Chapter 19B
Caroline waited alone in the cellar while Kol was gone…wherever he was. She was sitting in the corner away from the bars, awaiting her fate. Everything was quiet now, she could hear water droplets falling from the floor and every creature moving around. She hated bugs and she would have moved but at this point, she didn't care much anymore. At least her mom was safe. At least she didn't have to worry about her or-
The sound of feet falling and hitting the ground made Caroline's face shoot up to see who it was. Her mom had better not have come back, and it was probably Kol anyway, but she had to check. The shadow emerged into just the smallest bit of light so that Caroline could make out his light hair and handsome features.
She shot up and was about to call to him when Klaus stopped and put his finger to his lips, designating for her to keep quiet. She nodded and he came closer. Once he got into the light he could see her tear-stained cheeks and red eyes, the worry in her face. It stirred something deep inside of him, made him angry. Angry at Kol, his insipid, horrible excuse for a brother. How dare he take away Caroline's light.
Klaus reached for the bars but Caroline quickly shook her head and arms, trying to silently explain that they would burn him. He didn't seem to care whether she wanted to be rescued or not because he grabbed them, pulling away just as fast, wincing at the burn. Caroline looked at him with an expression that was her quirky self again, crossing her arms as if to say "I told you so". Klaus just rolled his eyes, fighting the small smile that started to form on his lips. He looked over the bars once more and then stepped as close as he could get to hear without touching.
"Caroline, listen to me. I'll get you out of here if it's the last thing I do, but Kol will come running, and I need you to be faster. Do you understand me?" Caroline nodded, her expression saddened again, and she didn't know how to respond to the promises he made her keep, it was so hard to be away from him how could she leave him?
"I lo-"
"Caroline don't. Tell me that when we're out of here, alright sweetheart?" Caroline could feel his fingers graze hers from in between the bars below them. She nodded and Klaus took a step back. He took one breath and went for it. The vervain burned Klaus' hands but he couldn't stop. He pulled as hard as he could, while at the same time putting more and more pressure between him and the burning steel. He couldn't make a sound but Caroline started tearing up at seeing how much pain he was obviously in. The bars slowly started to move until Caroline saw that she could get through.
She dashed so quickly she got burned but she didn't care. Instantly she was at Klaus' side, his hands in hers. They were so burned that you could see the flesh underneath, at least it was already starting to heal. Caroline kissed around the broken flesh and watched as it healed under her touch. Then she was in his arms and holding on to him tight, kissing his shoulder and feeling his arms wrapped close around her. He took her face in his hands and kissed her, wanting to run now but somehow unable to pull himself away from her warm, soft lips caressing his.
He finally pulled away because he had to get them out.
"Caroline we have to go"
"Oh, I don't think so, brother." Klaus turned to see Kol leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. He got up but was quickly shot down by Damon who appeared knocking him to the ground.
"Damon?" Caroline called but didn't get an answer. Kol threw him against the wall and got to Klaus.
"Caroline, go!" Klaus yelled through clenched teeth, but before she could respond and tell him that she would never leave him, Kol pulled out a white ash dagger from around him and pinned Klaus to the wall "You are the scum of this family, Niklaus, and this is what you deserve."
"No!" Caroline screamed, but Damon was up , holding her back from getting herself staked by Kol.
Sudenly it was like everything was moving in slow motion. Klaus heard Caroline scream and saw Damon hold her, watched her try to wiggle out of his grip. He felt the dagger pierce his skin and saw Kol's blazing eyes. His body started to burn and he fell to the ground, letting go of consciousness. Caroline stopped trying to get away from Damon, instead letting herself go, falling onto him, crying as he held her, trying to comfort his friend.
Kol bent over screaming in pain just as Bonnie walked in. She concentrated on him and trying to kill every brain cell that he had. She never liked Klaus but no one hurt her best friend. Kol backed up and hit the wall when Elijah came in and pinned him hard to the wall, Rebekah right next to him.
"Kol," she acknowledged, holding a dagger in her hand, "you were never our brother, and you will burn in hell for what you have done. Goodbye, Kol." She said, sending a dagger straight through his heart.
