A/N: Is it just me or have Kol and Diamond not spent enough time together? This chapter was a bit hard, but fun for me to write. Hope you all enjoy!
A/N(2): There was also a reviewer who said that I needed to "inform" myself about Psychology and that I didn't take Diamond's psychological problems seriously. I took four years of Human Psychology, but mainly focused on Criminal Psychology. Not only that, but I can really relate to Diamond. You know why? Because I AM her in a sense. I know what it's like to always be a sweet-heart, and then for somebody to push you to the point of nearly killing them. Been there. Done that. Having a mental problem doesn't mean you're always acting crazy. If you really knew about Psychology, you would know that some of the most dangerous and lethal serial killers in the world were like everyone else and lead normal lives. I need to 'inform' myself? Sweetie, YOU need to 'inform' yourself. The world isn't just black and white were everything is thrown at you obviously. Sometimes you have to think outside the box and dig a little deeper.
Coping (A.K.A. Annoying Klaus)
I awoke to the feeling of the sun's rays shinning brightly against my eyelids. I gave a small yawn then moved my arms to wrap them around Kol. It was then that I realized Kol was no longer laying on top of me. Hm, he must've moved to the other side of the bed. With my eyes still closed, I reached over to hug him only to realize he wasn't there either. Where was he? I blinked my eyes open several times then slowly rose into a sitting position. I looked around my bed, but there was no sign of him. Maybe he had gone back to his room. Yeah, that had to be it.
Therefore, I quickly rose from my bed and dashed to my closet. I looked around for maybe ten seconds and selected a pair of jean shorts and a green and black striped top. I grabbed some undergarments as well then made a mad dash to the shower. I took a quick warm shower and brushed my teeth. Once I finished, I left my hair natural, only passing a comb through it, and slipped on some small black heels. I was nearly tripping my own feet as I made my way towards Kol's room.
I reached the door and gave it three firm taps.
No response.
He couldn't still be asleep. Kol loved waking up early to mess with his siblings. Not only that, but he really didn't like sleeping that much. Considering he had been sleeping for over a century. Therefore, I tried again. This time adding in.
"Kol. It's me, Dia. Time to get up."
Silence.
Something didn't feel right. There was just something in the back of my head saying something was wrong. I shook it off and said a bit louder.
"Kol, come on! I'll make you breakfast! Please get up!"
Nothing.
That was it. I was going in for it. I closed my eyes then turned the knob and walked in saying.
"Kol, this better not be one of your pranks, and you better be decent."
I was met once again with silence. I slowly opened my eyes and realized the room was empty. The door to his bathroom was wide open and I couldn't hear anything coming from inside. I moved further inside his room and began to look around in an attempt to find him. I looked inside his closet saying.
"Kol, if this is one of your pranks, you're not funny. Come on. Let's just go downstairs, so I can make us some breakfast. I promise to play with you later."
No response.
That nagging feeling only seemed to become more prominent. Something wasn't right. Something was ... missing? ? ?
I scratched the back of my head in confusion then decided that maybe he was already downstairs eating, and I was up here talking to myself like a crazy person. I made my way out of his room and speed-walked down the hallway. I carefully made went down the grand stair case and dashed towards the kitchen.
Before I could make it to the door, it was thrown open and there stood Klaus infront of me. I took a quick step back to let him through, but he merely stood there and glared at me. I knew that even though I hadn't been at fault last night, I would have to apologize to him. Just to keep him content and not trying to slaughter me. It was better to have the most dangerous hybrid in the world as a friend rather than an enemy. So, I carefully began.
"Klaus, about last night. I ... I'm ... I'm sorry. You've been really kind to me in letting me stay here, among other things, and I ... well, I shouldn't have yelled at you. Much less threatened you. B-B-B ... But you have to try to see it from my point of view too. I ... I really care about Kol ... a-a-and you ... you wanted to take him away from me. If something were to happen to him, I don't know ... I don't even want to think what I'd ... Please, accept my apology. I am, honest to God, really sorry. I meant no disrespect."
I stood slightly shaking with my head down awaiting for his response. I wasn't sure how he would react. Would he accept my apology? Would he rip out my lungs? Or, would he simply ignore me and pretend that I didn't exist?
I waited for several seconds until I heard him sigh then say mockingly.
"I had already decided that was going to kill you this morning, but your heartfelt apology has changed my mind."
I quickly looked up at him with a bright smile on my face and said happily.
"Thank you, Klaus. I really am so ... "
"I wouldn't thank me yet, sweet-heart."
My smile didn't falter. I was just so happy he hadn't decided to kill me yet. Nothing he could say could ruin my good mood. Therefore, I waved my hand dismissively and replied.
"I'm okay if you want to take my phone away and ground me, or whatever. Heck, you could have Rebekah slap me again and I'd be ok with that too."
Klaus simply regarded me carefully then gave me one of his signature evil smirks that I secretly loved, but would never admit. He then patted my head and began saying casually.
"I am very glad you seem to be taking all of this so calmly, Diamond."
"Hey, you aren't gonna kill me. That's something to be calm about."
Klaus then passed by me and said triumphantly.
"Fantastic, love. I am very glad you are such a calm person, due to the news I am about to give you. You see, not only did you defy last night, but a certain little brother of mine did too."
I sighed then said.
"Klaus, it wasn't his ... "
"Not only did he defy me. He attacked both Elijah and I and killed all of my servants. He made a big spectacle of himself trying to kill our little sister and Matt, and he found it very humorous to come and make jokes this morning."
I continued to smile and thought to myself. That's a Kol thing to do. I watched as Klaus then turned around to face me and said with a sweet, chilling, smile on his face.
"Therefore, Kol has been ... How did you phrase it? Oh yes, 'grounded' for a while."
What was he talking about? He couldn't ground Kol. Kol was Kol! He wouldn't let himself be ... be ...
Slowly my brain began to go on overdrive and I asked uneasily.
"What happened? What did you do? Where's Kol, Klaus?"
Klaus kept that same look on his face then replied mockingly.
"Consider this punishment for the both of you. Kol is back in that coffin from which he never should've come out of."
My smile dropped and I felt my face contort into pure terror. I backed away from him and screamed.
