A/N: As many of you painfully saw in 4x12, our beloved baby, Kol was stabbed by the Gilbert Clan. I'm just here to say that I will not be killing Kol, that would just be stupid. So that is all, enjoy :D
Recap: Damon and Elena kissed, Stefan of course is pissed. Alaric is running crazy with his alter ego on the loose; Esther is possessing Rebekah and plans to make Alaric a super vampire hunter.
Adelina woke up the next morning, with Kol's arm wrapped around her. She knew he was awake, he was just making sure she was still there. "I didn't take you for the cuddling type." She said, her back facing him. Kol pulled on her waist making her roll over, "You've just never seen this side of me," He smiled at her trying to seduce her. Adelina rolled her eyes, "I've been stuck with you for 1000 years, and you never cuddled." She said, quickly kissing him then got out of bed. She pulled out another phone from her drawer, and texted Rebekah. "I destroyed your phone." Kol said, confused,
"Yeah, and being with a vampire with a temper you learn to have more than one phone." She said, putting her phone down and slipped on jeans and a sweater.
"Are better not be texting that commoner." Kol warned,
"Why would I? You compelled me remember?" Adelina said tossing him his boxers. "It's Rebekah, there's a dance at the school and she's dragging Klaus, and she wanted to know if I would go." Adelina walked over, sitting on the bed beside Kol, "Can I go?" She pouted, he smiled, "I have some work that needs to be done, so why not. But remember, darling, if he so much as breathes on you, he's dead." He had that sick twisted tone in his voice that Adelina knew not to mess with. "When's the dance?" He asked,
"Tonight," She answered, he nodded, "Well have fun for me," He smiled, putting on his clothes in a flash.
"Where are you going?" Adelina asked,
"I have some loose ends to deal with, don't wait up." He kissed her deeply, but it was quick. He sighed, "God, I've missed you." He kissed her forehead before leaving.
Adelina went back to Mystic Falls to get ready for the dance with Rebekah, she went to the mansion where she found Klaus painting. "Did you have fun?" He asked, not bothering to turn around. Adelina looked around at his different paintings and drawings around the room.
"Define your definition of fun." Adelina said,
"Kol told me of your little party with Jeremy Gilbert. I have to admit he was quite jealous." He turned smiling, "But I'm sure he fixed that." Klaus said, Adelina rolled her eyes, ignoring his comment.
"Where's Rebekah?" Just then she came in holding a white oak stake, "Here you are Nik, the last white oak stake that can kill us, do you want to do the honors or shall I?" Klaus grabbed the stake, tossing it into the fireplace behind him, watching with a satisfied smirk on his face and went back to his painting.
"Which Salvatore did you have to seduce to get that?" Adelina asked, watching the stake burn.
"Alaric handed it over, quite willingly actually." Rebekah replied with confidence.
"The history teacher with a homicidal vampire hating alter ego? Why would he give it to you?" Adelina questioned,
"As you've learned, I can be quite persuasive." She smiled, "Well I guess that's that then," She said turning to walk away.
"Pack your bags, we're leaving." Klaus said, Rebekah stopped, "Today?"
"Why not? There's nothing keeping us here, we'll grab the doppelganger and be off by sunset."
"But tonight's the decade dance," Rebekah said, "So?" Klaus asked,
"So, I'm head of the dance committee, we have to go." Rebekah argued, "I'm not going to any dance."
"Caroline will be there," Adelina added, Klaus looked at them both,"That means nothing to me," He lied.
"Please? I have big plans for tonight, just go for me." Rebekah pleaded with puppy dog eyes, Klaus could never deny his sister, "Okay fine. One last hoorah." He broke down,
"One last hoorah, Nik." She smiled. "Come on, Lina, let's go get ready." Adelina followed Rebekah upstairs to her room, where 20's flapper dresses where hanging on racks. "Having trouble choosing?" Adelina asked, looking at all the gowns. Rebekah idly walked around her room, "Are you okay?" Adelina asked, Rebekah looked off.
"Yes, why wouldn't I be?" She said, looking through dresses, like she didn't know what to choose, even though she's been through the 20's.
"You seem off, are you sure you want to go? I mean after your mother just died in front of yo-"
"I'm fine." Rebekah snapped at her. Esther knew Adelina was smart, and she would figure out her plan before it was finished, "Really," She smiled, "I like that one for you," She walked over and pulled out a dark blue flapper dress. Adelina held it up to herself in the mirror, "Yea." She agreed,
Adelina walked into the Grill, to see Jeremy playing pool, she looked around the Grill for any signs of Klaus. When she felt safe, she walked over to him, "Hey stranger," She smiled, Jeremy looked over at her,
"Hey, what are you doing here?" He said, looking around the Grill for Kol.
"He's not here so don't worry." Adelina brushed it off, "He threatened to kill me," Jeremy said,
"Yeah and he tried to compel me, he's actually jealous of you which is a first I've seen." She laughed,
"Wait so you're not compelled?"
