Chapter 6: Learning More

BPOV

Waking up the next morning was harder than the first. I kept having nightmares about vampires and werewolves fighting, it got so bad that I woke up screaming. I didn't know what to think about these dreams, they seemed so real and they frightened me very much. I wondered if this was what happened sometime in the past, before they were cursed. I knew one thing for certain, I had a bunch of research to do after school today. I would have to stop by the Grill for dinner to keep and eye on that group of people from yesterday. Maybe today I'll try to learn who they are. I don't trust them yet and I'm sure that as a newcomer, they won't trust me but something tells me that we will have to work together for something really soon.

I got out of bed, dragging my feet, took a quick shower to help me wake up and got dressed in a pair of jeans with a black off the shoulder top and black flats. I then added a touch of makeup to hide the dark circles under my eyes left by the bad night of sleep. I didn't need anyone asking me questions on my second day of school.

I grabbed my bag and a granola bar for breakfast, then went out the door. I arrived at the school a few minutes early, so I sat in my car thinking. I was going to figure out who these people were that I saw yesterday. I then realized I just needed to use my powers to listen in on their conversation later tonight at Mystic Grill. I hated to ease drop like that but they knew something that I needed to know.

By lunch time, I was really tired. The limited amount of sleep I got last night really had me dragging and I was debating on heading out to my car for a short nap when someone stepped in front of me. "Hello, my name is Caroline." The blonde haired vampire I saw yesterday with the witch said to me.

"Hello, I'm Bella." I said smiling, maybe getting info from these people won't be so hard after all.

"I don't know what your doing here Bella, but you stay away from Elena." She said in a serious whisper and I couldn't help but wonder, who the hell is Elena?

"I don't know what your talking about Caroline, but who the hell is Elena and why would I even want to be around her?" I asked looking her in the eyes. I wasn't scared of vampires.

She looked at me and her eyes started to dilate like she was concentrating hard on something. "You will stay away from Elena. You will get in your car and leave. You will forget all about this happening."

I finally understood what she was doing, not that compelling me would work, but I didn't want them to know, so I walked out, got into my truck and left. I called the school, telling them that I was feeling very ill and I went home to get something to take for it. They said it was fine and if I wanted to just take the rest of the day off, they would call my teachers and let them know. I told her that was what I would do and went home to start my research, plus I needed to take something for the killer headache that I had.

I went into the office that I was in last night and started pulling out old diaries to look through. There probably were faster ways to find out the information by using magic but I needed to do this in the normal fashion right now. I sat there for several hours, it was getting ready to turn dark outside when I finally took a break and I knew I needed to go get something to eat. I took the diary I was reading with me to read as I ate dinner.

DPOV

That Swan girl came into the Grill today and sat at the same booth that she did yesterday. I thought that Caroline said she compelled that girl to stay away, so how is she sitting in that booth looking over at us every now and again. She looked like she was trying to read a really old book, it almost looked like an old diary. "Caroline, I thought you compelled her to stay away from Elena?" I asked, pissed that she had lied to us.

"I did, I told her to stay away from Elena and to leave school. She left school, I guess it didn't work cause she doesn't know who Elena is. Or she says, she doesn't know who Elena is." Carline said.

"Why are you worried about her?" My brother Stefan asked.

"Look at her. Don't tell me that something about her doesn't scream to stay away from her." I said looking at Swan and trying to get some kind of read on her. When she met my eyes, she showed that she wasn't scared of me but there was something else there, in her eyes. I just don't know what it was, but for some strange reason I wanted to figure out what it was. Our eyes stayed locked till she broke the connection when the waitress brought her food out to her.

"I can't get a read on her that says she is anything other than human, and I can normally get a read on anyone that is anything but human." Bonnie said concentrating on Swan. Almost as if Swan had noticed what Bonnie was doing her eyes jumped up to Bonnie's and turned cold, hard, mean, and I saw Bonnie flinch back a little at the stare.

"I see what you mean, are you alright Bonnie?" Stefan asked still looking at the girl. She turned her attention back onto the book that she was reading and I found that I really wanted to know what she was reading. I didn't know what was coming over me, I had shut down my emotions years ago. Why were they coming out again. There was something about this girl that made me both want to go up and kiss her, but at the same time stay away from her.

BPOV

I felt the one named Bonnie, the witch of the group, trying to use her magic on me. I was stronger than her so all it did was piss me off. I was sure my eyes showed my anger cause she actually flinched back. I listened in on their conversation, using a spell that I learned a long time ago, to see why they were trying to use magic on me. "I see what you mean, are you alright Bonnie?" asked the male vampire that I saw at school, who's name I still didn't know. The other male vampire kept staring at me too, I didn't know what was up with him, on one hand I felt like a part of me wanting to run over and stake him, on the other hand I wanted to run over and kiss him. I didn't know what to think about that, never before had I had such mixed up emotions about someone.

"Guys we need to focus on finding the moonstone. Katherine won't stop till she gets her hands on it and Elijah wants it for something too." The human girl who looked so familiar said pulling everyone's attention to her.

"Bonnie's working on a way to find the moonstone without having it or knowing exactly what it looks like." So Bonnie was the witch. Now I wonder what the moonstone is and why are they looking for it. I kept my eyes on the diary I was reading as I listened. When I was finished with dinner though, I went ahead and left. They weren't talking about anything that was going to be useful.

I sat in the office for another hour looking through the diary before something popped out at me.

Diary,

They are at it again, the lycanthrope and the vampires. They bring their battles closer and closer to the tiny village that I live in. I didn't know what to do anymore but they needed to be stopped before they put anyone else in danger. Tonight is the night of the full moon. Tonight is the night that I need to make sure that they are stopped once and for all. Tonight I will perform the ritual to stop them from harming anyone else. The leader of the vampires is the one that I fear the most, he is an original, but there is something different about him. He is part lycanthrope and part vampire. I can't figure out how that happened but he is the one causing the most damage he has to be stopped. By controlling the vampires and the lycanthrope and weakening them it will weaken him also. I will have to include in the spell a way to control his lycanthrope aspect to where it can no longer come out. I'll use the moonstone that my husband gave me, it is filled with love and goodness, and I will need it to help control the evil that is these creatures. My only wish is that my daughters to live a world where evil doesn't threaten it all the time.

Goodnight

Maria Isabel Swan

That was the last entry in the diary so I don't know if the spell worked. It was my guess that it did since everyone wanted to break the sun and moon curse. Maria Isabel Swan must be who I was named after, even all these thousand of years later. Now I need to keep looking for where exactly the moonstone can be found, and what they need to break this curse. It has to be here somewhere, but tonight its almost midnight and I think that means it is time to go to bed.
