Minus the white gloves.

Dear, diary

I haven't written recently but that's because a lot of things have been happening and I haven't been able to write anything.

Elena is adopted and knows who her mom and dad are.

We found out Mason was murdered by vampires. And not just any vampires. Damon Salvatore.

Tyler who is now a werewolf talked to Jules and found out about there being more vamps in town.

Stefan came over and talked to Tyler while Jules had Caroline. Jules wanted to trade them so she could help Tyler. Of course, they got Caroline back and Tyler was free but Caroline was pissed at Tyler.

Then, Tyler left with Jules but I don't really mind I mean he needs them and I'm perfectly fine hanging here. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

Dinner was then held where Elijah went only to get daggered but of course, he came back because my stupid loveable idiot friends pulled it out. So when Elijah went looking for Elena and Stefan who went on a trip to her lake house they re-daggered him and placed him in a basement.

Then it was the historical society event where Elena accepted the Miranda Sommers-Gilbert donation fund but her father John got bitten by her mother.

So, I have been staying out of most of this because they don't need me and I'm getting closer and closer to having my baby girl. I can't do much except shop and clean up the nursery, Tyler and I made together.

I've also been looking into the Originals and the stories. I've gone to a few colleges to meet people who said the knew things about witches, vampires, the Originals, travelers, and werewolves. And even a little bit about some old dude named Silas. But I mainly listened to the information I needed which was werewolves and the Originals.

I think that's about all.

Love, Isabel

"I've missed you," Isabel said as she snuggles closer to Kol's body. "The party was boring, I was just waiting to get out," she said as she stuffed her face in his warm chest.

Kol smiled down at her and rubbed the back of her head. "How are you feeling now?" He stopped his movements when she lifted her head to smile at him.

"Better now that you're here," Isabel said but the last part was slightly muffled due to her yawning. She soon drifted off to sleep making Kol laugh to himself he looked down at his girl. Slowly, he put one hand behind his head and the other supporting Isabel's sleeping body. "Kol?" She mumbled.

"Hmm?" Kol hummed softly.

"Thanks for being mine," Izzy smiled before she finally fell asleep.

"I'll always be yours," Kol smiled as he pulled her closer and kissed her head. He looked outside at the busy street and smiled. He had fallen for the girl, and he had fallen hard.

≪≫•≪≫•≪≫

Katherine wakes up and sees the warlock casting a spell on someone sitting in a chair. "Somno Ritum Per Dax Ritum, Somno Ritum Per Dax Ritum, Somno Ritum Per Dax Ritum."

Her eyes travel down more to see there are two vases. One is full of blood; the other is empty and knocked over on its side. She starts to get up and sees that Elena's necklace is gone.

Alaric who was the one in the chair opens his eyes and takes the needles out of his arms. He gets up and the warlock bends down in a bow. Katherine gets up slowly due to the vervain in her system. When Alaric hears her breathing he turns around and sees her.

"Alaric?" Katherine says once she is fully standing. She had no idea how she got there and who grabbed her.

A smile crosses Alaric's face as he walks closer. She panics and rushes over to the door but an invisible force prevents her from exiting the apartment.

Alaric slowly walks over to her and speaks in a Slavic accent, "Zdravei, Katerina." He takes her face in his hands. "I have missed you." He rubbed her cheekbones with his thumbs as she looks in his eyes.

"Klaus!" Klaus smiles widely at her as fear takes over her features.

≪≫•≪≫•≪≫

Klaric opens the closet and takes out two shirts while Katherine watches tied to a chair.

"Oh! Who is this guy, Safari Sam?" Klaric asks, looking at Alaric's choice of clothes.

He shows the shirts to Katherine. "Okay, bad, or badder?"

"The dark colors suit you better," Kathrine replied looking at him.

"Oh, thank you, honey," Klaric said then threw the light-colored shirt onto the bed and wore the dark shirt. "Okay, pop quiz. The dagger and white ash are in the Salvatores' possession, correct?"

"The dagger was used to kill Elijah. You'll find him in the basement of the Salvatore house," Katherine said immediately.

"Okay, that dagger needs to stay exactly where it is. The last thing I need to do is resurrect Elijah," Klaric said then sighed. "Oh, that guy is a buzzkill."

"Don't forget you're on the outs with your girlfriend Jenna." Katherine reminded him.

"Right. Elena's aunt. For all the lies about Isobel. What else?"

"A-A girl...she-she is supposed to be important to you Originals. Her names Isabel Donovan." Klaus immediately knew what she was talking about. He has heard a few things over the years about the Queen and their parabatai coming soon. "That's it," she said leaving out the fun part that she's pregnant. Save that shock for later, it's the only thing she could enjoy in this situation.

