Dear Diary,

Finn Mikaelson betrayed his mother because she tried to kill them all. He was on board at first, but he realized that the woman he loved was still alive and waiting for him. So he made up with his siblings and is now with Sage. The decade dance was a bust Esther took my blood to turn  Alaric into another original. But of course, he refused to become the thing he hunted. He decided not to feed. Jeremy, Elena, Jenna and I decided to paint the house. They wanted to take a break.

I was at the Gilbert home. My kids were with the babysitters. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I saw it was Alaric. "Whoever this is, it's not funny," I say feeling a little irritated. "Well, who else would it be?" Alaric's voice came from the other end. "Ric?" I ask, shocked at the fact that he's alive. "Listen closely, I'm at the school, I have Caroline, and if you want to keep her alive, I need you to get in your car and come down here right away. If you tell anyone where you are going, I will kill her," he threatens and hangs up the phone before I can reply. I sneak out and drive to school. I park my car and walk in straight to Alaric's classroom.

"Right on time," I hear him say as soon as I walk in. "Caroline. Let her go, Alaric!" I yell at him. He points at her. "Free her yourself," he replies. I went to pull the pencil out of her, but Alaric comes behind me and slams the pencil back into her hand making Caroline screams. "You said you would let her go!" he walks over to me. "How many times do I have to tell you, Belle? Stop trusting vampires!" Alaric yells and I back from me. Alaric dips the cloth that was on Caroline's mouth into a beaker of vervain and puts it back into her mouth. "No, no more, please, no more!" Caroline begs. I get up. "Alaric, stop!" he pushes me back into the seat. "Sit down! This keeps the vervain in her system. It's like inhaling razorblades with every breath," he explains as if I didn't know.

"Why are you doing this?" I ask. "To make it easier for you to put her out of her misery," Alaric replies. He picks up the white oak stake and walks towards me. "What?! No!" I tell him. "This is not what I want," I say. "Of course, it is. All those times you spent training with me. Practicing your magic and powers, getting stronger, you could be a hunter, Elizabeth. But you've never actually staked a vampire to the heart," he holds the stake for me to take. "Why are you doing this?" I ask. "Because you need me. Because you are an eighteen-year-old girl without parents or guidance or and sense of right and wrong anymore, you live by yourself along with those monsters you call children," this time he crossed the line. "Look at you. How is this right?! And don't you ever talk about my children like that," I before using my magic to break Alaric's neck.

I untie Caroline and tell her to run, and she does as I say. I was about to run when Alaric stands by the door. "Not so fast," he says with a wicked smile. Alaric holds me by my neck. "I should kill you. I should gut you like Brian Walters, Bill Forbes, and all the other cowards I plan ripping apart. You're the worst of them all, Elizabeth. You don't deserve to live," I give him a mocking smile. "So then, why am I still alive? There's obviously no humanity left in you, so what's stopping you, Alaric? If you want to kill me. Kill me then," I taunt.

Alaric's eyes start to become dark and veiny. "Do it! Kill me!" I yell. His eyes go back to normal again. Stefan and Damon rush to grab him by the arms. "Do it now!" Damon says. He knocks Stefan out and snaps Damon's neck. Klaus shows up out of nowhere and puts his hand on Alaric's heart, but Alaric manages to overpower him and throws him against the lockers. He flips Klaus over and is about to stake him in the heart, but Klaus fights back. I yell at Alaric. "Hey!" I yell again. Alaric looks up, and I put a knife to my throat. "Let him go, or I'll kill myself," I threaten. "Put it down, Elizabeth," he orders. "Why? Because you need me alive? There's a reason why Esther used me to make you, isn't there? She didn't want you to become immortal, so she tied your life to a human one. Mine. That way, you have only one live span of killing all vampires, and then you'll be gone. So, when I die, you die too. That's it; it has to be!" I say.

"You're wrong," he says with a smile. "Am I?" I ask, giving him the same smile. I begin to cut my throat open. "Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!" yells Alaric. Klaus takes that moment to throw Alaric off him, and he rushes towards me and speeds away.

I start to wake up. I try to move, but it hurts. I look down and see a nurse injecting a needle into my arm. "Be careful. Moving only makes it hurt more," the nurse says. "What are you doing?" I ask. "Draining you of all your blood," Klaus says. "I have kids, Klaus please don't do this. They need me. I will give you my blood whenever you need it. But please don't let me die," I beg. Klaus seemed to think about it and was about to untie me when Tyler walks in. "Belle?" he asks. "Tyler, help me," I say. "He can't. He needs to fetch me more blood bags. About three liters' worth, please, Tyler," Klaus looks a Tyler.