"Just cause I'm running with Originals doesn't mean I'm an idiot, I've been taking vervain for the last 400 years." She smiled.
"Well I'm not going to be part of your plan to piss your psychotic boyfriend off." Jeremy said going back to his pool game.
"It wasn't like that," Adelina said,
"Okay, well then if he treats you so bad and the only way to get his attention is by using people then why are you with him?" Jeremy asked, Adelina narrowed her eyes at him,
"You know you shouldn't make assumptions about people, especially a 1000 year old vampire who would rip out your throat without blinking." She threatened him,
"I can see the apple doesn't fall far from the tree," Jeremy countered, Adelina rolled her eyes, getting annoyed,
"You know I came here to see if you wanted to go to the decade dance, but I see you're too busy being judgmental." Adelina started to walk away when Jeremy called after her,
"You're going to the dance?"
"Yeah, Rebekah is dragging me and seeing as I've never been to a dance, I figured I could go with a friend." She gestured toward Jeremy,
"What about Kol?" Jeremy asked, "Because I would like to live to see my senior year." He smiled,
"What Kol doesn't know, won't kill you." She smiled, leaving the Grill. As she was leaving, her phone buzzed, it was Kol.
"Hi," She answered,
"Where are you?" He said,
"Mystic Falls staying as far away from Jeremy Gilbert as possible," She said, walking down the street.
"Good, so I'll see you at the dance?" Adelina stopped in her tracks,
"You're coming?" She asked, trying not to sound shocked. "Yes, is that a problem?"
"N-No, it's just Jeremy will be there and I don't want people hurt."
"Since when do you care?" Kol questioned,
"He's Elena's brother and Klaus won't be happy if his precious doppelganger is upset." Kol hummed in response, "Well I'll see you tonight." He hung up.
Adelina got ready and headed to Jeremy's house to pick him up. He answered the door, stopping for a moment to look at her. "What is it too much?" She went to take the feather out of her hair,
"No, No! You just-" Jeremy started, "You look beautiful," Adelina blushed, trying to hide the smile. In 1000 years, no one, not even Kol has called her beautiful. Jeremy held out his arm, "Shall we?" She smiled, taking his arm, "You're smart for not inviting me in," She commented, as he laughed.
They got to the dance, the music was in full swing, "So what were you doing during the 20's?" Jeremy asked,
"Kol was daggered so I was on my own enjoying the sights and sounds, I was living in Manhattan, I was actually in the first moving picture." She said, Jeremy gawked impressed. "Really?"
"No!" She said, as he fell for her lie, "You should never trust a vampire." She smiled, pulling to the dance floor. They danced and she laughed at his moves seeing that he really didn't get out much. But the song slowed down, Jeremy held his hand out, Adelina reluctantly took it as they danced. She didn't focus much on it, her eyes were darting around the floor looking for any sights of Kol.
"Scared?" Jeremy asked,
"Apprehensive." Adelina corrected, "I'm not afraid of him," Jeremy said,
"You should be. Kol will rip you apart without blinking." Adelina said,
"If he scares you so much, why are you with him?" Jeremy asked for the second time today. Adelina sighed,
"It's a very long, very complicated story." She said,
"Well I'll remind you to tell me sometime." He said, Adelina looked over the dance floor and saw Elena dancing with Stefan, "I hear your sister has a long track record with vampires." Jeremy shrugged,
"What about you? Do you like running with vampires?" She smiled, looking at his ring, she knew it protected him from the supernatural. Jeremy's eyes dropped, bringing up Vicky and Anna was still hard. "It's a very long, very complicated story." He quoted her, Adelina smiled. "Well I'll remind you to tell me sometime." She smiled up at him, then laid her head on his shoulder.
"I trust you." Jeremy said out of nowhere, responding to her earlier comment.
"I'm not worth trusting." She said, looking at him. "Why not?" He asked, he was stubborn.
"I'm a vampire, Jeremy, I'll do whatever I'll have to do to survive." She answered truthfully as the song ended and a more upbeat song played. Adelina moved away from Jeremy and over to the punch bowl.
"Well don't you look stunning." Kol's voice said from behind her, Adelina turned around to see Kol in a dress shirt with a vest and tie, pants and a fedora.
"What are you doing here?" She asked,
"What forget I was coming, too busy throwing yourself around?" He said, she could tell he was angry.
"What are you talking about?" Adelina asked,
"I saw you with the Gilbert boy. It seems I know have to watch what you eat." Kol said, Adelina looked at him scoffing a laugh, "I don't know what you're talking about." She tried to walk past him, but he grabbed her arm.
"Don't make me do something you'll regret, Lina." He threatened, Adelina ripped her arm away.
"Is there a problem?" Jeremy said, walking over to them. Kol closed his eyes smiling, moving toward Jeremy but Adelina got in between them. "It meant nothing, Kol. It was just a dance, it meant nothing." She said, Adelina was just as good an actor as Kol and could play just as good a game. She felt terrible that Jeremy had to hear this.
