A/N Thank you all for reviewing the last chapter it means a lot to me! This chapter has been the hardest to type because there is so much angst and I hope some of you aren't mad at me. There will be a lot angst in this story but I hope you all keep reading!

"What are you saying?"

Klaus chuckled, chewing on his food before he spoke."I have enough hybrids now to last me a few good years but I will be wanting more. I'm offering you a way out, Elena."Klaus said, leaning back in his chair.

"You can live a full human life, have children with your husband and you will be under our protection."

Stefan shook his head."And in five hundred years or so you'll have another doppleganger."

Nikola nodded."It's a good deal. It won't be you who'll die, it'll be someone else."

"I don't want anyone to die because of me."

"Everyone dies if you don't take this deal."Nikola replied.

Klaus nodded."She's right."

Klaus was sitting at the head of the table as was Elijah at the other side. Rebekah was sitting at the left of Klaus with Finn beside her. Beside Finn sat Nikola and Kol and at the other side of the table sat the Salvatore brothers and Elena. The rest of the families had left and the Salvatore's with Elena had stayed behind to chat about how they were supposed to live in the same town as the Mikaelson's. Elena sat in between Damon and Stefan, sitting on her wine in a nervous manner as they spoke back and forth.

"So what do you say, Elena?"

Elena opened her mouth to reply but Damon broke in, shaking his head."No deal. How about you and your psycho family leave town?"

"How about I torture you until you beg for death, darling?" Kol purred from beside Nikola.

"How about no?"

"I just want to live." Elena said.

"You can live, love, as long as you keep to the deal. Your children will be safe, your grandchildren will be safe and in five hundred years i'll have more of my hybrids."Klaus tried to fake soothe her, a smile on his face.

"It is a good deal."

Nikola nodded and turned back to her plate of food, finishing her wine.

Nikola's eyes narrowed when she noticed Damon staring at her, a look of wonderment on his face."What are you staring at?"

"I was wondering where I saw you from."

"I'm very famous."She proudly stated, smiling at her sire."Books have been written about me, many worship at my feet, are you one of those worshippers, love?"

"No I was in New York in 1912 and I think our paths crossed. Don't you remember?"

Nikola shook her head, bringing her fork to her mouth."You're not that memorable."

Kol and Klaus chuckled, nodding as the waiters poured them more wine.

"I think I also passed Kol, too."He said, turning to Kol."Were you in New York in 1912?"

"I was."Kol answered, sipping on his wine."I came across an old witch friend of mine."

"What about you, Nikola?"

Klaus answered instead, nodding."I sent her to retrieve Kol. He was having too much fun and bringing attention to himself."

Damon's lips formed a curious 'O' as he thought before his lips curved up into a smirk. The room suddenly went tense because of Damon and they all looked at him, wondering what he was so amused about.

"So nothing...intimate?"

"Of course not."

"She wishes." Kol chuckled.

Kol and Nikola shared a confused look while Klaus frowned, looking interested.

"Why are you asking this?"

Damon simply replied."They seemed close when I saw the at the Plaza."

Nikola and Kol froze while Rebekah, Finn and Elijah frowned.

Klaus joined his hands in front of him, eyes darkening dangerously."What are you saying?"

Damon smirked, leaning back in his chair.

"I'm saying that your brother and your girl have been sneaking around behind your back."

"Nik!...NIK!"

She demanded his attention from across the table, standing up Klaus was pacing back and forth, mumbling underneath his breath angrily. She knew this Klaus, it was the worst level he could get to. His paranoid mind took over him and he was thinking all sorts of horrid things. Kol had Damon up against the wall and was choking him while Niko had his hands around Stefan's throat.

"Have you been messing around with your brother's girl?"Damon asked, wincing when Kol squeezed his throat.

He turned to Nikola, smirking."Have you been having naughty thoghts about your sire's brother?"He tutted, shaking his head."Bad girl.

"Shut up!"Nikola screamed at Damon.

"How dare you?"Kol growled to the Salvatore."Is that an accusation? Against an Original?"

Damon chuckled, despite his pain and nodded."Y-Yeah, I suppose it is."

"Nothing happened!"

Klaus looked up then, his eyes dark and wild.

"How can I be sure?!"

"Because-"

Kol was cut off by Nikola.

"It's Kol!"She laughed, frowning at him, wondering why he was doubting her."He repulses me. Besides, he's your brother, I wound never do that. You know that."

"Hey!"Kol butted in, looking offended."Less of the insults, please."

