Sorry for the long wait. With the school year coming to an end, there is a lot of work to be done.
Chapter 13
Elena and I got out of her car the next morning and started walking towards the school. I fixed up my clothes as I got out of the car. The weather man said it was suppose to be warm so I wore a floral tank top, dark blue short jeans, black sandals, my floral canvas & cross purse, light pink rose earrings, my leaf ring, faith and trust gold ring and my charm necklace. We started walking towards the school when Caroline walked right up to use.
"Hey, Elena," Caroline looked at me and glared at me. "Alex," She then dug out twenty cents out of her purse. "Here's twenty cents. Call all your friends and bring back some change, ok"
I looked at Caroline and laughed. "You know, Caroline, I don't know what makes you so stupid, but it really works!" I smiled. Caroline then gave me the ugliest glare. I looked at Elena whose jaw dropped down. "I'll see you later" I said as I walked towards the school.
I went to my locker to get my books. As I was walking to history, I was Justin walking down the hall. I ran up to him. "Hey" I said and I walked with him.
"Hey" he said back.
"Where have you been the pass couple of days? I haven't seen you at all"
"I went home"
I stopped and turned to him. "You…You went home? Why? Oh…Oh no. You…You didn't…"
"No I didn't tell them about Stefan. I went to go hang out with Zeke"
"You just went home to see him? Why?"
"I miss home, Alex. They're so much stuff going on that…I just needed to go home"
The morning bell went off and I started making my way to History. I walked into class and saw Elena sitting at a table in the center so I sat beside her. Later, everyone was here and there was one empty seat beside me. Where was Stefan? Bonnie then came running in and she sat at the back. Elena and I looked over to her and I mouthed,
'Are you ok?'
Bonnie shrugged her shoulders and looked back at the front of the classroom. Elena and I did the same. At the front of the class room was some new guy. He must have been the new teacher. He wrote something on the chalkboard. He then backed away and looked at us.
"Alaric Saltzman" He said as he pointed to the name written on the chalkboard. "It's mouthful. I know. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. Saltzman is of German origins. My family immigrated here in 1755 to Texas. I, however, was born and raised in Boston. Now the name Alaric belongs to a very dead great-grand-father I will never be able to thank enough. You'll probably want to pronounce 'Al-a-ric' but it's 'Ala-ric', okay. So you can call me Ric. I'm your new history teacher" He said with a smile at the end.
When lunch came around, Bonnie, Elena and I went outside to eat lunch. When we sat down, I immediately started asking her what was going on with her. She then started telling us. She was telling us about her dream how she saw her ancestor, Emily, in her dream.
"And then I ended up at the remain of the Old Fell's Church before I woke up back in the woods"
"And your always see your ancestor Emily?" Elena asked.
Bonnie gave us a nod. "Do you guys believe in ghosts?" She asked us.
What was I suppose to say? Yeah I believe in ghost because I've seen them and talked to them.
"Two weeks ago I'd say no but now…" Elena started saying before Bonnie cut her off.
"I think I'm being haunted"
"I don't get it," I said. "Why would she be haunting you?"
"Grams said she was a powerful witch back in the civil war days and this medallion was hers, a witch's talisman"
"And all started when you got the necklace?" Elena asked.
"I think she's using it to communicate with me"
"Ok. What does Grams say about it?" I asked.
"I can't call her. She's going to tell me to embrace it. I don't want to embrace it. I want it to stop" She then looked at her phone
"I got to go guys," She said. "See you later"
Both Elena and I gave her a nod. She got up and walked away. Elena and I then stood up and started walking towards the school.
"Do you really think it could be Emily?" Elena asked me as we were walking.
I shrugged my shoulders. "I'm not sure" I said.
"Well, could you stop it Alex. You know with you wizard powers?"
"My magic doesn't work like that Elena. Plus, I don't know how I could do that"
"Oh, I see" We walked up to the door when Elena stopped and started at something behind me. I turned around and saw Stefan sitting there on the picnic table. "I'll leave you guys alone" Elena said.
