It was lunch when Silas finally sees Kol again. He was under the tree where they had their first sort-of conversation. Silas walks over and plops down in front of Kol, who has his head down engrossed in his drawing.
Silas leans over and snatches the sketchpad; he observes the different textures in the sketch. Before he can look at the rest of it, it's grabbed from his hands.
"You know it's rude to take other people's private belongings" Kol snaps glaring at Silas.
Silas looks at Kol "How are things going?" he asked raising his eyebrows taking in Kol's appearance. His eyes, however, stop on Kol's throat. There were dark bruises shaped like a hand print.
Kol's eyes widen when he sees where Silas is looking; he pulls his hoodie up a bit more trying to hide as much as possible.
"Things are just fine," Kol says sharply.
Silas raises his eyebrows gesturing towards Kol's badly bruised neck, "Yeah, seems like it" he snaps sarcastically.
Kol frowns "maybe you should learn not to pry into other people's business".
Silas raises his hands in defeat. "You know boyfriends shouldn't treat their partners like that, though."
"I deserved this, so don't patronise Ethan" Kol snaps starting to gather his things but was stopped by Silas tugging him back down.
"You don't believe that do you Kol?" Silas asks a frown forming above his brows; Kol shrugs off Silas' grip on his wrist "Please…just leave me alone for now on" Kol sighs before leaving Silas by himself.
Kol's phone buzzes in his pocket making Kol jump slightly. He presses answer and holds the phone against his ear.
"Kol, speaking" talks openly into the speaker as he kicks a stone across the ground.
"Kol you better behave tonight and not pull any crap, Lucas is staying a few nights, and I do not need a recap of last time" Ethan grounds out as he reminisces on Kol's behaviour last time Lucas visited.
Kol's shoe freezes in the dirt at the mention of Lucas. Ethan and Lucas are like one person. Both Violent, possessive, controlling, lying, sadistic arseholes towards Kol.
Lucas and Ethan had grown up together, so it was only natural that the two of them adopted each other's traits and had no problem sharing their belongings together, and yes on Ethan's behalf that even meant Kol.
"W-what?"
"You heard me the first time Kol. I'm serious behave like the little shit you were last time, and I will take matters into my hands and, I can tell you now I won't be as kind as last time."
"Ethan…" Kol pleads, "You don't have a say in this now shut up" Ethan growls into the phone.
"Can I at least go to the mall to grab a few things when I get home?" Kol asks crossing his fingers; Ethan doesn't answer for a while, and Kol checks to see if he had hung up but it was still active, so he put it back to his ear.
"Ethan?" Kol asks again.
"I suppose but you better not go anywhere else and be back before six thirty" Ethan commands.
Kol grins "Thank you."
Kol hangs up after Ethan finishes saying what he wanted to tell Kol, and Kol frowns, "Please don't be a disaster like last time."
School ends quickly that day, and Kol searches the car park to see where Ethan had parked his motorbike. He smiles when he sees his baby under the tree, so it was in the shade.
Kol quickly makes his way over and feels around underneath the bodywork; he smirks when his hand grasps the keys.
Kol stands up and turns around bumping straight into the chest of someone.
It seems he's been doing that a lot lately.
Kol freezes for a second before scrambling away from the person. After Kol feels there is enough distance between him and the unknown stranger, does he look up and frown.
"Can I help you?" Kol asks a small frown gracing his features, standing in a defensive stance. The guy screams quarterback, and he doesn't look like he likes Kol all that much.
"Is this your bike?" The stranger speaks gesturing to Kol's motorbike.
"Yes, it is otherwise I wouldn't be holding the keys" Kol answers, eyebrow raising in confusion.
The guy took a step closer, grabbing Kol's hoodie of his jumper and pulling him roughly towards him, so their faces were almost touching.
Kol leans away from the guy trying to put a bit more space between them.
"Well, then you can tell the arsehole who dropped it off for you to watch his back then" The guy growls.
Kol frowns as he shoves the older teen off himself. Kol knew how to defend himself quite well he's just never had the guts to go up against Ethan or Lucas.
