Chapter 14 – Sabrina
Sabrina jolted awake, she could feel something pulling her to Kol. Quickly she got dressed and ran out into the hall way. She ran to Kol's room only to find it empty.
"Kol?" She called out. "Kol, where are you?"
Finn and Sage walked out of their room and heard her calling for Kol.
"What's wrong, Sabrina?" Sage asked.
"Kol, I need to find Kol," was all Sabrina said, running down the hall, leaving them staring at her wondering just what was going on.
Niklaus had just exited his room, giving up on sleep after Elena had woken him up. He shut his door and turned to walk down the hall when Sabrina bumped into him.
"No running in the house, little witch," he admonished her.
Sabrina ignored him, "Where's Kol? Have you seen Kol?" She asked worriedly.
"Not this morning," came his reply. "Why?"
"I have to find him!" Tears formed in Sabrina's eyes as the feeling to find Kol got stronger. She turned to continue looking when she ran into Elijah. Elijah caught hold of her and forced her to look at him.
"What's going on, Sabrina?" He asked concerned.
"Kol, I have to find Kol!" She cried frantically.
"Why?" Elijah asked, his vampiric hearing picked up Sabrina's frantic heartbeat. He was worried at her reaction.
"I don't know, I just know I have to find him!" She cried out. "I have to find him now!"
Elijah, ever the calm one, said, "Why don't you do a locator spell. If he was in the house he would be here by now."
Sabrina stared at him. "Locator spell?" She asked dazedly. She stopped to consider it, her heart rate calming slightly. "Maybe, it just might work. I need something that belongs to Kol."
Niklaus went to Kol's room and grabbed his hand held mirror. Elijah raised an eyebrow in silent question when he saw it.
Niklaus smirked and shrugged, "He stares in it enough it might as well be an extension of himself. Now little witch what else do you need?"
"I need a map." Sabrina said urgently, tears running her cheeks. "I need to hurry."
"In my study," Elijah said.
Sabrina took off running down the hall. "No running in the house," Niklaus called out again only to be interrupted by someone else running in the house.
Rebekah came running up, "Elena isn't in her room!" She cried out panicked. "I can't find her anywhere."
"Calm down little sister, I'm sure she is safe. She is probably with Kol." Elijah soothed her.
Niklaus turned and strode quickly down the hall. "Where are you going?" Elijah called after him.
"To get something of Elena's" he called back. "I want to make sure she is with Kol."He walked into Elena's room, grabbed her brush and walked quickly to Elijah's Study. Elijah and Rebekah followed Niklaus to Elijah's study. "Do a location spell for Elena too," he told Sabrina.
Sabrina nodded, her panic had calmed down. "A locator spell won't work, it won't give you an exact location. However if you can see where they are..." she didn't continue, she didn't really have to, they understood.
Suddenly Sabrina screamed out in pain clutching her chest. At the same time Elijah and Niklaus heard Kol cry out in pain and call for help through their mental link.
"Kol!" Sabrina cried out, clutching her chest.
Elijah and Niklaus stared at Sabrina, "The witch and Kol are linked?" Niklaus said shocked.
Elijah stared in surprise, "Not linked - bonded."
"What's the difference?" Rebekah asked.
Before anyone could explain Finn walked in with Sage. "What is going on?" He demanded.
Sabrina gasped, the pain receding a bit. "Kol is hurt. He and Elena must have been attacked."
"Do the spell," Elijah urged, he handed her his hand. He had done this spell before.
Sabrina cut Elijah's hand and watched as his blood dropped on Kol's mirror. Niklaus wordlessly extended his hand for her to cut so she could do the spell for Elena too. Sabrina winced in pain, but fought through it so she could do the spell.
"Close your eyes, relax your minds and look for them. Elijah look for Kol, Klaus look for Elena." Elijah and Niklaus did as was asked, suddenly their eyes flew open.
"Kol is at the falls!" Elijah exclaimed. "He's hurt."
"Elena is near the tunnels." Niklaus spoke up. "She is running. She must have been with Kol when he was attacked."
"Sage and I will go after Elena. Elijah, you and Niklaus go get Kol. Rebekah stay here with Sabrina." Finn barked out orders.
The others blinked at their usual mild manner brother giving the orders, usually Elijah did that, or Niklaus. Finn rarely showed his warrior side, preferring to allow Elijah or Niklaus to do so. They were better suited to be leaders, to be the ones everybody depended on.
At that moment each one of the Mikaelson's heard Elena's cry for help through their link. Then they each felt her pain, like a blinding headache, the pain was so sudden and strong they stumbled under the weight of it. They grasped at the furniture to remain standing and then just as suddenly the pain receded.
"What was that?" Rebekah asked in shock.
"That was your link to Elena." Sabrina replied "The blood sharing must have made it stronger. You can feel her pain. You must leave now, please!" She started pacing, "If the pain is gone Elena must be unconscious, you must find her."
Finn and Sage vamp sped out of the house in search of Elena. Finn led the way to the way towards the tunnels.
"The tunnels are where we would take refuge every full moon." Finn told Sage. "I'm going to take you to the entrance and I want you to go through carefully and see if you find her. Let me know through our link if you do."
