Chapter 2 The Cold Ones

'Elena's day had been going well; her new sister, Rebekah, wanted to spend time with her.

So that is exactly what they did, walking through their little village as they talked.

But then, they met 'them' Elena was already aware of how to tell who was and was not a cold one, her suspicions were confirmed by Rebekah standing ever so slightly in front of her.

"What do 'you' want?" Rebekah growled out.

The two Cold Ones smirked a little.

"Just wanted to see if the gypsy blood whore was still alive, looks like she is." Edward sneered.

Elena gasps as the male Cold One suddenly disappears from her sight.'

Kol was in front of her a deadly look on his face.

Keep away from my wife he snarled or I will rip you to shreds.

He snarled the pupil in his brown eyes was red and his fangs glowed.

Edward laughed is that why you married her? He asked sadistically is she a gypsy whore only good for spreading her legs.

'Kol had never felt such rage burning through him, they dared to insult his wife and act as though they are the better vampire breed.

Kol soon did not have his brothers protecting Elena, nor had he ever saw his sister to look so deadly.'

'Elijah could see just how out of control this could become, any other time he wouldn't hesitate to fight the Cold Ones, but his new sister was far too close.

He had to try to bring this to a stop, even if it is just long enough to get Elena a safe distance away.

"You two are out numbered here, perhaps it would be more reasonable and beneficial to you to leave.

Now." Elijah spoke as calmly as his anger could allow him to.

The two Cold Ones simply sneered.

"Yes, of course you would say that. Want to drain the little whore before anyone else gets the chance." Alice sneered.

Rebekah lunges forward, her hand taking hold of the Alice's throat.

"You want to repeat that you little bitch?" Rebekah growls.

"Sister, release her. You have no idea where that 'thing' has been." Klaus said with boredom.

Rebekah looks down at Alice in pure disgust before shoving Alice away from her; the force of Rebekah's strength sends Alice crashing into a tree. Her brothers laugh while Rebecca smirks but Elena is looking increasingly worried.'

"Kol, Elena said touching his arm softly do not worry husband do not fall down to their level".

She ended taking his hand in her own.

Alice grabbed Elena before any of them could react and had her throat in a tight choking grip.

Kol snarled "LET HER GO SHE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS". He yelled fear showing in his brown eyes for Elena.

Edward walked lazily towards Elena placing an icy hand across her face, "you know for a gypsy you are very beautiful almost… like The Princess". He finished lazily.

Kol froze fear flashing in his eyes if they found out that Elena was the princess they would kill her.

Over his dead body he thought violently.

Elena kept her gaze on Kol who was quietly walking up behind Edward a hand on his lips warning her to be quiet.

Elena had never been so afraid not for herself but for Kol her husband.

'The tension was thick, Elena watched in silence as Kol came closer to Edward, her fear was growing.

The smirk that came to Edward's lips had Elena mentally scolding herself, the frantic beating of her heart was sure to be teasing all the vampires. Kol needed to get the Cold One away from his wife and fast.'

'It happened to fast for Elena to truly understand what had happened, all she knew was that one moment she was in the clutches of a Cold One and the next she was next to Rebekah again.

What Elena did see though was her husband and the Cold One in a fight, jaws snapping and snarling.

She couldn't see who was taking what punches, until Kol was sent flying into Finn and Elijah.

Klaus snarled and was on the verge of attacking himself, but Rebekah held him back.

"No, Klaus. This is Kol's fight, not yours, not unless he asks." Rebekah told her older brother firmly.'

'Rebekah watched with growing anger as the male Cold One continued his assault on her brother, she could practically feel the burning desire from her three remaining brothers to get into the fight.

Though Rebekah had her eyes on the pixie Cold One, there was something about these two vampires that was bothering her.

Whenever Kol attacked, this 'Edward' would move out of the way, like he somehow knew it was coming. Surely that couldn't be right.

The smug smirk on the female's face sent Rebecca over the edge.

"Finn, make sure our sister is safe." Rebekah spoke to her brother, the three of them looked at Rebekah confused, but their confusion didn't last long when Rebekah shot in front of the remaining Cold One and threw a punch.'

Elena suddenly realized why the male cold one was avoiding Kol's punches.

"Rebekah" she yelled from where her brother in laws held her from danger.

"SHES A SEER SHE CAN SEE WHAT MOVES YOU CAN DO"!.

