Chapter. 36
*Alexa's POV*
- So that's what happened. –said Kol. I was in complete shock. I didn't know about all this. And now I felt bad.
- Esther deactivated your powers… –was the only thing that I managed to say.
- Yes, after I hurt Mikael. I didn't know how to control it. –he explained. –And after that they told me not to talk about it. It was like it never happened.
- You could have been very powerful… I mean you're the son of the original witch…
- Maybe, I guess we will never know. –he grinned.
- I'm sorry, Kol. I'm sorry for making a scene.
- Don't worry about it, darling. –he stroked my face and looked straight into my eyes. –I guess I would have reacted the same way or even worst.
- Never again hide something from me, or I will kick your ass. –I said and he laughed. He brought his face closer and I felt his lips on mine. He let himself fall back on the bed and we kept on kissing.
After a while, I rolled to the side, and lay next to Kol. He turned around a little bit and faced me. He started stroking my hair.
- Do you remember how much fun we had when we were children? –he suddenly asked.
- Of course I remember it.
- I remembered how I was the only one that could make you eat when you didn't want and the one who brought you to bed every night.
- You remember all that? –I asked surprised.
- I do. I would never forget about it. –he looked at me and stroked my hair. –I used to be always alone. Finn was always with father, Niklaus and Elijah were inseparable and Rebekah was too young. So, when my parents 'adopted' you, I was happy. I had someone to be with. You never left my side. I didn't have a lot of friends, but you were always there. –I smiled at him. –You were and still are my best friend. –he pecked my lips. I smiled at him.
- I don't know how we haven't killed each other yet! –I laughed. –We had our ups and downs. –I paused. –And I swear at times I wanted to kill you.
- But you love me too much to kill me.
- I sometimes hate you. You are so cocky and full of yourself. –I laughed.
- But if you killed me, you would miss me. And I would find a way to come back and torment you if you did it. –he giggled.
- So you would never leave me alone? –I asked.
- Never. –he brought his face closer and I felt his lips on mine. –You would never get rid of me.
- And what if someday I get bored of you and decide to leave you? –I asked when we pulled away.
- You will never get bored of me. –he said in a seductive voice.
- How do you know that?
- I just know it. –he stroked my face. –I'm irresistible. And you love me too much.
- And so do you… –I looked at his lips. He brought his face closer, but I pulled away.
- Don't be a tease, darling. –I giggled and bit my lip. This time he went in for a kiss and I didn't pull away.
All of a sudden his body was on top of mine and his hands explored every inch of it while we kept on kissing passionately. My hands tangled in his soft hair. And then his lips moved to my neck and up to my ear.
- I love you. –I heard Kol whisper in my ear with a seductive tone.
- I love you too. –I said and let ou a soft moan when he kissed my sensitive spot in the neck.
Kol kept o kissing my neck, while my hands played with his hair.
- Kol? –I called his name.
- Mmmh? –he stopped kissing my neck and looked up at me. I brought him closer and crashed his lips againt mine. When we pulled away we kept on looking at each other.
- Make love to me. –I said in a whisper that I knew he could hear. His eyes widened and he bit his lip.
- As you wish, darling. –he smirked and I felt again his lips on mine.
- Darling, are you ready? –I heard Kol ask. We were getting ready to go and see Katia again. We hoped that she could do the spell today.
- No, I'm not ready yet. –I answered. He suddenly appeared behind me and hugged me; I smiled while he kissed my neck.
- Well, I have a few things to do before going to see the witch. I'll get going and we'll see each other there, okay? –he asked. I nodded. He made me turn around and kissed my lips. –See you in a while, beautiful. –I blew him a kiss.
*Kol's POV*
I entered Katia's house and we were both sat in the living room. She was sitting in front of me.
- Today we can perform the spell. –she said.
- Is your sister here?
- She will arrive at any moment.
- Good. –there was a silence between us. –Katia? –I called her name. She looked up.
- Yes?
- I wanted to ask you something.
- And what is it? –she looked at me.
- I want to know if you can still feel my powers. I know it's stupid because my mother deactivated them, but you said you felt something that day and… –she didn't let me finish.
- Give me your hand. –she said. I did as she said. She closed her eyes and tried to concentrate. All of a sudden I felt a surge of electric and shivered.
- It's strange. –she opened her eyes.
- What?
- You said that your mother deactivated your powers when you were a child..
- Yes.
- I can feel something. But it can't be. When you turned into a vampire all that should have disappeared. You can't be a vampire and a warlock, it's impossible. It goes against the nature.
