"Can this town get any more boring?", he asked as he stepped through a deserted room.

He didn't have to have someone in the room to be heard, his siblings could've heard him even if he was in a complete different house, not even near the Mikaelson mansion.

"Oh, Kol, everything was perfectly alright before Elijah decided to pull out the dagger of your heart too.", said Rebekah when coming downstairs.

He let out a little laugh and walked up to the fireplace, turning his back at her, before he answered her.

"Oh, Bekah, don't be foolish. Words hurt, you know?", he turned around slowly with a barely noticable smile on his lips.

It faded away as he started talking again, all serious.

"But do you know what hurts more? Getting every bone broken, twice. I guess, your friends will love this experience, April and Matt were their names, right?", he said, not showing any expression on his face as if it wasn't a big deal.

But it wasn't, not after thousands of kills.

Rebekahs face froze "Don't you even think of it, Kol, Nik will dagger you when he finds out!", she became louder, as if it would have any effect on him.

"Just as I suspected..", he mumbled and shook his head.

"You became weak, sister, hanging onto lives of mortal ones. You're ridiculous.", he said, now smirking again.

He wasn't afraid of his brother, he never was.

Why should he be?

Niklaus wanted his family to be whole, this couldn't be without Kol.

Rebekah still didn't move, she was thinking, probably.

"By the way", he started again, his face almost touching hers after he walked up to her "You're darling Matt was the one, who placed a white oak stake into our brothers heart. He killed Finn!", now Kol was the one screaming.

"What happened to your beloved 'Family above all'?", he asked in a tense tone.

Rebekah face turned from expressionless to angry.

"The doppelganger bitch made him do it!", she hissed back, making her brother smile.

A long "Oh", left his mouth, leaving his sister only more furious than she was before.

Kol backed off a little "So, our now vampire bitch is the reason.", the original said.

"She's not even relevant for Nik anymore but Matt does anything she asks for and the rest of them do too.", Rebekah said, more calmly than before.

"Then let's get her out of our way, before she comes to the idea to kill another one."

"And how do you think, this should work, Kol? Damon and Stefan are around her all the time. There is no chance you could actually get near her."

"Well, you stay with Matty-Boy while I search myself an other connection to her.", he said and looked at his sister.

"How? You and the Gilbert boy have history, aswell as the Salvatores, who's left?", she asked, seemingly not believing that he could do anything.

"Let this be my problem."

It was sunny these days, Kol hated it.

He'd been in Paris, Tokyo, Rome but he loved the simple United Kindom with it's rainy cloudy, weather.

Maybe he just liked it, because he was friends with the Tudors, especially Henry, the eighth, but it was just a maybe.

But what he liked about sunny, little Mystic Falls were the teen girls, watching him as they came out of school.

One of them was his new pet human, he forgot her name, anything with T.. Tanya or something, and another one was his sister Rebekah, who he was picking up from school.

Next to her, there was this dark haired girl with the blue eyes again, she talked to Rebekah and he couldn't resist but overhear their conversation.

"Hey, that's your brother, right?"

"Yes, Kol's my brother, the most annoying one, you shouldn't get involved with him in any way, don't even bother ignoring him. He is an absolute arse towards women."

"Oh, he didn't seem like one. He was actually very nice."

"When did you talk to him, April?"

"Oh, does that bother you? I met him at the grill last week, we didn't talk long though, he left quickly."

"Sister, you're late.", he said as they were near enough so he wouldn't have to shout.

Both girls gave him a smile, while Rebekahs was this fake one again, April seemed to enjoy smiling a lot, as she did it all the time.

Thinking back at it, she was smiling at him all the time.

Not that it would have bothered him, it was just a little.. weird.

"I'm not late.", Rebekah replied and shortly looked at April, "I was just talking to April about her history class and we're slowed down our walk.", she said in a charming way, Kol didn't really know.

Rebekah never talked with that voice before, at least not when he was around.

"Well, I'll be going then. My aunt's probably waiting.", April said quietly, but both originals heard it loud enough.

His sister gave her a hug, it was probably how girls in this century treated each other, and said goodbye before she hop on Kols new BMW.

"I'll walk you there.", Kol decided as he gave Rebekah his keys, not without warning her not to crash his new car, as he would literally kill her then, sounding joking but being scaringly serious about it.

"Uhm, okay?", April replied in a rather questioning tone but when Kol stood up from the engine bonnet, she realized he was serious with what he said.

"Uh, it's just round the corner.", she pointed out.

While Rebekah didn't seem to enjoy her brother being all gentlemanly, he just nodded "I have to get to know Mystic Falls anyway and a walk would do me good.", he just said, and gave her to understand that she should go with him now.

They weren't far away from his car, when April started to talk again but with a little "Sh" Kol cut her words.

He exactly knew Rebekah would be listening and he hated when she overheard his conversations, even though he did it all the time.

He waited until he heard his car drive away until he started talking, fully aware, that in the time he didn't look at April she stared at him.

"Sorry, darling, I hate it when people overhear what I say.", he commented his silence because they walked quite a way from the school so no one was in sight anymore.

She now looked at him, the first time directly, not that he would look another direction.

