~15~
I woke up and noticed warm brown eyes looking down at me with a smile.
"Darling?"
"Who are you?" I cocked my head to the side. His face fell completely, he looked at another man with blue eyes who looked just as confused. The warm brown eyes looked back down at me. there was deep sadness in the depths and my lips tugged up. I reached up and brushed his hair from his head.
"Your hairs longer." I smiled. He blinked before his eyes rolled and I giggled.
"That's not funny." He scowled.
"A little funny." I held my fingers up close together and just smiled. Kol lifted me to my feet. I swayed a little before I felt his strong hands on my waist.
"Head spins." I muttered.
"Stacey?" Kaleb asked me. I grinned.
"I was but I'm Jordan…..and OH MY….JEREMY!" I screamed.
Everything came flooding in, but I pushed most of it down and tried to focus on one thing at a time. Jeremy, he needed me. I turned to Kol, grabbing him.
"Jeremy?"
"Is alive." He answered.
I nodded and breathed out. Jeremy was alive, I could feel him kind of. I could also feel something else. I rubbed my chest and turned to Kol.
"Did it work?"
"Yes." He answered. I turned back to Kaleb and smiled.
"Thankyou." I smiled. "I need to get to Jeremy." I started to pace, walking inside, closer to Kaleb then back outside to Kol. I muttered a few things under my breath.
"Darling, breathe." Kol spoke and I looked at him and nodded. I took a few deep breaths in and felt a little better. I looked at Kaleb.
"I feel…different."
"That's to be expected." He nodded.
"Oh." I nodded and then rubbed my arms, trying to get my thoughts in order. It was hard, I had so many memories overwhelming me.
"Bringing someone back from the dead and erasing their memories, classy." Kol muttered from the door.
"Ripping into a human's neck, classy." Kaleb retorted.
"ENOUGH!" I shouted, feeling all these different emotions playing out. This was the last thing I needed right now. I touched my neck and turned to Kol. Guilt written over his face.
"You didn't mean to." I assured him.
"But I did."
"I'm here." I softly smiled at him.
"Jordan…." I cut him off.
"Say that again."
"Jordan?" he questioned, and I smiled. I was finally feeling myself. I ran over and threw my arms around his neck. Kol caught me, holding onto me. I pulled away suddenly.
"Elena?" I felt terror. Jeremy and Elena, how could I ever forget them?
"Still alive, well Bekah says so." Kol answered. I nodded and started to pace again. The front door opened, I turned to see Valerie and Lilly walk in. Lilly looked between, Kaleb, Kol and me. Valerie watched Kol intently. I felt this protectiveness run through me, putting my body between her and Kol. I had just gotten Kol back. I wasn't going to be losing him again.
"Stace?" Lilly had used her body to shield Valerie, just in case Kol would attack her.
"Jordan." I corrected quickly. We both stood protectively over the people we cared about. She nodded; eyes weary of Kol as she stepped forward.
"A werewolf." He questioned.
"Yes. You're not allowed to hurt her." I looked over my shoulder at him. He held his hands up.
"I won't."
I turned to Lilly who grinned.
"Have you got your memories?"
"Yeah. Feels funny."
She walked over and wrapped her arms around me. she squeezed me tight and I laughed, feeling finally whole again. When she pulled away, I looked her over.
"Are you ok?" I asked.
"206 bones breaking over and over, I'm fine." she waved off. My mouth fell open.
"Bones breaking?"
"Yeah, we will talk about it later. For now, what are we doing?" she looked over at Kol and waved. "Lilly."
"Kol." He bowed his head. She leaned down.
"I like him."
I turned to see Kol's mouth lift up and scowled.
"Don't give him a big head."
Kaleb cleared his throat.
"We need a plan; Celeste wants to kill the originals."
"Ah Celeste, Elijah's old flame."
We all turned to Kol with a look, he shrugged.
"Scorned lover."
I nodded. I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Do you have one I should be worried about?"
"No. I have only ever loved once."
"Oh." I felt my heart crumble. He had loved someone. This part of me wished it was me that he had loved.
"Well, how do we deal with her?" Kaleb asked with a tone in his voice. I pulled my eyes from Kol and looked at Kaleb.
"Could I siphon her?" I suggested.
"NO!" both Kol and Kaleb answered at the same time. I held my hands up.
"Ok, just asking." I replied.
"I may have a few things back at mine…" Kol trailed off. I pulled a face and he smiled at me. "I will be back."
"I'm going with you." I had only just got him; I didn't want to lose him again.