"Tyler, please. Get Stefan, please," I say but Klaus shakes his head no. "No, Tyler, get the bags," Klaus orders. Tyler stands for a moment and then rushes towards me. Klaus stops him. "Forget the girl and get the bags. Now" says Klaus. Tyler looks at me and walks out of the room. Klaus walks behind me. "So that's it? You're just gonna bleed me dry," I ask. "Yes, but don't worry, it'll be completely painless. As the last drop is drawn, you'll simply fall asleep," Tyler comes back and everything happens so fast.

Tyler helps Damon and Stefan desiccate Klaus. On that fight, someone knocked me over, and I passed out. When I woke up, I was at home. I went back to helping my siblings paint the house. All of a sudden, I felt dizzy and a bad headache, then everything went black.

Third Pov.

Belle wakes up in a hospital bed and looks around. But as quick as she woke up she falls back asleep. Meredith, Jenna, Jeremy, and Elena are outside watching her. "She's gonna be fine. She got a little banged up today, hit her head, but it was just a slight concussion, nothing to worry about," Meredith reassures Belle's family. "But she collapsed, there was blood," Jenna explains. "Honestly, Jenna, Belle's okay. She's just... she's been through a lot. But, she will recover just fine" Meredith tells Jenna.

On the road, Damon and Stefan are driving towards the Atlantic. When Jeremy, Elena, and Jenna called them. "You did what?" Damon asked. "We took her to the hospital. When you find your niece unconscious, you call 911," it was Jenna who replied to his question. "Not when you have a parade of vampires at your disposal!" Stefan nods at Damon's reply. "Well, Meredith wants to keep her here for observation," Elena adds. "Jenna, get Belle home, we're on our way," says Damon before hanging up. He turns to look at his brother. "Have I told you lately how much I appreciate you not being the dumbest brother on earth?" he asks. "You know one of us needs to keep moving, right? If Klaus really is the sire of our bloodline, we need to keep his body hidden before Alaric finds him, kills him, and we all end up dead," Stefan states. "Our life is one, big, proverbial coin toss," Stefan nods.

Caroline is helping Belle into the Gilbert house. "Couch," Caroline orders. "I'm fine. I just... I want to eat something first," Belle tells the blonde vampire. "We're on it, as soon as we make sure no one is lurking in the closets," Tyler says as he walks around the house. "Alright couch," Caroline says once again. "I told you I'm fine," the eldest Gilbert tells her. "Doctor says rest, you rest. Now, what can I get you? Do you want some tea, maybe some vodka? Both will help you sleep. I know, I'm being smothering. It's what I do,"  Caroline says teasingly. "No, it's-it's nice," Belle whispers. "I'm thinking-maybe tea with vodka," Belle teases back making Caroline laugh.

Belle slowly fell asleep and dreamt about her life before magic, before the supernatural. She dreamt about how happy she was before knowing what she was. When her only worry was not to mess up her cheer routines. She starts to wake up. "Where is everyone?" Belle. asked Matt who was the only one in the house. "Tyler and Caroline got a call from their moms. What were you dreaming about?" the blonde boy asked her.

"Freshman year," she replied. "Seems like forever ago," Matt adds. "It was. Everything was good. I was a human, no werewolf, and no magic" there was a brief silence. "You know, I love them both. But I will never string them along. Maybe one day they'll find their happiness with someone else. You and Elena worked it out. You guys are meant to be; you are high school sweethearts. You will get your happy ending," Belle says with a smile.

After their conversation, Stefan arrived back at the Gilbert residence a few hours later. Belle was lying on the couch, while Matt and Stefan were cooking in the kitchen. "I'm being over coddled. I feel completely fine," she tells both boys. "You're on house arrest. You're supposed to be coddled," Stefan replied with a smile. "Jenna, Jeremy, Elena, and the kids are out of the town already. They're safe. Thanks to that spell, no one can find them only you," Matt adds and she nods. Belle made the call to have her family leave until it was safe for them and her children to return.

After we had dinner, Belle went to make sure my door was locked when she spotted Elijah Mikaelson standing at the other end of the door. "Stefan," she mutters. Elijah stood at the front door. "Elijah," greeted Stefan. "Hello again," the man in the suit replied. "All we need is to take that stake away from him. Once he's been disarmed, the weapon's in my possession, my family will scatter to the ends of the Earth, and Alaric will follow us," Elijah offers. "And you'll just run?" Stefan asks incredulously and the man nods. "We've done it before. Klaus and Rebekah spent the better part of a thousand years evading my father. What's another half-century while Belle can live out the rest of her natural life," he offers.

