A/N: I know I haven't updated for awhile, I didn't really have any inspiration, but I read the reviews, and now I do. So, enjoy. Please R & R!
"Matt could you do me a favor?" Stefan asked walking into Matt's office.
"Sure Stefan. What do you need?" Matt looked concerned. "Can you run a Sophie Cross through your data bases?" "Sure, no problem. I gotta ask, why?" Matt leaned on his desk looking at Stefan.
"A girl named Sophie Cross showed up. She's kind of sketchy. So a look through the data bases would be really helpful." Stefan sighed. "Alright. I'll get back to you on it."
Stefan left the office and took a walk through the woods. There was an abandoned hiking trail he remembered from when he was younger in Mystic Falls. He knew it by heart even though most of the trail was washed away or was overgrown.
Stefan was surprised to see Sophie Cross sitting there.
"Hey." Stefan said sitting next to her. Katherine's heart beated faster around Stefan. She was trying to control it, because she knew Stefan could probably sense it
"Whatcha doing out here?" Stefan didn't look her directly in the eyes.
"I just walked. I do that. Its mainly how I end up places like Mystic Falls. I walk and get lost in my head. And lost in the real world"
Katherine really hated the good girl act. She was pulling from her younger sister, Karissa. She had been so innocent, and sweet. She tended to get lost and her father would run out at odd hours trying to find her
Stefan and Katherine stayed silent for awhile. "You know, Sophie, you don't seem all that bad." Stefan was trying to be pessimistic, but this girl did seem nice. Maybe rough around the edges, and jumpy. But Stefan could tell she had a warm heart.

"The symbol is a teleportation spell. It teleports people to certain places." Bonnie said, almost hypnotized by the symbol.
"So is Sophie a witch then, Bon?" Caroline peered at the symbol as well. It was hard to keep eyes off of.
"No. Witches can't use this spell. Its something that teleports souls." Bonnie looked impressed. A higher power must have done this.
"So Sophie isn't exactly as innocent as she seems." Damon grinned. He knew this Sophie girl wasn't going to be without some dirt.
"Yeah. But we need to keep her around. There is some powerful magic going on here, so powerful, it could completely destroy Mystic Falls." Bonnie flipped over the paper with the symbol on it.
"And it isn't reversible magic, either."

"Apparently she's a 17 year old runaway, Sophie Cross. She ran from foster parents claiming something was after her. She hasn't been seen or heard from for 7 months." Matt finished reading.
Stefan reread it. It was the same picture and everything. Sophie checked out. "Sophie Katherine Cross" Matt repeated the name.
Apparently, her last siting had been with a young girl, who was trying to pull her away. The man who had reported it had said they vanished into thin air. And left a symbol behind.
Stefan had Matt print out all of this information. He knew he had to show it to Damon and Elena. While Stefan had a feeling Sophie wasn't evil, she was definitely up to no good.
