Chapter 2:
Kol showed up outside my home as promised and I barely managed to leave my home without getting caught by my mother.
As usual Kol sported a fine blue tunic that almost seemed to hug his toned body and his dark blond shoulder long hair hung loose, while I wore my old, worn and dark grey dress.
My mother had offered to let me borrow her finest dress, but I was afraid that I would ruin it and it was also the dress she wore the day she married my father.
"Well, you sure do look… um, stunning," Kol said teasingly, looking up and down at my worn dress. "It is a celebration, so why wear something so plain and boring?"
"Kol, unlike you then I cannot afford to let my fine dresses get ruined, so shut up or I will stuff your mouth with hay!" I snapped, walking past him.
Kol rolled his eyes but followed me and went with me to an opening in the woods where the celebration was held.
The party had already begun when we arrived and some were already well on their way to pass out from drinking too much mead and wine.
Tatia was sitting with Niklaus at the bonfire and laughed of something he said, but when she spotted me in the crowd she left him and ran towards me.
"You came! And I see you have caught yourself a young lad…" she said quietly, nodding towards Kol.
I rolled my eyes. "I only walked with him because he showed up outside my home." I said.
Tatia laughed. "If you say so, Aliana. But why do you not have some fun with him? You know he fancies you, so–"
"Tatia, I am not going to do anything with that man! He does not fancy me, but only my body."
She rolled her eyes. "So? Is it really that horrific to be wanted by a man? You could marry him and have a better life."
I shook my head and looked towards Kol, who was talking with Klaus and gesturing towards us as if he was planning something that involved us being a part of it.
"Well, do what you want. I will see if I can find Elijah and lure him into having a drink with me."
Tatia placed a kiss on my cheek and walked towards the crowd of people who were celebrating together and having fun.
I wasn't so much in the mood to party, so I left the party with a goblet of wine in my hand and walked deep into the dark woods, wanting to be alone a bit.
I never had been able to enjoy a party since my father died, but it didn't really matter if I missed out on this particular party, because there would always be something to celebrate.
So I went to the big waterfall not so far away from the town and sat by the river with my drink, listening to the muffled sound of music still being played vigorously at the party.
I took a swig of my goblet and inhaled the fresh air, enjoying the beautiful starry sky.
As a witch and a servant of nature I always loved being outside and especially during springtime as the flowers began to bloom and the woods was so full of life.
"Ah, are you trying to avoid my brother?" a familiar voice said.
I turned my head and smiled weakly as Niklaus walked up to me with a goblet of wine of his own in his hand.
"Is it really that obvious?" I asked and chuckled.
Niklaus sat down next to me and I couldn't stop myself from gazing at him and his body. I had always sensed that there was something different about Niklaus, but I was never able to tell why I felt the way I did around him.
But despite being a troublemaker like Kol, then Niklaus could be sweet at times – or so I'd heard from Tatia.
"Kol is… a brat, yes, and immensely annoying most of the time, but he really does fancy you."
"Kol is not capable of being in love with someone."
Niklaus looked at me, his eyebrow quirking up. "You truly believe that?"
I nodded and looked at him as well. "That is why he keeps sleeping with women he does not know and then leaves them the morning after. He cannot commit to one woman and as much as I love Tatia, then she too struggles with that problem, so be careful, Niklaus."
He nodded. "Oh, trust me. I know. Both Elijah and I have been warned by many."
We were silent for minutes and spend some time enjoying the night sky and nature around us before Niklaus suddenly stood up again.
"I must go, but try giving him a chance. You never know what will happen."
I nodded and watched him leave, half-wishing that Niklaus was the one chasing me instead of Kol. I never knew what Kol would do and hated that I couldn't predict what he would do next whereas with Niklaus I could.
And then there was also the fact that I once had been very smitten with him.
"Aliana! There you are!" Kol exclaimed, walking towards me with two goblets in his hands.
"Why does that man refuse to give up…" I muttered grumpily as I stood up, finishing my own drink. "Kol, what are you doing here?"
"I have been trying to find you, of course! Do not think that you can hide that easily from me."
I rolled my eyes. "Why are you being so persistent? Why not waste your time sleeping with all the other women here. You and I both know that there are many who would gladly sleep with you."
Kol smirked. "Well, thank you, love, but I told you that I wanted to show you how to have fun without getting drunk or naked and I am not leaving before I have done it."
I shook my head of him. "You do not have to show or prove anything to me, Kol."
He shook his head and placed the two goblets on the ground, then took my hand and pulled me close to him in one quick movement.
"How about we make a deal? You let me show you how to have fun and if I manage to make you laugh before the night is over, then you have to let me kiss you." he said.
"And if you fail?" I asked
Kol snorted and laughed. "Oh, I will not fail, but if there is a slight chance that I will fail then you have my word on that I will never bother you again." Kol answered.
It was very tempting to say yes to a deal like that, but if Kol somehow managed to make me laugh then I had to kiss him and after that he would keep bothering me.
"I will only agree if you also promise me that you will not have any physical contact with me when you will attempt to make me laugh."
Kol groaned and rolled his eyes, but nodded. "Fine, fine. I will not touch you."
I smirked smugly. "Excellent. Well, get on with it. Make me laugh."
He picked up the two goblets and signed for me to follow him back to the party, which I reluctantly did and when we reached the party, he told me to stay still with the goblets while he snuck up on a woman who stood beside his brother Finn.
"Nice legs... what time do they open?" he said, then quickly hid behind Finn.
The woman then turned around and thought that Finn had said that, and since she was disgusted by his comment she tossed her drink in his face and yelled a lot of swearwords before leaving.
I couldn't stop myself from giggling a little and shook my head of Kol, who was laughing hard next to his now wet-faced brother.
Finn growled and grabbed him by his neck, throwing him back towards me. I had to do my best to try not to laugh, because to see Kol get himself in trouble with his brothers was amusing.
"Well?" Kol said, still lying on the ground.
"You are a moron, Kol." I said, handing him back his drinks.
He sat up and took a swig of one of them. "I saw you smile. That has to count for something. Let me try one more time."
I opened my mouth to say something, but Kol signed for me to follow him again and this time he took me on a walk through the woods, searching for someone or something in particular.
"Just give up, Kol. You are not going to make me laugh." I said.
"If I can make you giggle then I can also make you laugh, so follow me, love." Kol said.
I snorted. "This is foolish and bothersome and–"
He shushed me and I saw that we were now at the entrance of a cave that I had never seen before in the many years I had lived here.
"I stumbled across this about five years ago when I got lost in the woods. I…" He hesitated a bit and then continued. "I was actually being chased by wolves when I found it."
I burst out laughing of the thought of Kol being chased by a pack of hungry wolves, but I soon realized that I'd laughed and quickly covered my mouth.
Kol smirked widely, though, and looked like he had just been given his own kingdom.
"See! I can make you laugh and that was without touching or making you drunk!" he said and laughed. "Looks like I won the deal."
"No! You-you cheated! You only told me that story because you know I enjoy when you suffer!"
He chuckled and raised an eyebrow. "You enjoy hearing about me suffering? Wow, I guess that means I am wrong about you. You are definitely not tedious and bad to the bone like me."
He winked flirtatiously, making me more furious than I already was right now. I growled and pushed him into the dirt, then stormed off and left him alone; hoping badly that the wolves would return and chase him again.
I returned to my home within half an hour and went into my bedchamber, locking the door before my mother could see how flushed my face was.
I owed Kol a kiss now.
And I knew that he wasn't going to leave me alone before he'd gotten it.
Thanks for reading and please review! ;D
