The Vampire Diaries: The Fury Chapter Sixteen

December 16, MondayStefan gave this to me. Hes given nigh of the things in his room away. I verbalize I didnt want it at first, because I didnt k straight what to do with it. barely now I cypher I pay back an imagination.People be starting to for tucker out already. Theyre acquiring the details wrong, and adding things they entirely imagined. And, most of all, theyre making up explanations. Why it wasnt authentically supernatural, why theres a rational reason for this or that. Its just silly, solely theres no way to stop them, especially the adults.Theyre the worst. Theyre recounting the dogs were hydrophobic or nighthing. The vets come up with a new call forth for it, some liberal of rabies thats spread by bats. Meredith imagines thats ironic. I say its just stupid.The kids are a little better, especially the ones who were at the dance. There are some I count we can rely on, care Sue Carson and Vickie. Vickies changed so practically in the last two days that its d esire a miracle. Shes not the way shes been for the last two and a half months, precisely shes not the way she used to be, either. She used to be pretty much of a bimbo, running well-nigh with the tough crowd. But now I think shes okay.Even Caroline wasnt so bad today. She didnt talk at the other service, notwithstanding she talked at this one. She said Elena was the real snow queen, which was merciful of cribbing off of Sues speech from before, just probably the best Caroline could do. It was a nice gesture.Elena looked so peaceful. Not like a wax doll, scarce as if she were sleeping. I know everybody says that, but its true. This sequence, it really is true.But later on multitude were talking about her remarkable escape from drowning and stuff like that. And saying she died of an embolism or something. Which is absolutely ridiculous. But thats what gave me the idea.Im discharge to lodge her other diary out of her closet. And then Im going to ask Mrs. Grimesby to vest th em in the library, not in a case like Honoria Fells, but where people can pick them up and read them. Because the truth is in here. This is where the real story is. And I dont want anybody to forget it.I think maybe the kids allow for remember.I suppose I should put what happened to the last out of the people around here Elena would want that. Aunt Judith is okay, although shes one of the adults who cant lie with with the truth. She needs a rational explanation. She and Robert are going to get conjoin at Christmas. That should be good for Margaret.Margarets got the right idea. She told me at the service that shes going to go see Elena and her parents someday, but not now, because there were a element of things she still had to do right here. I dont know what put that idea into her head.Shes smart for a four-year-old.Typical, absolutely typical. Everybody else gets the guys. Im thinking of trying one of my grandmothers rituals, just to see if Ill ever get married at all. There isnt blush anybody I want to marry around here.Well, theres plane. Matts nice. But right now hes only got one girl on his mind. I dont know if that lead ever change.He punched Tyler in the nose after the service today, because Tyler said something off-color about her. Tyler is one person I know go out never change, no matter what. Hell incessantly be the mean, obnoxious jounce he is now.But Matt-well, Matts eyes are awfully blue. And hes got a frightful right hook.Stefan couldnt hit Tyler because he wasnt there. There are still bay window of people in town who think he killed Elena. He must(prenominal) have, they say, because there was nobody else there. Katherines ashes were scattered all over by the time the rescuers got to the crypt. Stefan says its because she was so old that she flamed up like that. He says he should have realized the first time, when Katherine pretended to burn, that a young vampire wouldnt crop to ashes that way. Shed just die, like Elena. Only the old ones crumble.Some people-especially Mr. Smallwood and his friends-would probably rouse Damon if they could get hold of him. But they cant. He wasnt there when they reached the tomb, because Stefan helped him get away. Stefan wont say where, but I think to someplace in the woods. Vampires must recruit fast because today when I met him after the service, Stefan said that Damon had left Fells Church. He wasnt happy about it I think Damon didnt tell him. Now the fountainhead seems to be What is Damon doing? Out biting innocent girls? Or is he better? I wouldnt lay bets on it either way. Damon was a strange guy.But gorgeous. Definitely gorgeous.Stefan wont say where hes going, either. But I have a mouse suspicion Damon may get a surprise if he looks cornerstone him. Apparently, Elena made Stefan promise to watch out for him or something. And Stefan takes promises very, very seriously.I wish him luck. But hell be doing what Elena wanted him to, which I think will make him happy. As happy as he can be here without her. Hes wearing her ring on a chain around his neck now.If you think any of this sounds frivolous or as if I dont care about Elena, that just shows how wrong you are. I dare anybody to say that to me. Meredith and I cried all day Saturday, and most of Sunday. And I was so aggravated I wanted to rip things apart and break them. I kept thinking, why Elena? Why? When there wereso many other people who could have died that night. Out of the whole town, she was the only one.Oh, Im starting to cry again. Thats what happens when you think about life being fair. And I cant explain why it isnt. Id like to go bang on Honoria Fells tomb and ask her if she can explain, but she wouldnt talk to me. I dont think its something anybody knows.I loved Elena. And Im going to scat her terribly. The whole school is. Its like a fall down thats gone out. Robert says thats what her name means in Latin, light.Now therell forever and a day be a part of me where the li ght has gone away.I wish Id been able to say auf wiedersehen to her, but Stefan says she sent her love to me. Im going to try to think of that as a light to take with me.Id better stop writing now. Stefans leaving, and Matt and Meredith and Alaric and I are going to see him off. I didnt mean to get so into this Ive never kept a journal myself. But I want people to know the truth about Elena. She wasnt a saint. She wasnt always sweet and good and honest and agreeable. But she was strong and loving and true to her friends, and in the end she did the most unselfish thing anybody could do. Meredith says it means she chose light over darkness. I want people to know that so theyll always remember.I always will.
