her body seemed to collapse, but never hit the ground thanks to caroline's abilities, of being both a concerned mother and vampire. the question ran through her head and eleanor wanted to answer it. she saw someone before becoming conscious but had no idea who it could be. "i saw someone, and they said something to me but i can't remember what." there was no telling how long it took to walk from the cemetery to here, but from the way her feet and legs felt it must've been a few hours. "i dug out of my own grave, so the world is spinning."
at first she thought she was hallucinating. that it was maybe some trick of the light or something because what her eyes were seeing did not seem possible. you'd think nothing would surprise her considering the path her life has taken. how many impossible things had happened to her ? but here stood someone that she knew died. someone her son had lost, someone that would have become her daughter in law. "oh my god, ellie, " shock evident in her voice. an arm quickly wrapping around the other in hopes to comfort her. " we'll figure it out, honey. " did she have a clue ? absolutely not. but she wasn't about to let eleanor wonder around confused and alone. " what's the last thing you remember ? "
eleanor had only been alive for a few hours, something brought her back to life and she was determined to figure out what it was. the first place on her list was the apothecary, ellie felt she was in danger and wanted to protect nikolas and herself from whatever may come. it wasn't until she heard a familiar voice, of her future mother in law, had she not died before the wedding. with wide eyes, she looked for something to hide behind, but caroline already saw her. "uhh hi caroline...i was hoping to not have this meeting out in the open, but here we are." she tried to smile, but every nerve in her body felt far to tense to move. "i don't know how i'm here...."
open ! @inaducursehqstarters location: outside stumphouse coffe !
after taking a sip from the take away cup of coffee caroline sighed as it tasted of old drip and not the caliber she'd been accustomed to the last few months in europe. that was the biggest thing she missed since returning home. the rest was overshadowed by the excitement to see her family in person after phone conversations and messages. " toto it looks like we're not in rome anymore, " she speaks more to herself than any passerby in particular after another swig.
