Toofabulous: I can see why you would think that, and yes, Sofia is very forgiving of Kol, but it's only because of the amount of immense love that she has for him. As a vampire everything is heightened, so I would think that since Sofia was completely in love with Kol while she was human, even though he forcibly turned her, that love for him would be magnified. I don't know, that's just how I see it. And oh my god! I didn't even notice that! I totally went back and fixed that as soon as I read that you saw that! How embarrassing. Thank you for the review! I'm really glad that you like this story so far, and I hope you like this chapter as much as the last ones!

PiecesInTheirGames: Thank you for your review! I'm really glad you think that I keep Kol in character! Before I write him, I go back and watch videos of him on Youtube just to get a good grip on his personality. I do that every time! I kind of dulled his psychotic-ness a bit because of Sofia, and I think that if Kol actually had a girl who was completely, irrevocably in love with him, he would be able to reign in his temper, and tone down his psychotic behavior, just a LITTLE bit. Any who, I really hope you like this chapter as much as the last ones!

sarahmichellegellarfan1: Oh, wow! Thank you for all of your reviews! I hope that you like this chapter as much as the last ones.

Luli Cullen: Thank you for the review! I hope you like this chapter as much as the last one!

PenelopeSuriCUTE: Oh, no worries. No need to apologize for that. But yes, Sofia is angry about Kol snapping her neck. I guess I could have laid it on a little thicker, but oh well. Thank you for both of your reviews! I hope you like this chapter as much as the others!

IronManRox2k12: Yes, Finn died. *Partial sad face* Thank you for the review! I hope you like this chapter as much as the last one!

Elin: Thank you for the review! I hope you like this chapter as much as the last one!

Katherine Sparrow: Thank you for the review! I hope you like this chapter as much as the last one!

justa20: Haha, right? I'm writing it and I even think it's sexy! Damon and Elena will definitely be in this chapter! Thank you for the review! I hope you like this chapter as much as the last one!

Psychotic Girl: Sofia was definitely not fine with it. I know that I probably should have described her anger a bit more, my bad. Thank you for the review!

"Time to meet up with the little Gilbert, sweets," Kol whispers in Sofia's ear while kissing along her bare shoulder. Sofia groans, and pulls the bed sheet over her head. Kol smirks a bit and rises from the bed before walking around to the end of the bed and he grabs the end of the sheet, and pulls it sharply off of her naked body.

"Damn you, Kol!" Sofia snarls, glaring viciously at him.

"Aw, don't be upset, sweets. You look delicious," Kol purrs, looking over her body with an approving smirk. Sofia glares harshly at him and gets out of bed. She walks over to her suitcase and pulls out a black lacy bra and matching panties. Kol groans and moves directly behind her after she puts the lingerie, and he runs his fingertips over the exposed skin of her back. "Have I mentioned how much I love this century?"

"Shouldn't you be getting ready?" she asks, a small smirk threatening to appear on her face.

"Probably, but you're just so distracting," he says, pulling her thick brown hair off of one of her shoulders and buries his face into her neck, breathing in her scent. He pulls her closer, pressing his front flush against her back, and he allows his fangs to extend and he slowly sinks them into her neck. Sofia's eyes darken, and the dark veins appear underneath her eyes as she allows her fangs to extend as well. A growl rumbles lowly in her throat and she turns around, biting into Kol's neck, and taking a few mouthfuls of his blood. When the bite heals, Sofia pulls back, and Kol looks at her fully 'vamped-out' face with a smirk, and lust filled eyes. Sofia smirks back, and crashes her lips onto his. Kol reaches behind her and goes to remove her bra, but she quickly moves away and begins to dress. "You're a cruel woman, sweets," Kol says, darkly, glaring at her and Sofia smiles sweetly at him.

"Don't worry, I'll more than make it up to you later," Sofia says, and Kol raises an eyebrow at her.

"I'll be making sure you keep your word, darling," Kol says, quickly dressing, and Sofia smirks.

"I'll be looking forward to that," Sofia says, pulling on her top. "You can go ahead. I'll leave in a few minutes," she says, walking to the bathroom.

