I'm so sorry for the long wait. Between studying for exams, taking them and starting a new semester, I haven't had time to write. I know this one is a bit short but I wanted you guys just to get a feel about what is to come a head for the story. Plus, I wanted to post this A.S.A.P so you guys wouldn't have to wait any longer. The next one will be longer, I promise.

Chapter 9

When I got home, Stefan was inside by the stairs with Elena. Stefan then relived Elena's uncle…or should I saw father, John, came back to Mystic Falls because he stated he could help us with Klaus and the whole Sun and Moon curse problem. While on his visit, he relived to Jenna that he was Elena's birth father and that wasn't the worst part, that were-bitch, Jules, told Tyler that Caroline is a vampire as well as Stefan and Damon and Jules and her were pack kidnapped Caroline and almost killed her but Dr. Martin, one of Elijah's witches, stopped the werewolves and saved us all. Stefan came back to my place after and took Bonnie, Elena and I to Caroline's place for a sleepover to cheer her up.

The weakened went by and we were back to school. Elena drove Justin, Jeremy, Bonnie and I to school. Justin and I hadn't really spoken since the Juliet incident. I told him about Juliet coming that night and the day I went to see Alucard and Cindy and he didn't say a word to me all weekend.

When we got to school, I immediately went looking for Stefan. I walked up to his locket and leaned against the locket beside his. When he closed his locker, he gave me a smile and leaned in for a kiss. I kissed him and smiled. "Hey," I said. "How was your night?"

"Good," he said. "How's Justin. Has he talked to you yet?"

"No, he's still ma-"

"Alex!" We both shot our heads up and saw Justin, quickly running down the busy hallway pushing pass people. "Alex! You'll never guess whose here?"

"Bon Jovi?"

He rolled his eyes. "No…Stevie"

My eyes opened out of my sockets. "St-Ste-Stevie's here?"

"Yeah and she's alive. Come, I'll show you" He grabbed my hand before he stopped and froze in the middle of the hallway.

"Why'd you stop?" He didn't say anything. Just kept staring down the hallway. I looked at what he was looking at and froze as well. Stevie stood in the middle of the hallway. She stood out like a black sheep in a heard of white. She smiled at us for a minute before making her move towards us.

"Alex," Stefan whispered into my ear. "Is that the girl you told me about that tried to take over the Wizard World with you?"

"Yes she is" I said.

Stevie stopped right in front of us and gave us a big grin. "Miss me?" she asked.

"How," Justin said. "is this possible? Max 'killed' you"

"Oh yeah," she said as she walked right up into my brother's face. "Thanks for that, by the way. Didn't think you Russos had the balls to do that"

"We didn't mean to," I said. She turned towards me. "Max is…Max. He accidentally did it"

She backed down from my brother and walked up to me. "Sure, blame the younger brother" She then banged her shoulder with mine and walked down the hall. Why did she come here?

"Stevie's alive?" Elena asked. We were all sitting in History waiting for class to start. I sat at my desk, Stefan sat to the right of me, Bonnie sat in front of him and Elena sat in front of me. "How is that possible?" Elena continued.

"Could she be a vampire?" Stefan asked.

"No," I said. "If she was, I would have known about…your…kind long before I came here to Mystic Falls"

"Maybe a witch?" Bonnie asked.

"Possibly but…would that work? Since Stevie's a wizard?"

Bonnie was about to answer but then Alaric started talking to the class. "Ok everybody," he called out. "Take your seats today, were going over World War One. Everybody open up your textbooks to 317 and we'll start from there-"

Two big knocks interrupted Alaric. Everybody in the class room lifted up their heads to see who was at the door. My mouth dropped open. It was Stevie. She leaned against the door with a smile spread across her face and her arms crossed over her chest.

"May I help you?" Alaric asked her.

"Hey, is this," she looked down at the piece of paper in her hand. "History 30s-1?"

"Uh…yes"

"Perfect," she pushed off the door and walked up to Alaric. "I'm Stevie. The new kid"

"Uh…I didn't know we were having a new student"

"Oh they probity just," she looked over at me and smiled. "Forgot" I glared at her. She turned her head back to Alaric.

