Sorry, loves; Work has been a bummer. This chapter is the last of the book. It took me forever to write because it was the end and I usually hate writing endings, it's never fun to say goodbye to a character(s). But forget that, another problem I had with this chapter was romance parts considering I'm not one for romance; I would rather write hook ups than love scenes. Anyhoo, I tried and I think I succeeded; read away, darlings. 3


Elena's lips curled into a smile as Kol's hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer to him. Her fingers ran up his chest to the hem of his shirt as she slowly maneuvered it off his body. Their eyes stayed connected as Elena stripped him of his clothing. Removing his shirt, her hands ran down his toned chest. Slowly, she took in the feel of his human chest, taking in the feel of the warmth and pounding of his heart against her small hand.

Kol grabbed her hands bringing them to his lips and placed a gentle kiss on each. He switched positions so that she was underneath him; his hands trailed the bottom of her shirt as he lifted the thin material over her body. Next his hands traveled down south to the bottom of her low riding pajama shorts, barely enough material to cover anything he thought to himself. He brought her face to his and planted another tender kiss along her chin, teasing her.

A small groan escaped her throat as he continued kissing her chin, finally he reached her lips and their lips met for the first time with blood rushing through each of them. He made quick work of removing her shorts from her legs; her arm wrapped around his back as he kissed her neck. He almost leapt out of his pants as he removed them, the two held each other skin-to-skin. Kol slowly enters her; fearing that he may not be able to do this now that he is human, but receives nothing but a kiss and smile from Elena. Then all thoughts are diminished when their eyes met; he was glad that for once in his life he could hold someone and not have to urge to drink from them.

Kol is gentle, keeping Elena on the brink of her orgasm as he pushes in and out of her again and again, slowly, trying to make their night last as long as it can. The world seems to vanish; all their problems seem to dissipate. Elena's arms now wrap around Kol's strong back as moans escape her mouth; she's lost in bliss. Afraid that Kol won't be satisfied now that he can't drink from her, though her mind was quickly interrupted when lips touch hers and a wave of pleasure rushes over her body. Tearing her lips from his and shouting out in ecstasy.

Kol feels young, much like his teenage self. Carefree and a boy. He leaves a trail of wet kisses down Elena's neck and the lengths of her face. In a thousand years as a vampire he never once felt happy, never once felt pleased with himself until Elena was with him. It's not long before Kol leans his head down to Elena's ear murmuring her name as he reaches his climax.

He collapses on top of her, both struggling to catch their breath, her hand runs down his spin; causing him to twitch. Elena's eyes remained closed as Kol lifts himself off of her frail body to lie next to her. They laid in silence as Elena's hand intertwined with his; he turned to face her and spoke in a low voice.

'Let's runaway.'

Elena was speechless, of course; they talked about it but she never thought that they would actually do it. She couldn't leave everyone behind that is if there was even anyone for her to leave behind. If she was being honest with herself the only person she'd talked to was Jeremy and even he seemed like he didn't want to.

'Kol—'

'Elena, listen to me; this town hurt you. It's scarred us both. Why should we stay here and have to endure that pain over and over again. Experiencing the agony more times than we should have too. Let's go, get out of this town before it ruins us.' He said sitting up

Elena reached for the blanket and covered her chest as she sat up, 'How can I leave Jeremy, Caroline or Bonnie behind?' was all she said

'Elena, if they wanted to see you; wouldn't they be here? Visiting? Making it seem like they care?' Kol said in an angered tone

He was set on getting out of Mystic Falls, he wanted nothing to do with the town; there were too many memories and now that he was human; he didn't have the ability of turning off his emotions whenever he felt like it. He needed a fresh start and wanted Elena to have one too. Elena kept quiet taking in what he was saying, trying to understand it from his point of view but was overcome by the emotions of leaving everyone she loved behind.

Kol turned to face her as tears filled her eyes; placing his hand on top of hers 'Lena,' he said one of the many names he started calling her 'I don't want to raise my children here.'

Elena's eyes lifted from the bedspread and into his eyes; she smiled as he raised her hand to his lips, 'Love, if we are going to do everything that you want. I don't want a child to see Mystic Falls and think of everything bad; it's too painful here. Plus we could be a new town where no one will think twice about a Mikaelson playing with their child.'

Elena knew there was truth in what he said; they'd each been marked one way or another from Mystic Falls. Her parents, Jenna; John, Isobel; Alaric, Klaus. They were hurt and she hated to admit it but she did want to leave, she wanted to have children that could run around the yard and enjoy life not fear it because of what could happen. But if she was going to get up and leave her entire life behind, she would have to straighten a few things out first.

Kol sat in silence watching as she tried to find the right things to say, 'I want to go away with you but just let me say goodbye to everyone first.' She said gripping his hand

'Anything for you.' He said in a soft tone 'Gather some stuff; then we'll go explore the world, my love.'

Elena watched as Kol stood from the bed, gathered his clothing. She smiled as now she could actually see him getting dressed and doing normal things, rather than one second he was there and the next gone. Kol gave her one last look before he disappeared out the door way.