"Don't be long, sweets," he says, placing his large hands on her hips, and kissing her neck, then her cheek, and then finally lays a long, lingering kiss on her lips. She smiles a bit when Kol releases her, and leaves the hotel suite. Sofia takes her time applying a bit of make up, and she pulls her hair back into a ponytail. She goes back into the bedroom, and pulls on some shoes, and her jacket, and she exits the hotel suite. Once outside the hotel, Sofia quickly blurs away, and appears at the batting cages where they're supposed to meet Jeremy. Sofia walks around the corner of the main building to the cages, and she sees two, very familiar faces.

Damon and Elena.

"Sofia?" Elena asks, seeing the vampire, and Damon, who was about to stab Kol, glances behind him. Kol takes this opportunity to kick Damon away, and he grins at Sofia.

"Nice of you to join us, sweets," Kol says, cheerily. He walks to the rack of bats and chooses an aluminum bat. "You know, I'll never get use to aluminum. But hey, at least it won't break," Kol says, and goes to hit Damon with the bat, and Sofia blurs forward, pinning Damon to the wall by the neck when she sees him about to stab Kol with a piece of a broken wooden bat. Damon quickly reaches up, and jams the piece of wood into Sofia's neck, making Sofia gasp out in pain. Both of her hands go to her neck when Damon pulls the wood out her neck, and she feels her blood seeping through her fingers, and running down her body.

Sofia hears Kol growl loudly, and he hits Damon across the back with the aluminum bat. Damon quickly recovers, and stabs Kol through the heart with the same piece of wood that was used to stab Sofia.

"No, Kol!" Sofia gasps out, feeling her neck healing slowly. She sees Kol's face turn an ashy gray color, and the veins in his face protrude, and his eyes turn dull and lifeless. Sofia's eyes darken with rage, and her fangs extend. A low growl sounds from Sofia's throat, and she stands up, before lunging at Damon. Damon quickly rips the piece of broken bat out of Kol's chest and stabs Sofia through the stomach. Sofia lets out a groan of pain, and she collapses to her knees. "You bastard," she growls out, beginning to remove the wood from her stomach.

"I've been called way worse than that… 'Sweets'," Damon mocks, and blurs forward, snapping her neck sharply. Damon lets Sofia's body drop next to Kol's with the piece of wood still lodged in her stomach.

Nearly half an hour later, Kol slowly regains consciousness. He groans a bit, and rises to his feet. He stretches his muscles a bit, and takes the cell phone out of his pocket and sees a text message from Klaus, telling him to take care of the vampire that all of the Originals once knew, Mary. He pockets his cell phone and looks back at the ground, and he growls a bit upon seeing Sofia's body. She's lying on her side, with her neck at an odd angle. He turns her over a bit, and removes the wood from her stomach, and he rises back to his full height when her fingers twitch a bit. A few seconds later, Sofia groans, her once peaceful face morphing into a frown, and she sits up.

"We have to leave, sweets," Kol says, and Sofia rises to her feet. "We're going vampire hunting."

"Please tell me you mean that son of a bitch Damon?" Sofia asks, glaring harshly at the sky while she rolls her neck a bit.

"I have a feeling we'll run into him where we're going," Kol says.

"Where are we going?" Sofia asks.

"To a vampire named Mary Porter's home," Kol says, and Sofia groans in annoyance.

"Scary Mary?" Sofia asks, and Kol chuckles as he blurs back to the hotel. Sofia follows his lead, and they go straight to their hotel suite once they arrive. They quickly pack their things as they talk.

"You know her?" Kol asks, and Sofia grunts softly, annoyed.

"She and Marcello had a thing a few decades back. She was more than interested in me when she found out about our relationship," Sofia says, and Kol smirks.

"I'm not surprised," he says, and picks up his bags, and Sofia does the same and they exit the suite. Sofia returns the keys to the room, and they exit the hotel. They quickly get into Sofia's car, and she wastes no time in beginning the drive. "You know where she is, then?"

"Of course. She's not big on traveling. She became quite the recluse when Marcello ended things with her. She tried to kill him. She's lucky that I didn't kill her," Sofia growls.