Sage nodded, she pulled out her phone using it for a flashlight and started exploring the tunnels. Finn searched above ground, not knowing exactly where Niklaus had seen Elena, but hoping he would find her soon.
Back at the mansion Elijah and Niklaus had left at vamp speed to find Kol and Rebekah had been left to calm and distract Sabrina. "What does it mean, that you are bonded to my brother?" She sat down in a chair by Elijah's desk and asked the question that had been bothering her.
Sabrina sighed and managed a small smile. "It means I feel when he is in danger, it's my duty to protect him."
"You are linked to him?" Rebekah asked. She saw that her plan working, she wanted to distract Sabrina from what was happening and find out as much as she could. Sabrina sat down in Elijah's chair.
"It's a little more complicated than just being linked, when you are simply linked what happens to one happens to all.
"Through the blood adoption link, you can feel Elena's pain but not each other's, unless it's because of the dagger or a white oak stake. That is because Elena is human, it's a sort of protection for her.
"My bond with Kol is different, I feel his pain but he doesn't feel mine. I'm at his disposal, his to use as he wishes. I belong to him until he dies, it's my duty to protect and serve him. There's more to it, but I can't share, it's up to Kol to share more." Sabrina told her. She stood up and walked over to the window staring outside.
"That sounds a bit antiquated." Rebekah said disdainfully.
Sabrina laughed. "Yes, I guess it does, and I suppose there is a reason for it, my however many great grandmother made a deal with Kol that one of her ancestors would be bonded to him back in the 14th century. I'm not sure of all the details of the deal between them, all I know is I had to enter willingly, it wasn't forced on me."
"Why would you do that?" Rebekah asked surprised. "Why would you give up your freedom to be bonded to my brother?"
Sabrina shrugged, "Why not? Your brother is pretty special and he treats witches with respect, you don't get that too often, especially from a vampire."
"If you say so." Rebekah snorted. "Kol's reputation would say otherwise. He uses and disposed of witches quite easily."
"You know you underestimate him, he just acts the way he does because you expect it from him. He figures you already think he's nuisance, so he acts like it." Sabrina said.
"Telling secrets on me?" Kol's voice said from the doorway.
"Kol!" Rebekah and Sabrina gasped at the same time, both of them tensed as they spun around to face Kol. He was leaning on the door frame, observing them carefully.
Sabrina looked at the floor in embarrassment, Rebekah blushed lightly and walked over to him.
"Glad you are okay, brother dear." She kissed his cheek. "Don't be angry with her, I asked questions to distract her, she was very worried about you." She sent to him telepathically through their connection.
Kol smirked down at her, "Don't worry, I'm not angry with either of you." He sent back mentally, he could see Rebekah visibly relax as she slipped out of the room, leaving him alone with his witch.
Kol shut the door and approached the young witch, he reached a hand out and gently lifted her chin so he could see her face. "Sabrina," he said quietly, "Thank you, my brothers told me what you did, you are pretty special yourself."
Sabrina blushed and looked down again when she realized just how long he had been standing there. "I didn't mean to say anything out of turn," She whispered.
Kol leaned over and kissed her on the lips gently. Sabrina blush deepened at the gesture. "You didn't love, I'm not upset with you." Sabrina relaxed slightly, she didn't want Kol to be angry.
"Have they found Elena yet?" She asked worridly.
"Not yet, Elijah and Klaus found me, and Elijah brought me home and Klaus went to look for her. I was trying to find the attacker but whoever it was disappeared. I was hoping to give Elena time to get home. I hope she is okay." Kol wrapped his arms around her, resting his chin on her head.
"I can do the spell again," Sabrina offered softly, relaxing into his embrace.
Elijah opened the door as she offered, he was surprised to see the Kol embracing the witch, though he supposed he really shouldn't be, Kol always did take to witches. "If you would that would be much appreciated. Niklaus has headed towards where he thinks he saw her. It would help if I could see where she was too." He told her.
Sabrina nodded and pulled away from Kol, albeit reluctantly, she rather liked being in his arms. She walked over to the desk and did the spell for Elijah. She quickly realized that she was wearier than she had thought she was as she felt the energy drain from her and her nose started bleeding. Her spell ended abruptly as she collapsed in exhaustion, but it had been enough time for Elijah to see some landmarks that would lead to Elena.
Kol caught Sabrina as she collapsed and supported her gently with one hand, with the other hand he wiped her nose with a handkerchief. "That's enough magic for today. You need food and rest, and I need some blood as well. Elijah I trust you can find Elena? I'm taking Sabrina to the kitchen, "
Elijah nodded watching in surprise as his youngest brother gently lifted Sabrina and carried her towards the kitchen. Kol genuinely seemed to care for her, and was acting more mature than he had ever seen him before.
Rebekah appeared beside him, "The witch is right, we've underestimated him." She said quietly. Elijah could only nod. "Now, on to the matter at hand, go find out little sister, please! I'll keep an eye on things here."
Elijah smiled gently at Rebekah and gave her a kiss on the cheek before he vamp sped out of the house to find his youngest sister. He hoped it would not be too long before everyone was safe and sound inside the mansion.
