“New player?” Adam asked, his eyebrows quickly shooting down in confusion. Though, that wasn’t the only part that had triggered his obfuscation. There had also been something about having a rather entertaining week. Were Adam and Katherine still on the same page? If so, Adam was seeing a side of the brunette he hadn’t seen before. There was nothing entertaining about what Adam had seen in the past couple of days. “I- uh. My mother showed up. Which I guess isn’t really that weird, but she died of cancer a couple of months ago, so uh-. I probably just imagined the whole thing, but it was still… scary.” Adam admitted, this was the first time he had told anyone in this town about his mother.

“You haven’t heard? Probably will soon.” Katherine simply shrugged in a nonchalant fashion. While Katherine hadn’t seen anyone she cared about, she did remember that dream reality in which Nadia had been alive. She’d been a mother there, she’d never had to give her baby girl up in that reality and Katherine remembered searching for her daughter after it was all over. It had felt real, but it was evident that it had all been a lie. This was something similar, she figured. Different, but still with similar aspects. “You’ll grow used to stuff like that eventually. Nothing’s too bizarre or impossible for this town. Everything happens around here.”

Bonnie tensed under Elena’s touch, but then she was actually feeling her best friend’s warm palm brushing over her cheek, and she felt herself relax instantly. “You don’t remember anything after the darkness?” she asked her gently. It was hard not to be skeptical, given everything that she had been a witness to in the past–including a certain evil bitch in the form of Elena’s doppleganger impersonating her. Bonnie reached for the other woman’s hand, lacing their fingers together as she offered her a lopsided smile before turning towards the direction of The Mystic Grill. “Goody. We have a lot of catching up to do–and it’s amazing to be seeing you again, too, you know. I’ve really missed you.”

“It was like there was nothing after that.” Katherine shook her head, doe eyes remaining on the witch before her. She couldn’t help but wonder what Bonnie wanted to catch up on with Elena and she was all for going to the Grill with her so she could find out what those things were. Maybe she could have some more fun with that, who knew? Katherine smiled sweetly, nodding her head at Bonnie’s comment and gently pulling her along. “I’ve missed you too. All of you. I feel like I’ve missed out on a ton of stuff, so tell me everything. I want to know what you’ve been up to and if the guys in this town have stopped being blind yet because if you tell me you’re not dating anyone, I won’t believe you.”

How does it feel knowing no one will ever love you?

How does it feel knowing you will never be as fabulous as me?

Liam had learned quite a bit over the past week, the events having shaken him up a bit. He had tried to assist in the research Malia requested him to, a stranger that he had bumped in to only once before that, but he had followed along nonetheless. As well as that, he had met a kind soul named Allison, who had led him to a safer space. As well as gotten attacked and had to run from a blonde man who had attacked him, who he had yet to discover the name of. He would eventually figure out the identity of the man, Seth Adler. He had gotten trapped in a dorm room with his friend Davina, where they both discovered they didn’t know each other as well as they initially thought, and he was still hopeful the events hadn’t affected their friendship.

At that moment, however, the young college student was seated on a park bench, wearing jeans and a maroon t-shirt, arms crossed over his chest. It was most likely a stupid idea to be out at this time, almost 3 in the morning, with a full moon looming the next evening. Liam just had a lot on his mind, and figured a walk would clear his head, settling on a bench when he needed a break. He was so lost in thought that he didn’t take notice of the appearance of another, his head finally turning as the sound of footsteps close by got to him, the stranger surely curious why he was out alone at this hour.

Head turning, the young man peered up at the stranger, eyes narrowed to catch sight of them through the shadows the large trees around were casting, body rigid. “Uh, hi,” he greeted back to their initiation of conversation, curious why they would approach a stranger out in the middle of the night. Then again, why was he interacting back? “Nice night for a walk, huh,” he mused aloud, head turning to face forward, even as he kept a sidelong gaze on the figure.

It was always better to go out when it was dark to feed. During nighttime, it drew less attention to people and on top of that, Katherine enjoyed going out to have a couple of drinks at night too. Daytime wasn’t all that special most of the time anyway, so here she was, just exiting Mystic Grill and trying to decide where she wanted to go next. Despite it being three in the morning, the vampire wasn’t ready to go home quite yet, so she needed to figure out what she wanted to do. Maybe a walk through the park would spark something. There were always people around in Mystic Falls either way, no matter where you went. She expected to bump into some poor and ignorant soul sooner or later and it didn’t take long for her to spot someone sitting on a bench in the dark. He looked kind of young though, but that didn’t bother her. In fact, the younger they were, the more ignorant they tended to be. She could hear his beating heart, but she also sensed that he was a werewolf, not sure if he’d triggered his curse yet or not. Making her way over, the vampire stopped in front of the young man, staring down at him with a firm smirk plastered around her lips. “Little bit passed your bedtime, isn’t it?”

