Recap: Breaking their agreement, Silas killed Adelina, sending her to the Other Side. Silas enlisted Bonnie's help to drop the veil so he can take the cure and die.
Music blaring and downing his eighth drink; Kol plops down on the couch as he filled another glass of bourbon. Kol held the glass up in the air, "To Silas!" He yelled out over the music, "For destroying my life, killing my girl, and cursing me to an eternity of misery." Kol downed the drink, slamming the glass down on the table so hard that it shattered.
"How many was that?" Jeremy asked, as him and Adelina watched Kol drown himself in alcohol.
"That was nine." Adelina replied, sitting on the couch across from Kol.
"I thought vampires couldn't get wasted?" Jeremy said,
"Just cause we're vampires doesn't mean that we can't get drunk. Our bodies function like normal humans as long as we have blood in our systems, it just takes stronger stuff." She said gesturing to Kol as he opened up another bottle this time it was rum.
"He's not taking it too well is he?" Jeremy said, sitting next to Adelina on the couch as Kol just swigged from the bottle.
"I died! How would you feel when you find out that you're soulmate was murdered?" Adelina glared at him, "When you're a vampire, you feel everything more intensely; you love is lust, anger is hate, heartbreak is crippling. Sometimes you need a couple bottle just to make the pain stop." Adelina explained, continuing to watch Kol.
"Why doesn't he just turn it off?"
"In the beginning when the emotions are everywhere, it's the easiest thing. But after a couple decades, it doesn't work anymore, that part of you that's human always creeps its way back in." Adelina sighed, getting up from the couch walking over to where Kol was sulking on the couch and gently kissed his forehead before disappearing with Jeremy.
"So what if Bonnie does drop the veil? We'll be human life can go back to normal." Jeremy said as him and Adelina walked through the woods.
"Then we have to explain to everyone in town, who saw your funeral, how you're miraculously alive." Adelina said,
"Oh, right." Jeremy sighed, "But Bonnie is going to drop the veil either way, and now she doesn't need a full moon to do it."
Adelina stopped, "Wait, what?"
"Bonnie is strong enough that she doesn't need the full moon to drop the veil." Jeremy explained,
"The full moon is tomorrow." Adelina said, "She's gonna do it tonight."
"Ugh, that old Lockwood cellar reeks of wet dog." Katherine said as she followed Bonnie down into the Lockwood cellar. "I'll just be staying up here."
Bonnie sighed, "You obviously don't know how this works." She kept walking as the link between her and Katherine pulled Katherine along against her will.
"You realize I'm not some wondering child in a supermarket, I'm a vampire that can kill you." Katherine threatened.
"Whatever happens to me happens to you. Do you really think I want you here?" Bonnie said,
"And what is here? Oh, right, 12 dead hybrids, this should be good." Bonnie closed her eyes, as the chain started to rattle and the wind picked up. Around Mystic Falls, the wind cause power lines to go out, as clouds made the town dark.
Katherine and Bonnie were at the Young Farm where Pastor Young and his followers had killed themselves. Suddenly the power in the house went out.
"What did you do?" Katherine asked,
"I lit the final hotspot. It's time to drop the veil." Katherine and Bonnie went to the center of the Expression Triangle, which was an underground tunnel system under Mystic Falls High. Bonnie took Quetzia's tombstone and began the spell to drop the veil. The tombstone started dripping blood the longer Bonnie held it.
"What is happening?" Katherine demanded,
"I'm channeling the Expression Triangle." Bonnie answered as torches around the cave lit up. The tombstone was red with blood as Bonnie opened her eyes. "It's done. The veil's down."
"I don't feel any different." Jeremy said, touching himself to make sure he was all there.
"We're human, Jeremy we're alive!" Adelina hugged Jeremy tight, but they backed away just as fast, "Elena!" "Kol!" They said together, as they ran off into town.
Adelina got to the Mikaelson mansion, Kol was staring out into the fireplace, twirling his wedding ring around. She stopped when he saw him, his back was turned to her, he must have heard her but he didn't turn around.
"Kol," Adelina called out, "Kol?" She stepped closer, she saw him shaking, like he was crying putting his hands up to his ears. Kol thought he was going crazy, he could still hear her. "Kol, it me." Adelina kneeled down, looking at him,
"Haven't you tortured me enough! You already took her from me, just leave me alone!" Kol grabbed Adelina by the throat, thinking she was Silas.