"Well, welcome…Stevie," he grabbed a textbook from his desk and passed it to her. "Take a textbook and have a seat," he looked out into the classroom for a spot and of coarse, the only open seat was the desk on my left. "By Alex right there"

"Perfect, " Stevie took the textbook from Alaric and made her way down the aisle and plotted her and her stuff in the desk beside me. "Looks like we're going to be seeing a lot of each other, huh Russo"

"I can't believe she's in our History class" Bonnie said as Elena, her and I were walking to the cafeteria.

"It's not just that," I said. "She's in all my morning classes. I wouldn't be surprised if she was in all my afternoon ones too"

"We should do some investigation," Elena said. "Find out how she might have came back"

"No, lets not"

"Why not? I can tell that this is bothering you"

"Yeah it's bothering me but I've already gotten way too much on my plate right now. Klaus, Isabella, Elijah, all these curses…I can't add another"

"But what if she tries to hurt you?" Bonnie asked.

"Bonnie," I said. "If I defeated her once, I think I can do it again"

"Ok…well," Elena looked at the cafeteria doors down the hallway. "If ignoring it is what you want…then that's what we'll do. Where's Stefan?"

"I left him at his locker. He said he'll meet us there"

Elena nodded and we continued to the cafeteria. We kept walking down the hall way to the cafeteria. "So, did you finish that history paper yet?" Elena asked me as we continued down the hallway.

"No," I said. "Alaric is giving me a little bit more time because-"

All of a sudden, somebody nudged my shoulder really hard and it knocked my purse on the floor and everything inside of it was scatted all over the floor. I looked at the person behind me and saw it was Stevie.

She gave me a smirk. "Maybe you should watch we're your going, Russo," she said. "We already know what kind of a backstabber you are"

I stood up straight and glared. "I already told you," I said. "We didn't mean to do that to you"

"Pft, whatever" she turned around and started walking away.

"Hey!" I called out. "I'm not finished with you!"

"Alex" Elena grabbed my arm. I turned to her and looked at her straight in the eye. "Don't" she said.

"No, I'm not going to be called a liar" I pushed her hand off and walked up to Stevie, grabbed her shoulder and spun her around. "I told you what happened. We don't mean to 'hurt' you. It was an accident"

Stevie laughed. "Is that what it is always? An accident? You Russos always get away with it. Is that what it was when Harper died or what it an accident when she stepped into Mystic Falls in the first place?"

That was it. I immediately jumped Stevie and started pulling her hair and punching her face. Stevie was doing the same except she was pushing me against the lockers.

"Alex!" I heard Elena scream but I ignored her and kept punching Stevie.

We kept punching and punching until we were pushed apart. "Hey! Hey!" Alaric screamed as she stood between us. "What's the matter with you two?"

"Alex" Stefan came running threw the crowed and started pushing me back towards Elena and Bonnie.

"That's right Russo," Stevie said. Stefan stopped and looked at her. "Get your boyfriend to save you. Isn't that how Mason got hurt trying to save your sorry ass

" I went to go after her but Stefan grabbed me and started pulling me away. "You better hide, Stevie!" I screamed. "I will find you!"

"Ooo," she said with a smile. "I'm so scared" She then disappeared into the crowd and Stefan pulled me towards the cafeteria.

Aunt Jenna, Elena, Justin, Jeremy and I were sitting at the dinner table eating the homemade spaghetti Aunt Jenna made. "So," Aunt Jenna said to break the silence. "Alaric told me what happened today," she said looking at me. I placed my fork done onto the plate. "Do you want to talk about it?"

"There's nothing to tell" I said.

"Alex, Justin already told me"

I looked at Justin, who was sitting right across from me. "What did he tell you?" I asked her, still glaring at Justin. "He said you and Stevie use to be good friends but then you guys got into a big fight and haven't seen each other since," I took my eyes off Justin and looked back at Aunt Jenna. "Are you ok? Do you…want me to phone the principal?"

