Wildfire- The Vampire Diaries {Book 1}

08- Isobel

Dear Diary,

It's been a rough few days. One problem after another, just piling on top of each other and becoming more and more stressful as they come along. There's still a lingering problem of Klaus showing up from nowhere. We don't know what he looks like at all, so he could just turn up and take Elena and I at any time and nobody would be able to stop him. Isaac and Katherine are still a small problem, but now that Katherine is still locked in the tomb and Isaac is now locked up in the basement of Stefan and Damon's house, weak from the vervain that Stefan injected in him... they aren't so much of a problem anymore. And, to add on to all of this, there is a family of witches who are working with Elijah. They want to hand me and Elena over to Klaus so that they can get someone from their family back.

All of this on top of Jenna continuously asking Alaric about his wife, Isobel, who's Elena's mother. She's alive, well, sort of anyway. Isobel is a vampire, and when everyone thought she was dead, she wasn't. Apparently she came back to Mystic Falls last year to see Elena, but I didn't see her. By the sounds of how things went, I'm glad. She sounds like a bitch.

And I'm still shaken up after everything that happened with that guy. The one who tried to kidnap me. I found out that on the exact same night, at around the same time, Elena was almost kidnapped by a werewolf. And Rick was killed by one of them. Luckily he came back to life with the ring that he wore, which protects him from death by a supernatural being. If he hadn't, then things would be even more complicated than they are now, having to lie to Jenna about how it happened.

I just don't want to lose anyone that I care about. I want us to all escape this ordeal with Klaus alive, and for everything to be happy from there. Except, I know that it will just keep on getting worse. People will die, people will get hurt, and people will leave. That's just the way things are for us.

"Yes, Jeremy. I'm okay. Seriously, you don't need to check up on me every five minutes. I can survive."

Jeremy has been doing nothing but checking up on me since I got back home after the whole ordeal with Isaac. He won't let me out of his sight. This is just another case of the 'Overprotective Older Brother Syndrome', Elena's the same, she just won't stop asking me if I'm alright. If it's not Jeremy, it's Elena. And if it's not Elena or Jeremy, then it's Stefan or someone else.

"I do need to check up on you. You almost died the other night with Isaac. I can't let that happen again."

"Jeremy, what are you gonna do if Klaus comes for me? He could kill you. I'm not gonna let that happen to you."

It's nice to know that I have someone looking out for me... Well, a lot of people. I just feel bad that everyone is doing so much and risking their lives just to keep me and Elena safe. Caroline, Bonnie, Jeremy, Stefan, Damon, and Alaric. And Elena would probably risk her life to keep me safe, although I'd do the same for her. It's just the thought that everyone I care about could die and it would be because of me. That's what I fear most.

"Then I'm still gonna do what I can to try and keep you safe."

"Jeremy, you know I wouldn't let you die for me. It's not happening."

"You're my little brother, I have to-"

I interrupt him, "by literally like ten months. And anyway. We don't even know if Klaus will show up anywhere."

Bonnie walks into the room now, sitting herself at the other side of me. "What are you two arguing about now?"

"You're all so willing to die for me. I don't like it. I don't want you all to feel obliged to get yourself killed in order to stop me from dying."
