A/N~ Chapters 47-49 were set on the same day, I wanted to make them separate chapters so that it wouldn't be too long and then chapter 50 was meant to be her birthday. So this chapter is the day after her birthday! I thought I'd clear it up since I mentioned her birthday and then kind of left it until now. Anyway hope you enjoy and let me know what you think.
Chapter 51: Kiss My Heart
Jane's POV~
I forced myself through the last meal at the hospital before going home, I hated hospital food, and I'd rather drink blood any day. The battery on my IPod was down to its last as I eagerly waited for Caroline to come and pick me up.
It felt nice being back in my normal clothes again, but of course it was advised that I didn't wear heels just yet. Which of course I wasn't the most pleased about. My room grew colder so I wrapped myself tighter in my cardigan.
I was desperate to leave this place, I felt trapped in a cage whilst a monster circled me. I knew Silas was out there, waiting for me, maybe he was already in here? Pretending to be a doctor or nurse? It was exhausting being on high alert all the time. But as usual I was helpless, there was nothing that could be done until the cure was found, and I didn't even know if anyone was trying to look for it yet!
I flicked through my phone, hoping to pass the time quicker. I pressed my lips together as my thumb hovered over Sophia's name, I didn't know whether to call or not. I sighed and shook my head with disbelief, why was I so reluctant to call my best friend? I finally pressed call, and waited patiently as the phone rang.
-Jane, hey, how are you?-
"Hiya Soph…I'm alright I guess" I chuckled and went to continue but a nurse walked in.
"We're going to have to ask you to sign these discharge papers Miss Carter" I scowled at the nurse
"It's Thomas, not Carter" I grumbled "I'm a bit busy…"
"Sorry Miss, I'll come back later" The nurse quickly back out of my room.
"Sorry about that Soph…"
-Discharge papers?! Are you in hospital!-
"Erm…kinda…I'm alright now" I pinched my nose as she continued to speak, asking if I was ok, what was wrong, did she need to come and visit…I smiled, I missed her a lot. "I promise you, I'm fine! I just fell down the stairs, I came in to see if I had broken anything" I lied as I ran my hand over where my leg was once broken. She sighed with relief "How's Mia doing?" She giggled
-Mrs Farrow is doing very well!- I smiled brightly.
"Aw! They're finally married!" She chuckled down the phone
-Yeah! Ooo! And they're having a girl!-
I squealed even louder and began to cry, I wished I was there with them. Everything I was missing out on, all the memories that I'd never have. I'd given it all up, for what? To live in fear of Silas? To always be the human that needed saving?
-Jane, what's up?- Her voice brought me back to reality, I quickly wiped my tears away.
"Injection" I lied again, she laughed. "Take my mind off it with more news" I listened to her pause, I knew she wanted to tell me something. "I'll start crying again!"
-Ok! Ok!- She gave in – Me and Nate!
"Together?"
-Yeah!- She giggled loudly like a school girl, I knew that she'd liked him for longer than I could remember, but it made me wish I was there even more. I saw Caroline by the door, I motioned her in.
"Is there anything else I need to know? Caroline's here to pick me up" I looked up and saw the nurse glaring into my room. "And the nurses are trying to get rid of me" I chuckled.
-Don't think we haven't forgotten that it was your birthday yesterday! Hope you had a lovely day, and that Kol treated you to something nice!- I laughed and shook my head
"It was, and he did" I lied about it being a nice day, but smiled to myself at the thought of Kol "I miss you"
-I miss you too sweetie, be safe!- I closed my eyes and pressed my lips before lying again.
"I will, I promise" I hung up the phone and dropped it beside me before cupping my face, how much more could I lie?
"You know you're doing the right thing"
"I do, especially now there's going to be a baby involved…"
"Miss Thomas the papers!" I clenched my fists and growled at the intrusive nurse.
"Fuck you and your stupid papers!" I snatched the clipboard from her fingers and ripped the paper. "I know I'm going, you know I'm going and so do all of the staff here." I grabbed my bag and stormed out of the room. Just before I got out of earshot I heard Caroline apologising to the nurse and run after me.
"Jane? What is wrong with you?" She questioned.
"She was getting under my skin with those damn papers" I growled through my teeth before rolling my eyes. "Aren't I allowed to be on edge? Baring in mind that I've been trapped in here"
"Fine, but you didn't have to be rude" She looked at me sternly.
"Sometimes in life you have to be rude to get what you want"
"And what do you want?" I almost laughed at her attempting to give me life lessons.
"The world isn't cotton candy Care, even in the human world" I sighed "That's what you all forget…there is a life and there are lives out of the damn town" I stormed away from her, I needed to go find an adult to speak with.
