Chapter 7
Elena's POV
I am awakened with a sudden thirst; I quietly exit the pitch-black room to enter the living room lit with the glowing city lights. As my bare feet hit the cold marble, goose bumps run up my legs. I see Kohl sitting on the sofa with his elbows against his knees holding a glass of wine. A beam of light shines across his rough hair.
"I just heard a wolf call, it is a full moon tonight." He says, as if he knew I was there as soon as I got up.
"Do you think they know we are here?" I calmly ask while sitting down next to him.
"I reckon we have a day left, are you okay leaving tomorrow? I'm sorry about this chaos."
"Kohl," I say while gripping onto his back, "Don't be sorry, thank you." I hug him as a sign of gratitude, I feel his muscles tightening as I wrap my arms tighter around his body while he is in his same position as I found him.
Kol's POV
I notice Elena's wearing her nightdress exposing her long legs once again, it never fails to make me weak. Elena hugs me, her embrace is so comforting that I just forget about everything for a short while, I want to hug her back but she shouldn't be this thankful. We end up chatting about Europe and my past, which Elena finds so interesting until she dozes off on the sofa with one foot on my knee. I stay in the same position and fall asleep.
Elena's POV
I wake early at sunrise; the sun shines brightly through the long wall of windows blinding us. I look at Kohl to find him sleeping sitting down, he must have been so uncomfortable. His hand rests over my ankle on his knee. I try to reposition him so his back is against the pillows on his side. I end up kneeling with one knee between his legs. I slowly push him down to his side using his shoulders. Unexpectedly he wakes up and we are both startled, he tries to support his body, which I'm pushing down awkwardly so my arm weakens and I fall onto him. "Elena?" Kol asks while I try to get back up, tongue tied. "Haha sorry, I just saw how uncomfortable you looked so I was trying to make you sleep on your back, but you woke up." I tell him while kneeling with a knee between his legs. "Oh that was.. kind of you" he says as he helps me up, we both stand. He yawns while stretching while I stand in front of him staring at his flexing muscles.
Kohl's POV
I wake up to a great surprise. I've noticed Elena gets nervous, she was admiring my muscles once again, and I must say her position while helping me sleep was very intimate. I like this. "So we should get going as soon as possible"
"Yup" she says with an apple in her mouth, tying her hair. Her dress rises as she raises her arms, I don't want to stare so I turn back to our room to pack up. We both brush our teeth next to each other with the couple's bathroom at the two sinks and talk about our next location. I throw on a tshirt and Elena wears a white v neck with black jeans. We both put on our sunglasses and walk out looking fly.
Elena's POV
While waiting in the valet lounge, Kol is looking around. I feel like he is my body guard, well he is, it is quite comforting. He cares a lot about my safety, not only because of Klaus. Who cares about getting free hybrids? I just smile thinking about this while looking at him surveying the area. He catches me staring but our car arrives and he is handed the keys to the dark maroon Porsche. We both jump in and zoom off immediately not turning back. I like the way he puts his hand behind the head of my seat when turning his body to look behind. We decide to try and drive to Austria to get rid of the wolves. At our first stop we get breakfast. It is quite empty. We go to the supermarket to get some supplies for the long drive, we are going to drive for as long as we can. We buy a lot of water, fruits, bags of chips, Swiss chocolate and a few sandwiches. I will make Kohl drink from me, some towns are fed vervain water, which wouldn't allow him to compel. The girl at the cashier flirts uncontrollably with him and as I walk up to him her smile turns back into a dismal expression. I also noticed Kohl didn't flirt back, he simply smiled as if he was reserved but she was beautiful.
"What were you doing? She was all over you, she was basically bowing down to you." I tell him, Kohl just chuckles lightly as if he didn't want her. "She wasn't my type." He says slyly. I give the 'fair enough' expression and we load the car. I don't know why but I respect him for not flirting. Before Kohl gets onto the road I stop him, "Kohl, you need blood, here. I would feel better if you did." I tell him as I offer my wrist. He hesitates then thanks me. We both understand that these towns are untrustworthy with their vervain in water as Damon and Stephan have had bad experiences with some blood. Every time he drinks from me it feels better and better, euphoric like a drug.
