Chapter 8
Elena's POV
While Kol speeds along the highway I sigh with relief and turn on the radio, Bitter Sweet Symphony starts to play. I lie my head back and a few seconds later I am shot in the arm with a metal bullet, phew (it isn't wooden, Kol will be fine). I yelp and look to my side and see a large black SUV drive fast on our right blocking us from exiting the highway. Kol turns to me and holds my left shoulder turning me to see where I was shot with an expression of such concern; I admire him for caring so much. He tells me to duck while he swerves around cars trying to get away from two SUVs with three werewolves in each. I clasp my arm to limit the bleeding while Kol has to drive around more cars. I suck out the bullet wincing.
Kol's POV
So many distractions, werewolves are trying to kill us, I nearly crashed, Elena is wiping her lips spreading the blood to her cheeks, this is quite alluring especially for a vampire who would just want to lick her face clean. I get back to focusing on ditching these wolves, there is a five meter gap behind me so I slow down so I am able to turn out of the highway cutting across. I hear cars screeching as I cut across, including the wolves'. They turn and drive down a dirt path leading to the exit I take. I drive fast trying to lose contact with the wolves. We are in a city, no idea where. I drive down into a car park and I quickly bite my wrist to allow Elena to heal faster. She takes a few quick sips and licks my wrist clean and we rush out casually. She thanks me while wiping more blood around her mouth, I look at her and stare at her mouth, "Oh, you've got blood, like everywhere" I inform her, she laughs and licks her lips so seductively I turn away. I instinctively pull out my Porsche car keys which we left, this saddens me. Elena sees my dismay at my loss; she comforts me by clinging onto my arm as we stride to the closest staircase. "May I?" I ask Elena while indicating I'm about to pick her up. She nods and I swoop her up and speed up the stairs, we enter a mall and I set her down.
Elena's POV
We walk past a clothing store, Kol discretely grabs a thin shear sweater and hands it to me, I put it on while Kol takes off my hat and places it on a table we pass. He picks up someone's jacket on a chair in a restaurant we pass by and puts it on. He looks good. I turn around and spot a werewolf, as I am about to speed up Kol grabs my arm. "Don't show fear, that's the first thing they are looking for. Blend in." Kol tells me wisely. I hook my arm around Kol's for guidance, he squeezes back with comfort. "Lets go upstairs" Kol whispers after noticing two more wolves by the exit. We take the escalator up, we are both standing to the side when a wolf is walking up. He is going to see us, I hold Kol's upper arm puling him closer and give him a look of concern. The wolf is inspecting as he ascends. Kol understands the situation and pulls me into an amorous hug. "Moments of intimacy make people uncomfortable. Hide your face" he whispers.
Kol's POV
Holy crap, a wolf is walking up the escalator. I have my back to it but Elena doesn't, we are hugging. She snuggles her face into my neck to make the wolf feel uncomfortable, it works evidently as he just walks straight past to avoid looking like a pervert. Elena's soft lips are pressed against my neck with her arms around my neck laughing as a distraction. I feel a shiver run through my entire body with an unfamiliar feeling. I never want to let go, and I don't. Elena lets go a few seconds after the wolf is gone and surveys the area with her hands still around my neck. She holds my hand while walking off and I sigh with disappointment of the end of the greatest hug. I run my free hand through my hair still in that moment of intimacy I cant forget. I pull Elena back while walking and put my arm around her shoulders, she looks to me with a chuckle, both amused by our brilliant act.
Elena's POV
I could sense Kol stiffen at my embrace, but after a few short seconds he relaxes. He relaxes, allowing the embrace to connect us as two. It was an experience, which I truly enjoyed. I felt safe in his arms, forgot about the wolf walking beside me. He shielded me, protected me. We walk to an overpass crossing over to another mall. We descend down to an exit and it is raining. This is good because umbrellas hide faces. And dogs don't like water. We find an umbrella in a pot; Kol opens it and pulls me closer beside him by my waist. I feel awkward not knowing where to place my hands, I link our arms. We walk through the crowd of people, seeking a vehicle to take us far away from these dogs. We come across an Audi store and Kol walks right in. He talks to the first salesperson we see, I look around while he hands over a cheque from a book in his pocket, I assume he has compelled him to forget about the paperwork. He walks to me after less than a minute and tells me "I asked for their fastest vehicle, we may leave now." Perfect. The salesman guides us to the back door revealing a gorgeous slick black two seater with doors like his old car. I look at Kol, his face lights up with content, its adorable. We get in and leave immediately.
Kol's POV
We drive out of the unknown city and after about thirty minutes we decide to get some food. We pull up to a crowded auto stop and receive jealous stares of our looks or the car's, haha. We walk to the store and Elena keeps a very close proximity, she must feel safe around me. This is so comforting, I walk fast along the aisle and make a sudden stop, she bumps right into me "What the hell Kol?" I look behind me and smile, I do this again and she gives me a stare then walks right beside me so I cant block her way again. We pass some clothes and she pulls my arm back and clings on while examining the pieces. There are mainly children sizes, her top is covered with blood under her shear sweater so we decide to buy her a child's fitting top which will probably fit knowing her slim figure. She lets go of my arm and pulls out an Iron Man top which is for 6 year olds and puts it up against my chest sarcastically seeing if it fits. She laughs and looks so beautiful I laugh with her. We grab some drinks and food. Elena goes to the bathroom to change while I pay. After I've paid I wait in the hallway eating a Parma ham sandwich and Elena walks out looking really good, the shirt fits, and shows some skin and looks great with her jeans. I notice other guys checking her out and am proud to be traveling with her. She looks around and spots me and gives me a great smile, she walks over and exclaims "Oh yum, I'm starving" while taking a huge bite of my sandwich, I look to her with wide eyes and she laughs. I should be sad she had some of my sandwich but I'm not, probably because this is like the 100th time we've shared saliva. We decide to get going and head back to the car. It starts to rain once again and it is cold. We sit in the car eating our food very cozily under cover still in the gas station. We turn on the radio, Myth by Beach house plays.
Elena's POV
We drive back onto the highway through the rain; we are able to see the Alps, white with snow. I fall asleep with gentle opera in the background while admiring Kol's maturity and appreciation for true music.
I wake up and we are in a heavy thunderstorm, we are parked in an empty field beside the motor road. Kol isn't in the car, I see him under a roof outside the bathrooms with a dim light shining. He is on the phone. I decide to run over in the pouring rain as fast as I can startling Kol from behind as I embrace him.
"Yep, bye." Kol hangs up. He says something to me but I cant hear through the thunder, he takes a step in and talks in my ear, the warmth of his breath sends a shiver through my body. "I have a chalet in Switzerland, we can stay there." I respond with a happy expression, he smiles back then sweeps me off my feet speeding through the rain to the car. We both jump in and turn off the aircon. "We need get us some winter gear, you'll freeze".
"Oh yeah, crazy weather here. Do you think they're off our trails now?"
"Hopefully.