Ryan's POV~
I stood beside the fireplace staring into the flame. It had been an intense couple of days, with numerous methods of torture to find out information that I didn't even know myself; Damon soon gave up and let me free from the cell. But of course I couldn't leave the house; I still hadn't obtained the nifty ring that would prevent me from being BBQ.
It was now 4pm and I began wondering whether it was still light out I peeped through the curtain; I instantly regretted it as I jumped back and cupped my burnt cheek. As I grumbled and groaned I looked back up to see the familiar face of Katherine, I narrowed my eyes making her heart race. I jumped up and appeared in front of her, I didn't remember Katherine having a racing heart…I stood back slightly and tilted my head.
"If you're not Katherine? Who are you?"
"I-I'm Elena…" He sighed with relief as I stepped away from her. "And you are?"
"Ryan Barnes" I admired Damon's collection of alcohol. "I tried to kill Jane under brain wash" I chirped and turned around. "Sly little slut who looks just like you turned me, wouldn't know where twinny is would you?"
"Katherine isn't my twin" She scowled at me.
"Or whatever you are in relation to her…" I sighed "Do you know if Jane's alright?"
"Why would you care? You tried to kill her" I rolled my eyes and lightly shook my head.
"Never mind, I'm bored now…See you around Elena" I raised both brows before going back to the cellars and into the fridge.
I ripped open the bag and quietly drank, this vampire thing was relatively easy to get used to, all I needed was a daylight ring. But of course I had no way of retrieving one, especially in this town where the only vampires I knew were bitter with me.
I finished off the blood bag and threw it away; maybe if I proved that I was useful then I could find a place here. I began to wonder where Jane was, I couldn't stop thinking about her since the day I took her into the hospital. I tried everything but I just couldn't shift the thoughts, they were consuming me.
Rubbing my forehead I returned upstairs where Damon and James were deep in conversation, I walked right in and caught a part of the topic, a cure. I quickly turned back but they noticed me.
"Earwigging?" James scowled towards me; I shook my head and shoved my hands into my pockets.
"Just walked in…however I did catch a word…Cure?" He looked back at Damon "Other than that I haven't a clue what you guys are on about"
"Just tell him" Damon butted in "With Silas out there we kinda need all the help we can get"
"Ahá Silas! The big baddie trying to kill everyone"
"Especially Jane, we don't know why he's targeting her"
"So this cure is going to help her? What's it a cure for? Flu?" I smirked but their expressions remained unmoved.
"Vampirism" My mouth dropped
"You're saying there's a cure for vampirism…Jane isn't a vampire though" They rolled their eyes "Unless…" I thought for a moment "Silas wants it and is threatening her life until he gets it!" I was pretty proud of myself for figuring it out. "That explains my involvement, so where is it?"
"We don't know, Katherine took it before we could. Problem is when Silas found her she'd hidden it away where even she didn't know" Damon poured himself and James a drink as he spoke "Since we can't get in hold of her we're pretty much stuck"
"So how can I help?" I chirped up ready for action
"You can't and you aren't" James scowled as he sipped his drink
"One we don't like you, and two you can't go in sunlight" I sighed at Damon, I hated being stuck inside, I missed the daylight.
"Come on let me help, it's the least I can do since trying to kill her…Please" I begged, they reluctantly rolled their eyes and nodded.
"You're still not going to be useful" I smirked
"When Katherine and I first met she said she came from out of town" They glanced at each other as I continued "Charleston, and if I'm right in thinking…that's not too far away. Maybe there'll be a lead there" I put my hands in my pockets again as hope crossed their eyes.
"This better lead to something Ryan, your life depends on it" James got close to my face, I stood my ground.
"If I don't find this cure, I'll rip my heart out myself" I smiled and patted his arm. "Who's driving?"
Jane's POV~
My stupid human self-took over as I enter the cemetery slowly, I'd finally run out of fucks to give about the current Silas problems, however I knew I'd regret that admission soon. I hated my involvement in all of this, how did visiting my friends turn into the fatal mess? I wasn't the only one being threatened though, I took some slight comfort that I wasn't the only helpless human in this mess. But no actual near death moments or assassins had gone after Matt or Elena, I wondered what personal vendetta Silas had against me.
I took a deep breath as stood in front of Nana May's grave, slowly kneeling down I pressed my fingertips into the cold hard ground. Tears were now on the edge of my eyelids, what would she say to this? I rested my forehead against the coldness of her headstone and let a few tears loose.
"I thought you'd be here" I jumped back and looked up to see Kol. "Caroline called, told me what happened, so I guessed you'd be here….spending time with an adult"
I smiled and looked up to him; he always knew how to lighten my heavy heart. He held out his hand and looked deep into my eyes.
"I have something to show you" I took his hand and he lead my into his arms, he stroked my cheek before lightly kissing me. "I never told you happy birthday"
I smiled for a short while before frowning, as I did so his arms tightened around me, squeezing the air out of me. I gasped loudly and tried to wriggle free.
