Episode 2.5:
Promises
The car door slams shut, as Jame is seen looking out at the mildly busy city before him. Another sound of a car door slamming was heard from the passenger side with Kol walking around to join his partner at his side.
"So this is New Orleans?" the black haired witch said softly turning his attentions to the original vampire next to him.
"Indeed it is. Beautiful is it not?" Kol said with a smirk looking into Jame's deep dark brown eyes.
Jame doesn't say anything in response looking away from his vampire lover with Kol raising his eyebrow wondering why his new boyfriend had suddenly fell silent.
"What is it love? You've gone quiet." informed the Mikaelson son worryingly.
The warlock narrowed his eyes a little taking in the sites and the many people around him feeling uneasy all of a sudden, "It's nothing.." paused Jame taking a moment to try and make sense of what he was currently feeling and began remembering his conversation with Kol the night before.
(The Night Before...)
"You're Uncle?" voiced Jame, who was surprised by his lover's words. "You've never mentioned him before.." added the warlock.
Kol just smiled cleverly to himself before turning away from the Blackwell heir and walking towards Jame's large window, "And for good reason too." he paused, "He had to remain a secret or my siblings would especially Niklaus would have gone looking for him." revealed the undead male.
Jame listened to Kol's response still a little confused about everything, "Okay..but why all the secrecy? And isn't he dead for that record? Considering you're over a 1000 years old and all.." he snickers a little to himself walking away from his bedroom door.
Kol listens closely, "Looks like my sister is looking to take her leave following our confrontation upstairs! Good." revealed the vampire happily turning around to face his partner across the other side of the room.
"It's late. I'm beat Jame that spell was brutal for me. I have to feed and rest. I'll wait for you, plus my niece still needs that cloaking spell you promised her. I may not give a damn about my siblings, but I care about her." Kol said genuinely before walking up to Jame and gently pressed his forehead against the warlock's, all while running his hands across the sides of his neck.
"Go. I'll be here, when you return." he yawns a bit feeling how weak he is right now.
"Okay." nodded Jame before lightly kissing Kol's lips briefly but slowly too and exited his bedroom closing the door behind him.
Jame made his way downstairs seeing Rebekah wiping her eyes with a sleeping Hope in her baby carrier on the sideboard in the foyer. "Rebekah..." he called softly.
Rebekah heard his voice and had a look of disapproval on her face, she sniffed: "I have nothing to say to you. Screw my brother and screw you witch!" she angrily said to Jame before turning around to face him quickly.
"Hey! Look Rebekah, I made Hope a promise and I made Kol a promise and I keep my promises.." he said firmly to the blond vampire walking up to her and pulling out a medium-sized, light green and ellipse-shaped stone from his back pocket.
Rebekah saw the stone, "What is that?" she asked with angry interest.
"It's the cloaking spell, I promised you. One that can't be broken except by me. It's magically bound to this stone." he explained to her, "You take it with you at all times, it will protect both you and Hope from being found by other witches." he further added: "Take it and keep the little one safe, alright?" Jame said to her adamantly.
Rebekah looked at the warlock snatching it quickly from Jame's hand looking it over before making eye-contact with the Blackwell heir shortly after: "Fine. But if I found out this stone of yours is fake, I'll kill you understand?" threatened the original vampire.
Jame stared intensely at her not surprised by her ungratefulness, "You could try.." he replied confidently: "But its not fake. I did it for Hope not for you or Kol for that innocent little girl." he revealed, "She and I are not so different." he further added.
"Oh really? And how's that..witch?!" she said hatefully.
Jame snickered at her response: "We're not that close, Rebekah." he reminded her, "Either way, she's safe now as long as that stone stays with you the two of you." he paused, "..I know you want answers Rebekah; about me, about everything..but let me tell you something.." he said stepping closer to her looking down at the blond.
"I am not your enemy." Jame told her truthfully, "I love you're brother or I wouldn't have brought him back or took the risks that I did, when I chose to involve myself in his family dramas." he sighed softly, "But he asked for my help and I couldn't say no, not after seeing that little girl's face and my own kind calling out for her death. So I made my choice and now I have to live with that, but it'll be on my terms not anyone else's." he took a deep breath maintaining the seriousness in his voice.
"I belong to no-one. Not the spirits, not my family and sure as hell not to the Mikaelson family problems!" he paused, "Kol knows this and he respects my choice, he loves me for me not because he feels he has too or that he feels like he owes me anything. Just remember that okay, Rebekah?" he told her.
"Take care of yourself and Hope. I'm sure this won't be the last time we see each other." said Jame, "I'll keep him safe, Rebekah. I can promise you that." he added before taking a few steps backwards keeping his focus on the female vampire and taking his leave heading back upstairs.
Rebekah watches Jame leave and takes a deep breath looking down at the stone in her hand and then over at a sleeping Hope, she sniffs a bit keeping her emotions in-check: "Thank you." she said very quietly to herself before picking the carrier up carefully and exiting the Blackwell mansion and looking to get back on the road holding the stone tightly in her hand.
"She's gone now, I see?" said Kol to Jame, who had just re-entered his bedroom and closed the door behind him and had just removed his tank-top from his muscular torso and tossed it into landry basket nearby leaving him shirtless and just in a pair of black varsity pyjama pants.
Jame looks over at his vampire lover: "Yeah, she has. I gave her the stone too. They're be safe, as long as they keep it with them at all times." replied Jame walking over to his bed, where Kol was already laying in comfortably under the covers.
Kol smiled a little to himself, when Jame joined him under the covers: "Good. Thank you Jame for bringing me back and protecting my niece, when I know you didn't have too. I appreciate that." informed the vampire leaning over and placing his hand on the side of Jame's face.
Jame smirks to himself: "You're welcome, but at least now we can be together properly right?" asked the warlock with concern.
Kol grins evilly to himself, "Yes we do and I think, we've waited long enough don't you, love?"
Jame just grins back as Kol smirks some more leaning in and pressed his lips firmly up against Jame's kissing him passionately before eventually moving on top of him, as things faded to black bringing Jame's thoughts back into the present day and their arrival in New Orleans.
(Back In the Present Day..)
Jame smiles a little softly to himself briefly before looking at Kol: "You still haven't told me, why you're uncle needed to stay a secret and why we are here other then the fact you want to kill your family members who aren't Rebekah and Hope at the moment and how this uncle of yours is going to make it happen." reminded the warlock.
"All in good time darling, all in good time." said a very relaxed Kol, as he tapped Jame's upper back a couple of times, while smiling at him.
"Come. My Uncle is expecting me, I'm sure." Kol grins confidently to himself and puts his arm around Jame pulling him close and lightly kissing him on the side his cheek before leading him into town or more accurately the French Quarter; home to the witches of New Orleans.
