"You're not going to let it go, are you?" I questioned, glaring over at Kol. He gave me a deadpan look.
"What do you think, witch?" I rolled my eyes so hard I felt like they'd fall out. Kol pouted, whined, and complained about Elijah for the rest of the day after our meeting. Not that I gave a damn, but Jesus, he was annoying.
"I know you just called me annoying, Ororo! Stop it!" He grabbed a pillow, throwing it my way. I grabbed it midair, throwing it back at him. "Stop throwing shit! And quit pouting! You'd think you would want your physical body back, but no, you're acting like a child!"
"Because you're being stupid and putting your trust in Elijah and Niklaus! My brothers will do nothing but betray and kill you after Nik's curse is broken! Do you even have a plan or are you going to run into this half-cocked like last time?!"
Of all people scowling at me, I never thought Kol would be one of them.
"Well, are you?! Of course you are!
He's a fool if he thinks I'm going to sit here and let him of all people talk to me any kind of way.
"First of all, Kol, I had a plan last time and it would've worked if Saint Stefan and Elena hadn't dragged my family into it. I prevented a family member's death and I'll do it again in a heartbeat."
Kol opens his mouth, but I throw my hand up, silencing him.
"You don't make the rules and you know this. I do, whatever I say goes. And we're going through with this ritual. I didn't say when, and I haven't stated the terms. Do you really think I'm stupid enough to trust Elijah and Klaus?"
I know Elijah was known as the 'honorable' one and gave his word, but I wasn't stupid. His family especially Klaus came first and if he felt like I was a threat, he'd kill me. Well, he'd try, but I'd send a white oak stake through his chest before he got the chance.
"Why do you think I talked to Elijah first? He'll have a better chance at convincing Klaus than me. My main concern is getting your body back, Kol.
Kol had a look of astonishment on his face. He was silent for a few minutes before speaking quietly. "You're really doing this to get my body back?"
"Of course, Kol. Why did you think I was doing it?"
He shrugged, his expression turning uncomfortable. I reached over, grabbing his wrist, and pulled him into a hug. The way he clinked onto me made me curious. How long has it been since he's had a hug? As if he'd heard my question, he spoke in a quiet voice.
"It's been centuries since I've had a real hug."
Mental reminder, give Kol hugs more often.
"I know I've been gone awhile, but I didn't think you'd lose it and have imaginary friends."
A very familiar voice spoke from my doorway. Kol pulled away from me and I turned, letting out a scream.
"LUCY!" I ran into her open arms, pulling her into a bear hug. I didn't realize how much I missed my cousin until she was actually in my arms. God, it felt good. We rocked side to side in each other's embrace.
"I missed you and little Bon-Bon so much." Lucy says as we pull apart. "So, how's everything been? Any boyfriends? Pregnancy scares?"
I shake my head, smiling at her. "Everything's been fine, Lucy. No boyfriends, no pregnancy scares."
"Then what am I? A friend?" Kol questions from behind me.
"I'm still figuring that out. Now hush." I tell him as Lucy looks at me like I was insane.
"Our ancestor decided to give Bon and I our own personal Original 'protectors'." Both of Lucy's eyebrows rose as I explained what's taken place over the past few months.
"You mean to tell me you suffered magical exhaustion, died and went into a mini coma two weeks ago and you decided to run away with a vampire to save another vampire from captivity? And now you're making a deal with the original hybrid and his older brother in order to get back their brother's bodies? Am I correct?"
I nod, "Yeah that sums it up."
"You're risking your life for this guy? The dick must be good cause ain't no way I'm doing all that."
I pursed my lips, "I can't exactly fuck a ghost, Lucy."
She scoffed, "there are a lot of things you can do with a ghost, honey. You just gotta be open-minded."
I made a face, wondering what the fuck had my cousin been up too.
"I find myself curious now."
"Well, you can stay curious cause I'm not touching you until you have a physical body."
"You make me sick, Ororo."
"Rochelle." I looked up from my textbook to see Damon standing in front of me. I was sitting on the bleachers waiting for Care and Bonnie to finish up with cheer practice.
"Salvatore... What the hell are you doing here at a high school? You're like twenty-five."
Damon smirks, sitting beside me and throwing an arm around my shoulders. I looked at him in disdain, shrugging him off me.
"Don't be like that, Rochelle. I thought we were friends!"
I let out a scoff, "We spent one day together, and that was just to rescue Enzo. We are not friends, Salvatore."
"Your little buddy escaped last night by the way."
Are you fucking kidding me?! I gave this moron one task and he couldn't do that!
Damon holds up his hands as I glare at him. "He snapped my neck after kicking my ass six ways to Sunday. Stefan didn't last a minute against him. I tried!"
I shake my head, closing my textbook. "You're fucking useless, Salvatore! I give you one simple task and you screw it up! Let me guess you were busy chasing Elena and making Stefan's life a living hell instead of doing what I asked?"
Damon's eyes were furious as I stood over him, glaring with my hands on my hips. I didn't give a shit, this little fucker was pissing me off. I basically wasted my time the other day with him. Gave him the hard truth and he still let it go out the other ear! Never again fuck Damon Salvatore.
I turned away from him, going to walk down the bleachers when he grabbed my wrist. What the fuck is up with vampires and grabbing people?! I turned, glaring at Damon as he gripped my wrist. It wasn't tight enough to bruise or anything, it was just the fact that he was touching me without my permission!
"Let me go, Salvatore." I spoke in a deadly tone.
"No, listen here, witchy. You're not going to talk to me any kind of way. I know this is your first rodeo with vampires and I've been letting you get away with your little slick comments and whatnot, but that stops right now. I'm close to ripping your fucking head off." As Damon spoke, Kol appeared behind him, a furious expression on his face.
I silently sent my magic his way and watched as Damon let out a choked grunt. I knew Kol had stuck his hand through his chest and was currently holding his heart.
"If you ever put your fucking hands on me again, Salvatore, I'm going to end your pathetic existence. I'll talk to you anyway, I please. It's not my fault you're such a fuck up at everything. I gave you something so simple and look at what happened? Enzo is gone, I don't know where he is! I had plans for him and because of you they're gone to hell! I wasted my time with you because it's obvious you won't listen to a thing anyone tells you! You infuriate me and I won't have you fucking up anymore of my plan. Stay out of my way and I mean it."
He lets out a groan, blood pooling from his lips as Kol pulled his hand from his chest. Damon's hand fell from my wrist as he collapsed onto the bleacher.
"When I get my body back, I'm killing him for good." Kol speaks as he glowers down at the panting and bleeding Damon.
"And I'll watch with a smile on my face."
I grin as an idea comes to mind. I quickly pull out a small vial out of my shoulder bag. I know it was weird to walk around with small vials, but you never know when you'd come across something to collect! This plan had been in my mind for weeks.
I was planning on swiping Damon's or Stefan's blood to help Caroline transition. Kol was sadly unavailable, and these were the two idiots available. Win some, lose some.
I nick Damon's wrist as he struggles against Kol's grip. He knew he couldn't do anything in case his hand snatches his heart out. When the vial is full, I pull away from Damon.
"Thanks Salvatore, maybe you're good for something after all."
