" Have you even talked to Bonnie?" I asked Caroline as we were walking with Elena.

" No i'm mad at her. She needs to make the first move." I rolled my eyes. She's so petty.

" Be the bigger person." Elena told her.

" That's impossible." Caroline looked to me offended.

" What it's true." I put my hands up in defense. Elena slapped my shoulder.

" Why are you so pissed at her anyway?" Elena asked.

" Because shes a thief. I gave her the necklace and she refuses to give it back." She said.

" Damon's necklace?" I questioned.

" Yeah. How's you know?" Caroline asked.

" I over heard you guys at the grill." I shrugged.

" Well I tried. I'm officially out of it." Elena said.

" Anyways, how are you and Stefan?" Caroline turned to me.

" We're good. We said our first I love you'd to each other yesterday." I said and cringed a bit at Elena's face.

" WHAT! how could you not tell me?!" She asked.

" In my defense we weren't on speaking terms." I said.

" Right." She said.

" Yeah but at least I told you now." I smiled

Ringggg

" We'll see you later." Elena said as we walked away from her.

::

I walked in but stopped when I didn't see Stefan confusion hit me.

Where are you?! I linked to him.

We need to talk later. I'll explain when I pick you up. He immediately linked back. I sighed and ended the link.

" Good Morning everyone." I watched as a new teacher came in. Bonnie coming in before him. She looked scared. I turned to her and gave her a look of concern. You okay? I mouthed. She shrugged.

" Alaric Saltzman. It's a mouthful I know, doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. Saltzman is of german origin. My family immigrated here in 1785 to Texas. I however was born and raised in Boston." He told us. I looked to Elena.

" I like him." I mouthed. She gave me a playful look and shook her head.

" Alaric belongs to a very dead great grandfather. I'll never be able to thank enough. It's Alaric nothing more to it." Elena looked at him with her brows raised. She was amused also.

" Now you can call me Ric. I'm your new history teacher." He smiled at us.

::

" And you always see you ancestor Emily?" I question my best friend. She nodded.

" Huh." Me and Elena said.

" Do you believe in ghost?" She asked sitting up.

" Yes." I stated. Elena gave me a look.

" What your telling me that Vampires, Witches, maybe werewolves and Amazon's are real and ghost are not?" She hummed.

" True." I winked.

" I think i'm being haunted." Bonnie stated shaken up.

" Why Emily?" Elena asked.

" Grams said she was a powerful witch back in the Civil War days and that this medallion is hers. It's a witches tails man." She responded.

" And it all started when she got the necklace." I titled my head a bit. She nodded again.

" Maybe she's trying to communicate with you." I told Bonnie.

" Well I want it to stop." She pleaded.

" I can't imagine what your going through but I don't think it's going to stop until you figure out what she's trying to tell you." I said to her honestly.

" Now I have to meet with Jeremy, see you guys later." I got up and walked back to the school.

::

" Hey Mr.Saltzman. I'm Jeremy Gilbert." He looked to me. " This is my sister Aliza. You said you wanted to see me." Ric motioned for us to come in. I linked my arm with Jeremy's and we walked in front of his desk.

" Did you know that your old teacher had a jackass file?" I covered my mouth to stop the laugh that was going to break out.

" No joke. It's typed on a label. It has all the trouble makers in it but really it's just an opus to you." Ric looked to Jeremy. He chuckled and got up going to the trash.

" Don't worry about it." He threw the folder out. " I'm not him. Clean slate." Jeremy and I smirked as we leaned against the student desks. Ric leaning on his.

" Now let's talk about grades." I laughed and Jeremy gave me a glare. Ric looked amused.

" Sorry, sorry. Continue." I said my laughter dying down.

" I know it's been a rough couple months but I've been trying to turn them around." He stated. The room was quite again.

" Yeah I saw that. But the problem is your half way through semester and half a fail is still pretty bleak." I sighed out. Jeremy looked disappointed.

