Mystic Falls
Third person p.o.v.
Jenna, Elijah, and Arabella walked down a path through some dead leaves. The trees around them were dead. Jenna was talking about some of the town's history while Elijah and Arabella were cracking jokes about the real history.
"The old Fell property actually starts just behind that fence." Jenna says moving past her two friends.
"Ah, the Fells. One of the 'Founding Families." Elijah says as Arabella rolls her eyes playfully at him.
Jenna plays with the envelope in her hands. "Why do you say it like that?"
"My research showed me that this area was actually settled almost two full centuries earlier. It was a migration of townsfolk from the Northeast, um, it was Salem, to be precise." Elijah says, being the educated person that he is.
"Massachusetts? As in the witch trials?" Jenna asks with interest.
"Which means that the ever lauded founding families... we didn't actually found anything." Arabella says cocking her head to the side. Her and Elijah laughed together.
Jenna smiles. "Well, I bet it was the men who made a big deal about being founders back in 1860. Men are very territorial."
"Yep, apparently they are." Arabella says looking straight at Alaric coming their way. Jenna sees Elijah and Arabella staring at something, so she turns and sees her boyfriend.
"Uh, Elijah. This is my friend, Alaric Saltzman. And Ric, you know Arabella." Arabella nods her head at Ric, which he reciprocated but turns his attention to Elijah.
"Yeah, I got you message about walking Elijah here through the old property lines. I thought I would tag along. You know, being a history buff and all." It grows so awkwardly quiet, Arabella felt like laughing. "Where to next?"
"I'm pretty curious about the freed slave property owners." Elijah says looking at Ric. Arabella looked towards Elijah with an eyebrow raised and a smirk. "Some say, you know, the descendants of the slaves are the true keepers of American history."
"Well, I only brought the surveys. I got that list in the car, just give me a sec." Jenna says as she walks towards her car.
Arabella turned towards Elijah with a surprised, teasing look. "So inspiring."
Elijah turns towards her with a smile. "Well, only I inspire such curiosity in young minds out of all my siblings."
"And that is why you're my favorite living Mikaelson." Elijah laughs and puts his arm over Arabella's shoulders, bringing her in for a quick hug. Alaric watched this interaction with a small smile, but then remembered that he's trying to kill Elena.
After Elijah let go of Arabella, her turned towards the teacher. "Alaric Saltzman. So your one of those people on Elena's list of loved ones to protect."
"So is Jenna." Alaric says not looking away from Elijah.
"You don't have to be jealous. I don't really pursue younger women." Arabella laughed out loud at Elijah's joke while Alaric looked confused. Arabella patter Alaric's shoulder. "It's a joke, Ric. Lighten up."
