The Rager
The next morning, Ashley walked downstairs and saw Damon.
"Morning Damon!" Ashley said with a smile.
"Morning Ash!" Damon said returning the smile.
"Where's the other one?" Ashley asked referring to Stefan.
"I'm not sure. Haven't seen him this morning," Damon answered her.
They hear a noise coming from outside so they walk to the door and Damon opens it. There they see Stefan working on his motorcycle.
"Good day for a midlife crisis?" Damon asked sarcastically. "164 years...I say you're due."
"Elena's transition to a vampire has been a little depressing. I wanna help her have some fun," Stefan said sitting on his motorcycle.
"Well, those who can't do, teach," Damon said as him and Ashley walked outside.
"I see we're still fighting," Stefan said. "Got it. Where you going?"
"That hunter jacked Tyler Lockwood of his werewolf venom last night so basically he's got vampire poison in a bottle. And I'm gonna find him and I'm gonna eat him," Damon explained.
"I'll go with you," Stefan offered.
"I don't want your help. I just wanna kill this guy and get the hell out of town," Damon said.
"Out of town?" Ashley asked looking at Damon; Stefan was looking at Damon confused.
"Wasn't that the deal? Whoever Elena doesn't choose, leaves?" Damon said.
"That was before she turned," Stefan said.
"And I stayed to help. If I take you punching me as the first clue, I'm not wanted here anymore," Damon stated.
"Damon-" Ashley started to say before Stefan cut her off.
"Listen, you blood shared with my girlfriend and I punched you in the face. You deserved it. Why don't you stop being dramatic?" Stefan remarked back.
"No brother. Dramatic would be leaving before I kill this hunter," Damon said then walked away; Ashley looked at Stefan.
"Don't look at me like that," Stefan told her.
"Look I get that Elena feeding off Damon was wrong but get over it. We're family and we have a hunter trying to kill us all. I'm telling you right now, if Damon leaves, I will never forgive you," Ashley said and walked away from Stefan; Stefan sighed.
Ashley ended up ditching school and going to the place she needed to go. She knocked on the door and seconds later, it opened.
"Hello darling. What a nice surprise," Kol said grinning; Ashley gave him a small smile. "Something wrong?"
Instead of answering, Ashley walked in and flung herself into Kol's arms. He quickly reacted wrapping both arms tightly around her.
"What's wrong sweetheart?" Kol asked concerned.
"I think Damon's going to leave town," Ashley stated.
"What do you mean?" Kol asked.
"I don't know. I guess him and Stefan made a deal that whoever Elena didn't chose would leave town. And that would be Damon. He's talking about leaving town and him and Stefan are fighting and it's just a mess," Ashley said looking at Kol.
"I don't think he could leave even if he wanted to. He wouldn't leave you. If him and Stefan are fighting, he would leave Stefan. Not you," Kol said trying to comfort her.
"But he's left me before and that's what scares me. Kol, me and Damon are closer than we've ever been and I can't lose him," Ashley said wanting to cry.
"Maybe you should go with him," Kol suggested.
"I can't. I don't want to leave Stefan and all my friends. And you," Ashley said; Kol gave her a small smile.
"It'll all be okay. I promise," Kol said gently stroking her cheek. "I'll compel Damon to stay if I have to."
Ashley and Kol both chuckled.
"You always make me feel better. What would I do without you?" Ashley asked.
"Well luckily for you, killing me isn't easy so you won't have to find out," Kol stated and Ashley gave him a smile. "I do have to tell you something though."
"What?" Ashley asked him.
"Niklaus knows about us. That we're officially together," Kol told her.
"Oh boy. And I take it he's not going to throw us a party?" Ashley said with a slight laugh; Kol laughed also.
"No I think a party is out of the question. But he'll have to accept it. Did you tell your brothers?" Kol asked.
"Sort of. I'm still kinda working on that one," Ashley said.
"Everything's going to be okay darling. All that matters is we're together, we love each other and we're happy together. That's not going to change," Kol said sweetly to her.
"I love you so much," Ashley said to him staring into his eyes.
"I love you more," Kol said and kissed her with a lot of passion. Ashley returned the passion in the kiss and deepened it more. Kol started to place kisses on her jawline as she giggled. He started to kiss her neck as she tried to keep from letting out a moan.
"Kol, is anyone here?" Ashley asked breathlessly.
"Just me and you darling," Kol answered as he kept kissing her neck.
"Good," Ashley said seductively and shove him hard against the wall and ripped his shirt off. Kol smirked and took control and the two made love to each other.
An hour had passed and Kol and Ashley were laying on a blanket in the middle of the floor with a sheet wrapped over them.
"I really hope no one walks in right now," Ashley said giggling as she laid her head on Kol's chest; Kol chuckled and put his arm around Ashley.
"It'd just be Rebekah or Niklaus. Rebekah would just laugh. Niklaus would probably try to kill me," Kol said as him and Ashley both laughed.
"I wish we could stay like this forever," Ashley said snuggling into Kol.
"Me too darling," Kol said.
Ashley's phone started ringing and she looked at it.
"It's one of my other men. Hang on," Ashley said then answered the phone. "Hey Damon."
"Hey. You busy?" Damon asked.
"Yeah," Ashley answered.
"Well too bad. You're going to help me with something. Meet me at the hospital in 20 minutes," Damon said then hung up; Ashley rolled her eyes then looked at Kol.
"Really? He's such a pain in the-" Kol started to say before Ashley put a finger over his mouth.
"Easy. He's still my brother and he could be leaving. I need to cherish these moments. Besides, he needs to approve of you," Ashley said with a small smile.
"But I need to cherish these moments," Kol said with a smirk as he pulled Ashley back down to him and she giggled.