It been several hours before Elena found the strength to get out of bed, rummaging through her clothes to find something that looked semi-respectable. Heading out the door, she headed to the Salvatore household where all her friends were now currently residing. She stood at the doorway confused as to whether or not she should knock or just walk in, her hand raised in a fist to the door when it quickly opened and Damon stood before her.

'Damon.' She said surprised

'If Kol wants something from us, tell him, he can shove it.' Damon said trying to slam the door in her face but stopped when Elena put her foot out

'I'm not here for him; I'm here to talk to everyone.'

Damon's eyes traveled down Elena's slim figure, trying to remember the days that he and Stefan had so vigorously fought over; he tried to remember every little detail of her body but found himself unable considering she was now in bed with the enemy. Literary. Typically, Elena showing up at their house was nothing more than a blessing but considering who she was now shagging it became more of a torture.

Allowing her access, to his house; she could see almost all her friends inside the mansion; whispering amongst each other until they eyes focused on Elena and the room turned to silence. Elena felt like she was in the middle of a funeral with the eyes peering at her every move and the silence merely sounding like a solemn apology.

'I have to talk to you all.' She said standing before the small group

'Why, you finally break up with Kol?' Caroline said in a snobby attitude

'Let let her finish talking.' Stefan said

'Thank you.' Elena said God that was a word she'd never thought that she would say to Stefan again. She knew deep down he needed an explanation. Hell, both he and Damon did. Tossing aside her thoughts, she began speaking trying so hard to close off the anger that was admitting from the room

It was hard, there was only enough of the cure for two people, Kol stole it from Stefan and gave it to himself and Elena. It was romantically-sad. She wished that she could just disappear be somebody besides herself. After everything, she put her 'friends' through; every sacrifice they had it was all for her. If she was being honest she didn't deserve anything, she didn't deserve the cure; or Kol or just about anything.

Tears filled her eyes as she began speaking, 'First off, I just want to say…I'm sorry for everything that you all went through for me. I didn't deserve any of it and you didn't deserve this. If I had known there were only two dosages of the cure, I would have given it to any of you quicker than I could blink. I'm tired of causing too much pain; I'm tired of hurting everyone even if it was intentionally or not. From now on it stops here. I'm leaving Mystic Falls.' Her heart broke as the words spilled from her lips

Caroline, Bonnie; Jeremy, Matt and Stefan's heart stopped as she finished speaking, leave Mystic Falls; of course that was what everyone wanted but couldn't go out and actually succeed. Usually they wouldn't be worried but it seemed like everything Elena said she wanted to do lately was actually happening. First being a human. Second getting Kol. She was leaving.

Stefan wanted to tell her to stay; he wanted to beg her to take him back and wanted her to stay with him. Forever.

Elena looked into Stefan's eyes and continued jabbing the imaginary sword further down his throat, 'I'm leaving later today and I now that none of you are really in the mood to care, but I just figured that I should tell you.'

Elena pushed back the tears that were forming in her eyes and headed towards the door, trying to leave before anyone else got to voice their opinions. It hurt walking out on the people she grew up with, the people that she had grown to love. A part of her didn't want to leave but she had to shove that feeling deep down inside of her heart so that she could allow everyone in Mystic Falls to get on with their lives.

Elena had one last thing to do before she could go home and start packing, convince Klaus to also leave Mystic Falls. If Elena was going to permanently say goodbye to Mystic Falls, she wanted to make sure that everyone she left behind was safe. Heading to the Mikaelson Mansion and praying that Kol was not there. She raised her hand to knock but before she got her fist close to the wood, the door flew open revealing Klaus who was leaning on the doorframe with a cup of scotch in his hand.

'Couldn't wait to see me? Now could you, Love?' Klaus said smiling at her

'I need to talk to you.' Elena said hating that fact that he and Kol shared the same smile

'In that case, come in.' Klaus said stepping back allowing Elena to enter the Mansion

Elena walked to the living room, slightly afraid to sit on the couch due to the amount of blood that had been stained on the cushions.

'Oh, come on now; love, don't be like that. You enjoyed it when you were a vampire.' Klaus said as he sat on the chair and resumed reading

'What did he promise you?' Elena said taking a seat on the couch and starring at the ground

'What did who promise me?'

'Kol.'

Klaus smiled as he looked up from his papers, 'For a thousand years, I have killed millions in cold blood and for an eternity, I was forced to remember every little scream, every beg; every pled that escapes their mouths. You'd think that turning off your humanity would make it easier to deal but even the best of us vampires still found ourselves vulnerable to the shrills. Finally, I found love letters from this young girl in Italy. She was merely a woman not even old enough to experience life but as I dropped her body, laying there on the table was a letter. Since then, I have found myself drawn to the letters of my victims, keeping them and rereading them over and over again. Not to relive the kill but to realize that I am utterly alone.'