"NO!"
This couldn't be happening! This couldn't be real! No! No! No! NO!
KOL!
I no longer cared if Klaus saw me cry or not. I clutched hands against my chest and felt my feet give out underneath me. I closed my eyes and began to sob helplessly. Streams and streams of tears cascaded down my face as I cried for Kol. Why? Why did Klaus have to do this? Why when Kol and I were just starting to get closer? How .. How .. could he?
I lifted my hands from my chest and used them cover my face as I cried on the floor. I sobbed into my hands and cried in despair.
"Kol! Why Klaus? Why? I-I-I ... *crying* ... Kol, you promised! ... I-I-I- I can't! Please! *crying* ... Give him back! ... Kol! ... *crying* ... I'm s-s-s sorry! ... Please!"
I then looked up at Klaus and realized he was simply standing there watching me. I stumbled back to my feet then made my way towards him and grabbed him by the front of his shirt. I looked up at him and pleaded.
"I'm begging you! Please! ... Let him go! ... I'm sorry ... I'm so, so, so sorry! But please!"
Klaus grabbed me by the shoulders then pulled me away and said stoically.
"No."
With that, he released me and walked into his study. I remained standing there for several seconds, until I could no longer take it, and I groggily made my way back upstairs. I kicked my shoes somewhere randomly then made my way to my room. I walked back to my bed and slowly slid under the covers. I curled up into a tiny ball and placed the covers over my head as I cried my heart out. I clutched my necklace tightly to my chest as I cried for Kol. It was all my fault. Kol had been daggered because of me. If I had simply stayed home and waited for him, this wouldn't have happened.
I sobbed as I thought back to our first meeting and how he wanted to eat me. I thought about how he had claimed me as his, and had held me so tenderly, yet firmly. How he had burned down the library in an attempt to keep me from leaving him. When he had saved me from being kidnapped. I thought of how I had given him my first kiss. When he had asked me, in his own way, to be his girlfriend. I gave a small laugh as I recalled how he didn't know what a strip club was. I then began crying again as I thought of how he had tenderly given me my necklace. Then I thought of just last night as he had laid with me and I sung him to sleep.
I cared for Kol. I had never once said I loved him, but now that I knew he was no longer with me. It was safe to say that my feelings went beyond just caring. How could Klaus do this? I was vulnerable now. Elena, Damon, and everyone else who didn't like me would come after me. Once word got out that the most dangerous of the Originals had been put down, I would become an easy target. The only reason nobody had come after me yet was because of Kol.
Kol who had been so caring, yet still crazy with me. The only vampire who was still himself despite everything that was happening. The only man with the guts and brains to try and stop a supernatural apocalypse. The vampire who had said he would be mine and actually meant it. I clutched my eyes tightly and breathed in deeply as the tears continued to flow.
I cried for several minutes until I felt like I could cry no more. I clutched my hands tightly around the sheets then threw them off of me. I slowly sat up and wiped my face off and said bravely.
"I'm ... I'm no Bella Swan. I'm Diamond, dammit! And ... and I'm not gonna just lay here and cry like ... like some chicken! I ... I am going to get Kol back!"
(A/N: Here come Diamond's inner struggles and demons guys. Pay attention.)
I wiped my face off some more and slowly began to sway back and forth. I had to come up with a plan. Someone was going to pay for this. Nobody hurt Kol and simply walked away. Someone had to suffer. I then gently pulled my knees up to my chest and continued to sway back and forth. I began to softly hum a sad tune and could feel myself slowly begin to recede into the darkest parts of my mind.
Klaus had to pay for hurting Kol. If there was one thing my dad had taught me, it was that if you ever wanted to make someone suffer. You should never do a direct and frontal attack. You should NEVER do a physical attack either. When you wanted to get back at someone, you should always do something much more damaging and emotional. You should always hit them where it hurts the most. Make them feel something worse than what you are feeling, and I knew just how to get back Klaus.
Since, he thought taking Kol away from me was a good punishment. Then I was going to give him a punishment of my own. I was going to take Caroline away from HIM. The only difference was that I was going to take her away PERMANANTELY. Now, I knew I couldn't personally kill her, but if I played my cards right Rebekah could do it for me. I knew Elijah would be of no help, but I could device a clever plan and have Rebekah kill her without me being directly involved. Not only that, but I also had to find the last white oak stake Kol had hidden away and destroy it. Just in case Klaus figured out it was me and decided to permanently kill Kol as revenge.
As I began to slowly device a plan, it was as if God, the universe, or something, made me remember my grandmother. My sweet grandmother, always so wise, and caring. I began to recall her many sermons and lectures to me about being a good person. I recalled one particular lecture of her telling me, "If someone hurts you and you inact revenge then you are no better than them. I KNOW you are better than that, mija. I raised you better than that. I raised you as a good, loving, and most importantly, forgiving Christian. Don't let all those lies and venom your father tried to teach you stay in your heart. You're the oldest of our family, Dia. Set a good example for the little ones. Be a good role model. Make me proud, sweetie."
I clenched my eyes firmly shut then placed my hands against my head as I felt a huge migraine coming on. I began to rock faster back and forth as a war began inside my mind. I had to avenge Kol. I had to get him back. If I took this sitting down then that would make me look weak, and I was not weak. Then again the morals and values my grandmother had instilled within me would be broken if I took any revenge. I had also made a promise to myself that I would always protect the people I cared about. I had to get Kol, but I couldn't dishonor my grandmother.
I had to be good, but I had to save Kol. Klaus would stop me if I went anywhere near the basement where I was sure Kol was being kept. I had to convince Klaus to give him back to me, but I knew he wouldnt budge no matter how much I pleaded. It was wrong to try and hurt Caroline because of Klaus, but he needed to pay. Then again that would make me a bad person if I hurt her.
I wasn't a bad person.
I was good.
I was a role model to family.
I was raised a good forgiving person.
I wasn't bad.
No, I was good.
I wouldn't hurt Caroline.
No, Caroline was an innocent.
She was a good person just like me.
Yeah, just like me.
I was good.
No, I am good.
I'm a good person.
I know I am.