He gets closer to her and touches her face. She seems afraid which amuses him. "Oh, so jumpy," he said then retracted his hand.

"Please, just...kill me." Katherine pleaded. "I've told you everything that I know."

Klaric puts his hands on the armrests on Katherine's chair and looks her in the eyes.

"You see, I believe that you believe that, but what would you not know? What could they be keeping from you? Hmm? Anything? Tell me," Klaric said, compelling her.

"They were trying to see if Bonnie could find a way to kill an Original without a dagger," Katherine responded.

"Bonnie the best friend?" She nodded. "I thought you said she didn't have her powers anymore," Klaric said, folding his arms in front of his chest.

"She doesn't or didn't. I don't know. You kidnapped me, remember? I'm kinda out of the loop," Katherine said with a hint of annoyance.

"Well, we'll have to get to the bottom of that."

"Please, just kill me, Klaus, and be done with it," Katherine begged once again, looking at the floor.

"And show you kindness? I've searched for you for over 500 years. Your death is going to last at least half that long," Klaric said then takes a single-blade pocketknife from his pocket, opens it, and holds it before Katherine. "I want you to take this knife...And stab yourself." She takes the knife and stabs her thigh, grunting in pain. "Now take it out." She takes it out and her wound heals.

"Now while I'm gone, I want you to do that over and over and over again and if you get bored, switch legs," Klaric said while compelling her, with a smirk on his face.

"Where are you going?" Katherine asked.

"I'm gonna go lay eyes on my precious doppelgänger and Queen." He kisses her on the forehead. "Oh, don't look so glum, Katerina. The fun is just beginning. Again," Klaric said then leaves.

Katherine stabs herself again and again as told.

≪≫•≪≫•≪≫

Isabel was running a little late to school but she finally got in. She saw Mr. Saltzman at the board and she quickly walks to her seat ignoring the patronizing stares once again.

"Sorry I'm late Mr. Saltzman," Isabel said giving him a small tired smile.

Klaric knew who it was easily. The aura that surrounded her was intoxicating and the overload of feelings rushed in. The need to protect her hit him hard and he had to try really hard to move his gaze elsewhere or he might stare to hard at the girl and that wouldn't look good. But when he noticed her stomach he had a strange urge to be protective over the child she is carrying.

He decided this was way too many emotions at once and cleared his throat. "That's alright, Isabel. Back to the board. I wish there was something good to say about the sixties, but...actually, they kind of sucked." The rest of class Izzy didn't pay attention to because she was too busy closing her eyes.

Flashes of the dirty blonde man flew across her eyes. The name 'Nik' was whispered then 'Parabatai' then lastly 'Queen' her eyes fluttered open to see Klaric standing in front of her with concern in his eyes.

"Are you okay?" She blinked a little and got her stuff.

"Uh, yeah, just been really tired recently." She stuck her hand out and Klaric helped her up. "This little one doesn't like to sleep," She said with a smile. She picked up her bag and started to head out of the classroom.

"Get more sleep then, l- Isabel." Isabel looked back at him and nodded. She rubbed her head as a slight headache formed from the flashes she saw and heard.

≪≫•≪≫•≪≫

Elena and Isabel walked up to their friends carrying their lunch on trays. Isabel had a little extra curtsey of the cafeteria lady. She even got free ice cream.

"Hey, Jer. How you doing? Are you okay at the house alone with John?" Elena asks once they sit down.

"It's not ideal," he said, getting up.

"You haven't heard from Jenna, have you?"

"It looks like she's staying on campus. Look I'm...I'm late for class," he says then leaves.

"What's going on?" Izzy asked with furrowed brows. Jeremy was acting weirder then normal and she was confused.

"I told him he had to dress up tonight and he got all uptight," Bonnie said.

"Oh."

Elena and Isabel laugh when suddenly Isabel notices Dana walking over to their table.

"Hey, Elena, Izzy, there you are. Okay. This is going to sound freaky, but this totally hot guy just asked me to ask if you guys are going to the dance tonight."

"Tell him they have boyfriends," Bonnie says.

"You could at least meet him. He'll be at the dance tonight. Look for him. His name is Klaus." Isabel's eye's widened and the ice cream that was so close to her lips was put down back into her ice cream bowl.

"I'm sorry, what did you just say?" Elena asked as she tensed.

"His name's Klaus. I know the name's stupid, but I swear he's hot."

"Where is he? Is he here?" Bonnie asked looking around them trying to find anyone she doesn't recognize.

"I don't know," Dana said.

"She's been compelled." Bonnie realizes.

"But he wants to know if Izzy will save him the last dance. How cute is that?"

