Chapter 7

Justin and I went back home to tell our parents what had happened to Harper. The story was that she went into the woods and was attacked by an animal. Justin and I didn't have the heart to tell Mom and Dad what really happened to her. That would mean telling them about Harper becoming a half-vampire and Klaus. My family planned everything, the funeral, the service; we even had to pick out Harper's casket.

I think the worst part of all this was phoning Harper's parents and telling them what happened. Her parents were still in Youngstown, Ohio still doing their gig. Jenna, Bonnie, Caroline, Stefan and Elena came to the funeral as well and when it was all over, we went back home.

A day later being back home there was a knock at the front door. Jeremy was already on his way to school, Jenna was already on her way to work and Elena, Justin and I were just getting ready before making our way to school.

"I'll get it," I said taking one more quick scoop of corn flakes before getting up and walking to the front door. I opened the door and saw Damon and Stefan standing at the door. I swallowed down the cereal still in my mouth and gave them both a weird look. "What's up?" I asked.

"Hey," Stefan said. "Can we talk" "Um…sur…why?"

"We went to see Katherine" Damon said.

I took a deep breath in before stepping back and gesturing to the house. "Proceed" Stefan gave me a nod before quickly walking straight threw the door and continuing onto the kitchen. Damon did the same. The three of us walked into the kitchen where Elena was sitting at the counter eating her bowl of cereal and Justin was fishing something out of the fridge.

They both stopped what they were doing when the saw the three of us enter the room. "What's going on?" Justin asked.

"We talked to Katherine this morning" Stefan said looking at Elena. Elena nodded. She got up, grabbed her bowl and placed it by the sink and sat back in her seat. I sat beside her, were I previously sat before. Damon stood across from us, playing with an orange, Stefan stood beside me and Justin stood beside Elena.

Stefan and Damon told us about seeing Katherine this morning. They were trying to negotiate with her in giving them the moonstone but she said she would only give it to them if she got her out of the tomb and she also said that if they got her out of the tomb, she would disappear from Mystic Falls. "You don't believe her," Elena said. "Do you?"

"No, of course not," Damon said. "We just want the moonstone"

"According," Stefan said. "To Rose's friend, Slater, there's a way to destroy the spell that Klaus wants to break"

"No spell, no doppelganger sacrifice so ergo you live"

"So," Justin said. "How would you destroy this moonstone?"

"By releasing," Stefan said. "It from the moonstone"

I wasn't paying much attention, I just kept staring at the fruit bowl. I couldn't think of this Sun and Moon Curse, there was already too much on my mind. Harper's death, The Sânge Care Sparge Ciuma Curse and…I hate to say it…Isabella. I felt sorry for her and I let her go all the while, she was the one that murdered my best friend…no…not my best friend, my sister.

"We're still," I shot my head up and came eye to eye with Stefan. "Trying to look for Isabella," Stefan said to me. "We managed to find the hotel she was staying at but…couldn't find her," I nodded. Stefan looked at Elena, Justin and Damon. "You ok?"

"Yeah," I said. "Why wouldn't I be"

"Well," Damon said. "The…Funeral was yesterday"

"I know"

"Alex," Stefan said. "We're still trying to learn more about this Sânge Care Sparge Ciuma Curse but…there isn't much to be found we've looked everywhere books, internet"

"I even," Justin said. "Tried looking at some old family stuff at home and I read the green book about Isabella's family"

"Now you're involved?" I asked. "Alex you're my sister and you said that Isabella told you that I'm involved. I have to find out a why to stop the Sânge Care Sparge Ciuma Curse and the Sun and Moon Curse"

"No you don't!" I said as I shot up from my seat. Everyone's eyes opened wide. "I don't need you all to sacrifice yourselves trying to save me! Harper died because of me! I'm not letting anyone else get hurt because of me!"

"Alex" Stefan said as he took hold of my hand but I quickly pulled my hand back.

