   "I hate everything in my closet. I have nothing to wear to homecoming." Elena tells Bonnie and I.
   "Then, don't go. Let's stay home order take out and over analyze ancients hieroglyphic thingies with Alaric." Bonnie says and I laugh.
   "We have to go. Caroline will kill us." Elena says.
   "Oh, Caroline actually has date." Bonnie says.
   "I'm going and I don't have a date." I tell her.
   "You could get back together with Hunter." Elena says.
   "One: He's god knows where, and two: He was my first love, but I'm not in love with him anymore." I tell her and she turns back to her closet. "What was that?" I ask her and she turns around looking guilty.
   "He's actually back in town. He got in last night." She tells me.
   "Oh." I say. "You know that you can talk to us about Jeremy, right?" I ask Bonnie and Elena nods.
   "I don't need to talk about it. He fell in love with his ghost girlfriend and lied about it. What's done is done." She tells us.
   "You have to talk about it. He hurt you, Bonnie. I'm mad at him too." Elena says.
   "You're mad at your little brother. You'll yell at him a little, teach him a life lesson. You can't really be mad like I'm mad. And you shouldn't have to be. He's your brother. So no, I can't really talk to you about it." She tells us.
We nod and then talk about random things.
   "I need to go my to my apartment and get ready. I'll meet you at the dance tonight?" I ask them and they nod. I leave and make my way home. When I get there take a shower and do my make up. My hair is too short to do much with but I put it into messy bun. I put on my dress it's like a burgundy and it's a high low dress (up above) and my black heels. I get in my car and drive to the school. When I get there there's a huge flood and a crowd waiting. The dance is being cancelled so I make my way to my car.
   "Hey, Phoebe. I'm moving the party to my house. Just meet us there." Tyler tells me as he walks past.
   "Okay, I'll see you there." I tell him and get in my car. I wait there for a little while and get my shit together. I make my way to his house and when I get there it's already packed. He has a band and drinks and it's like it was planned. I get inside and grab a beer. The band goes silent in the back for a few minutes but I can't hear what's going on over the chatter of everyone inside. I walk around aimlessly for about 15 minutes.
    "Hello, love." I hear behind me. I turn around Klaus is less than a foot away from me. I stare at him and walk closer. I bring my hands to his face to see if he's real.
   "You're really here." I say and he smiles.
   "I am." He says and then I slap him across the face.
   "That's for being a world class asshole." I tell him and then he turns to look at me with a smile.
   "I deserved that." He says.
   "Yes, you did. You just left. No word, no warning, you couldn't even pick up the damn phone and call me back. Did you even get any of my messages?" I ask him.
   "I did." He says with a smirk.
   "Now, you're an even bigger asshole." I tell him and he just chuckles and looks down.
   "I needed some time away after you lied to me all summer."  He tells me.
   "I- I kept one secret, Okay? Everything else, that was real. You would know that if you listened to my voicemails. What are you even doing here?" I ask him and he immediately looks confused.
   "My father is dead." He tells me.
  "Mikael is dead?" I ask him.
   "Yes, Stefan called me and told me the great news." He says.
   "That is good. Excuse me, I need to find Elena. She'll start to worry. Find me later though?" I ask him and he nods.
   "I'm expecting a dance." He tells me and I smile at him.
   "Yeah, of course." I say with a laugh. I walk away in search of Elena. I can't find her anywhere. I search through the house. I search the back. I eventually find myself back inside and make my way upstairs. Maybe she sought refuge in a room. I look in Tyler's room and see Matt holding a passed out Caroline.
   "What the hell happened?" I ask him and go to check if she's okay.
   "Tyler said something is going down with Klaus. But he's two steps ahead." Matt tells me.
   "They're using Mikael to draw him out." I whisper.
   "What?" He asks.
   "I-I have to go." I tell him. "Just get her home please." I tell Matt and he nods. I rush down the stairs as quietly as I could. I go to turn the corner and hear voices. It's Elena, Klaus and a voice I don't know, that must be Mikael.
   "Nobody cares about you anymore boy. Who do you have other than those whose loyalty you've forced?" I hear who I believe is Mikael say. I look and see he's outside holding Elena, but there's something off. I pull out my phone and dial Elena's number.
   "Hello? Phoebe?" She answers and this 'Elena' is not on the phone.
