P.S. I do not own Vampire Diaries or Wizards of Waverly Place

Chapter 5

Thanks to a couple of people I passed by on my walk, I figured out where Stefan lived. They all said that he would probity live in the Salvatore Boarding House just near Wickery Bridge. I followed their directions and it took me to this huge, brown house.

I walked up to the door and saw this rope hanging beside the main door.

'Weird looking door bell' I thought.

I grabbed the rope and pulled it. When I pulled it, a jingle came from the rope. I then grabbed the handle that was on the door and knocked on it three times.

When I knocked the third time, the door opened. I popped my head threw the door.

"Stefan!" I called out.

I then walked threw the door and walked down the hall.

"Stefan!" I called out again.

I looked around the house. This wasn't an ordinary house. It looked so old inside with all the old paintings and lanterns.

Then the door behind me creaked open. I stopped and looked around I then took a step towards the door.

"Hello?" I said quietly.

I then walked towards the door some more until a big crow flew threw the door and made my heart jump. I turned around quickly but I was then stopped when I found myself standing in front of something…or someone.

It was a man maybe in his twenties.

He had these gorgeous blue eyes and dark brown hair that only went below his earlobes. He was pale but had a great looking body. He was wearing a black shirt with black pants and these back boots. I looked at him in his eyes while he tilted his head studying me. Probity wondering who the hell I was.

"I'm sorry," I started saying.

"For just walking in like this. The door was open and this"

I then thought of the crow. I looked around at the door but it was closed.

'Weird' I thought. I then looked back at the man.

"Or not" I said.

"You must be Alex" he said.

"Uh…how do you know my name?"

"I'm Damon, Stefan's brother"

I then gave him a weird look.

"St-Stefan's brother? He told me he didn't have one"

"Well, Stefan's not the one to brag. Please, come. I'm sure Stefan will be along any second" He said as he took me to the next room.

I walked down the steps and looked all around the room.

"Wow, this is your room it reminds me so much of my…"

I then stopped. I was about to say it reminded me of the layer back home but that would be pretty stupid considering that I just met the guy.

"A…never mind I just love the…style you guys have going on here. So, this is your living room?"

"Living room, parlor, Sotheby's auction. It's a little kitschy for my taste. I see why my brother's so smitten,"

I then gave him a funny look.

"For a while there, I never thought he'd get over the last one. Nearly destroyed him"

"The…the last one?"

"Yeah. Katherine, is girlfriend"

I then shook my head.

"Oh, you two haven't had the awkward exes conversation yet"

"Nope"

"Oops. Well, I'm sure it'll come up now. Or maybe he didn't want to tell you because he didn't want you to think he was on the rebound. We all know how those relationships end"

"Ah...yeah I guess but you make it sound like every relationship is doomed to end"

"I'm a fatalist," he said while smiling at me. I smiled back.

"Hello Stefan"

I then stopped smiling and turned around. There, I saw Stefan standing at the top of the steps with his hands behind his back.

"Alex, I didn't know you were coming over"

"I'm…I'm sorry I should have called, I just needed…"

I was then interrupted by Damon.

"Oh, don't be silly. You're welcome any time. Isn't she, Stefan?"He said while looking at Stefan.

All Stefan did was glare at Damon. He didn't even look away once. His eyes were just glued to Damon. Full of hatred. Damon then looked back at me.

"You know, I should break out the family photo albums or some home movies. But…I have to warn you. He wasn't always such a looker"

I let out a little giggle.

"Thank you for stopping by, Alex. Nice to see you" Stefan said.

I then looked back at Stefan.

"Uh…yeah I should go. Justin is waiting for me back at home,"

I then looked at Damon and smiled.

"It was nice meeting you, Damon"

"Great meeting you to, Alex"

He then took my right hand and kissed it then gave a smile. I gave a small smile back. He then put it down and let it go. I then walked up to the stairs and took a step up and stood in front of Stefan.

"Stefan?"

He didn't say anything or move. He was still glaring at Damon. I gave him a funny look.

"Stefan?"

He then took a step to the side and gave me room to walk. I shook my head and walked out the door. As I closed the door, I heard a whistle from inside. I thought about it for a minute when I stood in front of the door but I shook my head and forgot about it and walked home.

