The Diary of Mia Salvatore [AU]

32. Hostile Takeover

Liv and Tyler were waiting for us and I felt an uneasy feeling inside like something was wrong. "You took your sweet time!" Liv said while rolling her eyes and it my insides boil with anger.

Jeremy reached for my hand and aqeezed it while smiling at me. "Relax, blonde witch, we're here, aren't we?" I asked in annoyance. Honestly, I couldn't stand Liv.

Matt stood next to Tyler. "Why exactly are we here? It's not like we're all friends." I chuckled at his statement and Liv scoffed in annoyance.

Liv walked to a table that had a map, a crystal and some herbs on it. Clearly she was getting ready for a spell. "We have an enemy in common." She looked at me with a serious expression. "The Travelers." She pointed to the map. "So we need to stop them from taking over Mystic Falls."

"But how? They've been one step ahead of us this whole time." Jeremy said in frustration.

Liv raised and eyebrow and glanced at Tyler. "We have something they want. Tyler."

I was so confused by this point. The Travelers were after my brother and Elena, but they also wanted Tyler. For what? "This is just a big mess!" I exclaimed in frustration.

Jeremy looked at me and Liv nodded. "They need a hybrid and the only one in Mystic Falls is Tyler." She sighed. "The Other Side is collapsing and that's exactly what they want. The Travelers find the Other Side an abomination. Something created to mess with the nature's balance."

"And it was created by Qetsiyah, Bonnie's ancestor." I added and now everything made sense. Bonnie was the Anchor. If the Other Side disappears, then she dies along with it. I really hate those Travelers!

Matt and I decided to go to the Grill while Jeremy went to Bonnie to tell her about what we learned from Liv. "I thought Silas was annoying but the Travelers are way worse." I stated while in the truck with Matt. "They're like some sort of hippies who are obsessed with the natural order of things."

"This is all messed up!" Matt said before stopping his truck. "There's something on the road."

We got off the truck and walked towards the person laying on the road. "What the hell..." I noticed it was someone from the Other Side and gasped. "Matt get inside the truck and drive." I demanded but he looked at me confused. "Go! We have company from the Other Side."

A few other dead supernatural beings showed up and started attacking me. "Mia!" Matt yelled in panic.

"I'm fine! Just leave and call Jeremy." A vampire shoved me against the truck and the windshield broke. My back was hurting and I could feel glass embedded on my neck. The same vampire approached me and held a tight grip on my throat. "I killed you once so I'm pretty sure I can do it again." I kicked the vampire in the stomach and realized Matt was being attacked by a pack of hybrids.

Matt was bleeding and looked really hurt. The hybrids were growling while trying to intimidate my friend. "You're about to die." One of them said.

"Not so fast!" I said while ripping his head. The other ones came at me and I soved both my hands on two hybrids, ripping their hearts out like Klaus did last year. One jumped at me but I was able to gain the upper hand and smashed him in the head. After killing all the hybrids, I glanced at Matt and he was badly hurt. He had cuts and bruises all over his body and was bleeding profusely. "Matt!" I crouched beside him and bit my wrist to feed him my blood. He wasn't drinking any of my blood so I started cradling his body. "Come on, Matt! Drink so you can heal." He opened his mouth slightly, allowing the blood to enter his system and he opened his blue eyes.

"Thank you, Mia." He smiled slightly and I could fear a tear streaming down my face.

I smiled at my friend. "You still need to go to the hospital but you'll live." I was able to put him in the back of the truck and drove to the hospital to keep him safe for now. The Other Side is so unstable right now.

As soon as I arrived home, I grabbed a bottle of scotch and laid on the couch. My wounds were not healing as fast as usual and I was in a lot of people. Matt went home after being seen by a doctor. At least I saved his life. Damon walked in and sat at the end of the couch where my legs were. "What happened?" He asked with a serious tone and looked at my face. "Were you in a fight?"

I nodded and took a sip from my drink. "Those bastards from the Other Side attacked me and Matt."

Damon sighed and leaned his head on the couch. "Now we have to worry about the Travelers, the Other Side and the entire universe."

I raised an eyebrow and eyed him in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"Markos told me the universe was doing everything to keep Elena and Stefan together." My brother shook his head. "That's not a good sign for me so I decided to hate the universe."

I chuckled. "Well, the universe can suck it cause Elena is madly in love with you." I took a big gulp from the bottle and handed it to Damon.

My brother took the bottle and took a sip. "Right now, I need to find a way to keep Elena safe but I'm hurt because she told me her visions about Stefan were like heaven to her." He furrowed his eyebrows. "I love her but maybe her life would have been netter if I never fell for her."

"Damon, you made her life more interesting." I sat down next to him and looked right into his blue eyes. "You showed her what true love is all about." I smiled. "You're the only one who can giver that exciting feeling, the craving for something more. She deserves a guy who will bend over backwards just to protect her." I sighed. "You're that guy!" He smiled at me and leaned his head on mine.
