Ebony Lestrange: A journey to Mystic Falls. Book two

Chapter One

" That fucking Bitch," I swore, holding the phone up to my ear,
" I know that's what I said, that bitch is stealing my designs and passing them as her own," Gazelle snaps. I laugh, it been a month since I left hogwarts, still missing the twins, and of course still missing Salem,
" How's Salem?" I ask, silence fills the line, " Gazelle?" I ask,
" Well, he got another cat pregnant," she whispers, " This snobby cat that lives next door," she whispers, I laugh, like mother like son, I guess.
" Of course he goes with a girl with a little attitude," I laugh.
" Greg get your child she's drawing on the walls," she yells, I laugh again, I sit on my blue coach, in my new apartment. It has navy blue walls and a white roof, with a wood floor. Plants everywhere, and pictures all over the place. Some pictures of people I don't know, the organization wanted me to look super normal compared to a muggle, wanting me to blend.
" Babe, I got to get going, my job pays after I do it, and we're late on rent," I hear Greg yell vaguely. Gazelle chuckles, I hear a small kiss and then the door closes.
" I wish you could faze here," she whines,
" I can, but the organization wants me off magic, so I can't," I whine back,
" Oh goodness I got to go, My baby is all over the place, drawing on walls and shit," she panics, I giggle,
" Alright, I'm just waiting for my work to call me, love you bye G," I give a small smooch sound into the phone, her copying,
" Bye E," she says, then hangs up. I put down my phone on my coffee table and pick up my coffee mug, taking a sip of my chai tea. A orange cat struts it's way across the room from my bedroom to its bowl of food in the kitchen. My organization thought it would be nice to have a cat that's never been around magic, to give my life the finishing touch of "muggle worthiness," never thought that an orange cat is what muggles call normal. My phone rang, I pick it up and answer it holding it up to my ear,
" Hello this is Ebony L, who's this?" I say sweetly into the phone,
" Hello this is Derek, I am the organization coordinator and I would like to give you the school you will be going to for the data. Your going to mystic falls high school. But, be careful I have heard of dangerous creatures around there. But you should be fine," a deep male voice says on the other end, I squeal silently,
" Alright, am I already in the system? Just gotta show up tomorrow?" I ask, I hear a scoff,
" If You don't know, you have a tour at the school, the. You go tomorrow to start research," he explains,
" At what time?" I ask picking up a pen and a piece of paper, ready to write the time,
" Well it's at 1:00," he laughs, I look at my watch,
" Fuck it's 1:05, thanks for the information, goodbye," I hear him hang up and I sprint to the bathroom. I put on gray sweatpants and a dark blue sweatshirt, throw my hair up into a messy bun, and adjust my glasses. I fix my nose ring, then put on a little bronzer and some blush. I race out the door grabbing my keys, phone, and running shoes, I throw my running shoes on while I jump to the elevator from my apartment door, locking it behind me.
I exit the elevator and speed walk out of the building, I sprint to the school which is three miles away. I look at my watch when I arrive, 1:25, perfect. I check myself in my phone camera, I look good enough for a small tour.  I rush inside, going straight to the office, I walk in confident, an old woman wearing bright blue glasses with small fake Gems stairs me down,
" Name," her nasal voice screeched, I get to the front counter,
" Ebony Lestrange, sorry I'm late for my 1:00pm tour," I apologize, the woman clicks her long nails on the keyboard, she nods and picks up the phone putting in a series of number and waiting. She taps her nails on the desk,
" Hello, can Carolina come to the front desk, there a new student who needs a tour?" She says, she brings her nails to her eyes checking them, " Perfect, alright bye," the old woman smiled at me and pointed to the door, " wait out there for your guide," she said, I nod and walk out of the office, sitting down in a chair by the door. I hear clacking of heels coming from down the hall, and a small giggle, creepy much. I look at the sound, a thin girl, with light blonde hair and a wide perfect smile. We meet eyes and she speed walks towards me. This girl wearing skinny jeans, and a frilly floral shirt, giggled and hugs me when she gets too me,
" Hello I'm Caroline, and I will be your guide, this is so cool, a new student," she smiles, she jumps up and down giggling, i jump a little too, but still a little confused of her behavior.
" Umm, I'm Ebony," I say, she shakes my hand, then grabs it to pull me along,
" Oh that's a beautiful name, let's start this tour," she exclaims, we go down the hall of the high school, blue lockers lining the walls.
" This is so exciting, two new students this week," she exclaims, hmm another new student,
" Oh that's cool, what's their name?" I ask, trying to mal natural conversation,
" Well, his names Stefan Salvatore, and he's a complete hottie," she laughs, I bet by the way she looks she probably could get any guy, and that means probably some new hottie.
