Witch (Ruby Rose)

°21°

Ruby's POV

"Ok, what we need is for you to sit crossed legged in the middle of this circle of candles with your hands on your knees and back straight. All you need to do is close your eyes and focus on nothing but Toni."

I do as Ivy tells me quickly, eager to connect with Toni. Ivy and Iris told me that since our connection is still very new, they would need to help strengthen it through a special ritual I have no clue about. As long as I can speak with Toni, I'm willing to do anything they need from me.

"Once you connect with her, you'll be in special type of mindscape and you will able to be with her as if it were real life. Just stay focused and you'll be able to control the things that happen. Hopefully Toni is somewhere she can connect with you too." Ivy says as she hands me a cup with a clear liquid.

"Drink this, it'll enhance your powers and help you control them for a few minutes so you can get through this without harming yourself."

"What do you mean by that?" I ask a little nervous. Not that anything would stop me from doing this but I'd at least want to know what consequences there could be.

"Don't worry hun," Iris begins, she can see I'm getting a little stressed, "what Ivy means is that since you're pretty new to this whole thing of soulmate connections and that you still aren't fully capable of Royal Blood powers, it's safer for you to drink that so you don't overexert yourself or lose control because this ritual is definitely going to trigger your powers."

Nodding slowly, I take in the information. Honestly, I can't do anything but nod and do as I'm told. All of this is a lot to go through and I just want to be with my Toni. Hopefully this will all end soon.

"Now, concentrate."

That's the lady's thing they tell me to do before they start speaking in a language I don't understand, triggering the ritual to begin.

The world around me seems to warp away, changing to a place that feels familiar to me.

'that was faster than I thought..'

Standing up, I begin to look around. I'm in a wide clearing in the middle of a field, surrounded by lush green grass that reaches pass my knees and blooming flowers in pinks and whites that smell like Toni.

Walking forward slowly and slightly confused, I spot a large lake, the water sparkling like crystals because of the suns reflection. This place is like a picture, or a dream, and it makes me feel at peace, which is something I haven't felt in a long while.

With a small smile I carry on walking, something inside me telling me to keep walking.

As I look around some more, enjoying the feeling of the sun and soft breeze, I spot a figure ahead of me looking around it seems.

My heartbeat accelerates when I see her, the girl I've missed so much it hurt, she was here looking for me.

Not wasting any time I immediately bolt towards her, running faster then I ever had to hold her. She soon notices me and she smiles the brightest smile I've ever seen before running to me as well.

We finally reach each other and hold each other so close that I'm sure we'd probably meld together. It's almost hard to believe that she's here in my arms.

Pulling away by only a little, I look at her, studying her features that I've missed so much. I feel her hand on my cheek, her thumb wiping away tears I didn't know were falling. I could only smile widely and stare.

"I miss you..."

I barely heard myself say, my voice just barely above a whisper as I hold her closer. I see her smile wider before she pulls me in to a kiss that feels so soft and so sweet and so real.

"I miss you too."

~~~~~~~

I don't know how long it's been that we've been here, laying on the grass in each other's arms looking up at the sky as clouds float by and birds fly freely. There's even a few butterflies fluttering around. This place is true bliss, I don't want to leave.

"Ruby..." she calls me softly, knowing that neither of us want to ruin this moment but also that we can't stay here.

I sigh and sit up, pulling Toni up with me so we can face each other and talk about the dooming fate of the near future.

"I know... we can't stay here. I just miss you. I hate that you're stuck in that god-awful place with her, and the way she treats you and the awful things she says she's going to do to the world. I don't want anything bad to happen."

I feel my anger bubbling up as I remember the things I heard this morning. I guess that's why Ivy and Iris gave me that potion to control my powers because I can feel it flowing under my skin as I get angrier.

Then suddenly I feel her hands on my face which calms me down.

"Ruby, you need to calm down. I know this is hard and stressful but we need to get through this. We'll come up with a plan to stop this and make sure that Kara doesn't succeed. It's our destiny my love, so we will get through this."

I can see she's scared and angry as well, but she's being strong for me. So I should do the same for her.

Before I can say or do anything, however, I see her cringe and bring her hand to her head which makes me worry.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just a headache. I think Kara's trying to wake me up."

I become upset again at the interruption. Though I know we had to go back to reality at some point, I hate that I have to leave Toni again.

"Look, Ruby we'll be ok, I'll be ok. This will be over and we'll be together again for real. But you have to trust me ok?"

I nod, pulling her in my arms and kissing her again before burying my face in her neck.

"I love you." We say at the same time and when I open my eyes, I'm back in the beach house with Ivy and Iris who smile sadly at me.

Wiping my tears away I thank them before going back to Toni's room and laying down on her bed. She's right. All I can do is trust her. This is our prophecy and things are just going the way they are supposed to. In the end, this will be all over and we'll be happy again. It's destiny.