Ugh! I then began to pass my hands roughly through my hair over and over as my mind slowly began to spiral downward. No, I couldn't let this happen! I was doing so well! I had just started finding my balance! I couldn't go back to crazy Dia! I didn't want to go back to that place! I had to calm down! What had Doctor Devin said? Deep breaths, count to ten, go to my happy place. My happy place was with Kol now, and Kol was no longer with me. My OTHER happy place! What was it?
Music!
Just listen to music, get comfortable, and relax. I then shakily reached over to the side of my bed and grabbed my phone. I quickly scrolled through my songs and began to play 'Lacrimosa' by Kalafina. The soothing, yet powerful tones slowly began to make me relax, and I began to sing along and gently sway to the music.
Once the song ended, I was finally able to give a small sigh of relief. Music could be so soothing and relaxing. Then again the wrong beat could also be very ... very ...
Very ANNOYING!
BINGO!
I quickly grabbed my phone and jumped off the bed. I ran right out the door and quickly descended the stair case. I then made my way to the large television system in the living room and connected my phone to it. I quickly began making a playlist and titled it, "Annoying Klaus". Once all the songs I wanted were downloaded and added, I turned up all the volumes on the system and played my phone. Instantly through the speakers a voice came through singing.
"Cow goes moo, cat goes meow. Birds go tweet and mouse go squeak. ... "
I then got in the middle of the living room and began to dance to the song while singing loudly.
"WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY?"
At that, the door to the study slammed open and out came an annoyed looking Klaus saying.
"What is all this bloody racket?"
I pretended not to hear him and continued on.
"Jacha-chacha-chacha-chow! WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY?"
Klaus then stomped over to me and yelled over the music.
"What the bloody hell do you think you're doing! ?"
I merely smiled and yelled back.
"COPING! I'm trying not to think about Kol!"
He stared at me in confusion for several seconds probably waiting for a punch line, but I just kept on dancing and singing. Klaus knew I was weird, so he seemed to believe me. Since, he shook his head and walked away from me back to his study.
I had finally figured out what to do. I was going to annoy Klaus to the point of insanity with as many annoying and hated songs as I could think of. I was just going to make him think that I was 'coping' with my loss. Klaus would then have no other option than to let me 'cope'.
Therefore, for the next two hours I played tons upon tons of annoying and most hated songs in english and different languages. I played songs like, "#SELFIE, Gangnam Style, The Gummy Bear Song, The Crazy Frog Song, Barbie Girl, Mass Text, Macarena, El Baile Del Gorila, Baby by Bieber, and many more. I had to hand it to him, Klaus was a real tolerant and patient guy. Anyone else would have already come out and yelled at me after about ten minutes, but Klaus was actually being a real good sport. Too good of a sport in my opinion. I felt kind of bad about what I was about to do, but drastic times called for drastic measures. So, I went over to my phone and hesitated only slightly before playing.
"Seven a.m., waking up in the morning. Gotta be fresh, gotta ... "
THAT ladies and gentlemen was the last and final straw.
I saw the door to the study be slammed open so violently that it fell right off its hinges. Klaus looked lethally and royally pissed off. I quickly ducked for cover behind the sofa as I watched him easily pick up a coffee table and fling it straight into the tv. There was a loud crack and minor explosion within the tv, but Klaus didn't appear to be done just yet. He stalked towards the stereo system and began ripping out all the cords and cables. He pulled out the sound bar and stereo system and smashed them on the floor. Then grabbed them again and chucked them viciously against the wall. He proceeded to pull out the coffee table from the tv then slammed his hand inside and began ripping apart the tv from the inside. Dude, that was one pissed off hybrid. The last and final touch was when he picked up the huge bloody tv and proceeded to fling it right out his front window. Glass and pieces of tv flew everywhere and I quickly placed my hands over my head to cover myself.
I slowly lifted my head and saw Klaus standing near the window breathing furiously. Maybe I shouldn't have pissed him off so bad. I gave a small gulp and began to calculate my chances of running out the door without him seeing me. I had to admit they weren't good. I looked around the living room nervously and took in just what a disaster he had made. Yeah, he was mad. Klaus remained breathing heavily for several seconds until he seemed to calm down.
This was my chance! I had to make a run for it before I became hybrid chow! I was about to crawl out of the living room when Klaus flashed to my side and pulled me up by my arm. Man, he was strong. I gently tried to pull my arm away, but he held on tighter. I winced then pointed at his chest and said lamely.
"Big, super strong, invincible hybrid."
I then pointed at me and finished.
"Small, weak, easily-breakable human."
Klaus merely glared at me then shook me and snarled.
"COPING? IS THAT WHAT YOU CALL BLOODY COPING! TWO HOURS OF ATTROCIOUS FILTH THAT YOU HUMANS PASS AS MUSIC!"
I began to become afraid at just how serious and pissed off he was. I started shaking and stuttered.
"M ... M-M-M-My therapist said t t-t-t to ... "
"I COULDN'T BLOODY CARE LESS WHAT YOUR SO CALLED 'THERAPIST' SAYS! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR SUPPOSED 'COPING'! YOU WANT KOL BACK? FINE!"
With that, he then proceeded to drag me across the hallway and down into the basement. As soon as he flicked the light on, I saw one lone casket in the middle of the room. I could feel my heart swell with joy as I realized Klaus hadn't lied to me. He was really going to give me Kol back. Klaus then roughly pulled me forward and shoved me against the casket. I nearly fell over my own feet, but I regained my balance against the coffin. Klaus then moved forward and slammed the lid open so hard it broke right off. He then took hold of the dagger and I leaned in happily waiting for him to pull it out. Before he removed it, he glared at me and snarled.
"If you or Kol cause another one of your little spectacles, not only will I put him back in this coffin. I'll put you in right next to him. Am I understood?"
At this point, I didn't care what his terms for releasing Kol were. All I wanted was Kol back with me safe and sound. So, I gave a firm nod and replied sincerely.
"You got it! Anything! Said and done! You don't have to tell me twice! I'll behave! Scout's honor!"
Klaus regarded me carefully for several seconds then looked away from me and quickly pulled the dagger out of Kol. Klaus then backed away and snarled.
"Since, you wanted my little brother back so bad then YOU are going to be the one to heal him."
