Jeremy and Kol are probably my favorite ship on TVD. Oddly, I first got into it when I was annoyed that they never went into what happened between them in Denver. And I honestly think that Kol cared for Jeremy, the look on his face when he was looking at the picture of Elena and Jeremy. Finally, I can't believe that they killed Kol, what is the point of an Originals spin-off when only two of them are going to be on it. Also, I'm really angry that they killed him after he finally got his own actual storyline, and they began broadening on his character!

Okay, now that the rant is done. This takes place in season four, right at the beginning of it. I don't know how much I'll be following the plot (Kol dying definitely won't be happening). The animosity between Kol and Damon will remain, as well as some between Kol and Elena, though the both grudgingly put up with each other. Also, just so it is explicit, Jeremy and Kol are already together, and everyone knows. There will be flashbacks to how they met and got together later on.

Jeremy paced back and forth while Stefan and Damon were with Elena upstairs. They told him that it might not be a good idea for Jeremy to be there when Elena fully awakened since her first impulse would be to find blood. Kol had said it was probably a good idea, and that he would stay down here with them.

"Stop pacing love, you're going to wear a hole inside your rather expensive floor."

Kol was acting completely opposite from his boyfriend, he was calm and seemingly without a care in the world. He was sitting on the couch, carving a design into a wooden stake, a trait he picked up from his father.

"Yeah well, it's not your sister up there."

"I wouldn't be acting like if it was my sister, honestly I can't see why you're so worried, it's not like anything will change. Elena's emotions will heightened, so congrats, she'll be even whinier and more Mary Sue than usual."

"I know you don't like Elena, but she's my sister so could you please not insult her!" Jeremy practically yelled.

Kol was suddenly standing right in front of Jeremy, moving so quickly that Jeremy was still taking a step, resulting in him walking right into Kol, who immediately wrapped is arms around Jeremy.

"Sorry, sorry," Kol sighed, "It's just I've been a vampire for over 1,000 years love, I've turned hundreds, maybe thousands of people, I don't see it as all that big of a deal."

Jeremy sighed, wrapping his arms around Kol, when a question came back to his mind, one he'd been meaning to ask every since he saw Kol try to kill Damon.

"Why do you do it?"

"Do what?" Kol asked, looking confused.

"Treat me so much better than everyone than everyone else, you're always so condescending to everyone, except me."

"That's easy, because everyone else isn't you."

Jeremy looked to Kol's face to see him smiling, causing Jeremy to smile in return. Suddenly, Kol tensed and looked upstairs.

"What is it?"

"Elena's waking up again, and judging from the rate of her heart, I'm betting that it's for good this time."

Kol let go of Jeremy and went upstairs, promising to be back quickly.

Kol entered the room just as Elena regained awareness.

"Well, well," He said with the sharp smirk he always wore when talking to nearly everyone, "Look whose finally come back to the land of the non-living."

"What, what are you talking about?" Elena asked, confusion evident in her eyes.

Kol looked to Damon and Stefan, who were glaring at him.

"What," Kol asked with mock innocence; "You mean you have yet to tell her that she had a bit more than a bump on her head after her little meeting with my sister?"

Damon looked like he was about to say something, when Elena interrupted by asking what the hell Kol was talking about.

"Your injuries were more severe than Dr. Fell originally told us. You had a cerebral hemorrhage, so she gave you vampire blood to heal you. When Rebekah appeared on the bridge and forced you into the river, you told me to save Matt first, you wouldn't even let me take both of you, so I took Matt first, and between the time it took to go up, and come back down…" Stefan looked like he was about to choke.

"Oh allow me," Kol said smiling, "While he was busy saving the human, the water that filtered into his truck drowned you, well, to death." Kol finished as if announcing it was the best news in the world.

"Wait, wait, wait. I'm, I'm a, a"

"A vampire, yes. Come on Elena, say it with me, VAMPIRE."

"Seriously, what is with you?" Damon finally asked, very obviously angry.

"I don't like Elena, I thought I made that very obvious after she and you tried to commit genocide and completely and completely wipe out the vampiric race through the destruction of me an my siblings. Besides, I don't understand what you're all so angry about. Think about it, Elena's a vampire, no more having to fight for her while she cowers in the background begging people to die for her and then feeling guilty when they do," He looked at Elena, "You can finally defend yourself, and the people you care for."

