Chapter 11: New Teachers and Knowledge

I was at school after heading to the boarding house. I wanted to make sure Damon was ok and make sure Stefan didn't kill him after I left last night. I don't get it, Stefan said he spared his life because I asked him to. Does that mean he would have killed Damon if I didn't beg him not to? I don't know. What confused me more was that after Damon was stabbed he wouldn't drink from me. I don't know why, he needed it so he healed faster. I'll never understand the Salvatores.

I was talking to Caroline as to why she wasn't talking to Bonnie. "Have you talked to Bonnie since last night?"I asked. "No, I'm mad at her. She needs to make the first move."she tells me. "Be the bigger person Care." She groans. "Impossible in her presence."she tells me. "Care, you know I love you but you need to elaborate why sweet Bon Bon is suddenly the wicked witch of the west."I tell her, no pun intended by the way. "She's a thief that's why. I gave her my necklace and she refuses to give it back."she tells me. As soon as she says necklace my vision starts to get cloudy. I blink and suddenly I'm not in the school parking lot.

I was in the woods, near the old Fell's church. I turn around and see a woman there in a 1800's dress. She kind of looked like Bonnie. I look and see she was wearing the necklace Bonnie was talking about. "Emily..."I hear a whisper say, which made me spin around. Nothing was there. I turn to face the woman and she was gone. My sight starts to get cloudy and I blink. I was suddenly back in the parking lot with Caroline. "It's a matter of principal."I hear her finish. What? I just decide to brush it off and continue like nothing happened.

"Alright, well I tried. I'm officially out of it."I tell her. "Good, your turn. Where's Tyler?"she asked. "He is-"I tried to say but was interrupted when lips kissed mine. I pull back and smile when I see him there with a cheesy grin on his face. "-here."I finish. "I can see that."she said grimacing. I laugh and turn to her. I give her a look. "Oh right! Well um... I'll see you later, Mid. Umm, ya."she says and walks away. Me and Tyler laugh before he wraps his arms around my waist. "So, I was wondering maybe tonight? You can come over, we have dinner, maybe a movie?"he suggests. I think for a moment. "Maybe, have to make sure with my aunt first."I tell him. He smiles and kisses me. The bell rings and we head to class.

I head into class to see Elena looking upset. I sit behind her. "Hey Lena, you ok?"I ask. She turns around. "Oh so you're talking to me now?"she asks harshly. I put up my hands. "Just a question."I mutter and put my hands down. She sighs. "I'm sorry, about everything. I'm just worried about Stefan."she says. "Oh no need to be. I went by this morning to check on Damon after last night. He's fine."I tell her. She looks at me. "So he didn't kill Damon?"she asks. I nod. "Yup, only because, and I quote Stefan's words, I did this for Mid, she wanted me to spare your life so I did. Better thank her for it. If I didn't stop him then maybe Damon would be..."I trail off. The bell rings and Bonnie rushes in along with a man.

"Morning Everyone."he calls out. Bonnie goes and sits beside me. She didn't look to good. "You ok?"I whisper to her. She only shrugs. I look at the board to see the man wrote, Alaric Saltzman. "Alaric Satlzman. It's a mouth full, I know. It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. Salzman is of German origins. My family emigrated here in 1775 to Texas. I, however, was born and raised in Boston. Now the name, Alaric, belongs to a very dead great grandfather I would never be able to thank enough. You would probably want to pronounce it Al-aric, but it's Aul-aric, ok? But you can call me Ric. I'm your new history teacher."he finishes with a smile. I smile a little too. I think I like this teacher.

After school, I went to talk with Bonnie about what got her so freaked this morning. I let Elena tag along just in case. Bonnie was telling us she was having this dream over and over again. And she talked about this woman in 1800's clothing which scared me a bit. And her name was Emily, an ancestor of Bonnie's/ I mean, it could be a coincidence. But then again nothing is a coincidence in this town anymore. I mean it would explain why the women from my vision kind of looked liked Bonnie. "And then I end up at the remains of the old Fell's church before I woke up back in th woods." Bonnie finishes telling us.
