A/N: So, my lovelies, here's chapter 14! Thank you so much for all the reviews, favorites and alerts! You guys rock!
I'm going to answer one question. A guest asked me if Alexa was an Original. She is. The Mikaelsons considered her part of the family. Esther gave all of them the wine laced with Tatia's blood. And then Mikael had to kill them all, but Alexa escaped when she saw Mikael killing Kol.
Later, Kol already turned in a vampire found her and drank from her blood; he never gave her his blood. To become a vampire, she needed to die, so Kol killed her. That makes her an Original.
I hope that answered your question :)
If any of you have any questions about the story or anything, just send me a PM, I will gladly answer all of you! And if not you can also send me a message on tumblr, it's mikaelsondarling :)

I hope you enjoy it!
Leave some reviews, please!
Chapter.14
*Kol's POV*
A lot of time had passed since Alexa had gone to search Nik and she still hadn't come back. Where was she? I started to worry. I tried to stay calm in front of Elijah and Rebekah, but they could notice I was nervous.
- Kol, what's wrong? –asked Rebekah.
- Isn't it a little bit strange that Alexa hasn't come back yet? And well Nik doesn't appear either… –I said.
- Where could they be? –Elijah spoke this time. He looked concerned.
- Sorry for the delay. –we looked at the door and there was Nik. –I was hunting and then I had some business to take care of. –he sat down.
- Where is Alexa? –I asked him.
- Alexa? I don't know. –Nik looked confused. –Why do you ask me?
- She went to search you and hasn't come back. –explained Rebekah.
- I didn't see her. –he looked at us.
- DAMN! –I hit the table.
- Kol, calm down, maybe she just went for a walk. –Rebekah put her hand on mine and tried to calm me down.
- We should go and search her. –proposed Elijah.
- I will go with Kol, Elijah you can go with Nik. –said Rebekah.
We searched for her everywhere, we looked around the garden and in the woods, I also decided to check the place near the waterfall, but she was nowhere to be seen and I was really worried. Where was she? Had something happened to her? Was she okay?
- She's not here. –said Rebekah. I punched the tree. –We will find her, Kol. –she hugged me from behind.
- I'm so worried, Bekah. What if something happened to her? –I turned around and look at my little sister. She looked worried.
- We will find her. –she hugged me tight.
We went back to the castle after a few hours of searching her without any result. I let myself fall on the sofa; my hands went to my head.
I heard the door open; I looked up and saw Elijah and Nik entering the room. I stood up and approached them.
Elijah shook his head.
- We didn't find her. There's no trace of her. –said Nik. –She disappeared. –I closed my eyes.
- This can't be real. –my hands went to my head. –What if someone took her?
- Don't tell me Mikael found us again… –Elijah looked very concerned.
- I hope not, because this time I will kill him. –Nik looked furious.
I kicked the table making it fall over. If Mikael had kidnapped her, I would kill him. He was a monster, a bastard. I wanted him dead.
- We have to search for her everywhere. We need to find her. –Rebekah had tears in her eyes. –She is our family. –This couldn't be happening…
*Alexa's POV*
I slowly started opening my eyes. My whole body hurt. I looked around. I didn't know where I was. But, my hands were chained, and they were soaked in vervain and so was the rag I had in my mouth, so I couldn't speak. I cried in pain.
I was very scared. Who had kidnapped me? Was it Mikael again? This time he would kill me.
I tried to remember what happened, but I only remembered being staked and feeling a huge headache, nothing else.
With all the strength I had, I tried to free myself from the chains. But every time I moved my hands, the chains soaked in vervain made contact with my skin, burning it. I flinched.
After a while, I gave up. It was impossible to free myself. I was very weak. I sighed. I needed to get out of here.
I heard a door open and heard some footsteps coming near.
- Alexandra Danielsson… –spoke a female voice I didn't recognize. She walked forward and I saw her. She had red hair and green eyes, but I didn't know who it was. She approached me and removed the rag. I let out a cry.
- Who are you? And how do you know who I am? –I asked her.