Hours pass, and Kol and Sofia finally find themselves at Mary Porter's home. Kol and Sofia silently enter the old vampire's home, and they leave the door open to not alert Mary of their presence. They hear the vampire in the bedroom, and Kol quickly blurs in that direction.

"Kol?" she hears Mary's voice ask, semi-excitedly, and Sofia casually enters the room behind him. "Sofia?" she asks, glaring at the brunette.

"Good evening, Mary," Kol says, pleasantly. "Unfortunately this visit is more for business than pleasure," he continues, pulling the piece of broken bat out of his jacket pocket, and Mary's eyes turn fearful. She goes to blur out of the room, but Sofia catches her quickly, before throwing her to Kol, who quickly stakes her against the wall. Sofia and Kol watch as Mary's face grays and her head hangs limply, her chin nearly touching her chest. Sofia quickly blurs back downstairs, and shuts the door, knowing that Damon and Elena would be showing up shortly, and she rushes back to the bedroom and sees Kol sitting in a chair by the bed with a bat in his hand.

"You certainly look ready to hurt someone," Sofia comments, and Kol smirks at her.

"I'm always ready to hurt someone," Kol says, and Sofia chuckles. Not long after, they hear a car pull up to the house, and Sofia looks out the window, and sees Damon and Elena approaching the house.

"We have company," Sofia comments, and Kol grins, his eyes lighting up at the fact that he'll soon get to inflict pain upon someone.

"Let's give them quite the surprise then, shall we?" Kol asks, and Sofia walks back over to him, and sits on the arm of the chair, before reaching over and turning off the lamp next to her. Kol reaches around her, and places a possessive hand on her hip.

"Oof, like Vampire Hoarders," Damon comments upon entering the house, and Sofia can't help but agree with him.

"Who is this Mary person?" they hear Elena ask.

"Scary Mary. She's really old, super creepy," Damon says.

"And how do you know her?" Elena asks.

"I dated her," Damon says, and Sofia rolls her eyes.

"Of course," Elena says, making Sofia smirk.

"What? I said creepy, not ugly," Damon says. Sofia grows impatient, and kicks the dresser next to her, causing Elena and Damon to stop moving for a bit, and soon enough Kol and Sofia see the door open, and a light shines through the room, landing on Mary's dead body. "Mary," Damon mutters, and Sofia reaches over and turns on the lamp.

"Quite contrary," Kol says, drawing the attention to him and Sofia. Kol keeps a hand on Sofia's hip, as he looks at Elena and Damon with a smirk, but Sofia can see that behind that smirk, there's anger in his eyes. Kol removes his hand from Sofia and stands up, casually walking over to stand in front of Mary's body.

"Shame about Mary, she used to be a blast. Don't quite know what happened. I fear all the time she spent with my family might have ruined her. She was a bit of an Original groupie," Kol says, and Damon smirks before looking at Sofia.

"Sounds like someone else I know," he remarks, and Sofia glares darkly at him.

"No, no, there's a difference," Kol cuts in, smirking at Damon. "Mary there only held my family's attention for a short time, while my sweets there has held my attention for over 600 years."

"And were you Mary's favorite?" Elena asks.

"You mean, did I turn her?" Kol asks, and smirks. "I think I did. But no, wait, maybe it was Rebekah. There was also a Klaus period. And let's not forget the Elijah affair. I spoke to my brother, I know you're trying to find out who you descended from. Now you never will. So, where did we leave off?" Kol asks, tapping the bat on the floor a bit before hitting Damon in the legs with it, causing him to fall to the floor. Kol hits Damon in both arms, making him lay on the floor in pain.

"Elena, get out of here!" Damon groans, and Elena glances at Sofia who is sitting in the chair, previously occupied by Kol, who is watching the scene with interest and slight amusement. Elena quickly turns around to rush out of the room, but she's blocked by Kol.

"According to my brother you're off limits. Please don't test me," Kol says, before pushing Elena farther into the room, making her fall to the floor and she hits her head on a desk. Damon quickly gets up and grabs Kol around the neck.

"Don't touch her," he growls and Kol throws Damon off of him.

