Question: What is death? Answer: The action or fact of dying or being killed; the end of the life of a person. That's the exact meaning of the word, but what emis/em death? Yes, it is the ending of one's life; however, death is what takes away the people we care about most. It destroys our lives and crushes our happiness.
How do we continue living knowing that we'll never see the people we care about most ever again?
Third Person POV:
It's been four months since the 'deaths' of Bonnie Bennett and Damon and Freya Salvatore. Their loved ones have been grieving. Each in their own way, of course.
The Mystic Falls gang have been doing different things to help with the grieving. Elena was distracting herself with college and beginning down her path to become a doctor. She has seemed perfectly fine with everything. Like she didn't grieve at all, but that might have something to do with Luke's witchy herbal drugs that allow Elena to see her dead lover and friend. Caroline, however, now that's a different story.
Miss Forbes dropped out of Whitmore and has been searching all summer for a way to reverse the Traveler's anti-magic spell around Mystic Falls. Stefan left Virginia all together and is now a mechanic in Savannah, Georgia. Jeremy has been drinking and hooking up with random girls. Matt joined the Mystic Falls self-defense group and has been trying to get through to Jeremy. Tyler enrolled in Whitmore and has been training and exercising every day. He's trying to keep his anger under control.
Alaric compelled himself a job as the Occult professor at the college. He's also been trying to get used to being a vampire.
Next, is what's going on in New Orleans. Elijah remembers what Faye told him about moving on and he wants to do that for her, but whenever he tries he thinks about Faye. He tried getting out there and having at least a semi-decent time and he would sometimes. He would have a little bit of fun, or a least what he considers fun, and he would want to tell someone about his night, but the first person who came to his mind to tell was Freya. Klaus grieved for Faye, even if they weren't the best of friends, but he was also worried about what was going on in the French Quarter and about his daughter Hope.
He was also trying to keep Hayley in check. She was off the rails without her daughter and with getting used to her new hybrid life.
Everyone grieved for their fallen friends. In their own way.
First Person POV:
*Unknown place*
I looked in the mirror at myself. 'I feel like I'm missing something from my life' I thought to myself as I twirled a strand of purple hair between my fingers. My brother said he liked the blue and purple highlights. I wasn't too sure though. "Hey, girly, get down here! Breakfast!" my brother shouted to me from the kitchen.
"I'm coming!" I shouted back. I sighed and walked out of my room and into the kitchen. "You know you don't have to shout right?" I asked my brother as I sat down at the dinning table. "Yeah, but it gets your attention a lot easier," he answered. "You never heard of going to her room and telling her?" my friend asked.
I gave her a thankful smile. "Bonnie's right, Damon," I said. "Whatever, Faye," my brother said as he sat a plate in front of me and one in front of Bonnie. "Every day I tell you I hate that," Bonnie said, referring to her pancakes that had a smiley face with whipped cream vampire fangs on it. "And every day he does it anyway," I said as Damon sat down.
"Bon appetit," Damon said and started eating. I smiled and dug in. Everything in my life is perfect right? If that's true, then why do I feel like something's missing from my life? Oh I know, because I'm in Hell.
