That night Fenrir and Hermione stayed home while Leilani went to the town center. She was curious about the comet. Lei had her hands stuffed in her leather jacket pockets walking through the crowd. Occasionally someone would greet her, so she'd smile and wave. Lei smiled to herself as she thought about the peace they found in this dimension. Not knowing that peace is about to be interrupted then destroyed. Lei had heard what happened to Vicky Donovan, and was concerned for this town. Her time as an Auror taught her that there's more to the story. She was told Vicky was attacked by an animal during a party out in the woods not too far from her home. Having already explored part of the woods, she found there were no wild animals that would come that close to humans.

Leilani stood in the crowd watching everybody gather with candles and wait for the comet to pass. The comet was nothing special, the tail, however, had left a trail of residual magic that could be felt on Earth. Lei would guess the townsfolk will be affected by it for a bit. She got bored and decided to go into the Mystic Grill for some fries and something to drink. When she entered the Grill there was hardly anyone there. Lei went and sat down at the bar a few stools away from a man around her age with black hair, icy blue eyes, leather jacket over a black tee-shirt. She didn't pay attention to him, she was more interested in her fries.

If she did pay attention, she would've seen him look at her in curiosity, wondering who exactly she is. The man was Damon Salvatore, Stefan's older brother. He had come back to his hometown to annoy his little brother, and hopefully, find the woman who turned him. He and his brother were turned into vampires in 1864 by Katherin Pierce. Shortly after that, the founding families had captured and trapped all of the vampires in town inside a tomb under the church. Since the brothers were still in transition they were not imprisoned. So, after 146 years, Damon is back with the intention of opening the tomb and getting Katherin back. Although, a small part of him doubts she was ever in that tomb.

Lei was almost done eating her fries when one of her students, Caroline, came into the Grill and sat down at a table. Leilani paid her bill and went to say hi to Caroline. As she was walking up she noticed the guy from the bar was talking to her. But something didn't seem right. Lei noticed the guy wasn't breaking eye contact and Caroline's voice was monotone. Hearing the last thing Caroline said before she stood up to leave, Lei stepped in their path. "Caroline? Are you alright?" Leilani asked with a concerned expression. Caroline had a smile on her face but her eyes looked blank, almost like she was under the Imperius Curse. "I'm fine Miss Evans," Caroline answered robotically. Lei narrowed her eyes, "No you're not. Come on, sit down." Damon gripped Caroline's arm roughly, keeping her still, "She said she's fine."

He looked Lei directly in the eyes, she watched his pupils dilate as he spoke, "You will let us leave and not remember seeing us." Damon tries to push past Lei but she wouldn't budge, "I don't think so. She will not go with you." Lei wasn't going to let this man walk out with Caroline. Damon was shocked and confused that Leilani wasn't compelled before he schooled his features. Lei could see he was getting irritated with her but she wasn't going to stand down.