With that, he quickly flashed back upstairs, and I heard the firm sound of a lock being put into place. I had to heal him? What did that ... ?
Oh ...
I would have to give Kol my blood, but he had never bitten me. He had fed me his blood, but he had never taken mine. I looked down at Kol's pale face and watched as the color was slowly being restored. I had a couple of minutes at most to make my decision. I had gotten this far. I wasn't going to chicken out now. Hopefully vampire fangs weren't as bad as needles.
Therefore, I stood patiently by Kol's coffin and waited for him to fully awaken. Kol had only been daggered just recently it wouldn't take long for him to wake up. I looked down at his peaceful face and carefully moved my hand to caress his cheek. I was about to pull back when Kol's eyes flashed open and he took a hold of my hand. I yelped as I saw his face instantly change and his fangs come out. I had to stop him from biting me. He needed to be more in control, or he would end up draining me. So, me, being me, did the only thing I could think of. I raised my other hand and firmly bumped his forehead back and said scoldingly.
"Oh no you don't, mister. I'm not a bag of B+."
Kol's faced remained the same, but he looked up at me in confusion. I gave him a warm smile and said.
"I missed you, Kol. Are you okay?"
I saw him narrow his eyes at me then slowly shift his face back to normal. He then began to breathe through his mouth and released my hand. I merely moved my hand up and began to gently carress his hair and said soothingly.
"It's ok, Kol. I'm right here. Let's get you out of ... "
It all happened so fast. One second, Kol was inside the coffin. The next, I was being pushed against the wall with Kol's lips moving hungrily against mine, pinning my arms over my head. My eyes were wide in shock, so I remained unresponsive for several seconds. Several seconds seemed to be too long, since Kol rapidly pulled back and I felt his lips instantly latch on to my throat. His mouth moved expertly and sensually on the right side of my throat. He would kiss and gently bite me on one side then move to the other almost desperately. All of this was a bit over whelming, but I was still able to catch what he would say after each small bite.
"Mine! Mine! Mine! My darling! My Dia! MINE!"
I then felt Kol release one of my hands and begin to move his hand slowly up my stomach and up towards my chest. I quickly used my free hand to grab his and stop him. Kol stopped his hand movement and the attack on my neck and slowly pulled back to look at me. I looked him directly in the eyes and said gently.
"Kol, you know I'm not ready for that. Please don't touch me there."
Kol frowned then said seriously.
"You are mine. You belong to me. Why can't I touch you?"
So, we were back to me being a belonging. If I could, I would kick Klaus in the groin just to see the look on his face. I quickly dispelled those thoughts and focused on Kol. He was full on territorial mode right now. Any wrong answer and someone, namely me, would die. I silently coaxed him to release my other arm, and Kol reluctantly relented. I thought for sure he would back up and give me some room instead I got a surprise. Kol's hands instantly moved on either side of my face caging me in. He then leaned his face closer to me and asked with a mocking smile.
"Well?"
I shifted uneasily then slowly lifted my hand and gently placed it on his cheek. I looked directly into his eyes and said.
"Calm. For me, Kol, please just relax."
Kol merely smirked at me and replied.
"I am calm, darling. Now, why are you not ... "
He stopped mid-sentence and his face and whole demeanor instantly changed. I saw his brows furrow and his face contort into pure fury. He then pulled his left hand back and slammed it viciously into the wall. I jumped utterly afraid then completely froze staring at him in disbelief. What was wrong? What had I said?
My questions were answered when he looked at me with pure rage in his eyes and snarled.
"If you think for one second, I am going to simply hand you over to whoever you opened your legs to. Let me just tell you ... "
SMACK!
The slap I gave him echoed all throughout the basement. My eyes instantly became filled with insulted and saddened tears. I began to pound against his chest as I yelled at him.
"You big, big jerk! How dare you! After all the emotional and psychological torture I went through to get you back! You are such a ... a ... big selfish meanie! How can you say I'm some cheap slut after everything we've been through! I should kick you in the NUTS for being so incosiderate and selfish! Ugh! Just you wait I am ... "
I was then interrupted in my rant as Kol grabbed my wrists then proceeded to kiss me once again. He placed my hands on either side of my head as he continued to kiss me and bite my lower lip asking for entrance. I was still really angry with him, so I bit him back harder and he quickly pulled away. I crossed my arms against my chest and quickly turned my face away from him in defiance. Kol stared at me then surprised me by starting to laugh. Oh, so now he thought this was funny? I'd show him funny. A nice hard kick in his valuables would be absolutely hilarious.
I simply turned to glare at him then looked away again. Kol, still chuckling, wrapped his arms around me and pulled me to his chest. He kissed my temple and said.
"And you still wonder why I thought someone had already taken you, darling? How could any man resist that fire that rages within you, darling? You are much too inviting for your own good."
He was SO not helping his case. I glared at him again and said bluntly.
"I'm going to kick you ... really, really, hard."
Kol simply chuckled then pried my hands away from my chest and held me tightly against him. His hands roamed around my waist and lower back sometimes even carrassing my arms. Meanwhile he kissed my shoulder blade and buried his face in my hair. I felt him breathe in my hair and sigh in content. I gave a small sigh then said calmly.
"I still smell pure to you, don't I?"
Kol merely nodded then replied honestly.
"I had thought you had simply awoken me to say you had found another and were leaving me."
I frowned in confusion and asked curiously.
"What made you think that?"
"You wouldn't let me touch you."
I sighed and replied sincerely.
"I didn't say you couldn't touch me, Kol. I said I didn't want you touching my chest. We are definitely not that far into our relationship just yet. Besides, I would never cheat on you. Cheating would not only be disrespectful to you, but to me as well. I was raised better than that."
I felt Kol simply hum in agreement then begin to kiss softly along my throat. How could I stay angry with him when he was being this affectionate? Therefore, I gently wrapped my arms around his neck and said.
"You need to feed."
Kol gave a small growl then replied teasingly.
"Are you offering, darling?"
I smiled then replied sincerely.
"Yes, I am. Your big brother locked us in here and I'm pretty sure you're not strong enough to get us out just yet. You need blood in order to break down the door."
Kol froze then slowly pulled back and asked.
