        Burning a vampire body in the trees a few miles past Rock Creek was risky, he knew. But he couldn’t leave a beheaded body with fangs in an alley downtown either. Cursing under his breath when the snap of a branch indicated he was no longer alone Asa forced his best charming smile onto his face. “Not exactly a public bonfire, I’m afraid.”

    The moment she stepped into the Tipsy Vixen she realized she had made a grave error. Perhaps it was her own paranoia and that was what she would try to tell herself until proven otherwise, but she was immediately unsettled. Were a few of the gazes as she shut the door behind her lingering too long? Did some of the people invading the town like she had a few weeks ago recognize her? She hoped that they didn’t care either way... because Sam was dead as far as she knew. Without him to torment she was... nobody.

      Pursing her lips while fighting the instinct to turn and run, Jess held her chin high and walked calmly to the bar. Ordering a whiskey sour and a few shots for some extra courage, she decided she wouldn’t be deterred from a break from her clientele at Twisted Bull. A few free drinks from her regulars was nice, but she was interested in the fact that this bar had a shuffleboard table. Were people interested or did people assume a previous owner got the idea from a retirement home? The quiet rumbling of voices made it hard to eavesdrop on anyone that wasn’t too close to her.

       Throwing back one of her shots, she tried to keep her demeanor as collected as possible, though it would be easy for anything nonhuman to hear how fast her heart was beating. “Pretty busy for a Tuesday.”

                                               the  tipsy  vixen  was  quiet  around  this  time ,  hours  before  the  crowds  set  in  to  start  all  the  fun .  while  he  enjoyed  the  amusement ,  it  was  the  quietness  and  the  slow  time  of  day  that  he  enjoyed  the  most .  he  wouldn’t  dare  be  caught  around  during  the  later  evening  fun .  not  without  a  cause .   his  gaze  remained  downward  as  he  looked  at  the  newspaper  before  him ,  a  pint  of  beer  resting  in  front  and  towards  the  right .    if  anyone  was  sitting  next  to  him ,  he  was  ignoring  them .  after  all ,  he  was  somewhat  closed  of  towards  beings  that  he  didn’t  know .  especially  in  this  new  place . a  place  he  was  just  settling  in  with  the  rest  of  the  strix .  still  though ,  one  can  only  be  curious  as  to  why  so  many  different  beings  seemed to  crowd  this  place .  tristan  continued  reading  until  his  eyes  glanced  up  and  over  towards  the  tv  screen .

                the  mother  of  demons  wore  an  effervescent  smirk  across  red - painted  lips . just  walking  through  the  streets  of  devil  hills , she  could  smell  the  impending  doom . lilith  hadn’t  returned  to  earth  very  long  ago , but  in  her  short  time  topside , she  had  managed  to  stir  up  some  commotion  among  the  creatures  of  hell . in  order  to  live  in  anonymity , lilith  entered  the  town  under  a  pseudonym , claimed  a  meat  suit , and  put  together  a  semblance  of  a  normal  life : hellhounds  dogs ,  a  white  picket  fence ,  a  home  ,  a  typical  suburban  car , it  almost  made  her  sick . 

                but  now  more  than  ever , appearances  were  everything , lilith  couldn’t  be caught  dead  in  anything  less  than  designer  clothes . the  original  demon  strutted  out  of  the  sunflower  grove  mall , red - bottoms  clicking  against  the  pavement , sunglasses  snug  against  the  bridge  of  her  nose , and  long  arms  lined  with  shopping  bags . without  realizing  her  helpless  persona  was  truly  taking  over , the  demon  paused , watching  as  the  bag  on  the  edge  slid  of  her  hand , dropping  at  the  feet  of  another .  ❝ my  apologies . ❞  she  choked  the  words  out , offering  them  a  skittish  smile .

     It didn’t take long for Leah to realize she was in far over her head by coming here. Certainly, she wouldn’t be able to put a dent in the obvious monster problem in the town without help. Yet, she had completely kept to herself since her arrival, fishing on the pond at Rock Creek and eating her dad’s recipe for fish fry or getting takeout from one of the various restaurants around. The forest surrounding Devil Hills was comforting, but she also couldn’t help but miss the ocean and cliffs that she constituted home, despite not having been there for a few months.

       Hearing the approach of another and realizing that she was no longer alone, Leah cast her line back out into the small pond and popped another piece of crispy fish into her mouth. “If you’re hungry you could catch a few? And maybe I would consider making you a batch back at my cabin. I’m pretty ravenous myself.” It didn’t phase Leah that she would come off as rude since there was a large plate of the fried fish sitting on the dock rail beside where she was standing. Truthfully, it was unlikely that she would pass on the opportunity to let her dad’s genius spice blend grace the tastebuds of someone new... but she was going to make them work for it.

     katherine had spent all day shopping -- after all, it was one of her favorite things to do. she’d tried on a little black dress, one that did a fantastic job of showing off her figure & while it was cute, katherine wasn’t certain she liked it. as she stood in the mirror, spinning from time to time, trying to decide if it was really her -- she noticed another person approaching. “do me a favor -- tell me what you think of this dress,” allowing the other to take in the appearance of the dress. “yay or nay?”

     for anyone that knew her, it was no surprise that she’d be out in the woods wandering around. it wasn’t the bayou, but it still put her at ease & gave her that sense of home. she needed that now more than ever, especially considering she had yet to find niklaus, hope, or any of the mikaelson’s for that matter. it was getting late & as the sun began to set, she still didn’t bother heading back -- continuing to trek further & further into the wilderness. it wasn’t until she heard another approaching that she came to an abrupt & sudden halt.

     spinning around on her heel, the hybrid’s eyes lifted to land upon another person. “there a reason you’re creepily following me around? or do you always just randomly wander the woods this late?” arms crossing over her chest, the brunette stared the other down -- not letting her defenses down until she knew this person wasn’t a threat.

     jane was angry & frustrated. as much as she adored aro & the other members of the volturi, she couldn’t help but have mixed feelings about being sent here alone. they knew her & how out of control she could be at times -- surely they had to have known she’d crumble under the pressure at some point. surely it wasn’t a surprise that she lost control -- allowing herself to succumb to the power she housed within her, bringing a complete stranger to their knees in complete agony. having realized what she’d done, the vampire fled the scene -- hurrying away from her victim & damn near colliding with another person. “my apologies -- that man back there’s screaming for who knows what & i’ll admit, it’s a bit terrifying.”