"Oh dear, I've hit a nerve!" Kol exclaims, looking at Sofia with an amused grin on his face. "Relax darling! I just want us to be even! You snapped my neck, you killed my brother, and then you humiliated me," Kol says before savagely hitting Damon on the back with the bat a few more times. "There, now we're even," Kol says, tossing the bat away, and Sofia stands, ready to leave, but she's surprised when Kol picks Damon up by the collar of his shirt. "But I'm not quite finished yet," he says, and reaches over, and pulls the piece of broken wood out of Mary's chest, and plunges it into Damon's stomach. "Let me make myself quite clear. If you ever lift a finger to Sofia again, I'll rip your heart out, and shove it down her throat," Kol starts, gesturing to Elena who is watching with wide, fearful eyes, "while your brother watches. Do you understand?" Kol growls so darkly that even Sofia can't help but be a bit scared.

"Perfectly," Damon groans, and Kol pulls the piece of bat out of Damon's stomach before quickly plunging it into his neck, and letting him drop to the floor. Kol casually turns around, and makes to exit the room with Sofia following after him without sparing Damon and Elena another glance. The two older vampires exit the house, not bothering to shut the door behind them.

-TNOF-

A few nights later, Sofia and Kol are on their way to New York when Sofia receives a phone call. She grabs her phone out of her pocket, and smiles a bit when she sees Trenton's name flashing on her screen.

"Well, hello Trenton," Sofia says, happily.

"Hey, Sof. I'd love to take the time to find out where the hell you are but there's a problem," Trenton says, and Sofia frowns.

"What's wrong?" Sofia asks.

"Alaric didn't die," Trenton says, and Sofia looks at Kol who's driving, and he looks at her with a frown.

"What do you mean?" Sofia asks, recalling the fact that he'd just called her the night before, telling her that Alaric was being made into a vampire by Esther, but he wasn't going to complete the transition.

"He fed from Bonnie. And he's… He's really powerful, Sofia. He's more powerful than the Originals. Rebekah stabbed him with the last white oak stake, and he didn't die, but this isn't just what I called for. Look… As pissed off as I am at you… I remembered a spell that the warlock who trained me had in an old grimorie. It's a spell that can prevent a vampire from dying by tying them to another vampire in a way," Trenton says, and Sofia rolls her eyes a bit.

"I'm not exactly all for another linking spell, Trenton," Sofia says.

"It's not like that. Say that by some chance, you got staked," Trenton says, and Sofia raises an eyebrow. "If you did this spell with Kol, his blood could save you, and vice versa," he says, and Sofia's eyebrows shoot to her hairline and she looks sharply at Kol, who looks at her, interested.

"Why are you telling me this?" Sofia asks, and Trenton chuckles a bit in disbelief.

"Because if Alaric, the vampire/vampire hunter finds you, and kills Kol, then you die too, and I'd feel like a total piece of shit if you died and I never told you about the spell that could potentially save both of your lives," Trenton says, and Sofia smiles a bit.

"Where do I find the warlock who can do this?" Sofia asks, and Trenton chuckles, amused.

"Well, he's the warlock that trained me. I think you know exactly where to go, and who to go to," Trenton says, and Sofia frowns a bit, before she groans loudly in annoyance, making Trenton laugh.

"Thanks, Trenton," Sofia mutters, and hangs up. She sighs through her nose, before looking at Kol who glances at her. "How do you feel about going back to New Orleans?"

-TNOF-

"New Orleans sure has changed since we were last here," Kol comments as they walk down Bourbon Street the next night.

"Everything's changed since you've been daggered, Kol," Sofia comments, still not happy about the person that they have to see.

"So who's this warlock that we're going to see?" Kol asks, and Sofia sighs.

"One of the most powerful warlocks I've ever met," Sofia mutters as they approach the bar that she knows that the warlock will be in. Kol and Sofia walk into the smoky bar, and she scans the bar for the man that they're looking for. She eventually spots the familiar black trench coat and fedora, and she reluctantly makes her way over to the table that he sits at. When Kol and Sofia arrive at the card table, she walks around to the other side so that the warlock can see her.

