Chapter Eleven
With tears in her eyes Ebony put down her pen and paper wondering what to do now, she felt better now that she had written what she felt down as a warning to others yet it did not dull the ache of her heart.
For what seemed like hours she lay away staring at the ceiling until she finally succumbed to sleep and drifted into a haunted dream.
She felt herself gliding around the floor in Mega's arms with him whispering sweet nothings in her ear reminding her that she was loved once.
In those moments of the dream things seemed perfect until she felt him push something cold into her hand and moved back.
"Please do not leave me again", Ebony begged for the first time in her life, "I do not want to loose you".
"You'll never loose me; I'll never be lost to you if you love me. You'll find your way", Mega's voice sounded in her head as she awoke with a start.
Desperately she looked around anxiously, hoping to see something which would lead her to believe that the voice was real.
That voice had seemed to bring her out of her dream like a real voice had yet there was no one around. An eerie silence crept over the hospital ward as she felt her skin tingling, alerting her to the danger that was lurking around.
There was no sound at all and that was not right for a hospital, there were no nurses, there were no other patience anymore.
Ebony realised that Ram had set it up with way.
He had obviously paid for everyone to leave … or killed them. That meant that something was about to go very wrong fro Ebony, but only if she let it.
The weakness which had once ran her life no longer hounded her the way that it once had, no now she was stronger as she felt that she had nothing to loose any longer. She had touched paradise and in loosing it she had lost everything.
Ram was going to pay.
She heard the swish of the curtains moving and knew that someone had entered the room, she grabbed onto the head board ready to lift herself up and kick him but as she did so her pillow moved slightly and she felt the cool metal from her dream once again brush against her finger tips.
Her fingers closed around the familiar object as she realised that it was Mega's knife, she was not sure what was going on but she knew that that was a good sign.
"Show yourself", she ordered.
"Guess you are stronger than Ram ever thought", a voice said turning on a flash lift and directing it at Ebony.
Ebony made sure that her hand with the knife in was hidden by the pillow so that he would not see it until he was close enough to stab him yet did not hid her defiance. Instead of shielding her eyes form the glare of the light she looked straight into it and up to him.
To her disgust she saw Ram's henchman Jay.
"Jay, you filth. What was all of that poppycock that you spouted me last time about how sorry you were about all of the bad things that you had done and how you were going to make a fresh start. What did the going get tough? When the first person did not welcome you with open arms did you revert back to you were … scum", Ebony hissed her eyes blazing with distain.
"Do not make this more difficult, I'm just going to take you to Ram", Jay said without a spine.
"No you are not Jay", Ebony said, "You know I really thought that you could better yourself but I guess that I was wrong. You are jut another coward who stands by and lets the bad things happen, no wait a minute you are worse because you help them do it. I do not get you Jay I really do not. You make such a big song and dance about getting away from Ram and being loyal to Siva but the second that her back is turned you are on to Ebony. Well guess what I am going to save them a lot of heart ache".
As his rage began Jay lunged at Ebony only for Ebony to stab her knife deep into his bosom.
As the warm blood oozed over Ebony's fingers and smiled evilly as the love of destruction began to make her feel alive once again.
