"This is a terrible plan, what is wrong with you? I know you can do better. There must be secrets in that hero hair. Now share with the class, brother."
he’s not quite sure what’s happened. all he knows is that one moment he’s on his feet, and the next, he’s on his back, the point of the white oak ash dagger against his chest. he catches stefan’s hand, staying the blade. “ you can’t dagger me. you will die; the blade is cursed. “ what has gotten into him, he’s not sure, but appealing to his humanity may not work, so he appeals to one thing almost every vampire clings to: a firm commitment to self preservation.
Hayley stood in the large hallway, paperwork in one hand, Hopes small palm in the other. She’s just spent the last thirty minutes touring the Salvatore school with Hope seeing what they had to offer and if her little girl liked it. She and Klaus had discussed sending Hope to school and after much debate they knew this was the only place they’d be comfortable leaving her for several hours at a time without a family member at her side. The gentle tug at her hand pulled her from her thoughts and when her daughter asked if she could go look at some books. Hayley of course smiled and nodded her head before watching her daughter run off toward some books.
She let out a soft sigh and stepped forward when she spotted Stefan. It had been quite some time since the last time she’d seen him, in the back of Marcel’s trunk heading to help Klaus. “Hey there,” she offered, tone light. “I didn’t realize you’d be here. I thought we were meeting with Rick.” she explained with a small smile.
{ text ; Stefan } I love the 'in spite of' encouragement. It truly does make me feel like such a better person. But, I guess I can hang my fears on that. Although I think that with you and the twins, things are a fraction different, wouldn't you say?
{ text ; Stefan } I just keep wondering about what will happen if she does ever fully find out.
