"Me?" I had pointed to myself and they gave a devilish grin and started laughing. Ok physco.

"Who are you anyway" Lizzie paced back and forth in-front of them.

"I'm surprised you haven't heard of me. I'm Cleo" she smiled and rested her head against the wall.

Great. Lizzie groaned and kicked her foot in the wall. That's gotta hurt.

"What's wrong" I asked her.

"Cleo the Salvatore boarding schools new member" she gave a tight smile and started pacing and talking to herself again. Ok not a vampire or werewolf. How have I never seen her?

"Okay but why did you come here to kill me"

She laughed. I literally don't get what she keeps laughing at.

"Malivore wants me to kill you and besides I don't like how cozy you and Hope are getting so why not erase my elimination"

When had she been hanging out with Hope. Nope I can't get distracted.

"Ok look nothing is going on between my and Hope and I'm sorry but we can't let malivore have what it wants"

"But-" she resisted her chains and began to thrash.

"Ad sunom" I raised my fist and clenched it before Cleos head fell and she went limp again.

"Let's hurry get what we need and leave before she wakes up again" I told Lizzie before she began scurrying around the draws.

"What are we searching for anyway"

"It's a bowl sorta like a bowl for mixing clay" the pots and pans began clattering to the floor as Lizzie sweeper the entire desk with her hand.

I looked at Cleo and realized she had a backpack strung around her arm. There was a 99% chance whatever was in there was the artifact Lizzie was looking for.

As soon as I opened it the gold stained metal bowl with indents all around. As soon as I grabbed it I felt a shock within me that seized something and temporarily made me faint. The darkness came and go in seconds.

"Stef" Lizzies voice rang in my ears and I could hear her feet running over to me.

"Stefanie" she shook my body before I took a large gasp of air and finally opened my eyes without it going back to darkness.

"And I'm guessing that's it" Lizzie remarked.

"No really" I rubbed my temples trying to ignore the pounding headache that came on.

"Ok let's grab her and the bowl and go" I said before Lizzie nodded and started undoing Cleos rope restraints.

We both dragged Cleo to the car and put her restraints and headed back to Mystic falls leaving white more college with a dirty mess to clean. And memories I will probably never forget.

"Thanks for bringing me" I turned my head towards Lizzie who was driving.

"Well I wasn't expecting this I was actually going to take you to a party that I heard about off campus but I guess that worked too" she genuinely smiled and laughed.

"Yeah I guess it did"

                              •••

   Three hours later we made it back safely into mystic falls luckily without Cleo waking up. It was still dark by the time we strolled back into the Salvatore boarding school gates and Ric plus the super square rushing out of the school to meet us.

Me and Lizzie quickly got out of the car and I opened the trunk revealing the other missing student of theirs.

"Cleo welcome back" I smiled.

"Guys meet the malivore monster who tried to kill me"

"Thanks Lizzie, your welcome for bringing her back unharmed" she bowed to everyone.

"Now if I don't mind I'd like to take a big nap since I've been up for more than 24 hours" I strolled past everyone to try and make it to my bed before I collapsed.

I assumed Mg and Kaleb were bringing Cleos body to the wolf transformation cage and everyone else is going to be researching all about Cleo the new student. I'm still trying to figure out why malivore wants me and what happened when I touched the bowl. But those problems were still going to be their when I woke up.
