it was my fault-- hey, look, it’s okay. ” the guy was obvious troubled. nervous. she didn’t have to be a doctor to see that. “ okay. but from my view you’re blaming yourself. for something. ” elena straightens obvious concern in doe eyes. elena decides to walk with him until he’d be to safety, or somewhere peaceful. looking over her shoulder she shoots them a scold before stuffing her hands into her pockets and allowing him to lead. letting him go wherever he was comfortable. she tries to change the subject for his sake. “ i’m elena. what’s your name? ”

Damon’s vibrant blue eyes stayed on Elena as she concentrated on the sling, leaning into her touch as she cupped his cheek he smiled a lazy smile when her eyes met his own. “This is going to get in the way of a lot you know.” Damon replies, “Cooking, the bar, sex. Such an inconvenience.” He feigned a dramatic sigh. A small hum of content is emitted from his chest as he kisses her back, teeth capturing his lesser lip as he watched her walk off. While Elena was off doing whatever it was she was doing, Damon looked at the cast wondering just how he was going to do everyday things with this thing in his way. He didn’t have to be a vampire to know Elena was close to him, her presence brought a sense peace – happiness even, his mood would always lift when she was around, even when he was in the angriest of moods. Looking up to her, his smile widened as he saw she was in her comfort clothes, soon straddling him. “Have I ever told you how sexy you are even when you’re in sweats?” He smirked, making note that not a lot of women could pull that off.  “And what is it?” Damon took the bottle as he looked at the tiny pills, “This is a very… different thing to me.” He chuckles. “And what’s a comminuted fracture, Dr. Gilbert?” The eldest Salvatore jested with a smirk.

    “ no you haven’t told me. ” she lies casually ( and he knows she is ), teasing him. her smirk giving it away however. beaming at the compliment-- or whenever he spoke to her, really. she gravitates to him. she always had like a burning star until one day they finally collided. and it was beautiful. “ i can cook, ” elena finally replies. though she wasn’t as near as good as him. “ i can help out at the bar. ” she offers softly, laughing quietly at his words. “ i guess i’ll have to take the wheel for awhile. ” she hums, smirk softening into a smug smile. his smirk makes her soft however and dimples appear, eyes attempting to convey seriousness as she switches into doctor mode. “ oxycodone with some  acetaminophen to help with the swelling. ” elena nods in agreement. “ very human. ” she adds. as he calls her doctor elena feels a small swell of pride at the title. “ it’s when the bone is fractured in two places vs one clean split. ” a soft sigh and playfulness remains however elenas lips purse, scolding him lovingly. “ you-- we have to be careful now. ” she murmurs to him leaning in to press her forehead softly to his. “ okay? ” her tone drops to a gentle meaningful whisper.

wooden bullets were becoming scarce. his gun needed to be re-loaded but doing so in the middle of the street would only make him vulnerable to any vampire that crossed paths with him. they were swifter, stronger and rabid. it seemed the darkness only made them more furious. tom had never in his life come across a vampire and now it seemed fate was making up for all the years he missed without seeing one. they weren’t what one saw on television and movies. they weren’t nosferatu. no, they looked just like any other human being but they lacked one thing – a heartbeat. their senses were heightened and more enhanced then the average human. undead. he remembered the hunter’s words precisely. 

he found a relatively quiet and empty spot, he figured it would only take him a few seconds to placed in the line of bullets into his gun then return to the hunt. well, he probably spoke too soon because as soon as he had finished, many footsteps rang and echoed in the distance. tom prepared his gun instinctively, pointing it forward and waiting for the vampires to turn his way. however, he caught sight of an individual that was fighting them off. rather in fear, he watched in admiration as she fought each of them one by one. maybe the hunters had trained him but he could never amount to that level of mastery. 

once the girl stood by his side, he shot her a dumbfounded look. stefan? tom was informed he was a doppelganger by the hunters who recognized his face. he was told the story of how it all came to be and knew of amara but did not know what she looked like. “i – yeah.” he nodded back, unlocking his gun before aiming it at the vampires. he aimed at one of the vampire’s heart, shooting them dead. “here.” he tossed her his spare weapon.