- It doesn't matter who I am. And I just know it. –she smirked.
- Did Mikael send you? –I looked at her.
- Mikael? Oh, no! He didn't send me, but I heard of him. The vampire who is a hunter and feeds on other vampires. Interesting. –I growled.
- WHO ARE YOU? AND WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME? –I flinched when the chains made contact with my wrists.
- My name is Monica and I'm a witch. –Monica? I had heard that name before. –Yes, Kol cheated on you with me. –she smirked.
- YOU ARE A WHORE! –I shouted.
- Calm down, love.
- I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!
Suddenly I heard a loud crack and I felt all the bones of my body breaking. I let out a loud cry. I was in so much pain. I had never experienced something like this before.
- Now, calm down. –she said. I felt the pain going away and I started to heal. I was gasping for air.
- What kind of magic is that? –I asked her. I had never seen something like that in my life.
- Expression. –she smiled.
- Why are you doing this to me? –I looked at her.
- After you left, Kol didn't want anything from me. He only talked about you and hoped you would come back. He used me. He had sex with me a few times and then threw me away like I was nothing. I was in love with him.
- How is it possible for you to be so young? That happened three centuries ago.
- I used an aging spell. –she was a very strong and powerful witch for what I could see.
- You know how I felt after that? He loved you and not me.
- Kol has never loved me. –I laughed.
- Oh, stupid, vampire. He was in love with you. But he was scared of showing how he felt. –she said. My eyes widened. –He only talked about you after you left. He even cried. That was pathetic. I don't even know what he sees in you. You are nothing special.
- Maybe I fuck better than you. –I smirked. She looked at me and suddenly my head started to hurt. I growled.
- Be careful with what you say… -she looked angry.
- What do you want from me? I'm not the one who hurt you, it was Kol.
- But I'm going to make you suffer for that. You were the one who ruined everything. You took him away from me. He never wanted anything from me because he only had eyes for you. –suddenly the floor started trembling.
- You are crazy! –I shouted. –You are not in love with him, you are obsessed.
- I'm not obsessed. –and that's when I felt all my bones breaking again. It's was very painful.
- STOP! STOP! –I complained.
- Stop messing with me or I will kill you. –she paused. –I would love to see you dead body on the floor.
- Kol will find me! –I said.
- No, he won't. I'll make sure of that. And when you're dead, he will come back to me.
- Crazy whore… -I whispered, so she could not hear me.
- It was nice talking to you. But I have some things to take care of. I'll visit you later. –she smiled and I growled.
How much time would pass until Kol would find me? Would he ever find me? Or would this psychotic witch kill me before he found me?
Maybe he didn't care if I was missing…
*Kol's POV*
- Three days, Rebekah! Three days! And she still hasn't appeared! –I kicked the wall. I was desperate to find Alexa. We didn't know anything about her in three days.
- We searched everywhere and asked everyone, Kol. –said Rebekah. –And if someone has kidnapped her, they have hid her very well…
- You mean that Mikael hid her very well…
- And what if it's not Mikael, Kol? If it had been him he would have let us know. You know how Mikael is.
- If it's not Mikael, who is it? Who would want to kidnap her?
- Does she have some enemies? –Elijah appeared in the room and looked at Rebekah.
- NO! Of course not. Why would she have enemies? –Rebekah stood up.
- I'm just asking. I'm trying to figure out who kidnapped her and why. –Elijah sat down on the sofa.
- And what if she has just left? –Nik who hadn't said a word, just talked.
- Why would she leave? We are her family! –Rebekah raised her voice.
- She wouldn't leave like that, Nik… -I shook my head. She wouldn't just leave us.
- Have you done something to her, Kol? –Nik flashed in front of me. He looked very serious.
- What? –I was shocked.
- You heard what I asked, Kol. –he paused. –You have been hurting her for a long time. Maybe you just did it again. Because that's what you are good at. –I growled at his words and pushed him against the wall, baring my fangs at him. He just smirked.
- I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! –I shouted.
- Please, stop! –Rebekah appeared next to us and tried to pull us away. Elijah helped her.