Kohl's POV
How can one flirt with a girl while being attracted to another? Elena's blood tastes as good as ever, maybe even better. I feel energized and speed through the highways like a bat out of hell. Elena falls asleep for a few hours. While driving I look to my side to see the side windows and Elena catches my attention, her beauty does not fade even in her sleep.
After driving for hours, Elena wakes up at around 1 and we decide to have lunch.
Elena's POV
I had a great nap. When I open my eyes I find Kohl listening to opera, he is such a dinosaur, I love it. I love opera and classical music. "Turandot, Act 3: "Nessun Dorma" I softly say while looking at his face as if I discovered a secret of his. A smile spreads across his face without moving his head. "We should go to a concert in Rome." He says after five seconds of smiling with contentment. "Oh I'd love to."
"I didn't take you for an opera girl"
"Neither" I reply with a cheeky smile, I look through the grocery bags and grab two sandwiches. Kol seems really busy with driving so I put the sandwich to his mouth and he goes for a bite using one hand to hold it but I don't let go, he quickly puts his hand back on the wheel to drive around a car and that's how I ended up feeding him. He laughs and thanks me. His jaw bones are defined with eat bite he takes. I take a bite of my sandwich while giving Kol a bite of his. We seriously look like a couple. But this is called efficiency, taking a lunch break would put us an hour behind schedule. "We need to change cars soon, they will recognize us in this." Kohl says
"Oh yeah good idea, maybe a different make"
"Yes, maybe ferrarri?" He says so innocently I don't laugh, I was thinking a car that would blend in but I guess speed is key.
"So Kohl, how old are you?" I ask
"19" He tells me, I give him the look.
" 1097" I give him another look. I respond with a look of awe.
"Fascinating." I respond while poking his cheek, we laugh, "So how do you look so good? This isn't physically possible." I see his face flush slightly at my compliment.
"Yeah I'm lucky I didn't turn when I was middle aged, or Id be stuck with an old face forever, this one however.." He smirks at me cheekily and I can't help but laugh at his cockiness. He opens his mouth requesting a bite of the sandwich and I feed him like a child, I'm still in awe.
Kol's POV
I feel like being a 1000-year-old vampire doesn't only fascinate Elena, she's admired by it. I take the sandwich and my hand clasps over Elena's accidentally as I thank her. She chuckles and pulls away awkwardly. We stop at a gas station so Elena can go to the bathroom after consuming over 2000ml of water. I wait outside to get some fresh air after parking the car, I then see two men inspecting my car with the same haircut and tattoos, werewolves. Calmly I walk straight into the female's toilet and catch Elena about to walk out of the door, I push her back in and tell her. She takes a few steps back from the door holding my shoulders to guide me and bends her back to look outside the small window on the door. "Shit" she whispers while forcing me into a stall as I stumble walking backwards a bit shocked. I ask her what's wrong and I hear the door open, 2 or 3 women walk in. "I saw two guys waiting by the car and two more walking towards the toilets" She whispers with a hand still on my shoulder. Even in a time of struggle like this I cant resist admiring Elena as she stands so close to me. I look up and see a vent large enough for us to fit. She too looks up and sighs.
Elena's POV
Kol pulls his sleeves up exposing his triceps, I swoon, internally. He jumps up and clings onto the opening with one hand while hitting it open with the other. He releases and falls back down with his face an inch away from mine for a second. He then quickly kneels and places his hands on his knee interlocked, prepared to fling me up. We have to act fast so I just follow this plan. I place my foot in his hands and I am lifted up. I cling onto the opening feeling the sunlight on my hands, I try to pull myself up. Kol holds my legs at my knees and lifts me further. I duck down and lay flat so no one sees. Kol easily jumps up and lies with me, we both peek our heads up to see where they are. We decide to jump off the back, Kol literally rolls himself off landing perfectly on two feet and waits to catch me, I too roll off to avoid being seen but Kol catches me into his arms then vamp speeds to the other side of the carpark. "We cant go back to the car" He instantly says while breaking into someone's car, Im still out of place after speeding across. I turn around to see Kol in the car hot wiring it, I jump into shotgun and look around in the back for supplies. I find a hat which I put on Kol's head, hiding his beautiful, beautiful hair. I find sunglasses in the front and wear them. The car starts and we immediately drive off onto the highway. "Well that was close." He says.