"Yeah, but I don't want to be a vampire, I want to be human, grow old, fall in love, have a family one day."

"You were never human Elena, you were always the doppelgänger, you'd never have a normal life. Any chance of normalcy for you or your family disappeared the moment Niklaus discovered that your blood was the key to creating his thrice damned hybrids."

Kol let that sink in for a moment, before continuing.

"Now then, I've made my pitch, now I suggest you feed her some blood soon, the twenty-four hour limit is a little finicky for some people, just look at Bill Forbes."

Kol turned to leave, before stopping and turning around at the ridiculous comment that just came out of Stefan's mouth.

"Bonnie's going to try to reverse the process, make you human again."

Kol locked eyes with Damon for a second, Kol looking incredulous, Damon looking angry. Kol just laughed before heading downstairs, while Damon proceeded to tell them how stupid that statement was.

"How is she?" Jeremy asked as Kol came down the stairs, "I heard a bit of a yelling match."

"I try to lighten the mood, and everyone yells. She is in trouble though, Stefan is trying to convince her that there is a way to reverse the process and make her human again, since she's not all vampire yet."

"Is there?" Jeremy asked, dangerous hope entering his eyes.

"NO!" Jeremy flinched at that.

"Sorry, but no, there is no way to reverse it, once you've begun transition, you have two options, you can either become a vampire, or become what you would have been if there was no vampire blood in your system when you died; a corpse. There is no way to throw this boat in reverse. I know, I saw the vampirism ritual on the grimoire mother stole from the witch Ayana, but Elena will believe there is a way, all because she wants it so badly. She should know by now that just because you want something back, doesn't mean it's going to."

At those words, Jeremy figured out why Kol was acting even more abrasive than usual.

"All this talk about Elena, I never asked about how you're doing. I may have hated him, but Klaus was still your brother, are you okay?"

"Klaus," Kol paused for a second, "Klaus deserved his fate many times over, but still. My family has a rule; only we are allowed to deal with each other. It's insulting, having our traitorous bitch of a mother's play toy kill him, when he was incapacitated of all times. Nik killed," Kol kept the tears from forming in his eyes, he was an Original, he did not cry.

"I'm going out for a bit, wanna come?"

"I think that I'll stay to try and help Elena, if that's okay?"

"Of course it's okay love, she's your sister. I just find her current attitude depressing, and if a sister is going to be depressing it might as well be mine, I think I'll go check on Rebekah."

As Kol stood outside, staring at the woods he used to play in over a millennium ago, he noticed Damon leaving Elena's house.

'Where is he going?' Kol thought to himself. A well, it didn't really matter.

Once Kol walked up to Klaus' place, he heard fighting going on inside. He sped in just in time to see Damon try to drive the white oak stake through Rebekah's heart, only to have her beat him with the back of her hand and send the stake flying. Kol ran to the stake and grabbed it before Damon could get it.

"Now now Damon, this is not a very nice way to treat your neighbors." Kol said angrily, "We were all getting all so well."

Kol grabbed the pointed end of the stake, wielding it like a club and bashed it into Damon's head, sending him flying into the wall.

"You snapped Jeremy's neck, thinking that you would permanently kill him," Kol said as he switched his hold on the stake, holding it properly, "I doubt he'll be angry very long if I put you down."

Just as Kol was about to plunge the stake into Damon, while Rebekah watched with a smug look on her face, Kol sensed something just outside the window.

Kol barely had time to dodge as the window exploded, and several wooden arrows came flying through, Damon was already on the ground, and therefore not hit. Rebekah however got hit right in the chest.

Kol watched as the necrosis started to spread throughout her body, and moved to help her. However, just then town deputies walked up and started shooting wooden stakes from shotguns at him. One of the grazed his shoulder, causing Kol to scream out in annoyance, before following Damon, who had run out the second the window exploded.

Once outside, Kol called Jeremy.

"Kol," Jeremy sounded shaken, "Are you all right?"

"Why would you assume I wasn't?" Kol asked suspiciously.

"Members of the town council came by here, they took Stefan and Elena."

"I'll be by soon, oh an by the way how much do you care if Damon becomes a corpse?"

"Why?"

"Because I'm seriously considering making him one." Kol answered savagely while staring at the young vampire.

"Please don't, we need him."

Kol sighed, the things he did, or rather didn't do, for Jeremy.

