The Balance

Chapter 6

Dear Diary,

So much has changed since I last wrote, my whole life has been a lie.

Turns out the brothers I mourned for a century are alive, Niklaus lied to me. My heart is broken that the man I loved led me to believe I was alone.

Whenever I think of him lying to me my blood boils, yet my heart is aching for him.

That being said even with Klaus gone he is still ruining everything. Stefan's humanity is still off and he's is still a douche. Elena has not given up on looking for a way to "save him." Damon is looking for Mikeal, the evil of all evil.

Matt unleashed witches onto the down and almost got everyone killed, thank God for Bonnie, sealing the door to the other side for good. The only good thing was Damon found a cave that holds the true story of what happened over 1000 years ago when the originals were made.

The only highlight of my life is homecoming is next week and I can't wait to go to my first high school dance, even if that means dealing with Rebekah and her nagging "how do I look."

forever and always,

Allison

"How do you feel?" I ask Tyler as we walk into school. I have been waiting for him to ask me about homecoming for the past week.

"Great," He smiles at me, "Better than I have felt since I broke my werewolf curse."

I bite my lip as we get to my locker, "How are you handling the..cravings" my voice is soft so no one can hear.

He shrugs, "good, Rebekah gave me some blood bags."

I quit turning my locker dial, "Rebekah?"

"Yeah, Klaus left her here to watch over me." He opens his arms, "first hybrid and all."

I nodded, as I put my bag into my lock and shut it. "You need to be careful with her, she can not be trusted."

"Relax, I know how to handle myself." He smirks at me.

"So," I bite my lip, "Are you going to the dance?"

"Homecoming?" He asks as if there are a million other dances going on this week.

I nod, "I was curious if you...." before I could finish, a freshman boy runs into me and I fall into the locker.

"HEY!" Tyler shoves the poor kid into the locker next to me. "Watch it!"

The kid stutters, "I am s-s-sorry."

"Tyler what the hell!" I grab his arm and yank him away, "You're fine," I look at the young boy and smile. He scurries away.

"What the hell was that?" I stare at Tyler in disbelief.

"Klaus told me to watch over you, I can't let some Freshman punk run into."

"Klaus? Since when do you take orders from him?" I narrow my eyes at him, my phone rings.

"I don't take orders from anyone." He bites back.

"Looks like you do." I turn away to answer it and leave Tyler alone. "Yes, Damon?"

"Meet me outside little sis, we are on babysitting duty today." Damon hangs the phone.

--------------------------------------------------------------

We enter a bar where music is playing way too loud for my taste. "I have to check on Elena." Damon pulls out his phone. "I'll be at the bar," Stefan announces, and I follow his lead.
