The Reckoning
The night before the new school year begins, Matt trains in the weight room in the empty building, or so he thinks, when he hears a noise that makes him stop and get up from the weight bench. He walks through the dark, creepy hallways, finally comes to a classroom, and carefully opens the door, setting off more noise. He switches on the light to see a lot of mouse traps at his feet and looks up to see his friends, Tyler, Caroline, Elena and Bonnie, sitting around the room. "Ohh! Oh, come on! Seriously?!" Caroline complains, throwing her arms in the air in exasperation. "Do you know how long it took for us to set all this up?!"
"Forget about senior prank night, huh?" Tyler asks his best friend, rolling his eyes.
"Clearly," Matt replies, his heartbeat growing slower now that he knows he's not in a horror movie.
"How could you forget?" Caroline exclaims, looking at her boyfriend and ex-boyfriend in disbelief.
"Yeah, Matt. If I'm doing this, you're doing this," Elena tells him, rolling her eyes at the overexcited blond Vampire.
"I'm kind of surprised any of you are doing this," Matt replies, looking at his friends and thinking about their troubling summer.
"Caroline's making us," Bonnie answers simply, smiling at her bubbly blond friend.
"We're about to be seniors," Caroline argues. "These are the memories that stay with us forever, and if we don't..."
"And if you don't create these memories now, then what's the point of it all?" Elena finishes, having heard this before.
"Go ahead and make fun; I don't care," She replies, smiling. It hurts a little, though she knows it's only light teasing.
"You're all lame. And I've got ten more classrooms to prank," Tyler announces, jumping from the table and taking his bag before leaving, and Elena decides to join him in leaving the classroom.
"Hey! Where are you going?" The blond Vampire questions, looking at her friend as she walks to the classroom door.
"To superglue Alaric's desk shut. I'm making memories," Elena replies with a cheeky grin.
"I love you!" Caroline shouts after her with a bright smile as Elena walks outside to see Tyler with other students to give them instructions to cover the whole school.
"Get the faculty toilet seats, and Dana needs bodies in the gym. Let's go," Tyler instructs, giving them some equipment to help; Elena watches and can't help but laugh before heading down the hallway, opening a set of double doors and coming face to face with Klaus.
"There's my girl," Klaus smirks, making Lorilei scoff, still feeling the brunt of his anger for lying to him.
"Klaus!" Elena gasps, spotting the Siphon. "Lorilei!" She looks at the dark-haired woman dressed in all black and dark red lips.
