Chapter 14

"Alex," Elena said as she bent to the ground beside me. "Are you ok?"

I wiped the tear falling from my right eye. "No, I'm not"

"Do you want to talk about it?"

I stood up and started walking away. "No, I'm not"

"Alex, where are you going"

"Just stay away from me" I grabbed my wand out of my pocket and flashed out of there. I stood at the back door and opened it. I walked in and took off my shoes and then leaned against to door and closed my eyes. I just needed to think. I just needed a couple of seconds to think, quietly. It didn't last long.

"I'm not going to invite you in! Forget it!" I opened my eyes and saw Aunt Jenna's back. She was standing at the front door. Someone was there. I stood straight and started walking towards the door.

"Come on, Jenna. It's me!" I heard someone say.

"Hey, Aunt Jenna, what's going on?" I asked as I walked up to her.

Aunt Jenna turned her head and stood back. "This is the problem" she said.

My eyes opened wide. It was Logan Fell. Damon killed him when we went looking for Vicki. He was cold, stone, dead.

"Alex…right?" he asked. "Would you please tell your Aunt to let me inside" No…he wasn't…he couldn't…be…a vampire.

"Aunt Jenna please goes upstairs" I said.

"Alex, what's going on?" She asked.

"Go, now"

I heard Aunt Jenna's steps go up the stairs then the door shut.

"Get out" I said.

"Excuse me?" Logan asked.

"Get the hell off my front porch"

"Do you know what I am?"

I took out my wand and sent a flash at him that sent him flying off the porch and onto the grass. Walked out the front door and pointed my wand at him. "Yes, I do know what you are" I then sent another spell.

I learnt it the other day with Justin. It's an old witch spell. Witches used it a lot of vampires and the spell was surly to work for us. Logan started screaming in pain. He grabbed his head and started twisting and turning. I then stopped. Logan then got up and glared at me. In a flash, he ran towards me but I pointed my wand at him and he flew back and hit the grass. He then got up again.

"I know what you are," He said as he pointed at me. "A witch. Mystic Falls was very popular with them back in the 1800s"

"Keep guessing" I said. Logan stood there and thought but couldn't think of an answer. I rolled my eyes. I sent a spell at him and pinned him against a tree. I then walked up to him very slowly. "I am a wizard. A very powerful wizard. So, I know a spell to kill a vampire. So fast, you won't even see what's coming to ya. Stay away from my family! Or I'll track you down and kill you! You got it!"

Logan nodded his head very fast. I released the spell and ran inside. I then ran upstairs to my room.

"Alex!" I heard Aunt Jenna say as she walked out of her room. "What was that all about?"

"Nothing, Aunt Jenna, just do me a favor and don't ever have him over, ok"

"You got it"

"Good…well…good night"

"Good night"

I then walked into my room and went straight to bed.

The next morning I woke up and got ready for the day. I put on my grey octothorpe top, navy blue skinny jeans, a green jacket, my Mimi Loves Jimi Lailliow boots and I took my grey and white purse.

I walked downstairs into the kitchen and saw Aunt Jenna sitting there with a cup of coffee.

"Where is everyone?" I asked.

"Jeremy just walked out the door for school," she said. "And Justin and Elena stayed at Bonnie's last night"

"Oh…"

"Alex, is there something going on?"

"What do you mean"

"Well, I noticed Jeremy is acting strange. He's doing his homework; he's back to his sketch book drawings. Elena has been acting strange. Did you tell them what you and Justin are?"

"No, I didn't"

"Really?"

"Really" I had to lie. I mean, if I told her that Elena know about wizards, Jenna would have my head and send me straight home and mom and dad would kill me.

"What about you, Alex? You've been acting strange lately. I mean, last night, you acting strange when Logan was at the door and you were depress for the longest time. What's going on?"

"I just have been having some troubles"

"Boy troubles?" I gave her a nod. "What is it?"