"See you soon, love you."

"Love you too Kol, stay safe."

Kol actually laughed, "What could possibly hurt me?"

"They could have stolen the daggers."

Kol paused for a second, "Point taken, see you soon."

"See ya," Jeremy said before hanging up the phone.

Kol looked at Damon, "I take it you heard that."

"Yes," Damon said rather rudely.

"So it seems we have similar goals all of a sudden. They have my sister, and they have Elena. Rebekah will be pretty much fine, though they'll probably be putting copious of amounts of vervain into her to prevent her from ripping them all apart, but Elena, now there's a problem. Either the town council will not know that she's in transition, so they'll keep a close eye on her, thinking that she is a human who has sided with vampires, so she won't be able to get any blood, or they'll assume she's one of them, and lock her wherever they have the other vampires, where she definitely won't be able to get any blood. Either way things don't look good for her. Now since the only reason you're not dead is, ironically, because I tried to kill you, it's pretty obvious that you need me if you want to save your brother and his semi-also-your girlfriend. To that end, what do you say we deal with this," Kol held up the white oak stake, "later, and deal with this annoying little group of wannabe badasses, shall we?"

Damon cocked is head to the side for a moment, as if actually having to think about it.

"Fine," He replied "But it really doesn't matter if we have no idea where they are."

"That's easily dealt with. If the council has been informed of everything, then they are aware that the founding families spend more time helping vampires than hunting them. Guaranteed that they've already gone against them. So, they'll probably be more than willing to help us, and they will know everything about the locations around here, including where the council could possibly have a vampire prison, so I promised I'd meet with Jeremy, so why don't we go."

Not waiting for an answer, Kol started towards the Gilbert house, with Damon grudgingly following.

They had no need to track down their human aid; everyone was already waiting at the Gilbert house. When Matt showed up, Damon tried to kill him out of anger, or spite. Kol couldn't really tell the difference.

'He's like some strange combination of me and Nik,' Kol thought to himself while everyone tried to get Damon to calm down.

Once he had, Kol decided to get right to business.

"Where are they? I know at least one of you know. Come on, think, it would be somewhere remote enough so that no one would be able to hear any screaming. Somewhere big enough that they'll be able to create the prison needed. Holding vampires isn't easy, and they're holding an Original. And where is your witch? I thought Bennetts were supposed to all over vampire business?"

"We haven't been able contact Bonnie, we don't know where she is."

"The Young's farm," Dr. Fell said suddenly, "Pastor Young was the one in charge of all of this, I bet that's where they're keeping them."

"Where is it?" Damon asked.

"We've known these people our whole lives, if we tell you, you have to promise not to hurt them." Sheriff Forbes said, looking equally between Kol and Damon.

Kol walked up to her, and said, "You don't have the scent of vervain on you, none of you do so I'm betting the good pastor took all of it. I can easily compel the location out of you, now as for your plea. My policy remains the same, give me what I want, no-one gets hurt, don't, well there are a lot of humans, the world won't miss a few. Now tell me where this farm is."

Everyone flinched, before the Sheriff decided to give the information out.

"They also took Caroline, if you see her, please try to help her."

"Yeah yeah, sure sure, save two blonde Barbie vamps."

As Kol made to exist, Damon grabbed Matt, telling him that he was coming too. As Kol left he distinctly heard Dr. Fell and Jeremy talking.

"You fell in love with that?"

"He's normally better than this," Jeremy defended his boyfriend, "He's just upset over Klaus' death, and he's angry at himself for being upset, and for not being able to do anything to prevent it."

Kol smirked sadly; of course Jeremy would be able to tell. Jer could always read him like a book.

It was a bit of a drive, so they took Damon's car. Damon wanted it because he didn't want to have to drag Matt there, Kol wanted it because it was made up of good ammunition if they wanted to 'entice' the pastor into letting them pass.

'How stupid,' Kol thought, 'Challenging vampires, does this pastor honestly think that God is going to help get out of this mess he's dug himself into?'

Kol had always had a rather strong dislike for the church, they seemed hypocritical, they preached of an all-loving and all-forgiving God, and then they butchered more people than any other group, including vampires, for petty things, like having free will. They had changed over centuries sure, but still. The thing Kol hated most though was the way they demonized vampires and witches. Sure, witches were the sworn enemy of vampires, but Kol still greatly respected them, they were the servants of nature, not creatures of hell. Same with vampires in a way, they helped balance things out, killing of the human population to stop it from getting too big, they may have been predators, but they weren't demons. He was going to enjoy showing the Pastor how little aid his god could offer.

