Not so Happy Hour
The pub is in complete chaos. Patrons are running around screaming. Furniture is being turned over and glassware is being broken as people run toward the exit.
Eric, Rodney's relative, is trying to calm the people fleeing the pub. Rodney is on his knees hovered over Charles begging him to wake up. He cries out to Kol for help. Kol is pacing with his eyes closed tightly and his hands pressed hard against forehead.
He can't lose Davina again and won't. A part of him blames himself for bringing her to this pub. He wishes he didn't let her go out to the car alone. Perhaps, he should have acted and done more to save her when she was right in front of him. He crushes a large pint glass in his hand out of sheer frustration.
Using his vampire speed, he quickly goes to the pub entrance and blocks the door. "Get the hell back in there" he yells. "Nobody is leaving." His face becomes pale, the veins under his eyes are pronounced and he displays his fangs to the horrified crowd of people.
"You can't just keep us locked in here, there are more of us, and we'll take you out. We might not all make it but you won't win" a young vampire yells from the back of the crowd.
Kol gives a one sided smirk "really?" he asks. He picks up a piece of a broken bottle and launches it at the younger vampire. It hits him in the throat, removing his head from his body. His body slowly bends backward and he falls to the ground.
"Anyone else wants to leave?" Kol asks again. "If you all cooperate, no one else has to die."
"Kol!" yells Rodney.
The original turns toward his friend with his eyes almost pitch black. "What?!"
"These people have done nothing wrong why are you doing this? Let them go" says Rodney.
"Nothing wrong?" Kol mockingly responds. "Werewolves just killed your fucking friend and they kidnapped Davina." He turns back to the crowd that he is keeping hostage.
"Somebody knows something. All of you lot, get to that back wall now" he yells. The patrons quickly start to do as he demands. They walk to the wall and step over the dead vampire in the middle of the room that Kol killed only moments earlier.
The patrons line up with their backs against the wall facing the original vampire. He walks over to them and does his signature head tilt. "I need witches" he yells at the group of horrified people standing in front of him. Everyone remains quiet.
"Did you all not hear me?" he screams. He grabs one of the male patrons violently and shows his fangs. A man and woman step forward.
"Please don't kill him, we are witches. What do you want from us?" the woman asks.
"See, everything becomes much easier when everyone plays their part." "Locator spell, get to it" Kol snaps back.
"We need a map and something of the person you are looking for. The more items of hers the better" says the male witch.
Kol clenches his jaws tightly "the person you are looking for is my girlfriend Davina. And it is in both of your best interests to find her and fast."
"Vampire!"
"Vampire!"
"I need a vampire now!" he yells.
One of the younger vampires steps forward. He is terrified of the original. All eyes are on both men. Kol compels the young vampire to go to his car and retrieve Davina's brush and red lipstick from the glove compartment.
While the vampire goes for the items, Kol rips off one of Rodney's memorabilia maps off the wall. "Now do the spell" he demands of the two witches.
As they prepare the spell, Kol hears the pushing of phone buttons coming from the kitchen. He uses his enhanced speed and finds one of the cooks in the kitchen hiding underneath the counter with a cell phone. He grabs the man and hauls him out to the front by his throat and tosses him into the middle of the room.
"Give me the phone" yells Kol. The man is trembling so badly he drops the phone on the ground. Kol picks it up and wakes it out of sleep mode. The man pleads to Kol to not hurt him.
"What is the passcode?" The man stutters and babbles incoherently. He throws the phone back at the cook to put in the code. The original walks behind the bar and grabs a baseball bat. He puts the bat on his shoulder and walks toward the man slowly to amplify the terror.
"Put in the bloody passcode!" Kol shouts. The man clumsily drops the phone again and tries to pick it up but is shaking uncontrollably.
"P-p-please d-don't h-hurt me" he cries.
One of the women against the wall starts to sob loudly. Rodney knows what Kol is capable of. He had personally witnessed the original's cruelty many times. Kol might be the youngest male in the Original family but his temper, need for revenge, blood lust and proclivity toward violence rivals Klaus. Although Kol was his friend, he understood why Klaus and Elijah would have felt the need to dagger him.
Rodney runs over and tackles Kol. The original being much stronger than he, quickly gets the upper hand. He pushes the older wolf against a wall. He grabs Rodney's shoulders and lifts him a foot off the ground. His eyes go dark and he curls his lips revealing his fangs.
Rodney is terrified. "Kol please" he begs. The original's eyes switch back to normal and he quickly releases his grip on Rodney and places him down gently. He doesn't say sorry to Rodney but stares intensely at him with a look of slight remorse.
As he stands in front of his friend, he turns to the witches who are sitting on the ground in horror with Davina's things. "Do your spell!" he commands them.
"And you," he turns his attention back to the cook on the ground who is visibly shaken, "put in the code and give me your phone." The man's hands shake as he puts in the code. He finally unlocks the phone and hands it over.
"We found her" the female witch shouts. Kol walks over to the map and looks to see where it places Davina. "Wait they are moving her, she's gone" the male witch shouts.
"What do you mean gone?" Kol says while holding the Cook's phone.
"It's almost as if," the female witch" pauses and Kol interrupts, "they are using a cloaking spell."
He looks down at the phone and starts looking at the messages. He sees a text with the word "nimulli." Further down it says "he has witch" to an unknown person.
"Who were you texting?" Kol asks the man calmly. The cook tells him that the text was to Ashton with the hope that Kol would show him mercy for his honesty.
Kol steps away from the cook and walks in a circle around the middle of the room with his hands at his hips. He puts his right hand above his brows and rubs his forehead as though he is thinking of what to say next. He then places his hand back on his hips. The original walks back to the cook on the ground and steps on his fingers. The cook screams as the bones in his fingers break. Kol parts his lips to speak. In an eerily calm voice begins to address the crowd.
"Look, I will kill each and every one of you and not blink an eye. I have tried to be gracious and patient. I am giving you the opportunity to tell me what you know or else I will kill you and I will kill everyone you love, ever loved and will love."
He calls all in the room who are human to stand in a line in front of him. After separating who is on vervain by asking them questions and then listening to their heartbeats, he determines that the humans in the room know nothing about Ashton's pack or where they might have taken Davina. He compels the ones who are not on vervain to forget all that happened in the pub that night. For the humans on vervain, he forces the witches to perform a spell that makes them forget the pub events.
About thirty people are left in the room. They are vampires, wolves, and witches.
"Cook where would they take her?" Kol asks.
"I don't know."
"Why are you helping them? They are not even a part of your pack. Your tattoo is different from theirs. You are in the Crimson pack aren't you?" Kol asks curiously.
"Yes, I am Crimson. My pack leader made a deal with the Farzans months ago. We are obligated to help them."
"I honestly do not know where they are and what they plan for Davina."
"Thank you for your honesty," says Kol. "What is your name cook?"
"Leon," he replies.
"Now, Leon, your texting Ashton, and his pack has ruined my opportunity to save Davina. For your newfound honesty, I will do you a kindness and make your death be quick" says Kol."
The werewolf screams no and Kol snaps his neck. He slumps over and falls face first onto the wooden floor. The room goes silent. By now, everyone had expected Kol to kill the cook.
A young werewolf that looks about 18 years old being held hostage by Kol volunteers to help him find the Farzan pack. His pack has been enemies of the Farzans for generations. Kol decides to let the pub patrons go.