"Stefan"

"Yeah, I know it's about Stefan. What happened between the two of you? You guys use to hang out with each other all the time and then after the Founder's Ball, you just stopped seeing each other"

"Stefan…just kept stuff away from me and when I found out about it…I was hurt"

"What was it?"

"I don't want to talk about it. Last night…I thought things were going great between us and I thought we could get back together but…he's leaving"

"Where is he going?"

"Not sure and I'm not going to ask anymore" I then checked the clock. It was 8:30. "I better go," I said. "I'm going to be late"

"Ok, see you after school" she said.

I gave her a nod and walked out the door.

I got to school and went straight to my locker. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Bonnie and Elena coming towards me. I closed my door and walked up to him.

"Hey, have fun at the sleepover?" I said.

"Hey," Elena said. "We stayed because it was getting late and there was a lot of explaining to do"

I looked at Bonnie and gave her a small smile. "I'm sorry Bonnie. I just couldn't tell you because…"

"I understand" "Bonnie said.

"You do?"

"Justin explained everything about the," she leaned in closer and whispered to me. "The Wizard Council" she then leaned back. "And how you can't tell any human about what you are or you can get in trouble"

I gave Bonnie and huge hug. "Thank you"

"No problem" she said. I then let go of her and we started walking to class.

Along the way, we saw Caroline and Matt talking to each other. They were getting really close.

"Did I miss something?" Elena asked.

"Yeah, no kidding" I said.

"They've been hanging out" Bonnie said.

"Kind of weird, don't you think?" Elena said.

"She needs someone nice like him. As opposed to a homicidal vampire like Damon"

"Hey, how are you doing with all this?" I asked.

"I'm freaked out," Bonnie said. "Damon attacked me and I couldn't be dead right now but I'm also grateful"

"Why?"

"To Stefan. He saved my life, and…" Bonnie looked at me and saw I was a little upset at what she was saying. "Have you seen him?"

"Not since last night. Whatever, he's probably long gone by now"

"He wouldn't leave without saying goodbye"

"Hell yeah, he would. He thinks this is a way to protect me but honestly, I'm been threw most dangers things then this"

"So what are you going to do?"

"What am I suppose to do, Bonnie. I asked him not to go but he won't listen. So, I'm not going to do anything. I'll just start all over again. Like this isn't the first time a boy has left me"

"Alex…maybe it's for the best"

"Oh, thanks for cheering me up"

"No, I'm serious. What kind of future could you have with him? Even if he stayed?" At that moment, a banner then fell in front of us that said 'The Promise of Your Future'

I glared at Bonnie. "You didn't just…"

"No, I swear"

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever, I have to get to class," I said. "See you guys later" I said as I walked down the hall.

The end of the day came faster then I thought. I had to get home, talk to Harper, have supper and then head back to the school with Elena for Career Night. Elena and I were walking to the parking lot when I saw Stefan standing right in front of us.

I looked at Elena. "Can you give us a minute?" I asked.

"Sure. Can I have the keys?" I took the keys from my purse and gave them to her. She then walked to the car and I looked at Stefan.

I crossed my arms and leaned on my right foot. "What are you doing here?" I asked in an angry tone.

"We need to talk" he said.

"About what?"

"There's a vampire running around town"

Logan. I wasn't going to tell him. I was going to prove to Stefan that I could take care of myself. I didn't need him protecting me. "Oh…do you have any idea of who it could be?"

"No,"

Perfect.

"but it must be somebody new because leaving a body like that is rather sloppy or trying to send a message"

"Maybe it's Damon"

"I'm never sure about Damon, but he's been trying to keep low profile so it's just doesn't make any sense to me"

"So…what are you going to do?"

"Damon is tracking them, right now. Look I promised you the truth so I wanted to tell you. I want you to be careful"

"I'm surprised you're telling me all of this. After last night. You told me you were leaving"

"Not yet"

After supper, Elena and I headed to the school for the Career Night. Elena found Matt and they started talking with each other. I left them alone and went to go check out the other booths.

