Monica laid back on the wooden boards of the docks, wearing a crop top and short shorts, with the plan of soaking up the sunshine while it was a beautiful and sunny day. The Montgomery felt at peace, laying in the sun and listening to the wind blowing the reeds by the lake. It wasn't often she felt like this, and the blonde knew it was only a matter of time until her mind would become flooded with annoying and intrusive thoughts, making it a struggle for her to relax. So she knew to make the most of this.

The past few days had been interesting to say the least... Ever since the day before Lizzie's party, Monica had been seeing Lizzie on and off. The Saltzman had been asking about the chances of them being an item, but Monica didn't want any strings attached. So that made them friends with benefits, currently. Monica was enjoying it, but she didn't realise how much it was hurting Lizzie.

The blonde had been curious about Ruby and Landon, and couldn't help but wonder when the pinkette was going to return to the Salvatore school. It felt unusual without her presence, without her trying to pester her about caring for others.

Not to mention the craziest thing that had happened over the past few days; the Necromancer was causing students dead loved one's to come back to life, to try and get the knife... which messing with their emotions like crazy. Rafael's girlfriend Cassie was a good example, she had suddenly appeared at the school a couple of days ago.

Monica opened one eye, upon hearing footsteps walking towards her. "Lizzie.." She sighed, sitting up. "I told you I wanted some time to myself." She complained, before turning around. What she saw made her face fall, and caused her eyes to instantly fill with tears.

"Monica." The figure spoke, as she stood tall, with blonde flowing hair, and bright blue eyes. "M... Mum!" The vampire rushed to her feet, and zoomed over to the older Montgomery, engulfing her in a hug.

"So Monica's mother has appeared at the school?" He asked, as Hope nodded. "Which means the Necromancer has sent his next victim.." He sighed, before scratching his head. "Monica is going to feel like she is losing her all over again." Hope raised an eyebrow, "But... Monica claims she doesn't care for anyone."

"Yeah.. well that was after her mother was brutally taken away from her when she died in a deliberately set fire." Alaric spoke as Hope's face fell and she looked both guilty and empathetic, "Oh wow I had no idea.. that's really sad."

"Monica's mother meant everything to her, so we're going to be dealing with a very emotional Montgomery once her mother is dragged back to her grave." Alaric sighed, already feeling sorry for his student, even if she was a total pain in the ass. Hope looks a little unsure as she asked, "Will the twins need to siphon her to nothing?"