She couldn’t believe her eyes. Surely, somehow, it was all a trick of the mind. Maybe she’d somehow strengthened her powers by using them at the school, maybe even unlocked some part of herself and the thought was alarming. Seeing dead people was not a power she wanted, and she blinked hard at Elena. ‘’I– you can’t be real. You died.’’ Lydia pointed out logically, shaking her head, but she couldn’t help the way hope filled her heart and her eyes watered a little. Oh, how she wanted it to be completely real. Then maybe the guilt would go away, and she could breathe a little bit easier. 

Despite her protests, she went willing to Elena, wrapping her arms around her in a tight hug and feeling that she was solid. She wasn’t a ghost. ‘’How… how are you here? What is going on?’’

“That’s over. I’m back now.” she mumbled, her hand moving over the other girl’s back in a gesture of comfort. She had to show major restraint whenever she was around Elena’s little group of friends because it meant that she couldn’t be who she was, she couldn’t be herself and Katherine had always enjoyed being herself. Oh, well. This was worth it, wasn’t it? Getting to see their reactions? “I don’t know how it happened. I just woke up after everything was black for years. I’m just as confused about all of this as you are, trust me.”

“Tell me about it.” Adam agreed with a little sigh, cringing under the glares the girl was still sending his way. Though, seeing a familiar did untie the knot that had formed into his chest a little. A friend - if he could even call the brunette that - was exactly what he needed to keep himself distracted from his mother and the painful words that kept bouncing around in his head. “More like a bad week, actually.” Adam admitted, with a soft smile. “How about you? Nothing strange happened to you this past week, I hope.”

“Strange, no. But I did have quite some entertainment this past week. It was great. And with this new player in town, I’m guessing that’s only gonna become more entertaining.” Katherine admitted, slowly pushing herself off the tree and smoothing down the fabric of her clothes. She waved the girl that Adam had just hit off as she made her way over, wondering what strange things had happened to him. She assumed that had been the case - why else would he bring it up? “So what strange things have happened to you this past week then, mmh?”

Elena’s death was something that would always haunt Lydia. She felt guilty that she’d never been able to save her. The feelings, the premonitions she’d had, they’d come too late and she’d been left crying with the rest of her friends at the funeral. As well as grief, they’d been intense guilt and she’d carried it with her ever since the accident. It was the fuel that fired her need to learn about her banshee powers, to try and harness them. She had done so at the school, finally managing to trigger them and learn a little more. The voices in her head weren’t a punishment, they were her guide and she knew now to listen to them, if nothing else. Her thoughts swirled as she walked, on a break from work, stopping when a figure bumped her shoulder and she went to speak but instead, she was silenced. 

Elena.

Her mouth fell open and she blinked hard, doing a total double take. ‘’Elena, what–’’ She spoke quickly, then immediately shook her head, reaching up to rub at her eyes. ‘’No, no, I’m going crazy, aren’t I? You’re not real. You’re dead.’’ 

“You think I’m not real?” Katherine questioned, an incredulous stare being sent into the redhead’s direction. It made sense that Lydia thought this, but Katherine didn’t mind convincing her of something else. She’d just have to work her magic so that the banshee would believe her and think that Elena really was alive again. She’d studied Elena for so long that she basically knew everything about her that there was to know by now. She’d imitated the girl so many times by now too that she could effortlessly flip that switch whenever she felt like it. Elena was kind and sweet to people, especially to her friends, but Katherine was the complete opposite. So all she had to do was to pretend she was someone that she really wasn’t, someone completely different. “Oh, Lydia. Come here.”

Finally letting Elena go, she bent over at her waist, setting the satchels down on the ground as her palms moved up to cup her forehead. “Seeing you is like seeing a ghost–and I’ve seen plenty of those,” she explained to her should-be dead best friend in an exasperated tone. “You don’t remember anything about how you wound up back in Mystic Falls? Alive?” Bonnie had seen countless supernatural occurrences since her own magical awakening. She had watched everybody around her die and come back as vampires or werewolves, and then there had been spectacular occurrences like with Jeremy. The sound of his neck breaking still echoed in her memory. The pain that she had felt in the instant his lifeless body had crumbled at her feet had been enough to rip apart her soul, but he, too, was alive and well. Somewhere–or this is what she hoped. “Do you want to grab a bite to eat?” she blurted out, sucking in her lower lip as she scooped her satchels up. “I, for one, am famished.”

“It’s like my memory’s been wiped. I died and everything went black. And then I woke up and light hit my eyes... I don’t remember anything from after it all went black.” Katherine explained, assuming that this was how Elena would describe things, how she’d say all of this. “I’m so glad I’m back. It’s amazing to see you again, Bon.” the brunette had to muster up her sweetest smile, gently brushing her palm over the witch’s cheek. Deep down, this was the most cringe worthy thing ever, but she had to play the part if she wanted to be believable. “Are you kidding? I’m starving. I haven’t eaten in years. Literally.”

Getting to mess with Elena’s friends was hilarious if she was honest. She’d done it with Allison in the past, with Caroline and also with Bonnie. Today, another friend of hers was up - Lydia. Katherine knew who the redhead was, but she hadn’t yet had the pleasure of meeting the girl. Today was her chance though and she honestly couldn’t wait to see the look on Lydia’s face when she’d see her dead friend. The brunette wanted to go about this differently, so she pretended to be rather distressed, as if she was lost and not in her right frame of mind, which prompted her shoulder to bump into Lydia’s as she passed her by. “Oh, my god. I’m so sorry--” Katherine began, turning around after another moment and facing Lydia. She stopped dead in her tracks next, that look of distress increasing as her hazel eyes fell in line with the other woman’s. “Lydia?”