" Oh I bet, if you say he is, he probably is," I laugh,
" So I need to grab my stuff, since class is about to be over, the. We can get on with the tour," she smiles, I nod. We stop at a blue door, labeled 206.
" you can come in, if you want," she says, opening the door, I follow her into the room, the classroom looked totally different then hogwarts classes,
" who's this Caroline?" A male teacher in some real nerdy glasses,
" This is Ebony, she's a new student," she smiles putting her hands towards me to "present" me to the class. I look around at the room, all the faces and eyes on me. But, something got my attention, a ring on a handsome guys finger. Real magic leaked out of it, swarming around it. Me and the guy meet eyes, his green with blue around the iris. He smiles and waved, I put on a emotionless face, he seems dangerous.
" oh well welcome, I got an email you will be joining our class tomorrow I see," the teacher exclaims, I look back down at the ring.
" Yah, can't wait,"I say monotone, still in a trance of the ring, what magic was in that ring? I need to find out the secret of this town.
" Alright let's get on with the tour," Caroline said, she grabbed her black bag and lead me out of the classroom. I waved to the class, still staring at the ring.
" That hot guy with the strong arms, jawline to die for is Stefan," she drooled, I laugh at her reaction,
" How new is he?" I ask,  she looks at me with wide eyes, probably picturing him without a shirt on.
" It's his first day," she replied, so he's only been here for a day, and already had everyone under his spell.
" Oh ok," I said. She showed me the rest of the school, where my classes were, library, cafeteria, and where the bus drops off and picks up. I went back to the office, picking up all the information I needed for my first day of muggle school tomorrow.  I let the school, and headed straight to my apartment, another three miles of running, with a small stop at the grocery for milk, and eggs.
I unlock the door, and kick of my running shoes. The orange cat runs up to me rubbing its body over my leg, thus feels like cheating, Salem will be devastated if he thought I replaced him. My phone ringed, I answer it, Derek starts to talk into the line,
" Hello, Ebony..... how was the tour?" He laughed, of course I get the smart ass.
" There's a Guy with a magical ring at the school, basically leaking out of the ring," I report, silence.
" What do you mean? Is the ring a magical object? Or is it just something magical?" Derek questions,
" Well, the ring has a magical presence. It has something there, in the ring Derek," I tried to explain,
" Call back when you have more information," he hangs up, what in the fuck did he want? The fucking ring shipped to him. Whatever. I walk to the kitchen putting the groceries away. All I do is sit and eat. I need to do something other than that. Can't go to bat because of age, can't smoke I like my lungs as they are. Maybe train more?
Since leaving hogwarts, the organization wanted me to be able to defend myself without magic. So I have been trained in karate, kickboxing, and boxing. All I did for the first two weeks of being in Mystic falls is fight training, and muggle classes: which basically means that I learned a few things between witches and muggles have in common and things we do differently. I would wake up at five, then get ready for ten minutes, leave the house and get to fight training. Then, five hours of classes, at 10:00 I would break for lunch, then more fight training till 9:00. Then, get home do the homework for the muggle classes, done at 11:00, then make dinner. Then practice again at fight training, till 2:00. Then, The process repeats. And if I want to rebel, I will go on a run. I grab my phone and turn on some music. I will make some food before fight training today. Since today's the last day of fight raining I have to be there for orientation and be a extra for the newbies, who arrive today. I grab my lunch pail and fill it with protein bars, and water, with a little treat of propel water. I zip it up and leave it on my coffee table. I rush to my room and change.
My room is all white, I wish I could decorate, or paint it, but something about painting this room made me angry. I only paint when I'm angry, or hurt, or extremely happy. I have a separate room for painting, all the supplies from Ginny, just sitting in a box, with an axel and a unpainted canvas, and a balcony that overlooks the park in the middle of town.
I change into my pale pink yoga pants and matching workout bra, then white socks, and my pale pink running shoes. I go into my bathroom, and take off my glasses. My violet eyes glowing in the mirror. I replace my glasses with contacts when I train. Of course the brown colored ones to make my violet eyes brown.
