even though tyler hadn't liked the idea of his wife joining the faction, she had. it was helpful that she told him while making him breakfast after a wonderful night, but she could sense his fear each time he looked her way. they knew it wasn't the best idea, but also wanted to make sure they could keep the kids safe. no other demon was going to volunteer and so, while her husband was taking care of a young wolf, she attended a meeting with elena and hayley.

the murders made everyone panic and as of right now, gabbi didn't have many suspects, still trying to scope out who would have the motive to do such things. walking into the bar, the mask gave her a confidence boost, but it also made her job harder. taking a glass of champagne that was being offered on a tray, she took a deep breath and began people watching.

being supernatural in new orleans, meant that even if you hadn't actually talked to the person, you still sensed it on them. being a bringer of souls, meant that you needed to notice these differences. years later, she did her best to use that ability for good. "thanks, uhh it's mau right?" gabi tilted her head knowing that she had seen the woman at the b&b before. "i'm making bruschetta and it requires more tomatoes than i was able to grow. how weird it is that this is considered a fruit?" they quipped before placing the perfectly ripe berry in the tote with the rest of the ingredients. "you're parents are mary and nora right?" her eyebrow rose as she stood straighter.

she wanted a sense of normality. herself having tried to avoid society for too long with her recent change. the hybrid knew she had been staring at the same four walls of her apartment for too long. the farmers market had always brought her some joy. the vibrant colours, the smells and the atmosphere was always a place that brought her happiness. her eyes had been staring at the berry and she was about to grab it before she shook her head, hearing gabriela. “no, honestly you take it. i’ll be fine.” she spoke, hands slipping in her jacket pocket. “think you or your guests will enjoy it more.”

remembering the conversation with damon, made josie quickly agree to kaya's request to dance. nodding her head, she held onto the others hands and began to follow the rythm of her body. the song wasn't exactly that fun, but having had a few drinks, it felt as if the music was something she'd choose. "i'd love that!" josie replied, focusing on the other as they danced. "i heard you and hope got ready together. you both look beautiful." it was so easy to throw out compliments, when your other half was back. when nothing felt as if it was missing, josie realized that she had longed for other types of relationships. friends instead of just family or the small hellos to co-workers.

Kaya, fresh off a few shots from the bar, danced by herself to the slow, kind of boring music that floated through the air. She barely even noticed when Josie bumped into her, and she probably wouldn't have even said anything at all, just kept going about her swaying and enjoying of the music.

Instead, she grasped both of Josie's hands in hers. The two weren't exactly close, but Kaya had spent enough time around Hope that they'd hung out a few times here and there. The alcohol, however, made everyone in the room Kaya's best friend. "Do you want to dance?" she asked, cheerfully, holding both the girls hands and looking at her with a wide smile. "I mean, I know we were both already dancing, but do you want to dance, like, together?"

her eyes closed softly as he cupped her face, his touch had always settled her nerves. slowly her eyes opened and she looked into his eyes and decided to be honest, or at least a little honest. "i'm okay, just feel like a porcelain doll when i'm near anyone. sometimes it doesn't feel real with how far away you all are. even with you so close, i can tell you want to be further." eleanor sighed, placing her hands at the nape of his neck. "i don't think you are going to hurt me and i don't even think you hurt me then. i miss you, the way you felt before."

it was hard to explain all the feelings that swirled in her body. elle needed more time, but she also didn't want to be alone in it all. she wanted him near.

she had caught him red handed staring at her , but who could blame him since she looked like a goddess in that dress . locking eyes with eleanor he couldn't look away , although part of him told himself to run before he hurt her again , but while she looked like an angel . piercing blues watched as she walked over , and before his knew it he matched her movement meeting her in the middle . he smiled lightly at her words . suddenly his hand cupped her face . he sighed deeply , feeling enchanted by his love . " how have you been , elle ? " he questioned , wanting to know that she was alright .

Being back here makes me hot in the face Hot blood in my pulsing veins Heavy memories weighing on my brain Hot and heavy in the basement of your parents' place You used to be so sweet Now you're a firecracker on a crowded street Couldn't look away even if I wanted Try to walk away but I come back to the start

blossom wasn't wrong, there really weren't many safe places in new orleans. not with the murders taking place. there were however a few places where josie felt at ease, her home and the boarding school. both had protective spells surrounding the building, making it hard for anything with bad intentions to enter. "very true, but when i got my apartment i made sure to say every boundary spell i knew. so my place should be a little safer than most."

the two met in school long ago, not that josie would ever actually talk to anyone other than hope and lizzie. but she'd do her best to say hello, since she had always respected how loving josh and aiden were. "i won't keep you long, promise just wanna pick your brain on a few things."

she knew it wasn’t the best to push people away, but then again, she couldn’t really explain what was going on and why this alleyway was screaming that a death was going to happen. but then again, anything could happen to anyone with the body count going up by the day.

