Fire On Fire | The Vampire Diaries [1]

The redhead woke up with a massive headache, she was never the one to cry over boys but she loved Damon and she couldn't help but feel anger and hurt that all this time he was in love with Elena and not her, sitting on the edge of the bed a sketch on her nightstand caught her eyes.

She opened it slowly to see a sketch of her and the horse she was petting last night and a note from Klaus written on the bottom, "Thank you for your honesty, Klaus"

She set the sketch aside sighing heavily before the doorbell rang she frowned walking down the stairs to see none other than the original vampire Elijah, "Ashley Forbes?" He asked uncertain.

She narrowed her eyes at the original, "Yeah"

"I'm Elijah Mikaelson" He said introducing himself, the redhead crossed her arms in front of her chest, "I know who you are, What do you want?" She questioned with a frown on her face.

"My sister Rebekah told me all about your gift how you're able to look into one's past, sometimes future I was wandering if I can ask you to look at my mother's" He explained putting his hands in his pockets getting a necklace, "My mother wore that necklace yesterday I'm sure you'd find something"

"Why would I help you?" She inquired.

"Because just like I have a family you have one too, I'd hate for something bad to happen to them" He threatened clenching his jaw

The redhead shook her head in confusion, "Did you just threaten my family?"

"I won't have to, if you help me no harm will come to them" He stated

Ashley contemplated her decision before sighing knowing that the original vampire won't hesitate to slaughter her family, "Fine, give me the stupid necklace" Elijah nodded handing the necklace to her.

Closing her eyes the redhead followed the trail of essence left on the necklace it was indeed their mother visions flashed in front of her eyes, she watched Elena beside the witch as the blood transfered from one original to another and a promise of the originals wiped from existence.

She gasped opening her eyes staring at Elijah, "It wasn't just Klaus she wanted to kill, it's all of you"

Elijah frowned, "How would she do that?"

"She already linked all of you as one yesterday at the ball, Kill one original and the rest will drop dead" Handing him the necklace, "Now if you don't mind I have other things to do"

She turned around heading for the door, "Ashley, Thank you" She shook her head entering her house without a second glance.

"Why does it have to be me?" She asked agitated at the phone with Alaric as the history teacher had called her to distract Klaus so that they could dagger Kol and thus not having to worry about Rebekah killing Elena.