"Nik, did what?"
I shrugged and replied obviously.
"Klaus is Klaus. I guess this is his own twisted way at getting back at me for annoying him for the past two hours."
Kol simply tilted his head and asked with a smirk.
"Do tell, darling."
At that, I actually laughed and replied.
"Let's just say Klaus doesn't like some of today's music."
Kol instantly started laughing and said.
"Oh, how I wish I had been there to see that, darling."
I giggled and said.
"He was actually a pretty good sport until the very last song. When it started playing he just snapped. You guys are gonna need a new tv and coffee table. Maybe even a new living room cuz he was the definition of pissed off. Anyway, enough about Klaus. We need to get out of here."
I saw Kol tense up then reply bluntly.
"I'll kill you, darling."
I gave a small laugh then replied.
"I'm not going to be all cliche and say, "I trust you. I know you won't hurt me." So, I'm just gonna be me and say, "I know it's a possibility. So, if I feel like you're losing control, I'm gonna bite you back." The only difference is that I'm going to bite you back harder and if possible I'll kick you too."
Kol simply stood infront of me and stared at me with his mouth slightly ajar. I merely tilted my head to the side and smiled at him. Kol quickly broke out of his shock and lunged at me. He quickly picked me up and I instinctly wrapped my legs around his waist. He flashed us against the wall again and began kissing me on the lips sensually. I moved my lips against his gently and simply held on tightly to him. After several seconds of kissing, Kol then leaned his head against my shoulder and stated seriously.
"You are mine, darling. I will never let you go. You are much too special to be roaming around free."
He then began to softly peck me on the lips and started saying.
"My darling. My Diamond. Mine. Mine. I'm never letting you go, darling."
He then looked me in the eyes and asked passionately.
"You are mine. Right, darling? You belong to me. You are my fiery little jewel."
I merely blinked at him and stayed silent. Something was wrong. Kol had gone back to his, 'You are mine' stage. I wonder what could have triggered it. Maybe nearly losing me yesterday and actually losing me today had finally gotten to him. He feared I would leave him again. He wanted me to reassure him that I was his and that I wouldn't leave. Therefore, for the sake of his mental stability I smiled and replied carefully.
"I'm your girlfriend, Kol. I'll do everything in my power to be by your side."
Kol then began pressing his lips against mine again and said.
"As will I, darling. I'll kill anyone and anything you want me too. I'll shower you with gifts and luxuries forever. I'll give you the world if that is what you so wish. You shall no longer be my darling jewel, but my queen. My very own queen. I will do everything in my power to keep you happy, darling. You will not ever even think about any other man."
He then began to kiss me more forcefully and stated darkly.
"And, I shall slaughter any man who even dares look your way. More so, if they dare to touch you. You are mine, and nobody will ever touch you again. I will make sure of that. I will not lose you, Dia. I will not let some other man take my queen."
His passionate words warmed my heart like nothing else, but they also frightened me a bit. Kol was full on possessive mode right now. That wasn't necessarily a good thing. As a matter of fact, that could be a very dangerous thing. Kol was no doubt going to be more aggressive towards people, and may cause problems. I didn't want to give Klaus an excuse to dagger him again. So, I would just have to go along with Kol and wait until his little 'possessive' stage wore off. Kol couldn't be a possessive and territorial vamp for long, right? (A/N: Poor naive Dia. '^_^ )
So, I gave him a gentle kiss on the lips and murmured.
"No one can take me away from you, Kol. I really really like you, so rest assured that I will always be loyal to you."
I then gave him a small smile and continued.
"But right now we need to get out of here. So, you need to concentrate and go ahead and bite me."
Kol tilted his head to the side and said seriously.
"Very well."
He then gently moved my hair back and slowly tilted my head to the right side. I was cautious to place my head near his shoulder. I wasn't kidding around when I said I would bite him back. I took a deep breath then whispered.
"Please try to be gentle."
I saw him nod from the corner of my eye and take a deep breath. There was a small pause before I saw him lean forward. I closed my eyes then only mildly felt as his teeth punctured through my skin. The feeling was similar to that of getting an IV. You only felt a small pinch then nothing. I breathed in slowly and just concentrated on looking ahead. It was a bit weird because I really couldn't feel my blood being drawn out. Or, maybe I was just ignoring that feeling? I wasn't sure.
I just held on to his arm and used my other hand to hold on to his neck. Kol appeared to be in control as I could hear him gulping slowly. There was no doubt that now I felt even more connected to him. It made me very happy knowing that I had been able to help him in some way. To help the vam ... no, the man I cared about feel better.
Kol continued to drink from me until my vision started becoming blurry. I blinked several times and realized Kol was now holding me tighter against him gulping harder. I had a feeling this would happen. So, I quickly dug my fingernails into the back of his neck and hurriedly latched my teeth onto his shoulder. I dug my teeth as hard as I could and pulled on the back of his hair hard. Kol growled and instantly released my throat. He pulled back and I fell to the floor. I held on to the side of my bleeding neck and said dizzily.
"If you bite me again, I'm gonna kick you."
I looked up and around the room and realized Kol seemed to be moving from side to side. Or, was the room moving Kol from side to side? I slightly shook my head in an attempt to clear it, but that only seemed to hurt my throat. I groaned then leaned back against the wall and tried to stay awake. I was so sleepy all of a sudden. It was then that I felt someone grab me and place me in their lap. I then heard Kol begin to say hurriedly.
"Drink, darling. You need to stay awake. Open your eyes, Dia. Look at me."
I slowly did as he told me and looked up to see him. I gave him a small smile and said.
"I think I need glasses, Kol. Everything is all ... "
I felt Kol press something against my mouth and say.
"Drink, darling. I need you to drink."
I moaned then said.
"Ok, and then I can sleep, right?"
Kol didn't answer me and instead replied.
"Drink, darling. Hurry."
Therefore, I slowly opened my mouth and felt something warm and wet being pressed against my lips. I began to gently drink the liquid that was falling in my mouth and I really liked it. It tasted really good. I wanted more. So, I began to suck on whatever Kol was using to give me that drink from heaven. It was so good. I sucked for several seconds until Kol gently pulled it back. I groaned in disappointment and said.
