POSTED WITH MACK CAUSE KIA AIN'T IN THE AU JOURNAL.

CHARACTERS: Kia and Benji (Probably Mack and Alex at some point too?? MAYBE EVEN TATUM? GOD WHO KNOWS.)
SETTING: The beach in front of the bar where Kia died on the anniversary of her death years later
CONTENT: NSFW PROBABLY
SUMMARY: Kia is drawn here for some reason and runs across Benji. TRAUMATIC DRAMA ENSUES.



She wasn't sure what had drawn her to this place among the tall grasses of the dunes. There was a bar behind her, the noise slowly drifting across the waving grass. Mack had told her once that this was where she died, and Kia thought it was a shame, it seemed so peaceful. It was a marvelous waste. Kia vaguely remembered that night, it seemed like a blurred dream to her now, something that may or may not have happened. She couldn't really imagine her life any other way than it was currently. She lived with Alex and Mackenzie, the tall blonde taking care of her more than her companion but Alex still had her moments.

It had taken some getting used to, being a vampire. There was the insatiable hunger for human blood that plagued her almost constantly. Mackenzie refused to feed on humans, and as Kia's creator had forced her to follow the same guidelines that she had been following since she had been turned as a kid. Alex, however, had taken Kia on a few different hunting trips, ones that Kia was quite fond of. Mack hadn't been too happy when she had found out, and Kia had felt guilty, really, she had. Nothing compared to human blood though, and as much as Kia had been trying to appease her creator, it was had to deny Alex's persuasive tendencies. She supposed that was what had brought her out here tonight. Mackenzie and Alex had gotten in a fight again, or rather, the tall blonde had caught them trying to sneak out the back door. Either way, Kia had felt guilty and had decided to leave the two older women to their argument (and what was sure to be destructive make up sex eventually), and wandered until she had found herself here.

She had sat and watched the waves roll in for an hour or so, lost in thought, wondering just what her old life had really been like. Mackenzie had told her a little bit about her family and friends, but she couldn't help but feel like there was more. The tall blonde had made it seem like her old life was terrible, and Kia truly believed that the woman was telling the truth. After all, she had been murdered. There had to be more to her life than that though, it was like the memories were right there just out of her grasp. The wind picked up, and Kia subconsciously drew her hoodie around her tighter. It had been a while since she had really felt the cold but old habits died hard. There was something else that the sudden gust of wind brought, and she gave the air a experimental sniff catching the familiar smell again. She wasn't quite sure what it was, but it was familiar, comforting. She stood up from her spot on the beach and began to follow it, the wiff of scent on the wind carrying her closer to the bar.

The music was louder here, and she could hear loud chatter from the open windows. The front of the place was deserted however, the patrons preferring the back porch with it's Christmas lights. There was a lone figure though, standing in the shadows of the parking lot, leaning against a beat up Jeep. Kia's eyes narrowed, and she circled around a few of the cars parked opposite to get a better look. It was a blonde girl, a very familiar looking blonde girl, the one that had let her die. Mack had showed her the tall gangly girl from a distance once, and as much as Kia felt a tug at her heart strings when she saw her, she knew that the blonde was responsible for her murder. She frowned, and stood in the shadows just watching the other girl. She wanted to jump her, drink her blood, make her pay for making her this way. Something held the brunette back, and she stayed hidden for just a few seconds longer until a pair of headlights flashed in her direction, illuminating her hiding spot for what seemed like eternity. She stepped back into the shadows as quickly as she could, for Mack had warned her against being seen by the blonde girl, but the damage was done.

It was hard to be back here, even after letting time go by. Someone, she decided, was lying with their advice; people said time healed all, but time didn't heal all wounds, not this one. Going to California was always their dream, but it was supposed to be all three of them. Kia was supposed to be a genius doctor to the stars, and she and Iz would just be beach bums. But that was the old plan, now they had to go it alone. She was glad to be finally moving out of Taylor's house, she knew what a burden she had been on her big sister and her growing family, but she was going to miss that security. Taylor and Izzy had been like her crutches since Kia died, and now she was hobbling away with just one crutch. Working for Roxy was a dream come true, she thought when they got to the west coast that maybe she could even talk someone into letting Izzy work with Billabong, she had already been planning how she'd scheme her way in, but it wasn't going to be the same without Kia.

Surfing all day, making money from it, but to spend on who? She would never have a family to spoil or provide for like Tay. Ben figured that she would be lucky if she didn't end up drinking it all away, a classic Sommer move. Her mother didn't really have a cent of her Quodpot money left now. It was only lucky that Sera had made Hunter invest some of it and hold onto it. Benji knew that generally speaking, her life was getting better now, she could rightfully move on. But it didn't feel right, especially in this bar, in this parking lot, it all felt like a big mistake. It was perverse to think she could get away from Kia and the memories here. Who was going to look after her without Tay around anyway? Who was going to cook and give her advice, and tell her to be strong? Izzy couldn't be her babysitter all the time for every little thing. It wasn't fair to him. It wasn't fair to Taylor either though, and so Ben knew she had to go. This was growing up, whether she fully embraced it or not, she was leaving the nest.

Pretty soon, Benji was pretty sure someone was going to come looking for her. It had been almost half an hour since she had ducked outside to take a call on her cell, checking in with the scout who had asked them to come to Cali in the first place, making sure things were still on track. It hadn't been a particularly long phone call, but Benji had been outside for a long time anyway, ignoring the slightly chilly air and just leaning back against her driver's side door, thinking. Her eyes were on her phone as she fiddled with it to kill time, not wanting to go inside again yet, bracing herself. She had told them she could do it, come back to this place even though so many bad things had happened here that night, but now she was shaking just remembering it. Being in the parking lot alone made her feel it and remember it like yesterday. She had an odd feeling of being watched, a chill up her spine, but she ignored it, still just playing with her phone and hunkering down against the side of the Jeep behind her. Ben didn't look up until a car a couple of spaces down started to pull out, and she looked up to make sure that it was no one she knew. This was her party, people would probably get bored and leave if she didn't get inside. Her eyes never found the car or the driver, however, because they were immediately drawn across from her when the headlights splashed across the parking lot and illuminated the cars across from her. And the familiar girl standing between them, watching Ben like an animal in a trap. It was clear just in her body language that the other hadn't wanted to be seen. Benji's legs almost fell from under her, she could feel blood draining from her face and her heart racing painfully her chest, but her hands and her grip went slack first, her phone dropping to the pavement with a smashing sound that didn't phase her. Her mouth was hanging open and she knew it, gaping like a fish.