I ran into Justin at the Military booth and nudge him in the shoulder. "Ow!" he said. He turned. He was man but when he relished it was me, he looked completely normal.

"So, have you changed your mind about becoming a scientist and decided to become a cadet?" I said.

"No, just looking"

"Hey, I need to talk to you about something"

"Sure, what?" I dragged him over in the corner where nobody would hear us. "What's up?"

"There's a new vampire in town"

"Are you serious?"

"No, I just said that to scare you. Of coarse I'm serious. The police found a body. Her throat was ripped out, drained of blood…it all fits"

"It can be anyone"

"Yes, but I know who it is"

"Really, who?"

"Logan Fell"

"It can't be. Aunt Jenna said he left for the Bahamas or what ever it was"

"Yes, but I think somebody said that to cover their tracks. So nobody would question where he was. He's a news reporter. Somebody would have noticed he was missing"

"What do you mean somebody covered their tracks?"

"That night, when Vicki was transitioning. Stefan and I went to go look for her and we found her in the graveyard. When we were going to take her back, Logan came out of no where and started shooting Stefan with wooden bullets. He's a Fell. One of the founding families. He knew about 'them'. Anyway, Damon came and killed Logan. Then Vicki drank his blood and that's how she became a vampire. Somebody must have given Logan their blood and now, Logan is running around town. He killed one woman and who knows who else he's killed"

Justin let out a deep breath and started rubbing his face and started digging his fingers in his hair. "I can't believe this" he said.

"Justin, it's ok, Stefan and Damon are looking for him but I'm going to be the one to get to him first"

"What do you mean?"

"Stefan doesn't know it's Logan"

"And why didn't you tell him this?"

"Because…I want to prove to him that I can handle this. I don't need some…guy to protect me all the time. I'm not fragile or anything"

Justin rolled his eyes. "Whatever. See you later" he turned around and walked away.

"Hey! Where are you going?"

Justin shook his head and kept walking down the hall.

I turned around but ran into Stefan. I stood there in shock when I looked at him in the face. "Did you just hear that?" I asked.

"All I heard was 'I'm not fragile or anything'" Stefan said.

I glared at him. "Well, it's true. I can take care my self. After all, I can take down your brother really easily. What are you doing here?" Stefan didn't say anything. I gave him a smile. "Are you here to look after me?"

There was a short pause. "I hope that's ok" I rolled my eyes and started walking away. Stefan caught up with me. "You know, I wanted to be a…doctor before it happened, but I couldn't because…"

"The blood?" I said.

"Yeah, I've dubbed a bunch of different things"

"Just couldn't stick to it?"

"No, I loved it all. It's just…I had to move on before anybody could notice that I wasn't getting any older"

"How long would that take?"

"A few years, usually. Sometimes shorter"

"And...you...would...just pack up and leave?"

"I had to. I had no choice"

Then the song speakers went on and it started playing music. They played Never Think by Robert Pattinson.

"Of coarse" I whispered to my self. Stefan smiled and gave a little laugh. "What are you laughing about?" I asked.

"It's kind of ironic. Isn't it" he said. I rolled my eyes. "So, what about you," he asked. "Any plans for your future?"

"No and why would you care? Because you obviously don't want to be in it"

"Alex, I didn't mean it like that"

"No, you did. If you want me so badly out of your life, then just leave. You'll save me the tears"

Stefan didn't say anything.

Elena came into the room and walked up to us. "Hey, guys" she said. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything?" She said.

"No, you weren't" I said.

Aunt Jenna then walked up to us and stood beside us. "Hide me" she said.

"What's going on?" Elena asked.

"The Scum-Fell has landed" she said.

"Logan's here?" Elena asked.

Stefan's and my eyes opened in shock. "Wait, you know about Logan?" I asked Elena.

"Yeah, Jenna told me he came to the door last night" she said.

"Yeah, Alex," Jenna said. "I can't believe you didn't tell her about what happened last night"

I looked at Stefan and he glared at me. Stefan turned to Jenna. "Logan Fell?" Stefan asked Jenna.