" This is the part where you ask him what you can do to change it." I said to Jeremy.

" Well i'm glad you asked." Ric looked to me and Jeremy smiled a bit.

" How do you feel about extra credit?" He asked Jeremy.

" Yeah! totally. What ever." Jeremy's eyes light up with hope.

" Good. Write me a paper then." He stated simply.

" Okay? about what." Jeremy asked confused a bit.

" History. Pick a topic, keep it local. No Wikipedia. these old towns have a lot of rich history, so just get your hands dirty make it sing and your back on track." Ric said to Jeremy. Jeremy smiled making me smile.

" Deal?" Ric asked.

" Yeah, yeah deal." Jeremy and Ric shook hands. I noticed Ric's ring. It looked like a daylight ring but black. I couldn't smell vervain but something told me he wasn't a vampire but he definitely knew about them.

" That's a cool ring." I stated looking at it and back at the teacher.

" Oh thanks. It was my father's. Little garish but family. You know." He said looking up at me.

" Yup I totally do." I smiled and we started walking out.

" You have a week." Ric called to Jeremy.

::

I walked out my arm still linked with Jer's. He tapped my shoulder and pointed to Stefan who was at a table looking to me. I turned to Jeremy.

" I'll see you later okay." I kissed his cheek and walked towards Stefan but stopped and turned to Jeremy who walked the other way.

" I love you baby brother!" I shouted. Everyone looking at his. Jeremy rolled his eyes.

" I love you more big sister!" He shouted back. I laughed and walked to Stefan stopping in front of him as he got off the table.

" Hi." He said plainly. I rolled my eyes.

" That's all a hi? I was worried dummy." I slapped his arm.

" Ow!" He rubbed his arm.

" Stop being a baby. A simple I didn't or did kill Damon text should have been sent." I stated.

" I didn't kill my brother as much as he deserved it." He replied with a frown.

" So what's wrong?" I asked concerned.

" I won't be coming to school anymore. I'm leaving." He said. I started laughing.

" If you think your leaving me and this town just because of Damon you better think again." I told him laughing a bit still.

" It's better this way Aliza." He said serious.

" To you it is. We're soulmates Stefan. So if you leave i'm going with Jeremy too. I won't leave him here. Together for life remember?" I stuck my pinky out. He sighed out and connect his pinky with mine. He pulled me into a kiss.

" I love you." He mumbled against my lips.

" I love you more." I open my eyes and they connected with his.

" We don't give up and run away Stefan. Especially if the problem is Damon. We can handle it. Together." I told him not breaking eye contact.

" Together." He whispered back and kissed me again.

" Oh and don't ever pull that again." I said pulling away.

" I'm sorry." He said.

" I know. Now lets go home." I grabbed his hand and we portaled out of there.

::

Me and Stefan were in the kitchen. I was pouring myself water and he was sitting on top of the counter watching me when Elena and Bonnie came in.

" Damon threatened Bonnie." Elena stated. I walked to the table and sat. The rest following.

" What would Damon want with Bonnie?" Stefan asks wrapping his arm over my shoulders.

" It's that necklace Damon gave Caroline who gave it to Bonnie and now he wants it back." I told him.

" Over a necklace?" Stefan questioned.

" It's not just any necklace. It has to do with her heritage. It was Emily Bennett's first." I responded looking back at him and the girls who were nodding in agreement.

" She was Katherine's handmaiden and a witch. " He told us.

" You know?" Elena asked. He nodded.

" Yeah when I was over for dinner. I made the connection." He said.

" Now Damon knows and he wants the necklace." Elena said.

" Amber crystal." I pointed out.

" Yupp. It belonged to Katherine. Emily gave it to her which means that-." He stopped talking.

" What?" Bonnie and Elena asked.

" I don't know. I have to talk to Damon." He said looking at them.

" Come with?" He asked looking at me.

" Yeah of course." I stood up and we walked out.

I love Aliza and her attitude 😭
