Lorelai's Diaries / The Vampire Diaries

Chapter 19: Alar-Klaus

It's been a few days now and we've got the sixties decade dance tonight. I'm helping Caroline put the whole dance together but surprisingly she gave me a lunch break. I can see Elena and Bonnie sitting at our normal table. "Hey, ladies." I say, sitting down. ""Hey!" They both say. "How's the planning going with Caroline?" Elena asks. "Not bad actually. She gave me a break, thank God. So... what are you guys dressing as tonight? I'm going full twiggy makeup, a blouse, a front button up dress. It's gonna be perfect." I say. "Stefan told me he might have something for me. So i'll just pick something from him." Elena tells me. "I got a dress from Party City. It's got a belt, oh and I found some colored go-go boots at the thrift store.'' Bonnie says.

"Hey, Elena, there you are." A girl from our class says walking over to us. "Okay, this is gonna sound freaky but this totally hot guy just asked me to ask you if you're going to dance tonight." We all let out a little chuckle. "Tell him she has a boyfriend." Bonnie states annoyed. "You could at least meet him. He'll be at the dance tonight. Look for him. His name is Klaus." All of our faces drop. "I'm sorry. W-what did you just say?" Elena asks. "His name's Klaus? I know that name's stupid but I swear he's hot."
"Where is he? Is he here?" I ask her casually, looking around the cafeteria. "I don't know." The girl says. "She's been compelled." Bonnie says softly. "But he wants to know if you'll save him the last dance. How cute is that?" The girl continues. "So cute. Tell him she'll see him there." I say to get the girl away.

Bonnie, Elena and I go the boarding house to tell Stefan and Damon. "So we go to the dance. We find him." Damon says. "Really? How're we going to do that? We don't even know what he looks like." Stefan counters. "Something tells me he's not going to be sixteen and pimply. Besides, Lori knows what he looks like. Don't you El?"

The hell is that nick name.

"You know what he looks like?" Stefan asks. Everyone is staring at me waiting for my answer. "Uh, yeah. He was in one of those ancestor dream, memory things I had recently." I tell them. "What's he look like then?" Bonnie asks. "Tall, skinny, white dude. I mean he has, like a chiseled face, some scruff, fluffy light brown hair, and a similar eyebrow thing that Damon does."

There's a knock at the door. Alaric opens it. Why did he knock? "There you are." Damon says to him. "I'm sorry I'm late." Alaric answers. "Hey, I need you to put me down as a chaperone at the dance tonight. Klaus made his first move." Damon tells him. "Okay, so we find him and then what, hmm? What's our plan of attack?" Elena says not convinced. "Me. I'm the plan. He has no idea how much power I can channel. If you can find him, I can kill him." Bonnie announces confidently. "That's not going to be that easy. I mean, he is the biggest baddest vampire around." Alaric laughs at her. "Alaric has a point. I mean what if he…" Damon tries to sneak up on Bonnie. Bonnie throws him away with her magic. He ends up sprawled across the floor. "Well, I was impressed." Stefan speaks. "It doesn't matter if he's an Original. I can take down anyone who comes at me. I can kill him, Elena. I know I can." Bonnie explains.

At home I get ready for tonight's decades dance. I put my twiggy inspired outfit and makeup on and walk downstairs. "Better get any pictures now if you want them." I tell her. "Oh my gosh! Look at you! Do a spin." She hypes me up. I do a spin and roll my eyes. "Hurry, I'm gonna be late." Jenna gets her pictures and I take my keys and drive over to the school.

Getting out of my car I hear, "Twiggy. I like it." Damon. "Decided to go all out. You ready for tonight?" I say. He gives me a nod.

A slow song is playing as we enter the room side by side "Thanks for being here everybody." The girl from earlier announces over the mic. People clap and cheer. "We have a special shout-out tonight. This is for Elena… from Klaus." I look around the room for him. The song, This Is Dedicated To The One I Love by The Mama's & The Papa's starts playing. "That was a lame, cheap shot. He's just trying to bait us." Damon says, unimpressed. "I know everyone here." Elena states. "Maybe he's not here. He just wants us to believe that he is." Stefan thinks. "It's a party, people. Blend. Let him come to us." Damon urges. "Good idea." Bon surprisingly agrees and takes Jeremy's hand. "No, no. I-I really don't feel like dancing." He complains. "Too bad." Bonnie tells him and drags him away. "There's Ric. We'll be back." Damon says and holds my hand to drag me to Ric. When we get there, "Special dedication, huh? This guy's a little twisted." Alaric says. "I'm not impressed." Damon says. "No?"
"Let me know if you see anything out of whack." Damon tells him then drags me to the dance floor.
