Recap: Elena completed the transition, while vampire hunting SWAT teams where running around Mystic Falls. Hunter Conner is running around Mystic Falls digging up dirt of Pastor Young and Elena is trying to deal with being a vampire.
Adelina woke up to the sun shining in her face, her throat still hurt from the vervain, which hopefully was out of her system. She rolled over to find the bed was empty, but there was a note on the pillow.
Had to run some errands with Klaus
Be back soon,
Kol
P.S. Left you a gift downstairs ;)
Adelina sighed, going downstairs to see what looked like a male model who was only in his underwear. "Who are you?" Adelina asked,
"Kol told me to give you whatever you need," He said calmly, she laughed to herself. Motioning for him to turn, so she could get a better look at him,
"I guess you'll do," Adelina said, before flashing over to him and draining him dry.
As she was disposing of the body, her phone buzzed, it was Stefan. "Stefan, to what do I owe the pleasure?" Adelina answered,
"Tyler got shot with some kind of special bullet." Stefan explained,
"And? What do you want me to do about it?" Adelina said, washing her hands of the blood.
"Seeing as you're a vampire as old as time, you might know what it is,"
"Fine, I'll be over soon." Adelina sighed hanging up. She got the the Salvatore Boarding house to see Tyler on the couch, "What the hell happened to you?" Adelina asked, seeing the blood spots on his shirt,
"This guy Conner came into my house asking about Pastor Young, he shook my hand, and put four bullets in my chest." Tyler explained,
"Well I know first impressions are important," Adelina started,
"His gloves had vervain on them, he was looking for vampires." Stefan explained,
"Well that does cause problems; so what was up with the bullet?" Adelina asked, Stefan handed her the tweezers that held the wooden bullet. It was small, angled and had markings etched into it. Adelina immediately knew what it was,
"I've never seen this before," She lied, "But by the looks of the bullet, he's out to kill."
"You've never seen those markings before?" Stefan asked again, Adelina shook her head, "Sorry," She said turning around and leaving. When she was out of hearing distance she called Kol,
"Hello darling, did you like my gift?" He greeted,
"We have a problem," She said,
"What?"
"Hunters." She said simply,
"How do you know?"
"One of Klaus' hybrid's Tyler got a pretty good welcome from one today, four bullets in the chest with vervain dipped wooden bullets. This guy is going around town looking for vampires." Adelina explained, she could hear Klaus in the background,
"Klaus and I are coming back tomorrow, try not to get yourself killed." Kol told her,
"Oh believe me, I'm way ahead of you." She answered, hanging up.
After the memorial, Adelina met Jeremy at the Grill with Matt. "Heard Tyler got another bullet to the chest, " Adelina said, ordering a coffee. "Yeah, he's in the hospital," Matt replied, Adelina saw the bandage on his neck, "Who took a bite out of you?" She joked,
"No one, nicked myself shaving." He was a terrible liar, "You need a better excuse then that, Matt, and Elena has to stop trying to eat her friends." Adelina figured it out quick, Jeremy smiled. They grabbed their stuff and walked out, Jeremy looked behind him, to see Conner at the bar, "Nice ink," He complimented,
"That guy didn't have any tattoos," Matt said as they walked out,
"Yeah he did, it was half-way up his arm," Jeremy explained, Adelina stopped quickly, looking back to see Conner looking at them, then she left with Jeremy and Matt.
Jeremy and Matt went to the service for Pastor Young, while Adelina went to dig up some dirt on Conner. She found very little, seeing as he was very good at covering up his tracks. After hearing that Conner had shot Tyler in front of the entire town, she called Klaus who sent more hybrids into town.
Adelina decided to join Rebekah at school, "Morning everyone!" Rebekah said walking into history class handing out flyers.
"I'm having a little anti-curfew party at my new house, starts 5th period goes till whenever, spread the word." She said,
"You're welcome to join Elena, if you're ready to bury the hatchet," Adelina smiled handing her and Stefan flyers.
"Well that's a pretty enormous hatchet," Elena sighed,
"Well I'm feeling generous," Rebekah said,
"So Klaus finally kicked you out?" Elena said,
"He didn't kick me out, I left." Rebekah defended,
"So you left the only person who actually likes you?" Elena sneered,
"Well your boyfriend liked me once," Rebekah smiled, "Actually a lot more than once," Stefan butted in,
"Why are you two still here? Don't you have anywhere else to go? Adelina, I'm sure Kol is dying to see you."
"History is our favorite class, where is Mr. Saltzman? Oh, that's right, we killed him." Adelina got in Elena's face, Elena snapped, throwing her pencil at Adelina head, Adelina caught it, sending right back into Elena's shoulder. Elena and Stefan ran off, and Rebekah went to go have some fun with Elena.
