Sadness

Darkness, it's consuming and doesn't stop. Evelyne knew this a little all to well, feeling everyone's emotion was hard. But feeling the sadness of over three other people started to pull her into the darkness. Yet here she stood surrounded by at least fifty people feeling every last one's grief, the only reason she could stand was because she was harnessing the power to keep herself standing. It didn't help she was feeling her own sadness and doing everything she could not to project it.

Vampires stood all around bowing their heads in respect to her and offering her their condolences. Many of the older vampires offered to stay with her for a few days so she wouldn't be alone so soon after losing the only vampire she had ever turned. It had only been a couple of years prior that Kol had been daggered.

"My Lady," A vampire bowed to her, "Kol made me a vampire, I will stay in town for the next few days. We do not wish for you to be alone in this time."

"Thank you, but I actually need to be alone for a little while. I shall be back tonight." Evelyne said with a sad smile before walking away and into the woods.

Once she was far enough into the woods she blocked everyone's emotions so she could only feel her own. In the solitude of the woods she finally let herself break. Tears streamed from her eyes and sobs shook her body as she closed in on herself. She knew that she hadn't gone to far from the large group of vampires and one of them was bound to hear her sobs of pain, sorrow. But she also knew they knew she needed to grieve on her own for a little while.

An hour later Eve still sat on a rock curling in on herself sobbing. Three vampires who had been turned by Kol and had promised him that they would protect Evelyne arrived not knowing what to do they all just hugged her until she stopped crying. The oldest of the vampires had been around Kol and Evelyne knowing about her powers started to use happy thoughts and emotions to calm her.
