MONSTER, stefan salvatore [2]

Home

"Alright," he sighed, obviously feeling a mix of disappointment and embarrassment. There wasn't a reason for him not to want her to fall back in love with him, that was what he always counted on. They were the loves of each other's lives. Turns out, that while she was the love of his, he wasn't the love of hers.

"I hate to break up this lover's spat, but I have a bit of an agreement with one of you that I would very much like to go through with," a familiar voice spoke up, leaning against another tree with a smirk on his face. 

Natalie smiled a little bit at him as she saw him. "Yeah, good to see you too, Enzo. But, I'm pretty sure I have no agreements with you. So, what I'm wondering is since when do you two know anything about each other?"

He couldn't help but chuckle at her confusion. Of course, they weren't best friends or anything, but they've met. "It's a bit dull on the other side. It was fun to stand together and laugh at how stupid you all were."

"Lovely," she responded dryly. 

"Now, if you'd excuse us, we have business to get to." Enzo looked at Silas expectantly. Natalie narrowed her eyes, wondering what kind of business Enzo had that would involve Silas, especially because most business involving Silas goes horribly wrong.

"We stick together as one."

Natalie couldn't help but groan as her own voice echoed through her mind, causing the two dead men to look at her worriedly. Silas grabbed a hold of her upper arm, and when he frowned at her, he looked almost too much like Stefan. "Hey, you okay?"

She hesitated, not sure if she should tell them about the fact that there weren't just voices, there was a pain whenever she heard it. "Yeah, I'm... good. What kind of business do you have? And if you tell me it's secret I'll kill your already dead asses."

"Don't worry, gorgeous. We're only looking for ways to get all of us out of here before the other side falls apart completely. I'm sure you wouldn't be took against that, would you?" Enzo smirked, ignoring Silas's raised eyebrows at him calling her gorgeous. 

She couldn't help but smile at that, wanting more than anything for her and the people she loved to get home alive. "Well, go! I want to get out of here too. I've already survived two of those things trying to suck us out of oblivion. And imagine how hard that is while you're having voices in your head and hallucinating your previous lives. I can handle myself. And I also have someone very dear to me that I have to find."

While Silas rolled his eyes at her words, Enzo decided to actually speak. "We don't need to hear about you wanting to make out with Stefan all the time, you know."

"As much as I love seeing Stefan, I'm not talking about him. I'm thinking that it's time for a father-daughter reunion." Natalie smiled.

The Mystic Grill

Natalie wasn't sure where Alaric had decided to spend the rest of his dead life, but if she could guess it might have been his favorite place in Mystic Falls, AKA the place where he got drunk a lot. Sometimes she wondered if he had a problem. 

She couldn't afford to think about her father's possible drinking problem, seeing as dead people couldn't actually drink. Unfortunately, once she entered the Grill, she couldn't see her father anywhere. Instead she found a blonde-brunet duo. 

"Seriously? This is what I have to look forward to when I come back to life? All-you-can-eat potato skins?" the blonde girl asked the brunet boy with a smile, looking at a plate of potato skins.

"Lexi? Stefan?" Natalie asked as she saw the two familiar people over there. Where she knew Stefan from should be pretty obvious. Lexi, on the other hand, she had less of a connection with, mostly because she had never had a proper conversation with her. She had a brief greeting with her back at the night of her high school graduation, and that was their whole relationship.