"So, how come you're friends with my sister? She's not.. the sociable type.", Kol said with a little grin on his face, that was on it most of the time.

"We've met on a party of hers, she was just nice to me.", April explained, now being the one looking in another direction, "I'm not very sociable either."

Now, even Rebekah must've noticed what his plan was.

He could easily compell this girl to be head over heels for him, but this wouldn't be fun nor would it be very convincing.

Kol gave her somewhat like a lovely simper before he denied what she just said.

"You're pretty, you're friends with Matt, aren't you? It would easily lead to the fact that you're friends with Caroline and Elena too.", he guessed and made April blush with his first words.

Then April stopped in front of a small house, probably not half the size of the Mikaelson mansion but still it wasn't a cheap house, it was quite pretty comparing it with other houses in Mystic Falls.

"We're there.", she said looking at Kol, then at the house and back at him again.

Kol gave her a real charming smile this time, his dimples were unmissable.

"Well, then I hope I'll see you around with Bekah again.", he said, only a moment before an older woman, around her sixties, opened the door of the house and looked at him in a very testing way.

He just assumed this was her aunt, she was talking of before and waved for a little time before he looked at April for a moment and then said Goodbye, before he left as April walked up to the woman.

"Kol, where have you been so long?", Rebekah asked as her youngest brother came through the front door of the mansion.

She didn't like that Kol was so much under people, she was too worried he would hurt them, more specifically that he would hurt Matt.

Although he was only a human bus boy, he had become a weak spot in Rebekah.

"Relax, Bekah, I've been watching over your little human. He's getting close to our brothers beloved Caroline.", he said, as if it would be nothing but to Rebekah it wasn't.

She knew, that Caroline was Nik's weakness as well as Matt was hers and it was something Kol would play out to the last day.

"Huh, they're friends, Kol, you don't have any so you don't really know how close you can get if you're one.", she said snappy and put on a jacket.

Her brother gave her a cunning smile "You're just about to make sure, that it's not true what I say, eh?"

"No, I go meet Matt, if that's what you want to know, we've fixed a meeting in school. He's failing some classes and I help him.", she said, as confident as she could.

The blonde could hear her brother laugh behind her after he went upstairs for whatever reasons and she left through the door he just came from.

"Arse.", she whispered, fully aware that he could hear her but she didn't care about that anyway.

She walked to the little house of the Donovans, that currently only Matt lived in.

Rebekah always felt so sorry for him, when she saw in what a tiny house he lived in, all by himself because his sister was killed by his ex-girlfriends boyfriend and his mother didn't even really care for him.

"Hey, Rebekah.", said Matt, who was sitting in his front yard, yes, with Caroline.

But Rebekah didn't care, just the sound of his voice made her smile, a little.

"Hi, Matt. Caroline.", she replied, glancing at the vampire, who didn't seem to be delighted by the sight of the original girl.

"What is she doing here, Matt?", she asked and looked up to Matt, who stood up already.

Matt looked at her, seemingly concerned that she won't like what he had to say.

"Rebekah's helping me with some homework. I didn't have much time for school, lately.", he answered her and helped her to her feet.

Caroline still didn't seem to like this whole situation "I could've helped you.", she said.

"Yeah, you could, but I've got some centuries more experience that teached me better.", Rebekah now remarked and tried her best to sound nice, Caroline was Matts friend and she tried to be accepted by them.

"Mh, Matt? I'll see you later, okay?", Caroline just said and gave him a hug, being nearer to him than Rebekah ever was, and left the Donovans.

She never had been at Matt's before and being in this little house somehow made her feel saver, that he ever had felt with Nik.

"I'm sorry for Caroline, she's still.. kind of..", Matt didn't really find the right words, to not hurt Rebekah with the fact that Caroline didn't like her.

"Just don't.", Rebekah relieved him and sat down on a sofa "With what should we start?", she asked instead.

Matt thought for a minute, and then answered with "Italiano."

Rebekah laughed a little before she nodded and Matt went and got his italian book.

When she looked at him in a moment he tried to remember the word for cook, she couldn't resist but think about how it would be if she was human, or he was a vampire.

Matt broke up with Caroline because he couldn't handle her being a vampire, but what if he would be one too?

"Okay, I give up, what's the word?", he asked, a bit fustrated.

Rebekah gave him a warm smile, nobody in Mystic Falls had seen before.

"It's cucinare. You'll have to revise the vocabulary again some time.", the blone answered and tilt her head back.

"I'm sorry, this has to be so boring for you.", Matt said and closed his book "We can make a break, if you want to."

"Right. Okay, do you have something to drink?", she asked after she had run through her hair.

"You mean like.."

"Like orange juice. I don't expect you to have bloodbags in your home.", she teased him.

Matt opened the mouth to say something, but just laughed a little and closed it again before stood up and walked up to fridge.

The human looked into it, before he asked "Really orange juice or do you prefer grapefruit juice or coke?" and turned to her.

"I'm perfectly fine with any of it, you can choose.", she responded and sat up as Matt came back with two glasses of, probably, grapefruit juice.

After the first sip, Rebekah started coughing.