"No," I said. "I'm not a little kid. I can handle my own battles"

"Alex," Elena said. "We're just looking out for you"

"Like I told you before, stop worrying about me" I pushed back from my chair and started walking out the back door.

"Where are you going?" Aunt Jenna asked. "You didn't finish your supper"

"I'm not hungry" I answered as I slammed the door behind me.

I walked out the back to the bushes until I couldn't be seen. I flashed my black leather onto myself and then flashed myself to the old church where, underneath, was the tomb where Katherine was still at.

I examined the area to see if anyone was here until I heard, "You showed up," I flipped around and saw Stevie stepping down from some old rubble. "Didn't think you would"

"Well, we made a deal. I don't back down form my deal"

"What about the last one?"

"Starting now"

A smirk appeared on Stevie's face. "Nice job today. I thought it was just going to be a little cat fight but no. A full on fist fight. Didn't think you had it in ya"

"Well…I'm good at surprising people"

"I bet you are. Now," she said as she clapped her hands together "That your little…'gang' thinks we hate each others guts, its time for the fun part"

"Which is?" Stevie smiled as she raised her hands and snapped both of them, creating a spark. We appeared right in front of what looked like a busy street but there was people…no not people…wizards that surrounded us going left, right, up, down. What was she doing bringing me here? What did this have to do with Klaus?

"What are we doing here?" I asked her threw the loud noises.

"The first part of our plan!"

"Which is?"

"Find the most powerful wizard to take magic from!"

"We're taking magic from someone? We can't do that!"

"Do you want to kill Klaus or not?" I didn't answer. "That's what I thought! Come with me and don't drift off!"

Stevie then started pushing threw the crowds and I followed her. I followed her until we reached a long and narrow hallway. I recognized the hallway.

"Isn't," I said. "The hallway where-"

"Warren worked," Stevie said. "Yeah"

"Is this where he died?"

Stevie looked at me for a second before looking back down at the hallway. "Come on. I want to make this fast so we can get the hell out of here" She continued down the hallway until she stopped in front of a door that read,

Wizards of the World Center

"What is this place?" I asked her as I walked up to it.

"This place has every wizard int he world on record and it is here we're going to find our wizard. Com on, we don't have much time" With that, she opened the door and continued inside the room. I we got inside, we saw form top to bottom, there were thousands and thousands of filing cabinets.

"How are we going to find our wizard?" I asked.

"Oh, I already know which wizard we're taking" She said as she rubbed her palms together.

"Who?"

"Crumbs"

"Professor Crumbs? Why? What did he ever do to you?"

"Nothing...but, he is an 800 year old wizards with the strongest powers in the word. You would be a fool not to take his powers"

"Why don't we just ask him for help?"

"Because he won't help us," She said, glaring at me. "For centuries he's know about your curse and he doesn't want anything to do about it"

"But...I thought-"

"That he cared about you? Don't be stupid. Crumbs doesn't care about anybody but himself. You're just going to have to get use to it," Stevie turned and started walking up and down the aisle until she came up to a filing cabinet that had a big 'C' on the top and oped the first cabinet. She then started looking threw the folders. "Crumbs. Crumbs. Crumbs. Crumbs. Crumbs!" She pulled out a folder that said 'Crumbs' on the front and started looking threw it.

"What does it say?" I asked as I walked up to look at the papers inside. Stevie took the papers and hugged them close to her chest.

"None of your business" She said.

"If we're going to do this together 'partner', I'm going to have to know what we're doing"

"You'll find out...soon enough" She smiled at me before going back to the papers. When she was done, she placed them back into the cabinet and closed it up.

"Now what?" I asked with my arms crossed over my shoulder and leaned on my left leg. Stevie gave me a smirk before walking away from the cabinet and walked up to me.

"We're done," she said. "For now" she turned around and walked back towards the cabinet.

"Excuse me?" I asked.

"You just live your normal life until I need your help again" she said with her back still turned back to me.

"When are you planning on taking Crumb's power?"

"2104 Maple Street!" She turned around as she pointed her wand at me and said the spell. I appeared on the porch of the house and stood there in disbelief. 'Until I need your help again.' What was she waiting for? I shook my head and made my way inside.