      fingers find the gun mid-air, adrenaline pumping and mind sprinting far ahead of her human actions. she didn’t miss being a vampire except for moments like this. when it could be used to protect her friends-- her family. three shots fire when finger curls around the trigger, the last vampire hitting the ground with a abrupt thud. she wondered where stefan had found the weapons. jeremy, maybe? elena grounds herself the night air cool on her skin. getting chased by vampires seemed to becoming more and more normal for her. unfortunately. turning to him elena gives a relieved exhale before she takes no hesitation in embracing him. elena holds him close to her, hugging him tightly, lovingly. “ i was so worried about you stefan. the blackout. and when i heard-- you were here, ” eyes squeeze closed. it was as if they hadn’t just been chased by vampires. the concept seemingly normalized for her. “ me and damon have missed you so much. ” elena drops the gun the metal clicking against the cold pavement. she cherished the here and now. being in a magic induced coma taught her that. “ thank you for him. ” however she realizes just how stiff he seems to be. pulling back slightly, hands still grasping him, she looks up to him. “ stefan? ”

“You almost hit my girls so next time watch where you’re throwing that damn thing.” Tossing the football to the group of teenagers, Caroline had turned away making her way back to the twins. After everything that had happened she felt drain and wanted to spend her time with her girls in hopes to have one normal day. 

    elena laughed at caroline’s general snapping. it was familiar. comforting. she makes her way over to the girls first, bending down and engulfing the two in a loving hug. elena is all laughter with the girls, happy to of finally being able to spend time with them after her coma. she’d missed so much. “ i think you scared them, caroline. ” standing up with a soft smile her arms find her best friends form, hugging just as tight. things were gloomy and tense around nola but elena was trying to stay positive not only for herself but all of them. “ i’m sorry about the other day... ” she murmurs while hugging her, referring to the moments of darkness that fell over the city. a city that wasn’t theirs. “ i had to find damon. ” she expresses pulling away. “ why don’t we go bake cookies at my place? ” elena suggests, seeing and sensing caroline clearly needed a break. she was sure lizzie and josie needed one too. “ or whatver you want, care. ” smile softens further stepping away slightly.

    elena’s fingers ever so gently securing his sling, careful not to hurt him, but also tying it tight enough to heal properly. after it’s secured to her liking hand sweeps upwards from his shoulder to gently cup his cheek. her brown gaze is molten, concern evident. “ damon salvatore with a broken bone... never would i think i’d be saying that. ” she teases lightly as a kiss is pressed to his lips softly. it’s a chaste kiss. simple. lovingly. her hand drops and she gets to her feet from the couch. their apartment needed decorating, to be made a home-- their home. but elena would get to it later. she heads to their laundry room quickly throwing on cozy sweats and a old t-shirt. elena ties her hair into a ponytail happy to be free from her hospital clothes. ( she didn’t have to be a vampire to smell the scent ) fishing around in her work bag she pulls out what she’s looking for and heads back to damon a grin on her lips. they were okay. their family was okay. and this comforted elena. and she knew those small moments of comfort were to be cherished. elena swiftly straddles his lap, ever so gentle not to disturb his arm that would need a few weeks to heal. from her hand she lifts a bright orange bottle and white lid. shaking the pills around they make a obvious echo as the contents dance before falling silent. “ it’s like the human version of vampire blood. ” she muses, holding the bottle out to him. it was a very human moment to say the least. “ i looked at the x-ray it’s a comminuted fracture. these should help the next few days while it heals. ”

Sean stood outside the old church looking up at the stain glass windows that he once loved, he remembered days when he would visit his uncle and just stare at  them as the sun coated the ground in color. He pulls down his baseball cap as a group of elder church goers walks past him one of the women catching his eye. She gives a shocked look and starts to whisper to the woman next to her and before he knows it they are all looking his way and he backs away from the building. “This was a mistake.” He turns quickly on his heel bumping into someone.

    religion was always a blurry line for elena. it fascinated her how it brought people together and strengthened them, but it saddened her when people used it as a excuse to be hateful. yet. here she stood. she wasn’t sure if her expression said longing or thought but either way she was taken from her trance when a taller form collided with hers. elena ( now back in her human form ) stumbles back slightly before gaining balance and reaching out to him to steady him, too. at his words eyes flicker to the group of whispering church officials before back to him, releasing her brief hold on his forearms. “ hey-- ” expression softens as heart fills with empathy. “ don’t worry about them. ” a shake of her head if offered before tucking olive palms into the pockets of her jacket. “ okay? ”

