Senior Prank Night

"Why Diana, isn't this a pleasant surprise! How nice to see you again."

"Klaus," I acknowledged.

"How long has it been since we last seen each other?"

I could feel the tension radiating off everyone except for Klaus and Rebekah. Stefan hung slightly back behind Klaus, looking as tense as the rest of us while Rebekah looked bored as she guarded the gym door behind us. Tyler was 'dead' at Rebekah's feet and I could feel Caroline's anger rolling off of her.

Elena, Bonnie, Caroline, Matt and I were stuck between the two Originals while two human classmates that I think were named Dana and Chad were off to the side.

"It's been awhile," I said, smiling sweetly at Klaus.

Klaus grinned back. "Why, my brother will be overjoyed to hear that you're still alive."

"Oh yes," said Rebekah emphatically. "How he dared not to hope that you survived all these centuries alone."

If possible, I grew even more edgy. I knew whom Klaus and Rebekah were alluding too. "Don't." I snapped. "Don't bring him up and let's just get to the real reason why you're here."

Klaus threw me a mocking grin before turning to look at Elena.

Great, I thought, not only has Klaus decided that Bonnie was going to be the one to figure out his Hybrid dilemma, now he had taken Elena hostage for incentive. On top of that, Caroline being Caroline, attacked Rebekah and both Caroline and Tyler got dragged away and became Rebekah's hostages.

That just left Matt and I to help Bonnie and we only had a short time limit to figure out what to do. Klaus thought it would be fun to have a countdown on the gym scoreboard and if we failed, Tyler would die and Stefan will attack Elena under compulsion.

Bonnie led the way as the three of us rushed out of the gym. We stopped in the hallway to get our bearings and come up with a plan.

"Bonnie, what are we going to do?" asked Matt.

Bonnie ran her hands through her hair and sighed deeply. "Just let me think for a moment."

I sighed, trying not to fidget. "A vampire, a witch and a human. What can we do to figure out Klaus's Hybrid problem?"

Bonnie didn't seem to hear me. "The Original witch is the mother of the Originals. Esther was the one to put the Hybrid curse on Klaus. So that means Esther would be the only one who would know why Klaus's attempts at making Hybrids aren't working. If there was just a way to somehow talk to her…"

"But you can!" Matt nearly shouted. "Jeremy! Jeremy can contact her!"

"Matt, that's brilliant!" cried Bonnie, whipping out her phone. She quickly dialled and put her phone to her ear while Matt and I shuffled uneasily. I perked up my ears but could only hear the dial tone coming from Bonnie's phone. "Dammit! He's not picking up!"

"Now what?" asked Matt.

"I'm going to have to go to Jeremy's," said Bonnie, shoving her phone back in her pocket. "Matt, you keep trying to call Jeremy. Diana, watch Matt. He's the only human involved, which makes it easier for him to get hurt."

I knew Matt wouldn't like to have someone protect him but I knew that Bonnie was right. I was less likely to get hurt because I was a vampire. "Of course. Just hurry and find Jeremy."

Bonnie nodded at Matt and I before dashing down the hallway and around the corner. Matt was already on his phone and I decided to make some calls of my own. I dialled Anna, Jeremy's girlfriend, and hoped that Jeremy was with her.

"Hello?" answered Anna.

"Anna! It's Diana," I said hurriedly. "Is Jeremy with you?"

"Ah, no. I think he said he had to work tonight. Why?" asked Anna. "Is everything okay?"

"Damn," I growled under my breath. "Everything's fine. Can you just tell Jeremy to call Matt if you see him? It's kind of important."

"Sure, I'll tell him."

"Thanks Anna."

I hung up the phone and saw Matt looking at something over my shoulder with a funny look on his face. I turned to see what he was glaring at and nearly growled. Rebekah was leaning against some lockers, smirking at Matt and I.

"Figured out a plan, have you?" taunted Rebekah.

I squared my shoulders. "As a matter of fact, we have."

"How brilliant you must feel," said Rebekah, pushing off the lockers and slowly walking towards us. "But what shall happen if your plan fails?"

I instinctively stepped in front of Matt. "Our plan won't fail."

"But what if you can't find little Jeremy Gilbert?" asked Rebekah, stopping in front of me. "Seems like a stupid plan to put so much faith in Elena's brother."

"Diana," said Matt from behind me. "I have an idea. We don't need Jeremy."

"What are you talking about?" I hissed, never taking my eyes off of Rebekah. She looked interested in what Matt was saying, which made me even more uneasy if that was possible.

"Just give me time," he hissed back before taking off down the hallway. Rebekah lunged after him but I managed to catch her around the waist and throw her back down the hall the way she came.

Rolling swiftly to her feet, Rebekah sank into a crouch. "You know, I never quite understood my brothers fascination with you."

I mirrored Rebekah's stance. I could feel the veins snaking under my red eyes and with a hiss, I bared my fangs at her. Rebekah sprang at me with her fangs bared and black veins winding under her eyes also.

Rebekah was an Original but I was 800 years old so while Rebekah was stronger than me, I could hold my own against her. We both had a good grip on each other, which just resulted in us taking turns smashing the other against the lockers and clawing at each other's throats.

Rebekah finally got me pinned to the ground but before she could sink her clawed fingers into my chest to rip out my heart, she was thrown off of me. I was yanked to my feet by whoever saved me while Rebekah righted herself and faced us.

"Caroline," Rebekah jeered. "Here I thought that nothing could possibly pull you away from Tyler's side."

"Tyler's fine," Caroline replied stiffly.

"And by fine, you mean dead?" asked Rebekah, smirking.

Caroline snarled. I grabbed her arm to prevent her from jumping at Rebekah and Rebekah just laughed. I finally released her when it seemed Caroline was in no danger of trying to attack Rebekah.

"Let's go Caroline," I said. "Bonnie has a plan so let's just go sit with Tyler."

"Well, Caroline is kind of my hostage, so she's coming with me," said Rebekah. "But you're welcome to come too Diana."

Rebekah grabbed both mine and Caroline's arm and proceeded to drag us down the hallway she had come from. I could have fought her if I had wanted but I knew that I would just end up on the floor again with Rebekah about to tear out my heart. She unceremoniously threw us into a science classroom and shut the door behind her.

Tyler was laying on one of the tables used for dissections and Caroline immediately went to his side. He was still 'dead' but he would be waking very soon. Rebekah perched on the teacher's desk and surveyed me standing awkwardly in the middle of the classroom. Great, I thought, now I was a hostage.

Dear Diary,

I've had the most horrific night in a long time. Not only did I run into Klaus and Rebekah, but Klaus compelled Stefan to turn off his humanity and I got into a fight with Rebekah that I clearly lost.

It's a long story, so I won't write it all down, but long story short, Klaus wanted Bonnie to figure out why he can't create Hybrids. And Bonnie did figure it out, thanks mostly to Matt almost dying and talking to his dead sister, Vicki. Vicki talked to Esther on the Other Side and Esther said that the doppelgänger, aka Elena, had to die. Klaus, being as clever as he is, figured out that Esther meant the opposite.

While Klaus is clever, he's also a little bit of a creep. He saved some blood from Elena from when she was human and used that to make Tyler complete the transition. Now Tyler is a Hybrid just like Klaus. And now, Klaus knows how to make more Hybrids. The only silver lining I see is that Elena is a vampire now, which means that her human blood that Klaus saved is limited.

All in all, it was a bad night.