"Yeah, so cute, " Isabel says with a fake smile before stuffing her ice cream in her mouth.

≪≫•≪≫•≪≫

Stefan, Damon, Bonnie, Elena, and surprisingly Isabel are in the living room of the Salvatore boarding house.

"So we go to the dance, we find him," Damon said.

"Really? How are we going to do that? We don't even know what he looks like," Stefan said.

"Something tells me he's not going to be sixteen and pimply." Damon retorts.

"That doesn't tell us what he looks like Dames," Isabel said. "But I'm guessing he's gonna look older and maybe, just maybe, he doesn't look like someone we know." She added sarcastically.

"He could be anywhere at any time. He compelled somebody at school," Stefan said then looks at Izzy, Elena, and Bonnie.

"I guess it's not as safe as you guys thought, huh?" Someone knocks on the door and Klaric enters.

"There you are," Damon said.

"Sorry, I'm late."

"Hey, I need you to put me down as a chaperone at the dance tonight. Klaus made his first move." Damon told Klaric.

"Okay, so we find him and then what, hmm? What's our plan of attack?" Elena asked.

"Me," Bonnie spoke up, making everyone look at her. "I'm the plan. He has no idea how much power I can channel. If you can find him, I can kill him."

"That's not going to be that easy. I mean, he is the biggest, baddest vampire around," Klaric says as he internally smirks. He looks at Isabel but once she looks at him he diverts his eyes.

"Alaric has a point. I mean, what if he..." Damon stops talking when he rushes at Bonnie in vampire speed but she throws him to the other side of the room with her powers, without even touching him.

"Well, I was impressed," Stefan says.

"It doesn't matter if he's an Original. I can take down anyone who comes at me," Bonnie said looking at Stefan. "I can kill him, guys. I know I can."

≪≫•≪≫•≪≫

Isabel looked at herself in her mirror and smiled. She really liked how she looked. Anything old she loved. She didn't know what it was but the way things looked from any time back then was interesting to her. Though her protruding stomach made the dress look like a high-low. Yet it still looked good so she wore it.

When she was at school she immediately went to get punch when she turned around she saw Klaric. She smiled at him and offered her punch to him.

"No, I'm good." He declines. She shrugs and drinks her punch. Some of it slipped out because she didn't stop drinking from it. Almost like instinct, he wiped the punch from her face with his thumb. Although Klaric didn't find anything wrong with it, Isabel found it weird and extremely awkward. I mean this was her teacher for heaven sakes.

Her eyes connected with his and she could tell something was different about him. She didn't know how she could tell but she felt something coming from him she hadn't felt from her teacher before, his eyes seemed darker and the way he acted was different. She felt like his aura was calling out to her.

"Thanks," she said awkwardly even though she tried to hide it. His hand dropped down and he faced the students.

"You look lovely tonight, Isabel."

"You too." She replied forcing herself to not look at him like a crazy person. Maybe it was because of his rough patch with Jenna and he was acting out.

Isabel turns and gets more punch as Dana walks on stage and speaks into the microphone, "thanks for being here everybody. We have a special shout-out tonight. This is for Elena and Izzy. From Klaus." Isabel turned around so fast she almost spilled all her punch.

"What the hell," she said under her breath and she sipped her punch to chill her nerves.

Damon sees them and walks over to them standing on Klaric's left.

"Special dedication, huh? This guy's a little twisted." Klaric says, eyeing the vampire.

"I'm not impressed," Damon said looking out at all the kids.

"Not impressed. More weirded out than anything," Isabel said agreeing with Damon.

Klaric's face was showing disappointment when he looked at Damon. "No?"

"Let me know if you see anything out of whack," Damon says not answering the question then leaves.

≪≫•≪≫•≪≫

Isabel was dancing with Jeremy because Bonnie was dancing with Damon. She actually had a little fun and forgot about Tyler being gone for a little. She hadn't seen much of the little Gilbert lately.

"You're really not that bad of a dancer, Jer," Isabel said with a small smile.

"Don't. I hate it when you say that," Jeremy says with a small pout which makes her laugh.

"But I like seeing you pout. It's adorable. Especially when you're like the little brother I never got to have."

"Brotherzoned. Yikes. That stings," he says in mock hurt trying to not make her sad. The blonde shakes her head and ruffles his hair making him groan.

"I need more punch."

≪≫•≪≫•≪≫

Klaric runs up to Bonnie, Isabel, and Elena who were outside talking. "Elena!" He yells out.

"What is it?" Elena asked a little worried.

"He has Jeremy," Klaric replied.

"What?" All three girls exclaimed.

