A/N: Sorry this chapter's so short but I hope you, my lovely readers, enjoy it anyways :)
When Alyssa finally regained consciousness again, she found herself chained in a chair in an unfamiliar room. She slowly opened her eyes and squinted against the bright sunlight streaming in through the window. She could make out the outline of either Elijah or Kol sitting in the chair by the window.
"Good morning," the Original vampire in the chair said in a sing song voice. Alyssa immediately knew from the arrogant voice that it was Kol and not Elijah.
"Go away," she said. Kol laughed and walked over to her.
"Now is that any way to treat your saviour?" Kol asked with amusement clearly evident in his voice.
"You didn't save me or my brother, you bastard," Alyssa said as she struggled to free herself from the chains wrapped around her wrists. Why had he wrapped the chains so tightly around her wrists? She was half-vampire but the chains around her wrists were so tightly wound that it felt like they were cutting off her circulation. For some reason, the chains seemed to wind even more tightly around her wrists as she struggled.
"You're a feisty one. No wonder Nik likes you so much," Kol mused as he brushed a loose curl out of Alyssa's face. Alyssa recoiled against his touch and stopped struggling with the chains.
"He likes Caroline, not me," Alyssa said. Kol chuckled, amused.
"You're wrong. He actually likes you more but I guess it doesn't really matter now, seeing as how he'll probably never see you again," he said.
"Kol—" Alyssa said just before Kol interrupted her.
"You're going to stay here, without your magnificent magical powers, until Violet, the three hunters and I are done with this town," Kol said sharply.
"No, I'm not," Alyssa said as she tried to mentally attack him with a strong brain aneurysm. Nothing happened, though she felt her powers stir a little. Kol smiled, noticing what she had tried to do.
"Nice try but a friend of mine, who is a witch like you, made this room magic-proof," he said.
"Where exactly are we, anyways?" Alyssa asked.
"At my house," Kol replied. He left the room before she could ask any him any more questions.
Half an hour later, after Klaus had finished seeing what Caroline was up to at her new college, he went to look for Alyssa. He hadn't heard a peep from her since he had left her alone with Kol, Violet and three of the hunters from the Brotherhood of Five. Klaus was only partly paying attention and almost crashed into Elena, who suddenly appeared in front of him. Before the Original could say anything, Elena started speaking.
"Kol took Alyssa. I followed them-" she said. Klaus's expression turned into one of anger and disbelief and he interrupted her.
"What?! Where did he take her?"
"To a...mansion downtown. I don't know the address," Elena said.
"Show me and I'll deal with him," Klaus said resolutely. Elena used her vampire speed to get to the house that she had secretly followed Kol to earlier as Klaus followed closely behind her.
