Chapter Seven – An unwelcome surprise.

Richmond Airport

Kol whistled the tune to Billie Jean (as it was the last tune he heard) while he wondered through the huge airport doors. Not having a clue what to expect, there was no surprise that as he entered he was clearly taken aback by everything around him. He stopped in his tracks and abandoned the cases as his eyes darted back and forth. The enormous TV screen above his head was the last thing to catch his eye. He stepped a few feet back to look up without straining his neck. Kol examined the screen with scrutiny. He recognized many of the places labelled and realized that Orlando would be on the list somewhere.
"Boston, Washington, Atlanta, Chicago...Orlando! Found it!" Kol celebrated alone. He read along to make sure it was the right flight: Orlando (MCO) – Check in 4 – Boarding at 2:30pm. He found it all right.
"Kol?!"

He jolted at the sound of Nik's voice slowly approaching. Kol let out a deflated breath before turning on his heel to answer his brother.
"Yes, Nik?"
"Why are suitcases all the way over there?" Klaus pointed behind him. Kol scrunched his face in curiosity not entirely sure how they got there. He was too overwhelmed by his surroundings that he didn't even realize he let go of the cases and walked off.
"Well?" Klaus proceeded.
"Must you always speak to like I'm a child? I clearly let go of them by accident." Kol had enough with how his brother was treating him. He stepped forward to get the suitcases however was stopped by Klaus' arm.
"Do you want me to get the cases or not?" Kol shoved the arm away effortlessly.
"No."
"Now you are talking in riddles Nik? One minute I get moaned at by dropping them there and now I'm being told to leave them there?... Do Hybrid's tend to have two personalities? Or are you always this Bi-Polar?" Kol began to rant, annoyed with how his brother acted with him, "Wait, what am I saying? Of course you are... "

Sick of hearing his brother continue to insult him, Niklaus did the unexpected. Within a flash his fist tore right inside Kol's stomach. Overcome with the sharp pain, Kol bent over and fell right into his older sibling.
"Now that I have your full attention brother, I'm only going to say this once." He spat into Kol's ear. "This holiday is going to go how I want it to, you got that? And you and I both know that means you out of the picture but unfortunately that isn't going to happen. So instead I'll advise that you stay out of my way for these two weeks because the consequences might be disastrous for you, okay?" Klaus finished by digging his fist in a little deeper causing Kol to whimper and nod vigorously. Klaus decided that, that was enough and pulled out a now bloody hand and forearm. Kol instantly fell to the ground clutching his stomach as it healed.
"I'm off to the bathroom to clean myself up. I suggest you do the same." Klaus smiled sickly, before leaving his brother alone in the middle of the airport to let his previous words sink in.

Not long after, Elijah and Rebekah strolled in. Kol had just about managed to regain his balance and Klaus was no where to be seen.
"Kol what happened? Why are you all bloody?" Rebekah swiftly went over to help her brother up while making sure she avoided getting any of his blood over her.
"Nothing. I had an accident." Kol brushed her away.
"Did Niklaus do this?" Elijah asked.
"Just forget it! I'm a vampire, it's not like I'm hurt is it?" Kol argued. Elijah watched his baby brother's reaction go from contempt to anguish. "I'm going to get changed..." He exhaled and marched off to his suitcase and retreated to find a toilet where he knew Nik wouldn't be occupying.
The last two originals exchanged glances.
"What do you think happened?" Rebekah asked her brother once she knew Kol could not overhear.
"Niklaus happened." Elijah told her with a tone that sounded angry but the face of sympathy towards his brothers.
"If either of them ruin this holiday, I won't speak to them again. I mean it!" Rebekah flung her arms in the air with annoyance and picked up the two abandoned cases, Elijah copied by taking the other two. They both settled on going to find the queue to check in, while their brothers in the mean time were as far away from each other as possible.

The other end of Richmond Airport.

