Thank you so much for all your feedback. This is going to get darker, just a warning. I kind of want to try can I write this kind of text.
Chapter 21
Daddy dearest
Kol had never thought that he could actually be worried about some human's survival. Hopefully that boy wouldn't die before they would get there. He wanted his prize. Kol looked at Selene who hadn't spoken much since they had left from the hotel. She was only concentrating on driving. He had to admit that he never expected her to make that kind of offer. Not that he was complaining. One night… Well, it would be enough. He would finally get rid of his ridiculous obsession. He would never admit it to anyone but he actually was obsessed with her. Who knew why. She was just a human. Still he could hardly wait to have her. And all he had to do in return was to save her brother. That was truly the best trade he had ever made. Selene seemed tired and stressed.
"You need a break", Kol said.
"There's no time", she murmured. "And we're almost there."
"Hmm. Tell me something darling, why one night?"
Selene looked tense.
"You already agreed…"
"Yes, yes", he interrupted her. "That's not what I meant, I'm just curious."
"That's something I want to keep to myself", she said quietly.
Kol smirked.
"Alright, fair enough. But don't worry sweetheart, that night is going to be something quite… special."
Selene didn't say anything. When they arrived to the hospital she almost ran inside. Kol stayed right beside her. She spoke with some nurse and headed to an elevator. She didn't seem to even notice Kol's presence. When they stepped out of the elevator, Kol saw her other brother. He was shouting to some older man.
"Get the hell out of here you son of a bitch!"
"Dad?" Selene said stunned.
The older man turned to her. He was maybe in his fifties; he had a blondish hair and blue eyes. He smiled when he saw her.
"Selene, my little flower. Come here."
Selene held still when he hugged her.
"Why are you here dad?" she asked calmly.
"I'm here for my son of course…"
"No, he's not", Derek interrupted him angrily. "He's here for himself as always. Tell Selene what you really want, pops."
His father scowled him.
"I am speaking with my daughter now Derek, stay out of this…"
"He wants to remove Jason from life support so he can have his organs", Derek said coldly.
"How can you say that! I only want what's best for my son…"
"Since when have you cared about his well-being? Or ours for that matter?"
"Of course I care about all my children."
"You want to remove Jason from life support?" Selene asked calmly.
Her father turned to her.
"As I said, I only want what's best for my son. I know it's hard but it's best to let him go. I mean really, how you can even pay his hospital bill…"
"I will pay it", Kol said.
Everyone turned to him.
"And you are?" Selene's father asked.
Selene looked tense.
"This is Kol, he's…"
"I'm her boyfriend", Kol interrupted her smiling.
Both Derek and his father looked stunned.
"Boyfriend? And you want to pay my sons hospital bill?"
Kol smiled charmingly.
"I would do anything for Selene."
Her father was looking at him closely. Then he started to smile.
"Well, I'm glad to hear that. I'm Tom, Selene's father."
"Yes, so I heard."
Derek was looking at him suspiciously. Kol turned to him still smiling.
"And you must be her brother."
"Yes, I'm Derek."
"I would like to see Jason", Selene said.
"Of course sweetie, but can I have a word with you first?" Tom asked smiling.
Derek was about to say something but Selene touched his shoulder.
"It's ok."
She followed her father around the corned. Kol could still hear them clearly. Derek went to the vending machine without saying a word to him.
"So, how long have you known that guy?" Kol heard Tom asking.
"Not very long."
"He seems to really like you."
"Hmm."
"And apparently he has money."
"What's your point?" Selene asked.
Tom sighed.
"Alright sweetie, I'm going to be honest. You see, there was this misunderstanding and now I need some cash. Just for loan of course. Could you do that for daddy?"
"You left us to pay your debts", Selene said calmly. "They broke Derek's finger and were about to do much worse…"
"No, no, no. I didn't leave you; I was trying to protect you! I had no idea that those bastards would ask you to pay that money…"
"Dad, please just stop."
"Sweetheart, you know how much I love you and your brothers…."
"Is that why you want to take Jason's organs?"
"No, I just wanted to do something good. His organs could safe lives…"
"You were going to sell them, weren't you?"
"No! How can you say that?"
"I know you dad", Selene said. "You never think about anyone except yourself."
There was a moment of silence.
"Fine." Tom's voice was suddenly very cold. "So how well does this rich boyfriend of yours really know you? Have you told him how you used to play with uncle Bobby?"
"What?" Selene sounded shocked.
"You get me that money Selene, or I'll tell him exactly what a little tramp you are. We'll see if he still wants you after that."
Kol heard Selene running. Tom appeared behind the corner. He was smiling.
"Selene had to go to the ladies room, she'll be right back."
"Hmm. Who is uncle Bobby?"
Tom looked surprised.
"How do you…"
Kol looked into his eyes.
"Tell me."
"He's my ex-wife's brother. He stayed in our house sometimes when he didn't have his own place."
"And what does he had to do with Selene?"
"I saw him touching her once when she was seven or eight."
"Touching her?"
"Yeah, she was standing naked in front of him."
"And you didn't do anything?"
"Like what?"
"I see. I want you to go to the parking hall and wait for me there. I want to have a word with you somewhere more private."
"Ok."
Kol had to really control himself that he didn't kill him right there. He would kill him very soon. And this uncle Bobby. But first things first. Kol went to Jason's room. He was lying on the bed attached to all kind of machines. Kol closed the blinds and bit his own wrist. He wasn't sure how much blood would Jason need. This was a new thing for him. Well, better safe than sorry. Kol waited until Jason opened his eyes. He looked confused. Kol smiled when he walked out and bumped into Selene. She seemed upset.
"It's done", he said calmly.
She looked relieved.
"Thank you so much."
"You're welcome. I have to run some errands before we leave; you can wait for me here."
"Are we leaving tonight?" Selene asked quietly.
"Yes. I will be back after two or maybe three hours. You can spend that time with your brothers."
"I…thank you."
Kol smiled.
"Deal is a deal. I have done my part."
Selene's face went blank.
"And I will do mine."
"Oh, I know you will." Kol leaned closer and kissed her cheek. "I will see you soon."
Kol headed to the parking hall. He had some killing to do.