"We've finally stopped him, Elijah. After everything that he's done to us, I can't just let you bring him back," it was Belle's turn to speak. "I give you my word, Elizabeth. I will not revive Klaus within yours nor even your children's lifetimes. Perhaps that will finally teach him some manners," she ponders, thinking of what to do. "Why should she trust you? All you've done is screw her over," Matt adds to the conversation. "And for that, I am deeply ashamed. But know this, she could have been dead the instant I walked through that door tonight, so Elizabeth, I leave it to you to make the decision whether to trust me or not," says Elijah. Suddenly Damon responds through the phone. "Not! Hello? Did that concussion give you brain damage?! His lunatic siblings will kill you the first chance they get!" Damon yelled through the phone. "Rebekah and Kol will honor the terms. If you return Klaus' body to us, Elizabeth will come to no harm," Elijah negotiate. "Do we have a deal?" he asks. "No! No, no, no, no! Did I mention no?" Damon asks.

"Belle, is up to you," Stefan says. "Oh, come on!" Damon yells over the phone. "Why do you want Klaus' body?" she asks. "He's my brother. We remain together," she nods. She sighs but agrees. "We have a deal," Belle says. Belle is sitting in her old room. Matt enters with a cup of tea. "Mm, thank you,"  she takes a sip and scrunches her face in disgust. "Sorry, I over-honeyed. I suck at tea" she laughs. "So, Stefan?" Matt asks. "He was there through the whole process of the ritual. "So, do you feel like you owe him or something?" he adds."No, it's not that. It's- after the thing with Liam, I kind of felt like I couldn't fall in love anymore. I accidentally killed Liam, and that triggered my werewolf curse. I got to live, and he didn't. After that accident, I kind of felt like I didn't know how to live anymore like I didn't want to, but being with Stefan... it just... somehow I figured it out. And that's what love should be. You should love the person that makes you feel alive," Matt nods.

"So then, what's the problem?" Matt asked her. "The problem's Damon. When I'm with him, he just consumes me. And I know that I can't love them both, I know that it's wrong, but I-when I choose one then I'll lose the other. And I don't want to lose anyone else. I-I just- wish that I had my mom here to give me some advice," he nods. After a few minutes, Belle fell asleep. When she came to, she was on Matt's truck. "What's going on?" Belle asks, confused at house she got there. "It's the only way I was gonna get you in this truck," he replies. "The tea. You drugged me?" she was shocked. "I'm sorry, Belle, but you're right, okay. You don't have any parents to tell you what's right or wrong, you've got me, and Jeremy, Jenna, Elena, and your kids and a bunch of vampires fighting a war you shouldn't be in the middle of," she looks at him, she did not know how to feel about that.

"What the hell going on, Matt?" she asks. "I'm getting you out of town, Belle. It's the only way to keep you safe," Matt replies before getting on the phone with Stefan. "Got it," he replies. "We have to go back. Listen to me, Matt, if Klaus is the one that turned their bloodline, then they're all going to die. We have to go back, Matt!" she yells at Matt. "Belle," Matt begins. "What?" she asks, a bit annoyed. "Damon's not with them," he finishes. "What?" she asks again. "He's a hundred miles out of town. I can keep driving to him, or I can turn around and go back to Stefan. It's your choice," this had her head spinning.

Damon's phone rings and sees it's Belle calling.

"Let me guess. Calling to see if the Grim Reaper's paid a visit?" Damon asked from the other side of the line. "How are you feeling? Are there any symptoms?" Belle asks, concerned to know if something was wrong. "Not yet. But I'm sure we'll laugh when we find out that Klaus is a big fat liar," she nods. "Yeah, I'm sure we will," Belle says. "Hey, where are you?" he asks, although deep down he knew where she was. "Matt's taking me home," she replies. "To Stefan," Damon mutters. "Not just Stefan, Damon. To Tyler, to Caroline," she says. "Ah, I know, I get it. So, since I'm possible a dead man, can I ask you a question?" she nods as if he can see her. "Yeah, of course," she replies.

"If it was just down to him and me and you had to make a choice who got the goodbye, who would it be?" Belle starts to choke up. "I love him Damon, and I love you too. So I will see you both" there was a brief silence. Damon knew it was gonna be Stefan. "But I love him, Damon. He came into my life at a time when I needed someone, and I fell for him instantly. No matter what I feel for you, I - I never unfell for him," I truthfully replies. "Yeah, I get it. Stefan, it's always gonna be Stefan," Damon's voice broke for a second. "I can't think about always. All I can think about is right now. And I care about you, Damon, which is why I decided not to choose between you both. I have to let you both go maybe if you and I had met first" she offers and he nods. "Yeah, maybe," he agrees. "You're gonna be okay, and I' gonna see you soon" Damon feels a knot on his throat. Alaric appears behind Damon. "Real soon. Goodbye, Belle," he bids his goodbye before hanging up on her.

