Endless Souls

December 16th

Dear Diary,

                      I won't sleep tonight. Last night was the last night I sleep until I fall into my eternal slumber, trapped on the other side forever. Uncle Klaus let me paint this morning. I'm pretty good. I painted a fallen angel rising from her cell, finally getting to be free at last. He was impressed and luckily didn't asked its meaning. It's a metaphor of me, a fallen angel in her cell. I stole a drink of bourbon while Grandpa wasn't looking, then I looked through my pictures. Tomorrow I turn 18, tomorrow I die. But it's to save my family, the people I love. My whole family means more then the world to me. I miss them. I feel so alone, but I'm not. I'm just regrettably miserable over Seth. But that's what had to be done, so I need to convince myself that I'm protecting him. After this is all over, it won't really matter anyways will it? I guess there's nobody to answer that. Nobody knows. I'm changing that. After I do the boundary spell so nobody supernatural can get in or out, I'm telling my mom and dad and everyone. It's the right thing.

Elizabeth M. Salvatore

I gently put my diary aside and I go downstairs.

"We're leaving at 2:00." I nod.

"You'll be fine."

"I know."

"Is this about the boy? Seth?"

"I love him. Now he won't remember me. Of course it's about him. He needs to be protected he's only human."

"You know that you can turn him into a vampire right?"

"No. I'm too dangerous for him. Hopefully he'll move on and find a normal human girl. I can't give him the life he deserves and that isn't fair to him."

"Well, for us it was your grandmother's choice. She loved me and still loves me so she made the choice to be with me forever."

"Do you ever regret it?"

"Not a moment I've regretted being with your Grandmother. She's the love of my life and I want to be with her for the rest of eternity."

"I've always loved you two's love story. So romantic."

"I don't have conflicting things on my mind. It's always about her 24/7."

"Did Uncle Stefan?" He nods.

"It only took me about 4 years but she fell in love with me." I nod and I think about him.

"You can make him remember you."

"I know."

"Will you?"

"Yes. I will." No, tomorrow is not the day I die. I will fight for love, because even if I have power, love is the strongest magic there is- and I'm going to use it. I'm still putting up the boundary and I'm killing those Travelers but I will not die.

I won't do it for mom or dad or anyone.

Except Seth, who is keeping me alive with his love.

"I have to go to him." I grab my coat and I flash to his house. Good, his car is still here. I knock on the door then I wait. Seth appears shirtless and I smile at him.

"You will remember everything I made you forget." He closes his eyes and in a few moments, they open and he smiles at me.

"I remember you." I press my lips to his and when we pull away, I lean my forehead gently against his.

"I love you, Seth."

"I love you Elizabeth. You're my everything, my one true love." I start thinking.

And I wish I don't.

"If you could spend an eternity with me, would you?"

"Yes. I will always love you."

"There is a way for you to be with me, forever."

"Tell me."

"I'm a vampire. I know you remember that now. You can drink my blood, then you die then you'll wake up a vampire. We can be together forever."

"But you said that you would die."

"No. I'm determined to stay alive for you. They say that the most powerful magic is love." He smiles.

"Do it."

"Come on." I take his hand and I flash us to the Mikelson place.

"I'll introduce you to 3 of my crazy family members." He laughs then we go inside, his fingers laced with mine. Grandpa still sits at the table in the kitchen and I smile at him.

"Seth, this is my Grandfather, Damon Salvatore."

"He doesn't look that old..."

"That's because he's a vampire."

"Oh."

"Nice to meet you Seth."

"Pleasure Mr. Salvatore."

"You can call me Damon." Seth nods and we go into the living room where Uncle Klaus and Uncle Damien are watching TV.

"Seth, these two are my Uncles. The one with the reddish brown hair is Klaus and the one with the raven hair is Damien." He waves and they smile. We go upstairs.

"This is my temporary room."

"How does this work?"

"What?"

"Me becoming a vampire." I bite my wrist.

"Drink." He sips a little bit of my blood and pulls back.

"Now what?" We both sit down on the bed and I take his hand.

"I promise you this won't hurt." I quickly snap his neck then I pull him further onto the bed.

He wakes up after about 2 hours.

"Elizabeth." I smile at him and he sits up.

"Drink this." I hand him a blood bag and he opens it. Veins crawl down his face and he eagerly sucks it down. I take it out of his hands and I smile at him.

"Now I get to show you the perks." I have him stand facing me then I flash behind him.

"Whoa." I tap his shoulder and he turns and smiles at me.

"That's what we call vamp speed. Now push off with every ounce of energy you have." He does and tackles me to the ground. I laugh and he laughs with me. I smile at him and he brushes a strand of hair out of my face.

"C'mon." We go downstairs and we walk to the barber's. We go inside.

"What is that?"

"I know. That's hunger. You just need to learn to control it. Focus on me and ignore it." He nods and sits down. He squeezes my hand and I give him a gentle squeeze. He stops tensing and I get up. They give me my normal, cutting it down to the middle of my neck. Seth and I go out of the barbers and we head back to the Mikelson Manor.

"You did so good. I'm proud."

"What's my prize?"

"Later." I whisper. We go inside and I smile.

"I love your hair when it's short."

"Thanks." Grandpa smiles at us and Seth and I both blood bags. We dance around to Best Day of My Life by American Authors. I love this song. Then it's Problem by Ariana Grande. It's my happy playlist, something Wendy, Quinn and I could dance around.

Seth and I dance around to music and some light making out takes place. Soon it's 2:45 and it's time to get ready.

You're going to live. You'll marry Seth and have kids and live a long and happy life. I smile at this thought and I go to the border of Mystic Falls, where we're supposed to meet our family.