It was now one thirty in the afternoon and after much confusion and hindrance through check-in and security, Caroline decided that everyone needed a refreshment and something to eat. The group were all sat around two small tables outside the nearest coffee shop from their boarding gate. Matt and Jeremy were sat on a table on their own while the girls shared the other. Damon and Stefan were stood leaning against a high bench. listening to the conversations around them. Caroline was the only one facing the way they previously arrived from security check.
"How long does it take to get to Orlando?" Jeremy asked.
"About two hours." Caroline responded.
"Is there anything you don't know Care?" Elena smiled showing she wasn't serious.
"What? I did my research." The blonde vampire naively replied. Bonnie scoffed as she picked at a chocolate chip muffin she was sharing with Elena.
"What's so funny now Bon?" Caroline glowered.
"Nothing, just you in situations like this... It's funny that's all." Bonnie held out the muffin as a peace offering. Caroline politely rejected the offer and turned around to see what the Salvatore's were up to.
"Oi, Starsky and Hutch?" She referenced from Damon's earlier death race, "What time does it say on the screen that we can board? I can't see it from here." She asked.
"Then get up and look?" Damon rolled his eyes. "And might I add that, that was a very good TV show in the 70's, so don't be using it as an insult." He sardonically grinned and turned away. Stefan on the other hand did what she asked.
"It still says, two thirty. We have just under an hour to go." He smiled sweetly at the blonde.
"Thank you Hutch." She joked. Stefan laughed with the rest of the gang except for Damon. "And I'm Starsky why?" He spun his head back round.
"Because Hutch is my favorite out of the two." Caroline answered without looking at him.
Damon tutted at her comment.
"At least Starsky had your dark hair brother." Stefan prolonged the teasing by ruffling his hand in Damon's hair.
"Do you mind?!" Damon's mood hit a all new low as he grasped his brothers arm and flung it away.
"Isn't it usually Stefan who broods?" Jeremy was next to try on a joke.
"Hey, I do not brood!" Stefan flipped around to defend his self.
"You kind of do mate." Matt added. The girls giggles sneaked into the atmosphere.
"I don't!"
"Stefan, you really do..." Elena mentioned behind her amusement. He stared at Elena astounded that he was the one now being ganged up on.
"Wasn't Damon the one getting the full throttle a second ago?" He pointed.
"Hey, don't even try to get me involved again." Damon nudged Stefan as he sipped a glass of coke he ordered earlier. No one had a chance to reply because the tannoy interrupted.
"The three o'clock flight to Orlando International Airport has been delayed due to weather problems. Boarding will now take place from three fifteen until further notice. Thank you."
"Oh that's just brill!" Caroline cried.
"Well at least we are here and can relax Care." Bonnie tried calming the dramatic vampire.
"Yeah and now we are technically ahead of your schedule." Matt winked trying to lighten the situation. Caroline faced Matt looking like she wanted to hit him however it quickly changed to a cheery smile and a twinkle in her eyes.
"Yeah, I suppose I am now ahead of schedule." Her chirpy tone was back. Matt relaxed knowing he wasn't going to be the little vampire's punching bag while everyone else thanked the lord that she took the announcement the best possible way she could.

Richmond Security (Approximately 1:30pm)

"Explain to me why they had to take my suitcase away from me again?" Kol asked Elijah for the second time as they traveled up the escalator to the security barrier.
"As I said before, they need to take the luggage from the customers beforehand so they have time to get it on board the plane before we do." Elijah explained as basic as he could.
"Why couldn't we just take the luggage with us?" Kol jumped the last step in front of his brother.
"Because there is no room for us to place it on board. That is why we have hand luggage." Elijah breathed to hide his irritation.
"Ohh." Kol muttered as he finally understood.

