Staked

Chapter 6

------

I saw the stake enter his heart and his body become lifeless. "Damon!" I screamed. I heard a evil laugh and I ran over to the mystery killer. Just as I grabbed him, I woke up. I jolted upright gasping. It was only a dream.

"Hey, whats wrong? You okay?" I heard Damon soothing voice and his arms wrap around me. I looked at him and he looked worried.

"Umm, yeah, just a bad dream." I said smiling weakly. He nodded but the look didn't vanish from his face. He pulled me ontop of him and I snugged into his chest.

"What was it about?" He asked softly. I didn't want to tell him so I made something up.

"Oh, just some stuff from my past." I said and kissed his chest. He nodded and we both went back to sleep.

-------> Damons POV

I woke up the next morning to an empty bed. I heard the water shut off in the bathroom and I heard the bathroom door unlock. Ruby came out in a towel and smiled when she saw me. I got up, pecked her cheek and went into the bathroom. I had a shower and got changed. I went back into the bedroom and saw that Ruby was sitting crossed legged on the bed on her laptop. She looked deep in concentration so I sat behind her and leaned my chin on her shoulder. I looked at the screen and saw she was going through her family tree.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Looking at memories." She mumbled.

Ruby Marie Porter, Born 1329, Died 1350. Daughter to Estella and Graham Porter. Sister to Carmyn.

Carmyn Elizabeth Porter, Born 1336, Died, 1417.

Hazel Lydia Copperfield, Born 1365, Died 1446. Daughter to Carmyn and Harry.

"Is your family still alive? Like long great, great, great, great nieces or nephews?" I said.

She nodded. "Michael and Olivia. Both married, Olivia has 3 children and Michael has 2."

"Why does it say you died at 21?"

"I was turned a few weeks after my 21st birthday, a few months later, there was a fire, I found my oppurtunity and took it. They all thought I died in the fire, thought they never found my body. Even Carmyn believed it. I used to sit on the branch outside her window and watch her cry for hours. My parents left the country a few years after my death but by then, Carmyn was in love and stayed here. Its a very long, complicated story." She said. I nodded and understood that she didn't wanna talk about it. I picked her up and turned her to face me.

"Why are you looking this up?"

"Like I said, memories." She said softly.

Rubys POV--------------->

I reached behind me and turned my laptop without getting out of Damons arms. It was nice to pretend I was back in the past sometimes.

Flashback---- (I have no idea about the 1300s by the way so I'm making this up.)

" Ruby, help your sister with her dress, Mr Cunniffe will be here any minute." Mother called.

"Yes mother." I said and went and helped Carmyn with her dress. Mr Cunniffe was visiting as a potential husband for me. I was only 19.

"Are you nervous?" Carmyn asked. She was only 11 but she already understood.

"Not really. After the first two potentials, it doesn't bother you anymore." I said, putting my necklace in place. I sprayed some perfume over me and made my way down the stairs with Carmyn right behind me. I saw my father talking to a man who I assumed was 'Cunniffe'. He had light brown hair and shiny blue eyes. I curtsied and smiled. He smiled back and bowed. I saw Carmyn smiled shyly and followed me into the parlour. "Mr Cunniffe has just arrived, Mother." I said.

My Mother nodded."Remember, his first name is Klaus." She said.

End Of Flashback.--------------

"So Klaus turned me, I thought he was no one until the whole doppleganger-death-elena-sacrafice thing." I shrugged. Damon looked shocked but stayed with it. "But we killed Katherine before Klaus could capture her." I shrugged again. Damon kissed my forhead and leaned his head on my shoulder. I got out of his arms and kissed him softly. I went downstairs with Damon behind me and went to the living room. I layed down on the couch with my head in Damons lap. "So what are we gonna do about saving Elena?" I asked.

Damon sighed but shrugged. "I don't know, luckily he hasn't turned up yet." He said.

I nodded and closed my eyes. I then slowly fell asleep 

--------------

*** I kept running until I couldnt breathe and had to stop. I stopped and leaned on the tree for a minute until I caught my breath back and started running again. It was pitch black and I was trying to escape by running as far as I could through the woods. I didnt get very far before I felt a hand grab my arm and push me into the tree. I hit the tree hard and felt the back of my head become very sticky. I reached behind me and felt the blood gushing out of my head. I looked up at Klaus and he was smiling at me. I swallowed and tried to speak. 

"L-leave me alone!" I practically begged. He smirked and bent down so our faces were level.  

"Tell me Ruby, why do you fear me? Why did you run?" He questioned. 

"You-you kill people, your a-a vampire." I stuttered. 

He laughed. "I am." I tried to get up but he stopped me. "I wouldn't do that if I were you because I'm becoming impatient and very thirsty." He grinned. His face suddenly changed, cracks appeared under his eyes and his blunt teeth turned into fangs, he then lunged for my throat.*** 

----- 

I shot up, gasping and screamed when I felt I hand on my face, I stopped when I realised it was Damon.  

"Ruby, shhh, calm down, it's me, it's Damon." He said soothingly. I calmed my breathing and wrapped my arms around Damon. He tightened his arms around me and I snuggled into his chest, feeling safe and protected, like nothing could get me. 

"Damon, somethings coming, something bad, something deadly, and we need to be prepared." I whispered.