Keeping this in mind Rebekah punched Alice so hard she collapsed into a tree and did not get up again.

"Don't ever insult my sister again" she spat kicking Alice in the ribs.

Elena cheered pride and affection going through her.

The male cold one let out a scream of fury and charged at Rebekah but Kol grabbed him by the neck and threw him into a near by tree.

Elena smiled at Kol affection in her face but a look of fear flashed across her face.

"KOL LOOK OUT"! She screamed and Kol narrowly missed getting his throat torn out.

'As the intensity of the fight between her husband and the Cold One grows, Elena can't stop flinching from the sound of each blow from their fists and attempted to shield herself from the sounds by trying to sink into her new brother Klaus for protection.

Elena found herself wondering how much longer this was going to continue for, until the worse happens.

It happened in slow motion, Kol and the Edward locked in some kind of wrestling match, until Edward throws Kol off of him, Elena watches her husband quickly recovering from the force of the push and charges back into another round with Edward.

She sees it before Kol does, a flash of something, a sword.

"KOL!" Elena screamed out, but it was too late, the sound of Kol screaming out in excruciating pain felt like Elena had also been stabbed.

Kol collapses onto the floor, withering in agony.

"VERVAIN!" Klaus shouted in anger.

Klaus, Elena and Elijah rush to Kol's side. Finn, on the other hand, snarls in anger before taking over for his brother and attacking Edward.

Finn's surprise attack was enough to get Edward to drop the sword he had been hiding, Klaus, seeing the sword, rushes forward to take hold of it.

Not wanting another one of his siblings to suffer its poisonous blow.

"Rebekah! Enough! We need to help Kol." Elijah ordered his sister.

At the sound of her brother's cry, Rebecca had become more deadly in her attacks on Alice, but Elijah's words tell her how serious her brother's injury is. Rebecca sends Alice into yet another tree, the latter now looking worse for wear and stays where she is.

"Don't think we're done here whore. You'll pay for this, both of you." Rebekah growled before rushing to Kol's side.'

Elena hurried to her husband's side his breathing laboured clutching his stomach in pain Elena and Finn tear the shirt off him and Elena tears his shirt in half and puts it across the middle of his chest.

"Kol it's going to be alright" he hears the angelic voice of his wife saying reassuring words.

Elena smoothed back Kol's dark brown hair away and turned to where his siblings were standing.

"We need to get him home so I can take care of his wounds quicker" she told Elijah and he nodded in understanding.

With help from Rebekah and Klaus they managed to get him on his horse.

'Elena threw open the front door to the home she and Kol shared, Klaus and Elijah carrying her husband in and all the way to the bedroom and placing him on to the bed.

Rebekah had been hot on their heels, before catching sight of Elena and her terrified state and hurrying to her new sister's side.

"Elena, look at me." Rebekah spoke to her softly but firmly. Elena looked to Rebekah, feeling as though her heart had just been forced into her throat.

"Everything will be OK, we can heal him. I promise." Rebekah told her sister gently. Elena can only nod, not sure if she can take comfort in her sister's words.

"He needs blood." Klaus suddenly spoke from the doorway, gaining the eyes of his sisters.

His eyes rest mostly on Elena and looking guilty, Rebecca realize what her brother is getting at.

"Klaus. NO! The amount Kol will need to fully heal could kill her; we can not ask Kol or Elena to take part in that." Rebecca spoke shocked.

"We have no choice or time to be picky here, sister. Kol needs blood and he needs it now." Klaus told Rebecca with desperation and pain in his voice, he wasn't exactly a fan of this idea either.

But their options were limited with even less time on their side.

"Perhaps this had been the Cold Ones plan, to injury one of so to such an extreme they would be forced to drink from Elena and kill her." Klaus wondered aloud.

Rebecca scoffs.

"Not everything and everyone is out to get us brother, perhaps this was a result they did not count on." Rebecca countered.

"That bastard had a sword drenched in vervain, sister. That was planned, all of it." Klaus snapped in anger.

Before either of them could speak, Finn entered the house along with their parents. Michael looking ready to kill anyone who says one wrong word to him.

"What happened?" He demanded.

"The Cold Ones, father. They were unkind to Elena, Elijah tried to defuse the situation, but the Cold Ones responded by attacking Elena.