When I got home, I looked at the key jar beside me and saw Elena's keys in the jar and walked to the kitchen and saw Elena sitting at the dining room table, reading.

"Hey," she said. "Everything ok?"

"Uh, yeah…um…do you know where Justin is?"

"Yeah, he's downstairs in him room"

"Thanks" I said as I opened the door and walked downstairs.

I walked up to his room and opened the door and saw that he was no where to be found. I then walked to our 'layer' and opened to door but found out it was locked.

"Justin!" I said as I knocked on the door.

"Who is…?"

I then interrupted him.

"Justin open the door!"

The door then unlocked and I turned the handle and walked threw. I saw Justin sitting by the table with his wand in his hand. He then set his wand aside.

"Wow, aren't you grumpy" he said.

"I'm sorry I…I just came back from Stefan's"

"You wanna talk about it?"

"No" I said as I stood a seat on the chair next to me. Justin smiled and then went back to work on something in front of him.

"Ok yes I want to talk!" I said as Justin jumped up and set the tools on the table.

"I get there and find out, he has a brother. He told me he didn't have one"

"Ok,"

"And his brother said he was surprised he moved on so fast after what happened to Katherine"

"Ok"

"And then Stefan comes in and says 'it's so nice to see you' while the whole entire time, he was giving his brother death glares and he didn't even look at me when I walked out the door. He was still glaring at Damon"

"Damon?"

"His brother"

"Oh. Why do you even care if he glares at him? We glare at each other a lot"

"Yeah but not like that and…Katherine he hasn't gotten over her?"

"So, what are you two dating?"

"No! Were just…friends"

"So, why do you care so much? You haven't gotten over Mason"

I was about to scream at him when I thought about it.

'He's right' I thought.

I've haven't gotten over Mason so Stefan and I are in the same boat. There was no point of me getting worked up.

"You're right, sorry"

"No problem. Now! Let's start working on fighting Vampires"

"Fine. You think we should talk to dad about this?"

"No, he'll think it's too dangerous and make up come home and…stay with Aunt Rosa in Tennessee and make us scrub her feet"

We both let out as we shivered at the thought.

"Ok, what's the spell?"

"Ok the book said that the best spell to use is the 'Sun in Night' spell"

"How does it work?"

"Well, if you were walking around at night and you encountered a Vampire you would take out your wand and say 'Please help me now, danger is near, so bring out the sun and scare away all fear'. A glow will come out of your wand. That's sunlight. It will burn the creature and he'll turn to ash"

"Really?"

"Yeah"

"Why don't we just go all Buffy on them and stake them, that's no different"

"Well, if you don't have a stake, you can just use your wand"

"Yeah but the spell takes longer to say then to stake them like that"

"Alex! Just try it!"

"Fine!"

I then took out my wand.

"Please help me now, danger is near, so bring out the sun and scare away all fear!"

A glow of light then came out of my wand. I smiled.

"Cool" I said.

I the started moving my wand around and noticed where ever I move the want the light goes with it.

"Hey look what I can do!"

I then pointed the wand to my brother.

"Alex! Don't!"

Then a boom came from my brother's direction and I stopped the spell. I put the wand in my bag and ran over to Justin.

"Justin! Are you ok?"

I looked at Justin who was all black and a little flame came from the top of his head. I busted out laughing.

"It's not funny!"

"Yes it is!" I said as I let out another laugh.

Justin then grabbed his wand and twirled it at himself. He then looked all clean and normal but I noticed his eye brows were gone. I pointed at his head and laughed again. Justin touched his forehead and then noticed. He pointed the want at his forehead.

"Eye brows, eye brows. Come back, eye brows"

Then his eye brows appeared where they should have been. He put his wand back in his pocket.

"Alex, you have to be careful with that spell. It can kill anything and anyone. Including people"

"Alright, I got it!"

"Good"

"Is everything ok down there?"

We heard someone shout out. It was Elena.

"Uh yeah!" I said. "I was just making…popcorn"

Justin gave me a funny look.

"Uh…ok, just checking!"

I then picked up my bag.

"Listen, I have to go. The comet is tonight and I told the others I would go"

"Ah, ok sure. There are a whole bunch of other spells we can use so we'll have to go over them later"

"Sure. See you later"

"Bye" He said as I walked out the door.

I walked up stairs and went to my room and changed for tonight. I went to my dresser and just picked out random clothes.