I walked up to Stefan as he got off the table. "Hey, where were you? I was worried"
"I got your messages," He said. "And sorry I didn't get back to you, but...What I wanna say shouldn't be said over the phone"
"Well I really wanted to hear from you 'Hey, Alex, I didn't rip my brother into millions of pieces'" I said with a laugh.
Stefan didn't laugh or even smile. He just stared at me. "Well, I didn't kill my brother, as much as he…deserved it. He has to thank you for that"
I gave him a nod. "So…what did you come here for?"
"I needed to tell you something"
"And that is?"
"I won't be coming to school anymore," My mouth immediately dropped. "I'm going to back off and keep my distance. It's the right thing to do"
"Are you…staying away from me?"
Stefan paused for a few seconds. "It's better this way"
I felt a tear run down my eyes. "Fine. What ever. Just drop everything and leave" I said as I crossed my arms.
"You're angry .That's good. Be easier if you hate me"
"That fine, Stefan. Leave. Make me mad at you but just remember one thing. I'm the one with the magic wand and remember what I did to you the first time I found out what you are. Well, I've got a couple more tricks up my sleeve"
Stefan just started at me for the longest time. He then gave me a nod and walked away.
Bonnie, Elena and I were in Bonnie's car driving home. Bonnie was driving while I sat in the passenger seat and Elena sat in the back. Apparently, Damon came by the school today and kept on bugging Bonnie to give her amulet back to him. Scared the crap out of Bonnie.
"He's bad news, Alex. He really scared me"
"Bonnie," I said. "Listen to me and listen to me very good, ok. Stay away from him. Don't every talk to him and if you ever see him, walk away. If he bugs you again, come and find me. I'll take care of him"
"Thanks, Alex but…I doesn't matter where I go or what I do, he's always there"
"I don't want you to be alone," Elena said. "You're sleeping at our place tonight. We can make a whole night out of it"
Bonnie didn't say anything. She just kept staring at the amulet. She then pulled over on the side of the road in front of an open field.
"What are you doing?" Elena and I said at the same time.
Bonnie then got out of the care and started walking towards the field. She then ripped the necklace off and threw it into the field. She then walked back to the care and sat in the driver's seat.
"Are you ok?" Elena asked.
"Now I am. All my problems were because of that thing. Can't believe I didn't do that sooner"
"Yeah but isn't you Grams going to get really mad when she find out you threw your ancestor's amulet into the field?" I asked.
"Grams isn't the one being haunted by a hundred and fifty-years-old ghost, is she?"
"What ever you say"
We then continued down the road. As we continued down the road, I grabbed my phone out and looked threw the contacts list. I then clicked on Stefan and texted, 'I need 2 talk to u ASAP!'
We were all in the kitchen when the doorbell rang.
"I got it" I said. I walked up to the door and standing there was Stefan. "Thank god" I said and I shut the door behind me. "I'm so happy you came"
"What's going on?" He asked.
"Damon keeps on threatening Bonnie"
"What would Damon want with Bonnie?"
"He wants Bonnie's necklace. Caroline took it from Damon and she gave it to Bonnie and now he wants it back. He won't leave her alone"
"All of this is just because a necklace?"
"Well this necklace is very important to him. This necklace belonged to one of Bonnie's ancestors who lived here around the civil war," I stopped when I realized what I was saying and looked at Stefan. "Around when you and Damon were here…"
"Her name was Emily. She was Katherine's handmaid and a witch"
"So…you've known all this time. You knew Bonnie was a witch"
Stefan gave me a nod. "The first night that you invited me over for dinner, I made the connection"
"So…Damon knows…but I don't get how the necklace fits in with all of this"
"What does it look like?"
"It's...an antique iron setting with..."
"With an amber crystal. I know it. It belonged to Katherine. Emily gave it to her, which means that..."
"What?"
"I don't know, but I'm going to find it out. Let me talk to Damon"
"Are you sure he'll tell you?"
"I'll get it out of him" he said as he started walking down the stairs.