- Calm down. –Elijah looked at both of us. I walked away from Nik.
- I haven't done anything. Everything was going fine these last days. –I said when I calmed down. –I didn't give her a reason to leave. –I looked at Nik.
- We have to keep on searching her. We must not give up. Like Rebekah said, she's our family. –Elijah said and we all nodded.
*Alexa's POV*
I didn't know how long I had been locked in here. But it must have been a few days. I was very weak and I hadn't fed in all this time. I had bruises all over my body and they weren't healing. It was very painful.
The witch had come to see me a few times. She had always used her magic on me to torture me and repeated me that Kol had played with her because of me and all that stuff. She really was obsessed with him.
I just wished someone would find me. I couldn't stand this anymore. The only thing I could think about was Kol. Had he noticed that I had disappeared? Had he tried to search me? How was he?
I hoped he would find me soon. This witch was crazy and very powerful; she could kill me without even blinking.
For the first time in a long time, I was scared.
A few hours had passed or that's what it seemed, when I heard the door open. It was Monica, I recognized her by her scent. I looked at her. She was smirking while she approached me.
- Are you okay? –she asked me and laughed.
- I'm perfect. –I answered sarcastically. –Enjoying my time here.
- I see you still haven't lost the sense of humour.
- You know I could be even better if you gave me some blood. I would really appreciate it.
- Yes, of course. I give you some blood, you heal and get your strength back and then you try to kill me and escape. I will not take that risk. I'm not stupid.
- You can't keep me locked in here forever. –I raised a little bit my voice.
- I can.
- I wish I could free myself so I could kill you with my own hands, you crazy obsessed witch. –I growled.
- Ah, ah! Be careful with what you say. –she said and I felt my body like it was on fire. It was really painful. I couldn't stop shouting and crying. –You want me to stop, little vampire? –she asked. I tried to contain myself. I didn't want to beg her to stop; I didn't want to look weak. –Look at you trying to act all strong, when you're in so much pain. Just apologize and I'll stop. –she smirked.
- NEVER! –I felt the pain become more intense. My whole body burned, but I was not even on fire. It was all an illusion she had created. She was playing with my mind. I cried in pain.
- You want me to stop?
- PLEASE, PLEASE, STOP! I'M BEGGING YOU! –I shouted and I felt the pain go slowly away. I tried to take a few deep breaths.
- Well, it's not an apology, but its okay. –she smiled. I felt the tears streaming down my face. How long could I take all this?
- Kill me… –I let out in a whisper.
- What did you just say? –she approached me.
- Kill me… Do it. End it now. –I looked at her.
- So, you now have a death wish? –she looked at me. –You know it would be too easy killing you. I want to have fun. Torture you; I want you to beg me to stop. I want you to suffer what I suffered.
- I SAID… KILL ME! –I shouted at her. She just laughed.
- You are pathetic, Alexandra. –she kept on laughing and left me there.
*Kol's POV*
- We have tried everything. How do we find her? –I asked.
- This is so frustrating. –Rebekah sat down.
- Come in. –we heard Nik's voice and he wasn't alone. I quickly stopped up and flashed to where he was. He was accompanied by a girl with long blond hair and blue eyes.
- Who is she? –I asked.
- She's Aylinn and she's a witch. She owns me a favour and she will try to help us finding Alexa. –he explained.
- You must be Kol. –she said. I looked at her. –The crazy and impulsive brother. –she smirked. –Klaus told me about you.
- Yeah, that must be me… -I looked at Nik and frowned, he just grinned. The witch walked into the living room and looked around.
- Well, do you have something that belongs to Alexa? –she asked. –I will need it to do the locator spell.
- I'll go and look what I can find. –said Rebekah and she flashed upstairs.
After a while she came back with something in her hands.
- Can you do the spell with a necklace? –Rebekah asked and handed it to the witch. I looked at the necklace. It was the one I had gave her when we were human.
*FLASHBACK*
Alexa and I were going to meet in our place near the waterfall. We had been a few weeks together now and I was very happy. I never knew I could love someone like I loved her.