Kol looked at her, wanting to compel her, but knew he couldn't. Adelina put her hands on the sides of his face. "I love you. He's just a commoner." She said, knowing Jeremy could hear every word. She did what she had to do. Kol grabbed her hands, "Come on, we're leaving." He said as he led her out of the school, but they were stopped by a barrier. There was a ring of salt around the perimeter of the school. Kol went back inside to find Rebekah, leaving Adelina outside.
Jeremy came out with Damon and Stefan who were both stopped by the barrier, "Salt, it's a binding agent for a spell." Stefan said,
"No? Really?" Adelina said, her arms crossed over her chest. "What is going on?" She asked, "Your boyfriends vampire hating mother took Elena." Damon explained, "And now we're trapped when they're off doing God knows what."
"Where's Alaric?" Adelina asked, knowing Esther would want something with him as well.
"Esther's going to use Alaric." Damon figured it out, as him and Stefan went back into the school to find Bonnie. Jeremy stayed out, looking at Adelina, she saw the hurt in his eyes. "Jeremy," She said,
"It's nice to know how you feel about the commoner." He snapped, walking back inside the dance.
Soon enough Klaus came walking out of the dance with Kol, seeing as Rebekah was nowhere to be found, Klaus stopped when he saw the salt, "What is this?" He demanded, "Your mother's back." Adelina said. Her, Kol, Klaus and Stefan walked into a class room, where Bonnie was performing a spell. Kol looked over and saw Jeremy, they shot daggers at each other, before Kol possessively wrapped his arm around Adelina.
"What's taking so long?" Klaus demanded, getting annoyed with Bonnie's chanting, "All boundary spells have a loophole." Just then Matt walked in,
"People are walking right out the dance, right past the barrier."
"If Matt and I can leave we can stop Esther ourselves, we just gotta find out where she is." Jeremy said,
"It would be suicide, Jeremy." Stefan explained,
"That's fine by me." Kol smirked at him, Jeremy shot him a look. Klaus looked over at Bonnie's boyfriend Jamie, flashing over grabbing him by the neck. "Suicide would be disappointing me; now work your magic witch, or I'll start killing people you fancy."
"Let him go!" Bonnie demanded.
"Not until you get us out of here." Klaus said, smiling at Jamie's struggle. Stefan walked over to try and stop Klaus,
"Awe don't be stupid Klaus, Bonnie doesn't give a damn about us. The only reason she's helping us right now is to save Caroline and Tyler." Stefan said, "You start killing the people she cares about, she'll tell us all to go to hell." Klaus looked at Jamie then at Bonnie and back then released Jamie.
Bonnie got to work on a locator spell for Elena. Kol went to keep an eye on her. Adelina stayed in the room with Jeremy. "I told you not to trust me." Adelina told him, Jeremy just kept ignoring her, "Look Jeremy, I know your hurt, but I told you-"
"You didn't tell me anything, Adelina. You didn't tell me how you really felt about me." Jeremy said, believing what she said to Kol. Adelina hopped down from the desk she was sitting on,
"I didn't think I had to, I though you knew."
"What that I'm beneath you? A peasant?" Jeremy said,
"No, that you're my friend, and I have to do what I have to do to protect you." She grabbed his hand, hoping he would believe her.
"I don't need protecting from Kol." Jeremy said, pulling his hand away, and walking out with Matt.
When Bonnie finally lifted the spell, Klaus and Kol went to get Esther's body, taking God knows where. Adelina followed to find Jeremy who was with Damon, Elena, Stefan and Alaric.
"Jeremy," Adelina called,
"Not now." He said, pushing her away,
"Don't do that Jeremy, don't push me away!" She said after him,
"Or what? Kol can't see you with the lowly commoner. You know you were wrong you know, you don't do what you have to, to survive; you're just like Kol, you like to manipulate people as it suits you." Jeremy accused her, it was like he shot a gun, and Adelina felt the bullet. "And I actually thought you liked me." He laughed to himself,
"You like me?" Adelina gasped,
"Is that so hard to believe?" Jeremy asked,
"Why?"
"You're fun, you're smart, you have this way about you; you understand me." He said, that caught her off guard. "But that doesn't matter now," He said. She was about to answer him, when Kol reappeared, "Let's go, Lina." He called, Adelina walked past Jeremy, leaving with Kol.
Once they were back at the mansion, Adelina texted Jeremy,
I know you don't believe me, but I like you too…
She turned off her phone, not wanting to see his response, probably knowing what it would be. She had just lost the only friend she'd ever really had. Turning around seeing Kol leaning against the door, "You lied to me." He said,
"Well now you have nothing to worry about, I'm all yours. Forever."
A/N: What do you guys think of Jeremy and Adelina? I have a plan for how I want their relationship to be, but what do you guys think?