"Stefan!" I called out. He stopped and looked at me. "The same thing goes for him as it went for Vicki. If he tries to hurt Bonnie in anyway…I won't hesitate to use my wand…"
Stefan gave me a nod and started walking toward his car.
Unfortunately, Bonnie and Elena invited Caroline over. Caroline didn't talk to me which I didn't mind. Elena, Caroline and I were unpacking the paper bag full of food when Bonnie walked in. Elena gave Caroline the look.
"I'm sorry," Caroline said as she turned to Bonnie. "There. I said it. If you want the ugly-ass necklace, keep it. It's yours"
"Will you hate me if I tell you I threw it away?" Bonnie asked.
"You…Threw it away?"
"I know it sounds crazy but the necklace was giving me nightmares. I had to get rid of it"
"You could have just given it back to me"
"Why? So you could it give it back to Damon who, which I remind you, abused you. Remember all those bite marks on your back?" I said.
Caroline glared at me. "Screw Damon," She said. "Are we doing manicures or what? Who has their kit?"
"Mine's in my bag" Bonnie said.
"So, Alex, How long do you think this fight with Stefan's going to last?" She asked as she walked over to the table and started digging into Bonnie's bag.
I immediately looked at Elena and glared at her. "You told her?" I asked.
"She knew something was up," Elena said. "I had to tell her"
"Well?" Caroline asked. "Is it permanent or what?"
"I don't know Caroline and it's really none of your business"
Caroline turned her head and glared at me and then went back to digging into Bonnie's bag. "Why are you such a little liar, Bonnie?"
"What?" Bonnie and I said at the same time.
"Caroline!" Elena said.
Caroline then turned around and was holding the necklace in her hand. Bonnie, Elena and I all looked at each other and back at the necklace.
"Why would you lie to me Bonnie?" Caroline asked as she walked up to the table. "I thought we were friends?"
"I'm not lying to you, Caroline. I swear"
"It's true," Elena said. "I watched her throw it into the field"
"Same here" I said.
"Then explain it" Caroline said.
Bonnie then looked over to Elena and I "Emily?"
"Who's Emily?" Caroline asked immediately.
"The ghost"
"The ghost has a name now?"
"Caroline, shut up" I said as I glared at her and then brought my attention back to Bonnie.
"I wonder why she won't leave me alone" Bonnie said.
"What is going on?" Caroline asked. "Why am I not a part of this conversation? You guys do this to me all the time"
"That's not true" Elena said.
"Yes it is," Bonnie said as she turned her head towards Elena. She then looked back at Caroline. "I can't talk to you. You don't listen"
"That's not true" Caroline said.
"I'm a witch"
"And don't we all know it"
"Wow, that's a lot of words coming from the Queen of all Bitches" I said.
Caroline gave me the dirtiest glare. "Why don't you just stay out of this"
"Why don't you leave. This is my house"
"Guys!" Elena yelled. "Stop it! This is getting ridicules already!"
Caroline and I didn't say anything we just glared at each other.
"Don't worry Elena," Bonnie said. "This just proves that she never listen's to a word I say" Bonnie then walked out of the room.
Caroline then looked at Elena. "I listen. When do I not listen"
I rolled my eyes and brushed pass Caroline and went to go talk to Bonnie. Bonnie and I talked for a while until Caroline came into the room. I left to give them some time. Elena and I came back into the room later. Bonnie, Caroline and Elena were all sitting on the couch while I sat on the chair beside them. Elena then looked at Caroline and I.
"Ok, you two," She said. "You guys have to stop"
"Stop what?" Caroline asked.
"The fighting. Every since the day you guys met, all you've been at each others throats"
"She started it" I said.
"I don't care who started it! I'm ending it! Now…please…for me. For us. Can you guys just stop fighting and get along?"
Caroline and I looked at each other and took a deep breath. We both stood up from our spots. "I'm sorry," Caroline said. "I guess I just got a little…"
"Jealous" I said. "Yeah. About…Stefan and how you became such good friends with Bonnie and Elena and…"
I stopped her. "I get it. I'm sorry too" I lent out my hand for her to shake but she immediately grabbed me and hugged me. I didn't know what to do so I just started patting her back. Caroline the let go of me and turned back to Elena and Bonnie who were smiling at us.