I found my baby blue 'Justin Beaver' shirt with a cute little beaver on it. I don't like him! As a matter of fact, I HATE him! I only laughed at the shirt when I saw it at the mall and decided to buy it. I then put on my light blue jeans and put on my key ring and my charm bracelet that had hearts, wings and of course, peace signs. I went to my closet and decided to wear my fleece quited hooded jacket but I didn't zip it up because I wanted to show my shirt.

I was about to leave my room when I heard yelling coming from downstairs.

"Oh, no, no, no!" It sounded like Aunt Jenna.

"Ow! Why? Why…why did you do that?"

'That sounded like Jeremy' I thought.

"Listen up! Quit ditching class or you're grounded. No discussion"

"Parental authority, I like it. Sleep tight"

I then heard foot steps walking up the stairs. I then walked out of my room and walked to the stairs and ran into Jeremy.

"Oh, sorry" I said.

Jeremy didn't say anything and walked passed me.

"Did I do something to you?"

"What are you talking about?" He said back.

"You haven't said a word to me since I got here and you look at me like I'm sort of bug you want to squish!"

"Pft, whatever" He then walked up to his room and closed the door.

I rolled my eyes and made my way downstairs. At the bottom of the stairs, I ran into Aunt Jenna.

"I'm sorry Aunt Jenna"

"Don't be, he deserves it" I nodded.

"So, where are you going?"

"I'm meet Bonnie at the Grill for the comet, party, thing"

"Oh, ok. If you want you can take my car"

"Are you going to 'Then Night of the Comet' party?" Elena said as she walked up to us.

"Yup" I said back.

"Great, I'm going too. I'll drive" She said as she grabbed her keys and walked out the door.

"See you later Aunt Jenna" I said as I walked down the stairs out the door. I then hopped into the car and Elena and I drove out of the drive way.

When Elena and I pulled up the Grill, we immediately got out and walked inside. There, we found Bonnie sitting down with a whole bunch of flyers on the table.

"Hey Bonnie" Elena said as we walked up to the table.

"Hey" Bonnie said back.

"So, what are these?" I asked.

"Flyers for the comet and you two are going to help me"

"Fine" Bonnie smiles and handed some to me and then to Elena.

She then stood up and walked out of the Grill. Elena and I followed. We walked across the street to the park and started handing some flyers out.

"Tonight, night of the comet!" Bonnie said as she passed a flyer to someone.

"Would you like a program?" I asked as I handed one to someone.

Bonnie then looked at me and gave me a weird look.

"He didn't call, did he?" I shook my head.

"Nope. He didn't even text but then again, we never exchanged phone numbers or anything. We haven't gotten to the texting part"

"That's an important milestone in any relationship"

"It is? Whatever, the timing is wrong, anyway"

"When is it ever?"

"Ah, I'm going to go find Caroline," Elena said as she interrupted us. "I'll find you guys later"

"Ok, see you later" Bonnie said as Elena walked away.

"Bonnie, it's ok. I'm not ready yet"

"What do you mean?"

"I just…"

I was afraid to tell her. About Mason. I did feel comfortable around Bonnie. I trusted her more then Caroline anyway. I was just going to go out and say it.

"I've just recently broken up with my boyfriend back in New York and I don't know if I'm ever going to get over him"

Bonnie stopped and looked at me.

"How long has it been?"

"Well, we broke up in May so, four months"

"Do you think about him a lot?"

"Some times but I've been telling myself to move on. He would of wanted me to be happy with someone else"

"Well, if he wanted you to be happy, I think it's time"

I smiled.

"Look, I'm not pressuring you into anything but I want you to be happy. I'm starting to like you. Kind of like I am with Elena. Sisters"

I smiled and hugged Bonnie.

"Thanks Bon"

"You're welcome Alex"

Bonnie and I then kept handing out flyers.

Bonnie and I spent at least an hour handing out flyers to the whole town.

When it was completely dark, Bonnie and I stopped and then went looking for Elena. When we found her, we made our way to the park. We walked passed the crowd of people and found Caroline with four candles in her hand.

"Hey," Caroline said as she walked up to us. "I got some candles"

"Thanks" We all said at the same time. We then grabbed one from Caroline. I saw Elena walk in one direction and I followed her. Bonnie and Caroline went somewhere else.

