Chapter 36: When You're Crying Out

Kol's POV~

I know I keep my heart protected, far away from my sleeve.

I grumbled as I came back into consciousness and for a brief few moments everything was just a bright blur. I cursed to myself as I forced myself onto my feet, never would I have imagined that I'd have to save the girl I loved from an immortal I'd been trying to keep dead for most of my existence, but I was.

I clicked my arm back into place before looking around me, it was still day, but who knew how long I'd been out for. I rubbed my temples in frustration and pure rage as I tried to think where he could've taken her; I wanted to kick myself for not being strong enough for her. A part of me knew that this was my fault, who was I kidding? It was, I brought her here…

My phone began to ring, relief washed over me as I saw Jane's name come up.

"Jane?! Are you ok? Please…." I spoke fast but all I could here was laughing.

"She's fine, so far" I growled at Silas's voice "But how long she stays fine, who knows?"

"I swear I will kill"

"Good luck with that Kol" He sighed over the phone "I want you to bring me the cure, you have an hour"

"Or what?" I snarled. He chuckled again followed by the haunting screams of Jane, I felt hopeless. My body shook with fear and rage as I heard her cries across the phone. "How long do I have?" I begged in desperation.

"An hour" He then hung up on me, my breath was stuttered as I leapt into my car. I had to find it, and in just an hour I had to hurry.

Jane's POV~

The bruises and cuts on my skin documented my failed attempts to escape; with nothing else to do I just sat in silence tugging at the grass. I looked over my shoulder at the cliff edge, I guessed when I was going to die it would be over there. I sighed and looked back down to the floor, letting a stray tear fall I thought about everything I was missing. I hadn't even called the girls back in New York, what kind of friend was I?

As I looked up to the sun I realized that this would be the last time, I wished someone would comfort me. I wished Sophia or Care was here with me…

"So…is Kol your lover boy?" Silas sat beside me making me jump, I kept my head low. "I'm talking to you" He lifted my chin and smirked.

"No, he's not" I muttered quietly.

"But you love him, isn't that so?" He tilted his head. "And he loves you…" I shrugged and cradled my knees.

"What does it matter? I'm going to die anyway" I looked away from him and sighed, I guessed I had him speechless for a moment.

"Who says you're going to die tonight?" He chuckled "If your beloved gets his task right, you'll go home safe"

"I'll never be safe Silas" I sat up and stared into his eyes "Not when everyone I love is some sort of supernatural being, and it's not like I can just move on" He sighed and leant back.

"You know you fascinate me Jane"

"A lot of people say that" I joked before sighing; he seemed taken back at my attitude.

"Your life is ruled by fate Jane, and that's why I didn't kill you" He looked at me "Everything that has happened in your life has lead you here, you were born to be with Kol" I chuckled and shook my head, I knew he was psychotic but really? "It's true, you wonder why your parents hated you" I shot him a glance.

"How do you know that?" I spat aggressively, making him smile.

"A witch gave a prophecy about you before you were born…" He pretended to think hard "A prima dreamer destined to dance with the original blooded devil, she brown and gold whereas his skin is cold. Bound for one another and there is no mistake…" His lifted his hands and wiggled his fingers as he mocked me, I jumped to me feet.

"You're lying!" I shouted "You've been dead for 2000 years!" He appeared beside me again.

"Your dear friends Damon, Bonnie and Caroline knew…therefor I know" He smiled "Don't you think it's strange? How accurate it is?"

"Shut up!" I spat back and turned away.

"You don't really love him, and he doesn't really love you…its just fake" He followed me as I stormed away "The true meaning of the prophecy is up for grabs though…but here's my guess"

"I don't care what your guess is! I just want to go home!"

"I think…that you were born for my benefit" My eyes began to gloss "His love for you will get me what I want, and then your use is up…you have no purpose" He shrugged with a smile before grabbing me tightly "Maybe you shall die tonight…"

Kol's POV~

I slammed my fist into the Gilberts' front door, I still had 40 minutes. I continued to create noise until the hunter opened the door, a crossbow pointing at me. I pushed it away from my face and snarled.

"Where's Elena?" I barked

"Why do you want her" He replied coldly, I guessed he still had issues with me and Jane.

"Because if I don't find the cure in…" I glanced down at my watch "39 minutes than Jane is dead" His eyes widened in fear "So maybe I'll ask you…Where is the cure?"

He spun around and ran back into the house; I followed him as he grabbed the house phone.

"Elena?" He watched me as he spoke "Get everyone here, Jane's in danger" I listened to Elena's heavy breaths.

-What!-

"Elena we don't have time"

James's POV~

I stood in silence as I watched the flames engulf my greatest shame. Myeline stood in silence beside me; I could hear and smell her fear. I turned towards her.

"Why are you calm about this?" I frowned

"Trust me, on the inside I'm freaking the fuck out" She forced a smile and darted her eyes away quickly.

"You think I am going to kill you don't you" She bit into her lip before nodding, I chuckled.

"Then trust me…I'm not usually like that" I shoved my hands into my pockets "As a vampire your emotions are heightened and…" I shrugged before shaking my head.

"You really loved her didn't you?" I felt my heart pang before nodding; I looked up with watered eyes.

"I loved her till the end"
