Esther lead me into an empty room where Finn and Elena waited. The doppelganger looked toward me shocked.
"What is she doing here?" Finn asked.
"Sophia is going to help us." Esther answered smoothly burning sage. "She is going to be a distraction."
"What makes you believe I'll help you?" I squinted.
"Last I heard you assisted my son in killing my other son."
"Ah yes but that was temporally." I stayed smirking watching Finn and his mother.
"So you cared enough to make sure he wouldn't stay dead?" She asked skeptical.
"I do not care for him." I replied through clutched teeth.
"Good than you'll help Elena and her friends."
"Fine." I agreed. "What shall I do?"
"Whatever they ask." Original witch turned from me to Elena using her blood to cast a spell that linked her children. I left a couple minutes after Elena as not to cause any suspicion. Just as I walked down the stairs Kol met my eyes, for a second something sparked in them until they returned normal.
A hand landed on my waist pulling me close.
"Hello Niklaus." I smirked not bothering to remove his hand liking the glare Kol was giving us.
"Sophia sweetheart it's so good to see you again."
"If only I could say the same." Making my voice sounding innocent yet filled with bitterness.
"Mustn't be so harsh love, after all I could kill you and your sister." He threatened.
"You'd have to find her first, and if I am harmed I doubt Elijah would be pleased nor would Rebekah."
"They'd get over it . When you're immortal it tends to be difficult to hold grudges."
"Might I ask why your hand is touching me?"
"The same reason you haven't removed it, because this little movement angers my brother." he placed his lips close to my ear. "You enjoy his jealousy."
KOLS POV:
Klaus touched Sophia making me slightly angry. I waited for her to pull from his touch which she didn't. I drank the rest of my champagne when Rebekah came to me.
"Where's your date?" I asked.
"Flirting with his ex." She growled.
"You've changed Bekah, settling for mortals is the first sign of weakness."
"Like you would know anything about settling. And I only brought him here to kill him,he's friends with that doppelganger bitch he dies she suffers win win."
"I take it you need me to do the dirty work." I replied knowing my sister already got in trouble today.
"I'll lure him outside-"
"Outside? What's wrong with right here, right now. Make a scene." I smirked really needing to kill something as Sophia continued to speak with Niklaus.
"You sound like an idiot Kol, mother would kill you if you ruined her party. Just wait outside."
Fine I'll do it her way for now.
I waited for my sister to bring the human outside disappointed when she protected him bringing him back to the party.
"Figured I'd find you out here." Sophia came out of the shadows.
"Shouldn't you be charming up with Niklaus?"
She laughed quietly. "Although your brother is very charming he's kind of an ass."
I couldn't help but laugh along with her. "How did you know I was outside?"
"I saw you leave." She replied taking a step closer.
"You were watching me?" I arched a brow smirking.
"Don't flatter yourself." Sophia smirked. "Your mother is about to give a toast best we get back inside." We went back inside when the servants were handing out a reddish alcohol.
Mother was on the stairs getting ready to give a speech.
"Thank you all for being part of this spectacular evening. Cheers" She held her glass up.
Sophia looked toward me holding her glass out. "Cheers."
I tapped my glass with hers. "Cheers darling."
SOPHIA'S POV:
I felt bad watching Kol drink his death sentence.
"Kol I'm sorry." I blurted earning a confusing look from him. "Uh you know for the dagger thing." I could tell he didn't know what to say to that, " I should go need to find a place to stay anyways."
I turned only for Kol to grab my arm. "Why did you come?"
I shrugged. "I was bored." He released my arm allowing me to leave. I walked over to Elena who seemed to be having a disagreement with Damon as he stormed off.
"Trouble in paradise?"
"Damon's being Damon." She said shaking her head. "I honestly don't know what to do anymore."
"Here's my philosophy on dating it's important to have somebody that can make you laugh, somebody you can trust, and you know somebody that can turn you on, and it's very important that these three people don't know each other."
Elena laughed in away that reminded me of my sister, before she turned and became a heartless bitch. A cracking sound caused all the vampires, and Elena who followed me, to walk outside.
"Damon! What are you crazy?" Stefan asked looking at Kols non-moving body.
"Far be it for me to cause a problem." The Salvatore replied than left.
"Bekah help me get your brother into the house." I rushed down to Kols body picking him up. Rebekah helped me get him inside and place him into his room, thankfully the guest had left so they hadn't seen us take his unconscious body.
Elena waited for me at the door. "You can stay at my place."
I smiled at her. "Thanks but Esther invited me to stay here. No doubt to keep an eye on me, I don't think she likes me much."
"She's probably worried you're going to ruin the plan."
"My conscience is cleared, how about you? You being mortal means you have your humanity."
"I'll be fine, the quicker this is over the better." I agreed with her before heading to the guest room when I decided to have a little fun. I snuck into Kols room sitting at the edge of his bed, You are about to have a hell of a dream I smiled to myself.
KOLS POV:
The shower was running, Funny I don't remember turning it on.
I walked in seeing her long brown hair sticking to her back.