"We'll," Caroline started saying. "There is just way too much drama in this room. So what do you guys want to do?"
Elena, Bonnie and I looked at each other and shrugged our shoulders.
"I have an idea!" Caroline blurted out. "Why don't we have a séance?"
"I don't think that's a good idea" Bonnie said.
"I agree with Bonnie" I said.
"Come on," Caroline said. "Let's summon some spirits. This Emily chick has some serious explaining to do"
"I don't think we should," I said. "We might upset her"
"Come on, Alex. It'll be fun and we can find out what Emily wants with Bonnie"
I let out a deep breath. "Alright" I said.
We all then walked upstairs to Elena's room. Elena and I found some candles and placed them on the floor. Bonnie, Elena, Caroline and I then sat around the candles and started holding each others hands. Bonnie was holding Elena's and Caroline's hand. Caroline was holding my hand and I was holding Elena's hand. We sat there for a couple of minutes in complete silence. Elena, Bonnie and I looked at each other.
"What are we doing?" Bonnie asked.
"I have no clue" I said.
"Be quiet and concentrate," Caroline said. "Close your eyes. Now take a deep breathe. Bonnie. Call her"
"Emily…you there?" Bonnie said.
We all gave her a funny look.
"Really? Emily you there? That's all you got? Come on"
"Fine. Jeeze" Bonnie took a deep breath. We all closed our eyes. "Emily I call on you. I know you have a message. I'm here to listen"
Seconds later, the flames from the candle raised up higher and we all back away.
"Did that just?" Elena and I asked at the same time.
"Yeah it just happened" Caroline said.
We then felt a chill in the air. "It's just the air conditioning" Bonnie said.
Then the flames rose up again.
I then started hearing weird sounds. They were whispers. "Do you guys hear that?" I asked. They all shook their head.
"Bonnie" the voice said again.
"There!" I said. "Did you guys hear that?"
"Hear what, Alex?" Caroline asked.
"That voice," I turned to Bonnie. "It just called your name"
"There was no voice, Alex" Bonnie said.
"Wizard" There it was again.
I looked around the room for the voice again. I then looked back at the candles. It was Emily. She knew what I was. I then concentrated on the candle.
"Emily," I said. "What do you want with Bonnie?"
There was a long pause.
"Maybe you were just imagining it" Elena said.
"The tomb" I heard the voice again.
"The tomb?" I whispered.
"Her" the voice said again.
"Whose her?" I asked out loud.
"The vampires" I looked straight at Elena with wide eyes. Elena gave me a shocking look.
"This is stupid," Caroline said. "Emily if you're among us, show us a sign"
There was a long pause.
"See," Bonnie said. "It's not working" All of a sudden. The windows flew right open. Bonnie immediately stood up. "I can't! I'm done!" Bonnie said as she ripped the amulet off her neck and threw it to the ground were it landed right next to the candles.
Then the candles blew out and it was pitch black. "Get the light! Please get the light on!"
"Hold on," Elena said. "I got it" I heard Elena say as I heard her feet scrabbled to the door. The lights went back on.
"You guys," Bonnie said "The necklace, its gone" I looked over to the candles and it was really gone. We all looked at each other not knowing what to say.
We started looking all over the room for it.
"Fun's over, Caroline," Elena said. "You made a point, and I get it. Now give it back"
"What? I didn't take it" Caroline said.
Elena then looked straight at the door. I turned and looked there as well. "What?" I asked. "Elena, what is it?"
"I don't know. Nothing. Jeremy are you home?" She said as she walked out the door to see if it was him.
"Guys…" we heard Bonnie say. We followed Bonnie who was walking to the bathroom. We followed her. There on the bathroom floor was the amulet. Bonnie walked in and picked it up.
All of a sudden, the door slammed on her. Bonnie then started screaming and crying.