"More."
Kol chuckled then held me tighter against him and said.
"You will be like me, darling. Just not yet."
I took several deep breaths then blinked again and realized my vision was no longer blurry. I slowly lifted my hand to my throat and realized it wasn't bleeding anymore. I saw Kol then gently take my bloody hand and begin to lick the blood off my fingers and wrist. I merely sighed then leaned against his chest and said jokingly.
"You really didn't want me to kick you, huh?"
Kol laughed then replied teasingly.
"That's right, darling. If you had kicked me, I wouldn't have been able to resist in taking you against the wall and proving my dominance over you."
He then leaned down to my ear whispered seductively.
"Over and over again until you screamed exactly who you belonged to."
I blushed a deep red and quickly looked down. Kol instantly took a hold of my chin and raised my head to kiss me on the lips. I carefully kissed him back and said.
"We should get out of here."
Kol nodded in agreement and I slowly rose to my feet. Kol quickly stood up and wrapped his arms around my waist. We then made our way to the door and Kol glared at it. He then slowly released my waist and said.
"Stand behind me, darling."
I quickly did as I was told and hid behind him. Kol paused for a couple of seconds then quickly lifted his foot up and viciously kicked the door down. The door immediately burst open and fell down with a bang. Kol then reached behind him and pulled me forward. He quickly took my hand in his and dragged me out of the suffocating basement.
As soon as we walked past the living room, Kol froze and started laughing. I frowned slightly then said.
"Yeah, I told you I had really pissed him off."
Kol simply kept on laughing then kissed my knuckles and said.
"I will never let you go, darling. You are far too amusing."
I pulled my hands back then gently kissed his cheek. I then sighed and pulled myself away from him. I turned around and was just about to start digging through all the mess for my phone. When Kol instantly hugged me from behind and pulled me tightly to his chest. I blinked several times then turned back to look at him and asked perplexed.
"Um, Kol?"
Kol simply narrowed his eyes at me and said seriously.
"Don't do that."
I blinked then asked in confusion.
"Do what?"
Kol remained with the same serious look on his face and continued.
"Walk away from me. Don't do that. I don't like it."
What on earth had gotten into him? Why was he acting this way? I was just about to question him when the front the door slowly opened. I looked over to it and realized it was only Elijah and he did not seem happy. As soon as he saw us, he narrowed his eyes and questioned calmly.
"Would somebody please explain to me why our television set is in the front lawn, and why the living room is in such disorder?"
Luckily, Klaus decided to make his appearance right then. So, me, being me, instantly pointed at Klaus. Kol then quickly followed my lead and pointed at Klaus too. Elijah simply regarded us carefully then looked over at Klaus and asked.
"Niklaus?"
Klaus instantly glared at both of us and replied.
"If we are being technical here, it was really all Diamond's fault."
"Hey! That's not true!"
Klaus was about to say something when Kol interrupted and said.
"Nik! So, good to see you again big brother! Tell me, how long do you think I'm going to give your precious Caroline to live before I rip HER liver out and hand it to you as an early birthday gift? A week? An hour? A couple of seconds?"
Kol then wagged his finger at Klaus mockingly then said.
"Tsk, tsk, Nik. You shouldn't have daggered me. Now, I'm angry and vengeful. Who knows what I'll do?"
It was then Elijah who said.
"You daggered Kol?"
Klaus looked like he was getting pissed off again, so I clutched tightly onto Kol's arm and whispered.
"Kol, stop it."
Kol simply chuckled and was about to say something else when I warned him.
"I'll kick you, Kol. That's enough."
Klaus simply glared at us then looked over at Elijah and said uncaringly.
"He deserved it, and he's about to be put to sleep again, along with his little girlfriend."
Kol froze then released me and started making his way towards Klaus snarling.
"Don't threaten her, Nik."
Klaus scoffed then replied.
"I'll do what I want, and I mean it, Kol. I still have a dagger with your name on it. So, you ..."
Kol simply chuckled then kept advancing on him and said.
"Again with your dagger threats, Nik? They never scared me before, and they don't scare me now. I've got my precious little jewel that needs me and I will not let anything or anyone come between us. So, rest assured that you won't be able to catch me off guard next time. If you try to dagger me again what happened in Spain will be nothing to the blood bath I will unleash upon this town. Starting with your precious Caroline."
Kol was just about to reach Klaus when I quickly moved and stood infront of Kol. I placed my hands on his chest and began pushing him back saying.
"No, no, no, no, no, no. No! Let's back up. There is no need for anymore violence and threats. Kol. Kol. Kol! I'm talking to you! Back up. You guys are siblings. You shouldn't be threatening each other and innocent people over pety things such as your pride."
Then I looked back at Klaus and said.
"Both of you need to chill out. This stopped being funny a long time ago."
I then placed my hands on my hips and stood in between them saying.
"You guys are over a thousand years old and you still act like a couple of little kids. Apparently, Elijah was the only one to have actually matured over the years. You two should be ashamed of yourselves for acting and treating each other so badly."
At this, both Klaus and Kol looked at me with slightly offended looks on their faces. They both then glared at each other and said at the same time.
"He started it!"
Once again a round of yelling and pointing fingers started. I looked over at Elijah and asked.
"How could you stand it?"
Elijah smiled at me then replied.
"My maturity and patience didn't develop on its own, Diamond."
I huffed then proceeded to ignore them as I looked around the living room for my phone. Poor Elijah seemed to have gotten caught in the middle. He was carefully trying not to take sides, but Klaus and Kol were stubborn. I finally found my phone lying under the rug and placed it in my back pocket. It was then that I heard someone yell.
"ENOUGH!"
I was slightly surprised to see it had been Elijah who had yelled. Elijah pressed his lips together in anger then said.
"Niklaus, considering we don't have any staff memebers at the moment, YOU will have to clean up this destruction."
He then looked at Kol and said.
"Also, considering it was your selfish and rash actions that led us to longer have any staff, Kol. You will help with this mess as well."
Kol then glared at him and snapped.
"No bloody way! Nik did this! I didn't ... "
"I don't want to hear it Kol!"