- Why are you smiling, Kol? –she asked me and kissed my nose. I giggled.
- I have got something for you. –I said. Her eyes widened.
- What? Why? –she smiled. I brought out the necklace from my pocket and showed it to her. It was a necklace with a lapis lazuli stone. –That is beautiful, Kol. But you didn't have to. –she smiled. She turned around and let me put it around her neck. –Thank you, Kol. –she kissed me.
- I wanted you to have it, so you can think of me when you look at it.
- Aww, Kol. It's amazing. I really love it. –she hugged me. –It's beautiful. –she said looking at it.
- Not as beautiful as you. –I smiled and kissed her on the cheek.
- I love you, Kol. –she said. Her face close to mine.
- I love you, Alexa. –and we kissed again.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
I shook my head and tried to come back to reality. I had been lost in my thoughts. But that made me realize even more that I had to find her as soon as possible.
- Yes. I can. –the witch grabbed the necklace from Rebekah's hand. I need another thing. –she said.
- What is it? –I asked.
- Have you got a map of this village? –she asked.
- It should be in one of the shelves. –said Elijah and walked to the shelves and started looking around until he found it. –Here it is. –he handed it to the witch.
- Thank you. Okay, let's start.
She walked to the table, opened the map and put the necklace on it and started chanting in latin. The necklace levitated and started to spin around while she kept on chanting. We all looked at her.
Suddenly the necklace fell on the map and she stopped chanting and opened her eyes and looked at the map.
- I found her. –she said.
- Where is she? –I asked her very impatiently.
- Here. –she pointed the map. We all approached her and looked where she was pointing.
- In the old castle on the outskirts of the village? –asked Rebekah.
- We didn't look there. –said Nik.
- Come on, let's go. –I looked at them and started walking.
- I'm not in debt with you anymore, Klaus. –the witch said to Nik. –I helped you, that was our deal.
- I always keep my word. You are free to go. –he said.
- Thank you. –I thanked her. She smiled and nodded.
- Good luck.
We got ready and headed to the castle on the outskirts of the village all together. I was preparing myself for what I would find there.
I just hoped Alexa was okay. The thought of her being hurt made me furious. If someone had touched her, they would pay for it. No one would hurt her and come out alive.
- Everything's going to be okay. –Rebekah put a hand on my shoulder and smiled. I hoped she was right.
- We will find her and kill the person who kidnapped her. –said Nik. –And I don't care if it's Mikael. He will be dead. –I nodded.
- The important thing is getting her out of there as soon as possible. –Elijah looked at us. Yes, he was right. That was the most important thing, and after that could come revenge.
We arrived to the castle. It was abandoned. I looked around and walked to the door and opened it.
- We have to be careful. We don't know who we will find in there. –warned Elijah.
- Do you hear something? –asked Rebekah. I tried to concentrate.
- No. –I answered.
- We have to look everywhere. –said Nik.
- Rebekah, Elijah, you go upstairs and check every room. –I looked at them. –Nik, you look around this floor. I will go to the dungeons.
We all went on separate ways to find Alexa. I went downstairs. This castle was huge. I walked through the straight corridors trying to find her.
To be honest, I was scared of what I would find.
As I approached the end of the corridor, I heard a cry. I gulped. It came from my right. I stopped and tried to concentrate to see what I could hear. I only heard more cries.
I kicked open the door and looked around the room. I saw Alexandra chained. She was covered in blood and her dress was torn apart. She looked horrible. She had cuts and wounds everywhere.
I flashed to her.
- Alexa… –I let out in a whisper. It pained me to see her like this.
- Please, no, don't hurt me. –she cried.
- Shhh, Alexa. It's me, Kol. –I kneeled down and made her look at me.
- Kol… –she said. Her voice was croaky. –I knew you would come… -she smiled weakly.
- I'm here. –I stroked her hair. –And I'm going to get you out of this place. –I was about to break the chains that were holding her when I heard footsteps. I turned around.
- Kol… What a pleasure.
- Monica?
Cliff-hanger!