Half way through the day, people started heading to Rebekah's house for the party, Adelina walked around with her cup trying to find something fun to do. "Workin' hard?" She heard Jeremy's voice from behind her, "More like hardly working," Adelina said turning around, Jeremy smiled at her,
"No Kol?" He asked,
"Nope, he's off doing God knows what, with God knows who." She said,
"I'm guessing it's not a very monogamous relationship," Adelina laughed at Jeremy's comment, taking a sip of her beer,
"When you live for as long as I have, you're lucky if you get to spend an eternity with someone." Adelina explained, as they moved through the house into the backyard.
"But Kol turned you to be with you forever,"
"He turned me out of pity, the first couple centuries we could hardly stand each other. He was rebellious and I was the jealous girlfriend."
"So why didn't you leave?" Jeremy asked,
"It's complicated when you're a vampire, you feel a million emotions at once; but it's true when they say you never know what you have till it's gone." Adelina explained, taking another sip, when she put the cup down, her vision started getting blurry,
"Lina are you okay?" Jeremy asked, she looked down at her hands to see something running through her, "Get Kol," Was the last thing she said, before passing out.
She woke up with the taste of blood in her mouth, "There's a good girl, drink up," Kol whispered, as she felt warm blood flow into her mouth. Just as she swallowed, the blood came right back up. "What's wrong with her?" Jeremy demanded,
"Well if I knew that, we wouldn't be having this problem now would we, mate?" Kol snapped back,
"Stop!" Adelina said, her voice hoarse, "Jeremy, you should go…" Adelina wheezed out, she could barely keep her eyes open. Then it clicked in Jeremy's head,
"Tyler said Conner had werewolf venom," He explained, Conner spiked the beer with venom to weed out the vampires. "We need to call Klaus!" Jeremy said,
"He's half way to Chicago by now, she'd be dead before he landed," Kol explained,
"Well we can't just let her die!" Jeremy said,
"I know!" Kol yelled back, "I know," He whispered to himself, moving a matted piece of hair away from Adelina's damp forehead. Adelina was out cold, "Jeremy you should leave, Lina wouldn't want you to see her like this." Jeremy reluctantly left the room, leaving them alone. Kol got in bed behind Adelina, letting her body rest against his.
She woke up an hour later, with Kol running his fingers through her hair, "That feels nice…" She wheezed out, Kol remained silent, Adelina hissed as the venom burned through her.
"Klaus isn't coming is he?" She said, it was more like a realization then a question. She coughed, spitting up more blood in her hand.
"You're going to be fine, Lina." Kol reassured her, she struggled a laugh,
"I'm not afraid of dying, Kol." She said, her voice quiet. "I've lived out my life," She coughed again, "It just shouldn't have been 1000 years.." This shocked Kol,
"I wanted a life with you, children, a house and a garden. I wanted to grow old with you, see our children grow up and have children of their own." Adelina wheezed another breath, it was getting harder to breathe now. "I don't regret my life with you, Kol, so I'm okay to die…" She coughed again, Kol held her tighter, tears forming in his eyes. Kol loved Adelina, he truly did. Yes, he took her compassion and ability to forgive him for granted, he blew her off, acting like he didn't care. But he loved her; sure it wasn't love at first sight like it was for her; but over the years, seeing how she stood by him, for better or worse, she never left. Then he realized..
"I'm so tired, Kol.." Adelina moaned her breathing shallow and hoarse. He kissed her head, a tear slipping down his face,
"Then sleep, darling," He whispered,
"Make the pain go away," She pleaded. Kol hugged her close as she drifted to sleep, kissing her hair one last time…
"I love you, Adelina Mikaelson.."
It was bright and warm like a summer morning, the sun shone through the trees, a warm breeze tussled the leaves and flowed through the meadow. Adelina could feel the sun on her face for the first time in a 1000 years. She was in a flowing white dress, there were wild flowers braided into her long black hair. She was human again.
"Mama!" A small voice said, Adelina turned to see a little girl and boy run toward her, without thought she opened her arms, embracing them. They each grabbed her hands, running through the fields with her until they got to a small hill with a single oak tree. Under it she saw her mother, Ayana, her father, and her sister, Arianna. Adelina broke into a sprint, meeting her sister half way, leaping into her arms. Her family together.
Sensing someone behind them, Adelina turned to see Kol. They looked at each other, she ran into his arms, he hugged her close, knowing this would probably be the last time he would hug her..
Adelina looked at him, seeing in his eyes he was sad, she touched his cheek, bringing his eyes to hers,
"You and me. Forever."
"Forever." He agreed, kissing her with every ounce of love he had left.