He held out his hand and I walked over, taking it in mine. I looked down to see the orange glow. I held our joined hands up and smiled at him.
"It's orange still."
"I see." He kissed my knuckles.
Kol had ran with me in his arms into his room. I sat on the bed, playing with a book. His eyes darted to his bookshelf and I saw panic on his face.
"What is it?" I asked, jumping to my feet.
"A book is missing."
I looked at where he stood and then it clicked, and I looked down.
"Um, I stole it." I shifted on my feet. when I looked up, he rose a brow at me.
"Brothers Grimm?"
He nodded.
"I stole it…..well stole it back. Why do you have it? My grandfather gave that to me." I folded my arms.
"Doppelganger." He answered.
"Elena gave it to you?"
Rude, that was my prized possession and should have gone to Jeremy.
"Along with…these." He handed me letters that I had written. I smiled, sitting on the bed and reading them again. I looked up, Kol sensed my eyes he threw me a smile over his shoulder.
"You kept these?" I let the paper fall to the bed. he scowled, telling me to be careful with them. I laughed. "I'm right here though." I defended myself.
Kol was at the door, cracking it open a little bit.
"We need you."
"A little busy Freya." Kol shut the door on Freya's face. My mouth fell open, who was Freya?
"Kol, please." He sighed, opening the door again.
"For an older sister I never asked for. You tend to demand a lot from me."
"Your family needs you."
"As does someone else." He shut the door again he waited for Freya to leave.
"Older sister?" I asked.
"Yes. New addition and worse than Finn."
"She a…" I trailed off.
"Witch." Kol answered.
He walked over to me, pressing a kiss to my forehead. I grabbed his wrist and looked him in the eyes.
"Your family needs you."
"You need me more."
"Kol."
"No Jordan, they kept me daggered, knowing you were alive." I saw anger flash over his face. The veins appearing. I cupped his cheek and smiled.
"They weren't sure. I wasn't even sure."
"Klaus daggered me."
I knew what he was referring to and I leaned up, brushing my lips to his and smiled.
"You're not Klaus. You're better than him. we will be fine, and I promise, I won't do anything without you."
Kol sighed, he offered me his hand, helping me to my feet. Kol had ripped a few pages from some books and handed them to me to put in my pocket. I did so. We left his room and headed a different way to the way we came. He opened the door.
"This better be important." He announced his presence walking in. my eyes widened when all eyes fell on me.
"Stacey?" Rebekah sounded confused.
"Kol?" Elijah looked between the two of us.
Klaus smirked at me.
"Ah, little Gilbert." He mused. I crunched my face.
"I still don't like you." The words were out my mouth before I could shift through the thoughts.
"Jordan?" Rebekah stepped closer to me, keeping her moves slow.
"Hey Rebekah. Hey Elijah." I waved at them both. Rebekah walked over, throwing her arms around me. I hugged her back, smiling. when she let go, Elijah walked over slowly.
"Miss Jordan?"
"You can call me Jordan or Jordy or Jords." I threw my arms around Elijah. He was a little stiffen for a second, he relaxed and hugged me back. When I pulled away, I felt Kol pulling me to him. I looked to see Klaus walking over. I felt my heart beating faster and not in a good way. Kol was pulling me behind him, shielding me from Klaus.
"Nik." Kol seethed out.
"This is family business. I take it little Gilbert can show herself out."
"She stays." Kol clenched his jaw. I touched his arm, he glanced down at me.
"It's ok. I will see you later."
"No! she stays!" Rebekah stood beside Kol, folding her arms.
"Fine." Klaus stormed back to his seat. Kol turned to me, taking my hand in his and pulled me to the couch to sit down. I sat down, he sat against the armchair. I could see he was alert and watching Klaus, just in case Klaus decided to rip my throat out for the hundredth time.
"Can we please get back to Celeste?" a female voice sounded aggravated. I peered around to her, she had dark blonde hair that just reached her shoulders. Her greens eyes were narrowed until they landed on me. she smiled and waved. "Hi, I'm Freya."
"Jordan." I waved back with a smile. I felt a kinship with her and I could tell she felt one with me with the smile she gave me. must be a witch thing.
"Celeste, is really back?" Elijah asked. he sounded confused and had a slither of joy too.
"Seems like it. she did try to kill me." Klaus mused.
"Shame she failed." I muttered.
Kol snorted, Rebekah laughed, and Elijah blinked at me. Klaus narrowed his eyes before a smile crept onto his face.
