All my children:Part 2
I heard someone walking onto the porch and I was suddenly nervous what if it's Kol. There was a knock at the door seconds later. Elena offered to get it and went downstairs. Turns out it was Elijah, my vampire eavesdropping was out of control, Elijah invited Elena out and Bonnie, Caroline and I left. Caroline dropped me off at home I was tired of all the human action and I went to our secret fridge and got a blood bag I was famished having not eaten since last night.
I was going to take a nap when I rudely got a call from Damon I hit the ignore button and no more than a second later he was sending texts talk about clingy.
I finally answered the call deciding I would never get to nap if I didn't answer, "Yello?"
"She lives figuratively speaking, wheres Elena?"
"With Elijah is that all?"
"No where did they go?'
"No clue bye."
I looked at the clock and it was nearly five o'clock Kol would be dead once the moon rose. I absentmindedly played with my ring, that he used as leverage to get in my house with but, none the less a pretty ring. I laid down on my bed and the damn phone started ringing again I had half a mind to crush it.
"Damon what do you want."
"Easy there blondie we need your help your and Blondie number one are original bait."
"Aww Damon i'm so hurt I thought I was your number one."
"Age comes first your a baby literally a day old, anyway are you into stopping Esther that is?"
"Yea i'll be there." I was shocked how quickly I agreed to that.
Damon texted me the info Kol and Elijah were at the Mystic Grill and Caroline and I had to distract them Caroline draws Klaus out and I keep Kol stationary.
I decided my current state wasn't good enough so I applied a bit more mascara and changed into a turquoise dress that came in at my waist and was secured by a brown belt and topped it off with my jean jacket. I left my hair alone because when provoked the beast will strike. Caroline picked me up and drove us to the grill.
"Ok you go in first i'll follow and flash him ok?" I said while "drawing" out the plan with my foot.
"Why don't we go in at the same time." She suggested.
"Geeze Care always gotta make things so complicated." She rolled her eyes at me and walked in.
Turns out I did walk in a little after her considering I got a little preoccupied with a thing called a door.
I could hear Kol before I even walked all the way in talking about Caroline, " I remember her from last night she looks like she'd be tasty." I hung my coat on the little rack and made sure to sort of flounce right in swaying my hips a little as I walked. I didn't even look at Kol as I walked up next to Caroline.
"Caroline, Cordelia."Klaus called out to us.
"Oh it's you." Replied Caroline.
"Would you join us for a drink?"He looked almost bashful saying it, it was almost sweet, almost.
Kol raised his glass to me silently asking.
"Kol do you even know how old I am they won't serve me here?" I laughed it was true though Kol didn't really know anything about me.
"Why don't you stay darling and we can learn a whole lot about each other what do you say?" He said with an eyebrow raised.
"Pig."I replied shaking my head.
"Cora get your mind out of the gutter come on sit here." He popped open a bottle of god knows what and poured it into a glass for me.
I decided to sit down to humor him, "Only because you asked nicely." Wow was that a sense of deja vu or what..
Caroline had replied to Klaus's offer by telling him she'd rather die of thirst there was no getting let down easy with that one. Then Klaus went off after her because of Kol's taunting, I was glad to see it wasn't just me that he seemed to bother.
After I finished my first drink he poured me another except he filled this one to the brim I waved a finger at him, " Kol Mikaelson are you trying to get me drunk."
"Aww dearest we had so much fun last time you were drunk." He popped my personal space bubble again by brushing a piece of hair behind my ear.
"If I remember correctly last time we were drunk, correct me if i'm wrong, you snapped my neck." I was still a little angry not as angry as a shouldve been though it's a sore topic literally because my neck hurts!
"But, we danced and you sang and it was a lovely night if we take out that nasty bit."He said inching closer.
I looked at him wistfully as if I was remembering something too,"My favorite part about last night was the many times you fell off the balcony." I then spun on my bar stool and drank the remaining liquor in my cup. What Kol said next to me startled me a little.
"How old are you?"I choked on my still unanimous alcohol.
"I'm sixteen and a half."I said warily
"Whens your birthday?"
"It's in May…"Well this was weird.
"What's the date?"
"The seventh, May seventh."
"I'm going to get you something."
"You give me such wonderful gifts when it's not my birthday i'd love to see what you give me when it really is."
"Well I know what you like so i'll make you your own music room, a better one."He was smiling at me a genuine smile now I was very suspicious.
"You spoiled the surprise though."
"Trust me you'll still be surprised." His hand now rested on my knee.
My heart was melting a little this was too good to be true then I remembered it actually was, I still had the plan to carry out.