"You think Kol would be happy we just kissed?" I growled furiously as Kol's voice changed into Silas's.
"I don't think he'd care since you did a crappy job" He seemed surprised but still clutched onto me tightly. I final wriggle and I decided this would be harder than expected.
"Your mind is to accessible, your temper is quite short" I frowned as he spoke "It was difficult to stay in character in that hospital when you snatched the clipboard from me" I growled furiously before elbowing his side, stamping on his foot and then head-butting his nose. He stumbled back and grumbled. "Where did that come from?!" He spat loudly, I flicked my hair and scowled before kicking his crotch as hard as I could.
"I've watched Miss Congeniality" I didn't hesitate running away from that place, I realized getting attacked in graveyards was my thing…maybe I'd stop visiting them from now on. I managed to catch a cab and get to the Mikaelson Manor within a short amount of time.
I walked into the house and was soon greeted by a panicked Kol's face, he pulled my in tightly and hugged me. This was the Kol I knew so well and loved.
"Where have you been? Have you forgotten who's out there?" He scowled as he stood back. "You could've got killed!" He breathed heavily and I calmly watched as his eyes veined.
I ignored him and pulled him into my body, my lips pressed against his I held him a tightly as I could. Our kiss deepened and I tugged at his hair, he suddenly pulled back.
"Jane what is going on?"
"I'm fed up with everything, high on adrenaline and I haven't had sex since New York" His eyes widened as I grabbed his shirt and pulled him closer "Make love to me now"
"Very well darling" He purred making me even crazier, I began to unbutton his shirt but he took my hands and looked at me, his eyes flashing cheekily. He lifted me up and threw me over his shoulder, I squealed and held onto his shirt as he carried me away…
Kol's POV~
'Big Teeth Small Kiss, I turn to wax and melt like this, melt like this'
Her desperation made me realize how little and few times we had sex, the whole Silas problem had kept us preoccupied. As she lovingly looked into my eyes as I lay above her, her hear beat hitting against my skin, I remembered the mystery, the lust that I once had for her before everything became complicated and it came flooding back.
Her fingers lightly removed my shirt and threw it away from the bed. She bit into her lip as she ran her fingers up my torso and behind my neck, she pulled me in and kissed me passionately as she wrapped her legs around my waist tightly. Ripping her top away in shreds I placed my cold hands on her waist, pressing down hard as I tried to stay in control, her skin became swarmed in Goosebumps.
As I trailed my lips down her neck she gasped and shivered, I continued to go down, I lightly kiss her where her heart was. The beats hitting my lips and sending me crazy as I listened to her blood racing. I bolted up as I felt my fangs grew, she watched me closely before loosening her legs and cupping my face, grazing my fangs with her thumbs, her eyes glanced up into mine. She began kissing me again despite my fangs growing, I accidently bit into her lip. The taste of her blood exploding in my mouth. She looked away as if she was thinking, suddenly she pushed her hair over her shoulders exposing her neck, I swallowed hard.
"I trust you" She whispered and smiled lightly.
"Do you?" I raised an eyebrow as the chemistry began to die down. She knew this and crawled above me kissing me with even more passion.
"With my life" She purred, making me smirk.
I brushed her hair away and kissed her shoulder as I unbuttoned my trousers, her heart was racing now. With my free hand I held onto her hip as I let my fangs grow again, her fingernails lightly grazed over my back as I pressed my fangs against the soft skin of her neck.
I bit down as I entered her, she gasped loudly and dug her nails into me as I multitasked. The taste of her blood sent my senses haywire but I managed to stop myself. I pulled my mouth away, her blood dripping from my lips as I stared into her dark eyes.
I continued to make love to her late into the night until we exhausted ourselves, we rolled back and gasped from air. I bit into my wrist and brought it to her lips, she slowly drank my blood and I watched as her bite mark, scratches and bruises healed. Once finished she licked my wrist clean and cuddled into my side.
"Why did you do that? Let me feed from you" I asked as she drew shapes with her fingers on my chest before looking into my eyes.
"Because I love you, and I know how important blood sharing is to vampires" I smiled and looked away.
"That was actually the first time I've done that" She lightly dropped her mouth as she smiled.
"Really?" She cuddled in closer. "Why?"
"No-ones ever been special enough..." I looked down into her eyes and cupped her cheek "Until now"
'It's like I can't even feel, after the way you touched me. I'm not asleep but I'm not awake after the way you loved me'
A/N~ Italics are BTSK by Ms Mr and Sleepwalker by Adam Lambert. I used lyrics for most sex scenes in this story, I find it easier to get the emotion across, plus I'm awkward and find it difficult to write these scenes. I do recommend listening to these songs, even if its for a few seconds. Music inspires a lot of the chapter names and even some of the chapters, so I hope you enjoy them :)