“yeah, I think you’re right.” the small wrinkle of her nose for a moment. “although you could debate as to where is really safe at the moment.”

"no, i had no idea so your father couldn't have known. if he did he would've come home with that crease in his brow and his eyes darting every time you make eye contact." gabriela snorted, a smirk on her lips as she thought of tylers face when he found out bad news. it didn't happen as often anymore and even when it was bad news, she'd still relish in the way he acted. honestly, they adored everything about their husband. shaking her head, she replied. "you know babygirl, i would love that but it isn't wise not right now. let me talk to your father..." trailing off, she realized that she had already given him some bad news earlier, about joining the faction. with that realization her shoulders slouch.

she was able to laugh for a moment, until screams began to fill the room. quickly, the demon placed an arm over their daughter, making sure to keep her out of the way of harm. waiters who were giving out drinks, ripped off their masks and took out their weapons. "i knew it." they muttered with gritted teeth. "alright okay give me like a few more seconds." she had a weapon, tucked in her holster near her upper thigh was a knife, the other leg had a tiny pistol. giving the firearm to kaya, she turned and gave her a stern look. "you need to cover me, i will get anyone who gets close to us. we need to just find an exit, i know your dad will find us, we just need to get out."

The demon smiled at her mom, wishing that they were back at home, relaxing on the couch without having to worry about all these people and potential threats. She longed to drop her head on her mom's shoulder and eat ice cream out of the tub with a spoon. She didn't want to have to think about her present half-demon abilities or her future werewolf potential. Unfortunately, the fear of killing someone haunted pretty much her every moment. "Does Dad know he's here? We should just rally the whole family and kick his ass." Strength in numbers, right?

Kaya turned on her bar stool to look out over at those enjoying the party. "Oh, trust me. I've tried a little bit of everything. The deviled eggs are lowkey the best thing here. Though, I'd choose your cooking over this fancy stuff anytime."

No longer a danger to herself or others She made up her mind and laced up her shoes Yelled down the hall, but nobody answered So she walked outside without an excuse She can do anything she wants to She can do whatever she wants to do She could go home, but she's not going to

of course, lizzie thought that josie and hope brought her back, the three of them made a promise the night before the merge. to find a way to bring back whomever lost the merge and never stop trying. hope and josie did their best, dove into some terrifying magic in the process, but never managed to find any light at the end of the tunnel. holding her twin tightly, she took in the others smell and touch. something she yearned for since the last time the two held hands and prepared for the worst 3 years ago. shaking her head softly, the siphoner bit her lip as tears welled once again. "no, no we didn't. we tried lizzie, but no spell could bring you back and it broke the two of us."

that was summing it up nicely, she thought as she pulled away and looked into her sisters eyes. "lizzie i am so sorry, i failed you and i'll never forgive myself for it." this should've been a happier reunion, but the last 3 years had been hell for josie. she stopped enjoying things, only talking to people when it was required to then go home, alone. she was a shell of a person and even though their parents tried hard to get her back on track, josie would always find a way to fall off again. "i've honestly been a spinster since that night." she admitted.

hearing her sisters voice, her eyes shot open and the grin spread across her lips. “i mean, you do have a point, it is why you were always the smart one.” she grinned as she watched Josie. a sense of calmness washed over Lizzie. it felt amazing to hold Josie again. pulling back ever so slightly, fingers brushed away her sister tears. “well there is only one lizzie saltzman, so of course it’s really me.” she spoke, eyes examining Josie.

“why are you so shocked I’m here?” a knot forming in her stomach, the realisation that maybe josie and hope didn’t have any part in this. “surely you knew I would be back..”

"oh i'm fine don't worry about me." she smiled brightly at the other. "i wasn't paying attention, been pretending they are playing much different songs than they are." josie admitted all this easily, something she wasn't able to do often, but with alcohol in her veins and lizzie smiling as she talked with as many people as possible, it was hard to not feel as if in a daze. "you okay? sometimes when i'm not paying attention, i can be like a bull in a china shop."

Maybe it was because he didn't like crowds - the noise affecting him - that or he was just an awkward mess but he found himself fairly uncomfortable in the sea of people. He felt that he stood out, that all eyes were on him, and it was something that hadn't really gone away as he got older. Sighing, he looked for an open corner, not realizing that he was in someone's way until they bumped into him. "Shit," he said as he quickly turned around. "Are you okay?" he asked, gently grabbing her arm so she didn't fall