"Don't! Just…Just leave me alone. Only worry about your stupid Sun and Moon Curse" I stormed down the hallway and out the house. I didn't want any of them coming after me so I grabbed my wand from my back pocket and flashed my self some where they couldn't find me.

When I opened my eyes, I saw I was standing in Central Park…some where in Central park. There was nobody here. I decided since I was here, that I would stay and explore the town since I couldn't really explore New York that past couple of days. I turned around and was about to take a step before I heard someone start clapping.

"Wow Russo," Someone said behind me. I turned around and my mouth dropped open. I couldn't be. She…She died. It was Stevie. Stevie Nichols but…she looked different. She didn't have the blonde streak in her hair anymore and her hair wasn't short. Her hair was longer, around my height and the hair color was the same color as mine. "I didn't think you had that in you" She said leaning to the side and her hands still cuffed together. She had an evil grin across her face.

"St-Ste-Stevie? Is that you?"

"No, it's Jessica Alba," She laughed. "Of coarse it's me"

"But…how? Max pushed you over and you shattered into millions of pieces"

"Long story that I don't want to tell you. You know Russo, I'm not finished with you," She stood straight and walked towards me. "I still don't get why you backstabbed me"

"Backstabbed you?"

"Yeah you back stabbed me and you Russos had the nerve to kill me and yet, you're all still heroes to the Wizard World"

"We didn't mean to do that to you. Max…you know how Max is. He touches things and then they…break"

Stevie then started circling me. "We could've gone places, Alex. We could have been the faces of the Wizard World, the most powerful wizards in the universe. I bet even Klaus couldn't touch you"

I turned and looked at Stevie straight in the eye. "You know about the curse"

"Know about it, I practically breathe it. That was the first thing Klaus wanted me to do after I join him"

"Yo…You're with Klaus?"

"Yup, he found me, took me to his witch buddies and they brought me back to life. See, Klaus likes to make a bond with ever supernatural being. Witches, werewolves, fairies, trolls…even wizards and I was the first one to sign up"

"But you lost your powers, you touched the power source and it immediately gave your powers to Warren the rightful owner"

Another grin appeared across her face. "But if that owner dies, it goes to the next wizard in line"

"You killed Warren?"

"No, Klaus did. Don't worry, Alex, I'm here to make you a deal"

"Here it comes"

"If you help me over power the Wizard World again, I'll help you with your curse problem"

"But you have the full power, why would you want to over power the Wizard World?"

"For more power, duh. Come on, Alex. You and me…we can be unstoppable"

"No" I turned around and started walking away.

"Suite yourself but when Klaus shows up in town, you'll be sorry"

I turned to say something but she was gone. I then continued onto Waverly Place.

I walked down the street of Waverly Place and stopped right before the steps and looked at the entrance of The Late Night Bite. The sign 'Closed For Good' was still hanging on the door.

It had been months since I've spoken to Alucard and Cindy and they would find me in Mystic Falls and tell me everything. Even though I now know who Katherine is and the Sun and the Moon Curse, I wanted to know if they knew anything about the Sânge care sparge ciuma Curse. They must know something.

I opened the door and walked down the stairs…while banging my head on that damn pipe again. "Alucard!" I called. "Cindy!" I walked around some tables before tripping on something and fell face first to the ground.

I groaned as I got up and started bushing off the dirt on my jacket. "Hey, who left," I looked down to see what I tripped over and jumped back into a table and a couple of chairs. Cindy and Alucard were lying on the ground. Dead. They both had big wooden stakes lodged into their chests. "Oh my god, what happened to you two"

"Alex?" I turned around and saw Juliet standing behind the counter. Her eyes were wet and her face was puffy.

"Juliet? Is that you?" I asked as I creped around the sandwich bar and walked towards the back.

