Chapter 8

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

"Necklace." Ebony demanded, reaching with her hand out. I was stood in the middle of a circle of candles and Ebony was on the outside.

"But I'll burn." I said.

She sighed, closed her eyes and started chanting. A few seconds later, she opened her eyes and reached her hand out again. I looked at her confused and she started to explain. "I put a spell on you so you won't burn in the sun without your necklace." She said.

"Ever?" I asked shocked.

"No, a few hours." She said. I took my necklace off catiously and waited for the pain. When it never came, I gave my necklace to Ebony. She gripped it tightly and took a few steps back. "Stand in the middle." She commanded. I stood in the centre and she closed her eyes. She started chanting quietly and within seconds, the wind grew stronger. Dark, crispy leaves started to fly around in the air and the flames of the candles jumped higher. My hair blew wildly around my face as the band snapped. Lightening striked and a few of the bricks from the remains of which was my home fell. This continued for a few minutes until the flames of the candles were almost as high as a wall.

"Eb, I think you better stop now." I yelled over the wind. "Ebony!" I screeched as the flames jumped higher.

It suddenly all stopped, the wind became a gentle breeze, the leaves fell back to the ground and the candles became flameless. I looked over and saw Ebony with an unreadable expression on her face. "Ebs, what is it?" I said uncertainly.

"Klaus." She whispered. I shot over in front of her and grabbed her.

"What about Klaus? What does he want?" I said.

"You." She whispered.

"Me? What does he want with me?" I half begged.

"He won't hurt Elena for the ritual or anyone you care about as long as your his." She said.

"So, as long as I'm his little girlfriend?"

"More then that. He wont hurt anyone as long as you tell him everyday that you love him after you've left." She said quietly. Ebony knew I would go with him or else he would hurt everyone I've ever cared about. I swallowed.

"When will this happen?" I asked.

"I don't know." She sighed. I sat on the wall and put my head in my hands. I couldn't believe this. One minute everything was fine, the next my world was falling apart. I knew I had to go with him but what would I tell Damon? The truth? He wouldn't let me go, he'd find a way to kill Klaus but I couldn't risk it. I moved my hands away from my head and leaned onto the bricks. I clenched one so hard it crumbled into dust.

"I'm gonna have to go, aren't I?" I said.

Ebony nodded sadly and put a hand on my shoulder. "Unless...." She trailed off.

"Unless?" I said. She stayed quiet. I lost my temper and threw her 20ft away. She got up quickly and tried to give me an anuerism but it didn't work. "Unless what?!" I snarled at her.

"Unless I can find a spell to kill an original." She said.

"Bonnies found one but it will kill her." I sighed losing hope again.

"Lemme ask you something, how long has Bonnie been a witch?"

I shrugged. "I don't know, a year or so, why?"

"How long have I been a witch?"

"700 hundred years but..." I trailed off. "Oh, you think as your old enough, your strong enough to take him on and not die."

She smirked and nodded. In 1300s, Ebonys mother had been a witch too and cast a spell on Ebony to stop aging at 21. "Exactly." She said.

"Theres no guarantee it will work though and you could die." I said.

"It's a risk I'm willing to take." She said.

"No!"

"Your not the only one Klaus has screwed with, he's after alot of people and if I don't do this, he won't stop!"

I knew she was right but I couldn't let her do this. "Your not doing it! End of story!" I yelled. "I better go or Damon will wonder where I am. Thank you for doing this for me though." I said, hugging her. I went over to my car and got in and began to make the journey back to Mystic Falls. I looked at the time and saw it was almost 5. I sighed and turned my phone on to see I had 3 missed calls from Damon. I dialled his number and put him on speaker.

“Hello?” He said.

“Hey, it’s me, sorry I didn’t pick up, my phone was off. I’m on my way home now though.” I said, turning onto the motorway.

“Good, I was worried. How long do you think your gonna be?”

“Umm, around an hour, not sure yet.” I said. “So what have you been doing?”

“Not much, went to the Grill. I’m bored without you.” He whined. I laughed and I heard him growl.

“Aww, poor little Damon, don’t worry, when I’m home we’ll have lots of fun.” I smirked.

“Don’t tease.” He whined again. I laughed again.

"I'll be home soon, see you later. I love you Damon." I said. I meant it and if we had limited time together, I was gonna make sure he knew that.

"I love you too Ruby." He said and we hung up. I felt tears invade my eyes as I struggled to see through the bluriness.

---

I arrived home earlier then I thought. I went up the steps and through the front door. I had been inside for a few seconds before I felt two arms wrap around me from behind. "I missed you." He whispered huskily into my ear. I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck. I kissed up his neck softly until I found his lips. "I missed you too." I murmered. He lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He kissed me deeply and we were suddenly in our room.

"You really did miss me didn't you?" I smirked.

"More then you can imagine." He murmered. I pulled back and looked at him.

"Even though I was only gone for a few hours?" I asked.

He nodded. "But it doesn't matter because we have forever." He smiled and started kissing me again. I kissed him back with as much guilt as I could handle. He pulled at my shirt as I started unbuttoning his. He ripped my shirt off and I whined. "I liked that one!" I complained. He chuckled and kissed me again.
