Arabella ch 8
KPOV (KOL)
"I told you this would happen. We should have told her years ago."
"How do you tell someone that?" Rebekah said.
"And what the hell has gotten into you Nik? The thing with the necklace, and now you were about to tell her everything?" I asked my brother, it was his stupid idea in the first place, and yet we were all paying for it. I had to lie to the one person who was always honest to me. I had to pretend to be something to her that I wasn't, it was ridiculous the things one will do for family.
"I couldn't help it." He said to my question.
"Couldn't help it? How do you go from one day calling her a whore to revealing everything to her the next?"
"You did what?" Rebekah raised her voice. Elijah put one hand on her shoulder to keep her in place.
"She told you?" he asked me.
"She tells me everything, or did you forget my role in all this? Niklaus I agree that she should know, she should have never been kept in the dark, but with that stake out there and you pissing off the Salvatores, which very nice by the way, I don't think now is the time for all of this. You want to keep her safe don't you?"
"We all do." Elijah said.
"Then don't ruin everything now, we need to find the stake, and when we destroy it, then we shall explain everything to her." He nodded. When I was finished calming the situation Rebekah walked over and stood in between Klaus and i. She slapped him in the face, and punched me on the arm.
"Ow, what the hell did I do?" I asked.
"You didn't tell me what he said. And you Nik, are very lucky that I care about Bella so much, or I would find the stake and kill you myself, I better never hear you speak to her like that again." He looked down to the floor and Rebekah walked out of the room.
"We need to move fast, if I know the Salvatores they are impulsive and stupid, if we don't find it tonight we give them the chance to plan their attack. Rebekah, you and Kol take Elena, Klaus and I will deal with the Salvatore's and the others." Rebekah peeked through the door and rolled her eyes.
"Why do we get the doppelganger wench?" she asked.
"Because we don't want to give you the witch or the Salvatore, they are far too dangerous if they are together." Elijah said.
"Of course and Kol and I cannot handle ourselves, Are you ready to leave? We have a doppelganger to torture." She laughed we took off running towards the house, when we realized something.
"How the hell are we getting in?" she asked.
"First we ask nicely" I smirked. "I'll give them the option to remake the deal if they let me in, you lurk around outside and wait for me to get you an invitation."
"They are not going to fall for that." She said.
"We only need one to fall for that, and that's Jeremy." We reached the house and Rebekah slid into the shadows.
I knocked on the door and heard the mumbles of people in the house, when I knocked they stopped talking. No one came to the door.
"Oh come on I can hear you in there." I said, and I heard someone step forward.
"Sorry no invitation for you." It was Jeremy the little bloke must still be mad I pretended to be his friend.
"There are other ways to get to you." I heard typing on a cell phone and could only assume they were communicating without speaking so I wouldn't hear. I kicked the door and it hit against the far wall, I smirked and saw only Jeremy standing in the hallway. "Come now Jeremy I only want to talk. Invite me in and we will discuss this like civilized men."
I heard rustling in the trees next to the house and then Rebekah appeared with Elena held by her throat.
"Alright now mate seems my sister's gotten a hold of your sister so let's move this along, invite me in, and no one has to get hurt." I told him.
"Elena!" he shouted when she came into sight.
"How about my offer Jeremy?" he looked from Me to his sister and I could see his will power weakening, he finally sighed and looked at me.
"Kol, you can come in." I took a step through the front door and walked towards him, with every intention of choking him up into a wall, he walked into the Kitchen and I walked towards him through the dining room. When I went to follow him I felt an invisible barrier block my path.
"What the hell is this?" I banged on the invisible forcefield and tried the way I had walked in but got the same reaction. "You forget we still have your sister." I turned and looked at Rebekah who yanked on Elena's hair making her scream, I smiled and looked back to Jeremy. I was too late, I didn't see him reach for his cross bow, I didn't see him shoot it, I only felt a sharp pain hitting my heart as the stake plunged into it, I screamed in pain and looked towards Rebekah, she let go of Elena and screamed banging against her own invisible barrier.
"KOL!" she shouted and then I saw darkness.
