CHARLIE BARELY HAD TIME TO PROCESS ANYTHING. The Travelers had taken over Mystic Falls before she could even grieve her brother, and they had made it so that any magic that was not Traveler magic would be destroyed as soon as it entered the city limits.
That meant no vampires, no werewolves, no witches, no hybrids, no nothing. Everyone was dealing with other things, but she had no idea what to do. So, she talked to Sheriff Forbes and asked if there was anything that she could do to help with the evacuation of the town.
Liz gave her a crap ton of pamphlets, and Charlie stood just outside the town sign and handed them out to people leaving so that they had ideas of places to go. She just blessed music so loud that she could not think and passed out the papers.
Once everyone was evacuated, the Sheriff came to meet her at the border. However, just as she got there, they spotted people, Travelers, walking down the road toward them and into Mystic Falls. Markos was standing in the middle of the road, his hands behind his back and smiling. He turned to face the two as he approached them, smiling smugly at them. "It is a good day, Sheriff."
"Maybe for you. It took us all night to evacuate the 10-mile civilian radius around the Town Square," Liz informed him, and Charlie removed her earbuds so that she could hear their voices better. She made her way to stand next to the woman just in case the men tried anything.
"Hmm. Gas leak. Very clever. I appreciate your cooperation," Markos told them, and then, he turned his attention onto the brunette girl who was standing there and glaring at him with her arms crossed. She could barely stand to look at him after what he did to Tyler, and it took everything in her not to break down right there. She told herself that she would not cry until everything was done and over with, although she was not sure when that would be. "And you, Charlotte. I especially did not expect you to be helping after the whole debacle with your brother."
The girl was scared about what she was going to say if she opened her mouth, so she kept it shut. Liz, knowing that the look on the young woman's face meant that she was ready to fight, continued the conversation before he could get under her skin too much. "It will keep our residents away for now but certainly not forever."