It was dark by the time they arrived.

"Elena probably doesn't have much time left," Kol noted, looking up at the stars.

Of course the probably part wasn't true, Kol could here her heartbeat from behind the house, she had minutes at the most, but he wasn't going to tell Damon that. Truth was, Kol wasn't here to save Rebekah, she was more than capable of doing that herself. In fact, she'd probably feel insulted that Kol felt that he had to free her. What he wanted was to punish these humans for actually thinking that they could hunt vampires.

"KNOCK KNOCK, ANYBODY HOME!?" Damon yelled out.

A man opened the door, the pastor judging from his appearance.

"You have no business here, I'm not going to invite you in, so leave!"

"Well, actually," Kol said, wearing a smile that Damon could only describe as predatory and menacing, "We do have business here, and I think you are going to let us in. You see, you have my sister, and his brother, and the girl the take turns dating; there's our business. And your going to let us in if you want this human here," Kol pointed to Matt, who was looking around nervously, "To live through the night."

Pastor Young seemed to realize then that not all of the trespassers were vampires.

"Matt, get out of here!"

Before Matt could even begin to respond, Damon was on him, fangs protruded, and feeding from his neck. Damon left him half-conscious laying on the ground, holding his wounded neck.

"Stop them!" The pastor yelled.

"Not again," Kol complained as he heard shotguns being loaded.

One of the stakes came flying from behind him. Without even looking, Kol reached behind him, grabbed it, then flung it back at the person who shot it, a scream sounded as the unknown human died.

Suddenly, bullets started flying through the air, probably wooden, but Kol wasn't really paying attention to what they were made of. As one went flying towards his chest, he reached is hand out. He grabbed the bullet with two of his fingers, moving his hand back towards him at the speed the bullet was moving, the brought is hand in a one-eighty downwards and back forwards, throwing the bullet back at the human with the same speed it went flying towards him, resulting in it going right through the human's heart, killing him instantly.

"Okay," Damon said as he grabbed one of the human's shotguns and then shoved the barrel of it through the human's chest, "I will grudgingly admit that, that was cool."

Kol smiled, but Damon's compliment resulted in Kol not noticing a human sneak up on him with a stake, which he shoved into Kol as he turned around.

"Seriously," Kol admonished, "You try to stake a vampire by shoving it through the vampire's chest! Have you ever heard of a rib cage, do you have any idea how much force it takes to shove a stake through the heart if you go through the rib cage? Humans way back when had to hammer them in," Kol grabbed the human, "You need to go above or below. Below isn't recommended because of how many organs you go through to get there, all of the force of the blow is gone by the time you get to the heart, so the vampire doesn't die. Above is easier, the lungs don't have all that much resistance force, they're spongy, though they are somewhat elastic. Of course, the opening on the top is smaller. Now finally, it really really helps," Kol shoved the stake downward from the side of the human's neck, right down into his hear, "If you're level of strength is far beyond that of a human."

Damon was looking around at the field of corpses, "I think that's all of them out here."

"Good, does your car have a spare tire?"

"Yeah, in the trunk, why? Hey, wait, what are you doing?" Damon yelled as Kol was suddenly standing at the trunk, opening it and taking the tire out.

"Watch and learn Damon," Kol said smugly while walking up to the car.

Kol started spinning on spot, then through the tire into the house, resulted in the door being demolished, and several screams from within.

"I once demolished a castle by doing that with boulders." Kol noted.

Suddenly, the scent of blood reached Kol's nose, it was small, but it was definitely there.

'Elena,' Kol thought.

Kol turned to Damon, only to find him walking up to Matt, and then kicking him.

The two of them exchanged words, Matt hated himself, Damon hated him too. Just as Damon was about to kill Matt, a vampiric Elena came running out from behind the house and shoved Damon off of Matt, demanding that Damon leave him alone.

"Well this is interesting," Kol said, he turned to see his sister standing right in front of her, an unreadable expression on her face.

"What is it sister?"

"He's alive."

"Matt? Yes of course he is, Elena isn't about to let the guy she died for die."

"No, he's alive."

Everyone turned to her, shock in their eyes.

"Wait, you don't mean, how?"

