Serenity Now

My name is Serenity! Just moved to L.A. Single Carefree and ready to live life to the fullest. Don't ask me my age. I will never tell.

Back from the dead

Serenity stepped into her home, which was just as she had left it. She sent a message to Stefan to let him know she was back at home and threw her bags in her room, she ran pass Anne's room and wondered if she was getting along okay. It was a bummer she hadn't heard back about going to Europe with her, the poor girl was probably still depressed about having her whole life taken away from her. Serenity decided enough wallowing- she would make that girl compel a room if need be.Serenity had spent way to much time with the European vampires- the ones who didn't care about being subtle or nice to humans. Humans were food to them- the lower species. Serenity went downstairs and grabbed a blood bag- the first bag she'd had all week. Granted, being in Europe they had feasted on humans night after night and had the time of thier lives- and the bag tasted stale and gross now. She threw the bag in the trash and decided to go out to get a real bite to eat.  How she had missed the thrill of a beating heart and a warm body. Tonight she would have it all.

Looking for answers far from home

Today I asked around about a doppleganger. My old friends here have lived for hundreds and hundreds of years, they didn't have much information, but became a little sketchy when they heard about what i was trying to do. Of course, I swore them to secrecy. Not to many were happy when I told them I was involving myself with a wolf. Not to many know of my history, but we are all enemies with them everywhere. When a species has the power to kill you, one does not make friends.

My dearest friend, Lucinda, whom brought me back from the brink of distruction during me and Stefan's ripper phase. She told me a ledgend of a wolf who became immortal. She laughed and said it was some silly story she heard once  upon a time- the wolf became immortal but was eventaully killed by a slayer. He had lost all of his humanity and it had driven him mad. She said a doppleganger is born with magical blood that will seal the two curses together. She had never seen one- but knew that person would be born in a special blood line. This is all story and myth anyway. There can't be a way to combine these two line. Its impossible. I mean really now. I guess I want a reason to tell Damon to shove it, I also want a reason to distance myself from Stefan. As much as I care for him. I find myself oddly jealous of Mandie. Ive been pushing these feelings to the side for sometime. Its best to not complicate things because I am insecure. Tyler is the best thing to happen to me in a long time. I haven't opened up to him about my feelings yet, but if this spell he has in mind works, I have a feeling I can let go.

Text To Serenity

[violetvervain]

Serenity smiled, but still unsure of what she should do. If he was willing to do whatever it took to be withher, she had to be sure before she tore away from Damon and Stefan. She couldn’t bear the thought of them hating her, but Tyler was the first person to ever understand her. The first person in over one hundred years she could be with.  She typed back quickly and short.

I will do whatever you need to help.

[playboyalpha-blog]

One thing you might be able to help with…I need to find a doppelganger…it’s someone in the current day that has/had a double of them.

[violetvervain]

Serenity turned her phone back on after the plane landed.

Doppleganger? She would have to do a bit of research with some old friends, she what she could find about one. She had never met one, but had some ideas.

"I'm in Paris visiting an old friend. I will ask him if he has heard of one around these parts.

Trip To Europe (Serenity to all her text/phone contacts)

On the plane to Europe to visit a few old friends. Be back in a few days. Don't have to much fun!

Ser sent out the mass message and sat back in her seat. She was so happy to get away clear her head, figure out what she needed to do and what she was going to do.

  Serenity felt something jump inside. If he was immortal that would solve most of the problems. Damon aside.

She typed back quickly.

“Thats the best news ive heard all week. Is it safe?”

[playboyalpha-blog]

Safe for me as far as I know.

He responded, continuing to leave out the not so pleasant parts. He wasn’t sure how to deal with those yet. 

I love you and I’m willing to do whatever it takes. 

[violetvervain]

Serenity smiled, but still unsure of what she should do. If he was willing to do whatever it took to be withher, she had to be sure before she tore away from Damon and Stefan.

He frowned a little, happy that she hadn’t left yet, but not wanting her to go.

I have some good news. I found a spell that can make me immortal.

He left out the specifics, not sure she’d be okay with it.

Text To Serenity

Hey where are you?

Tyler typed the message quickly and sent it, eager to tell her what he’d found out.

[violetvervain]

Serenity tried not to smile when she read the message. She was still in town, trying to convince Anne to come with her, so she didn't feel so guilty.

"Im still in town. At home. Whats up?"

She didnt want to sound eager or pathetic, just here.

[violetvervain]

Text To Anne

"I'm wanting to go visit some friends in Europe for a few days? Want to come with me? Meet some others like us? Learn some new things?"

Serenity sent the message from her car, she had to leave town but didn't want Anne wandering around by herself. Lord knows Damon wouldnt watch her.