Juliet walked up to me and gave me a big hug making it hard to breathe. "Alex," she mumbled in my shoulder. "I'm so glad to see you"

"You too," I tried saying. "Can't breathe"

"Oh," Juliet let go of me and back up. "Right, sorry. I…haven't been around humans for a while" She looked over at Alucard and Cindy's body on the ground diagonally from us.

"Juliet," I said. "What happened?"

"I don't know. I've been away for a few months and I was sent to New York so I thought I would take this time to see my parents. So…I came and…found them like this"

"How long have you been here for?"

"At least an hour"

"I'm so sorry Juliet" I said as I rubbed her shoulder.

"Thanks Alex," she wiped the tears from her eyes with her thumb. "So, Alex, why are you here? How's Justin"

"He's doing great. He's actually really enjoying Mystic Falls now"

Juliet gave me a great big smile. "Thats excellent"

"Anyway, I…got into a fight with Justin and Elena…and…Stefan and I guess Damon"

"Boyfriend troubles?"

"Stefan and I are…taking a break"

"I'm sorry"

"It's ok. I needed a break from 'home' so…I came to my real home"

"Why did you come here?"

"I came a few months ago to ask your parents about your history. How you were created and they were going to tell me about a woman named Katerina…but then I found out Katerina is Katherine Pierce. She's-"

"I know who Katerina is"

"Right…and you're parents were going to come to Mystic Falls and tell me but…they never showed up so I thought since I'm here, I would come and ask and…here we are," Juliet let out a sigh and walked over to her parents bodies and looked at both of them. "Isn't your kind supposed to turn to dust after their staked?"

"Yes when you take the stake out. The vampire who killed them had the decency of leaving them in"

"How do you know it's a vampire?"

"My parents were 2000 years old. No pathetic human could kill them," she turned her head to me "No offence"

"None taken" I said.

She turned her head back still looking at her parents. "It must have been an Original"

"Klaus?" I asked.

She immediately turned around and looked at me with a scared face. "How do you know Klaus"

"Juliet I know everything. Klaus, Elijah, The Sun and Moon Curse…The Sânge Care Sparge Ciuma Curse"

Juliet walked over to the drink machine and started playing with her figures. "Oh my gosh," I heard her whisper to herself. "What am I going to do? She's going to kill me"

"A woman named Rose told me"

Juliet turned around. "Rose! I knew 'she' should have staked her when 'she' had the chance"

"Isa…bella told me too"

"You…You know Isabella?"

"She showed up into town a coupe of weeks ago. She's been following Katherine for a friend of hers Mari"

"Marisol"

"You know her too"

"She's a good friend of Klaus"

"Yeah I know"

There was a pause. Juliet was quite, thinking of what she was going to do. I decided to break the silence. "So…what's with the get up?"

She looked down at her outfit. "'She' makes us dress professional. If we don't she gets mad and you don't want 'her' mad"

"Whose 'her'?"

"I shouldn't have said that," She turned, walked over to me and grabbed my hands. "Alex, do me a favor. Do all of us a favor. Run"

"What?"

"Run. Hide. Somewhere they can't find you"

"What? Why?"

"They're after you"

"Who?"

"The Originals. It's not just Klaus or Elijah. It's all of them"

"But what about Elena"

"She's not as important. Klaus is the only one who wants to break it. That's at the top of his list but if you're there, it'll end badly"

"Does 'she' want me too?"

"Yes…desperately"

I then started thinking of the conversation I had with Isabella. "Would 'she' be…Marina"

Juliet's eyes popped out of her sockets. "How-"

"Isabella told me. She said the night she turned she remember a woman named Marina came looking for her. She never got a face though"

"Thank god. Alex, please. If you love your friends and family, here and in Mystic Falls, you will run"

"Juliet, I can't just pick up all my things and leave. I have to help my family"

"But Elena isn't your blood cousin"

"I don't care. Related by blood or not she's still my cousin and I'm still going to help her. If I leave her…she'll be hurt and I guarantee she'll die"

"Alex, if you don't, Ah!" Juliet fell to the floor and started screaming and crying.