Klaus cruelly laughed, downing his drink in one go before he poured another."I don't know anything anymore. Damon knows his life depends on his words."

"That's why he's saying it."Rebekah piped up, glaring at Damon angrily. She didn't believe it for a moment, Nikola would never do something like that to her brother, she adored him."Because his life depends on it."

"Niklaus, you cannot honestly believe this?"Finn asked, gesturing to Elena and Damon."The boy is clearly lying."

Nikola flashed over to her sire and stood in front of him, reaching up. Kol watched, a blank look on his face as she whispered to Klaus. She cupped his face, forcing him to look at her and he did. He believed her, he truly did but there was a voice in the back of his paranoid mind telling him the opposite. That she had gotten bored of him and had picked his own brother over him, like he had feared for over a thousand years.

"Nothing happened."She said to him, smiling at him."I promise."

"I-"

"Nik, I have been around you for a thousand years. You are who i'm loyal to, nobody else in the world means as much to me. I would never do that."

He pulled away from her, gesturing to the door.

"Get out."

"Brother-"Elijah started.

"Stay out of this."

Her life flashed before her eyes then. She suddenly couldn't breathe.

She shook as she spoke."What?"

Klaus pointed at the door, growling at her."Get out and don't come back. The both of you."

"Nik-"

He threw his glass at her, and Kol pulled her aside just before it hit her and it smashed against the wall behind her, shards of glass falling to the ground. Kol's eyes widened in shock as he watched Nikola shake at this, clearly shaken by his actions.

She whimpered in fear, keeping close to the youngest Mikaelson brother as Klaus growled angrily, his eyes flashing amber. Niko stood up, his eyes darkening at Klaus' actions towards his sister. He usually would never go against Klaus but this was the last straw, nobody, even Klaus Mikaelson, spoke to his sister like that.

"That's enough!"Niko yelled at Klaus, glaring at him."I'm sick of this."

"Niko,"Kol started, glancing at his vampire."Stay out of this. I don't want you banished either."

"But-"

"I'm not asking, i'm telling."

Niko reluctantly nodded, sitting back down but he still glared at Klaus.

"GET OUT!"

She swallowed the lump in her throat, tears stinging her eyes as she backed away from him, nodding.

"Nikola, don't."Rebekah begged Nikola, tears filling her eyes."Don't leave. Kol, please."

Throwing Damon aside, Kol followed her, shaking his head in anger, leading her out of the room. Elijah stared after them, his eyes wide with shock while Finn copied him, just as shocked as the rest of them. He had only been with them for a hundred years at the start but he knew and had seen how much Nikola loved her sire, she was utterly devoted to him.

She would never betray him.

"As you wish, brother."

Damon leaned back against the wall, massaging his throat.

His plan had worked.

To get Klaus' attention away from Elena.

The Grill—An Hour Later

"A bourbon, please."

The bartender nodded and went to fetch her drink but she stopped him.

"Wait! Just bring me a glass and the entire bottle." She said.

"Of course."

The bartender nodded and walked away to get her drink and she sat down, running a hand through her hair as she sighed angrily. She couldn't believe that Klaus would speak to her in such a way. He had been mad at her before but not at her specifically, she had been around to calm him down when he had been mad and he had snapped at her a few times.

She just couldn't under why he would believe someone over her.

She was loyal to him and him alone.

"Want some company, darling?"

She looked up at the voice and turned her head, eyes landing on Kol standing next to her.

"As long as you haven't come to yell at me."

"I don't yell, love."Kol said, sitting next to her as he ordered himself a drink."I'll have whatever she's having."

"Is it true?"

Playing dumb, she asked."Is what true?"

"Have you been having naughty thoughts about yours truly?" He smirked, leaning over to her.

She rolled her eyes and shook her head."I hunted you down in 1912 to retrieve you and that's it. Klaus asked me to because he was busy with New Orleans. You know nothing happened. Damon Salvatore must have crossed our path and decided to use it against me."

"I was very drunk at that time. I can't be sure if nothing happened." He joked.

"Not funny. But you were so drunk you managed to escape."

"It's survival of the fittest, darling." Kol shrugged, still smirking.

She rolled her eyes again, sighing."I just don't get why he would believe his words over mine. I've never lied to him."

"He doesn't believe it."Kol said, chuckling."He knows it's not true. He's just reacting out of his insecurities. He's always been worried about you and I."

"What?"