"Bonnie!" Elena, Caroline and I screamed as we tried to open the door but it was locked.
"I'll check the hall way" Elena said.
"I'll come" I said as I ran behind her. Elena tried to open the door but it was locked. "Let me try" I said.
I grabbed my wand from my pocket. It then turned to it's normal size and I pointed my wand to the door. I then waved it around. When the spell hit the knob, I felt back ad sent my flying over the railing and landing on the stairs.
Elena ran over to me. "Alex!" she screamed. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah," I said as I started getting up slowly. "Just go help Bonnie"
Elena gave me a nod and tried to open the door again.
How come that happened? Why did my magic do that? What did Emily do?
I tried to run up the stairs but my back was sore from the fall. I followed Elena back to her bedroom were we tried to open the door again. Suddenly, the door unlocked and opened. There Bonnie stood with her hands over her eyes.
"What happened?" Elena asked. "Are you ok?"
Bonnie dropped her hand slowly, stood up straight and looked at us. "I'm fine"
"Unbelievable," Caroline said. "You were totally faking it"
"Caroline, come on" Elena said.
"No, you scared the hell out of me" Caroline then turned around and walked out of the room.
"Bonnie?" Elena asked.
"I'm fine," Bonnie said. Everything is fine"
I then walked into the bathroom and stood in front of Bonnie. "Bonnie? Tell us what happened" I asked.
Bonnie didn't say anything. She only glared at me. "It's none of your concern" She said in an angry tone.
"Bonnie? What's gotten into you" Bonnie then walked passed me.
"Bonnie! Wait" I said as I grabbed her hand. A great big shock ran threw me when I touched me. I let go of her immediately and my hand started to burn. Bonnie glared at me and turned around.
I looked in the mirror and saw my self and the other person wasn't Bonnie. My eyes opened in shock. There was a girl with her hair in a bonnet and in an old styled dress. As Bonnie walked out of the room, the girl did the same.
"I can't believe I feel for it" Caroline said.
"Are you ok?" Elena asked Bonnie.
"I must go" Bonnie said as she started walking down the stairs.
"She's leaving," Caroline said. "I'm leaving"
"You guys can't leave" Elena said.
"Oh, I can. I've had enough freaky fake witch stuff for one night"
"Thank you for having me," Bonnie said. We looked at her. "I'll take it from here?"
"Where are you going?" Elena asked.
"Back to where it all began" she said.
"Back to the tomb?" I asked her. Bonnie turned around and glared at me. "Where 'she' is? Who is 'she''? Emily?"
Bonnie or should I say Emily gave me the dirtiest glare. "I won't let him have it," she said. "It must be destroyed"
"Wait!" I called out as I ran after her down the stairs.
Bonnie ran out the door and it shut behind her all by itself. I went to open he door but it was locked.
"What's happening?" Caroline asked as ran down the stairs with Elena.
"I don't know," I said. "The door, it's not..." The door then opened and sent three loud screams coming from Elena, Caroline and I.
"What the hell?" I heard. I looked at the door and saw Jeremy standing there looking at us like we were stupid or something. He walked pass us and went into the kitchen.
"I'm outta here" Caroline said as she walked out the front door. I turned around and grabbed the phone.
"What are you doing?" Elena asked.
"Calling Stefan" I said as I dialed his number.
"What's wrong?" Stefan asked.
"It's Bonnie" I said.
"What happened?"
"Emily is possessing her body and said…"
"Alex, what did she say?"
"She walked out the door and said 'I won't let him have it. It must be destroyed' and then she just walked out the door and left"
"Where do you think she went?"
"I don't…the tomb"
"What?"
"Where 'she' is…at Fell's Church. By the old cemetery. That's were she took Bonnie in here dreams. I'm going to go find her Stefan"
"No, stay there. I'm going to go find her"
Stefan then hung up.
"What did he say?" Elena asked.
"I'm going to go find her" I said as I grabbed my coat and opened the front door.
"I'm coming with you"
"No, stay here Elena. It's too dangerous"
"Alex,"
"Stay here" I said as I grabbed the keys and ran out the door.
