Dakota should have been shocked, but after today he just couldn't be anymore shocked.

"Serenity was there?" he said. "She was there when I died too..." He tried to keep his mind focused but any type of emotion was hard to concentrate on. He supposed it was because he was a floating soul with no body or real mind. Yet, he didn't care to think about it.

He held out his hand.

"I don't think we are suppose to be here Fiona. I think we were brought back on accident."

Ghostly Goodbyes (Dakota/ Fiona)

“Oh sweetheart,” she pouted, taking the chance to reach out and touch him after he explained. She was shocked when she could touch him, her small hand resting on his scruffy bloody face. Sighing, she leaned in to plant a small kiss on his lips before speaking, “I’m so sorry that everything has come to this. I was coming to tell you that I loved you and I wanted to run away with you. And Serenity was there…” She paused, trying to gather her thoughts again. She’d just told Marcus what she could, why was it fuzzy again?”

“She’s a vampire. I wanted to make sure you were safe too, we would have been if I could have gotten there a little sooner. Off somewhere together, just me and you.”

She stepped out from behind the tree, trying to smooth out her clothing in the meanwhile and pulling at her frizzy red hair to try to do something with it. Fiona didn’t care that she was dead or looked awful, so did Dakota. His clothing was ripped to shred, his neck an open wound and blood all over him. It brought tears to her yes, running over to him and raising a hand to touch him. But she didn’t. She was terrified her hand would go right through him as it had Marcus, and she couldn’t bare it. “Dakota, darling, what happened to you?”

Dakota looked at the ground , ashmaed of his answer. He knew he had started drinking alot and didn't want her to get upset.

"I became irrational after you died, and then i remember...." he struggled with his memories, "There was this guy, he reminded me of Marcus. All holy that thou, he was cocky and jerkish just like marcus was in highschool and college. I don't know I guess with everything going on I...." Dakota let his memories fly back slowly.

"There was a party, I saw Serenity leave with Tyler, that jock. I followed them outside. I thought maybe she was in trouble. I thought that maybe it was Tyler who killed you...so i followed them. There was some sort of animal. Serenity tried to tell me to run...but i couldn't. I dont remember anything else, but i guess I am dead now."

He didn't get to close to Fiona, and tried to keep his emotions at bay in case he dissapeared again.

Ghostly Goodbyes (Dakota/ Fiona)

Dakota frowned as Josh disappeared in front of him. In Joshes place stood Fiona, blood all over her, her hair all fuzzeled but still as beautiful as ever.

"Fiona?" he didnt understand she was dead, but according to Josh so was he. He tried to piece things together but no matter how hard he tried, he couldnt remember how he died.

[daddydakota-blog]

Dakota cocked his head to the side, feeling a bit like a dog. A Dog that was it, a dog. Something about a dog and Serenity.

"She tried to warn me, tried to tell me to go, but this...this animal. Oh God, its all coming back..." Dakota noticed Fiona behind a tree. As his emotions kicked in, he felt himself start to fade in and out.

"Josh, Son, Don't try to revenge me. I don;t want you hurt also."

Saying goodby.... hello? (Josh/Dakota)

“Dad, you are dead! Look!” Josh moved aside and pointed to his dad’s headstone. I went to the police station and then the morgue to identify the body. Whatever it was ripped you to shreds.” Josh moved closer to his father. “Don’t worry about our fight. We have a chance to make that right it seems. I need to know what killed you. Please try to remember.” Josh needed to know what happened. If it was really an animal or something… else.

[daddydakota-blog]

Dakota frowned. "What are you talking about? I'm not dead. I was at the party dancing with Josie. I saw...someone leave...I left...but i can't remember who it was, but I was worried and next thing i know I wake up in the woods covered in blood."

Dakota tried to remember what happened but it seemed like pieces of relaity were hard to grasp, as soon as he remembered a memory it slipped right out of his grasp. He could barely make out who he as or who Josh was. If he was dead, this would all make sence.

"Josh, We were fighting.... I was being selfish. I'm sorry." All his words were choppy incoherent and forced. He was forgetting.

Saying goodby.... hello? (Josh/Dakota)

As Josh was staring at the ground he could have sworn he heard someone say his name. He looked up and slowly turned his head. His eyes locked on the bloody mess of his fathers. His eyes went wide and he stood up from the back. Ready to run if need be. Finding out about Vampires and being a hunter and now his dead father was standing before him. “Dad?! How… Why are… I don’t understand. How are you here right now?” As his father walked towards him he slowly took a step back.