After ending her call with Damon, she called Caroline and she received news that she did not want to hear. Belle hangs up the phone after talking to Caroline. "You too, Care," she says with tears in her eyes. "What now?" Matt asks, concern. "It's Tyler, he um... he's..." Belle gets cut off by Matt. "Damn it!" Matt yells knowing what happened before she could ever finish her sentence. He starts to choke up and starts to hit the steering wheel. "Damnt it! damn it! damn it!" he yells. "Matt, Matt! No. Stop it," Belle says. "This isn't how our lives are supposed to be, Belle," Matt says and she nods. "I need to call Stefan, but my phone is dying," Matt takes out his phone. "Here. Use mine," he offers up his phone. He hands Belle his phone as they drive to the wickery bridge. "Thanks," Belle looks up and sees a figure standing in the middle of the road. "Matt, look out!" she yelled.

Rebekah was the figure in the middle of the road. Matt swerves to avoid her and sends the truck flying over the guardrail and into the water. The same bridge that killed her parents. Belle is remembering the day her parents went off the bridge. Another memory of Belle meeting Damon in New York and them talking about their love lives and the people they've lost. Matt's truck has sunk to the bottom. Belle wakes up and sees Matt's eyes are closing. She starts to shake him. As she does that, she sees her dad trying to open the car and trying to break the window. She continues to shake Matt awake. She tries to open the door, but it won't work then she tries to break the window.

Stefan swims up the window, and Belle is desperately trying to shake Matt awake. Stefan rips Matt's door open and tries to swim over to Belle, but she shakes her head and points to Matt. Stefan tries to reach her again, but she persists for him to get Matt. He gets matt and swims up. Belle takes her final breaths, she shuts her eyes and becomes lifeless.

At the other side of town Damon and Alaric are fighting. Alaric starts to feel weak. "What's happening?" asks Alaric. "Oh no," Damon instantly knows what is going on. "What's happening?!" yells Alaric. He falls into his knees feeling weaker by the second. "No. No, no, no. Ric, Ric! You are not dead. You are not dead," Damon cries out to no one in particular. Alaric starts to desiccate before dying. Tears are forming in Damon's eyes. He has not only lost his best friend but also Belle, the girl he loves.

Jeremy walks over to the living room leaving another voice message to Matt. "Matt, man, where are you guys? You should have called back by now," Jeremy stops when he sees Alaric in the middle of the place they're in. "Jeremy" Alaric says. To Jeremy he almost sounds like the Alaric he knew. "Haven't you done enough? And how did you even found us?" Jeremy asks. Jenna and Elena walk over the two men."I don't know" the man replies, he himself is confused as to how he got there. "I just wanted to say goodbye, and it kind of happened," he adds. "Ric?" Jenna asked and he nods. "I just wanted to let you guys know that I'll always be here to look after all of you. That you'll never be alone, okay? I promise," Jenna, Elena and Jeremy look at him not understanding for a moment. "I don't understand," Jenna says, mostly to herself. After a moment of silence, Jeremy realizes what happened. "Oh my god, you're a ghost," Jeremy states and he nod. He realizes that he is dead. "But if you're dead that means my sister is..." Elena doesn't finish her sentence as she begins to cry.

In the morgue, Belle's body is lying on a stretcher. Stefan is sitting next to her with tears in his eyes.

Damon bursts into the hospital. "Where is she," he asks. Meredith walks over to him. "No, Damon, wait," she says. "Where is she?!" he yells. She stops him. "You need to know, when Jenna brought Belle in here earlier tonight, her injuries were worse than I let on. It wasn't a concussion, it was cerebral hemorrhage, bleeding on the brain," says Meredith and Damon comes to a halt. "What are you saying?" Damon asks. "They were so worried, I didn't want to tell them, but I- I helped her. She needed my help," Meredith replies. "You what?" he asks.

On the morgue, Belle's body lies on the stretcher. Suddenly she wakes up with a gasp, her eyes glowing red.

Dear diary,

I'm dead. I died on the same bridge that my parents died in. Part of me is there, the human part. Now I'm a vampire. Well, I'm a tribrid. The first tribrid to roam the earth as far as I know. So I'm an inmorntal being with no death date. After Stefan brought me home, I left. I couldn't be there. Because I feel like I might hurt someone. Jeremy came back but left Jenna, Elena and the kids at the safe house. I'm back at my house. I feel like part of me is gone and I feel empty. I feel like I'm gonna die, yet I can't. Everyone we'll see me as an abomination.

My emotions are everything.I am angry, and I hate Rebekah Mikaelson for turning me into what I am. I have never felt hatred before or the need to kill someone until now. Rebekah Mikaelson is the girl I want to kill.

I'm about to head home. I don't need a ring since I'm still a werewolf and witch. No one knows that I got to keep my other two sides. This means I'm stronget than the originals. My blood can actually still make hybrids but they will be sired to me not Klaus. Now, is time to start fresh. I guess we'll see where this journey takes me.