"Ew", Rebekah said looking at what she just drank, while Matt just started to laugh very hard.

"What did you put in there?", she wanted to know with an unamused glance at him.

"Nothing", Matt said and held his hand up as if he would want to swear.

"I just..", he gasped for a breath, before he could talk further "You should've seen your face. I should have warned you, it's really bitter.", Matt guessed, still grinning a little and not fully serious.

"Oh, you did this on purpose, didn't you? I know it, you evil little arse.", Rebekah exclaimed, kiddingly, while throwing a pillow, that was on the sofa, in Matts face.

The boy started to laugh again "Oh, Rebekah, you made a mistake!", he yelled, throwing the pillow right back at her.

Just in the moment, when Rebekah wanted to contradict, her phone rang, loudly.

Matt stopped laughing and looked at her and then at her phone.

"Urgh", she made and took her phone, from the little table in front of the sofa.

"I should answer this, my brothers are very short tempered.", she explained and hated herself in that moment when she walked out of the room into another before she answered the call.

"What do you want?", she hissed at her brother.

"Did I interrupt something?", answered the sassy voice of her youngest brother, Kol.

The original girl didn't answer, which was answer enough for her brother, who blew a whistle.

"Shut up you..", she mumbled, as Matt shouldn't hear her.

Kol got all serious now "Nik wants us to have a family dinner at eight. I just wanted to let you know, before he comes and seriously interrupts you and Matty-boy. Don't you dare to be late and lower Niks mood. I like him better this way.", Kol explained with a certain heat in his voice before he just hung up with a goodbye.

His sister sighted and went back to Matt, who seemed to be concerned now.

"Is everything okay?", he wanted to know, the beautifully worrying person he was.

She just nodded not wanting to leave this boy, but she had to, if she wouldn't Nik would get into a bad mood and this turned out to be the mood in which he likes to kill people and these people end up to be Mystic Falls residents.

"I'm sorry, I've gotta go. Nik wants us to have a family dinner and..", she couldn't even complete her sentence, because Matt already stood up.

"It's okay. You've helped a lot already.", he smiled and walked her to the door.

"See you in school, I guess?", he wanted to know and got a confirmation with a nodd from her.

"I already thought, I have to go and get you, Bekah.", the sassy and to Rebekah particularly annoying voice said as she sneaked into the mansion.

He knew, how much it annoyed her and he played it out.

"You can not shut your mouth, can you?", she asked him, probably not expecting an answer.

Elijah came downstairs, well dressed in a suit as always, when he asked "Where would Kol have to pick you up from?"

"I'm sorry, but this is nobodys bleeping business.", his sister gave him as an answer.

Kol decided to give his brother the answer he actually wanted, saying "She was at Matt's, they were 'studying'." and getting a deadly glance from his sister for it.

Elijah didn't seem to mind it at all, as he just continued to walk to the dinning room, before he himself answered.

"That's nice of you, sister. The human certainly has a lot to handle with no supernatural friends."

What else did Kol expect?

He talked to his moral and understanding brother, he wouldn't tease Rebekah nor would he think bad of the human, Matt.

Too bad, but he knew how to trigger some emotions in his brother, simply in..

"Whatever you think, Kol, don't do it.", Klaus interrupted the yougest male Mikaelson.

Even though he was in a good mood, he didn't smile, not in the slightest.

"By the way, dinner's already on the table, so may I ask you to sit down.", he said then and sat down.

Other than towards his sister, Kol had some real respect towards his older brother and shut up about what he just wanted Elijah to tease about and sat down, too.

"How come you want a family dinner, out of nowhere?", he then asked as all of the Mikaelson had takeb place at the table.

Niklaus looked at him, for a moment of silence, and seemed to think about if he should answer but then did.

"I want the cure, needless to say, not for me but the doppelganger.", he started but got interrupted by Elijah, not in the polite way he used to talk.

"If you believe, we will help with this and your hybrids, Niklaus, you're.", even Elijah didn't come to an end, as now Niklaus managed to get the attention of his siblings again.

"I want our family to be whole.", he grumbled but turned back to a more soft voice.

"Do you really think, I care about these bloody hybrids more than about this?", he asked, as if it would be crystal clear that is was like this.

But both, Kol and Elijah knew better than to underesimate their brother.

Still, Elijah raised an eyebrow.

"Then why do you want to risk to awake Silas, to cure the little Elena? You don't have a guilty conscience, have you Niklaus?", he asked without answering Klaus' question.

Kol's knee hit the table, as he jumped up from his seat and almost overthew it.

"Don't you ever say that name again, Elijah", he warned his brother with a certain tense in his voice.

Now all eyes were on him.

Just by now he realized, that he wasn't as close as they were.

They were the three who swore that they'd be together, always and forever, but Kol didn't.

He was with Finn the first time and then on his own, without any of them.

They didn't know the things he knew, about Silas or about witches, about anything.

"I'm done eating.", he said and threw his serviette onto the table.

"You will regret the day, you'll have to awake Silas for the cure he wants, Nik. You maybe didn't, but I've done my research about that. Don't be so foolish to think, that you could just take it out of his cold hands.", he said and went upstairs.
