Chapter four

Rory's Point of view

"What the hell was I doing back there. It was like I was someone else!" I said screaming my thoughts to myself as I was hovering high above my house.

"How did you mess up now count dorkula?" Erica abruptly came flying up to me.

"Not that I normally don't love your creative insults Erica but I so don't need this right now." I said starting to hover away from her. Before I knew it she grabbed my shoulder and turned me around to look at her.

"Fine I'll bite." She laughed at her pun. "What's wrong short stuff? I looked up at her but when we made eye contact the next thing I knew her lips collided with mine and the same fog of lust came over me.

I used my vampire speed and grabbed her closing the space between us. She grabbed my hair and started playing with it. She suddenly ripped the shirt off my body and threw it in some direction and I did the same for her. We slowly lowered our bodies softly landing on my roof. I made quick work of taking off her bra as she pulled off my jeans. I slowly kissed my way down her stomach headed for the button of her shorts when I heard a car door slam in my driveway and my dad and mom arguing about something. I quickly shot off of Erica as my mind started to clear. I ran toward the edge of the roof and jumped off. Stopping mid air I floated into my window. I quickly shut it and locked it hiding under my covers crying for the next four hours.

Then I remembered something. I stood up and walked to my closet and grabbed the shoe box on the floor I grabbed the bag with the herbs Grandma Weir had given me, Sarah and Erica that let our bodies sleep for a little while. As soon as they touched my tongue I fell to the floor as my mind went dark.

Ethan's point of view

I honestly can't believe what just happened I'm praying that I had fallen asleep in Benny's bed and I would wake up soon but after standing here for two minutes and starting at absolutely nothing I decided that I needed to come up with an excuse go home. I couldn't be here when Benny woke up. But as soon as I finished that thought Gma Weir came outside. "Ethan come inside Benny is awake. Where did Rory go?"

I didn't even look at her before coming up with some lame excuse. "Erica needed a witness with the council and we argued about who had to go." I said knowing she'd never believe it.

"Oh well come inside I don't know how long Benny will be up for." She said not even questioning me.

"Coming as I ran to the front door and followed her into the house and upstairs to Benny's room. I slowly opened the already ajar door to where I could walk in Benny was laying there looking up at the ceiling.

"Hey dude how are you doing?" I said feeling more guilty about what I had just done earlier as soon as I saw him.

"Really tired but grandma says that if I don't do any magic I'll be back to my normal high energy self in a the next couple days. I'm surprised you stayed." The last part he almost whispered. I was more then confused as to why he'd say that last part. I walked over to the bed and sat next to him.

"Why wouldn't I stay to make sure my best friend is ok dude?" I said hoping he would clarify for me.

Not even looking at me his response was so matter of factly. "Ethan can you honestly name the last time we hung out just the two of us since you and Sarah started dating?"

"I mean we've both been a little both dating vampires." I said stressing the words both.

He started to raise his voice. "Are you trying to say that it's my fault that we're drifting apart!" He looked my dead in the eyes.

The second he did I lost control of my own body. I jumped on top of him and started attacking his lips with mine. But the next thing I knew he was throwing my body off his and I was falling off his bed. I stood up but was knocked back onto the ground when Benny's fist hit my cheek. "What the hell was that Ethan!" He yelled at me.

"Iiii don't know." I stammered out. "Why is this happen to me Rory probably already hates me." I said saying my thoughts out loud looking at the ground.

He looked at me with fury. "What do you mean by that?" He asked

"Something may have happened with me and him." I said the words so fast they slammed into each other coming out of my mouth. I looked up at him. When I did the same thing happened I sarted to walk toward him but instead of of just a kiss I wanted more I reached my hand out and started to reach for the waist band of the shorts he was wearing. Instead of pushing me he just yelled. "Awayz to homa." Next thing I knew lights surrounded me and I appeared on my front porch.

Point of view- Benny

Why would Ethan do that and what was he talking about with Rory. I went to reach for my phone to call Rory needing more information when I saw Grandma at leaning on my door frame. "Benny I need to talk to you before you talk to Rory." She said with something that almost looked like fear on her face.

"Sure Grandma what's up."

She came down and sat next to me and handed me a vile of something. "First of all take this I'm shocked you're still conscious after you just cast that spell." I held the bottle up to my nose and breathed it in. "Next this is going to be difficult to explain since I don't know how yet. But the balance between good and evil has shifted greatly. When I went downstairs after I left you and Ethan I was sitting in the kitchen when I felt a great pain in my head and suddenly my body went limp. I felt the forces of nature of which I draw my powers from suddenly becoming almost completely drained. As soon as I got some of my energy back I ran up here and heard the last part of your argument. Benny something happened between Rory and Ethan outside and I think it has something to do with what's happening to my powers."

Tears started to stain my face as I heard what she had said. She had just told me to much for me to process. I looked back up at her to yell at her but everything was blurry. I remembered there was something important I had to tell Grandma though I remember whispering to her right before I passed out. "Derek and Damon are back."