[daddydakota-blog]

Dakota cocked his head to the side.

"What are you talking about boy? Why are you here? In a cemetery? I think i hurt myself. Im trying to get home."

Dakota noted a strange feeling inside himself, he didn't feel pain at all though the blood was everywhere.

Dakota walked past the cemetery only to see his bike parked up front.

"What are you doing here ole gal." Dakota was pissed, How could Josh take his bike out, he knew he didn't like it.

Memories were faintly flooding back to him with the sight of the bike. Memories of a boy with dark hair, a trailer that they lived in, a life they made from scratch,

Dakota was confused, how could he forget such an important piece of his life?

"Josh." Dakota whispered, moving close to a figure not far away... Dakota forgot about the blood covering his body and that he was going home to wash up, all he could do was move toward the sad boys bent head.

Saying goodby.... hello? (Josh/Dakota)

Josh walked up to Dakotas headstone he had put up. He was going to come here and talk to his father as much as he. He felt bad for the way things was left between them. The last time he seen his father he was upset and disgusted with him and it made Josh hurt so bad. Josh drove his dads bike all the way to the headstone and got out a cloth and started  cleaning it while he talked.

“Hey dad. I have a lot to tell you today. Things that I’ve learned about myself. What I must do. Apologies to make to you…”

Josh felt tears running down his cheek. This was harder than he thought. He felt his stomach knot up so he sat down on the bike and just stared at the headstone. Thats when he felt a familiar presence. One he hasn’t felt sense…

I am awake.

Dakota opened his eyes. Everything was groggy, confusing. He didn't remember anything. He couldn't even grasp who he was or where he was. He stood up and looked around. He was in the woods, but why? He started to walk toward the clearing but stopped as he felt something dripping down his face.He raised his hand to wipe it off. It felt thick and sticky. Removing his hand he saw that it was blood. A lot of blood.

"What in the hell?" he yelled. He started to  run, run out of the woods. He didn't stop until he reached the end of the woods. He stopped just in time to see that murderhouse. A faint memory came flowing back. Something about a dog and Serenity. He ignored the thought and started to walk. He didn't know where he was going, but he knew he was headed in the right direction home.

[daddydakota-blog]

Dakota was puzzled as to why  Serenity was yelling at him to run, until he saw the dogs face. It wasn't just any dog it was a wolf. A big, mean , scary wolf. Dakota took a step back. "Whoa...." The thing turned and growled at him. He felt Serenity grap his and arm adn start running. He could barely keep up. In fact he thought she was dragging him. His arm burned from being pulled.

"Serenity whats going on." And to think all he wanted to do was to prove that Tyler was as big of a jerk as Marcus. He could feel his heart racing. This may be the last time he could ever say the things he wanted to. Do the things he wanted to. So much was left unsaid. Josh was mad at him, Marcus was mad at him. Everyone was mad at him.

Chasing After Her Tyler/Serenity

[daddydakota-blog]

Dakota followed the pair in the woods. He made sure to stay far behind them, which wasn't to hard since they were very VERY fast. He had no doubt Tyler was luring her out here to take advantage of her. The whiskey in his system made him slow and sloppy. When he came upon the couple he noticed Tyler was gone, there was screaming. He ran up to Serenity who stared at a huge Dog, or was it a wolf. He grabbed her by the arm as the wolf started to attack.

Chasing After Her Tyler/Serenity

[daddydakota-blog]

Chasing girls

Dakota stopped as everyone looked at Serenity screaming by the front door. She was yelling for Tyler. Dakota smiled. He knew it. He knew that punk wowuld screw up Since Fiona died, his mind had gone south. He had no better things to think about than bringing down punk ass people like Tyler. Tyler was the spitting image of Marcus at that age. He snuck out the side door and watched from the porch ready to follow the couple where ever they went.

[daddydakota-blog]

Dakota laughed "Yes pretty girl, boys lie so don't believe a thing they say until they are at least 30." He swirled her around to the beat of the music. "There is this cocky football player I am keeping an eye on and a blonde I am watching out for. For your man troubles, Don't beat around the bush. You know if he is the one. If he isn't let him go. If he is, you can get past the lies. So the question is. Is he the one? You shouldn't have to think about it. You should know." Dakota hated being so parental. But he had his fair share of heartache. His exwife, he should have went with his gut and left her long before she ditched them.

Dancing With Strangers Dakota/Josie

Dakota took her had while watching Tyler from the corner of his eye. Surely no one would recognize him to much like this.