- Are my powers there? –my eyes widened.
- They're not really there, but I can feel a powerful strength in you. –there was a pause. She brought my hand closer to her. We were very close to each other. She closed her eyes and I looked at her, then her other hand went to my cheek. –You could have been a very powerful warlock, Kol. It's a shame that you couldn't fulfill your destiny. –she whispered in my ear and then she pulled back, her face still very close to mine. I sighed at her words. I could have been very powerful…
*Alexa's POV*
I silently opened the door to Katia's house and walked to the living room. I prayed that we could get rid of the link today. I was about to enter the living room when I saw something that made me stop. Kol and Katia and it looked like they were kissing and she was holding his hand. I was shocked.
Suddenly Kol pulled away and smiled at her, the things I had on my hands fell on the floor making them both look to where I was.
- Alexa. –I shook my head in disbelief.
- This is the reason why you wanted to leave sooner? To go on my back and cheat on me?
- Alexandra… What are you talking about? –Kol stood up looking confused.
- Don't play innocent, Kol. –I took a deep breathe. –I know what I saw. You were kissing. –Kol laughed.
- We weren't kissing.
And that's when I lost it and I threw myself on Kol and started hitting him, I could feel all his pain, but at that moment they rage took over it. I pulled away because I started feeling a huge migraine. I fell on the floor and saw Kol crying in pain.
- I had to do it. –I heard Katia say.
- Damn! I felt that too! –Kol complained.
- You are a bastard. –I cried and tried to hit Kol again.
- Alexandra we didn't kiss. –this time it was Katia who spoke.
- SHUT UP, WHORE! –I tried to attack her, but Kol stopped me. –LET ME GO! LET ME GO, YOU BASTARD! –I bared my fangs. He kept on holding me and I bit his arm with my fangs. I flinched when I did it.
- For God's sake, Alexandra. That hurt. –I snorted.
- You deserved it.
Kol turned me around, put his hands on my shoulders and looked straight into my eyes.
- Calm down. –he compelled me and I suddenly stopped fighting.
- You compelled me.
- Yeah, I did. You were going crazy.
- You cheated on me! With a witch! –I looked at Katia.
- HEAR ME OUT! –he raised his voice.
- No.
- God, Alexandra. We weren't kissing. I was just asking her if she could still feel my powers. We were close, yes, but we didn't kiss.
- You're lying.
- I'm not. Why would I want to kiss her? I love you and not her.
- Why were you so close? –I asked.
- I don't know. We just were. But we didn't kiss.
- Alexandra, believe him. –Katia walked to me. –He loves you to pieces. He didn't kiss me. He has only eyes for you. –she paused. –Plus, I would never in my life kiss a vampire. That's just disgusting.
- HEY! –Kol complained.
- Don't get me wrong. But you know that normally witches and vampires don't go together. –Kol raised an eyebrow and then he nodded. –Don't be mad at him. He didn't do anything. He just wanted to know if I could feel his powers, nothing else. –I took a deep breathe.
- Is that true? –I looked at Kol. He looked back at me and then he grabbed my hand.
- We just need a minute. –Kol said to Katia, she nodded. And he walked out of the house still holding my hand.
He stopped walking when we were in the garden and then looked at me.
- I'm stupid. –I said.
- A little bit. –I threw a death glare at Kol. He smiled.
- I always ruin everything.
- Hey, that's my thing to do. –he laughed and I smiled. –I'm the one who ruins everything. It's my speciality.
- I… I'm just scared of losing you. –I looked down. –Scared that someday you are going to find someone better than me and that you will leave me. –he cupped my face in his hands and made me look at him.
- I'm never going to leave you, Alexandra. I asked you to marry me for a reason. –he paused. –You're the only person I've loved and will love and I want to spend eternity with you. I won't love anyone else. I only have eyes for you. –he stroked my cheek and I enjoyed his touch. –I love you, okay? –he looked straight into my eyes.
- I'm sorry. –I apologized.
- It's okay. –he hugged me tight and when we pulled away he slowly leant in and I felt his lips touching mine. –Now let's go inside and let's get rid of this stupid link. It's driving me insane. –we both laughed.
- Kol? –I called his name.
- Yes?
- I love you. –I stood on my tip toes and pressed my lips against his. I felt him smiling through the kiss.
We entered the house again and I saw Katia sat on a chair. I walked to her.
- I'm sorry, Katia. I don't know what's gotten into me.
- Don't worry, Alexa. I understand. –she smiled and I did the same.