Bonnie had spent the past two hours inside The Magic Box. It was hard to explain, but she felt at home in there. The energy was different versus when she stepped outside, and she didn’t feel connected anymore. Not that she did anymore, anyway. It could be because of what Damon had done. Her magic hadn’t been enough. She hadn’t been enough, and now she had some kind of mental block that was effecting her ability to cast circles or do even the simplest spell work. She was stuck, and she needed to figure out a way to take back control of her magic before Damon came after her again, because she knew he would. He was relentless, manipulative and persistent. It was only a matter of time now. Hearing a voice, an all too familiar one, one that she would know anywhere, Bonnie swore that she was seeing a ghost. It wouldn’t be the first time. “Elena?” She could hardly stay composed as she rushed towards the brunette, even with her hands full of brown paper satchels, wrapping her up tightly in a hug that she didn’t think would ever be possible again. Her best friend had died. Bonnie had grieved her and buried her, along with Caroline. Seeing her standing here, alive and well, she couldn’t help it as she cried. “But how? How are you even talking to me right now?” she questioned her, breathing in noisily through her nose as she pulled back slightly but didn’t let Elena go with her hands gripping just below her elbows as best as she could.

She’d expected that kind of reaction. Everyone thought that Elena Gilbert was dead - and she was. But Katherine enjoyed imitating the girl way too much, using it to keep herself entertained and well, it was fun to mess with people’s lives. She wasn’t attached to anyone in this stupid town anyway, so why wouldn’t she misbehave? Katherine had never been one to play by the rules - she made her own. The last time she’d played by the rules had probably been when she was still human, five centuries ago. That was when her family had still been alive, when she still had people to care about and love. But that time had long since passed and the only one she cared about these days was herself. She didn’t let herself get attached to anyone because it was a waste of her valuable time. Instead, she opted for messing with people’s lives to keep things interesting. She wasn’t beyond murder or manipulation. Nothing was too crazy for her and hell, she’d even buried Caroline alive, which only proved that Katherine really had no boundaries. If someone got in her way, she’d find some creative and gratifying way to deal with it. The witch’s arms moved around her small frame and she could tell that Bonnie was crying because she was happy to see Elena again. This is so disgusting. Katherine had to push her way through those feelings of pure disgust, her own arms slowly making their way around Bonnie in return, actually happy when the other girl pulled back because it created more distance between the two. “I-- I don’t really know.” she shook her head, pretending to be shaken up by her so called resurrection. She figured Elena would be feeling that way if she came back to life, so she had to play the part. “I just... I was dead one day and now I’m here. I don’t know how or why.”

Bonnie Bennett. She was one of Elena’s best friends, which Katherine knew. Just like how she knew the other people who had been friends with her annoying doppelganger. And now, the brunette spotted the witch nearby and she immediately felt like messing with Bonnie the way that she’d done with some of Elena’s other friends. The vampire smoothed out the fabric of her clothes, moving her fingers through her hair to make her curls less obvious, trying to go for a more straight hairdo. Bonnie was apparently exiting the local magic shop, which made sense because she was a witch and well, witches tended to go to that place for supplies and whatnot. Katherine herself never really went inside and only moved passed the exterior when needed. Switching to Elena’s personality and appearance wasn’t all that hard for her to do, so she was preparing for that right before walking up to Bonnie with big, doe eyes. Of course, Katherine effortlessly feigned a flustered expression, but one that also conveyed that she was kind of surprised. She knew that Elena’s friends would have questions about how she was resurrected and she needed to pretend not to know how she was alive again. This is disgusting. “Bonnie? Oh, my god!”

With two fingers pressed against the artery in his neck, Adam slowed his pace. Catching up with his breath as he tried to keep up with his beating heart. It was beating faster than usual and it didn’t take Adam long to figure out why. Everywhere he turned, he feared to see his mother again - bald and boney due to all the chemotherapy she had had to endure during the last few months of her life. Following the path that would lead him out of the park, Adam started taking off his sweater. The physical effort and burning sun having overheated his body. But upon swinging the sweater over his shoulder, Adam heard another voice crying out in pain, apparantly he had flung the zipper right in their face. 

“I’m so sorry! Are you alright?”

“Well, that looked painful.” Katherine had seen Adam moving through the park as the zipper of his sweater smacked the person walking behind him right in the face. The vampire was leaning against one of the trees because she’d just had a delicious, fresh and warm lunch and now she was here, trying to see if there was anything entertaining for her to do. And now that Adam was in sight, she didn’t see why she couldn’t use him as a form of entertainment. It had been pretty fun with him before, when they’d gone swimming. She’d almost felt normal, probably because he was human, but that didn’t mean she was on her way to becoming a good person or anything - that was never gonna happen. “Bad day, Adam?”