"Yeah, Klaus has Jeremy. Come on," Klaric said leading the way making the three girls follow him through a side door and into a hallway.

"Okay, so where exactly are you taking us?" Izzy asked confused.

"Just a little further," Klaric said still going with the girls hot on his tail.

"No, no, no. Wait!..Something's not right," Izzy said getting that same aura she did earlier. She started to walk slower not sure what's happening.

"Where's Jeremy?" Bonnie asked as she slowing down and so did Elena.

Klaric stops walking and laughs at them.

"I just had to get away from that dance. The sixties, ugh. Not my decade," Klaric said as he slowly turned around to face the girls. He laughed again and said, "I mean, whose call was that, anyway? I much prefer the twenties. The style, the parties, the jazz." He took a few steps closer to them making them on edge.

"Alaric. Are you on vervain?" Elena asked making him stop in his tracks.

"Now why would you ask me that question, Elena?"

"He's being compelled," Elena said.

"Nope. Try again," he said taking a few more steps towards them.

"No, no, no. It isn't," Isabel mumbled as her heart started to beat a little faster.

"What's going on?" Bonnie asked confused as she puts her arm out as if to shield the two girls behind her.

"No, no," Isabel said again.

He sighed loudly. "Okay, I'll give you a hint. I am not Alaric."

"It is you," Isabel said then gulped. Klaric looked at her amusement swimming in his eyes.

"Care to wager an educated guess, sweetheart?" He asked only looking at Izzy making her very very uncomfortable.

"Klaus," the blonde said sadly knowing she was right. She put a hand on her stomach feeling a little sick.

Klaus smiled broadly. "Surprise!"

"Oh, no. No, it's not possible," Elena said.

"Anything is possible, Lena," Isabel said sighing.

"Just relax. I'm not here to hurt you two, especially you Isabella. Neither of you are on my hit list tonight." He looked at Bonnie. "But you are."

He started towards Bonnie but she throws him against the wall with her powers. He grunted in pain but still managed to get up.

"Now, did I mention that I knew a witch? You're gonna have to hit me a lot harder than that." Klaus rushes over to her and she throws him against a display case, smashing the glass. He falls to the ground but laughed it off. "By all means...Fire away!" He says as he gets up. "If you kill this body, I'll just get a new one. Maybe Jeremy."

"Go. Run. Run!" Bonnie says and they all run. Bonnie closes the doors with her powers and Damon runs through another pair of doors to join them.

"What happened?" Damon asked noticing their frazzled state.

"Klaus is in Alaric's body," Elena said.

"What?" Damon asked in disbelief.

"He's possessing it or something," Bonnie said.

Damon looks at Elena. "Go find Stefan. Now." He turns to Isabel. "You get home. This is not healthy for either of you," he said slightly looking down at her stomach.

"Okay." They both agreed but didn't move.

"Now." They walk out leaving Damon and Bonnie alone.

≪≫•≪≫•≪≫

Isabel sat in the living room drinking hot chocolate thinking about everything. She keeps having these weird distorted dreams that she couldn't really make out what they were saying or what they looked like, she lost Bonnie, Tyler's gone, the Originals supposedly want her, and she is always hungry. Everything has been so stressful lately she worried about the health of her baby but her little one kept kicking to let her mom know she was fine.

Bonnie is fine. And I'm getting answers. Elijah and I should be at the mansion soon. -E

She sighed in relief and drank the rest of her hot cocoa.

Good idea. I'll be here. -A

≪≫•≪≫•≪≫

Isabel hears a knock on the door and she makes her way down as Carol opens it.

"Elijah, Elena what are you doing here? What happened?" She asked seeing Elijah's appearance.

"I've had a bit of an incident, Carol. I'm hoping you could help."

"Well, I'm on my way to a meeting, so I-"

Elijah cuts her off when he compels her, "It won't take but a minute of your time."

Carol smiles and says, "Of course. Anything you need."

"Thank you."

"Hey," Isabel said once she stopped in front of Elijah, giving him a small smile.

"Hello, Isabel."

"Hey, Izzy."

"Well, first things first. I'm going to need a change of clothing," Elijah said while Carol looked at him closing the door.

"Well, we can try one of my husband's suits," Carol suggested. "I haven't boxed them up yet."

"Wonderful," he said as she walked upstairs.

"How did you know she's not on vervain?" Izzy asked curiously getting that familiar feeling again. It was a nice and safe feeling.

"'Cause I'm the one who got her off it. Right before Elena and your friends killed me. Twice. If you'll excuse me. I'll be down in a moment." Elijah answered as he walked upstairs.

"But I wasn't apart of it," she yelled up to him before turning to Elena and giving her a hug.