Now Kol lies injured with a wound that has vervain poisoning his body." Klaus spoke quickly, his own anger growing.

Esther gasped in horror, while her husband turned a table over in his anger.

"Mikael!" Esther gasped.

"I shall do it. I shall give Kol my blood." Elena spoke firmly.

"NO!" A painful cry came from their bedroom, Elena and the rest of the Mikaelson family rushed in to find Kol in a weak attempt to get to his feet.

"I will not...drink from...you." Kol gasped out.'

"I refuse to let you die Kol" she said passionately and pulled a knife from a table and held it at her wrist.

"We will leave" Esther told her new daughter kindly and with hug from them all they were gone.

Elena laid Kol gently down on their bed and asked quietly.

"Where is the best drinking point?" She asked.

Kol stared at her and sighed the neck he gasped out.

Elena smiled at him gently "I trust you Kol".

'Elena helped her husband to sit up a little, while Kol was cursing and fearing what he was about to do.

He could hear his wife telling him over and over that she trusted him, before finally closing his eyes and biting down on his wife's neck.

Elena couldn't stop the gasp of pain that came from her as Kol bit down; she instantly felt the effects of Kol drinking from her take hold.

The moment his wife's blood touched his tongue, Kol could feel the effects of it straight away.

With each drop he drank, he found his strength was returning, feel the sting as his wound healed.

Kol couldn't stop the need for more blood rushing through him, which is why he couldn't stop himself from wrapping his arms around Elena's body and bringing her closer to him.'

'When Kol was finally able to pull away it was for him to learn, much to his horror, that he had weakened Elena greatly.

Her whole body slumped forwards into his, sending Kol into a state of panic.

"FATHER!" Kol screamed out as he laid Elena onto their bed carefully and began stroking her hair away from her eyes.

His family burst into the room and quickly realize why Kol is panicking.

They find his hand fixed to Elena's neck, even though there was no blood coming from the puncture wounds, they knew it was the act of man feeling horrified by his own actions.

Esther and Rebekah move forward, Elena's blood had gotten onto her dress and therefore needed to be gotten rid of.

"My son, allow your sister and I to tend to Elena. Go with your father and brothers." Esther told him in a soft soothing voice.

Kol began to shake his head 'no' his mind racing, what if he had actually killed her and these were her last moments?'

'In the end it took Elijah and Finn helping their brother out of the bedroom to allow Esther and Rebekah to clean Elena up, which felt like it was taking the span of a human life to Kol, all he wanted to do was go to his wife.

Hold her in his arms and beg for her forgiveness, eventually Esther and Rebekah stepped out of the bedroom.

Their faces giving nothing away. Kol leaped to his feet.

"Is she...?" Kol could not bring himself to finish the question.

"Elena will be alright, my son. You can be with her now." Esther told her son, who didn't waste any time getting to his wife.

Esther looks to her husband before looking to each of their children.

Neither of them knew how long it would take until Elena would be healthy again, but they anticipated it to a while.

Just like they knew that it will be some time before Kol leaves his wife's side.'

Kol shut the bedroom door behind him and hurried to Elena's side.

Elena was resting in the bed her colour had returned to her face and she smiled at him softly.

"Kol I am so glad to see you are better husband she said taking his hand in her own".

"Forgive me Elena he said tears in his brown eyes I am so sorry for what I did".

Elena took his face in her hands "listen to me Kol you did not hurt me I gave you my blood because I love you and that you would heal".

Kol looked deeply into her brown eyes and said softly said "I love you too".

Kol kissed her softly pulling her towards their kiss showing them how much they loved each other.

"Kol Elena said passionately make love to me".

'Kol froze, pulling away slightly and looking at her in panic.

Was she even strong enough? Elena seemed to have instinctively known what was running through his mind as she smiles softly to him.

"I'm not going to break, Kol.

Besides, we could just go as slow as we did on our wedding night." She told her husband lovingly.

"I seem to remember us not going very slow at all." Kol growled huskily.

"We are still here you know, brother." Rebekah's disgusted voice came from the other side of the door.'

"Then by all means sister leave" Kol responded and gave Elena a tender kiss and as their lips met Kol's fangs came out.

Elena ran a hand through his dark brown locks as Kol began to pull at her dress.

Elena helped Kol out of his shirt and he turned her around so that he could undo the strings to her dress.

'Kol makes quick work of removing his wife's night dress and throwing it away as though it too had insulted her, his shirt soon followed.