"He was possessing Tyler's body. He knocked over the vehicle the deputies were using to transport Caroline and I. He, he freed her and left me bound in vervain laced ropes."

"What?" The look on Rebekah's face was just depressing.

"I, I could understand you saving Jeremy over me, he's human and he actually loves you back. But Caroline is a vampire, she can defend herself, and he, he saved a girl who'll never love him over his own sister!" Rebekah screamed, tears starting to form.

Kol hugged Rebekah, waving everyone else away, which is where they thankfully went.

Kol's phone rang, it was Jeremy's ringtone.

"Hey love, is everything alright?" He answered, still holding his sister.

"No, it's not. What do you know about witches being punished for dark magic?"

"If a witch's spirit becomes tainted with dark magic, the spirits will do whatever it takes to ensure that the witch in question never uses magic again. Let me guess, Bonnie was helping Niklaus."

"Yeah, how did you know?"

"Listen, I'll come by later okay, right now Rebekah and I need to deal with some family business."

"Okay, I'll see you later," It wasn't just a parting; it was an order.

"Yes love, you will I promise."

Kol waited in the hallway while Rebekah confronted Niklaus. He was content to simply stand by while Rebekah vented her rage at him, however things started to get a little too heated. Rebekah began destroying Niklaus' only remaining bags of Elena's blood, and Niklaus' temper was flaring up.

Kol decided to intervene when Niklaus had Rebekah in a chokehold, and was two seconds away from breaking her neck.

Kol grabbed Niklaus, and threw him into the wall. He took out the white oak stake, and plunged it into Niklaus, just under the heart so that it would cause the utmost pain, but not destroy him. Smoke actually began to rise from the stake.

"My my brother, don't you clean up well, I was expecting you to be a pile of ash."

"Yes, well," Niklaus said, giving a scared smile, and panting, "I was expecting to be one, but apparently the second my spirit left my body, the fire's job was done, so it went out before my body was completely destroyed. Now if you could just remove this damned stake so we can have a civilized conversation."

"But should not the style of conversation match the style of the host dear brother," Kol slurred the word, making it sound menacing and dangerous, "And you are not civilized. You have admitted that you don't care about us; well the feeling is mutual. We disown you Niklaus, you are no family to us, bastard child." Niklaus flinched at that.

"Rebekah, do you know where Niklaus keeps the daggers?" Kol asked, turning towards his sister, who looked torn.

"Rebekah," Niklaus gasped, "Please, you swore…"

At those words, Rebekah found her resolve.

"I swore to Nik, not Klaus, and any remnants of Nik are long since gone, it's just taken me this long to realize it. Yes, I know where they are."

"Go get them."

As Rebekah sped of, Kol looked his former brother in the eye.

"Congratulations Niklaus, you now truly alone. Mikael and Esther tried to destroy you, Finn was so sickened by you he was willing to destroy all of us just to end you. You have lost Rebekah's loyalty, and mine. Once Elijah hears of how completely you have put you damned hybrids before us, you will lose his loyalty as well. The only people, who have left, are those whose loyalty you have forced, and while that may satisfy you for a few decades, eventually you will tire of it. Believe me, for centuries I compelled humans to do my bidding, compelled them to love me so much that they would murder their own family to prove it. But I know the truth now, that there is nothing like true loyalty, true devotion. And I think that the saddest part of all of this is that you don't even realize how true these words are, so they're meaningless to you right now. But you will remember them in a decade, a century, and then they will haunt you for eternity."

"I will hunt you down for this," Niklaus gasped angrily.

"With what weapon?" Kol asked, giving Niklaus a smirk that he'd always hated. One that said he knew more than Niklaus and wasn't going to tell him anything.

Suddenly, both of them looked up,

"Ah, I believe Rebekah has found those annoying little daggers. Now then, goodnight Niklaus."

With that, Kol removed the stake from Niklaus' chest, and before Niklaus could recover, Kol snapped his neck, and then ran out of the house.

Jeremy stood inside his house waiting nervously

"Jeremy, why are you so nervous, Kol's an original, he can take care of himself."

"He was going to Klaus', I know it. Klaus, who happens to have a bunch of daggers capable of downing an Original." Jeremy informed his sister sharply.

Elena walked up to Jeremy and sat beside him on the couch.