"K-Kol!" Adelina gasped, as Kol lifted her off the ground, "It's me, I'm real! B-Bonnie lifted the v-veil! I'm not Silas!" Kol snapped out of his rage, catching Adelina has he released her. "L-Lina?" Kol touched her face, making sure she was really here. Adelina just fell into his arms, as he held her, both of them crying as he kissed all over her face. "I love you so much," Kol cried,
"I love you too," Adelina smiled,
"Come on, we're leaving." Kol said, grabbing her hand,
"What?"
"We're leaving Mystic Falls, pick a spot, anywhere in the world." Kol said,
"Kol I can't!" Adelina tried to stop him,
"Of course you can, why not?
"Bonnie only dropped the veil inside the Expression Triangle, if I go outside the triangle I'm back on the Other Side." Adelina explained, "I need to find Bonnie."
"Why?" Kol asked,
"If Silas doesn't know the veil is down by now, he's going to know soon. The veil isn't down completely, I need to find Bonnie!" Adelina said, grabbing Kol's hand.
They found Bonnie in the cemetery with Damon and Stefan. "Looks like psychotic love birds found each other just fine." Damon commented, seeing Kol and Adelina walk up to them.
"Good to see you too, dick." Adelina said dryly. "Where's Silas?"
"Gone, I turned him to stone, he won't hurt any of us again." Bonnie said,
"Yes and one drop of blood and he's tormenting the town." Kol added,
"Then we do what we should have done to Klaus, we drop his body in the ocean." Stefan said, Bonnie looked around at Jeremy and Elena, then at Adelina and Kol. "I have to put the veil back up." She said simply.
"What? No!" Kol protested, Adelina just closed her eyes, her and Jeremy both knew that the veil was only temporary. Kol zoomed over and grabbed Bonnie, getting ready to snap her neck, "The veil can't go up if she's dead!" Kol threatened,
"The veil will go back up if she dies, Kol!" Jeremy said, trying to reason with him.
"Let her go, Kol." Adelina said firmly, Kol released Bonnie, who ran off back to the cave to close the veil. Kol fell to his knees at Adelina's feet, "I can't lose you again!" He cried, Adelina looked up at Jeremy and Elena, signaling them to give them a moment. When all of them had left, Adelina got down on her knees in front of Kol.
"Do you remember when my mother died; I was a newborn and I didn't know what to do with myself? I drank my weight in ale and mead and I wanted to turn it all off. Do you remember what you told me? She would always be with me, even when I wouldn't know it, she was always there.
"I was always there, Kol, every second, I was there beside you. I never left. You and me, forever. Remember? I love you. Do you hear me?" She pulled his face up to look at her, "I love you. And I will never leave you alone." Kol looked up at Adelina, the girl he loved for 1,000 years, the light to his darkness and the one person he failed to protect when she needed him.
"I love you," He whispered, Adelina smiled, gently kissing him.
"I love you, forever."
Adelina woke up the next morning, rolling over still in her and Kol's bed. Bonnie didn't raise the veil back up. She carefully slipped out of bed, leaving Kol a note so he wouldn't freak out. She went to the cemetery where Alaric and Jeremy were with Elena.
"Hey, Lina." Jeremy said, moving over on the bench to let her sit. "This is Alaric Saltzman, former history teacher and vampire slayer." Jeremy introduced.
"Well I'll make sure not to get on your bad side." Adelina smiled, shaking his hand.
"So you're the married girl, Jeremy has been chasing?" Alaric asked, Jeremy threw his napkin at him to make him shut up.
"I'm afraid so." Adelina shrugged, "No, but um, do any of you know where Bonnie is? I need to talk to her."
"About what?" Elena asked,
"She was supposed to put the veil back up, and we're still here. I don't think that was part of the plan." Adelina said.
"The full moon is tonight, according to Caroline that's when the veil goes back up." Jeremy explained.
"Well in that case," Adelina said, taking Jeremy's burger, "God, I missed fast food." She said taking a bite, watching Jeremy's shocked face, as Elena and Alaric laughed.
Adelina walked over with Jeremy to see everyone after the ceremony. Stefan was talking to Alaric about Damon taking the cure for the werewolf vemom Vaughn shot him with. While Caroline was trying to get a hold of Klaus.
"Congrats Bonnie," Adelina smiled as they hugged, when they did Adelina stopped. She pulled Bonnie aside, "Bonnie what happened?" Adelina asked,
"What are you talking about?" Bonnie asked,
"I know a ghost when I see one, Bonnie what happened?" Adelina pleaded.
"I tried a spell to bring Jeremy back to life, but it was too much." Bonnie sighed.