Time for Apologies (Melinda/Stefan/Serenity)

[violetvervain]

“I’m sure about her. I know what she is but, there is something different about her. We can trust her. Her father on the other hand? I think he would kill us the first chance he got. He’s a hot headed drunken fool.” Stefan leaned against Serenity’s car. Preparing himself for what she was about to tell him. With her there was no telling what it is. When she mentioned that she killed someone Stefan’s eyes went wide and he instantly looked up at the house. He did not see any sign of Melinda spying but, just in case, he grabbed Serenity and threw her in the passenger side of her car and jumped in the drivers seat. He turned the radio up just in case. “Who!? Serenity.. How could you be so careless?! Tell me who it was now!” Stefan was doing his best to keep his anger in check…

Serenity gasped as he threw her in the car.

"It was Fiona" Serenity started to breakdown. "I didn't mean to, she attacked me, I was just trying to get her off me and I threw her into the wall. Tyler helped me clean up and get out of there."

Serenity grabbed Stefan's hand "Please don't be upset. It was an accident I swear."

Tyler had warned her not to  say anything, now she was really worried Stefan would never forgive her.

Serenity looked around, scared that Melinda would just appear.

[stefansalvatore85-deactivated20]

Stefan shrugged. “I am OK as I can be I guess. I still hurt. Melinda and  I are on the same page. Damon? I’ll deal with that later.” Stefan kept his arms wrapped around Serenity. He rested his chin on the top of her head. “You know you don’t have to do that. You can always hide out here. But, hell, who knows. I may leave with you.” He looked down into her eyes. She was holding something back from him. “What is it Serenity. You know you can’t keep anything from me. You never have been able to.”

[violetvervain]

Serenity bit her lip

Are you sure about Melinda/ I mean shes always been a sweet girl, but shes a slayer, she was born to kill us. Your welcome to come along...Im gonna hit up some of our European vampire friends."

 She stepped back as he asked her what was wrong. Was she ready to tell him? Both of them had killed a fair share of humans throughout the years.

"Um...I;m just a little worried you won't understand. I- I did something on accident a while back. Something really bad.Its the reason why Tyler and I have gotten so close. I-" She couldn't get the words to leave her mouth. Stefan had her sworn to stop drinking and lay low during that time. She had broken her promise and had been careless.

"I killed someone."

[preppyandfierce]

Time for Apologies (Melinda/Stefan/Serenity)

[stefansalvatore85-deactivated20]

Stefan was relieved. It was good they were on the same page. “Melinda. You look horrible. I have food, clothes, a shower. Anything you need. Just help yourself. Serenity’s room is upstairs 3rd door on the left. She has plenty of clothes and her own bath. Feel free. I need to get some air.” Stefan got up and walked outside and when he got there he noticed Serenity sitting in her car. When their eyes met he smiled slightly and was at her car in an instant. He opened her door and pulled her out of it. He placed both hands lightly on her cheeks and kissed her on her forehead. “Serenity. I’m sorry about earlier. Are you OK?” Stefan wrapped his friend in his arms tightly.

[violetvervain]

Serenity  grabbed Stefan and pulled him close.

"I'm fine. I guess I just have disaster attraction written all over my forehead." She laughed, trying to make a light joke.

"How about you? You feel okay. With everything that happened with...you know Damon and Melinda..." She smiled, trying to dance around the subject of Mandie.

"I'm gonna be leaving town for a few days. I need to clear my head and get my priorities straight. I'm gonna leave tomorrow after work, thought I would give you the heads up in case you needed me."

Serenity suddenly lost her courage to tell him about Fiona and her part in it. Not with Melinda so close by.

Making Decisions Tyler/Serenity

[playboyalpha-blog]

He could feel her pain, slicing through him like a knife, making what he already felt hurt even worse. He didn’t want to let her go. Didn’t want to hurt her like this. He’d promised he wouldn’t hurt her, break her heart. But he had to protect her and keep her safe. It was the best he could offer her, considering the circumstances. How could she think she put herself in danger? If she hadn’t been with him, she would have never been in that danger. He was being selfish if he kept her around.

“Serenity, I just can’t take any chances with you. For now it’s best that I keep my distance. You are going to stay young and beautiful forever, I won’t. I’m obviously not safe to be around and your safety is my top priority. I love you. And I’m not going to chance hurting you just to be with you. If I find a way, when I find a way, I will come back to you.”

[violetvervain]

"I- understand. but please don't blame yourself. I'm a magnet for trouble I guess." She sat back from the table and pulled her hand out of his before standing up and moving to the other side of the booth where he sat. When he said his last words she smiled and put her hand on his cheek.

"I know you will. And I will be waiting here. You are the only person who understands me and makes me feel safe." She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, suddenly wanting to be at home, away from people and with her bottle of Jack. She refused to cry though.

"I better go then, oh I forgot to tell you. I'm gonna be leaving town for a few days. Clear my head. I guess I just realized I just fuckin killed the slayers mother last month and I need to figure out what I'm going to do."

Making Decisions Tyler/Serenity

[playboyalpha-blog]

He could tell she wasn’t being completely honest with him, trying to play it off in her own little way. It was adorable how she always tried to hide her emotions, pretend they weren’t right there on her shoulder for the world to see. Like he couldn’t sense them coming off of her in waves, confusion, and forced happiness.

