Kol shook his head in amusement. "That's all you have to say?" He asked, grinning at her.
"Well." Elena said. "It's kind of a lot to take in."
Kol shifted his body to the side and took out his phone. "Speaking of the devil." Kol smirked and picked up. "Yes, brother?" He greeted with an incredibly sarcastic tone. She had almost forgot, that he spoke to people like that. But the second they were alone, he became so different.
He was silent, while he listened to the person on the other end of the line. "Yes." Kol said matter-of-fact. "Yes." There was another pause. "I'd rather not tell you, since I am fairly certain, you then will appear here in a matter of seconds." He said, grinning widely. "No, do you want to speak to her?"
He chuckled and handed Elena the phone, who took it with a deep frown. "Hello?"
"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" Elena squirmed and held the phone away form her ear.
"Stefan, I can also hear you, when you speak in a normal voice." Elena said grimly, giving the phone a deadly look.
"Oh really?" Damon's voice replied. "So, can you please tell me, why the hell you're not picking up your own damn phone?"
Crap. Her phone was still on silent and the vibration was turned off. "Um. I didn't hear it." She she said and pulled it out of her pocket. 200 missed calls. "Did you really call me two-hundred times?" She asked in disbelief.
"Well, I don't know. Stefan, Blondie and Witchy called you as well. Anyway tell me where you are and we will pick you up."
"No, Damon." She said firmly. "I have my car and when I want to go home, I will do it by myself. Like I said earlier, I don't need bodyguards and why do you have Klaus' phone?"
Damon scoffed. "Because, we were enjoying a drink together at the grill and my phone died." He said sarcastically. "Are you stupid? It has been four hours, since the last time anyone saw you and you haven't answered any of our calls."
"Four hours?" Elena frowned. "What?"
"Yes, Elena. It is six o'clock." Damon growled
"Oh." Elena said in surprise. When did it get so late? She looked around and realized for the first time, that it was actually getting darker. "I'll be home soon." She said into the phone and hung up.
Kol burst into silent laughter and Elena frowned at him. "What?" She asked.
He shook his head. "It's just funny, that they are actually with Nik to look for you. After everything you told me, you know?"
Elena smiled at him. If he only knew, how creepy it was, that they teamed up so easily. "What did Klaus say to you?" Elena asked curiously. She didn't want him to get into trouble with that freaky hybrid because of her. He could end up with a dagger through his heart. And somehow even the thought of that made her incredibly sad and angry.
Kol sighed in amusement. "Oh, the usual. I will tear one of your body parts out. I will dagger you." Her eyes widened in horror. "Oh, love. Don't worry, he can't do anything. Mother won't let him." He winked at her.
At that Elena sighed. "Good." But then she remembered their mother. "How is she? Your mother, I mean."
Kol shrugged. "Fine. She is bossing us around as usual."
Elena frowned. "How is she alive? I mean, is she still human or is she a ghost?"
"No, she is still a human, a witch. She told us that Ayana and the other Bennett witches are helping her to remain with us for a while. She said she needed to fix the bond between us, me and my siblings." Elena raised an eyebrow at him. "She wants us to be a family again. She doesn't want us to plot each others deaths."
Elena nodded at that. "I can understand that. But she will die eventually?"
Kol smiled sadly. "Yes, she will. Technically, she already is dead and she doesn't know how long she can stay."
Elena processed the new information, but then she realized that it was already past six. "Um. I think I should go home." She said apologetically.
"You're probably right, darling." Kol smirked and they got up. Elena turned around and smiled at the graves in front of her. "I love you, guys." She whispered. "We miss you here."
Then she turned her back to the graves and the two of them walked back to Elena's car. When she was at her door, she looked at him. "Do you want me to drive you home?" She asked Kol, who was standing in front of her.
"No, thank you. I can get home." He smirked and stepped closer. It reminded Elena of monday after school, when he had forced her to take him to the grill. So much had changed since then. At that time, she had been terrified and but now she just had the urge to touch him, to be close to him.