She saw me smiling as she dropped her towel. "Oops." Her hazel eyes watched me with nothing but lust as she walked closer tracing my chest with her finger before ripping my shirt off. Sophia forcefully pinned me to the bathroom wall every kiss sending shock waves. I lifted her body up, her legs wrapping around my waist tugging and aching for more. I kissed her neck than rushed to the bed tossing her on it then quickly laid my body on hers. I continued to kiss her body from her stomach than going back to her lips.
That morning I woke up sweating as my heart pounded against my chest. I had to compose myself before heading downstairs where Sophia laid on the couch her body stretched out seductively, giggling the moment she saw me.
"Why are you do happy?"
"Well Mr. Mikaelson I could ask you the same thing." She pointed at my personal place than erupt into laughter.
I glared at her. "Like you don't know."
She sobered up looking at me innocently "What ever do you mean?"
"I know you messed with my head last night, shower was a nice touch."
"Don't act like you didn't love it." She stood up placing her hand on my chest tracing her fingers against my shirt. "You loved every bit of it." She leaned in for a moment I thought she was going to kiss me but instead she pulled away grabbing her bag. "I have to take a shower, than I'm heading out."
"Where to?" I followed her to the bathroom.
"Out with a friend." She removed her shirt and pants only standing in her bra and underwear.
I leaned on the arch of the door examining her appearance. "No invitation?"
She slowly begun to shut the door. "You already had your shower time, remember?" I laughed as the door shut.
SOPHIA'S POV:
The look on Kols face as I shut the door gave me a very satisfying feeling. By the time I exited the shower Kol was already gone and the others were not my concern. I ran to the Salvatore's where I saw Rebekah do the walk of shame out of the house the same moment Elena showed up.
I stayed hidden until she left not really wanting to get in the middle of their little problems.
"My favorite Petrova sister please do come in." Damon said sarcastically inviting me in.
"Elena probably told you guys about the link. So when's the whole thing going down?"
"Tonight. Esther's drawing powers from the Bennett line to take out her children." Stefan answered.
"Don't going running off and tell your boyfriend." Damon warned.
"I'm not saying a word to Kol."
He arched a brow. "Kol? I was referring to Elijah saw you two dancing seemed cozy.. Are you sleeping with his little brother?" Damon smiled.
"No, I may have before but that is so not the point." I rolled my eyes it was clear he wouldn't let this one go. "Just call me if you need anything."
"Will do." He replied still smiling.
"Stop giving me that look." I squirmed, "Okay don't need the look of shame from someone who just slept with Rebekah."
Damon held his hands up in surrender. "You know only the guilty defend themselves."
"Shut it Salvatore." I growled than headed out back to the Mikaelson's place surprised to find it empty.
"Kol! Elijah, hello anybody home!" I sighed when nobody replied.
"Sophia, I was wondering if you could accompany me." Elijah appeared out of nowhere.
"Really Elijah, I told you it scares me when you sneak up on me." His smile made me feel regretful of his soon demise. "Where are we going?"
"I need to speak with Elena."
I swallowed a lump in my throat. "Any particular reason?"
"I just have questions about my mothers intentions." I nodded following him out. Once we reached Elena's he asked her to join us which she did not argue with. Elijah drove us to a place in the woods.
"I forgot how much I missed this land." Elijah said exiting the car.
"I can't imagine what it must have been like a thousand years ago." Elena replied getting out.
"This is a cavern I use to play in as a boy. It connects to a system of tunnels that crossed the entire area." I listened never hearing of their past. "It was natures way of providing us shelter against the savagery of the full moon. My mother said there must be a balance.."
"Elijah, I should probably go home." Elena said looking toward me nervous
"I admire you Elena, you remind me of qualities I valued long before my mother turned us..It's not your nature to be deceitful yet when I asked you about your conversation with my mother the other night you lied to my face."
"Elijah, what are you getting at?" I asked stepping forward.
"I told you what you're mother said, she only wants you guys to be a family again." Elena said her voice a tad shaky.
"I can hear your heartbeat, it jumps when you're being dishonest, you lied to me at the ball and you're lying to me now. Tell me the truth." Elijah was threatening.
"I never wanted this to happen.." She backed away as Elijah got closer.
"What, Elena?" Elijah asked taking a step closer.
"We were told that whatever was in the coffin was going to kill Klaus, When we found out it was your mother, we didn't know what to think..When she asked to see me I thought she could help that she would find a way to kill him..It's not just Klaus she wants dead."
"She wants to kill us all doesn't she?" Elijah was hurt I could feel it, "She wants to do the evil she created."
"I'm so sorry Elijah..I wish there was something I could do to help.."
"One thing I learned about my time on this earth is be careful what you wish for." Elijah broke the ground beneath us grabbing Elena down the hole. Elijah shot out of the hole with no Elena. "Time to leave."
"I apologize Elijah for what your mother is planning."
"No matter I'll find a way to stop her." He turned to face me. "Can you warn Kol and Niklaus about Esther plans?"
"Of course." Once Elijah left and out of ear shot I grabbed my phone. "Damon we have a problem."
