Callie

three; mystic falls woods

    Callie and Rafael met up with Josie at the secret party that they had in the woods. Rafael wanted Landon out to see how he's doing so Josie and Callie decided to help him break Landon out. "Ready?" Callie asked Josie. "Yeah." Josie answered grabbing Callie's hands. "Remember, this spell isn't mine. It's Esther's." Josie nodded closing her eyes, Callie doing the same. "Où tu fuis. A pouvoir la trouver. Yonn souri nan zab." The girls said in unison.

Landon was being dragged straight towards them. They stopped and then Landon stood up, "Raf? What the hell man." He asked. Rafael walked up to him and embraced him in a hug, "You-you alright? They helped me get you out." He gestures towards Josie and Callie. They both smile, "Summoning spell." Josie answered. "Sorry if we bruised you, we're still working out the kinks in using our magic together." Callie explained. Landon looked at the two girls like he still can't believe any of this is real, he chuckles in disbelief, "Summoning spell?"

Rafael claps Landon on the back and steers him towards the party, "Let's get you drink, bro." "Yeah, let's do that." Landon answered walking with Rafael to the old mill ruins. Josie and Callie walk back to the party, Callie more concerned about Landon getting caught by Alaric, who is possibly on his way to crash their party and moment now. "How's Lizzie?" Callie asked. Josie looked at her, "Normal Lizzie stuff. This time she ruined the kitchen and almost stabbed Dad in the eye with a butcher knife." Josie explained to the concerned girl. "At least she didn't hurt anyone. Do you know why?" She questioned her best friend. "Well, Raf said that he made a point in his life that he should keep clear of girls like her. Then she seen you run after him, she felt as if you didn't care." Callie felt her heart drop, she didn't know how to explain herself to Lizzie, so she explained it to Josie, "I like him. He's nice, sweet, and he wants to protect Landon. None of the guys here are like that Jo." Callie explained. "And Lizzie always calls dibs on the new guys before even meeting them. I ran after Raf because he seemed like his world fell apart his girlfriend is dead, he wrecked the car. He came back to life, she didn't. Lizzie brought it up to him which made him angry. I felt bad, I would never purposely hurt Lizzie."

After a long conversation, Josie and Callie walk around with drinks in there hands, Josie stops when she sees Penelope standing by a tree. "Jo, you okay?" Callie asks looking at her friend. Josie and Penelope stare at each other for long moment before Penelope walks away. "Let's go." Callie says reassuringly. Callie and Josie started to make their way to the drinks, Callie picked up a bottle and walked away with it.

   Callie sat on the bench across from fire taking sips from the bottle, "Do you always drink like this?" Rafael asked sitting next to her. Callie smiled, "Only when it's necessary." Rafael chuckled, "Thanks for your help with Landon." "Oh, yeah, of course. Anytime." Callie said sincerely. "I didn't get to explain Lizzies side. She means well, she just stick her foot in it. I'm sorry about her and Cassie. I hope you'll be okay." Callie apologized. He paused for a moment and smiled slightly, "Thanks." Callie put her hand on his arm, "No problem. If you ever need someone to talk to just come find me." She told him.

   Callie turned her head to the fire, "I had gotten a... a track scholarship to UVA. She was gonna follow me after graduation." He shook his head and then sighed, "She was the best person I knew." Callie looked back at the fire with a sad expression on her face. Rafael continues staring at the fire, "Pretty much loved her in that way that they say only exists in movies." Callie looked at Rafael sympathetically, Josie walks over and sits next to here over hearing their conversation, "People who say that are people who have never gotten their hearts crushed." Josie said sadly.

   "You too?" He questioned. Josie looks at the fire and slightly smiles, "On the regular" she chuckles, "I care too much. It's kind of a problem." Josie said looking at Rafael and then to Callie. Callie grabber Josie's hand as comfort, "I don't think that's a problem at all." Josie looked at her and smiled. Josie looked at Rafael, "You should give Lizzie a second chance. Lizzie is the best person that I know besides Cal of course."

   Callie looked up and was looking for Landon, "I gotta go." She said standing up fast. Callie looked around the Old Mill Ruins and couldn't find Landon. She ran straight into the woods. "Landon!" She yelled. She walked around until she seen him, "Landon!" He turned around to see who called his name, "Callie?" He asked questionably. Callie ran towards him, "Are you okay? Are you hurt or maybe lost?" She asked concerned. "I'm fine." He said as he kept walking, Callie on his heels. They heard cracking in the brush they stopped. "What was that?" Landon asked. Callie shrugged her shoulders, "A squirrel or a drunk student walking through the woods?" Landon looked at her like she was crazy, "what it happens." She told him.

   They heard low growling, "And that's a wolf." Callie said pointing into the direction of the wolf. "What do we do!?" Landon said worriedly. Callie grabbed his arm backing away slowly, "Landon, run!" She exclaimed. They both ran through the woods and as soon as they almost made it to the gate the wolf tackled Landon. "Landon!" Callie yelled. She ran back to him, seeing Hope grab his sweater. She turned towards Callie, "Are you crazy?! I almost killed him!" She told her. "He ran away, I was trying to find him and what about me you could've killed me too?!" Callie said to her. Landon kept staring at Hope like he couldn't believe any of this is happening.