"Well, well," the warlock's deep Cajun accented voice calls out after looking at Sofia from underneath his fedora. "If it isn't the stunning Sofia Panzano… As I live and breathe," he says, with a cocky smirk. His smirk widens when Sofia's face remains blank. "Why don't you and your friend sit down and join us for a game?" he asks as he shuffles the playing cards in his hands a bit before gesturing to two of the empty seats at the table that are in between a couple of other men.

"No," Sofia says simply, and glances at Kol. "Gentlemen, why don't you give us a little time alone with him?" Sofia suggests, looking at the two unidentified men sitting at the table.

"I don't think so, sweetheart," one of the men says, and Kol walks over to him, and hauls him up by the back of his jacket, and turns him around to look him in the eye.

"Leave," Kol compels the man, and the man blinks a bit before turning and walking away. Sofia does the same with the other man, who leaves immediately, and Sofia looks back at the warlock.

"Now, Kol, this is Remy Bordereaux," Sofia introduces. "One of the most powerful warlocks in America, and also definitely the most annoying."

"Ah, so this is Kol," Remy grins, looking at the Original vampire that stands next to Sofia with a possessive hand on her back. "How wonderful that you got your lover back. How long did you spend without him again, belle?"

"Too long," Sofia mutters, taking a seat at the table.

"And how old is your warlock friend that I trained? Trenton, was it?" Remy asks, and Sofia looks at him.

"He's fine. He's the reason we're here," Sofia says, looking into the warlock's dark eyes. "He told me that there's a spell that you can do on vampires that would tie them together to protect them incase one of them is staked."

"Ah, yes. My great, great, grandfather came up with that one. Very difficult, but very effective. It's been a heavily guarded secret, but as you know, it's not easy to keep secrets from Trenton," Remy says, and Sofia nods a bit.

"We need you to perform it on us," Sofia says, looking at Kol and then back to Remy.

"And what do I get if I do?" Remy asks his eyes mischievous.

"You get to live to see your next birthday," Sofia growls, glaring at him, and Remy laughs.

"You know, I've never been able to deny a beautiful woman anything… But in this case I'm going to have to say no," Remy says, and Kol flashes to stand beside his chair, and he pulls him out of his seat by his neck.

"Wrong answer, mate," Kol growls, and abruptly lets go of Remy's neck and grips his head, groaning in pain. Sofia glares at Remy, and rises to her feet.

"Enough!" Sofia barks, glaring venomously at the powerful warlock. Remy chuckles and stops what he's doing to Kol, before looking at Sofia. Kol immediately stands, and grabs Remy around the neck, and slams him down onto a table. Before Remy can retaliate, Sofia puts a hand on Kol's chest. "Kol, stop. Not here, okay?" Sofia asks, and Kol glares down at the warlock. "Kol," Sofia mutters, looking around, seeing that they're drawing a lot of attention to themselves. Kol glances at Sofia before reluctantly releasing the warlock from his grasp. Sofia pulls Kol back a bit, and watches as Remy stands, straightening out his coat, and he casually retakes his seat. Remy raises an eyebrow when a thick stack of hundred dollar bills are tossed in front of him. "That's five thousand dollars," Sofia says, sitting back down in her chair, and crossing one of her legs over the other. "A bit more than your usual price, but I'm assuming that, that spell won't be easy, so I added in a little extra."

"Now you're speaking my language," Remy states, picking up the money, and casually looking it over. He studies the two vampires for a few moments before smirking. "Fine. I'll do it, but despite the money, you'll owe me."

"Fine," Sofia says before Kol can dispute Remy's statement.

"Be at my home by noon tomorrow, everything will be ready," Remy says, and Sofia and Kol rise from their seat, and without another word to the warlock, they begin to walk away. "I suggest that the two of you strengthen up. The spell isn't going to be easy… For any of us," they hear Remy say as they walk, and they exit the bar.

"I want him dead," Kol growls when they exit the bar.

"I know you do. But unfortunately you can't kill him," Sofia says, and Kol glares at her. "Come on. He said that we have to strengthen up. I suggest we listen to him," Sofia says, and Kol sends her a smirk.

"Well, you've picked our meals the last couple of times, sweets. My turn."
