I know, im a dick! April kinda made a cameo in the last chapter as to why? She was the only newcomer who frankly I thought wouldn't be that up to date with the information although Rebekah had other ideas…damn, bitch. Anywhose; this chapter involved a few of my favs: Klaus(! :D), Kol (OFCOURSE! :D) and a little bit of Elijah(! :D :D :D :D)
Kol had spent nearly an exhausting hour searching for his least favorite brother Klaus and the vampire killer in training: Jeremy when he finally stumbled upon Klaus ranting about Jeremy's ability to annoy everyone.
'Long Time, Brother.' Kol spoke relinquishing on the past sentence he first spoke to his brother after Elijah took the dagger out of his heart
'Kol, what are you doing here?' Klaus asked both shocked and confused
'You wouldn't think I'd let you have all the fun, now would you?' Kol said walking towards the two
'Now, you couldn't let me have the honor of finding it; could you?' Klaus asked as he turned his attention off of Jeremy to Kol
'You and I both know, you want if for Elena' Kol said as his hands find their way to his jean pockets, 'I'm just here to make sure that the cure actually makes it way to Elena.'
Klaus rolled his eyes at Kol's words; his sentence formed on the tip of his tongue; but he had surprisingly nothing to add. He knew no matter how much he protested to his sibling, he would lose; Kol would eventually win unless like the last time; they were together, he had a compelled human there to distract him and sadly Jeremy wasn't an option. Against his will, Kol had joined the two men on their journey to find the cure.
Jeremy was less than fond of the idea, that he had two original vampires at his side all the time. One wrong more or turn and he could be gone, Yeah, he's managed to kill 20 vampires in one night; but they were nothing compared to the two standing next to him. It would take him years or millenniums to rank up to the same speed and agility that Klaus and Kol had on him. So, he set aside his anger that he had against them and remember the reason he was doing this was for Elena. Elena. Elena the one who was screwing the Original Vampire, the one, who started all his problems in the first place; the one who started dating vampires in the start.
Jeremy's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Klaus and Kol bickering about the time they were wasting walking, when they should have been using their vampire speed. Jeremy was stuck listening to the brother's banter back and forth for hours, it was the one time in his life that he'd wish no he could hear Elena, Bonnie and Caroline in the living room argue about which guy they liked.
The two vampires followed by the human walked for hours more, most likely more hours to come in the future but kept at the same pace and would eventually ask Jeremy for directions when they would doubt one another, Jeremy of course obeyed so the attention would be drifted off of him and back to the two
~A Little whiles into the future~
It had taken nearly a year for Jeremy's mark to grow to its full length, a year of waiting and pain. Kol wanted to find the cure for Elena but it seemed like it was taking forever. Every fight with the Salvatores' over the phone or his brother only cost them more days. Today was the day he'd been waiting for, they were getting closer by Jeremy's calculations they had just about two days left until they found the cure.
The three were anxious, getting closer and closer to the cure, day by day. They walked and searched growing weary that they would not find it. One night while they were at camp, Klaus had finally asked something he'd been itching to ask since they left Mystic Falls.
'The cure, will you really take it or is it just something you said to get in Elena's pants?' Klaus asked playing with a stick that was in the fire
Getting no response from Kol, he smiled and continued speaking; 'Are you in love with the doppleganger?'
'Brother, this is not the time for stories.' Kol said as he walked away
'Oh, but this is not a story is it? Elena Gilbert, who held the hearts of the Salvatore brothers in her palm for so long, now holds the baddest vampire's heart in her palm. I think I deserve a bit of truth her, Kol.' Klaus said following Kol into the woods
'Klaus, drop it.' Kol said annoyed
'I'm curious, you're my baby brother; doesn't that mean that I get some insight on what you're up too.' Klaus said as he smiled
'Why does Elena and mine relationship bother you so much?' Kol finally asked appearing in his brother's face quicker than he could blink
'I hope you know better, than to know whether or not; you're under the Petrova spell.' Klaus spoke confusingly 'because if you are you're doing allot for this girl. Just ask the Salvatore brothers.'
Kol backed Klaus up into a tree roughly, hand gripping his throat; it would be blocking the air on most human beings. Klaus just smiled at his younger brother while Kol's eyes filled with anger.
'This is not some dumb ass spell or whatever else you want to call it!' Kol shouted in his brothers face 'You staked me for a thousand years, don't make me lock you in a coffin for the rest.'
Klaus chuckled and removed Kol's hand from his throat, 'Don't over react brother, after all when you become human it should be you fearing me, not the other way around.'
Kol watched in silence as Klaus walked away, he was right; if he did become human, there were also faults that came with that. He would no longer me known as the most feared vampire in the world; he'd be known as Kol. Just kol. If he was being honest to himself; he wasn't that scary or bad as a human, his vampire form made him who he is wasn't quite sure now if he was ready to give up being a vampire for a girl.
For the first time in Kol's long life, he was afraid. Afraid of what he would be after taking the cure would take place. He wanted this for Elena, he wanted to give him everything that she wanted; that she dreamed up; but he never realized until now that it would come with a huge consequence.
Kol had wandered away from his brother and Jeremy so far that he had lost track of where he was, he was finally satisfied with the amount of distance between the two; he pulled out his cell phone and dialed a number he'd never saw himself dialing.