"Don't tell me you haven't noticed?"Kol said, sipping his drink when the bartender placed it in front of him."We've never truly been alone together and if we have my brother has always found a way to worm himself in. It's been that way for a thousand years. He doesn't trust you and I alone together not because he doesn't trust you but because he doesn't trust himself not to dagger me for all eternity if I even tried something."

"I never noticed."

"Then you're not as smart as you seem, love."

She glared at him.

"We're alone now."

He chuckled, downing his drink."And we're going to get legless."

He raised his glass and reached out.

"Are you in, darling?"

She stared at him for a long moment before sighing.

She smiled, holding out her glass.

They clinked together before she nodded.

"I'm in."

Mikaelson Mansion

"You know that Nikola has never lied to you, Niklaus, you know that her life is devoted to making you happy."

Elijah turned to the his brother who was sitting on his study chair, facing away from him, looking at the painting of Nikola hanging on his wall. He had sketched it a thousand years before when they first met and it had been with him ever since. They had forced their guests to leave after also forcing them to agree to the deal. Damon had gotten badly beaten up by the hybrid king who had tossed him out on his ear.

"I know."

"Then why did you do it?"

"Because she will, one day, walk out, brother." Klaus blankly replied, eyes not moving from the painting."She will get bored and she will leave, I know it."

"She wouldn't do that to you."

"How do you know that?"Klaus asked, turning around on his chair, staring up at his brother with an angered expression."How can you be sure?"

Elijah sighed as he placed his hand on Klaus' shoulder."Because of the way she looks at you."

Elijah knew that, deep down, Klaus didn't believe Damon's words. But, like he always did, he had reacted with anger and had lashed out because deep down he feared that happening. He feared her loving someone more than him and since he had always been suspicious of his youngest brother with Nikola he had overacted

He didn't truly believe the words.

But he feared it.

"Sort this out, Niklaus, before you lose her for good."

He squeezed Klaus' shoulder before he turned and walked out.

Leaving Klaus all alone.

Later

"You are delicious."

"That she is."Kol purred, tipping his head back in pleasure, blood dripping from his fangs."Virgins always are."

Nikola giggled against Kol who was holding her up as she sank her fangs back into the girl's neck, wrapping her arms around her and pulling her close. A hungry growl ripped from her throat as she moaned, draining the sobbing girl dry. Kol leaned against the bar as he watched, his eyes darkening with lust as he watched the female vampire rock gently against the other female, humming low in her throat to the music.

"That's a sight."

The female vampire lifted her head, letting the girl drop to the ground.

"You're disgusting."

He tutted, shaking his head at her.

"I'm charming."He suddenly pushed her against the wall with his hips, hand coming forward before he ran his knuckles down her cheek, smirking at her."Isn't that right, darling?"

She gasped, pushing his hand away from her in anger, glaring at him.

"What are you doing?"

Kol looked her over with an amused smile, his eyebrow raising at her words.

"Do not tell me you haven't thought about it."

Nikola felt a shiver run up her spine when Kol's hand moved down her arm until it settled on her hip. Her eyes followed as he squeezed her hip, making her jump a little."I haven't. You repulse me."

"You can't lie to a liar, darling."Kol smiled, stepping closer, making her back up against the wall behind her."You can't tell me in one thousand years you have not once thought about you and I because I have. Many times."

"Of course you have. You'd love to use me to screw over Nik."She hissed at him, grabbing the hand that was on her hip and trying to remove it."You're sick like that."

She rolled her eyes when she couldn't move his hand from her hip, it was like fighting a brick wall. Eventually he allowed it but quickly grabbed her hand with his own and pinned it above her head, his hand trapping hers. She gasped as he pressed against her, his other hand lifting her chin and forcing her to look at him.

"I am. I have told you many times."He chuckled, leaning closer, his lips brushing her ear."I'm not a nice man. Neither is my brother and i'm sure that he hasn't met your needs for a thousand years. Doesn't it get tiring being perfect for him all the time? Being loyal to my brother with his paranoia. He's always been paranoid about you and I."

"With good reason."

"I'm not denying that."Kol shook his head, squeezing her hand that was trapped in his own, making her flinch."But look at tonight. After one thousand years of you being loyal he still doubts you. After a millennium of you fighting by his side, putting his needs before your own he still listens to another above you. He banished you."

"He was angry. He doesn't mean it."

"You do know that people are more likely to tell the truth when they're angry, don't you? They don't think and it just comes out, they say it doesn't mean anything but it does. Nik told you his darkest thoughts and he didn't listen to you. He secretly thinks them but covers them up because he doesn't want to lose you."