I walk out of the bathroom and to my coffee table, I grab my keys, and my lunch bag. Then I go into the kitchen turning off my music, and petting the orange cat before I left. I lock my door and head outside. I stuff my keys into my lunch pail, then my phone Into the rim of my leggings. I run down the street and take a left, I run that for two miles, then take a right. It is a eight mile run to the training facility, and I run there everyday. I don't drive, it scares me, and I have been anxious. I walk into the boxy gray building and see a groups of people crowding around two people. Of course their would be competitions on the first day. I run to the group and look at the two fighting, and I burst into laughter at who it was. All the kids turn and look at me confused of my reaction. The instructor and a fucking newbie, you kidding me, the only person who can beat him is me. I walk to the equipment and set my lunch pail by the bench, along with my phone. I hear a yell and a thud, the match is over. I walk over to my instructor, he stood their smiling, gloating with his teeth that he won. The instructor looked around the room with his light blue eyes, and blonde hair, he is a strong, buff man. Which I learned I was paired with because no body wants a gay instructor, which I was fine with, because he is the best. He keeps his sexuality a secret, which I tell him can't be healthy. But it keeps the money rolling in, and by looking at him you would never think he was.
" Alright students, this is Ebony. I know what you must've thinking, why is she the one helping me teach you? Well, she beat me in a match and I just had to have her as my assistance," he yelled to the group a group of three girls started giggling, the middle blonde one eyes me and whispered to her friend, loud enough for everyone to hear,
" she's sleeping with him I bet," she whispers with a blow horn, me and my couch meet eyes,
" Hey blondie, what's your name?" He asked, stepping close, she stood there confident, like a bitch.
" Britany," she floated, of course it was, the most bitchiest name in the fucking world.
" Well, Britany your starting evaluations. Everyone will be fighting Ebony. If you win, you get to leave early. If you lose, you stay late and clean," he smiles and moves out of the way for me. I point to a ring in the corner of the room,
" I chose kickboxing," she gives me a giggle,
" Of course you do," she laughs,
" you won't be laughing when I knock that attitude out of your fucking mouth,"I said, she looked at the instructor, who was busy on his phone. she looked insecure. I'm not trying to be rude, she needs to learn that sass won't get you anywhere, and people insulting them will be normal. I step into the ring, grabbing a pair of gloves from a black haired guy, another newbie. I strapped them on, and got into position. Britany still struggling to put them on, she looked at the gloves, then at me.
" Somebody help the poor baby," I yelled, the same guy with black hair came into the ring and helped her with the gloves. Once she was good, he left the ring, and she got into position.
" Ready fight," my instructor roared, I shuffle forward, jab right, right in the eye. She fell backwards,
" Bitch, can't you go easy?" She yelled,
" Did You go easy on me, with your spreading rumor shit?" She laughed,
" So your punishing me for that...." before she c could finish I jab left hitting her in the cheek, then I twist my body side kicking her in her side, she slammed into the floor,
" No, I'm teaching you a life lesson," I snapped, she pats the floor, she's out. I laugh. Britany's friends laugh, they look at her and whisper something into each other's ears. One was a brunette, with a crooked nose and green eyes, the other a black haired girl with a bad case of acne. Of course I would never be rude about acne, It's serious. But these bitches were on my nerves.
" Hey instructor, how many people can I fight today?" I hold up two fingers behind my back, only in his eye level. He smiles,
" Three," he yells, I smile. I walk to the two friends part of the ring, I grab the brunette by the hair and drag her into the ring,
" your next," I pointed to the black haired girl, I let go of the brunettes hair, and walked to my end of the ring, " the same rules apply. You win, you leave early. You lose, you clean, just like her," I pointed to Britany who was holding her hands over her side and right eye.
The brunette puts on Britany's gloves and gets Into a fighting stance like mine, " Let's do this. I will even let you give the first couple hits," I laugh, I put my hands up and wait for her punches. She runs at me with horrible form, which means I could easily trip her. He punches me in the face, my face didn't move. Barely felt it. She cries in pain from the contact, falling to the floor. She holds her hand close to her chest, I bend to her level, " You done?" I ask, she nods, tears in her eyes. I point at Britany, " Go sit with her, black haired girl is gonna come up here," the brunette girl jumps to her feet and sprints to Britany. The black haired girl smiles, the black haired boy hand her the brunettes gloves,
" Just so you know I am a strong competitor," she laughs, I don't like her energy.
" Bring it on," I whisper, I get I to a fighting stance,
" My mother owns a kickboxing gym, I've been learning for a while since I was fi...." she talk too much I side kick her in the face then jab her once she lands on the floor, knocking her out.
