Chapter Fourteen: Once bitten, twice shy.
Jeremy woke up. He realized that his leg was chained up to the Lockwood's well. He turned around and saw Kol standing with his hand in his pockets. Next to him was the girl whom he used to play with when she was young.
"April, what has gotten into you? You are no longer who you used to be." Jeremy asked while looking at her. To him, it was a drastic changed. From the way she dressed, the way she dolled up herself and the way she talked.
"The old April is dead. She died a few weeks ago and she is not coming back. You killed my maker." She took a few steps forward, kicking the chains.
"You believe that Kol is able to take care of you till the end of your life? He would probably leave you once he got bored of you. He is a jerk and he can't give you happ..." Before Jeremy was able to complete his sentence, Kol kicked Jeremy's head and stepped on it.
"You are trying to influence my little April. It is not working. She is under my bond. Well she is my first blood line. I was killed by you and all my blood lines died along with me. Now that I am back, she is my first progeny and I am pretty sure she is going to continue the line." Kol's voice was calm but it was filled with hatred.
"Is he on vervain?" April asked.
"Well you bit him earlier on and you don't feel any burnt on your throat so no, he is not on vervain." Kol replied, looking at April. He stepped aside. April lifted Jeremy's head and slammed it on the well. She then looked into his eyes and compelled him.
"Jeremy Gilbert, whatever you feel or see right now, you won't remember it as soon as you wake up. You don't remember who April Young is." April slammed his head hard until he fainted on the ground.
Kol was amused with the new attitude April produced. He then took April's hands and vampire speed back to the mansion. April removed her boots and placed it at the side of the door. Kol turned April, making her face him. He kissed her avidly and passionately.
"I stink. I need to take a shower. Would you like to join me, Miss Young?" Kol offered her like a gentleman.
"Of course I do." She took his hand. He brushed her feet from the floor and carried her upstairs. She wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled as she looked at him. Just as he was about to reach his room, he felt the presence of one of his siblings.
"Elijah, are you here to check on April too? If yes, she is safe under my arm." Kol placed April slowly. She landed on her feet and stood next to Kol.
"Once the both of you are done with cleaning up, come into my room. I need to talk to the both of you." Elijah spoke with a calm voice. He then walked away. Kol and April looked at each other. He then opened the door and carried her onto his shoulder. He made his way to the bathroom and locked the door. He rested his arms around her waist. Slowly, he took off her white tank tops, jeans and April did the same thing to him. April felt that she was ready for all these. He kissed her as she leaned against the wall. He placed her hand above her head and kissed her down to her neck. He nibbled them as his right hand turned on the shower. He then pulled April closer to him. April moaned slightly as he nibbled her neck. He slowly released his gripped and April brushed her hand behind his back. She stroked his spine with her index finger.
"You are getting more comfortable with these. Are you ready for me?" Kol asked. April shook her head. She was not ready to surrender fully to him. She still loves the tease that Kol gave her. April handed him the shampoo bottle and soap. He squeezed out a little bit of shampoo and slowly massaged it on April's dark, raven, wavy hair. He slowly pulled her hair behind and their lips met. He looked at April intensely. April's eyes were begging him to kiss her. He smirked as he looked at April. He then tugged her lips as his right hand caressing her cheeks.
"Look at you, little one; you are hungry for my kiss. I love that." He was calmed but his eyes met hers intensely. April hold onto his arm tight. She really wants him to kiss her. Just as he was about to kiss her, he heard his brother's voice from the outside. He groaned low and let go of April's hair. April quickly rinsed off the shampoo on her hair and soap on her body. She put on her bathing robe, so did Kol. They stepped outside from the bathroom and saw Elijah standing next to the drawer with his suit.
"I was wondering what took you guys so long." Elijah looked at Kol. He shifted his eyes to April and smirked at her slightly.
"What do you want, Elijah?" Kol asked politely yet firmly.
"Let's talk at the balcony" He pointed out the balcony in Kol's room. Kol and Elijah walked to the balcony. April walked next to Kol. He rested his arm on her shoulder. The three of them sits around the mini coffee table.
Chapter Fifteen: Mine.
"Kol, since you and your little miss here is officially together, I suggest you take her somewhere. Go on vacation rather than Rebekah and Klaus keep on disturbing your life." Elijah spoke with both his hands on the table.
"Where do you want me to take this young lady?" Kol frowned slightly as he looked at his brother.
Elijah shrugged and replied, "If I were you, I would take her to the place where we built."
"New Orleans? That sounds like a good idea." Kol turned to his left and looked at April.
"Here are the keys to our family mansion in New Orleans. Stay there for a couple of days. And you little one, you should enjoy your time when you are at there." Elijah slides the keys on the table. April looked at Elijah and nodded lightly. She just didn't know what to say right now.
"April, if you don't mind, can you leave me and Kol in private?" Elijah looked at April.
"Why don't you go and put on something comfortable. I will go to your room later on." Kol placed his hand on her lap. April stood up from her sit and closed the door as she walked out to her room. Kol could not take away his eyes from her. Elijah noticed how deep his brother was into this young lady.
"Tell me the truth, what do you see in that young lady?" Elijah asked.
"Are we seriously going to talk about my relationship with April?" Kol was not happy with the question.
"You've changed into whom you used to be when you were with Maria." Elijah laid his back on the chair.
"If you want to talk about Maria, you are gladly to leave my room." Kol replied. "April is different. She is totally different from Maria. She understands me and really treats me as her maker. Now it would be a great honor if you stay out of my business." Kol replied with his normal tone of voice.
"I don't see it that way. You are treating her like a pet. More like you used her to satisfy your lust." Kol stood up and pinned his brother to the wall while choking him hard.
"Listen here, Elijah Mikaelson! I love April. I would take her far away from people like you and Klaus. Stay out of my life and thanks for coming up with the New Orleans plan. Now leave my room before I do something worse. You sure don't want to see my rage side, don't you?" Kol hissed as his bare fangs released from his gums. Elijah flipped Kol around and slammed his head on the coffee table.
"Kol, you are the youngest brother and I care for my family. April is pure, fragile and innocent. Don't you dare to change her into different person!" Elijah warned Kol. His hand was still on his little brother's neck pressing it against the table. Kol was faster than what Elijah thought. He took Elijah's hand and twisted it to the back.
"She is free to think and do whatever she wants. You have no right to tell me what to do. She is my progeny. She is under my bond and she is mine." Kol gritted his teeth. He then let go of Elijah and quickly vampire speed to April's room. He slammed the door and locked it. The slammed cause April to turn behind. She could see the burning fiery eyes in Kol's eyes.
"A-are y-you a-alright?" April stuttered as she stood still. She was not brave enough to get near him. She knew that Kol could kill her anytime especially in this situation right now. She did not move from the spot. She shifted her eyes to the floor. The next thing she realized was that Kol stood in front of her. He lifted her chin up with his finger and their eyes met.
"Little one, tell me exactly how you feel about me?" His pupil dilated as he looked into her eyes.
"I never feel this happy before. I really love you and I don't want to lose you." April replied as her eyes were glued to his. Kol smiled at her replied. He blinked his eyes and April was free from his compulsion.
"I love you too my little one. Now, why don't you go and pack your clothes. We are going to leave Mystic Falls and head to New Orleans tonight." Kol ended his sentence with a kiss on her forehead.
