Floating in Numbness

GTBA

Kol had been Locked in his room all week. He was just… numb. Elijah had been traveling the world, trying to find a way to brink Katherine back. Kol hadn't spoken to anybody. Not even Caroline. They had sent Caroline in a few times to check on him but he was simply sitting against the couch, drinking bottle after bottle of alcohol. They were now standing at Kol's door, urging Caroline to go in.

"Fine! I'll go!" Caroline boomed, her tear stained face bearing a frown instead of her usual smile. She stormed in, slamming the door behind her.

"Kol." Caroline called.

"Yes darling." Kol asked in a sulky voice.

"Kol… please come out." Caroline pleaded.

"No! I don't want to! Caroline, it hurts too much!" Kol cried.

"You think I don't know that?!" Caroline screamed. "You think I don't feel that pain, every second of every day? Well I do, Kol. You aren't the only one who misses her and I know we all have different coping mechanisms but I need you! We need you! Don't shut me out Kol. I already lost one friend. Please don't make me lose another." Caroline begged. Kol looked softly at her.

"Caroline Forbes are you trying to guilt trip me?" Kol asked, a playful voice coming into tone.

"Maybe." Caroline played along.

"It won't work." Kol said. Caroline stood up. She then grabbed his hands and pulled him up. The two friends walked to the door and exited.

"Kol." Klaus said.

"Nik." Kol responded. He pulled his brother into a hug. As much as he liked sulking having people to lean on was even better.

"I'm starving. Literally." Kol said in a laughing manner. Caroline fell immediately, fainted.

"Caroline!" Klaus worried. He caught her just before she hit the ground.

"What's wrong with her…?" Kol asked.

"I don't know…" Klaus replied.

Elijah was in England. He was searching for a witch to bring Katherine back.

"Lucinda I'm sorry but I'm going to need you to bring my true love back." Elijah said, holding a middle aged woman in a choke hold against a wall.

"Fine!" She choked out. Elijah dropped her on the ground easily.

"Thank you." Elijah stated. The witch sent Elijah a glare but started getting the supplies together. She held her hands over a map of the world and chanted. A white light grew and fogged over the map. She chanted some more and it cleared, but not completely.

"I'm sorry. I can't locate her. Either she found peace or she went…. To the abyss." The witch said sadly.

"No! NO! NO!" Elijah screamed. He flashed out to where his car was. He got inside and cried. He practically broke down. Somehow he knew that she hadn't found peace.

Caroline woke up with a major head ache and throat ache. This had happened a few times, when she was in private, never in front of people. Klaus was sitting at her side, looking lovingly at her.

"Caroline, love. Are you alright?" He asked softly.

"Yah, I think it was just all of the stress and all. Got to me." Caroline shrugged. She was practically hyperventilating, but tried to conceal it for Klaus's sake.

"Okay, Love. I'm glad to hear you're alright." Klaus said. He looked at her hesitantly, before planting a kiss against her forehead.

"Good night, Caroline. Sleep well. I hope everything works out alright." Klaus said, bidding her goodbye before he turned her lights off and closed her door.

Kol came barging into Bonnie's bed room. No knocking. Just barging in. He was holding a bowl with his arm and his phone with both hands. He was engrossed in a game.

"Hello Bonnie. Pop in twilight new moon. I've already read each twilight book twice and I decided I like movie's more." Kol said.

"Uggg! You can't just come barging in here saying 'let's watch a movie'! You have to knock!" Bonnie said in frustration.

"Fine. I'll pop the movie in." Kol sighed; going to her DVD player he put the movie in and sat next to her on the bed.

"What were you playing on your lap top?" Kol asked, dropping his phone and staring at the TV.

"Nothing!" Bonnie said quickly.

"Hm. Then it's got to be something." Kol said. He flashed to her and grabbed her lap top, flashing to the other side of the room quickly. Bonnie protested but Kol paid her no mind. She was reading something…

"PLL Fan fiction? Really, Bonnie? What's fan fiction?" Kol asked.

"It's like…. What you wish you're favorite shows and movies went. Like…. Twilight! What if you wished Bella were with Jacob instead of Edward! They make it happen." Bonnie nodded. Kol gasped.

"I would do no such thing! I am strictly team Edward! I even have a secret shrine to them." Kol stated.

"So what is this, PLL fan fic about?" Kol asked.

"Uhhh…." Bonnie said, blushing.

"Fine. I don't like to invade people's private space with them knowing." Kol said.

"Uggg! You are horrible!" Bonnie said.

"It's why you love me." Kol said, smiling.

"I Do NOT love you! You are insufferable." Bonnie said.

"One day you will run out of insults to hide your true feelings." Kol said.

"Highly doubtful." Bonnie said, looking back to the TV screen. Somewhere along the way Bonnie fell asleep. In Kol's arms. Hugging up to Kol! Kol had started the third movie and was now just crying through it. He lost his best friend. But at least he had his family and his other best friends. And her. The girl he fancied. He had eventually cried himself to sleep; hoping Bonnie wouldn't mind him spending the night. Somehow he knew she would have something to say about it.

Klaus walked downstairs. It had been a good week. He hadn't seen Cassie at all. He walked down to the kitchen only to see a note.

'Hey Guys! I will miss you all equally but I'd rather not deal with my poor, tortured sister at the moment. She is quite annoying. Care bear. Suck it up. Now. I am leaving for ever. Have nice lives and make me a nice funeral! –Cassie'

"Yes!" Klaus screamed. He walked upstairs to Caroline's room. He slid the note under the door and went to paint. It was a great week.

GTBA

Katherine was in a box. She was next to a statue that looked just like her. She was being pulled towards the statue with magnetism, almost. But she resisted it. She didn't know how long she had been resisting it. Could it have been weeks? Or months? Or was it days? Perhaps years….? It was torture, resisting the force. She knew though that once she went in she wouldn't be coming out. So she stayed. She had felt like she was going mad. The only thing keeping her sane and happy was one thing. Elijah. She had remembered every moment they shared together. When she educated him on love, when he secretly helped her with blood lust, when he gave her a daylight ring. She remembered their love and wouldn't let it die, not like this. She felt winds pulling her up. She hung on for dear life, but failed. She was blown away into darkness. It was painful and scary.

GTBA

Hey, Guys! Sorry for a short chapter. I feel like we are making real progress though. I didn't have it in me to keep Katherine dead so I couldn't really write much. I didn't know how each character would react….. As always please review! Next chapter will be Kats funeral. Sobbing* I just am having such a hard time letting the mean queen go!

P.S- The box Katherine was in was the Amara box. The box Amara was in just please imagine it how you will. I was thinking. If bonnie has to touch stuff so does Amara, right? Just I thought maybe…. I know that the ones that came back before Bonnie was the anchor didn't know anything about Amara and they didn't touch Amara or anything and that was just a huge blank for me because they touched and saw bonnie and Amara and Bonnie had the same spell used on them and I know it's just a show but still! Happy Birthday! :(

Love -S
