Chapter Fifty:

Kol twitched, his body finally coming back to life. There was grunts of pain, bones breaking and most of all the smell of blood. It was overpowering and alluring.

"Kol." He knew that sweet voice. it always kept him company in the darkness. "I need you." She spoke again. He could hear the desperation and the pain in her voice. Jordan. It was his Jordan's voice. Kol's eyes flew open, adjusting quickly to the harsh artificial light. His fangs popped out of his gums when the sweet scent of blood filled his nose. He could heart a very sweet heart beating and had him licking his lips. He watched through blood lust as she turned to him. the look of relief filled her face. His eyes went from her face, tracking the blood that oozed out of her. she took a step backwards. Her word lost on him as the sound of her blood rushing around her body filled his ears.

He grabbed her small frame into his arm, fangs plunging into her neck. the sweet taste of her blood filling his mouth and washing down his dry throat. Her screams gargled, stopping as did her heart. Kol pulled away before his eyes fell onto the body he cradled. He fell his knees give out, taking the body with him. he clutched her blood streaked face, tears blurring his vision.

"Jordan?" his voice broke. Her lifeless body was limp in his arms. He cradled her gently against him, hugging her close.

"No. no no no no no. please. NO!" He pleaded. Her held her closer, tears running down his cheeks. His heart breaking in more then a thousand pieces. He had no idea how long he had been on the ground, cradling her to him.

"Kol?" a voice, gentle. His eyes looked up through the tears.

"Help me…..please." he begged.

Elijah dropped down, a hand gently landing on Kol shoulder. The grief on his brother's face was enough to have his knees buckling. Kol clutched Jordan in his arms as if she were the most precious thing in the world. Elijah saw the blood smudge on Kol's lips and chin, the wound in Jordan's neck. Elijah closed his eyes, allowing the moment to share in his brother grief. He had seen Kol falling in love with the girl, bettering himself and truly changing. Elijah felt a few tears roll down his cheeks. A second later he regained his composure, placing a hand on Kol's shoulder.

"We need to give her to her family."

"Please…Elijah." Kol's voice broke with such pain.

Gilbert's House

Elena walked in, Jeremy beside her. she frowned when she didn't hear Jordan moving around the house. She ran upstairs before, glancing around Jordan's room before frowning and heading downstairs.

"Jordan's not here."

"She said she was coming home." Jeremy sounded confused. Elena nodded, trying to call her sister's phone, only for it to be switched off. She watched Jeremy trying and he got the same thing. Elena felt something crawl over her, she shuddered, trying to fight this feeling off. She looked over to see Jeremy had tears running down his cheeks.

"Jer?" she whispered.

He clutched his heart, rubbing his heard in a trance like state. Elena caught him as his knees gave out. Elena held Jeremy, feeling this sorrow wash over her, she refused to believe or entertain the thought that something terrible had happened to Jordan. There was a knock at the door, Elena turned her head, she gave Jeremy and kiss to the head before getting to her feet and walking over. Opening the door, she saw Elijah standing there. He had blood on his white buttoned up shirt. Elena watched as Elijah opened his mouth and closed it, the look of aguish on his face. She felt tears welling in her eyes, shaking her head.

"Please…." Her voice cracked.

"I'm sorry Elena, I was too late." Elijah whispered.

Elena felt the tears run down her cheeks, she turned to see Jeremy standing there, tears streaming down his face. She walked over, wrapping her arms around his stiff body.

Elena had gotten no sleep last night, she had sat on her bed, flicking through the Christmas present Jordan had made her. a photo album. Elena had wiped her tears away, feeling hollow. She sent a text out to inform the others, asking for them to leave her and Jeremy alone for a little while. She heard Jeremy. Getting to her feet, Elena walked down the hallway, starring at Jordan's door before she pushed it open. Jeremy sat on her bed.

"Jer?" Elena walked slowly to him. he looked up, tears in his eyes.

"Make it stop. It hurts." He begged her.

Elena felt a massive stabbing pain in her chest.

"Why does everyone die on me?" he asked.

Elena closed the distance, sitting down and taking one of his hands in her own.

"I'm not leaving you." She promised him. Jeremy needed her. he had just lost the other part of himself. Elena held Jeremy close, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Mikaelson Mansion

Kol sat in his room, on the couch where Jordan had sat when they had spoken. His mind filling up with her smiles and laughs. Kol's eyes shifted to the door as it opened, the doppelganger walking in. she thanked Elijah, she had a book and a stack of letter in her hand.

"I think she would want you to have these."

Kol stood up, taking the book and letters that were addressed to him in his hands. He looked down, feeling this horrible pain wash through him.

Elena shifted on her feet uncomfortably. Elijah had spoken to her, telling her how Jordan had died. She felt angry and hurt, Kol had taken away one of the people most precious to her. she refused to let Elijah sway her. Kol deserved eternity of misery.

"I know Jordan loved you….." she started. She saw Kol flinch at her words. The anger inside suddenly felt like it was leaving her, a warmth instead filling her. she sighed. "I know she also left you voice mails."

Kol didn't look up, the hatred he had for himself, he had begged and pleaded with Elijah to help end his torment. He had even begged Nik. Neither of them obliging his request. Kol walked over to his table, his phone sat in the draw. He fished it out, turning the device one. he had a picture of Jordan when they had gone out shopping on their date. She had forced him to try on a silly hat with her and then pose for a picture. His finger stroked over her laughing face as she had turned to look at him.

Messages and voice message alerts were coming through, he walked over to his bed. sitting down and allowing the phone to finishing receiving everything. He opened the letters, reading through them. She had written him an account of everything he had missed. He found a smile tilt his lips when she had complained at how much she hated the exams. She had passed them; he knew she would. She was smart, smarter than him. she studied and worked hard, and he admired her for it. she gave him a picture of her when she had done the pageant. Nik had said she looked stunning and he was right. Kol stroked a finger over her smiling face, tears filling his eyes again as the guilt tore through him. He had murdered her, taken her life away from her.

He poured over every letter, cherishing every word she had written to him, he listened to the voicemails she had left. He felt his breath hitch when she had told him how much she missed him and wanted to tell him something to his face. After he listened to every voice mail twice, he saved them all. Wanting to hear her voice any time he needed too. picking up the book of the Brothers Grimm, he turned it carefully over in his hands. Opening the cover with care, he saw a few sheets of paper folded inside. Opening them, he read through the thought she wrote down.

I think I'm falling in love with Kol.

Reading those words, everything seemed to stop inside him. he traced over the words, holding the letter closer to him.

"I love you Jordan Gilbert and I WILL bring you back." He vowed.