"Juliet!" I screamed as I fell to my knees and tried helping her. "What's going on"

"Well," I looked up and saw Stevie walking down the stairs, avoiding the big pipe on the ceiling, holding her hand to Juliet. "Looks like I'm missing one heck of a party down here"

I stood up, clutching onto my wand, and walked towards Stevie. "Stevie, what the hell are you doing?"

"See that's the thing about wizards and witches. When you're a full wizard, you can use witch spells. I read some of your witch friend's spell. What's her name…oh yeah, Bonnie"

I looked at Juliet rolling around on the ground clutching her head. "Stop the spell," Stevie ignored me and kept smiling at Juliet. "Stop the spell, you'll kill her!" She ignored me again. I then grabbed Stevie's arm and pulled it down. Juliet's screams then stopped. "What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked Stevie she gave me a smirk.

Juliet got up, slowly, from the ground and walked up to us. "Who are you?" She asked. "Why did you do that to me?"

"Names Stevie. I serve Klaus," Juliet froze staring into Stevie's dark brown eyes. "I know you would hate if Klaus found out you were here. So why don't yo scram"

In an instant, Juliet ran out of the restaurant leaving a gust of wind behind her. Stevie looked at me and gave me another smirk. I glared at her and made my way to the stairs and went straight up them. "Come on, Alex," Stevie said following straight behind me. "You're going to have to talk to me at some point"

"Leave me alone" I said as I pushed the front entrance door open and stepped out onto Waverly Place.

I continued on down the street before Stevie grabbed my hand. "Alex, come on," I rolled my eyes before looking at her. "Here me out," I let out sigh. "The Wizard World won't help you,"

"How are you so sure?"

"I just know, ok. They don't want to get involved with the other breed of vampires, werewolves and they most certainly don't want to get involved with witches. So, if you go to the wizard council tomorrow and come with your entire freak show friends, they'll throw you right out the door but, if you help me over power the wizard world, you can gain full power. That means you can stop Klaus. Witches are weak; especially one and your vampire boyfriends are only a hundred years old. Klaus is a thousand. Klaus could rip both their head off in 3.5 seconds"

"But," I said. "Juliet said run if I want to save my family and friends"

"If you run from Klaus, he'll stop at nothing to get you back…that even means hurting the people you love the most," She stood aside and looked threw the window of Waverly Sub Station. Mom was there serving some customers and Dad was in the back making Sandwiches. Max was cleaning up the dining room and kitchen. Stevie turned her head and looked at me. "Would you really put them threw that while you run for the rest of your life. You'll be no different then Katherine,"

I looked down and didn't say anything. Unfortunately, she was right. I already lost one important person in my life because of me. I wasn't going to risk losing another. "Alright then," I shot my head up looking at Stevie. "I guess I know your answer," She turned her heal and walked straight up the stairs then turned around and looked at me. "Good luck with what you are doing now. I'll be sure to be at the funeral" She smirked before turning forward and taking a step.

"Wait!" I called.

Stevie stopped and turned around. "Yes?" She asked.

I took in a deep breath and walked up the stairs and stood in front of her. "You promise Klaus won't know about Elena and I"

"Cross my heart and hope die"

"And no one will get hurt"

"I promise"

"Then…we have a deal," I let out my hand for a shake.

Stevie gave me a big smile before grabbing my hand and started shaking it. "I always knew you would come around, Russo," I nodded. "We'll be in touch" She smiled as she backed away, turned around and continued down the street. I watched her walk down the street before she disappeared in the crowd.

I spent the rest of the afternoon painting. I haven't painted in a while and decided to go to Central Park and paint. Painting was my only relaxation living here and New York and now since I lived in Mystic Falls, I haven't had time to paint since I'm always dealing with vampires and werewolves and other supernatural beings.

