A/N: Here is the sequel to "Creatures Lie Here"; part two out of three to this trilogy! Please, if you haven't read Creatures Lie Here yet, do so right NOW! I do not want you to be confused reading this. Anyways, enough with the chit chat, here it is now three hundred years since we've last seen Abelia!


Aragon, Spain; 1792

Abelia stared after the cloaked woman bitterly as she felt her rage intensify by the minute. The rage mostly derived from her jealousy and possible insecurity with the knowledge that the figure standing beside her is staring after the Spanish woman lustfully. Her vampire heart longed for those brown pair of eyes to be on her, even though it had often occurred in the past.

"Kol," she whispered harshly, failing to hide her hostility towards the woman ahead of them.

That figure beside her made a sound of acknowledgement, which encouraged a wave of disappointment to sweep through her being. She wanted him to wholeheartedly provide her with his undivided attention but she is in fact asking for too much.

"Are you sure you can trust this whore?" She asked.

A smug smile appeared on Kol's darkened features. He knew that he was giving the Spanish whore more attention than his raven haired lover would have liked, and it only encouraged him to lengthen this particular act.

"Antonia is a well respected member of the group of witches in her brothel." Kol explained, taking the time to beam at the female vampire.

"Since when are women in the brothel respected?" Abelia argued.

"Now, now, I didn't drag you to Spain with me to hear you complain, did I?"

Abelia turned from Kol and continued walking behind Antonia, who is pretending to ignore the conversation they are conducting. She did not like the condescending tone Kol used with her but she knew that there was nothing she could do about it. Kol is an original vampire who has a mission to fulfill and Abelia is just his aide. She knew that Kol has little patience for talk he did not want to hear about, and if she kept on defying his authority, he will lash out on her.

The pair had been roaming around various countries in Europe for the last 300 years, seeking out all the witches willing to help and provide them information about Silas, who is known to be immortal. Silas is said to have been desiccated by an ancient witch who also provided him with immortality. Kol heard from somewhere that if he is awoken, the world will be destroyed. Ever since that discovery, he has been keen to seek out information and precautions to prevent his awakening.

During their 300 years of research, they discovered that the ancient witch provided Silas the power to be immortal thinking that he loved her as she loved him too. However, she found out that he loved another and planned to use the immortality spell on his lover. Angry, the witch buried Silas in a tomb.

They haven't made much progress on their research, but they did find some witches who had been willing to provide them with connections to other more knowledgeable witches. Some had been willing to tell them how to prevent Silas from being uncovered if someone were to pursue the quest to awake him.

According to Kol, Antonia is among those who are willing.

Antonia led them through a dark, empty alley and then to the back doors of the brothel she claims to work in. A few days back, she told Kol that all the witches in her circle worked in this brothel which arises Abelia's suspicions. Abelia knew that if Antonia and her group of witches actually possessed magical power and unattainable knowledge, they wouldn't even be working in a brothel, making love with men by force.

Kol seems to hold her in high regard, which frustrates the female vampire.

"Before I lead you two any further, I ask for something in return." Antonia stood in front of the entrance as if trying to prevent them from entering.

Abelia rolled her eyes, not in shock. She knew that Antonia wanted something. No one would ever perform a favor without asking for a trade of some kind. She turned to her right and noticed that Kol expected the same as she. He knew Antonia required something from him.

"What is it that you want, witch?" He asked, not unkindly.

Antonia broke into a seductive smile as she eyed the original vampire hungrily. Abelia fingered a piece of metal sticking out of her left pocket, feeling her eyes harden on the Spanish witch. She knew what she wanted from Kol, and she is sure that Kol will give it to her just as long as she would provide him with the information he needed.

"I only want a kiss from you, vampire." Antonia replied.

"Is that all?"

Kol briefly glanced at Abelia, who decided to ignore his gaze. She didn't want him to see her anger even though he know her all too well to expect something different from her.

"It is all."

The original vampire appeared in front of Antonia in a matter of seconds, wrapping an arm around her neck and pulling her closer to him. Smirking, he closed the distance between the two and pressed his lips gently against the Spaniard's. Abelia allowed her fury to take over, a disadvantage she harnessed as a vampire, taking the opportunity to sneak up behind Antonia with her trusty dagger now in her hand.

In one swift motion, Abelia thrusted the dagger into the witch's neck. Kol is beside her instantly and suddenly, the female vampire is pressed against a nearby building as the Spanish woman fell to the ground a corpse. Abelia dropped the dagger due to Kol's overwhelming force against her.

"I swear, if I didn't love you so much, I would have ripped your heart out right now." The original vampire gritted through his teeth, allowing his frustration to show.

He stared at her with cold, angry eyes but it didn't matter to her at this moment. Her own anger and jealousy got the best of her. She did not regret her decision to kill the Spanish whore.

"I didn't want that piece of filth touching you."

"That piece of filth would have given us more details about Silas." Kol growled, slamming her against another building aggressively.

She grunted lowly at the pain that shot against her back, still unyielding to admitting her faults. It is a common occurrence that Kol grew angry and frustrated with her at either her ignorance or disagreement in logic. She usually countered it with anger, and it never worked out for the two of them. The solution for their reconciliation is usually an apology from her, since she knew Kol is too stubborn to admit he is wrong.

This time, however, she will make no apologies.

Kol growled at her for a few moments before releasing her in fury. He sighed loudly and wrapped an arm around her waist.

"We need to leave now; before the other witches find out you've killed their companion."

"I'm not afraid of whores." Abelia spat out rudely.

The original vampire wrapped his other arm around her and brought her back to their mansion with his vampire speed. This movement lasted for only a few seconds.

"They are witches, Abelia, show some respect." Kol said.

"I don't see you showing me respect, my love."

An arm wrapped around her neck, pulling her closer to him. He shook his head at her before leaning over to kiss the top of her head. She knew that he loved her with all of his heart even though he had trouble showing it every once in a while. Nevertheless, she appreciates his efforts and thus allowing herself to aggressively force her lips upon his.

Kol delightfully returned her yearning for him by pushing her into a wall with matching passion. His fingers tugged at her long, black strands of hair harshly as his lips danced with hers, endlessly meeting and parting. The female let out a soft moan of pleasure to urge him on and to let him know that she is enjoying it as much, if not, more than he is.

The two disregarded their servants as they sped towards a nearby chamber and then onto the bed inside, Kol's back against the cushion. Abelia savagely tore open the white cloth over her lover's body before biting at his lower stomach with her sharp vampire teeth. Kol hissed lowly, brushing the strands of her hair with his fingers as she gnawed at his skin.

He groaned softly when her lips trailed up his stomach, slowly up his chest and then at his neck. He wrapped a leg around her waist, letting her ravish him whatever way she pleases.

"Shit." Abelia abruptly stopped her biting on his skin and rolled off of him.

She landed beside him, clutching onto her head as she commonly does when one of her trackers wishes to contact her. Kol cursed under his breath as he glanced over at the black haired beauty beside him. He cursed the tracker for interrupting their moment and swore that he will personally kill the tracker if the message he intended to send wasn't important.

After a few moments, Abelia released her hold on her head and blinked at the original vampire.

"It's from Niklaus."

Kol rolled his eyes and cursed his brother.

"What does he want?"

"He contacted one of my trackers, asking me to join him in France."

"Tell him to sod off, why don't you?"

"I can't."

Groaning in frustration, Kol got off of the bed and left the chambers, leaving Abelia to stare helplessly at the ceiling.

"He said it was a matter of life and death."