"And what do you want?"

"Believe it or not, darling, I want to help."

She laughed at him, not believing a word he said.

"You really expect me to believe that?"

"Yes."He said without hesitating, leaning closer."You need someone on your side. Look at myself and Niko. I have never asked him to choose between myself or anyone, I have never controlled his life because I know that he needs free will. You've never had free will, you've never turned anyone because Nik believes you'd love them more than you love him. You have no-one fighting your side because you're trapped with Nik. You've never had a taste of freedom, love."

Her breathing hitched as his hands cupped her hips again, bringing her lower half closer to his. Her eyes fluttered as his large hands moved downwards, fingers near her inner thighs. His fingers pulled at her dress, itching it up a little.

His eyes flickered between her lips and her eyes."Let me be that taste of freedom."

She didn't believe him, not for a moment. Kol was conniving and a liar, just like herself and Klaus. But she couldn't trust him like she did her sire, not for a second. This was something she had never picturing herself considering. She had a bitter relationship with Kol, always had. He had always tried to get in between herself and her sire.

But she respected him for everything he had taught her brother.

Kol was Niko's world and she had guess that he did have some good in him because of that, Kol wasn't a complete monster.

She looked down at his lips as he leaned closer, his eyes watching her reaction.

Nikola didn't pull away, she didn't slap him instead she just stood there, watching him. He smirked, he had been after the female vampire for a thousand years, wondering what it would be like to be the centre of her world like his brother was. He wasn't in love with Nikola because Kol Mikaelson didn't believe in love, he had lost his humanity a long time ago but she did intrigue him. No woman had been able to resist him for so long, they usually fell at his feet.

But she hadn't.

And he liked that.

Nikola inhaled sharply as Kol's lips brushed hers, the feeling of it making a shiver run up her spine. She jumped as she felt his hands squeeze her thighs, pulling her closer to him, her dress hitching up higher as his fingers itched it up again.

She felt him press a harsh kiss to her lips but she still didn't respond, she was frozen. He kissed her again this time at the side of her mouth, working his way along her cheek until he reached her jawline. He nipped underneath her jawline with his teeth, the feel of it making her eyes flutter delightfully.

It had been a long time since she'd been touched.

And it was as if Kol sensed that.

He kissed along her neck, sucking on her pulse, making her heart race faster before he pulled back, looking down at her.

"Let me be your freedom."He repeated against her lips.

Her eyes opened and she looked up at him, dark eyes meeting his, lust dancing in his. She stared at him before, all of a sudden, she lunged forward and smashed her lips to his, kissing him harshly. He instantly took advantage of this and pushed her back against the wall, his hands squeezing her bottom as he pressed her up against him. His mouth, very talented, worked over her own, demanding control of the kiss and she handed it to him without question. Kol was dominant and a small part of her craved that.

But, all of a sudden, flashes appeared in her mind.

"You're the only girl in my world, love."Klaus smiled at her, kissing her forehead as he wrapped his arms around her."Just as long as i'm the only boy in yours."

He was.

He was the only boy in her world, despite what she might feel.

Her eyes opened as more flashes appeared in her mind as Kol's hands moved up her back and one of his hands combed through her hair, his fingers tugging at the thick strands. He moaned against her mouth, hands lifting her thighs, and her long legs wrapped around his waist as she ground against him. She ignored the flashes and closed her eyes again, humming against his lips as she rocked against him, whimpering in need when he bit her bottom lip.

He tasted good. His hands were strong and his body felt good against hers, he was-

"You're perfect, sweetheart. In every way."Klaus smirked at the newly turned vampire, cupping her cheek."You'll always be perfect to me."

She couldn't do this.

It was wrong.

"No!"She yelled, pushing Kol away from her with all her strength, causing him to smash against the wall behind him.

She straightened herself, shaking her head."No!"

Kol, who had been enjoying himself and hadn't been expecting that, shook his head."What the bloody hell?"

She pulled down her dress and backed away, gasping in disgust as she stared at him. He frowned at her expression, confused as to why she pushed him away, and followed her.

She walked faster, turning around and rushing away from him.

"Nikola?"

She kept on walking, ignoring his calling for her.

"Nikola!"

Thanks for reading!

What do you think of Kol and Nikola?

Do you think Klaus overacted? He is Klaus, after all and his paranoia does control him sometimes.

Do you think there should be something between Kol and Nikola?
