Mystic Falls, Virginia 

The Salvatore Boarding School 

Caroline walked down the hall beside Poppy, a large cup of coffee in her hand. The two had stayed up all night talking, about good times and bad times, and about everything that had been going on. Sun poured in through the windows, and luckily Poppy had made herself a new ring during the nighttime. 

"We don't have a preschooling program, but we do have kindergarten. Your kids are around the same ages as the twins, they're old enough here." The blonde told the brunette. "We have teachers for the basic classes. Math, science, history, English. We do have a witch here to teach all the little ones. Jeremy is here to help out with the older kids. Dorian is here." She sighed. "It's not much right now, but we're getting there."

Poppy smiled at her. "I have faith in this school, Care. If I didn't think it'd work out then I wouldn't have allowed you to make it. This is where I want my kids to be, especially right now. A boarding school would be best.." 

Caroline stopped walking, causing Poppy to stop and turn to look at her. "You should teach here!" She exclaimed. "You're a tribrid, and you're smart! And I wouldn't mind having a little choir of supernatural kids."

The brunette rolled her eyes. "Maybe in like twenty years." She smirked. 

"I'll take it." The vampire continued down the hall and walked towards the foyer. The door was open, allowing fresh air to come inside. Outside, Alaric had just arrived and unpacked a large sign that read 'Salvatore Boarding School for the Young and Gifted'. The twins ran to him, laughing and giggling. They wore tutus and carried around toy wands. 

Poppy watched them with a smile. "Can I say hi to Lizzie?" She asked. 

Caroline nodded, taking a drink of her coffee. "Yeah, of course." 

Whooshing outside, Poppy picked up the blonde little girl and spun her around, not showing her that it was her yet. Lizzie laughed when she was put down, and she turned around to look at Poppy. A large smile formed on her face. 

"Poppy!" She exclaimed, hugging her legs. 

Alaric stood up from his kneeling position and gave the tribrid a hug. "I'm glad you're here." He told her, kissing the top of her head before pulling away. 

Poppy smiled at him, and she wondered why she had been so scared to return to her home. She walked back inside with the twins following close behind. Walking by was Dorian, who waved a hello at her. Standing around were two teenage boys and Jeremy Gilbert. Caroline handed him a crossbow. 

"Here you go." She smiled. The boys parted from the blonde, leaving the building. 

Poppy walked to Josh, who scanned the bookshelves. He turned and looked at her. "This is a nice place," He told her. 

She nodded. "It is...Thank you for coming with me." The tribrid said, tucking her fingers into her pockets. She wished there was more she could do to show her gratitude, but she wasn't sure how. 

Josh smirked. "Thank you for not eating me yesterday."

New Orleans, Louisiana 

Vincent's Apartment 

New Orleans was different from Mystic Falls, very different. Mystic Falls had the small town feel to it, and it was quiet for the most part. New Orleans was wild, magical, spooky, and big. It was weird leaving Mystic Falls and arriving in New Orleans, but they were both home. Vincent sat on the couch of his apartment, which had a mostly wooden interior with a nice staircase and simple areas. He had just gotten back from dropping the kids off at preschool.