And there was no way Kol was going to just stand there and let this guy threaten him or Ethan for that matter. The guy looks surprised at first before growling slightly at Kol.
"If you have a beef with Ethan than you can bloody tell him yourself, don't you ever grab me again" Kol snarls straightening his jumper out.
The guy laughs and pretends to turn around to walk off, before throwing a punch straight into Kol's, already sore ribs, winding him.
Kol bends over clutching his ribs and watches as the guy moves to throw a punch towards his face. Kol was quick to dodge the punch and instead kicks the boy squarely in the chest sending the teen to the ground coughing.
Tyler looks up at the younger teen who'd just kicked him quite hard in the chest, before letting out another growl. Tyler gets to his feet; there was no way he was going to let this new kid embarrass him in front of everyone.
Tyler charges the new guy and knocks the both of them onto the concrete, landing a punch straight into the guys face splitting his eyebrow.
Kol hisses as he feels the skin part and blood drip down the side of his face. Kol clenches his jaw as the two of them continue to struggle on the concrete causing Kol to get cuts from the glass on the ground.
Tyler attempts to throw a few more punches, but Kol blocks them all.
Tyler gets flipped over so the guy has him pinned and then before he knows it a punch is thrown, and he feels the pain and warm liquid drip from his cheek before he even sees the Fist come down on him.
Kol throws a few more punches before he deems that's enough. Kol stands up and moves towards his bike again.
Kol looks at the guy who was being helped up by his friends, looking at him in disgust.
"Like I said arsehole if you have a beef with Ethan deal with it yourself. I'm not some naive, messenger who passes on weightless threats. What you just did was not cool, it was cowardly and pathetic" Kol snarls before picking up his backpack and helmet.
Kol pulls on his helmet not bothering with the blood that was still freely pouring from his split eyebrow and all the cuts over his arms, back, and chest.
Kol stops for a second pulling out a piece of paper and a pen from his bag before writing Ethan's number on it then looking towards his attacker.
"You want to threaten Ethan well there you go, there's his number so now you can do it yourself" Kol snaps throwing the paper on the ground in front of the guys feet.
Kol pulls out of the car park, not bothering to look at anyone in the gathering crowd.
Kol pulls into the driveway of his apartment before shutting off the engine; Pulling off his helmet and putting a hand to his eyebrow, Kol winces before looking at his hand covered in blood. Now that Kol thinks about so was his jumper which was all ripped from the glass.
'So much for going to the mall' Kol thinks to himself as he opens the front door walking straight past the lounge room, not noticing Ethan and Lucas on the couch.
"I mind my own business, but no everything still gets thrown into my face. Moved halfway across the country to get away from trouble and what happens you end up right in the middle again" Kol snaps to himself as he walks into the kitchen searching for the first aid box.
Kol hasn't noticed that he has to sets of eyes watching him as he moves around the kitchen looking for the first aid box. Kol looks up at the cupboards and notices he accidently got blood on them.
"Oh come on are you serious, just stop bleeding already!" Kol growls out completely in his own, little world at the moment, before finding the medical box and holding a cloth against his eyebrow.
Still off in his little world, he pulls off his jumper, so his torso was bare and inspects all the cuts that litter his chest and arms. Kol's back turned on Ethan and Lucas, so he still hasn't noticed the two of them.
"What a stupid, ignorant idiot!" Kol hisses as he pulls some of the shards of glass out with tweezers before finally turning around to switch on the faucet, he freezes when he sees the two figures leaning against the wall watching him with curious gazes.
"Uh…S-sorry about the blood everywhere…" Kol chokes out.
Ethan was the first to move as he walks closer to Kol and uses one hand to grab Kol's chin turning his face side to side to inspect the damage. Lucas follows him and stops in front of Kol as well, glancing up and down Kol.
Kol's frozen in place as his eyes flick between the two of them not wanting to make either of them angry.
"Who did this?" Ethan growls out, thumb running over Kol's split eyebrow softly, making Kol hiss slightly.
Lucas moves behind Kol and runs his hands down Kol's side making sure not to hit any of the cuts. Kol shivers slightly at Lucas' hands and Ethan's voice.