"Alright, I got time for one more, who is it going to be?" I yell, I look around the room, nobody raises their hands, I point at two boys a blonde and a red head, then points at the black haired girl on the floor. " Put her by the other two girls," they pick her up and lay her by the brunette and Britany. " Alright, who's next?" I asked again, nobody speaks or raises their hands. " Ok, since nobody wants to spar with me. What lesson did the girls learn today?" I ask the group, I look around for somebody to give me the answer. Nobody does. " They learned that first, don't talk bad about the instructor, and don't ever make a friend an ebonite, that will hurt you in the field. Let's say that I let that get to me, and me and Britany were pared to go on a mission. Since she said that snarky comment, I'm gonna let her get hurt and get revenge for what she said. So, lesson learned also, the people around you are your friends, if you have a problem you will solve it in the ring, never in the field," I explain, I see nods from around the room, " Alright, evaluation will be taken away with the instructor, I have to go I got some things I need to do before I go home. See you tomorrow my lovelies," I yell, I exit the ring.
" Alright, also lesson learned don't mess with Ebony," instructor joked, everybody laughed nervously. I wave to the group and grab my lunch pail, and my phone and walk towards the front desk, which is located at the back of the building. I enter the office, the cold air hitting me slightly, I got used to it after a while.
" Ebony, honey," Lilly yelled from the back room of the office, she came out from behind the door, her gray hair in a tight bun, and a red and blue cardigan. She always wore a white T-shirt and jeans, with black flats. I loved her style, the same everyday.
" Hello lily, do you have the applicants files, I need them so I can set up a proper lesson plan," I informed, she picks up a big box off the floor, and hands it to me.
" You run here?" Lily asked, I nodded. She laughs, I take the box and leave the office,
" Till we meet again my sweet," I joke, she laughs harder as I exit the office. The instructor winked at me as I left the building.
I get outside and put the box on the floor, I open my lunch pail and down two water bottles the propel, and a couple protein bars. I then stretched a little, and picked up the box. I couldn't run with the box in my hands, so I walked. I walked around two miles before needing a small break, I don't run with weights usually so this is new for me. Note to self: start training with wrist and leg weights. A black divan pulls up next to me, The window goes down,
" Hey, need a ride?" Stefan calls to me, through the window.
" I'm good," I yell back, he looks at me then at my straining hands,
" get in," he said, I walk to his car, opening the trunk to put the box in then getting In the front.
" I'm Stefan, Stefan Salvatore," he says, driving down the road,
" Can You just drive me to the park?" I say monotone,
" sure," he says, we sit in silence for a bit. I look out the window, watching the trees and buildings go by.
" Where your from?" He asks, trying to break the silence I see.
" I'm from Arizona," I lied, he nods, taking a right. " How about you? Where are you from?" I ask, he laughs,
" I'm from here," he says, that doesn't make sense, I look at the ring on his finger. It was a magnificent ring, and I felt the magical energy leaking out of it.
" Where did you get that ring?" I asks pointing to the big ring with a blue gem on it. He looks at the ring examining it,
" Family heirloom," he says, I look at it again, there's something different about this muggle then the rest.
" It looks more than that?" I say, he looks at me, studying my face.
" You got family down here or something?" He asks, changing the subject. Noted.
" No, I live alone, with my three bulldogs that are super protective," I lie, he laughs
" Three, really?" I shake my head,
" No, I have one cat. But, he acts like an idiot, so I don't know about him. I used to have the be sat cat in the world, but I had to give him away when I moved here, he's staying with a friend," Salem popped into my mind, his little paws, and the way he was always sophisticated, such a cute little cat man.
" Really, why couldn't you bring him?" He asked, I look out the window,
" New job, new home, new school, new cat," I joke, he nods, Stefan stops at a red light. The sunset shining through the window,
" New job? What's your job?" He asked, looking at my face,
" I am a kickboxing instructor," I kinda lie, I am not just that, I am basically a spy for the government of witches and wizards.
" oh that's cool," he says, nodding. The light turns green and we arrive at the park,
" Thanks for the ride," I say, opening the door, I close the door before he could respond, and open the trunk, grabbing the box. I shut the trunk placing the box on the road, I pick it back up and walk to the building door, waving to Stefan and walking inside. I unlock the door to my apartment, and walk inside. I close the door with my foot and walk into the living room, I place the box on the coffee table. I unzip my lunch pail, and check my phone, 9:00pm. Dinner, then sleep. I go into the kitchen, checking the fridge for anything good. I grab a hot pocket and heat it up.
I grab my hot pocket and eat it on my couch, slowly. What was Stefan hiding? I will find it. I throw away the trash to my hot pocket and go to my room, I change into my gray shorts and thick white tank top. I take off my bras, and get under the white blanket, I close my eyes, and the twins enter my dream. Running and running for me, while the train keeps moving faster and faster. I hit the window trying to break it, so I can get to them, I can't. I'm gone.

Thank you so much for reading my second fanfic. 😁😘😘
