Do you want to build a snowman?

- The Lyrical Diaries –

Hope’s POV
With a sigh I trooped together with Damon and Stefan in front of Dahlia’s locked bedroom door. Neither of us had seen the youngest sibling of the Salvatore family in three days and nights. So to say we were getting a tad worried, would be an understatement.
“Come on Dahl…”Stefan tried to reason with his twin. “You can’t do this every time Klaus decides to skip town without giving you a reason.”.
“Oh, he better has a good reason.”I growled under my breath which caused Damon to smirk.
“Stefan is right Dahl.”my boyfriend decided to be supportive for once. “Klaus wants you to sulk about him not being here. You’re playing right into his cards by wallowing in pity.”.
Again it stayed quiet at the other side of the door.
“Okay, move.”I told the boys who backed away from the door and leaned against the wall across from it instead.
I lowered myself onto the ground and took a seat right in front Dahlia’s door with my back leaning against the rich wood.
“Dee?”I asked and let my fingers softly tap against the door.
No answer.
Being a witchpire I could have easily broken down the door from the moment it got locked. Hell, even Stefan and Damon would have been able to do that. But we didn’t want to push too much. Just enough for Dahlia to open up.
Another sigh escaped my lips since there was only one thing left I could try. My greyish blue eyes locked with the Salvatore brothers as a silent warning. Both looked at me confused since they didn’t have a clue what I was going to do. When I started to sing softly however, Damon rolled his eyes while Stefan shook his head.

‘Do you want to build a snowman?
Come on, let’s go and play!
I never see you anymore,
Come out the door,
It’s like you’ve gone away.
We used to be best buddies,
And now we’re not.
Do you want to build a snowman?
It doesn’t have to be a snowman.’.

From behind the door some very quiet noises could be heard with our vampire hearing. Rustling sheets, the movement of a person…
“Go away, Hope…”the muffled voice of Dahlia spoke. She sounded broken, as if she had been crying too much.
“Okay, bye…”I sighed and looked desperately up at the two vampires before me.
Damon offered me a hand and pulled me back to my feet.
“You really thought Frozen would get her out?”Stefan asked me amused.
“I’m not done trying yet.”I told the youngest Salvatore male. “But I might need some help.”.

‘Do you want to build a snowman?
Or ride our bikes around the halls?
I think some company is overdue.
I’ve started talking to the pictures on the walls!
(Hang in there Joan!)
It gets a little lonely,
All these empty rooms,
Just watching the hours tick by…’.

Dahlia’s POV
My green eyes were fixed on my phone that rested on my nightstand. For three days straight I had been waiting for a call or a text… Anything really that would explain why Klaus suddenly disappeared into thin air.
I knew the others were trying to locate him for me. Hope for sure had tried a locating spell. Damon for sure had called Elijah. Stefan on his turn would have called Rebekah.
But if they came up empty… That meant something bad was going down, no? That he was in danger. Why does that jerk always think that he’s better off on his own?!
In frustration I grabbed my phone and threw it at the wall. The device split open causing the battery to tumble out. I couldn’t care less…
My attention got suddenly drawn by yet another knock. It had been three hours since the last ‘get-Dahlia-out-of-her-room’ intervention. Hmmm… New record.
“Dee?”Hope’s voice sounded. “Please talk to me?”.
“I don’t have anything to talk about.”I answered, my voice monotone.
“Then we’ll talk about nothing.”she picked in. “I’m quite desperate actually… For the past three days I only had Damon and Stefan to talk to. Do you have any idea what you’re doing to me?”.
A small smile appeared on my lips hearing Hope’s played dramatic tone.
“They don’t want to go shopping with me, they don’t want to watch Disney movies with me…”she continued. “Seriously, the paintings on the walls are even better best friend material then your brothers.”.
“Says the one who’s dating one of them.”I reminded her.
“I said they are bad ‘best friend material’, not bad dating material.”my friend pointed out and even though I couldn’t see her, I knew she was grinning.
“Come on Dee.”she said in a softer voice. “That big bad wolf isn’t worth your tears.”.
“And yet I can’t help crying them.”I answered. “Just… Leave me alone.”.
“Okay, I guess… But know I’m right here for you when you need me.”came the reply followed by footsteps that grew softer and softer as they walked away from my door.

‘Elsa?
Please, I know you’re in there.
People are asking where you’ve been.
They say ‘have courage’, and I’m trying too.
I’m right out here for you, just let me in.
We only have each other.
It’s just you and me.
What are we going to do?’.

Two hours later it felt as if I had used up my whole supply of salty tears. My eyes started to droop and I was on the verge of falling into a restless sleep when suddenly-
“Dee!”.
I blinked a few times in confusion. It was Hope’s voice without a doubt. But it didn’t come from outside my door. It came from-…
I jumped up in surprise when something hit my window with a loud thud. My confusion grew even more when I inspected the big stain on the glass that stuck to my window from the outside. It was powdery white and cold. Snow? But that’s impossible! It’s already spring!
Another snowball hit my window before I cautiously opened it. What I saw took my breath away.
The whole garden was covered in a nice layer of snow. Icicles dangled from the tree branches and even the pond that formed the centre of our large garden was frozen over.
“There she is!”another voice called out and when I looked directly below my window I saw Hope, Damon and Stefan standing there in their light winter wear. It had been Stefan who had spoken.
“See? This is what happens when the two of us don’t hang out!”Hope scolded me. “Then I’m going to experiment with my powers and spells!”.
“And she’s very good at that!”Damon added with a smirk.
“So, what’s it going to be Dee?”Hope asked me as she held a pair of ice skates up for me to see. “Do you want to build a snowman?”.
“It doesn’t have to be a snowman!”my brothers said in unison smiling.
I glanced back inside to where my disabled phone rested on the floor.
“The hell with him.”I grumbled to myself before I jumped out of the window to meet my family for some late winter fun.
And just like that I knew that if Klaus came back to Mystic Falls, he wouldn’t only have to face me…
