Too Close for comfort
Chapter 1- The Beggining
Present
I drove down the street, finally pulling into a house. It was a plain house, not too big, everything about this town was just that, plain. Not exciting and new. Just plain. I had seen places like this before, grown up in a small town. I knocked on the door, almost bashing it in.
"Jesus, patience" said the blonde who answered the door
"Where is he?" I asked
"Who?" She asked
I pushed past her, almost knocking her over, and into the house. I stopped as soon as I saw the body, I was frozen on the spot unable to do anything but stare.
"Leave" I growled
"Excuse me" said the blonde
"Get out right now" I said threateningly, staring up at the blonde and her male companion
The blonde was about to say something when the man dragged her away, finally leaving the house. I walked closer to the body, struggling to stop myself from falling apart.
"Ava" a voice whispered
I turned around to see Klaus staring at me, his eyes wide in shock. We both didn't move, just stood there staring at each other, daring the other to move first. He finally broke the trance when he looked down at Kol's body, my eyes following his.
"There was nothing I could do" he said to me, inching forward
"Just leave, please, I need a minute" I said, holding back the tears
Klaus nodded his head and left the room, allowing me to finally break. I collapsed onto the ground, releasing a strangled cry. I crawled next to the body, just staring at it at first. He couldn't be dead, not Kol, nor her Kol. He had lived for too long to die now, but yet here his body was in front of me. I reached my hand out to his cheek, stroking it. I just sat there and wept over the charred corpse of what once was my lover.
What do you think of it? I'm going to continue but it will jump back and forth from the present to the past, allowing for some explanation about Ava's past and how she knows the Originals.
