Song of Chapter- Say it on the radio- The Wanted (8)

If I can't have you,

Why won't you let me go?

If you don't want me,

Say it on the radio ♥ (8)

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

I woke up the next morning to the sound of shuffling. I opened my eyes and saw Grace putting some clothes in the drawer. She turned to me and smiled.

"Good morning Miss Porter." She said. Miss Porter?

"Morning Grace, you don't have to call me Miss Porter, you know? Just call me Ruby." I said.

She didn't saw anything, she just went back to what she was doing. She had her red hair tied up and I could see another bite mark on her neck. It must of been recent because there was blood trickling down her neck. I tried to ignore it but I could feel the monster inside me rising to the surface. I went into the en suite and looked for a first aid kit. I went back to Grace and put some dressing on it to stop the bleeding. She flinched a few times but I tried to do it carefully. After I was done, I put the kit on the dresser and sat down on the bed. She looked confused but grateful at the same time. Before she could say anything, I got some clothes out and went into the bathroom. I showered and changed into my superman t-shirt, denim shorts and blue converse. I went back into the bedroom and saw Grace was gone. I went onto the landing and down to the kitchen. I saw Klaus, leaning against the wall so I went over to him. Just go with it. I kissed his cheek lightly and placed my hand on his arm.

"Morning Ruby." He said.

"Morning." I said, walking towards the stool at the bar. I sat down and a blonde haired servant, gave me a glass of blood and some pancakes. I didn't like to live on just blood, human food took away the cravings. I ate the food quickly and then downed the blood. Klaus was gone but the blonde servant was now washing up the dishes so I went and stood next to her. "Hi, I'm Ruby." I said. She looked up at me and I saw fear in her eyes.

"Please don't hurt me." She pleaded, backing away. What had Klaus done to her?

"I won't hurt you, I promise. What's wrong?" I swore. She stopped but I could see she will still scared. "What's your name?"

"T-Tia."

I nodded. "Why did you think I would hurt you?"

That was when I saw how many bite marks she had on her. 1, 2, 3, on her neck, 1, 2, 3, 4, on her left arm and another one on her other arm. Oh my god. Quite a few of them were still bleeding. I but my wrist and let the blood flow into a glass. It healed up quickly and I gave it to Tia. "What is it?"

"My blood, it will help, I promise." I said solemnly. She looked scared at first but downed it quickly. I saw the marks dissapear and I sighed. I grabbed one of the wet dishes and a dishtowel and started to dry the dish. Tia looked confused but continued to wash up the dishes.

"Ruby, what are you doing? We have servants for that." A voice said from the doorway. It was Klaus.

"I know, I just wanted to help." I said, trying to make my voice sound less hostile.

"Still as considerate as I remember." He said. I sighed and walked over to him. I put my hands lightly on his shoulders and kissed him softly. It's Damon, Damon, Damon. "I was just helping her out. I don't like the way you treat them." I said. Maybe if I was more affectionate, he would be in a better mood which mean't he would be nicer to them. "Please treat them better."