Rebekah and Klaus were moments behind the other two. Elijah being quick on the mark decided that it would be easiest if Klaus and Kol were separated for the time being after the tension during check-in.
"Why did you have to undermine Kol?" Rebekah asked him as they stepped on the same escalator.
"It was the only way he would listen Rebekah. And I would say I got my feelings across perfectly."
"Yes but in the middle of a public place? I already noticed a few people watching us as I helped him up off the floor." Rebekah whispered among others around them.
"Yes and all they saw was a stupid boy on the floor holding his stomach and his sister helping him up?" Klaus stared at her unimpressed.
"All I'm saying is that you can't go around doing shit like that Nik! We are not in Mystic Falls anymore, you can't compel a couple of by standers to forget what they've seen." Rebekah pleaded hoping he would understand and not ruin the next fortnight for her.
"You should really be having this conversation with Kol..."
"Well, if what you just told me is true, Kol will probably be as tranquil and boring as Elijah."

Klaus snorted at Rebekah's sentence.
"I'm serious Nik." She screeched.
"Okay Bekah." He held his hands up in surrender, "As long as Kol isn't Kol during the time being, you have nothing to worry about." Klaus finished just as the escalator ended.
"Then I have got something to worry about." She grumbled and began to queue with everyone else.

"Where are we now?" Kol once again asked another question to his eldest sibling.
"At a security checkpoint." Elijah blankly responded.
"And that is?"
"It is where you put your hand luggage through a machine, to be checked for weapons, drugs or anything that can cause harm... Like a bomb." Elijah made sure he muttered the dreaded word so only Kol could hear.
"A bomb?" Kol asked in surprised tone that a few others heard around them.
"Kol?!" Elijah told his off.
"What did I do now?" He looked genuinely stunned.
"You can't say that word."
"You just said the word bomb!" Kol retorted. Tiny gasps and tuts gathered around the brothers as Kol tried to understand the concept.
"Enough Kol. Just talk about something else." Elijah hissed, clearly wishing he had to deal with Klaus right now and not him.
"Not until I know why I can't say the word bomb?!" Kol folded his arms and scowled at Elijah. Suddenly Kol noticed everyone around him looking at him with disgust in their eyes while his brother pinched the top of his nose and shook his head in disbelief.
"I am not discussing this here. I'll explain later... Much later." Elijah ended and turned away from a mystified Kol to apologize to the people in front.
"Fucking bombs..." Kol mumbled and kicked at the ground. The only time he wasn't trying to piss his siblings off and he accomplished it without knowing...

Elijah refused to explain anything else to Kol until they managed to pass the security checkpoint. When it was finally his turn to be examined Elijah placed his bag and valuables into a container (Including his shoes and belt). Kol watched in astonishment with what his brother was doing. He looked around expecting someone to stop him from what it seemed to be Elijah stripping, however everyone else didn't looked phased by this. Instead, everyone was pretty much doing the exact same thing.
"Would you like to walk through sir." A security guard motioned his hand at Elijah to walk through a metal door frame. Just like that, his brother was through the other side and collecting his things. Kol took a deep breath knowing this it was now his turn. He copied his brothers exact moves. Firstly, he took his bag off his shoulder and put it in the nearest container. Secondly, he followed that by taking off his shoes, grabbing his mobile and wallet and placing them with his bag. He watched as the container get rolled away into a dark tunnel.
"Sir, can you please walk through." The same security guard asked Kol to step through the metal door. Pleased that he did everything correct he walked through smugly until a sharp, alarming noise pierced through his vampire hearing. He jumped forward and looked up to see the metal frame blinking an uncontrollable red light.
"Please step aside sir." The man nudged him back as the noise and light finished. Kol looked at Elijah in distress, however to his surprise his brother was simply chuckling at Kol's error as he picked up his little brothers belongings to wait. Rebekah and Klaus had now appeared from the other security check unscathed. Why was it always him? Kol thought.
"What's going on now?" Rebekah asked Elijah as she saw Kol standing to one side waiting for the security guard to come back.
"Kol has something metal on his persons that got detected."
"And you didn't explain to him what to do?" Klaus asked a bit to amused.
"He was actually doing quite well until the alarm went off that is... "
Kol pulled out his arms to his siblings as a way of asking what is going on? Rebekah and Klaus snickered seeing his confusion.
"Put your arms out straight and part your legs please sir." The man had arrived with a funny looking contraption in his hand.
"Excuse me?" Kol spluttered. All his siblings were now in hysterics.
"Sir please could you do what I have asked?"