"I'll text you later okay?" Ashley asked with a grin; Kol nodded and pulled her in for a kiss; Ashley pulled away and smiled. She stood up and got dressed. Kol sat up.
"I love you darling," Kol said.
"I love you too," Ashley said and leaned down and pecked Kol on the lips. "Bye."
"Bye," Kol said and Ashley left.
20 minutes passed and Ashley got to the hospital. She quickly found Damon and he explained the plan to her.
"I can't believe we're working with Klaus," Ashley said thinking back to when Kol told her that Klaus knew about them.
"I don't like it either but I needed a hybrid and Tyler wasn't available. Why aren't you in school?" Damon asked her.
"I ditched. I wasn't really in the mood to go," Ashley said honestly.
"On the phone you said you were busy. What were you doing?" Damon asked her.
"I was with Kol. Do you really wanna know what we were doing?" Ashley asked with a small smirk on her face.
"Oh my god! That's gross and makes me hate him even more! My baby sister is having sex with an Original," Damon said as Ashley rolled her eyes.
"Damon, can I ask you something?" Ashley said getting serious.
"Is this about sex? Because if it is, I don't wanna hear it. You have another brother to ask about that," Damon said.
"No. It has nothing to do with sex. Were you really serious about leaving?" Ashley asked looking at him; he looked at her and could see the hurt in her eyes.
"We shouldn't be talking about this right now," Damon said avoiding the subject. "Come on."
Ashley sighed and her and Damon got into the position they were supposed to be at.
Within a couple of minutes, Connor walked into the room that Damon and Ashley were in. Damon and Ashley came out of the shadows and came face to face with him.
"Is a hospital really the best place for a germophobe?" Connor asked looking at them.
"Did we say that we were germaphobes? Sorry. We meant vampires," Damon said with a smirk; Connor tried to pull out his gun and shoot them but an arrow went into his arm. Connor fell to the ground as another arrow went into his other arm.
"Stings don't it?" Damon asked; Connor tried reaching for his gun when it was suddenly kicked away.
"Hello mate," Klaus said to Connor; Connor tried to grab the arrows from his arm but he couldn't.
"Keep it up buddy. We'll be scraping you off from the ceiling," Damon stated.
"You three are gonna kill me anyway," Connor said back,
"Well let's not be too hasty. I feel like we're just getting to know each other," Klaus said with a smirk.
"Let's start with the basics. Where you're from, what you know…" Damon trailed off as he took out a piece of paper. "Maybe you can que us in on this greater evil because I fought this guy and there's nothing more evil than that."
Damon motioned towards Klaus and Ashley smiled a little.
"Yeah truth be told I'm as evil as it gets," Klaus said taking the paper from Damon.
"Ain't that the truth," Ashley said and Klaus gave her a small smirk.
"I'm not telling you anything. You think if you kill me it's going to be over? There's another waiting to take my place," Connor said.
"See this is what I like to hear. Vague threats, ominous prophecies, disappearing tattoos," Damon stated.
"What do you mean tattoos?" Klaus asked his smirk slowly falling from his face.
"Don't bother looking for them. You can't see them," Ashley said looking at Klaus; Klaus bends down and looks at Connor.
"There's more to you than what meets the eye isn't there?" Klaus asked; Connor tried to stake Klaus but Klaus catches his arm. "Nice try but I'm faster than your average vampire."
Klaus twisted Connor's arm and grabs the stake from him. He starts to examine the stake.
"You're one of the five," Klaus said breathlessly.
"The what?" Damon asked.
"I'm faster than your average hunter," Connor said as he reached up to blow the place up; Damon realized this and grabbed Ashley and sped out of the room with her. The room blew up and Damon jumped on Ashley as the two fell to the ground with Damon protecting his sister.
"You okay?" Damon asked as him and Ashley slowly sat up.
"Yeah. You?" Ashley asked back.
"Yeah I'm good," Damon said. "I should probably stay here and tell Meredith what happened."
"Okay. I'm going to go see Kol then probably head home," Ashley said and started to walk away.
"Ash?" Damon said making Ashley turn around and look at him. "I won't leave you again."
Ashley grinned and ran into Damon's arms. He grinned also and held her close.
"Go see your boyfriend Ash," Damon said looking at her.
"Does that mean you approve of Kol?" Ashley said biting her lip to keep from grinning.
"One step at a time," Damon said giving her a small smile; Ashley returned the smile and pecked her brother on the cheek and sped off. Damon just chuckled to himself knowing how lucky he was to have an amazing sister.
Ashley went back to the Mikaelson mansion and knocked on the door. Seconds later Kol opened the door.
"Hello darling. Back for round two?" Kol asked with a smirk; Ashley grinned and flung herself into his arms. Kol kind of laughed and held her close. "What is this for?"
"Because you were right. It's all going to be okay. Damon's not going to leave me," Ashley said looking at Kol now.
"That's great. See you have nothing to worry about," Kol said with a smile on his face.
"Except for a vampire hunter," Ashley said with a small laugh. "Speaking of which, when I went to meet Damon at the hospital, Klaus was with him. Him and Damon made a plan to trap the vampire hunter but it didn't go well."
"Did Niklaus say anything to you?" Kol asked.
"No," Ashley answered.
"Good. If he says anything to you, let me know," Kol said.
"Okay. Well I should get going. It's getting late," Ashley said and pecked Kol on the lips.
"I'll call or text you tomorrow," Kol said with a smile.
"Okay. I love you," Ashley said returning the smile.
"I love you too," Kol said.
Ashley then left and headed back home. When she got home, there was no sign of Damon so she figured he was still at the hospital. She didn't see Stefan either so she figured he had already went to bed. She went up to her room, changed into her pajamas and laid down on her bed. She thought about how lucky she was to have amazing brothers, loving friends and a great boyfriend. She fell asleep with a smile on her face.
