Chapter 53
I held the letters that Kol had given me before he left last night. I had just gotten him back and a split second he was gone again. I looked at the names that were written carefully on the envelopes. Three names that defiantly needed some explanation.
I held the phone tightly to my ears, waiting for him to answer. For some reason I was kind of nervous. On the third ring he finally answered.
Andrea: Hey Elijah, its Andrea. You said I could call if I needed to talk
Elijah: oh Andrea, this is a surprise do you need my help already
Andrea: hah not really I was just wondering if we could meet up and talk. Only if you are not busy
Elijah: I am never busy for you. What about we meet up at Coffee Block around about 12, we can grab some lunch
Andrea: Sure sounds great, see you there
With that I hung up, Elijah was always so easy to talk to; I don't know why I was nervous. Now I just had to find a good way to say his brother was still alive.
I walked in to the coffee shop of course Elijah was already there waiting just like a gentleman.
"Hey Elijah, thanks for meeting me" I said as I walked over to him and face him, he got up and gave me a great big hug, I smiled feeling the warmth that both his brothers gave when they gave me hugs.
"No problem Andrea, you sounded nervous on the phone, everything okay" he asked gesturing me to join him. I had already ordered me a coffee.
"Yeah everything is great actually, I wanted to thank you for telling Klaus where I was" I said, I looked at him and I think he thought I was being sarcastic. "You were right, my new life wasn't working, I didn't let me forget about the things that had happened, when Klaus turned up we worked things out and I opened up to him." I said as I smiled and looked at him. He smiled back to me and touched my hand.
"That's good Andrea, I hate to admit this but Klaus actually really cares about you and I haven't seen that since he was human" he said. I always wondered what Klaus was like when he was human. "You know it is not your fault about Kol being killed, you couldn't have done anything to prevent it." He said leaning in a little bit, I hated lying to him and I knew it was time to tell him the truth.
"Elijah, can you look around this Coffee shop and tell me if there are any other Vampires in here" I whispered while leaning over the table. He looked at me weirdly but then turned his head and looked around.
"Yeah I can tell, why" he asked looking back to me and waiting for my answer.
"Is there any Vampires" I asked, not wanting any other vampires to hear what I was about to say.
"No, why do you want to know this" he asked looking at me more sternly now, he wanted answer. I leaned a little bit further; my nerves began to sink in.
"Because the next thing I am going to tell you, it can't leave us. It's a secret. No one can know especially any Vampires" I said. I stared at him waiting for his answer.
"Fine I understand, it's between us. What is up you are scarring me a little bit" he said. I didn't want to worry him but I just didn't know how to.
I went through my bag and grabbed the letter Kol had written Elijah. I pushed it towards him and watched while he grabbed it and stared at it.
"It's from Kol, he told me to give this to you" I said as I watched for his reaction, but his face still had no expression he just stared down at the Envelope.
"What he wrote it a told you to give it to me if anything happened to him?" he asked, that would have been the answer in a normal world but we all know this world is far from normal.
"No not exactly, he wrote last night" I said stuttering a little bit, with all my nerves. "He wrote it before he left last night" I said, he looked up from the letter and had a confused look on his face.
"Kol was killed by Elena" I said re thinking what I just said. I could help fidgeting " well he did but I brought him back to life and he has been alive for these last couple of months" I said, he just looked at me in more confusion, he didn't know what to say I don't think he believed me.
"No but his body burned, Klaus even saw it, I don't understand what you are saying." He said looking at me in shock. I couldn't tell if he was angry.
"I did a spell, the day after I saw him at the ball; he knew something bad was going to happen, so I did a spell to save his body even if it did go up in flames. When Elena killed him he did technically die but his body was saved, all I had to do was bring him back to life." I said, I just looked at me in confusion, shock, stunned and surprised. He looked down and then back up.
"So you are telling me that Kol is alive and has been this whole time" he asked, I just shook my head, I knew it was unfair to keep it a secret.
"He didn't want anyone to know, I am sorry I didn't tell you but I had to stick by what Kol wanted" I said, Elijah just leaned into his head, I knew he was upset, he was always the caring one out of the Originals.
"So where is he now" he asked. I wanted to tell him but I didn't know where Kol had run to.
"I don't know, he didn't tell me. He has been so interested with this cure and besides he didn't want anyone to now because he doesn't want it getting back to Elena and the group that he was alive. He said he wanted a new beginning, a new life" I said as I continued to look at him, I could tell he was trying to take all of this in.
"It's all in the letter Elijah" I said looking at him starring at the envelope. "He has put his number on the back and told me to tell you to ring whenever and said you will probably run in together someday. "I said I could tell he was upset but happy he was alright at the same time.
He opened the letter and scanned the page "I am not mad at you Andrea but I am just shock that Kol is alive and the fact you didn't tell me. "He said glancing at me. I kind of felt guilty about lying to him.
"He didn't want to run but he is so obsessed with Sileus and killing him, he thinks that getting a new identity and life would be best" I said, I was happy to see his face was not as tensed as before.
"That's Kol for you" he smiled and laughing a little bit.
"He said that he put his number on it and you can call anytime" I said as I looked over and scanned the room before turning back towards Elijah.
"Yeah it does it I will call him later" he said placing the envelope down. He just looked at me nto saying a word.
"I am sorry Elijah, these past couple of months has been just practically searching for Sileus, he worked out a plan just in case Sileus is woken, and that will protect all of us" I said softly, hoping he would story staring at me like this.
He just kept starring until he finally spoke. " thank you Andrea, for saving Kol and letting him have another chance, just like before you have helped our family and shown you love" he said smiling softly, I could see he was still in shock but a least he wasn't mad at me for lying to him.
We talked for a little longer, I explained it more to him, I knew I couldn't stay any longer I had to keep my promise and go back home.
"Thank you again Andrea. Call me if you need anything" he said pulling me into a hug while we stood in front of my car.
"That's okay; I will "I said smiling while looking up at him. Elijah was always so gentle.
"I love you and say hello to my Brothers for me, I hope he is on his best behavior." He said laughing at the last bit while opening the door like a gentleman. I just giggled while I jumped into the car and started the engine; I knew I had a long car trip home.
"Love you to Elijah" I said before driving off. I wanted to get back as soon as possible. I knew telling Elijah was the easiest, now I had to work out how I was going to tell Klaus and Rebecca.