With that, Elijah turned his back on them and stomped to the library slamming the door behind him. Wow, another note to self. Don't make a mess. It pisses Elijah off. I merely gave a small sigh then said.
"I'll help too."
Both brothers simply stood across from each other glaring. Neither of them willing to back down.
Men.
I merely ignored them and made my way to the small closet in the hallway. I quickly pulled out a broom, dust pan, trashbags, and other cleaning utensils I would need. I brought everything to the living room and placed them near a small table. I moved to the corner of the room, closest to the window, and began to sweep all the glass and debris. I gathered it all in a small pile then lifted the broom and began to smash the remaining glass that was still on the window. I briefly heard Kol say.
"Dia, you're gonna cut yourself. Stop it."
I ignored him and continued breaking the glass. The majority of it was falling outside anyways, so I was good. Once there was no glass on the window, I swept the few pieces that had fallen inside into the same pile. I then started sweeping all around the couches and corners of the house. I noticed Kol and Klaus were still glaring at each other refusing to move. I huffed then said.
"You two are such guys. There's nothing wrong with cleaning your own house. Lots of men do it."
I stopped sweeping then looked at both of them and asked annoyed.
"Don't tell me you two still believe that women are supposed to do all the cleaning and cooking?"
My jaw fell open as I watched the slightly guilty looks on their faces. Klaus looked away from me and Kol instantly became very interested in his shoes. I began to slightly shake in anger and fury. I glared at both of them then slammed the broom on the floor and exclaimed.
"You sexist pigs! You can do all the cleaning then! And if you don't, I'm telling Elijah!"
I then stormed right past them and said.
"Un-freaking-believable! Men these days!"
I then heard Kol yelling after me.
"Darling, that's not what I meant! Dia! Come back!"
I stormed into the kitchen and sat down near the little island. Kol quickly came in after me and said.
"Darling, let me explain."
I glared at him then said.
"Go clean, Kol. I'm not gonna clean it up for you."
Kol then sat beside me and quickly pulled me to sit on his lap. I merely narrowed my eyes at him and said.
"Go clean, or I'm telling Elijah."
Kol rolled his eyes at me and was going to say something when I interrupted him and said.
"I'm going to make everyone lunch Kol. I'm pretty sure Elijah and Klaus have only been drinking blood bags. Since, somebody killed all the staff. I still haven't scolded you about that too."
Kol scoffed and replied arrogantly.
"I'm not apologizing for that because I don't regret it."
I narrowed my eyes at him and replied slightly peeved.
"I'm not asking you to apologize. I simply want you to know that it doesn't bother me if you kill people to feed because that's your natural food source. What does bother me is when you kill people for no reason."
Kol then seemed to become slightly defensive and stated seriously.
"This is how I am, Dia. I thought you said you liked me just how I am. Were you lying to me? Because that would be very hypocritical of you."
Oh, so now I was the hypocrite? Mister. You are mine, but when you piss me off I get with sluts? I wanted to throw that back at him, but decided not to. I simply breathed in deeply and replied.
"I'm not telling you I want you to change, Kol. That never once came out of my mouth."
Kol pressed on and said.
"But it was implied."
I looked at him with a small glare and responded.
"No, it wasn't. I was merely stating a fact. It bothers me when you kill people for no reason. By me saying that, doesn't mean I want you to change. I was merely telling you something about myself."
Kol then rolled his eyes and said.
"Something that you wish will reach my heart and make me change. I don't like humans, they are nothing but cattle for the taking. Sometimes they are for amusement, but that is only temporary."
I froze in his embrace then replied quietly.
"I see."
I then calmly stood up from his lap and made my way to the fridge. I began to pull out the ingredients I would need to make lunch. I set up the dishes I would need as well. Meanwhile, I could feel Kol's eyes locked on me like a hawk. It took him several minutes, but he finally caught on. He groaned then said annoyed.
"Darling, that's not what I meant."
I began to carefully cut some vegetables and said calmly.
"You seem to be saying things you don't mean a lot today, Kol."
I set up a pan with some vegetable oil and let it get hot. I then pulled out some skirt steak and began seasoning it just like mom had taught me. I then set up another pan and got started on some rice. I became engrossed in my cooking and simply said to him.
"You need to go help Klaus clean, Kol. Or, he's going to tell Elijah on you."
I was mixing the rice when I felt him come and hug me from behind. I slightly jumped then said.
"Kol! You're gonna make me burn myself. Let go."
He didn't give me the cliche, "never". He gave me a very firm and authoritive.
"No. Now, turn around and talk to me, Dia."
I huffed then replied firmly.
"Go away, Kol. Let me cook."
He then firmly spun me around and said.
"I said, "Talk to me, Dia." I am not doing this little teenage drama with you. I have enough of it already with Nik and Bekah. I don't need you to start too. So, I said, "Humans are useless cows for my amusement." So, what? You are not just any of those humans. You are MY human. You do not fall under the same category. End of story. So, stop being mad at me. I don't like it."
I gawked at him with my mouth slightly open then narrowed my eyes at him. Kol glared at me and said.
"I told you to stop, Dia."
I scoffed at him and turned around back to the stove. I began shaking the pan when Kol turned me around again and said.
"Dia, I'm warning you. Quit glaring at me."
"Then don't look at me, Kol. Simple as that."
Kol then pulled me away from the stove and lifted me up in his arms and said.
"I'm not going to apologize."
"I wasn't expecting you to."
Kol frowned in confusion, but then said firmly.
"I'm not going to change."
I gave him a small smile and replied sincerely.
"I don't want you to."
Kol then gently placed me down and said.
"You are confusing me, Dia."
I gave a small laugh then turned back to the stove and turned off the flames. I turned to Kol and replied calmly.
"No, you confused yourself. I DO like you for you, Kol. I don't want you to change. If you did change for me then I probably wouldn't like you anymore. I respect you for being yourself despite what everybody else says. You have this attitude and this presence to you that instantly draws me. It's not just your gorgeous face and eyes though those are a bit of a bonus. What I truly like and admire about you is how you are so honest and loyal to yourself. I truly do respect you. Just because some things you do may bother me that doesn't mean I want you to change. I was merely speaking my mind. I mean, I do have that right in our relationship. I have the right to voice my opinions about certain things you do. Just like you have the right to voice your opinions about the things I do. Does that mean we'll change? Probably not, but we do create that freedom and confidence between us to voice our thoughts to each other. Besides, we're both a bit nuts in the head. So, nine times out of ten, we're probably going to end up agreeing."
