Chapter 15
"So what do you like to do?" Bonnie asked after they had been working for a few minutes and her curiosity got the better of her. He was definitely easy on the eyes and she wondered if there were other things about Kol Mikaelson that she might like.
"I like to prank people and annoy Finn." Kol said. "Annoying Finn is fun."
"Why is annoying Finn fun?" Bonnie asked still trying to make conversation.
"Since he has a stick up his butt, it's always fun to see him all riled up." He grinned. Bonnie couldn't stop laughing as it sounded hilarious.
Kol was a little surprised she found that funny.
"I don't really know Finn. He walks by me like I'm invisible. I like your brother Elijah though. He always says hello and smiles at me and of course I'm friends with Rebekah," Bonnie commented.
"Out of all my brothers, I prefer Elijah or even Henrik...have you met that one yet?" He asked.
She shook her head at him.
"I haven't seen him yet." She admitted.
They continued filing the books away. Kol misfiled a book and Bonnie fixed it with a smirk. A few minutes later Bonnie misfiled a book and Kol fixed it with a smirk.
"Okay so what's the neatest thing about being a witch and the worst," Kol asked.
"The neatest thing is that I can use my powers to make people happy or surprise them. Sometimes they don't even know I did it. The worst thing about being a witch is it makes me different and some people are afraid of different."
He felt bad for her-a first for him, as he only ever felt like the monster he is. If it wasn't Finn telling him that he was, it was his parents. Henrik just scurries away from him and Klaus helps temper his more volatile side. Rebekah and Elijah try their hardest to help him keep what humanity he has.
"How about you - what's the best part of being a vampire and the worst? If you want to talk about it of course," Bonnie asked a moment later.
"I don't know what the best part of being this is besides the immortality but the worst part...the connection to magic isn't there anymore." He sounded depressed. "I've been trying to keep my humanity but only three of my siblings are helping me with it. Finn tells me that I'm nothing more than a monster, my parents say that I have no humanity and Henrik just scurries away from me, believing that I'm going to kill him when I'm not."
"I'm sorry," Bonnie said tenderly. "Would you mind if I tried a spell on you?"
"At this point, do what you want to me." Kol hummed.
Sheila watched this and smiled. Bonnie concentrated and reached out to lay her hand on Kol's chest. As the words flowed from her mouth he could feel magic within him again.
She stopped chanting and smiled at him.
"Try doing magic," she encouraged eagerly.
He thought about levitating a few books and much to his surprise, it worked.
Bonnie's whole face lit with delight and she clapped with excitement.
"Great job! Do something else!" She enthused.
"What do you want me to do next?" He asked.
"I don't know but that spell will let you share my magic when you are close to me. Maybe you won't feel so lonely without your magic then..." Bonnie offered.
He smiled at her random act of kindness towards him.
"What do you need us to do next Grams?" Bonnie asked.
"Are all the books stacked? What about the magazines?" She asked.
"Check and check." Bonnie said brightly.
"Then you're done for the day and can hangout with Elena." Sheila said to Bonnie before turning to Kol. "Your brother Elijah is with Elena, Rebekah and Caroline."
"You're welcome to come with me," Bonnie offered. "The more the merrier."
He smiled at her.
"I would like to and maybe she'll even let me in." He joked. "Seriously, I'd like to know more about her."
"Let's go then," Bonnie smiled.
Sheila looked to Kol, "you two take care of each other." They both nodded and soon they were at Elena's.
The second he was at the door, he knocked on it only to see Elijah was the one who answered it and he seemed happier.
"Kol, Bonnie," Elijah smiled.
"We came to join you if we may," Bonnie smiled. Elijah smiled at the fact that Bonnie waited with Kol instead of just entering the house and leaving him on the porch.
"Elena we have a couple more guests," Elijah called into the house.
As Elena appeared, she smiled brightly at them.
"Kol, please come in."
Bonnie smiled at Kol and he gestured for her to precede him into the house.
"My Grams said we would find you all here," Bonnie said. "Is something going on?"
