[ it all begins with a graveyard.
katherine's not one for sentimentality. she doesn't visit graves, even though she's had a knack for putting people in them. but she takes to the cemetery at the beginning of the month, not quite sure what she's expecting. she certainly doesn't anticipate forgetting her cat's name a few days later.
she stands in the kitchen, looking at her black feline who sits on the counter and licks at her paws without a care in the world. the white dog's lying down on the kitchen floor, rolling about until he settles. and when he starts to bark, she clicks her fingers. he doesn't stop. ]
Stop it… dog.
[ that doesn't help, either. but for the life of her, she can't remember his name. did he even have one? ]

[ wanda thinks she's funny dressing up as samantha from bewitched as a witch. a witch wearing a witch wearing a witch is witchception—and she thinks that's freaking hilarious.
after daring amos to dress up for halloween—it's the only time of the year where he can be someone else without any judgement—and winning by seeing him all dressed up, wanda decides it's only fair that they go to the festival. after all, isn't that the fun of halloween? attending things that you wouldn't normally go to and being someone you're usually not?
as she leaves with amos from his apartment, she readjusts her black witch's hat and smiles up at him. ]
Do you know Samantha?

No.
( he doesn't know samantha. and even if he did, he thinks he'd say no because he's distracted by his own damn costume, the robot suit making him a little stiff but it's not terrible.
he doesn't know why he's done this though besides her dare. )
Who's Samantha?

Who's Samantha?
[ to hide her embarrassment, katherine plants her hands on her hips and regards stefan with raised brows. ]
He's a dog, isn't he? It's not new.
[ the dog doesn't do anything other than pant softly and twitch his ears. ]

[ katherine sighs as the glow in her hand stops burning brightly. she stops where she is and slouches her shoulders. ]
It's dimmed again.
[ when she turns on her foot to go back where she had come from, it begins to glow brighter. she can easily see amos' silhouette through the bright glow, although his glow doesn't seem to be burning too hot in the direction he's testing.
since finding herself in the woods, katherine's tried to use her senses and the object in her hand to find her way back home. she's been trying to find breadcrumbs along the floor of the woods, but it seems that the creatures have gotten to them long before she has. her only saving grace has been finding amos, his glow, and him being as utterly lost as she is. ]

[ hadn't wanda posed this theory to stefan an hour or so ago? she'd thought the glowing pieces were a part of a puzzle and had diligently followed them, letting them lead the way to what she had hoped to be the exit. but now she stood with a compass in hand.
when the dragon's head begins to move, wanda peers over at stefan with wide uncertain eyes. ]
What do you think? We follow?
[ she's never met a good dragon before. ]

She's a witch who wriggles her nose to do her magic.
[ wanda wriggles her nose for emphasis, although nothing happens. while there's obviously more to samantha than that, that's not what wanda wants to share. it'll simply overwhelm him… and wanda, despite being a pain in the ass at times, doesn't want to make amos feel more on edge than he already does.
she smiles at him. ]
We should've brought you a little oil can.
[ okay, so, maybe she wants to pick on him just a little. ]

Just know that if you poke too much, I'm taking it off.
( he'd only done this because he was trying to be nice, see if it made her smile. he'd never dressed up for anything like this before. )
I feel like I look stupid.

Super.
( amos doesn't much care for all this. he just wants to find his way out of the woods and go home, have a drink. but he's been lost for a long fucking time and he doesn't know what else to do besides follow these damn lights.
at least katherine's here? but she seems to be pretty lost herself so...maybe it's not as good a thing as it usually would be. )
I'm not gonna die in these woods.

[ feeling flustered, she turns away from stefan and the dog and waves her hand. she opens a top cupboard and begins to rifle through it as a distraction. ]
I call him 'dog' sometimes.
[ it reminds him of what he is! ]

[ she shakes her head and peers over her shoulder at him. ]
Vasilka's upstairs sleeping on your pillow again.
[ it looks like he's going to have to go and de-fur that thing later.
katherine turns back to the cupboard and stands on the tips of her toes. ] I may have encouraged it.

Uh. I was...
[ katherine may continue to rummage around in the top cupboard, but she can't recall what she was looking for and why. was it a cup for water? no; she doesn't want to grab a cup from here.
resting her hands on the edge of the shelf, she frowns as she looks inside it. ]
I don't remember.

[ closing the cupboard door, she turns to face him with an amused smile. she chuckles. ] I've forgotten one thing, Stef. Everyone forgets one thing from time to time.
[ while she may be perfect most of the time, even katherine allows herself to have flaws every now and then. ]

[ katherine turns to face him and rests her hand gently against his cheek. she tilts her head to the side and smiles at him. ]
I like that you think I'm perfect all the time, but sometimes even I like to have flaws so I can have more in common with you.

I'm in the kitchen because I wanted to get something from the kitchen.
[ and she doesn't remember what that is, which is completely normal! withdrawing her hand, she sidesteps him and walks away from the cupboards to deem that this little excursion is coming to a close. ]
It's not like I haven't forgotten why I've walked into a room before.

[ katherine squatted and brushed her fingers through the dog's fur. she scritched his ear as she turned to stefan and cocked her brow. ]
What about him? [ if she's touching the dog, clearly there's no problem here. ] He seems pretty happy now.