I then went over to him and gave him a small kiss on the cheek. Then I gave him a sweet hug and said with a smile.
"You really should go help, Klaus. He's going to end up cleaning everything and Elijah's going to make you do something else. Come on, Kol. Cleaning's not that hard."
Kol then wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me passionately on the lips. I kissed him back gently and said with a smile.
"Kol. Go clean."
He huffed then replied.
"Fine, I'll go, but I demand a reward for this."
I raised my eyebrows and said.
"I'm cooking for you."
Kol shook his head and replied stubbornly.
"That doesn't count."
I sighed then said.
"Deal. I'll reward you later."
Kol instantly smirked at me and replied.
"I am deeply looking forward to that, darling."
I simply laughed then removed his arms from around me and said.
"Go."
He rolled his eyes then walked out of the kitchen. It didn't escape my notice how he left the kitchen door wide open where he could see me.
I walked back to the stove and turned it back on. I quickly made the rice, mexican style, and set it aside. I then carefully began cutting the seasoned skirt steak. It was becoming a little boring all by myself in the kitchen. So, I decided to play some music to keep me entertained. I pulled my cell phone from my back pocket and started playing, 'MAMACITA' by Super Junior. I began moving my head to the beat as I cut the steak. Once I finshed I spun around and placed the cut steak on the pan. I made sure to make the steak nice and soft before I danced back to the table and grabbed the freshly cut vegetables. I poured them into the pan as well and began to stir them gently.
There was something missing to the steak though. It just didn't seem to smell right. So, I decided to make some of my grandmother's secret salsa sauce. It was a good thing Elijah or whoever had packed the fridge like a grocery store. My grandmother's secret salsa sauce wasn't really that much of a secret, since it could be made with normal every day grocery items. I pulled out a blender and began making the sauce. I added it just in time before the steak was done and quickly mixed it in. Now, it smelt good.
I then proceeded to set up all the silverware on the table and serve everybody's plate. Once I finshed, I turned off my music and called out.
"Kol! Klaus! Elijah! I made lunch!"
Kol was instantly in the kitchen by my side. Klaus came behind him and Elijah shortly followed. Elijah seemed confused at first then took a whiff of the air and said.
"My, it smells delicious in here. Do you mind sharing what you have prepared Diamond?"
I blushed at him compliment then replied.
"Uh, it's nothing really. Just some spicy cut steak and some Mexican rice. My family is primarily hispanic, so we make food a bit differently than others. I hope you guys like it and if you don't that's okay. You don't have to eat it."
They all gave me a firm nod and went to sit at the table. Kol was very firm about making me sit beside him. I gave him a small smile and sat with him. I then looked over at Elijah and said.
"I also saved Rebekah a plate, Elijah. It's in the microwave. Just incase she shows up hungry. She can eat that."
Elijah gave me a small smile and replied politely.
"Thank you, Diamond. I'll make sure to let Rebekah know."
I then felt Kol tug on my arm and say mischievously.
"I'm hungry, Dia. Feed me."
I sighed then said with a small smile.
"You're so spoiled, Kol."
It was Klaus who finally spoke and said plainly.
"It's because you spoil him. No other woman has ever fought as hard as you for him. That's why he enjoys the attention you give him. Then again Kol always has been a bit of a spoiled brat."
Kol glared at him and was about to retaliate when I picked up his spoon and grabbed a handful of rice. I carefully held it up to him and said sweetly.
"Come on, Kol. You wanted me to feed you. Open up."
Kol smirked at Klaus then opened his mouth and let me feed him. I heard Elijah clear his throat and Klaus scoff, but I ignored them. I then proceeded to keep on feeding Kol. Some minutes later, I realized they had no drinks. So, I rose from my seat and poured them all some orange juice. They thanked me and I went right back to feeding Kol until he finished. I ended up eating last by myself as Elijah and Klaus had quickly finished eating and left the table. I guess me feeding Kol had been a bit too much for them. The good thing was they has actually eaten all of it. So, that meant they had liked my cooking. Good for me!
Kol had remained patiently by my side tickling my sides every so often, or offering to feed me too. I politely refused and simply finished my meal on my own. I then stood from the table and gathered up all of the dirty dishes. The good thing was that they had a dishwasher. I just had to stick the plates in there and I would be good. Kol continously kept teasing me about him now wanting me to cook for him more, help him wake up, and the most embarrasing, help him get changed. I kept scolding him to stop, but that only made him tease me more. So, I eventually just gave up.
Once all the dishes were clean and put up, I decided to do an inspection of my own of the living room. I looked over at Kol and said.
"I'm going to go check and see if you cleaned up right, Kol. There will be no reward if it's still messy."
Kol merely chuckled and replied confidently.
"It is as spotless as this silverware, darling."
I smiled then replied.
"We'll see."
I then walked out to the living room with Kol right behind me. I looked around and was surprised to see that it was actually clean. There was no broken glass or debris on the floor and the furniture appeared to be gone as well. Maybe Klaus was going to get some new furniture. How had they managed to clean without killing each other though?
I gave an approving nod of their handiwork then turned to Kol and said.
"You guys did a good job. I'm proud of you Kol."
Kol smirked and replied.
"Naturally, I did a good job, darling. I told you I would get rid of all the mess."
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that they had left the broom lying against the wall. I shook my head then said.
"You guys forgot to put up the broom, but that's ok. I'm not taking away any points for that."
I walked past him and grabbed the broom. I then made my way to the closet in the hallway to put it up. I very distinctly heard Kol yell, "Dia, wait!", before I opened the door and a coffee table and an even more destroyed television set came crashing down near my feet. I was barely able to avoid getting crushed by all the mess. I looked at all of it and realized all the glass and broken pieces of furniture had been shoved in there too. I clenched my fists tightly in anger then yelled furiously.
"KOL!"
I heard Kol laugh then reply sarcastically.
"That's not what I meant, darling!"