"I know that." She whispered and her eyes lingered on his handsome face. His smirk turned into a genuinely sad smile and his hand once again stroked her cheek. "Thank you for today, Elena." He said quietly, causing goose bumps to spread over her body.
"No, thank you." She answered honestly. It had been good to talk to somebody about everything and she had learned a lot about Kol today. She knew now that he was nothing like Klaus. That he was good.
They stared at each others eyes for a moment, before Kol's hand trailed down to her lower lip and caressed it gently. "See you tomorrow, love." He said and then he was gone.
Elena sighed and slumped against her car, her legs felt like they were made out of jelly. "Oh." She breathed, while her heart beat fast in her chest. She stood there for almost five minutes, until she finally found the strength to get into her car and drive home.
When she arrived, Damon, Stefan and Bonnie were waiting in the living room.
"Seriously?" Elena groaned. "Just leave!" She wanted to take a shower and go to bed. It had been a long day and she was confused about the things that happened between her and Kol.
With that she walked over to the stairs, but her path was blocked by an extremely angry looking Stefan. He grabbed both of her arms forcefully and she winced. "Let go of me!" She said, trying to free herself from him.
"NO!" Stefan roared back and tightened his grip.
"Ah. You're hurting me." Elena cried out.
"Stefan!" Damon was on Elena's side now, trying to loosen his brothers hold on her, but not really trying that hard.
"Let her go." Bonnie demanded.
"No." Stefan growled. But in the next second the pressure was gone and Stefan was holding his head, while he was crying out in pain.
"BONNIE!" Damon scouted. "STOP IT!
"No." Bonnie said firmly, staring down at Stefan.
Elena let out a frustrated growl. "GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE! ALL OF YOU! LEAVE." When none of them moved, she stomped her feet to the ground. "I SAID LEAVE!"
Damon nodded eventually and steadied Stefan, so that they could get out of the house. Bonnie looked at her apologetically. When both Stefan and Damon were out, Bonnie stepped closer. "I am so sorry, Elena." She said. "When they called me and told me you were missing, I was worried."
Elena nodded impatiently. "But I told you a million times to stop worrying."
Bonnie shook her head in desperation. "And how am I supposed to do that? Elena, you're my best friend, I can't just stop." She said angrily. "I worry about you, because I love you. But when you say that there is no reason, then I will back off." Bonnie said calmer now and Elena hugged her tightly. "Thank you, Bonnie."
"I trust you, Elena. I don't trust vampires, but I am trusting you." She said and hugged her back.
"Can you leave me alone, Bon?" Elena sighed after a while. "It really has been a long day."
Bonnie nodded. "Um, Sure." They let go of each other and Bonnie smiled encouragingly at her. "See you tomorrow."
"Yeah." Elena nodded, forcing at smile onto her face.
The second the door closed, Elena sighed deeply and the smile disappeared. Stefan had actually tried to hurt her and Damon hadn't stopped him. What was wrong with them? They tried to protect her from Kol, but now they were the ones, that were the actual threat. She didn't knew anymore if she needed them to protect her or protection from them. And she didn't know what she would do about the thing with Kol. Things were really getting confusing by now.
Ah, so the judgmental witch is alive :P ..jokes aside. She too will have a (bigger) role in the upcoming (well, later) chapters :) First I wanted Bonnie to side with the Salvatore's, but she's a witch and she hates vampires.. So, she will be on team Elena (NOT kolena.) And btw. Bonnie's mom is still alive, since there was no spell that connected the originals. So Esther is still channeling the Bennett witches powers (don't know if that's important, just wanted to tell you ;))
Elena stomping her foot to the ground, somehow deja vu *cough* twilight *cough* but I didn't want her to slap anyone, it just seemed out of place. Anyway! Bonnie gave Stefan some headache, can't believe I am going to say this, but thank you bonnie, see you in pyhsics class (*sigh* I miss Bekah!)
