Bex stood on the steepest hill in Mystic Falls, surrounded by thich wood and an alter stood in front of her with Chris behind it. He paused and dug somdthing out of his pockets and passed her two rings, with a sad look. Bex held them in her hand, immediately knowing which was from who, one ring was a solid gold band with the words Always & Forever ingraved into the face of it and on the inside My Hero, Love Klaus was carved in, she slid that one onto her left pointer finger. The second ring was a silver band with a simple white diamond in the middle, and ingraved into the inside was Lovely AraBecca, and she put that one on to her right ring finger. A rebel tear slid down her face as she looked back up at Chris.
His face held a broken expression as he slid a knife across his palm and let the blood drip onto the alter, before passing it over to Bex who held it with a shaky hand.
She winced as the cool metal dug into her palm, tearing apart the skin, she trusted it out over the alter letting it drip beside Chris's. She listened as he began to chant and a hot pain seared through her body making her cry out in pain. Her knees buckled as faint cuts began to crawl across her pale skin, the faint cuts became slowly and painfully became deeper and deeper dragging themselves across all of her slin, bloodying her white dress and cutting through the fabric.
It was as if ghosts were shoving invisible knifes into her stomach and then a burning sensation started at her finger tips making her fall to the ground on her back screaming in agony.
She looked down at her fingers, she watched with a horrified expression as her skin burned away before her eyes. She screamed again, and Chris winced tears filling his eyes as he kept chanting.
Bex was still being cut and burned and every time she screamed she could feel water rushing into her lungs, choking her. The pain was excruciating and she wouldn't stop thrashing around her burning hands scratching at her chest.
Chris couldn't tear his eyes off of his friend his chanting was becoming faint as his friends pain became worse. His heart was breaking into a million pieces, and he was beginning to wonder if Marie was worth this pain and this guilt, he was about to stop when Bex screamed
"DO NOT STTOOOOPPPP!" Her eyes were closed as tight as she could get them and the smell of burning flesh invaded her nostrils and she could almost taste the water
Chris chanted a little louder as she requested and he cried tears pouring down his face as he chanted. Suddenly, he stopped and the non verbal part of the ritual and he ran towards Bex whose thrashing had stopped and her chest was barely moving he kneeled besides her
"It's okay. It's okay." She garbled out fumbling for his hand
"I'm so sorry, Bex, I'm so sorry. God, I'm sorry." He whimper pulling something out of pocket and he shoved it into her hand, "This-This will help you, take you to a place where you can back, Bex." Her eyes darted down to the black arrowhead in her hand and she held it tightly
"Give my letters....to them." She choked out and Chris would never forget her next words, they would be the ones that haunted his dreams, "And be happy, Pickles." Her eyes faded out and he screamed in pain shaking her shoulders telling her to wake up wake up! He wailed when she didn't his head resting on her torso as he cried.
Bex Gilbert was dead.
