"What are you doing?" Blaine walked in to find Blair writing in her journal.
"I have a matter of hours left. Leave me alone. I don't want you to see me like this." Blair demanded.
"Why? You don't want me to see how pathetic you really are? Don't want me to see the scared little girl that you tried so hard to repress?" Blaine walked closer.
"Stop." Blair said quietly.
"Or what, Blair? Are you gonna kill me?" Blaine taunted.
"I said stop!" She threw a pencil at him, only to find he had disappeared. He was a hallucination. "Shit." She muttered, before continuing to write. She heard her phone buzz from the table next the her. She grabbed it and answered.
"Yes?"
"When did you plan on telling me you'd had a run in with some werewolf venom?" Klaus asked.
"There's nothing you can do. At best you'll be back in six hours and I'll be dead in five. I didn't want to bother."
"Love, you'll never bother me. I'll be there, and I'll save you." He declared. She started coughing ferociously.
"It's okay. It's okay. I know I'm gonna die. You don't have to comfort me with promises you know you can't keep." Blair assured him.
"I'll be there soon." He told her, before hanging up.
"Again with the promises..." She trailed off. She threw her phone to the other end of the couch, before laying back, closing her eyes and falling asleep.
When she woke up, she was no longer in her house, but in a very familiar place. She was outside her old family home. She stood up as she heard the screams of her father, running towards them. She ran in just in time to see Blaine, covered in blood, stabbing their father in the chest. "No!!" She screamed, a tear running down her face. "You'll die for this!"
She sped up and pinned him against the wall by his throat. "I'll kill you!" She yelled at him again. Fear filled his eyes.
"Blair. Blair, it's not real, you need to stop." Blair was pulled back into reality, to see she held Elena up against the wall.
"Oh my God- I- uh- I'm sorry." She backed away from her. Elena only nodded and gave her an upset smile.
"It's okay. I wanted to see how you were so I got Blaine to come with me." Elena told her. Blair chuckled.
"Obviously not too well." She turned to Blaine, taking him into a hug. Once they let go, she looked him in the eyes.
"Can you give me and Elena a minute?" She asked, he nodded, leaving the room. "I know you don't know me, but when I die, can you give these to the people they're addressed to?"
She held out four letters to Elena. Elena took them without a second thought. "Of course I will."
Blair let a single tear go trail down her face. "I don't want to die."
Before she could say anything else, Elena pulled her into a hug. She sniffled as she hugged the younger vampire back. "You've done this before, haven't you?"
"Unfortunately, yeah." Elena said as they let go of each other. "But this time we have Klaus. Stefan made sure he's coming back. He'll be here in time."
"I know you want to try and encourage me in my final moments, but if you really believed that, you wouldn't have taken the letters."
Elena looked down at them. Blair began to cough again, this time, blood was on her hands my the time she finished. "I'm sorry. If you hadn't gotten involved with Jeremy-"
"Hey, family is the most important thing. I get that. The only reason I'm not really ready to go is because I don't know what Blaine will do. I just got him back."
"We'll make sure Blaine is okay. He'd do anything for us, so we'll do anything we can to help." Elena reassured her.
"Did he call Alexandra yet?" Blair asked quietly.
"Yes. She coming back from New Orleans as we speak. We don't know when she'll be here."
"Oh, and uh-" Blair picked up her journal. "When I- y'know- bite the dust, could you take it and give it to Blaine?" She asked with a smile.
"Yeah. Absolutely." Elena put the letters in her bag.
"I appreciate you coming." Blair told her.
"Of course. You know, you're a lot nicer than I assumed you'd be."
"I'm dying, I've got nothing to be but nice." Blair sat back down. "But thanks, I think."
"I'll make sure-"
"Hey, look, no need to make anymore promises. I've had enough of people treating me differently because I'm gonna die."
Elena nodded. "Rest easy, Blair Nolan." She left after that, leaving Blair to write more in her journal.
"Aibreann." Blair's eyebrows furrowed, as she looked up to see who just used her middle name. She saw her mother.
"Mother?" He bottom lip quivered. "You aren't- You can't be real."
"I know, Aibreann, but this is what you wanted to see." Her mother said.
"You- I'm so sorry." Tears spilled out of her eyes.
"It's okay. It's okay. My only regret is that you'd never had the chance to meet your baby sister." Her mother said.
"What about Father?"
"Aibreann, I'm just in your subconscious. I know only what you do." She said with a frown.
"I-" She stopped and let out a nasty cough. "I know. You can't be here. You need to go away."
"This is what you wanted-"
"I said go away!" She yelled, her hands balled into fists.
"As you wish. I love you, Aibreann."
"I love you too, mother." Tears soaked her cheeks as her mother disappeared. She took her journal and scribbled down everything that happened.
"And you told me not to make promises I couldn't keep." She turned to see Klaus. She stood up, letting her journal fall to the ground. They both walked towards each other. Once they met, they kissed. It was euphoric.
Once they pulled away from each other, he bit into her wrist and offered it to her. She grabbed it, closing her eyes as she drank his blood.
"If only this were real."
She opened her eyes to see no one was there. She let out a sob as she fell back into a side table. She gripped the sides as she cried. She couldn't die. She began coughing again, falling to her knees. When she recovered, She laid out on the floor, staring up at the ceiling. Taking a deep breath, she slowly stood up.
"You look like hell." Blaine said as he walked in.
"At this point, I don't know what's real and what isn't. I think I have the right."
"If it makes you feel better, I brought your car alcohol." He held up the scotch and glasses.
"I knew there was a reason I loved you." She smiled as he set the glasses down a poured scotch into them.
He rolled his eyes and handed her the glass. "Don't push it."
"Fine. I'd like to propose a toast. To me dying." She held up the glass. Blaine frowned.
"Blair, you dying isn't funny."
"It's just a little funny." Blair smiled and raised her eyebrows.
"Fine, Blair. Just give up on yourself. I'll see you when Klaus gets back." Blaine stormed out of the house, obviously upset. With a sigh, Blair finished the rest of her drink, and went to sleep again, but this time, it was a sleep she would never wake up from.

"Blair?" Blaine busted into the house, to find her laying on the couch, blood trailing down her chin. Her body was desiccated.
"No, no, no, no, no. Blair! Wake up!" He shook her, but it did nothing. Klaus walked in wide eyed when he saw her. He quickly ran over to her, biting into his wrist and shoving it into her mouth, in an attempt to wake her up.
When this didn't work either, Klaus took her body into a hug. He held her close to him, whispering to her. Blaine was breathing deeply from crying. Elena arrived not long after. A tear fell as she saw the desiccated body of the girl. When they two men weren't looking, she slipped the journal into her bag, before comforting Blaine.