"Hey" Elena said as she walked up to Matt.

"Hey" Matt said back.

"Hi Matt" I said.

"Hey"

"So, how's Vicky?"

"She's great. She's actually got out today. I think she's at the Grill or something"

I nodded.

Matt then lit Elena's candle with his lit candle.

"Thank you" Elena said back to Matt as she gave him a smile.

"Your welcome" Matt gave her a small smile back.

Elena then turned to me and lit my candle.

When Elena was done, she then looked back at Matt. They just…stared at each other. It felt kind of award. I then slowly backed away and walked away from them. I wasn't looking where I was going until some said,

"Thank you"

I looked down at my candle and saw that it was lighting another candle. I looked up and saw it was Stefan.

"Hi" he said back.

"Hi" I said as I was staring at him.

I then looked behind me and saw Elena look at me. She looked a little upset. She then looked down and faced Matt, turning her back against me. I shook my head and started to walk away. I walked up to the tree that wasn't far from me and leaned against it and looked up at the comet that was soaring by.

"You know, that comet... it's been traveling across space for thousands of years. All alone" I heard Stefan's voice from behind me.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yes"

"I guess that comet and I have something in common"

There was no response.

"Well, Bonnie says it's a harbinger of evil" I said.

"I think it's just a ball of... snow and ice, trapped on a path that it can't escape. And once every 145 years, it gets to come home"

Then there was another pause

"I'm sorry about earlier today. I wasn't myself"

I made a small laugh.

"You seem to spend a lot of time apologizing"

I then saw Stefan stand beside me. I didn't look at him though.

"Well, I have a lot to apologize for. Earlier today…that wasn't about you, ok?"

I then looked at him. In his eyes.

"How come you didn't tell me you had a brother?"

"We're not close. It's, uh…it's complicated"

I then look back at the comet.

"It's always"

I then looked down at my candle. I was afraid to say the next words to him. Afraid that I would hurt him. I knew that if he knew about Mason and asked I would be hurt with the subject but…maybe it was good to ask. Get to know Stefan more. Besides, who doesn't tell someone they have siblings.

"Damon…told me about your ex, Katherine"

I gave him a small look. He looked…worried is what I guess you would call it. I then looked back down at my candle.

"What did he say?"

"She…she broke your heart"

"That was a long time ago"

I looked back up at the comet.

"When you lose someone, it stays with you, always reminding you of how easy it is to get hurt"

I then started to think of Mason and my eyes were filling up with tears. I tried wiping it away. I guess Stefan could see the tears and he took a step and stood in front of me and looked at me. I didn't want to look at him in the face so I kept staring at the comet.

"Alex…"

I then looked at Stefan in the eyes.

"It's ok, Stefan. I get it. You have no idea how much I get it. Complicated brother? Check. Complicated ex? Check. Too complicated to even contemplate dating, double check. It's ok. We met, and we talked, and it was epic, but... then the sun came up and reality set in"

We only stared at each other. I tried wiping more tears from my face.

"So..."

I then blew my candle out and walked away. I started walking toward the Grill when my cell phone rang. I answered it.

"Hello" I said.

"Hey Alex" someone said.

"Who is this?"

"Uh…Alex. It's me. Harper"

"Oh my gosh. Harper. I'm so sorry I've just…just been having kind of a hard time here"

"You wanna talk about it?"

"No. Not right now"

"Ok, so…how's school over their in Mystic Falls?"

"Ok, I guess. The History teacher, Mr. Tanner is kind of mean but other then that, it's ok"

"Make any new friends?"

"Yeah but their my cousin, Elena's friend. Bonnie and Caroline. I also met a guy"

"Oh, who is he?" "His name is Stefan. He's…not my boyfriend Harper. I'm not ready"

"When will you?"

"I…I don't know"

"Alex, I don't mean to be mean but Mason would want you to move on"

I nodded.

"Your right"

"Hey, Alex I have to go. Zeke is taking me out to a movie"

"Ok, have fun"

"Thanks I will"

"Call me anytime Harper. It's always nice to hear from you"

"You too. Bye"

"Bye"

I then hanged up the phone and walked to the Grill.

When I got to the Grill, I saw Tyler, Jeremy, Matt, Bonnie, Caroline and Elena surrounded by a small table. I could hear some screaming coming from it.

