Season 3: Ordinary People
Alaric guides Rosalie through the tunnel that Mason showed Damon last night. She holds the flashlight out towards Alaric, taking in the creepy atmosphere. Alaric glances back, just to be sure she's close by in case something pops out. It is Mystic Falls after all.
"So the Lockwood really had no idea that these tunnels are underneath their property? How did Mason know about this?" Rosalie murmurs to herself.
"Yeah. Careful where you shine that thing. Bats hate the light" Rosalie flicks the back of his head.
"Don't freak me out" Alaric chuckles.
"Rosalie" Damon whispers in Rosalie's ear. Rosalie screams and flips around, stumbling over her feet. Damon licks his lips and smiles.
"That's not funny, Damon!" Rosalie suppresses a smile.
"Scaredy cat" Alaric smiles.
"Just ignore him. That's what I do" Rosalie scoffs out of a laugh.
"So you really can't get in?" Damon frowns.
"Nope. Seems even the ancient Lockwoods were anti-vampire" Damon squeezes passed Rosalie.
"Ancient?"
"See for yourself" Damon gestures to the large opening. "This is as far as I get to go" Rosalie speed-walks over to Alaric. He helps her over the small divot in the ground, knowing Rosalie, she'd probably trip and crack open her skull.
Alaric flashes the light on the cravings. Rosalie follows the light and examines the drawings. Clearly, it represents some sort of story. Rosalie walks up to them and brushes her fingertips against it. Rosalie gasps and jumps back when the wall shocks her.
"What happened?" Damon immediately asks.
"It shocked me. I'm okay" Rosalie explains. Damon scrunches up his eyebrows.
"Shocked you? How does a wall shock you?" Alaric pans down to very corner of the tunnel.
"That's why"
In the corner, two of names are crossed out. Romulus and Eveline's name is intact. Rosalie meanders to it. In large letters, Phoenix is spelled out and has lines drawn through it.
"How am I allowed inside though? Obviously, as usually, my family isn't liked. I should be out there with Damon" Alaric shrugs.
"I have no idea. But look next to your last name. Do you know what that says?" Rosalie shakes her head. "They're written in Runic. A Viking script. Those names translate to, Niklaus. Elijah. And Rebekah" Rosalie shakes her head.
"My family didn't come here until much later. I thought they didn't know my family until Damon met them"
"Well, I guess not" Alaric shrugs.
"These are the names of the original family?" Rosalie flashes her light on their names.
"That's been here since way before the founding of Mystic Falls, or even the entire new world, for that matter" Rosalie stares worriedly at it.
"I think my ancestors did something to the original family" Alaric nods.
"I agree. We thought it might've been fake, but look at this last name" Alaric points the light at a name.
