Kol took his eyes off the road to glimpse thoughtfully at the latest Petrova doppelganger. Her chocolate hair fell in-front of her face, reaching out he used a finger to push the hair out of the way. A purple bruise was starting to form over the corner of her forehead alongside the cut from when he'd pushed her into the bed earlier. Without realizing what he was doing he leaned the palm of his hand into her cheek. Elena stirred slightly and leant into his cool touch, a slight whimper escaping from her lips. She opened her eye slowly, her dark orbs widening in surprise when she realized who was touching her face and remembered the events from before.

'Finally darling, you've been out cold for quite some time.'

Kol remarked, his signature smirk gracing his angelic features.

'What do you want?'

Snarled Elena, trying to look braver than she felt.

Kol's smirk dropped, and he harshly turned the wheel and aggressively pulled the car up to a stop at the side of the road. He gripped Elena's face and turned her to face him.

'All will be revealed in good time and when I deem fit to tell you. Don't test me Elena, I'm not one of your Salvatore boys and you'll find my demeanor is not that of Elijah's.'

Kol said very calmly. His eyes were menacing and Elena felt disturbed. She held herself together, determined not to cry. Kol loosened his grip slightly and used his other hand to touch her bruise and his eyes skimmed over to her cut. He furrowed his brow and Elena gasped as she noticed his vampire features take over his face. Just as Elena was starting to panic and wondered if he was going to kill her for sport, Kol bit into his own wrist and forced it into Elena's mouth.

She choked and Kol pressed his wrist in harder so she accepted defeat and allowed his blood to flow into her mouth. Elena expected a horrible metallic taste to enter her mouth but instead was met with heaven. Before she could register what she was doing she grabbed onto Kol's wrist and held it closer to her mouth, moaning into the wound. Kol held back a gasp at the contact; he hadn't imagined that Elena would be quite so reckless. His initial shock wore off and was replaced with his usual smirk. Deciding to mess with her a little bit, he pulled Elena onto his lap and held her lithe body close to his.

Elena ground her hips into Kol and it was only when he growled that Elena snapped out of their heated moment. Her face flushed red and she attempted to scramble off of Kol's lap but he only chucked lowly and held onto her with an iron grip.

'Your foreheads healed up quite nicely pet, but I think you've had enough'

Kol swiped his thumb across Elena's forehead and she trembled fearfully. He pushed her lightly away from him and she quickly got back into her own chair, and positioned her body as far away from his as possible. He stared at her before restarting the car and pulling out into the road again.

Elena tried to calm her frantic heart, what had just happened? She felt her eyes well up at the thought of what Damon and Stefan would think of her. Her mind was a mess, she had no idea what she was thinking or what was going on in her head. She slowed her breathing down and closed her eyes, and willed herself to try and get some sleep.

Kol stole a glance at Elena and listened to her breathing even out. This new doppelganger was going to be fun to play with. He drove off into the night, refusing to stop until he'd put plenty of miles between them and stupid Damon Salvatore.