“You seem mad. Me too.” He let them dance in silence for a few moments. This poor girl had no idea who he was, but they saw each other every day.

[daddydakota-blog]

“Um yeah but keep your hands where I can fucking see them,” she commented, letting the masked stranger lead her to where the others were dancing. At least this got her away from the swarm of people she didn’t know

Dakota, already drunk off his ass, looked at Josie. It was the girl he saw his son out with sometimes. The new diner girl

"Hey there pretty girl." He had heard about the party and wanted to make sure Tyler kept his cheating hands where they belonged. He was determined to prove himself right. Serenity would soon know Tyler was bad news.

He slurred a bit and took another drink "Wanna dance?"

Dancing With Strangers Dakota/Josie

Josie wandered aimlessly around the party, trying to pic up plates and get them to the trash can. She hadn’t found anyone she knew yet so she had nothing else better to do. There were people dancing and drinking all over this creepy ass house and she was worried to death someone was going to die. And she didn’t need another dead ghost wandering the halls. She wasn’t sure how many where there but she was sure it was more than she cared to know.

She let out a yelp of an apology when she ran into someone, dodging with the plates and letting them fall to the floor instead of on their clothes, “I’m so so fucking sorry.”

[daddydakota-blog]

Dakota scowled at the young man. Why was he needing to "discuss things " with his son. Something smelled like trouble, but Dakota didn't feel like worrying about it. Josh was a big boy.

"I'm not sure, he was in here a while ago....." He took a pen out of his apron and wrote down their address

"Here's where we live, try there or he usually is with Anne, his girlfriend. but look around first he may still be here"

Looking for Josh (Stefan/Dakota/Josh)

Stefan left his brother and headed to the diner. He needed to find Josh and figure out everything he knew about the night Anne was turned. 

He pulled into the diner and walked inside and started looking around. He noticed the cook in the back watching him. He looked like Josh. A lot.

“Excuse me. I’m looking for Josh Blake. Could you help me find him? I have some stuff I need to discuss with him.”

Stefan waited for the man to answer him.

[daddydakota-blog]

Dakota had no reason for while his temper was so short today. All he knew was that for some reason, he was angry inside. Very angry. He was starting to pick up the pieces of his life and move on, but something about Serenity made him feel protective over her. He didn't know why but she gave off that doe caught in the headlights. He was trying to do everything in his power to steer away from her, but keep everyone  else from hitting her at the same time. Strange. Strange strange. He went back to work and tried to forget his morning.

Brand New Day Dakota/Serenity/Tyler

He was thankful that Serenity reminded him to behave, he needed that sometimes, especially around the full moon. But his calmed down behavior didn’t last long when Dakota started to run his mouth. Tyler closed his eyes as the older man talked, reminding himself that this was Josh’s dad and he’d suffered a loss, and he could really hurt Dakota if he let his anger get to him. Everything he was saying was true after all, just more sarcastic than the wolf in him was liking. Serenity did deserve better than him, he didn’t have the best track record with women, however, what Dakota didn’t know was this effect that the blonde was having on him. That he wasn’t interested in any other girls at the moment. Period. Even if he flirted with them at school, it was all a show.

But when the older man referenced his father, something inside of Tyler snapped. His eyes shot open, his hand going out to Dakota’s throat faster than a normal human could have done. His body moved forward to slam him back against the counter, pressing him backwards over it. “Don’t you dare bring my father into this. You are a scum bag and a half and have no room to talk about being a womanizer. I suggest you make yourself useful in the kitchen like the little broke pieces of shit you are and don’t mess with someone who could put you in the hospital in two seconds flat.”

Tyler could feel his beast rising, his body beginning to quiver as he stared down into Dakota’s brown eyes. In that moment, he was less of a man, more of an animal. He pulled back from the man, reminding himself that Serenity was watching and left the diner, leaving his food on the counter. He had to get out. He didn’t want her to see him like this.

Dakota felt his trapped anger steam up. How dare this little boy insult him? Walking to the front- he slammed his apron on the floor. " be glad your a minor or id be all over you. I don't hit women or children..." Dakota looked at serenity who was annoyed " serenity. You deserve better. If known Tyler for a long time. He manipulated women and uses them cheats on them. He is a major asa to everyone except your little pack of followers. Tyler lockwood- star quarterback and heir to the homecoming throne. Really serenity? Trust me. Men will pretend to change. But they never really will. Secret. Lies. We all have them. Now flock along little boy before you end up like your daddy. "
