the blonde rested her chin on her hand, wiggling her fingers in a playful hello to the witch. they hadn't exactly communicated before, but she'd seen what the other woman would do. "yeah...i really don't have a proper idea but....tada!"

''lexi?'' bonnie exclaimed not expecting to see the blonde stood before her looking very much alive. that in itself gave the witch even more of a bad feeling about the spell that elena had assisted esther with. not quite sure how to react to seeing her but it also appeared that she had the same reaction to being here. ''i'd ask how but I think I already have a feeling.''

"well isn't that just something you want to hear." lexi commented, a small frown wrinkling her nose. "you know what, if that's the vibe this town has now i'm gonna need a few more shots to deal with today."

keen senses on alert. the blondes' scent was the first thing that caught her attention. she smelled ...--- weird. malia could not put her finger on it. she had never smelled anything like it before. naturally, she leaned forward and sniffed the girl. not even attempting to be discreet. she wanted to ask what was wrong ; what was awkward. instead, she said, " you smell weird. "

an incredulous laugh slipped from the blonde at the sight of elena. it was difficult, seeing the brunette. even though lexi knew she wasn't katherine, it was still difficult to see everything stefan had endured, and continued to. but elena wasn't the reason, and her kindness was enough to soften lexi's edges. "i'm...alright? sort of using my energy to get ready to punch damon in the face. maybe this klaus guy too."

brown hues widen at the familiar face, feeling a mix of feelings at the sight of her ex-boyfriend's best friend. she didn't imagine it'd ever get less weird, seeing the dead come back to life. and even though she knew it was wishful thinking, she was hoping to see her parents roaming around town. " lexi. " eyes were sympathetic as she took a seat across from the other, " i can't even imagine how hard this must be for you. how are you holding up? "

the blonde blinked, glancing over to the woman on her left. " the blonde blinked, glancing over to the woman on her left. "sorry, bad habit talking to myself." something she'd picked up on the other side. it was lonely having no one to speak with. "just....a weird day i guess."

her tongue pressed to the roof of her mouth, a smile spreading to her lips as she clicked her tongue in approval. "it most definitely is. though i usually like to get a gorgeous girls name before i end up buying her a drink." she said with an easy smile, shameless in her flirtation.

the deadpanned comment made faye snicker, eyes then rolling playfully in response. then the blonde continued to speak, and a brow was arched in her direction. hopping down from the bar, the raven haired beauty then hummed as she tipped her head to the side, eyeing the blonde. "if that's your way of offering to get me a non dodgy drink, then i accept." faye murmured flirtatiously, catching her bottom, rouged, lip between her teeth.

lexi had woken up where she'd been staked - down the alleyway beside the mystic grill. and she'd awoken hungry. it had left little time to consider why she was back, her empathetic nature keeping her grounded through the primal hunger she felt. it was rare for her to feed on animals, but in this state she didn't trust herself to feed on a human, forcing her way into the forest. after a few dozen bunnies she was feeling somewhat normal once more, enhanced senses picking up on a woman's voice. it took little time to find the source, keeping her distance as she looked at the other girl warily. "you...alright there?"

waking with a start, erica let out a deafening scream, then a howl. in the midst of the forest, golden eyes peered from left to right, searching the brush. pristine skin was caked in dirt, blonde locks matted and previously manicured nails were now sore, black nail polish chipped, a sign of having clawed herself out from six feet down. she was alive. how was she alive? the blonde clutches her chest, where kali’s claws had sliced her skin so effortlessly. “boyd?!” erica shouted for her fellow beta, panic stricken features searching for the last face she saw before she died. then, the light ticking of a stable heart rate. but, the scent she picked up on did not belong to boyd.. “hello..?” for the first time in a long time, her voice held vulnerability, and a touch of fear.

lexi sat at a corner table in the mystic grill, her fingers tracing the rim of her glass absentmindedly. "...this is awkward. it's so totally awkward." the blonde murmured to herself. the chatter and laughter around her seemed distant as her thoughts lingered on the undeniable truth—this was the place where she had met her fate once already. it was all painfully ironic, the night she returns to life returning to the place she was killed.