"Lets play pool." I said abruptly almost knocking Kol out of his chair as I all but ran to the pool tables. He turned his back to get a stick and the Alaric daggered him. Guilt couldn't even describe what I was feeling but, it was for the greater good right now he wouldn't die for ever. Elijah that is or was I talking about Kol I didn't even know anymore. Alaric hauled him outside and before you could say hybrid Klaus ripped the dagger right out of him and threw both Alaric and Stefan around like rag dolls. Klaus gave Damon multiple death threats then came Elijah looking for answers.
"Wheree are the witches." He asked. He question was met by silence.
" They're old witch house." I said immediately cursing myself for doing so god I was such an idiot.
Damon gave me a shove, "God Cora who's side are you on!"
Damon and Stefan ended up going to the old witch house for reconnaissance. While I stayed back with Klaus, Elijah and Kol it was a silent car ride over to the witch house and Kol sat in the back seat with me and didn't say a word didn't even look at me I couldn't figure out of he was mad or just thinking. When we got to the old witch house I stayed back and waited back by the trees this wasn't something I was part of nor did I want to be. Elijah was angry and hurt. Klaus was murderous and hurt and Kol was just plain seething.
" How perfect were stuck out here while the favorite son is in there playing sacrificial lamb how pathetic you are." Kol all but spat at his mother as well as Finn.
"Be quiet Kol your brother knows virtue you can not even imagine." Esther spoke cold and calculatively. My parents aren't perfect but, having a mother as strict as Esther and a father as ruthless as Mikael could make anyone go mad. Each word she spoke to them was like a little needle i've never seen a group of people so cutthroat. All of a sudden Esther's spell started to go haywire she yell up at the sky, she was losing contact with the witches! Kol was going to live! And so were Elijah and Klaus. But, what did that mean she lost contact with the witches was Bonnie dead I ran out from my hiding spot to the circle and bumped right into Kol, the fire started almost squealing and sputtering the flames rose and Kol grabbed me around the waist nestling my head under his chin and turned us away from the raging fire. The large fire put itself out and I stood up straight again Kol's chin rested on my head and I was relieved he wasn't dead. But, what exactly did happen everyone looked confused beyond belief and if I could see Kol's face I bet his would mirror his brothers. I didn't realize how much I was leaning into Kol because he suddenly let go off me and I fell flat on my butt. He laughed bitterly at my fall, that answered my question he was mad.
"Let's go."He grabbed my hand and all but, dragged me to the car.
"Kol I want to know what happened if everyones ok what happened to Bonnie or…"
He cut me off quickly, "You want to know why you're clever little plan didn't work why i'm not dead is that it?"
"Don't assume Kol it makes you look dumb, I was on your side!"I grabbed his shoulders forcing him to look at me. " I wanted you to live I don't care how sick that makes me we were trying to save you!"
"Darling you and I clearly have different meanings of saving especially if yours involves daggering me."
"No I didn't dagger you and you were daggered so Esther couldn't sacrifice Finn thus killing all of you!" I yelled at him hoping he would get it through his thick skull.
"What kind of fool do you take me for to think I would believe that rubbish." He was now holding my shoulder if I was still human they would have disintegrated by now.
"It's not my fault all Damons plans are terrible."
He laughed he was starting to cool down a little, "Do tell what changed then how am I still here unless I am in hell it's believable considering you're here."
"Well Damon or Stefan must have severed the connection so either Bonnie or Abby is dead."
"That's more believable alright dear lets go home."He said opening the passenger door for me then rounding the other side and getting in.
"You make it sound as if we have the same home."
"Well you invited me in so what's your is mine love." He smirked at me that boy was always one step ahead.
He sped away from the old witch house and we started down the old windy road to my house.
"I love driving." I said randomly and immediately regretted it because Kol started laughing at me.
"You do realize i'm driving?"
"No no I know I just like being in a car it's relaxing almost." I sunk back into my seat a little.
"Have you ever left Mystic Falls?"
I looked at him like he had six heads, "Of course of been outside of Mystic Falls there are other towns in Virginia!"
"Have you ever been outside of Virginia?" He inquired.
"No, don't laugh it's embarrassing." I could feel my face getting red.
"Why would I laugh thats rather sad darling we're going to have to fix that." He looked determined and that worried me knowing Kol he would start our little road trip right we came to my house he stopped which I was grateful for. Before I got out of the car he locked the doors locking us both in he leaned over the center console and brushed a stray curl out of my face. His warm lips ghosted across my cheek before he found a spot he deemed appropriate for his lips to land, his lips then hovered above my ear and he softly whispered to me.
"Sweet dreams my sweet Cordelia."My cheeks flushed a light pink and I stumbled out of the car. Let's just say the term weak in the knees could be a direct correlation with Kol's ability to speak to women. My knees felt like jello and my brain was fuzzy. When I curled up in bed I wondered what his lips would feel like on mine.