"Relax Jer, Kol promised he'd by here soon remember. You and I both know Kol is just like his brothers, he keeps his promises, plus he went with Rebekah, he'll be fine."

"Yes I will," Kol voice came from behind them, causing them both to jump, which Kol laughed at.

Kol bent over the top of the couch and kissed Jeremy on the top of the head.

"Your not going to turn into a Bella imposter are you? Worrying about your indestructible boyfriend getting offed while also willing to get into the thick of things despite being as breakable as a toothpick?" Kol asked, chuckling, which actually made Jeremy laugh.

"No don't worry, I have no desire to wind up like Bella, and how do you even know who that is?"

"I heard about some really popular books about vampires, imagine my surprise when they turn out to be sparkly wimpy little things with a complete delusional protagonist."

"By the way Elena, on the Niklaus front, I am happy to report that Rebekah destroyed the remaining bags of your human blood, resulting in hybrids officially becoming an endangered species. She would've come by to report it herself, but she is currently arranging for the daggers to be dropped into Marianas Trench, where the extreme levels of pressure will destroy any vampire that tries to get them, and incapacitate any Original, permanently."

"Well there's some good news, sort of." Elena said.

"What's with her?" Kol asked as Elena went upstairs.

"She's a vampire, she's depressed," Jeremy answered, eyeing Elena worriedly.

"She'll get over it, everyone does." Kol stated easily.

"Finn didn't," Jeremy said, looking into Kol's dark eyes, getting lost in them for a second.

"Finn was locked in a box for nine centuries, he woke up in what must've seemed like an alien world compared to what he knew. And don't forget, mother dearest manipulated him into becoming suicidal, Elena is surrounded by people who are encouraging her to continue, Finn went to someone who encouraged him to end, very different scenario." Kol said, trying to sooth Jeremy's worry.

Kol hugged Jeremy, and kissed his hair.

"I think that it's time for you to get to bed, it's going to be a long day tomorrow, training new vampires isn't easy."

"Can you stay here? Please?" Jeremy asked, somewhat desperately.

"Are you all right love, you don't usually act this desperate?"

"It's nothing, it's just,"

"Just, what?"

"I was the one who came up with the plan to get Elena out of Mystic Falls, it's my fault she was on that bridge where Rebekah could get to her, it's my fault she died, and it's my fault she's a vampire!" Jeremy exclaimed, crying.

Kol hugged him even tighter.

"No, no listen to me Jeremy," Jeremy looked up at him with tears in his eyes, "Esther was the one that corrupted Alaric Saltzman and turned him into a lunatic, Esther was the one that turned him into even more of a lunatic when she turned him into an Original, Esther was the one that sicked him on us, Esther was the one that bound his life to Elena's. The only person you need to blame for all of this is my mother, not Rebekah, not Matt. And most definitely not you!"

Kol looked up to see Elena standing in the stairway, looking sad. She caught Kol's eye, then silently thanked him. Kol subtly nodded, and Elena turned and vamp sped back to her bed, the subtle refraction of light caused by her daylight ring creating a ghostly gleam.

"Now, I believe you asking me to spend the night here?" Kol asked with mock innocence that caused Jeremy to smile sadly.

"Yeah I mean, if you want to."

"Sure,"

Kol stripped down to his boxers, with Jeremy already in bed. Making sure Jeremy was still asleep; Kol carefully took out the white oak stake, and one of the daggers that he had commandeered from Rebekah without her knowing. He carefully placed them inside a secret compartment he had discovered in Jeremy's bedside table, one probably meant for storing weapons, he was very carful not to make a sound, especially considering that Elena now had vampiric hearing.

Kol got into bed, laid down next to Jeremy, kissed the back of his head once, before going to sleep with a smile on his face.

Well, that was a long chapter, so what do you think of it?

A few points, no I don't hate religion, I just figured that Kol wouldn't like it much. On the show he said he held witches in great esteem, so he wouldn't be happy in their demonization. Also, the mentality I have for Kol here is that, while he is in love with Jeremy, is still a lot the same, especially when dealing with everyone, sarcastic, somewhat crazy. Finally, when I think of an Original's strength, I picture season 2, where Elijah healed from vervain burns in two seconds, not season 4, where Kol was killed by a vampire barely a fraction of his age, and a really bad hunter.

Finally, yes I know that some points were not exact to the show, but I haven't really figured out how much I'm going to follow the plot just yet