I felt Kol behind me, he hugged me.
- You make a great couple. –said Katia.
- Thank you. –said Kol.
- Someone is coming. –I informed when I heard some footsteps outside.
- That must be my sister. –Katia stood up and went to open the door.
A girl with brown hair and green eyes entered the room.
- This is my sister Daniela. And these are Kol and Alexa. –she said to her sister. –As I told you they're linked, and they want us to undo it.
- It won't be very difficult. –Daniela walked to us.
We all sat around the table. There were a lot of things on it.
- We will need your blood. –Daniela grabbed a knife and we offered her our palms and she cut them. –Okay, the rest is ready.
- I have to warn you that it will be painful. –Kol and I looked at each other and I felt his intertwining his fingers with mine under the table. –Are you ready? –she asked.
- Yes. –we both answered at the same time.
The both sisters started chanting in latin while they hold their hands and had their eyes closed.
We looked at them and then at each other, Kol smiled at me.
Suddenly I felt an immense pain and I let out a cry. Kol was in the same situation, but he was still holding my hand, he didn't let it go.
It was a horrible feeling; I wanted it to be over. I was in so much pain and seeing Kol like that made it even worst.
I looked at Katia and her sister and they both kept on chanting. How long would this take?
When she said it was going to be painful I didn't expect this.
A few minutes passed and it seemed like eternity. I couldn't take this anymore. I looked at Kol and he tried to comfort me with a smile but I knew he was in so much pain. I could feel it.
Breaking the link was a complicated thing.
All of a sudden I felt a piercing sensation in my heart and everything went black. I didn't even have time to check on Kol.
*Kol's POV*
I had woken up, we had both fallen unconscious after the sisters performed the spell, the pain was too much to handle.
I looked at my right side and saw Alexa lying there. She was still unconscious. I sat up.
- I think it worked. –said Katia. –How do you feel?
- Horrible, like if I had got beaten up. –I answered. –When you said it was going to be painful I didn't expect that. We went through hell.
- I know. But it had to be that way. –said Daniela.
I crawled to Alexa and hold her in my arms.
- I'm going to bring you some blood. You will need it. –informed Katia. I nodded.
- Bring her to the bedroom. She will be more comfortable in a bed, and so will be you. –Daniela said to me.
I tried to stand up as I could and picked Alexa up, Daniela guided me to a room, I walked inside and lay Alexa on the bed.
I lay next to her and stroked her face. I felt very weak and my eyes were closing, but I didn't want to fall asleep.
I heard the door opening and saw Katia entering with a glass of blood. I sat up and she gave me the glass. I quickly downed it and I started to feel better, but it wasn't enough.
- Thank you. –there was a pause. –For everything. –she smiled.
- She will wake up soon. I'm going to get more blood, you will both need it. –she walked to the door. And now rest a little bit.
- No, I want to be awake when she wakes up. –I said. Katia smiled and walked out of the room.
Alexa woke up after a while and Katia brought us some more blood. We really needed it. The spell and all that pain had weakened us.
- Thank you, both of you. –Alexa thanked the sisters. –It's amazing being unlinked.
- Yes, it is. We were going through hell because of that damn link. –I laughed.
- I think this is a goodbye. –said Alexa.
- I shouldn't be saying this. But, you're different than other vampires. –spoke Katia. –I wish you the best. And I hope to be invited to your wedding. –she laughed and we did the same.
- Thank you, Katia and Daniela. –I looked at them.
- I hope we see each other again. –said Katia. Daniel stood next to her smiling.
- Hope so! –Alexa hugged them both.
We arrived back to the house where we were staying and we saw that the door was open. What was going on? Had someone entered the house?
- The door is open… –I said. I tried to listen closely. –But I can't hear anything.
- Let's go and see what happened. –Alexa took a step forward, but I stopped her, I walked in front of her. I had the need to protect her. We didn't know what we would find in there.
We entered the house and heard and noise, then I saw something moving and I threw myself on it, pushing that someone against the wall and bearing my fangs.
- KOL! –I recognized that voice. It was Rebekah.
- Rebekah? –I pulled away and my face went back to normal. –Rebekah, what are you doing here? –asked Alexa. I pulled away from my sister.
- I came to warn you. –our eyes widened. –Nik knows that you found the witch and he's not happy about it.
- Did he hurt you? –I asked checking if she was okay.
- He doesn't know it was me who told you.
- Thank God. –Alexa was relieved.
- But you better run… He's furious.