"And when the veil goes back up tonight," Adelina started
"I'll be on the Other Side." Bonnie finished, Adelina looked at her, "Bonnie," She started,
"It's okay," She smiled, "I said my goodbyes. Listen just don't tell anyone, you know how that will go." Adelina nodded, when she saw someone over Bonnie's shoulder. The witch from the sacrifice, that Caroline killed.
"Oh that can't be good." Adelina muttered to herself, as a group of them started walking over. Sending them all to the floor with aneurysms. "Remember us, Caroline? The witch said, getting ready to kill them, when a graduation cap flew out and severed her head.
"There are plenty more of these to go around, I could do this all day." Klaus said, smiling at Caroline.
"Are you alright, Klaus called me and told me where you were." Kol said, sounding like a concerned boyfriend. Adelina laughed,
"I'm fine, since when are you concerned I can't take care of myself?"
"Oh, I know you can take care of yourself." Kol smiled, "I thought you were gone this morning." Kol said against her lips, before kissing her deeply. Adelina pulled away,
"Kol, the veil goes back up, tonight. For good." Adelina emphasized to make sure that Kol knew what that meant.
"I have a plan for that." Kol said, Adelina looked at him confused.
"I found a witch; a witch who knows a spell to bring you back to life, so you can stay with me." Kol said,
"There's no such spell, it's against nature!" Adelina protested,
"She has expression, it's a magic of willpower, she can do it!" Kol pleaded, he had that desperate look in his eye, a look that Adelina knew far too well. She knew even if she said no that Kol would do it anyway.
"You would sacrifice someone to save my life?"
"If it keeps you here with me, so be it." Kol said,
"What if it's Rebekah, or Klaus or Elijah, someone you love? What if it's you? What if she sacrifices your life to save mine?"
"Then it would be worth it." Kol said
"We'd be right back here!" Adelina said, Kol grabbed her face in his hands, making her look at him,
"I would gladly, sacrifice my life, if it meant that you could live. You deserve that much." Kol promised,
"I don't want it." Adelina sighed, "I don't want to live in a world without you in it. If that means I have to walk beside you on the Other Side then so be it, but please Kol, don't do this." Adelina pleaded. Kol reluctantly nodded after a few moments, giving in.
Night fell, Bonnie had left to put the veil back up, and everyone left to say their goodbyes. Adelina and Kol were walking through the town square, there were lights twinkling in the trees. "Do you remember what this square used to be?"
Adelina smiled, "It was where the horses grazed, I remember chasing you through this field and I fell and skinned my knee and you fixed me up with a remedy from your mother." Adelina recalled the memory.
"That was the first time I knew I loved you." Kol said, Adelina looked up at him, "You despised me." Adelina said,
"Only on the outside, I couldn't give away all my secrets." He smiled as they stopped walking.
"It's almost time." Kol said, looking down at the floor. Adelina touched her hand to his cheek, "Hey, I'll always be here." She smiled, Kol kissed her, pouring all the love and passion of 1,000 years into one kiss. Knowing it would be the last one. As they pulled away, Kol saw something over her shoulder, "Some people wanted to say goodbye." Adelina looked confused turning around to see her mother, father and sister.
"M-Mother?" Adelina gasped, not knowing if it was a dream or not. Not caring when she ran into her arms, as her mother held them out.
"Oh, Adelina, my sweet girl, I'm so proud of you." Ayana smiled as Adelina started to cry.
"I thought you hated me?" Adelina said,
"You've proven stronger than all of this, and no one other than my daughter could do that." Ayana said,
"Now we can all be together." Adelina said,
"The veil is almost up, and we must go." Arianna said, Adelina was confused,
"But I'm going with you, right?"
"Not this time, sweetheart." Her father said, smoothing her hair.
"I don't understand," Adelina started,
"We had found peace, knowing this is where you belong." Ayana said, sweetly, "You are strong, Adelina, carry that with you, always." Ayana kissed Adelina's forehead as her father, Arianna and finally Ayana disappeared. Adelina stood for a moment, waiting. When she suddenly felt her chest tighten as her lung fought for air.
"W-What's happening to me?" Adelina said, as Kol ran over to steady her. Adelina was gasping for breath, grabbing her chest to feel her heart beat.
"You're alive." Kol gasped,
"What? I-I'm alive?"
"Your mother must have cast a spell from the Other Side. Adelina, my darling, you're alive!" Kol hugged her tight. But Adelina broke down in tears, "My mom is gone." She cried into his neck.
"No, she'll always be here, Adelina. Right here." He pointed to her heart, "I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere. I promise. You and me. Forever."
"Forever."
