008. ALL FOR A LITTLE CRYSTAL

Chapter eight

"All for a little crystal."

Footsteps could be heard running through the woods as a girl with black boots led the way, kicking mud up but she didn't slow down, jumping over one of the logs in front of her, as the other one who followed behind her had a light brown boots on she jumped over the log as well, as a pair of red boots followed at the end, she jumped over as well, where then they all landed down and stood up walking forward, a fire was lit around them, turning into a pentagram, and as it did, Beatrix was standing at the top as the point while, her grandma stood to the right of her, her mother then stood to the left, and the crystal lied down in the middle.

The three were going to join hands but before they could, a blast of fire was sent there way, sending the three of them flying back and when the smoke started to clear, a different women was standing there "Emily!" her grandmother voiced, as Beatrix furrowed her brows "as in Emily Bennett?" she asked, as her grandmother turned to her "yes and you can not let her have that necklace! The power belongs to us! She stole it from me years ago, but the day things went bad I stole it back and that's why it found you!" she voiced "you have to destroy it!" her mom told her, as Beatrix furrowed her brows "why don't all three of us destroy it? We're stronger in numbers, right? Right!" she voiced,

But before she could get answer, she woke up, but this time not in the woods but in her bed, as she huffed, falling back onto it.

Walking into history class, Beatrix found her spot, not even sparing a look at Elena nor Bonnie as she walked in late, just as their new history teacher came in "alrighty. Let's see." as he began writing his name on the chalkboard, as he then turned to them "Alaric Saltzman. It's a mouthful, I know. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. Saltzman is of German origins. My family immigrated her in 1755 to Texas. I, however, was born and raised in Boston. Now the name Alaric belongs to a very dead great grandfather I'll never be able to thank enough. You'll probably wanna pronounce it Alar- ric, but it's Alar-ic, okay? So you can call me Rick. I'm your new history teacher." he shared, as Beatrix yawned.

Where after class during lunch, Bonnie and Elena were sitting on a bench together "and then I ended up at the remains of old fells church before I woke up back in the woods although today unlike every other day Beatrix wasn't there." Bonnie shared "and you always see your ancestor Emily?" Elena asked her "and now more then usual these three teenage girls in hood cloaks that Emily's warning me about. Do you believe in ghosts?" Bonnie asked her "two weeks ago. I'd say no, but now.." Elena told her "I think I'm being haunted." Bonnie shared "I don't get it. Why Emily and those three teenage girls?" Elena asked.

"Grams says she was a powerful witch back in the civil war days although that she had a teacher far more powerful who she stole a lot of things from including the medallion that Beatrix has been wearing around her neck, it's a witch's talisman." Bonnie shared "and it all started when she got the necklace?" Elena asked her "I think she's using it communicate with me." Bonnie shared "okay. What does grams say about it?" Elena asked her "I can't call her. She's gonna tell me to embrace it. I don't wanna embrace it. I want it to stop." Bonnie shared, as Elena sighed "you know that means we're gonna have to talk to Beatrix? Who either then you has basically decided to not be friends with any of us?" she asked, as Bonnie shook her head "she's the only one who can give me any answers." she shared, as Elena nodded.

After school, Beatrix was going to head back home, as Damon appeared in front of her, making her jump "will you ever stop doing that?" she asked him, as she stepped around him "oh, come on, I helped you guys now it's your turn to help me." Damon told her as he followed her "listen, I want my necklace." He told her "and you'll get it when you tell us what exactly you wanna do with it." Beatrix shared "I'm trying to help you, here." Damon told her, as Beatrix chuckled "no, no, this is you using me to help you not you helping." she shared "see, you do want my help and you don't even know it. You know why, you little witch, cause you've stumbled into something you need to stumble out of." Damon told her.
