The flight had been exhausting and by the time it landed, I would've been able to fall asleep sleeping. I hadn't been able to sleep and was consequently left to think over the past few days.

It was my observation that both Kol and I were hiding something from each other. I wondered what he was hiding from me, but also respected that it was his secret to keep and I was no one to ask him for his secrets when I, myself was keeping so many.

"Kol.." I shook him by the arm to wake him up but to no avail. "Kol, the flight is about to land". I shook him again, this time he turned to the opposite side. I had to admit that he was most definitely easy on the eyes. His hair was messed up and his mouth was open slighty,making him look innocent.

I let out a breath and looked around us. There was an old couple on the last seat and no one else because we had taken seats in the business class of the plane. Apparently, Kol couldn't travel in the economic class. What a diva!

I slowly leaned in so that I was in his face and moved my mouth to his ear, as if I was going to whisper something and screamed. And then he screamed and I sat back smirking triumphantly.

"What the hell Elena?"

"You weren't waking up". I said shrugging at him; it was time for him to be treated as mysteriously as he treated me.

"Ugh, I was having the most amazing dream". He said after yawning.

"Really? What was it about?"

"I was in Hawaii, surrounded by-"

"The people you love". I interrupted without even thinking.

"Models. Bikini models who were getting a photo shoot done". He said with a far away look in his eyes, as if he was imagining it at the very moment.

"Men." I muttered under my breath before speaking louder. "Of course you did".

"What is that supposed to mean?" He asked indignantly.

"Oh well, just that it was quite obvious that you would dream about bikini models".

"Why, should I have dreamed about hand models? Besides, it's my dream".

"Yeah, I know but I'm just saying that it's typical of you to think like that."

"What do you mean typical of me? What do you know about me that makes you think it would be typical of me?" He all but attacked me. I was going to reply but we were interrupted by an air hostess who told us to fasten our seat belts as we were about to land.

I thought over what Kol had said and I really wondered what I did know about my husband. That was the truth of this situation and there was nothing I could do about it now, except for trying to get to know him.

The walk till Kol's car, which his driver had brought over, was led in a half asleep state and we could barely stay awake.

"You live here?" I questioned in surprise as the car stopped in front of a huge white mansion.

"No. I live in a condo across town", he said before continuing "this is my parents' house, my mother wants the entire family to stay together so that everyone can get to know you, especially her".

"Oh". I thought that it was weird but didn't comment on it.

"I know it's weird but our family isn't very close, well we aren't close to our parents, so our mother insists it at least once a year and this week just happens to be it". I nodded, but before I could say anything the driver had opened the doora and I got out along with Kol trailing behind me.

The walk to his -our- bedroom was tiring and as soon as my back hit the soft, comforting mattress, I felt my world become dark.

"I was starting to wonder if you'd even show up". I told Tyler when he came in my sight of vision.

"I wasn't really planning on it". Tyler said as he plopped down on the bench.

"Then why did you?" I mumbled under my breath.

"Oh, I didn't want to stand you up". I looked at him. His dark brown hair and high cheekbones were somewhat magnified in the morning light.

"It's not a date, Tyler. This" I moved my hand between the two of us "is me being forced to make you understand chemistry for extra credit."

"Oh, I know you want me Elena, no need to make excuses about it and blame it on extra credit". I was about to reply when a fire started out of nowhere in the garden, it was burning everything, turning the beautiful flowers into nothing but ash.

It came towards us, slow and fast at the same time and within seconds, which seemed like hours, the flame had engulfed Tyler's body, burning it, but it couldn't touch me£, and slowly I felt myself fading away.

"Elena. Elena, wake up". I felt myself being shaken and shot up due to the sensitivity of the unfamiliar touch.

"I..I uh" I said as I felt the sweat run down my forehead.

"Elena, are you okay?" Kol was sitting in front of me and he tucked my hair behind my ear as I felt him wiping the sweat from my face. "Calm down, just breath in and out. Concentrate on me". I did and took deep breaths.

"Thanks". I said as I felt two arms wrap around my shaking frame and after a few moments, relaxed into him.
