"Carol Lockwood always said that togetherness in times of tragedy leads to healing. But how does a community stay strong after losing its leader? Carol was so much more than a leader; she was an open-minded friend and a concerned mother, taken from us too soon by a terrible accident."
Malik sat there quietly next to Bonnie, listening to Liz and her speech, but noticed how Tyler just got up and left the memorial. He felt bad for him. He lost his father in the raid of vampires and now his mother died too.
Everyone said it was a terrible accident, that she drowned in the fountain... but at the same time when the officials said it was a terrible accident... it meant supernatural.
Malik had a suspicion that it might have been Klaus, taking revenge on Tyler for turning the hybrids against him.
"Please join me in observing a minute silence in her memory" came the voice of Liz which got Malik to stop thinking.
Everyone put their heads down for the minute of silence, both Bonnie and Malik noticed how Elena looked over to the other side of the gym but then quickly turned back and closer her eyes before looking again, a confused expression on her face.
"Are you okay?" asked Bonnie gently.
"Yeah... I'll be right back" responded Elena and standing up left the gym without any explanation.
"In the wake of this tragedy, the town has selected an interim mayor" spoke Liz again. "Many of you may already know him. Please welcome Mr. Rudy Hopkins."
Malik and Bonnie rolled their eyes and leaning against each other they weren't exactly happy. Rudy stood up and walked behind the podium, beginning his speech.
"Thank you so much, Sheriff. Carol Lockwood put this town first and that's why I'm here to talk to you guys. You are the future of Mystic Falls..."
Once the memorial and Rudy's speech was over the twins exited the gym very quickly, not even wanting to look back at their father. Once they were outside the duo walked around to clear their heads.
"Unbelievable" commented Malik. "Did you know about this?"
"No" Bonnie shook her head and gently grabbed Malik's hand. "I don't understand why he did it... probably best if we ask him."
"Do we have to?" whined Malik quietly.
"What else do you suggest we do?"
"I know, I know" sighed the boy defeatedly.
It seemed their dad has left the school and meet up with the Sheriff, it was quite easy to find him after that. Aiming for the Grill the two of them were preparing for this conversation, Bonnie had a feeling it wasn't going to go well.
In the Grill Rudy sat with a straight face while Liz was pulling out documents and began her initiation.
"So, first speech under your belt. Now for the fun part "she pushed a folder across the table to Rudy and opened it. "We've ruled Carol's death as head trauma from a fall- that's the official autopsy."