Before the chaos erupted, Damon was signing papers for a place he would soon make into a bar. Something he’s always wanted to do, and with now living in New Orleans – a very busy place, he was able to. The building that was once filled with music, cheers and lighting was DARK. It took a while for Damon’s eyes to adjust, before vibrant blues had the chance to the sounds of screams filled his ears and the strong smell of blood hit his senses hard. In a typical Damon fashion, instead of running away from a problem, he ran to it. Which led him here, a frantic, bloody and panicked mess. Trying his best to ignore the white hot pain of his arm that was most definitely broken and the fresh vampire bite on the back of his shoulder, he kept his focus on the more important things. Finding his friends and girlfriend. Eyes squinted as he saw someone familiar ahead of him and finally, he realized who it was. “Elena,” Three strides is all it took for the Salvatore to be at her side, using his good arm to find her hand. “Come on.”

     fingers loosen around the dulled piece of wood at the call of her name. she knew his voice anywhere. air which she had been holding is released in a loud exhale, however heart still continues to thunder within her chest. there’s a feeling of peace seeing damon. he’s her other half, with him, complete. fingers tangle with his and eyes search his to make sure he’s okay. there’s a lingering moment elena feels invincible holding his hand. because deep down she knows the depths they’d go to for each other. but his words pull her out of her moments of warmth, and she gives a quick nod of understanding. “ i was worried i wouldn’t find you fast enough. ” it wasn’t a matter of not finding him because the fact was: they always found a way to each other. that was proven time and time again. elena moves quickly with him allowing him to lead, the dulled wood still in her other hand. but focus is zoned in on damon now, and she quickly realizes he’s hurt from the way he holds his arm. “ damon-- ” his name is spoken gently, the two moving, dodging groups of people that were headed away too. “ you’re hurt. ” the obvious. however elena knows better than to just stop, no matter how much she wants to. she doesn’t like damon in pain. he had had too much of that in his lifetime. “ we need to find someplace so i can look at it, so we can figure out where to go... ” all of their friends were strong, could handle themselves, but together? together they were safe. eyes flutter up to the dark sky, then back to damon, eyes looking to his. she tried not to show him the fear there. but it was there. forehead creases and brows pull together, her look obviously showing concern for his injury.

Now that you're human, are kids in the future?

   “ i mean, maybe. not right now. i wouldn’t bring a kid into these times. i know damon wouldn’t either. it just wouldn’t be smart. but it’s not exactly like we’ve got this endless clock of time and i know that. i love damon though, so of course i could see a kid in our future. ” ( @thcdamned )

         being human when this happened was not fun. vampires ran after him. some of them had bitten him and had drank from him, but he had succeeded to stake them. his breath became heavier for each time he ran faster. when he stumbled over a body and fell, his eyes widened “damn” he mumbled, looking at his bloody hands. could be some of his own or the body he had stumbled over. the human looked up when he heard a voice nearby. slowly standing up on his feet, he looked around to see where the voice came from “hello?” he called out. typical horror movie sentence, but elliot was scared and he had to know that he was not alone. he could be brave in some situations. right now with this going on was he not brave. he only tried his best to survive.

    elena heard the crunch of glass behind her, and upon turning, the figure charged for her. elena’s body tensed before colliding with the body, blunt wooden stake colliding with her chest and into her heart. adrenaline rushes, and ears pick up the word spoken from someone. she didn’t recognize the tone, then again, it was hard to with only the few seconds offered. moving around the greying vampire body elena searches among debris and fallen bodies. “ oh-- OH. ” she spots him, standing tall, taller than her. elena makes her way to him in a sprint. stopping to a halt before him. “ i’m elena. i’m a doctor. ” she explains quickly. “ i can help. we need to get to shelter. ” brown doe eyes search him for injury, and she spots it, a bite mark on his shoulder. one near his neck. swallowing she wonders if they forced their blood into his system like so many others. “ do you remember getting hurt? do you remember what they did? ” the real question underlying those being if vampires had compelled him, gave him orders, or worse.

(¸.• ♛ → “You look so nervous” She said rolling her eyes once, Katherine was always prepare but she just killed some vampires in the process, so she was covering with blood and in her hand was a stick to protect herself, she knew how to fight them even if she was human, adrenaline was part of it and the brunette was also with some vervain just to protect herself “If you die, wouldn’t be a really great loss”

    they were mirror images of each other. each holding a stick. the only difference between the two their hair. that, and when they spoke. there was a clear difference there. eyes roll in annoyance at her comment, releasing a hot huff of air. “ and you aren’t? i took you as a lot of things katherine, but stupid i didn’t think was one. ” did she have a death wish? probably. it annoyed elena further. “ go annoy one of the other doppelgangers. i’m not in the mood. i’m looking for damon. ”