"And I didn't even have to force her into it!"

It sounded like Jeremy

"What the hell is he talking about Ty?"

That sounded like Matt. I then walked over to the table.

"Nothing man, just ignore him, he's a punk" Tyler said.

"What's going on?" I asked.

Bonnie looked at my and said quietly.

"We don't know where Vicky, Matt's sister, is"

I nodded.

"You know what, how about all of you shut up and help me find my sister?" Matt said.

"We'll check the back" Bonnie said as she grabbed my arm and took me to the back.

"I'll check the square" Matt said.

"I'll come with you" Jeremy said.

"Oh, no, no, no. You are coming with me," I heard Elena said as she dragged Jeremy to the wall.

Bonnie and I went outside and looked all over for Vicky. We were out for an hour when Matt called Bonnie and told her that Stefan found Vicky wondering around. Elena said she was getting a ride home with Caroline so she gave me the keys to take home. I offered to take Bonnie home. She smiled but said she was just gonna hand at the Grill with Caroline too. I said good bye to her and drove back home.

I put the keys away and went upstairs and was about to entre my room when I heard some funny sounds coming from Jeremy's room.

"Jeremy?" I said as I entered his room.

"No, it's me," Aunt Jenna said as she lifted her head. "The hypocrite patrol"

"What are you doing?"

"I've become my worst nightmare. The authority figure who has to violate a 15-year-old's privacy!"

She then ran to the other side of the room and found a pot bong in Jeremy's boot.

"Jackpot. I see the hiding places haven't gotten any more creative" She said as she chucked the boot that was in her hand into the bathroom.

"What brought this on?"

"Your ass-hat of a history teacher shamed me good this morning"

"You talked to Tanner. Nice"

"'Discover the impossible, Ms. Summers.' Got it. Thanks. Like I didn't know I was screwing up"

"You're not screwing up, Aunt Jenna. I said as I sat on Jeremy's chair.

"Yes, I am. You know why? Because I'm not her. She made everything look so easy. You know, high school, marriage, having Elena and Jeremy. I can't do it. I'm gonna say or do the wrong thing, and he's gonna get worse, and it's gonna be my fault"

She then sat on Jeremy's bed.

"It's impossible"

"This is just the fear talking. You're a little scared, that's all. We all are,"

It then came to me. I was just scared to move on. I keep on thinking I will just hurt myself again if I fall in love again but…it wasn't true. I had to move on.

"I have to go do something,"

Aunt Jenna nodded.

"But are you going to be ok?"

Aunt Jenna smiled and nodded. I then stood up and walked out the door.

I drove to Stefan's house and walked up to the door and rang the door bell. Stefan answered it.

"Hi" he said.

"Hey" I said back.

"Would you like to come in?"

I smiled.

"The comet is actually this way"

I said as I pointed behind me. I then started walking backwards. I then turned around and leaned on the back landing and looked up at the night sky. I then heard Stefan walking up and stand beside me. I then turned and looked at him.

"I'm sorry for bugging you this late at night. I just…couldn't stop thinking about what happened earlier"

"No, no. I'm glad you're here. The way we left things... I didn't like it"

"See, the thing is that…I was going to go home and do what I always have done since…since my break up with my ex. I was going to go upstairs and go on my computer and e-mail my friend, Harper and tell her everything that has happed but, when I thought about it, I realized that I'd just be writing things that I should probably be telling you"

"What would you tell her?"

I smiled.

"I would write... 'Dear Haper , today you changed me. You told me that it's ok to…move on. For months now I've been afraid of doing that. I was afraid of getting hurt again. When I moved, I told myself that things need to get better and that it's not the time to move on. No drama, No…nothing, now is just not the time. But my reasons aren't reasons, they're excuses. All I'm doing is hiding from the truth, and the truth is that...' I'm scared, Stefan. I'm scared that if I let myself be happy for even one moment that... the world's just going to stab me in the back again and…I don't want to get hurt again"

"Do you want to know what I would write?"

I nodded.

"'I met a girl. We talked. It was epic. But then the sun came up and reality set in. Well, this is reality. Right here' "

Stefan then leaned in. I was scared but I said 'I have to move on' and that was what I was exactly going to do. I then leaned in and kissed him. He kissed me back. We then broke apart and looked at each other. I smiled and kissed him again.
