Kol & Freya
They were sitting by a window, and reading "The Garden of Eden" by Ernest Hermingway together. It'd been a week since everything went down; the trial, Marcel becoming a beast, Elijah and Kol getting bit, Freya poisoned. They were spending their days doing what they would've if everything was different. They were living like a normal, happy family. But, there was a void missing in the family. One that couldn't be filled no matter how much chess they played or how many books they read.
Kol looked up from his book, meeting Freya's green eyes. They stared for a minute, before he opened his mouth.
"Was this what you imagined?" Kol asked. "A happy life, with no regrets and no betrayals from your own family?"
Biting her lip, Freya tilted her head back down into the book as remorseful as she were. She could feel the tension between them. Sacrificing Davina was something that she'd never see herself doing, not in a millennium. "Look, Kol, I…" she replied. "I'm sorry about Davina. But there was no other way. If I hadn't gotten the Ancestors' power, Klaus, Hayley, Rebekah, all of them would be dead right now. I have fought a thousand years for this family. I'm not about to lose any of you."
By now, Kol was standing up in frustration. "No other way?" As he threw the books onto the floor, Freya was startled and jumped to her feet. "Keep telling yourself that, because that's just what all of you do isn't it? You and Elijah can keep telling yourself that there was no other way to save your precious little family."
As she frowned, she looked down on herself. She was ashamed of what she'd done, and that was something that would haunt her for a while. "Well, what do you want me to do now?"
Kol threw his hands up in the air, as if it weren't obvious. "I wish that my bloody girlfriend was in here, instead of the sister I never wanted and the siblings that never cared about me!"
"The Ancestral Plane is gone, Kol. There is no going back."
"Right, the plane is gone so that Vincent and his pathetic covens could be free of the ancestors. I wish that the plane was still here, so that you lot can burn in hell."
Freya bit her lip, it was no use. Kol needed time to accept the fact that Davina was dead and that she couldn't be resurrected. Moments passed by in the awkward silence and she tried to find some words to say.
"Now brother," a voice said. They all turned their heads to see Rebekah in the doorway. "Davina was my friend as well, but that doesn't mean that I hate Freya and Elijah for it."
"Right, Davina was a friend to you, even though you betrayed her to resurrect our dear mother, instead of me." Kol laughed at her statement and sighed. " The trait runs in our family, doesn't it? Betray your friends and all of your loved ones, even your own brother. No wonder Marcel hates all of you."
Rebekah looked down in embarrassment, as she walked closer. "Kol, you know that no matter what happens, I will always stand by you. Regardless of whatever harm is caused, our family does it out of one intention – to save our own family. We made a vow, always and forever. No matter how many times we have betrayed each other, we stand together."
"But don't you see how much it has damaged our family?" He screams in frustration. Pointing at Freya, "She sacrificed the love of my life to save all of you and betrayed her promise that she made!"
"Kol…."
"Enough! Niklaus is suffering with Tunde's blade because he was forced to save you lot! We are not a family that is together, sister. Niklaus is now suffering endless torment just because of us!" With that, he walked away.
Freya's guilty eyes met Rebekah's. Neither of them wanted the family to be so divided, but they both realised that they weren't a family that was together anymore. Freya and Elijah were so desperate on the always and forever vow, that they'd do anything. On the other hand, Niklaus, Kol and Rebekah were individuals who led to have a life of their own. They were a fractured family.