The cell phone rang causing Kol more agony, the one person he decided to call was being ignorant and not answering as quickly as he liked. Finally, the phone line clicked and multiple people's voices could be heard on the end along with a grunt of a man and the phone being pressed to his ear.
'Kol.' The man said as he breathed out deeply
'Elijah, have a few minutes to talk?' Kol asked less then pleased the sentence that came out of his mouth
'Yes.' Elijah spoke firmly over the phone
'I'm not too sure, if I want to take the cure now.' Kol said sitting on a rock near him
'First answer this, why are you doing it? For you or for Elena?' Elijah asked seriously to his younger brother
There was a stern silence over the phone line as Kol questioned himself; it seemed like years for Kol while Elijah sat taking in the silence of his brother.
'Kol, if it takes you this long to come up the answer; it may not be worth it.' Elijah finally spoke breaking the silence
'No, Elijah; I want it. I think.' Kol said quickly and louder than he anticipated
'Kol, is this cure strictly for you or is it for Elena?' Elijah asked
Kol once again took in the question from his wise brother, he wanted to say it was for Elena but that wasn't truly right. Unlike Klaus; he jumped at the idea of being a human if you asked him 10 years ago; when he was running loose around Europe and a scientist claimed that he had mixed up a formula to cure Vampirism. He damn near jumped at the idea; it was like a light bulb had turned on in the darkness that surrounded him.
When the scientist was finished with his project, Kol was stuck with tons of needles and no results happened, nothing; the scientist had failed. They were both upset and Kol killed him; it didn't even take a second look; he killed him quicker that he'd liked to. He wanted him to suffer but it happened so quickly.
'I wanted it once before and I think that I want it again.' Kol said surprising even himself
'There you go, Kol. That's your answer, just remember this: 'Everybody doubts themselves at least once in life but that's how we learn for ourselves what the future holds.' Elijah said
'Thanks.' Kol said 'Owe you one.'
'No problem.' Elijah said as he hung up
Kol soaked in the words that Elijah had spoken to him, trying to take them to hurt and understand the exact meaning of them each, word by word. Putting his cell phone back into his pocket, he got up to walk away and was stopped In his tracks when Elena's ringtone rang.
'Elena.' Kol said over the phone
'Kol, how are you?' Elena asked her voice low and soft
'I'm good and you, darling?' Kol asked his voice lower
Elena released a deep sigh before speaking, 'I miss you, Kol.'
'I know we are getting closer; we have a few more days; I promise.' Kol said as he unconsciously smiled
Elena took in the sweetness that came along with his voice, she wanted to pour her heart out to him, tell him that she didn't want the cure if it meant she had to be away from him for so long. Kol was probably hiding and holding in his feelings towards Elena, he wanted to be with her; he wanted to hold her one last time, fall asleep next to her but his statue told another story. He acted as if nothing was wrong with him.
Their conversation lasted nearly an hour of them talking about what they had been missing and what they were doing; Elena's last words to Kol for the night were 'I want you to come home.' Before she quietly fell fast asleep with the phone still pressed against her cheek. Kol quietly said Good night and hung up, heading back for camp.
The next morning, Kol woke to the sound of rustling at the camp site and was in shock, when Jeremy was scavenging through the camp food like a bear trying to catch a fish.
'Do you have to keep up with that loud noise?' Kol asked rubbing his head but not sitting up
'I'm trying to find something to eat.' Jeremy said in a muffled tone
'Well, you're the only one who eats; so if it's all gone then it's your fault.' Kol said as he finally sat up to see Jeremy
Jeremy grabbed whatever he could get his hands on and they all three set off once again in sight to find the cure. Their days were starting to get reparative wake up, eat; walk into the sunrise. It had become a set of skill with the three; they each had a schedule to follow: go to bed at this time, wake up at this time; walk off half asleep, and last but not least don't piss off Klaus.
Jeremy was finally happy to say that they had at least an hour of walking to until they were even remotely close to the cure. Impatiently, Klaus grabbed Jeremy's arm and speed off in the direction Jeremy said was correct. Kol smirked at the sudden coldness that overcame his body and quickly sped after the two.
Jeremy spent the next 10 minutes reading his map and all three people were in total and utter shock at the sight that laid before them. Nearly, two hundred men were in the middle of nowhere digging and excavating before them. Jeremy tried walking right up towards them but was stopped when Klaus grabbed the back of his collar and yanked him back towards the two.
'Relax, Vampire killer.' Klaus said as he along Kol and Jeremy ducked behind a bush
'Anymore brilliant ideas, Jeremy?' Kol asked slightly annoyed
'We could throw 'em him.' Klaus said referring to Jeremy
'What?' Jeremy asked confused and shocked
Jeremy staggered to the group of men with blood trickling down his t-shirt and staining his neck, he stumbled towards a group of small men then fell to his knees as he tried speaking but failed. The men's eyes drifted from their work to the man in front of them.
'Boss!' a few men shouted in another direction
A front door slammed open and a man with black with slight gray hair exited the work trailer and strolled towards Jeremy.
'Now, what do we have here?' The man said examining Jeremy
'He's got vampire marks, boss.' Another man said
'Yes, I see that he does. What should we do about that?' The man asked
The group packed closer together to Jeremy and discussed options of what they would do with him.
'Kill him!' one shouted 'Bury him alive.' Another said