When her voice broke, he couldn’t take it anymore. Leaning over the table, he pressed his lips to hers gently, sweetly, and pulled back, trying to find the words he needed. “I know, Serenity. You don’t have to say it. I meant it when I said I loved you. I do. I’ve never felt this way before. Like it’s just right.”

Pausing, he sighed and shook his head. He didn’t want to do this. Didn’t want to hurt her in anyway. But if shit was rolling down hill, he couldn’t have her be in the way of it. He grasped her hands a little tighter, looking into her eyes, “But baby, I can’t ever hurt you. Ever. To know that I almost hurt you…killed you. I couldn’t ever live with myself.  I promised to protect you. And that’s what I’m going to do.”

“I can’t be with you. I’m sorry. You’ll be fine. Better off. Without me.”

[violetvervain]

Serenity felt her heart drop. He had to be the first one to say it. Even though she knew this was where they were headed, it still didn't feel right. 

"You don't put me in danger Tyler- I'm just a danger to myself. Its kinda my thing..." From the way he talked- it sounded like he was cutting her out of his life all the way. Something she did not want. She couldn't even bring herself to tell him she loved him, it made everything hurt so much worse.

"Can- can we still be friends? I was hoping we wouldn't have to cut all ties."

Making Decisions Tyler/Serenity

[playboyalpha-blog]

“No I won’t be taking any chances what so ever from now on,” he agreed, nodding his head and thankful that she didn’t seem to be judging him. But it still didn’t help what he knew he had to do.

He let a small smile play over his face, wondering just how upset those brothers were. He hadn’t meant to get them involved, almost get her hurt. If he ever laid a claw on her, he’d…

“I’m sure they aren’t happy…what did Damon say?” he asked, not sure he would be happy about her answer.

[violetvervain]

Serenity shrugged "Oh, he said it was you or them...but don't worry about him. Hes just really pissed. I think he will calm down after a bit. Believe it or not. He has a worse temper than Stefan." She laughed, but it was a little forced. She thought Damon would calm, but she knew he held grudges. Both the brothers did. She looked at him again. Things were.... awkward. She could feel the tension between them. Why was she denying the inevitable? This day would come sooner or later

"Tyler -I...." she tried to find the words inside. Nothing came out. She didn't want to say anything, as much as she wanted to.

"You know I want to be here for you right? to help you the way you helped me? I never want to let you down or hurt you or...." Her voice broke.

[violetvervain]

He was happy to see her smiling as he walked over to him, moved his hands to let her hold them. Normally, he wasn’t such a submissive guy but right now he just wasn’t feeling up to the game. Being with Serenity brought back the calmness in him, made him feel like he could just be himself, not put on any of the dominance and cocky attitude if he didn’t want to. He gave her hands a small squeeze and shook his head, “Best I can be I guess. It’s been a rough day. Got all the pack stuff sorted through I believe but it’s going to be hard to turn it all around.”

He paused, pulling his eyebrows together and looking up at her, “Just to clarify, as I’m sure you’ve guessed, I am alpha. I have to lead my pack the right way and I feel like I’ve failed them.”

Serenity took a deep breath. "I figured as much. You seemed like the alpha type.: She sighed and tried to change the subject. She still held a stigma toward Alphas. "But it will be okay. We can make sure this never happens again. Dont take any chances."

She tried to make him smile, she looked so stressed about something. She hated to bear bad news.

"But Damon and Stefan are pretty pissed. I have yet to talk to them, but Damon...he...he is really mad at me for dragging them into this."

Making Decisions Tyler/Serenity

Tyler drove leisurely to the diner Monday after school, not looking forward to the talk he would be having with Serenity. He was pretty set on what he needed to do, what he needed to say to her. She probably wouldn’t be happy with him, he wasn’t happy with himself. But he couldn’t risk hurting her, ever, and he wasn’t sure of any other way for things to pan out.

He pulled his mustang into the parking lot and let out a sigh before getting out and walking inside. Trying to stand tall, he walked over to a booth separate from the others, remembering the times he would see Dakota. He was sure the wolf in him recognized the older man as a threat, always being there under the surface even when Tyler was human. Last time he was here, it hadn’t gone well with Dakota. Still, he felt awful for being the one to end his life, even if he had no control over it.

He saw down, eyes wandering over to where Serenity was working and waiting for her, hands in his lap. He watched her every move, unsure if he’d see her again after this

[violetvervain]

Serenity waved a small goodbye to Marcus who was up in the office working on tax stuff. He grunted a goodbye. Everyone was pitching in to cover Dakotas shifts. It was a gloomy and dark day in the diner. She saw Tyler and walked over to the booth, smiling. Yet the look on his face wasn't happy. She knew he must be torn up about Dakota's death. That is why she wanted to be there for him. She wanted to be there to help clean up the mess the way he had. She had to tell him about Damon's ultimatum, and when she was sure he was going to be okay, she was going to leave L.A. She sat in the seat across from him and reached across the table to grab his hands. 

"How are you doing?" she asked. All the fear and hate she had when he was a wolf has disappeared the second that night had ended.
