Bright Horizon

This is the prequel to Dark Horizon. Kol and Asher weren't always the monsters they were in the 21st century. They were once innocent teenagers in an older time. This is the story of how they fell in love, became vampires and how they eventually turned into monsters.

Kol POV most of the time.

Chapter 2: Passion

"Idiot." Asher leaned in and kissed me on the lips. My mouth opened and he slid his tongue into my mouth. This was complete bliss. After a few moments we parted for air.

"Silly tiger . . . Should have told me sooner." I blushed.

"I was nervous. Liking men isn't normal." Asher chuckled.

"Well we're best friends. It's only natural best friends share everything together. Right?" I smiled. "Yea, you're right."

"There you go. I assure you nature loves this union." Asher kissed me again. Wow, I thought I was eager. He was pushing me to the ground. His hand was sliding under my shirt. I could feel his gloved fingers rubbing my stomach. I grabbed his hand and stopped him. I pushed him away.

"Asher . . . I . . . Things need to be slow." He smiled at me.

"Ok . . . Anything you want my prince." He laid back onto the grass. I scooted closer to him and laid my head on his chest. He smelled like roses. He put an arm around my back and rubbed me slowly.

"I would never have imagined I would be with you like this Kol." I could say the same. It was like a dream. I was in love with my best friend, I had been since we were 13. I know it's young but hey it just happened. We were on our usual walks and as we were walking we found this field and lake. I remember Asher ripping his clothes off and running into the water. I joined him and we played around in the water. I remember his innocent smile and thinking that if I could wake up to that smile everyday that would be perfect.

Two years later and here we are now. We kissed and are laying together in our field and holding one another.

"On the wind and cross the sea, there our love will ever be. From dusk till dawn and dawn till dusk our love will never be a hush. Bound together let it be I command you spirits come and see how we will always be." I chuckled at his words. He was always the poet.

"A spell Asher?"

"Not really . . . Just an asking of the spirits to bless us." I leaned up and kissed him on the lips. After a few moments I moved to his neck and kissed him and occasionally bir him. He let out a little yelp and pushed me away. He pushed me to the ground and climbed on top of me. He leaned down and kissed me passionately.

I wanted this moment to last forever. It ended though as he pulled away and laid back down on the grass. He sighed.

"I have to go you know. To a village miles away. Your mother is making me help her. Niklaus will be joining us. Before you ask no you can't go. You're father already set the law down on that." I wanted to pout to be honest. Me and my best friend admitted strong feelings for one another and now he has to travel and be gone for a few days. Typical for me.

"But we just became one! Why do you have to leave?" Asher chuckled.

"Ha ha ha, we aren't one yet." I blushed at how he stressed one. I knew what he meant but I couldn't even think of that right now. Most people my age were having sex now but I wanted to wait until it was right. When the moment would just creep up on us and we stare longingly at one another and everything in that single moment just says yes!

Asher stood up and pulled me up with him. He kissed me on the lips. He started walking with me back to the village.

"I will be back in a few days. I . . . Love you Kol." I parted from him and went to the house. He walked to mother and Niklaus.

I had to help father. I went to him to find out what I needed to do.

(Niklaus perception)

I had to go to some neighboring town miles away with mother and Kol's friend. It's not like I didn't like Asher. He was a cool guy, I was just seven years older than him. I envied how Kol got off doing work for father to hangout with him. I think father was afraid of him and his magic.

Asher was walking just ahead of me. He was in his usual black attire. Tight black leather, leather wrist bracelets and a black leather choker with an ankh clasp. He's going to give witches a bad name. No wonder father feared him. Mother of course adored him and saw him as the future of magic.

"Niklaus . . . Stop brooding. It will make frown lines." I looked over at Asher as he chuckled at his own comment. I shook my head.

"Don't want my pretty face to be ruined Asher?"

"Oh you know me." Asher chuckled again. He was playing with me. Maybe this wouldn't be too bad.

(Kol)

He's been gone three days! I am going crazy! I have been working non stop doing fathers work. Just finished hunting food for the week as well. I am so tired. Rebekah is cooking for us and to be honest my sister sucks at cooking. I'd rather starve. I waited in mine and Asher's field. I was hoping he would be back today but I doubt it. I closed my eyes to rest and fell asleep.

Thunder clapped in the sky and rain poured down from the sky. I wasn't sure what was happening. In the distance I could see a figure with his arms crossed. I ran to the figure and the closer I got the better I could make out the person. It was Asher!

I ran up to him and tried to grab his shoulder. He quickly turned and grabbed my wrist. The look in his eyes was fearsome. They were dark, black almost.

"Asher?" He growled and inched forward to my neck.

I jumped up in my sleep. I was breathing heavily. What was that about? It was so weird and frightening.

"Oh boo . . . I was going to surprise you." I smiled at the sight of Asher. Despite that odd dream. Asher was angelic and perfect. He walked over to me and held out a hand. I took it and he lifted me up to my feet. He leaned in and kissed me on the lips. "I missed you." I smiled at him and gave him a kiss. This one was a little deeper. He slid his tongue into my mouth and backed me up slowly. He pushed me back to the tree. He slid his hand under my shirt and started feeling my body. I grabbed his arm and moved his hand back down.

"Not now . . . . When the time is right." Asher chuckled. "You're a romantic. I like that." He kissed me again.

"How was it here doing boring work?"

"Terrible. Had to do a lot of work. All I could think about was seeing you again." Asher smiled. "My trip wasn't much better. It was boring and Niklaus was so . . . Sulky." I laughed at that. Niklaus was moody a lot, more so than my sister. "Close your eyes Kol." I closed them. He hovered over my lips before kissing me. He pulled away and took my hand. He put something small in my hand. It felt like a rock. Not sure what he was planning. "Open them." I opened my eyes and it was a rock.

"What's with the rock?" Asher chuckled. He kissed me again. "Close your eyes and focus when the time is right. You'll know when." I closed my eyes again and once again he kissed me. I knew this is what he meant because he was deepening the kiss. There wasn't much to focus on but Asher and his kissing. The love pouring from his kisses and touch.

I could feel the rock in my hand twitch. Something was happening to it. Asher kept the kiss going as the rock continued to twitch and transform.

After a few more moments he pulled away and I opened my eyes. In my hand was no longer the rock but two roses intertwined, a lavender rose and a red rose.

"I'm so confused right now Asher?" Asher was smiling. There were tears in his eyes too. "Asher what's wrong. He laughed. "Nothing, it's right. Everything is right." I was going to continue my question but he kissed me before I could.

"Ok . . . Asher? What is up?"

"I enchanted the rock to transform into a rose of the color of our meaning. The rock turned into two roses and of two very important colors. Red which means love, genuine love and lavender which means love at first sight and enchanting. The fact that they were intertwined mean nature has blessed us!" I was at a loss for words right now.

"I could have told you that Asher. I love you, I've known it since my thirteenth birthday. Yea were still young but we're men. You're a powerful witch that makes money from potions and enchantments. I've been learning to forge weapons and I'm good at it. I've had people offer a lot for some of my work. We can support one another . . . . I knew this was meant to be!" Asher smiled.

"I know . . . Knew . . . I love you Kol and I always will."