"I D-don't know his name all I know is that he wasn't too happy with you Ethan. He told me to tell you to watch your back and so I said if he had a problem with you then he can tell you himself. Then he just punched me square in the face and from there it escalated" Kol sighs softly enjoying the uncommon kindness from the two of them.
"Ahh... that Tyler Lockwood guy" Ethan's voice was full of venom.
Ethan glances at Lucas, who was holding Kol's hips and running a thumb slowly across Kol's hip. Lucas meets Ethan's gaze and nods.
"We should do something about this then, what do you think Eth?" Lucas grins maniacally using Ethan's nickname he'd used since they were kids.
Ethan moves his hands from Kol's face and covers Lucas' own on Kol's hips.
"No one can touch Kol besides us and get away with it Luca" Ethan grins sadistically before kissing Kol's neck. Lucas follows suit moving to start kissing the left side of Kol's neck.
Kol lets out a soft moan at the sensation of lips on both sides of his neck. He feels their lips trace the finger shaped bruises that Ethan left the other night from strangling Kol.
Ethan and Lucas lick the blood on Kol's neck as they look at each other and smirk at the way Kol shudders between the two of them. They both knew as much; Kol was terrified of them, but it was evident that Kol felt something for the both of them.
Lucas moves his lips up to Kol's ear and whispers sultrily.
"Don't worry darling; he's going to pay for laying a hand on you. Now, why don't you go have a shower and get cleaned up while Eth and I go pay a visit to a certain someone" Lucas smiles darkly. Kol nods not bothering to try and stop the both of them.
Lucas and Ethan walk towards the garage and grab their leather jackets and Lucas' keys to his Black Aston Martin.
All three of them had grown up in a wealthy family, so money wasn't a problem for them.
The two of them slip into the sports car and pull out of the garage, making their way to the Mystic Grill.
Ten minutes later they pull up in front of the grill and climb out locking the doors as they walk side by side into the bars door.
Their eyes survey the bar before landing on a group of teenagers sitting in a booth off towards the back they were all laughing and joking.
Lucas and Ethan look at each other.
"I know one of them, the little prick keep's watching Kol, and they obviously know that Lockwood guy" Ethan explains before they make their way over to the booth.
When they stop in front of the table, everyone stops laughing and looks up at the two strangers who happened to approach their table.
Silas was the first to notice the one that had mockingly shot him.
"No need to stop on our behalf" Lucas grins eyeing them all up with his dark brown eyes. No one moved to start talking, so Damon spoke first
"What do use want" he states boldly.
Ethan's grin matches Lucas' "Oh were just looking for a cocksure Lockwood, any of you's seen him around" Ethan smirks cocking his head to the side, in a predatory manner.
Caroline frowns "If this is about what happened this afternoon, that's between Tyler and Kol" Caroline announces in a 'matter of fact' tone.
Lucas smiles at the blonde in an unfriendly matter as Ethan turns to the little Blondie.
"Oh but you see, you're little boyfriend had no right to lay a hand on Kol, if he had something to say to me then he should have done just that" Ethan barks.
Silas frowns not liking the way he was talking to Caroline.
"Oh, you can't talk, I've seen the bruises and the text you sent him when he forgot his phone, so you have no right to judge others!" Silas snaps pointing at Ethan.
Ethan's and Lucas' heads turn towards Silas, both their lips turn down in disgust as they look Silas up and down.
"Who the fuck are you to stick your nose in someone else's business" Ethan hissed feeling his fingers itch to reach over and beat this guy to a pulp.
Before anyone could reply the bathroom door opens "Can you believe that little faggot had the guts to mess with me, I swear the next time I see him I'm going to Pummel his head…" Tyler stops midsentence as he walks up to the booth and notices the two figures at the table.
Tyler watches as the two forms turn around in synchronisation to face him. Tyler swallows slightly, as he looks at the two guys whose Fists were clenching and unclenching, shaking at the force.
He notices one of them was the one he had a run in with earlier when the guy dropped the motorbike off, the other he didn't recognise, but they both looked like they wanted to rip his throat out.
"What the fuck did you just say you piece of shit" Ethan snarls out.