Elena's eyes trailed up from the floor to Klaus as he continued speaking in a soft tone, something that she hadn't hear in a very long time. 'Kol is my brother. My family has had the worst time at finding anything to make them happy. Could it be from the immortality or from our insatiable attitudes, which it may? Though from time to time, I come realize that I love my family. Therefore if one of us has the smallest amount of finding anything that we wanted, why not go for it? Kol has done everything I asked. So be it not, remember that I did not do this for you, Elena. I'm not like everyone else in the town to jump when you say 'jump.' I simply did this for my brother. To that, he cannot ever try to undermine me again, if he does such thing; do not thing that for a second I will not heist to break your neck; where you stand.'

Elena sat in utter shock; she had just witnessed a semi-sweet sentence come from his mouth followed by one of his signature threats. Feeling vulnerable yet safe, she mustered up her courage and carried the conversation to the reason why she showed up the Mikaelson Mansion in the first place.

'What are you going to do now that I will not be in Mystic Falls?' Elena asked

'Darling, you are not the only reason why I'm in Mystic Fall. And for your information, I'm not staying in Mystic Falls anymore. I found a town that has much more to offer than here.' Klaus said as he almost smiled 'So your friends will not be in harm's way.'

'When are you leaving?'

'In a week.'

Elena felt satisfied with that answer and rose to her feet and starting walking towards the door and was stopped by the sudden appearance of Klaus' in front of the door.

'Do not hurt Kol, Rebekah and I will not take the too kindly.' Klaus said opening the door so she could leave

When Elena arrived at her house she headed towards her bedroom and began packing her clothes and souvenirs that she could look at and remember later in life. Meanwhile, Kol had just arrived at the Mikaelson Mansion and was just starting to pack his stuff when he heard footsteps proceed up the stairs to his room.

'How'd you do it?' Klaus asked leaning on the doorframe

'Do what, brother?' Kol said stuffing his bag with random bits of clothing

'Manage to have Elena wrapped around your finger.' Klaus said staggering into the room and slumping down on a chair

'That's what you want to know?' Kol asked smirking

Kol looked back at his brother was looked clearly drunk and stunk of liquor, 'Well, drinking your sorrows away isn't going to get you the girl.' He said grabbing the drink out of his hand

'Tell me, how you manage to get the girl even after almost killing her brother?' Klaus said slurring

'Love.' Was all Kol said sitting on the bed to face his brother 'Even though everything that you and I have done to her family, somehow she managed to find it in herself to forgive and not let the get in the way of what she was really feeling.'

'So, what I have to declare my innocence to Caroline and she will be happily tucked in my arms at night?' Klaus said making himself smile at how ridiculous the sentence sounded out loud

'Nik, I don't know exactly what it is going to take for Caroline to truly see you. What you could do is try to not kill anyone for extended periods of time.' Kol said facing his older brother

Klaus chuckled at his brother, thought their conversation may have been about a girl it was the only real one that they had in years at least one that didn't end in them almost killing each other. Kol watched as his brother, staggered out of his room and into the living room. He smiled and continued packing his clothes

The day had gone by incredibly fast for both Kol and Elena. For Kol, this was nothing than a daily routine to pick up and leave. For Elena, it became harder and harder with every step. Kol walked into Elena's bedroom and mimicked his brother's earlier stance with the door frame, he saw Elena laying on her bed with her head shoved into her pillow; he knew that she was conflicted. That apart of her really wanted to stay and another part of her wanted to leave.

He walked towards the bed, lying flat on his stomach so that he could wrap his arm around her waist. 'You going to be okay, Lena?' he asked planting a kiss on the back of her head

'When are we leaving?' Elena asked, head still in the pillow

'I don't know what you said; it sounded like you were being suffocated.' Kol said as he chuckled

Elena lifted her head from the pillow to face Kol and continued speaking, 'When are we leaving?' she said clearly to Kol

'As soon as you finish packing' Kol said flipping to lie on his back 'then we will be out of her quicker than you think.'

'I'm done packing.' Elena said smiling at Kol

Kol continued starring that roof before he finally looked at Elena and smiled; 'Let's get out of here.'

Kol grabbed their bags putting them inside the truck he 'found' along the highway, after everything was in the car. Elena took one last look at the house and walked to the car. They drove for what seemed like hours, Elena's hand never leaving the comfort of Kol's as they left Mystic Falls behind. Everything was perfect. Everything was still. They could finally breathe in untainted air that hadn't been marked with so much blood at the hands of a supernatural creature.

Fin.


I may write a sequel to this story….maybe like a fast forward to the future, with some little Kol's and Elena's. But who knows. Well, actually; I guess you all may know. So lemme know if I should do a sequel. I have to give a big thank you and shout out to DamonandElena4ever and wileby, even though I am not a fan of Damon and Elena, I'll make an exception…in this case. But in all honesty, out of all my mates that told me this story was only good for two chapters, you two kinda gave me the nudge that I needed to continue writing and putting up with my constant breaks from the story. Thanks for commenting on the story and the multiple reviews.