Jenna gave him a nod.

Stefan walked out of the room and I followed. We looked around and saw Logan standing there with a bunch of girls. When he caught sight of us, he gave us a smile and a wave.

Stefan turned around and looked at me. "I can't believe you didn't tell me" he said.

"I'm sorry, Stefan. I just wanted to prove…"

I was cut off when Elena walked in with Jenna. "Stefan, Alex, what's going on?" she asked.

I was about to explain when Logan walked up to us. "Jenna," he said. "are you dodging me?"

"It's a form of self-preservation" Jenna said.

"Alex, why don't you, Elena and Jenna go somewhere else" Stefan said.

"No," Logan said. "I want brownie here to stay"

I glared at him and the looked at Elena. I tilted my head to get her and Jenna out of here. She gave me a nod and left. I then looked back at Logan.

"What are you doing here?" Stefan asked.

"You know," Logan said. "Your brother asked me the same thing. In fact, why don't we just keep pass the all that 'Who turned me' stuff to get the answer that I want? How can I turn into a day walker?"

"Damon and I are the only two that I know of"

"But you both are cagey on the how, which tells me that there is a way. You want to know what I think? I think, Sabrina here," I glared at him when he called me that, "Did some sort of spell on you and your brother to make you and that's how you can walk in the sun"

"Ok, you can't be that stupid," I said. "We haven't even know each other that long plus, there is no spell to make vampires walk in the day"

Logan glared at me. He then looked between the two of us. "You know. In case that you haven't noticed, I'm quite a celebrity in this town. It would be very, very easy for me to expose you"

Stefan and I looked at each other. I then took a step towards Logan. "Logan, let me tell you something. One the most deadly spells I know that can kill a vampire is the sun spell. I can generate sunlight from my wand so here's a warning. You threaten us ever again, I will burn you to a crisp like a piece of bacon" I said with a smile.

I then walked pass him and went down the hall. I heard Stefan follow me. When we were out of sight of Logan, Stefan and I stopped and started talking.

"Smooth moves" he said with a smile.

"Ah, it's no big deal"

Stefan's phone rang. "I have to get this" he said.

"It's ok, I'll be here" Stefan walked out the door.

Caroline then walked up to me. "Hey, Alex, have you heard from Bonnie, I can't get a hold of her"

"Sorry, haven't spoken to her since lunch"

"Oh, ok. I'll try her cell again. See you later"

Stefan then came threw the front door "What's going on?" I asked.

"Damon's on his way," Stefan said. "Now, we have to go find Logan"

I gave him a nod and we were on our way.

As we were searching, I saw Matt in the hallway and stopped him. "Hey," I said. "Have you seen Logan Fell?"

"Yeah, he just given Caroline a ride home" Matt said. He then kept walking.

I turned to Stefan with wide eyes. "Stefan…"

"Stay here" he said.

I gave him a nod as he left. I then went to go find Elena.

Half and hour pass. I was standing there with Elena when I saw Stefan walking towards me.

I quickly ran up to him. "What happened?" I asked. "Where is she?"

"She's ok. I took her home, she was shaked up. All she knows is Logan attacked her, nothing else"

"And Logan is…"

"Damon's…dealing with him"

"Like…stakey, stakey?" I asked with the hand jesters.

Stefan gave me a nod. "You saw what happened tonight, right." Stefan said. "I mean, you understand why we can be together. You see?"

"Yeah I know, Stefan," I said. "I'll walk you home" I said.

"No that's ok" he said.

"No, that wasn't a question. I'm walking you home"

Stefan gave me a small smile and then a nod. "Ok, sure" we then walked out the front door.

The walk was a little long but it was worth it. We walked up to the front door and stood there for a while. Quietly.