By the time I was done it was already six o'clock. "I've been here for that long?" I asked my self. I pulled my wand out of my back pocket and flashed myself in front of the Sub Station. I thought I might as well say hi to my parents since I was here.

I continued down the street before I saw Justin, Damon and Elena walk out of the Sub Station. Justin stopped and glared at me. "Oh boy" I said before turning and running down the street but Damon immediately stood in front of me and pulled me down the stairs where I stood in front of Justin.

"Alex," Justin said. "What were you thinking?"

"I was thinking," I said. "I needed a break"

"Of all," Damon said. "The idiotic things you could do, you do this. You're worst then your cousin"

I looked at Elena. "What did you do?" I asked sternly.

"That's not important right now," Damon said. "What's important is getting you home right now before something else bad happens"

"What were you doing here in the first place?" Justin asked.

"I had to ask questions"

"From who?"

"I…I can't say"

"What do you mean you can't say. What can't you-" He looked up and froze with his mouth wide open. I turned around and saw Juliet standing at the top of the stairs, right in front of The Late Night Bite. She froze as well.

"That's why," I said still looking at Justin. "I couldn't tell you"

Justin walked passed me and stood in front of me looking at Juliet. "Juliet?" he asked. "Is it really you?"

A smile appeared across Juliet's face. "Yes," she said. "It's me"

She said walking down the stairs and standing in front of Justin. Justin grabbed her hand in his and smiled. "I can't believe your back. This is going to be so great. I can move back to New York or you can move to Mystic Falls and we can be together, go to school together-"

"No, Justin…I'm not coming back"

"What do you mean. You're here, your young again. Why…Why can't we-"

"I'm not allowed to be free until I repay my debt"

"What debt?"

Juliet let go of Justin's hand and walked to me. "Alex, please. Do what say because…We'll be doomed"

"I…I can't Juliet. If I leave, everyone I ever cared about will get hurt" I said.

"Please reconsider," I shook my head. Juliet took a deep breath in, turned around and looked at Justin. "Good bye, Justin" She gave him a kiss on a check and then vanished.

Justin, Damon and Elena took me back home. Elena told me how she got Rose to take her to a good friend of hers because he knew where to find Klaus. When they got there, the friend was dead but his girlfriend was there and she knew the right people to call. Elena made her call somebody who knew Klaus and tell them that Elena was here. Damon came to save Elena but by the time he got there, the guy came with his henchmen but then Elijah stepped threw the doors. We all thought he was dead. Elijah killed the guy and his henchmen and then left. They then came home and looked for me.

"You didn't have to come after me," I said as we all stood in the kitchen. "I was coming home anyway"

"Alex," Justin said. "How are we supposed to know that? You could have been kidnapped by Elijah or Klaus"

"I'm a wizard. I'd like to see them try"

The front door opened and Jeremy stepped threw. He was bleeding and had a big bite mark on his neck. Elena ran up to him. "Oh my gosh," she said helping Jeremy. "What happened?"

"I'm fine," Jeremy said. He looked over to me and let out a sigh. "Stefan"

"What happened?" I asked.

"I went to go get the moonstone from Katherine but, she got me and I was stuck in there. Bonnie tried opening the tomb but couldn't. Katherine was going to kill me but…Stefan jumped in and saved me. Now…he's stuck in there"

I paused for a second and shook my head. "No. No. This can't be happening," I pulled my wand out from my back pocket and flashed myself in front of the tomb. I ran down the stairs and stood at the entrance.

"Stefan!" I called. No answer "Stefan! Are you ok?" No answer, again. Damon, Elena and Justin then came running down the stairs. "How could you guys let this happened?" I asked.

"It was kind of hard," Damon said. "You know, looking for you all day, saving your cousin and trying to get the moonstone"

"I'm fine! I told you to stop worrying about me! I don't need saving. I'm always the one ending up doing it" No one said anything. I looked down into the tomb trying to look for Stefan but couldn't. I then brushed pass Damon and Justin and walked up the stairs and went home.
