never did damon anticipate that he would find himself here. ( here : the gilbert home, attempting to do something noble. though perhaps noble isn’t the right word. are you capable of such virtue? ) all clues that the recent fire harmed him are gone. burns that had marred cool, marble skin healed over the moment the flames could no longer reach him and though an unfamiliar sense of exhaustion has settled in age - old bones, damon walks as though nothing has touched him. blue irises speak of weariness over the roguish glimmer that typically shines within. today, all roads seemed to lead back to the gilberts, but his attempt at doing the right thing remains left untaken by the boy who’s memories he was willing to erase. it’s during his path to the front door that he finds himself questioning whether his offer was the right move at all. it’s unfamiliar, the feeling that flickers through him is. perhaps an apparition of regret?
after all, what is redemption for the irredeemable? absolution for someone who doesn’t ask for it, doesn’t want it? in today’s maelstrom of flame and fireworks, damon’s redemption had taken the form of his brother -- stefan, risking entrapment in the fire himself, because he still felt that damon was worth saving. despite everything he had done to indicate otherwise. but was stefan right? jury’s still out on that one.
as damon pulls the door shut behind him, he’s met with elena nearing the top of the stairs. the garment bag in her arms has his mind flashing to hours before, back to the wrenching familiarity of her in that dress. one name echoes at the back of his mind and he knows she’s not her, but standing there with that spark of something unnamable in her eyes, damon had so desperately felt like she was. he had gone years with flashes of dark hair in his peripherals, only for nothing to be there when he turned, raising questions of whether he’d ever seen anything at all. yet with elena here, now, he still feels like he’s seeing a ghost. careful damon, your humanity is showing.
finally, he takes a few steps forward.
❝ here, let me take that for you. ❞

don’t venture off into the woods! it’s a warning given since childhood curiosity drew him to the treeline beyond the boarding house. don’t wander off the path alone, foolish boy, for you don’t know what beasts could be waiting for you. the monsters then and now were the same ; damon had just long since removed himself from the fear they were meant to instill. after all, if you can’t beat them, join them. tonight, however, instincts have had damon on edge within the center of town. a little nagging sense that had followed him since his return from the mountains earlier that evening. ( animal nature, he supposes. it’s what has him listening for additional footsteps, nerves buzzing as they feel for a shift in the air. what laid beyond the light of the grill? eyes on him in the shadows? ) he always had hated feeling like prey. he had spent hours at the grill that night. relaxing, flirting with one of the new bartenders. normal, for all intents and purposes. still normal when he trails a stumbling brunette out the side door of the restaurant. damon’s weightless, silent, as he follows her. eventually, he shifts course down an alley, a looping way to get ahead of her. and that’s when he hears the nearly inaudible intake of a breath echo off the walls. a giveaway that’s just enough for him to turn on his newfound shadow and trap them between himself and the brick -- damon’s forearm presses against the base of their throat, free arm braced against the wall. irises seem to darken while incisors grow sharper : perilous, unpredictable, glacially cold. “let’s play a game. tell me why you've been following me, and i’ll let you get a head start before i kill you. don’t tell me --” he raps the knuckles of his unoccupied hand once against the space where the other vampire’s chest and ribs meet. “and i’ll rip your heart right out of your chest.”

mccall, s.
𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒂𝒍𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒚. the usual ache in his muscles, overworked to the point of absolute exhaustion, had all but disappeared in a matter of seconds. he didn’t miss the feeling, of course, just as he didn’t miss the constant urge to reach for his inhaler, or the feeling of his chest tightening. as it would have, the door of his car slammed shut, pulling him from his thoughts about �� what the hell is going on with me. ’ it took him a split second to register what was happening, face & head both absolutely blank before the confusion set in, mirroring itself in the way his brows pushed together, head shaking slightly to emphasize his absolute cluelessness to the situation.
he blinked. once. twice. getting my — ❛ what ? ❜
there’s a beat where scott’s whole deer in the headlights look might have nearly made him laugh. rather, jackson keeps his expectant gaze leveled on the other, brows upticking as he waits for him to say more. when scott leaves it at that, a huff of a laugh falls past jackson’s lips. he’s got to be kidding, right? he’s certain there’s no way he doesn’t know what jackson’s asking. “where,” he begins repeating, enunciating each word with dry emphasis, “are you . . . getting . . . your juice?”

ENVISION : young man, bored to madness. elder salvatore is the portrait of dionysus as he revels in the house no longer his home ; with empty glasses discarded about, carelessness evident in his exploration of stefan and uncle zach’s belongings. god, the two of them were painfully boring. ( a house this big for the taking and the two of them simply used it to hoard dusty salvatore relics from the last century. yawn. ) damon’s flipping mindlessly through one of stefan’s journals when he hears the crunch of gravel outside a nearby window, heightened senses instantly putting him on the edge of alertness when his spine straightens. the front door creaks in the slightest and it takes a mere second for damon to find a perch from the second story. and suddenly, he’s found his means of entertainment for the afternoon. he watches a shock of dark hair walk the floor below — the beating of her heart echoes in his ears, the backing track to her human life. truth be told, he didn’t need to see her face to know who she was, to envision what this girl looked like : features that would be alarmingly familiar, that stirred a feeling yet to be named in his gut. and as she turns, a certain softness can be seen in her countenance, an innocence that the predecessor had never bore. something deep within him twists at the sight ; but he gives her no more than a few moments to take in the boarding house before silently appearing behind her . "you must be elena," he says by way of greeting. a smile twitches at the corners of his lips as he takes her in -- certainly not katherine. he’d be able to tell, damon’s conscience insists. but would you? a muted part of him counters. “stefan has talked all about you.”

to give him credit, jackson did think twice before approaching scott. genuinely considered just tossing his gear over his shoulder and leaving to go catch up with matt and tyler at the grill like he had planned. but it’s curiosity and irritation that gets the best of him in the parking lot beyond the field -- a nagging voice saying that he had worked his ass off for years to be good, but over the span of a summer scott mccall has improved enough to compete? a fact that no one was going to question? that voice is what has him knocking scott’s door shut while he’s occupied with his bag, the slam of the car resounding in the nearly - empty parking lot.
“alright, mccall. how about you tell me where you’re getting your juice?”

“all i’m saying is that i really wouldn’t mind drop kicking darth vaderette’s little redheaded body across the soccer field if she makes one more snarky comment.” quick strides bring caroline down the side of the trailer as she fiddles to sandwich her cell between her ear and shoulder. bright irises slide over where a couple boys are at work constructing part of the founder’s float, another piece that she easily checks off on her clipboard. “remind me how close you -- no, no, no, that’s supposed to be spray - painted red, not white!” a huff falls past pink - painted lips while she gestures with her pen, as though to underline the pile of krylon bottles. “sorry, how close are you with the new rolls of chicken wire?”