   "Katherine." I say in realization. I watch it fold out and Mikael stabs Elena/Katherine. Damon rushes in and stabs Niklaus. I run into the room with tears in my eyes. We make eye contact and it breaks my heart. The sound of bombs exploding pulls me away and I see Katherine standing outside. Stefan tackles Damon and the stake gets rolled across the room. I pick it up and I look over at Klaus. I throw it to him and he runs out and stakes his dad. I run to the door and see his dad is now on fire. Nik just stands over him watching it.
   "What the hell did you two do?" Damon asks us.
   "He's earned his freedom." Nik says walking in and I turn and smile at him. Stefan stands up and walks over to him. "Thank you, my friend. You no longer have to do as I say. You're free." He compels Stefan. I look back and Damon is gone. I turn back and now Stefan is gone.
  "Damn, how I would love vampire speed." I say and look up at Klaus. "Are you okay?" I ask him.
   "Of course I am, love. My dad is dead. All is right in the world." He tells me.
   "What Mikael said before. About no one caring about you. Most people think your an ass, me included. Some people think you're a monster. But I know the real you. You are so much more than anyone knows Nik." I say and I place my hands on his cheeks. He places his hands over my hands and smiles at me.
   "You truly are a wonder." He tells me and I smile.
  "Are you staying?" I ask him.
  "Yeah, I'm not going anywhere sweetheart." He tells me and I smile at him.
  "Good, I'll need to go home. I have a mess I need to clean up. Do me a favor and don't kill any of my friends. They can't kill you now and it might smooth things over for me if we made a deal." I tell him and he sighs. "Please.... I saved your life." I say in a sing song voice and he smiles and rolls his eyes.
   "Okay, none of your friends pathetic lives will end tonight." He tells me and I smile up at him.
   "You really are the best." I say and kiss him. "You should come by the apartment later. I'll be there and you can sneak in through my window." I tell him and he laughs.
   "I'll be there." He says and I kiss him again before I leave. When I get home I see my dad sitting at the counter and I close the door as soft as possible snd try to sneak to my room.
   "Stop, right there young lady." He says and I turn around with a smile.
  "Hey, dad. How was your night?" I ask him as I walk over to him.
  "That won't work on me. Damon already called me. Said you saved Klaus." He says. "Why did you save him?" He asks me.
   "Look, this is going to be really hard to understand. But as you're the only living parent I have left... and I need I hope you can overcome this." I say and he looks at me and nods. "Ok, there's two reasons. The first is, Klaus was going to kill them. I mean he was  steps ahead and he's an original. The second reason is, my past life. I have read almost all of Naomi's journals. She talks about a wonderful, sweet, funny guy. And, I mean, he is that guy around me. And I really like him." I tell my dad and I wait for the screaming.
   "Are you serious?! The oldest vampire in the world and that's the guy you want to go for?!" He starts to yell. He sits on the couch and puts his head in his hands. After a few minutes he looks back up at me. "I can't support this. I need you to know that." He tells me and I nod as tears threaten to spill from my eyes. "But, you're my daughter, and I've already missed to much of your life to want to miss anymore." He tells me and I smile at him.
   "So you're not mad?" I ask him.
   "I don't understand it. But, I guess I'll just have to wait for you to figure out what a raging psycho he is." He tells me and I laugh as the tears spill.
  "He's really not that bad, Dad." I tell him and he pulls me in for a hug. "Thank you." I tell him and he hugs me tighter. "I'm gonna take a shower and go to bed." I say and he nods and kisses the top of my head. He lets me go and I take a quick shower. I walk into my room in robe and my hair up in a towel. Klaus is sitting there on my bed. I gasp and race to my door.
"Goodnight, dad." I say and he returns a goodnight. I close my door and turn back to him. He looks at me and smirks when he sees I'm only in a robe he gets up and walks over to me. "I have to get dressed." I say and he smile and motions for me to do so. "Turn around." I tell him and he does so. I grab my sweatpants and a t-shirt. I tap on his shoulder and he turns around again. "Hi." I say and he pulls me into him for a kiss.
"Hello, love." He says, I look into his eyes in his eyes and he looks frustrated.
"Are you ok?" I ask him.
"Yeah, I don't want to talk about that tonight." He says and I nod. "I just want to be with you." He says and I smile and I pull him to my bed. I lay down and he moves his arm around my shoulders and I move my head onto his chest. I quickly fall asleep, but just before I feel him kiss the top head and whisper, "I love you." I smile slightly and nuzzle more into his chest.