"poison." lexi deadpanned, her lips pressed into a thin line for a moment before she cracked a grin, laughing spilling from her lips. "yeah i have no idea, but if i were you, i wouldn't be the cliché girl getting dodgy drinks from strangers. you're way too hot for that."

faye, now a few drinks deep and fueled by the pulsating rhythm of the music, had abandoned all inhibitions. she stood atop the bar in the dimly lit club, her body swaying to the music. her normally sleek raven hair was a wild cascade around her, and her eyes sparkled with a mischievous glint as she beckoned others to join her. a brave soul handed faye another shot, which she gladly accepted, downing it immediately, grimacing a little at the taste, nose wrinkling. "shit, what WAS that?"

the annoying thing about lexi branson, is was that she was an expert in the subject known as stefan salvatore. particularly, she was an expert in when he was trying to bullshit her. "oh please, it's not my fault you're as readable as a colouring book." she paused, her hands resting on her hips. "what, no oh my god, how are you here, why are you here speech? i know you've switched it off but you could at least pretend to be shocked to see me."

he wishes he was not so easy to read , vulnerability coarsing through him. " stop pretending to know what i'm thinking. " he knew honestly , that he remained predictable , almost too easily to read. he detested this about himself , and liked to pretend he was less predictable than what claimed to be true. he sighs in frustration , arms folding across his chest in defence. it is his defence mechanism , avoiding the inevitable that can cause him pain. " i don't need you to read me. "

alexia branson was born to what was known as a modest life in the 1600′s. despite her age, the woman never took a husband, instead focusing her attentions on her younger brother. after the unexpected death of their parents the female was sought out by many men, her attractive looks and well-spoken manners a desirable trait. however, she refused them all, spending her time raising her sibling. it was a difficult life, and the hardships were beginning to take their toll. at the age of twenty-one she knew she was dying, the fever and pains in her body causing agony as she attempted to continue taking care of her brother.

it was a dark night when one of her suitors came to her door, promising her that he could help heal her. to keep her forever young, so she would have the ability to care for her sibling. in her fevered state she couldn’t help but agree, the blood and fangs seemingly a hallucination as she passed out into the darkness.

it was only upon awakening that she realized what she’d become. a creature of the devil, cravings of blood, of violence filling her entire being, a creature that could no longer go out in the sunlight. she was bound to the night, for the entirety of her life. but it didn’t matter to her, as long as she could look after her brother. he was but a child, only five, and he needed her. isolated in her home, her suitor, and now her sire remained in their company, teaching her how to control her urges whilst she taught her brother how to survive in the world.

but as the years passed the village became suspicious of alexia, the woman who would only appear at night, and had seemingly not aged in over ten years, and the man that accompanied her. they accused her of witchcraft, and in the middle of the night set the branson’s home ablaze, with the three of them inside.

both her sire and alexia managed to escape, but her brother was not so lucky, perishing inside their home. the brutal and cruel death of her brother was too much for the vampire, her emotions wild and uncontrollable. it took her sires influence to stop her from walking out into the sunlight to join her family. instead, he told her of a way for the pain to stop, to turn off her emotions and take revenge on the town that had ruined her home.

the next nightfall the young vampire killed each and every single member of the town, leaving no survivors.

for years the two travelled together, relishing in blood lust and hedonism that was frowned upon in that age. it was after massacring yet another village 35 years later that their partnership came to an end. it was as she came upon her sire in one of the homes, adult bodies dead on the floor that she saw what was nearby. three babies, crying and wailing in their cribs. innocent, crying, hungry, and scared. it was something that sparked her humanity, her instinct to care for the children enough to turn her humanity back on. the three babies were a challenge, but the guilt that gnawed inside her from the murder of their parents left her feeling a duty to protect these three babies. it was one night after they’d taken the three that her sire vanished, leaving her alone with the children.

percy, buxton, and hugo were a handful, but they started a new life in a new village, far away from the one they’d all been born in. alexia was a patient mother, teaching them of her true nature but swearing them to secrecy. the four eventually began to run a butchers in the town, giving alexia the chance to feed off of the animal blood to avoid suspicion.

when the three children came of an acceptable age alexia offered them the same thing that she’d been promised, immortality. all three of them were turned that night, and with a kiss to each of them they parted ways, all ready to try and make their way on their own.

there was a longing for repentance in the woman, finding ways to make up for the years without her humanity. spending her days as a nurse, she crossed paths with other vampires, some lost, some needing help. it has left her with hundreds of vampires and witches around the world as her friends.

but after damon staked her, lexi found herself watching over her closest friend stefan salvatore, ensuring that she could do all she could from the other side. when esthers spell pulled her from the other side, she knew what she had to do. help stefan find his humanity once more.

kol mikaelson: her sire, the first man she ever loved. she thought he abandoned her, something that filled her with both rage and sorrow. what she didn’t know was that he was an original, and that his siblings had tracked him through the reports of bloodshed, and daggered him for his dangerous actions.

𝐕𝐈𝐈...𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 !

currently alexia isn't aware of the pull the spell caused that has her aligned with esther and against the mikaelson family.