Kol closes his eyes at the feel of Elena's hands gently caressing his healed stomach; it felt to Kol as though she was attempted to sculpture him.

His vampire nature came to surface as he began to purr at the feeling, Elena couldn't stop the giggle that took hold of her at the sound.

"Are you laughing at me, my love?" Kol growled playfully.

Elena tries to control, but the playful wounded look on Kol's face has her laughing, that is until Kol starts kissing her neck.

A rather loud moan breaks from her lips, allowing Kol to chuckle.

"Not so funny is it now my love." Kol whispered seductively.'

'Kol continued his assault on his wife's neck, her naked body already withering under him in pleasure.

"Kol, you are not being fair." Elena managed to moan out.

Kol stops his assault on her neck and looks at her, confused.

"I am curious as to how I being unfair my love." Kol asked her, genuinely curious.

"I am naked and you are not." Elena replied pouting.

Kol raises himself some more and looks down before looking back to her.

"That is going to have to change." Kol told his wife.'

'Kol got off the bed and stood to the side before promptly removing the rest of his clothing, or rather took off his leather trousers, it was a ego boost to see his wife's desire for him grow at the sight of him standing there before her completely.

Course, seeing his wife naked had the same effect, climbing back into bed Kol wasted no time in taking hold of his wife's lips and kissing as though he'd never laid eyes on a woman before.

He came so close to loosing her and it would have been his fault.

The thought made him sick, but the feeling of her warm body under him kept Kol's fears under control.

His arms wrap themselves around her body like human chains, never wanting to let go of her.'

'Elena knew that what had happened today, more accurately Kol having to feed from her had shook him up a great deal and now she was experience just how much.

Kol's hands kept themselves interlocked behind her back, while Elena's were interlocked at the back of his neck, she felt his hips frequently push into hers but he seemed to be too terrified to do anything more with more.

Does Kol think he will kill me by making love to me? Elena thought to herself.

She had to do something to show Kol that she would not be so easily taken away from him.'

'Elena moves her hands so they come to Kol's shoulders and moved them down teasingly his stomach before moving them and wrap her hands around his waste.

Kol, taken over by growing pleasure and desire, eases his hold slightly on Elena, but it wasn't taking away the fear completely.

Kol mentally cursed the Cold Ones again for what felt like the billionth time.

The slight lax of Kol's grip was enough for Elena to follow through on the next part of her plan and the plan was simple, grinding her hips against Kol's slowly was all she needed to be able to break her legs off his.

Seemed that Kol was determined to keep her prisoner, not that she was complaining, but none the less Elena was now able to wrap her legs around Kol's waist as she returned her hands to their original position at his neck.

"Kol, you can make love to me. I will still be here." Elena whispered lovingly in his ear.'

'Kol pulled back from the assault he was still doing to her neck, Elena saw the fear it was ironic that not too long ago that it was her with the fear, she brings a hand to caress his face.

Her eyes filled love and understanding.

"It is OK, my husband." Elena whispered softly before kissing him.

Try as he might to not follow through with his body's desires, Kol gave in and buried himself deep inside his wife.

Their collective moans echoing off of the walls of their bedroom.

"We shall just go then." Klaus said from the other side of the door.

Kol yanks his lips from his wife.

"YES!"'

'Elena giggled at the anger her husband was feeling to their brother, before kissing Kol's neck and effectively distracting him from Klaus.

Kol turns back to Elena and smiles before kissing her again.'

'The couple soon lost themselves in each other with each kiss and caressing of flesh against flesh.

After several more kisses, Kol begins to move inside his precious wife, desperate to show her just how much he love her.

Needs her.'

'Aside from their breathing, Kol could hear his name being whispered in his ear as Elena came close to her climax.

Though the anger that still burned inside of him wanted Kol to give into the possessive side of him, Kol kept himself under control.

There was plenty of time for that, preferably when Elena has fully recovered from his actions.'

'Kol found himself to be in a state of peace as he lay in bed, holding Elena in his arms.

Something that had almost been taken from him and it was something that he would never dare risk happening again.

The Cold Ones had to be stopped, one way or another though Kol had to admit the idea of killing them was very appealing to him right now.

A desire that grows every time he blinks and sees Elena weak and bleeding in his arms, he wasn't about to let her be put in harms way again.'