I parked in front of the church and ran to the cemetery. I was almost there when I heard foot steps behind me.
"Whose there?" I called out.
Elena popped from behind a tree.
"I thought I told you to stay" Justin then popped from the tree beside her. "What are you doing here?"
"Elena told me what happened and I'm here to help"
"Ok, let's go, we don't have much time" Justin and Elena gave me a nod as we ran up to the cemetery.
We saw a fire right ahead and headed straight towards it. We saw Bonnie standing in the middle of the fire and Damon and Stefan standing beside it.
"Bonnie!" both Elena and I called out. Stefan turned around and ran up to me and held me back. I pushed Stefan aside and grabbed my wand. I was about to cast a spell when Justin grabbed my wand.
"Alex, don't. Her power is too strong. She could kill you"
I looked at Justin then looked back at Bonnie. Bonnie then tossed something in the air.
"No!" Damon called out but then the objects exploded in the air. The fire then died down and then it was gone. Bonnie then turned around. She didn't know what was happening.
Then, Damon ran up to Bonnie and started biting her neck. Bonnie screamed in pain. I lifted my wand up and sent a spell flying towards Damon. Damon flew in the air and hit a tree.
Elena, Stefan, Justin and I ran up to Bonnie who only laid there. She didn't move. She had this huge bite mark on her neck. Stefan bent down immediately and put his head on her chest to check for a pulse.
"She's alive but barley. I can save her" Stefan then cut his wrist and put it to Bonnie's mouth.
I looked over to Damon and glared at him. He was looking at me. His eyes were still red and veiny. I glared at him. "See what you do!" I said. "You always cause a problem one way or another"
I then looked back at Bonnie.
"Her neck," Elena said. "It's healing" we all looked at each other in disbelief.
After Bonnie got up, Elena took her to my car since Justin and Elena got there by wand. Stefan went to go talk to Damon so it was just me and Justin standing there.
"You see what I mean, Alex," Justin said. "I didn't want to come to this. More problems in our life. More…supernatural things. I just wanted to live a normal life in New York" He then started walking to the car.
"Yes," I said. "But do you remember what you said to me that night when you lost Juliet and Mason?" Justin turned around and looked at me. "Justin…we're not normal people. It doesn't matter where we go…there will always be something…supernatural in our life"
Justin then turned around and started walking to the car and so did I. When I got there, Bonnie and Elena were standing there, talking. Elena put Bonnie inside the car and closed the door behind her. Elena turned around and looked at us.
"I'm going to tell her. She deserves to know"
"No your not," Elena gave me a small glare. "Because I'm going to tell her. I should tell her since I'm the person she should find out from"
Elena gave me a nod and looked at something behind me. I turned around and there stood Stefan. I turned back and looked at Elena and Justin.
"Can you give us a second?"
Elena and Justin gave me a nod and went into the car. I walked up to Stefan.
"I'm going tell her everything" I said to him.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"I can trust her. Besides, she deserves to know. I need to tell someone other then family…we…we already discuss this"
"I know. It shouldn't be a secreat to her anymore"
"Stefan, you saved her life. Stefan…I want to be with you. I know I kept on thinking that I couldn't be with you but the truth is I can. Don't push me way, please. I want to do this" I said as I grabbed his hands with a smile.
Stefan shook his head. "I can't" he said. "I…ah…I have to leave, Alex. Too many people have died. Too much has happened"
"What? No…No Stefan. You can't…You can't do this to me"
"I have to. Coming home was...it was a mistake. I can't be a part of your life anymore"
I then felt my eyes start to water. It was like Mason all over again. "Please Stefan," I said through the tears. "Please…Please don't do this. You belong here. In Mystic Falls, with everyone…with me. Please don't go"
Stefan grabbed my right hand and kissed it. "Good bye, Alex" he said as he let go of my hand and walked away.
I then started crying more and more. All that hurt. All that pain. It was all coming back. I started hugging my stomach as I sank to the ground to the knees and started crying.