Reluctantly, Kol done what was demanded, guessing this was the normal protocol. He gawked uncertainly at the security guard as he began to move the machine over his body.
"You're getting a bit close there mate..." He told the guard as he motioned the detector below his waist. Ignoring Kol, the man continue to do his job until he got to Kol's wrist. The machine began to bleep like the metal frame.
"In future could you please place your personal jewellery into the containers." The guard vacantly told him as he saw a metal chain around his wrist. Kol just nodded relieved that he could now go and join his family once again.
"Why did no one tell me that, that was going to happen?" Kol rejoined them with a narrow face.
"You're meant to ask the poor sod out for dinner first before you let him get that close brother." Rebekah giggled.

"Oh truly original Beckah." Kol muffled while putting his trainers back on...
"The three o'clock flight to Orlando International Airport has been delayed due to weather problems. Boarding will now take place from three fifteen until further notice. Thank you." The tannoy announced to the vampires. Klaus and Rebekah growled in annoyance while Kol (as normal) had no idea what was happening.
"What does that mean?"
"It means you won't be getting on that plane for at least another two hours, more than likely." Elijah explained.
"So what do we do now?" Kol wondered as he walked through to the next section of the airport.
"Wait." Rebekah stated.
"Or we can go and find our friends?" Kol mischievously remembered.
"Um how about you go off and find them while I go and do some duty free shopping." Rebekah prodded her brother.
"Well that's no fun... Haven't you and Damon got some catching up to do anyway?" Kol smirked.

In a moment of weakness Rebekah shoved her brother with a bit more strength than she should of. Kol automatically went tumbling forward, luckily he saved himself from falling on top a couple of humans, sitting patiently waiting for their flight.
"Sorry!" He called out to the strangers and after trudged back towards his sister. "At least warn me next time, if you're going to push me like that!" Kol hissed as he got back to his family...

Meanwhile on the opposite side of the room , Damon was distracted by a familiar voice.
"Did you lot just hear that?" He interrupted the current conversation of what everyone is going to do when they get to the hotel.
"Hear what?" Matt asked.
"Not you guys, I'm talking to the ones who's hearing actually matches mine." Damon sighed. Matt looked offended however, didn't reply.
"What are we meant to be listening to Damon?" Elena breathed.
"Shhh." He waved his hand at her.

"Why would I warn you, If I was going to push you?" Rebekah voice echoed through Damon's ears.
"Oh my god! No, Damon is right, I heard it to, listen." Caroline urged Elena and even Stefan to use their hearing.
"Can you two please stop bickering." Elijah's voice was the next to be heard by the four vampire's
"Was that who I think it was?" Stefan whispered.
"What's going on?" Bonnie uttered.

Caroline being the only one who can see everyone coming up from downstairs was the first to see Kol swanning around like his usual self.
"Um guys..." She pointed in front of her. Everyone including the humans turned around to see.
"No." Elena muttered to herself when she took a glance of the first original in sight. Kol was soon followed by his sister, Rebekah.
"No..." Damon complained seeing his most recent conquest. Elijah swiftly entered the groups sight next.
"Nuh uh..." Bonnie shook her head refusing that she was seeing the oldest vampires only a few yards away from where she was seated. Finally to everyone's horror Klaus was last to be seen strolling behind his siblings.
"NO!" Caroline's eyes widened. The group were all now standing waiting for the original vampires to approach. No one said a word except Caroline who was whispering to her self.
"This isn't happening. This isn't happening." She had her hands over her eyes. Kol eventually reached them and had the same charming smile plastered across his face.
"Well, hello my fellow supernatural beauties." He greeted however, shrugging when he saw the two human guys, "Fancy bumping into you, in a place like this?"
"Why?!" Caroline looked up to the ceiling expecting an answer. Knowing Klaus was going to be standing alongside his brother at any moment, she stormed off leaving her companions to deal with the unwelcome company. Kol watched the pretty blonde leave on his account and grinned happily.
"Was it something I said?"