I then had the courage to speak. "I'm sorry about what I said before about…wanting you to mean. I…kind of push it sometimes"

"No," he said. "It's ok. You had every right to"

"I'm not sure what I want to be"

"Excuse me"

"When you asked me about my plans for the future…I'm not sure what it is. I've never had any interest in the future. I'll I'm focusing on is winning the wizard competition and nothing else. I love my brothers and I know everyone thinks that Justin is going to win because he's the smart one but I want to win it so I can prove to them that I'm not a screw up. That I'm not worthless. Stefan…all of this…vampire stuff. It's not a major change in my life. No matter what, if you leave or not, this stuff will stay in my life. It's going to suffocate me one day"

"This is different" he said.

"How is it different? I deal with the same destructions everyday of my life. It doesn't matter if it's vampires, ghost or even other wizards, I'm still going to live with it"

"I know it's hard to understand," he said. "but I'm doing this for you" he said. He then opened the front door and shut it behind him. I felt the tears coming and burred my face in my hands.

I then lifted my head and opened the door. "You're not the boss of me!" I said. I walked inside and I stood in the middle of the hall. Stefan was just a couple feet away from the stairs. "Stefan…I love you and I don't care what come in our way. All I know is that I love you. If you leave me…I don't know if I can live"

Stefan turned around and looked at me. His eyes were wet. He then walked up to me and kissed me. It was like…fireworks. When we broke apart we glazed into each others eyes and then kissed again. I then lead him upstairs.

After, Stefan and I were just lying on his bed. He just had on pants and I had on his shirt.

"I gotta say," I said. "Nice room"

"Thanks," He said. "It hasn't change over the years"

"And you just leave everything like this when you leave?"

"It's the only place that…that remains constant. This room holds every memories that I left was important enough to hold on to"

"A lot of memories? Interesting…"

Stefan smiled and then gave me a kiss on the head. "You thirsty or anything?" he asked.

"Sort of…well…a lot" Stefan and I laughed. "How about you?"

"I'm fine. I'm going to get you something to drink, ok"

"Ok" Stefan then left the door and went downstairs.

I then thought it was time to do some snooping considering I'm the master at it. I got up and just started looking around. I looked at his book self, his computer desk and then the table full of candles. It had a whole bunch of books and pictures. I looked at the books and threw the papers and picked up a picture.

I stood there frozen in my tracks.

It was a picture of a girl that looked exactly like Elena and in the corner…it said…Katherine 1864.

Katherine…the Katherine that fell in love with both Stefan and Damon the vampire that turned them both. No wonder why Stefan wanted to get close to me. Just so he could get to Elena who looked exactly like his old girlfriend.

My heart felt crushed and I could feel the tears steaming down my eyes.

I put the picture down, ripped off my necklace and put it on top of the picture. I grabbed my purse and took out my wand. I flicked it in the air and immediately, my clothes were on me. I then flicked my wand again and I was standing in front of the house.

I stood in front of the porch and started walking up them.

"Alex!" I heard someone call out. I turned around and saw Elena. "Hey," she said. "Where were you?"

"Uh…at Stefan's…talking"

"Are you ok? You seemed upset"

"No…it's fine"

Then there was then a sound coming from the bushes behind us. "Alex…what was that?" Elena asked.

"I'm…not sure" I said as I looked at the bushes. Then the rustling stopped. "It's gone," I said. "We can go inside, now"

I turned around and saw that Elena was gone. "Elena!" I called out. "Elena!" I screamed louder. I then felt something hit me hard in the back of the head and then it went black.

I woke up in a large room with nothing in it. I tried to get up but I couldn't. My legs couldn't move. My arms were also chained up along with my feet. I looked around for something to get me out of here and then saw Elena, a sleep on the ground.

"Elena! Wake up" I said. She couldn't hear me.

Then, right in front of me was a shadowy figure stood there. Looking at me. "Who the hell are you and what do you want from us?" I screamed at him. He then came walking up, slowly, to me. I tried to break the chains but they wouldn't come off.

I then started screaming. "Help! Can anyone hear me! Help!"

He was a foot away when he disappeared in a blur. I then felt my eyes fall heavily.

Right before I close my eyes, I saw a dark figure stand before me and then I fell asleep.

Clothing on my profile.
