Chapter 38:
"Lucy I still have no idea what you are talking about…" Klaus said after a few minutes of silence.
"Don't even try it Klaus; I made the mistake of trusting you once and believe whatever you said but I know you did this and I want you to tell me why." I said getting frustrated with Klaus lying to me.
"I really don't know what you are talking about but I can see whatever it is busy upsetting you and I'm sorry for that Lucy; I don't like you being upset." Klaus said sounding so sincere but I was so worked up already that I barely listened to what he was saying.
"Lee… I am talking about Lee…. I know you did this just tell me." I said pleading with the man, who I once loved more than anything, sitting in-front of me.
"I had a good reason." Klaus replied not meeting my eyes.
"What reason could possibly justify what you did… no… what you convinced me to do." I replied angrily.
"What does it matter now; it's done." Klaus said closing up again.
"It's not done though I have to undo the spell." I said.
"You can't." Klaus said almost pleading with me, he looked up to meet my eyes as he spoke and I saw so much pain in the that I almost got up to comfort him.
"I have to regardless of why you did it this spell will end up killing Tyler and Caroline if I don't remove it; I will be doing the reversal spell tomorrow." I said getting up and making my way to the front door to leave. I had said what I wanted and could no longer be in this room or this house with him anymore.
"I did it for her you know and I never used you." Klaus said as I walked away.
"Lexi I brought Lee back for her." Klaus said getting up and walking over to me.
"You brought Lee but…. I brought Lee back for Lexi…. Because you care about her."
"She loves Lee and I wanted her to be with the man she really wanted more than anyone else."
"You are such an idiot… Kol is inlove with Lexi and she definitely feels something for him; Do you have any idea what you have done…. You had no right to do this." I said leaving the house and walking to my car without looking behind myself.
"Lexi wait?" I heard a male voice say behind me. As I turn I see a miserable looking Kol standing in-front of me.
"Kol I am not really in the mood anymore; I came to say what I needed and now I want to leave." I said getting into my car.
"I heard what you and Klaus were talking about…Is it true?" Kol asked so pained.
"I think that you should talk to your brother Kol; I don't want to get involved." I replied.
"Lucy please I need to know." Kol pleaded with me.
"Yes it's true Klaus tricked me into casting a spell that is going to kill two innocent people just because he thought I was doing the right thing but as it turns out he made the decision for everyone including you and Lexi and whatever relationship you two could have had together…" I said feeling as if I wanted to burst into tears.
"You didn't know what you were doing." Kol said before uncertain step forward and opening up his arms indicating that if I wanted to give him a hug, I could.
I closed the gap between us and felt his arms wrap around me in almost a brother protective way.
"I'm so sorry that I did this Kol I really didn't know…" I stammered as I started to cry.
"Don't worry Lucy you didn't know and I am very angry at my brother for using the love you felt for to manipulate you into performing this terrible spell." Kol said stroking my head in comforting manner trying to calm me down.
"Please drive me home Kol; I won't be able to drive in my state." I said after a few minutes when I slowly started calming down.
"Of course I was just to offer to take you home." Kol said opening the door to me so that we could go home.
"Thank you." I said as Kol closed the car door for me.
"You are welcome." Kol said as he climbed into the drivers seat of my car.
"Are you alright?" I asked we drove out of the Michealson's estate.
"Shouldn't I be asking you the same question?" Kol asked as we stopped the car at the exit.
"Where do you want me to take you?" He asked turning to me.
"Take me to Stefan's house please; I have nowhere else to go." I said laying back in my seat and closing my eyes.
"You have grown rather fond of Stefan haven't you?" Kol asked as we drove.
"He has been very kind to me regardless of what has happened or what I have done." I replied before getting lost in my thoughts.
"You should forgive yourself." Kol said after a long time of driving.
"I'm not following." I replied turning my attention to Kol.
"You have to forgive yourself for the spell you cast." Kol said making a left turn.
"That's a difficult thing to do when you know that you have caused so much pain for people who really didn't deserve it."
"You did it for my brother and you didn't know what the spell would do." Kol said as we turned into the Salvatore's driveway.
"I should have asked…" I said as Kol parked my car.
"You made the mistake of falling in love with my brother... Love isn't something you can control it just happens." Kol said I looked and saw him looking at Lexi who was standing on the porch.
"You know you shouldn't walk away from someone who makes you feel that way." I said opening my car door and climbing out. Kol was instantly by my door holding it open for me.
"Always the gentleman, thank you."
"You are one of few people left who actually think that about me." Kol said walking to the front door with me.
"You are a decent person Kol and you have been so wonderful to me regardless of everything that I have done to affect your relationship with Lexi… I am truly so sorry I have caused you pain it was never my intention to cause anyone harm." I said sincerely and was caught off guard when Kol pulled me in for a hug.
"You are forgiven Lucy now please forgive yourself besides I think that there is someone else who you would rather be hugging right now." Kol giving me a squeeze before letting go of me just as the front door open and Stefan stood in the doorway looking at me. Without saying a word, I threw my arms around in him.
"What happened?" Stefan asked, I wasn't looking at him so I had no idea who he was talking to.
"You had an emotional conversation with my brother; I think you should take her to her room she could use a nap." Kol said before turning on his heal.
"Kol don't give up on her; she does love you." I said to Kol before being led inside and up to my room by Stefan.
"Thank you…" I started saying before I got picked by Stefan and was carefully set down on the bed.
"Are you comfortable?" He asked as he sat down on the bed next to me.
"Yes thank you for helping me." I replied lying my head down on the pillow.
"You are welcome; I am sorry that your trip didn't have the outcome you had hoped for." Stefan said trying to comfort me.
"Thank you I appreciate it; I went to speak to Klaus to find out why he made me cast the spell even when he knew that it would have the effects on Tyler and Caroline that it is having…" I said rolling onto my side to look at Stefan as I spoke.
"What did he have to say about that?" Stefan asked encouragingly.
"He said that he knew it would have the terrible effect on them that it is currently having and he convinced me to cast it regardless." I admitted feeling betrayed.
"I am sorry that he has hurt you so much." Stefan said honestly.
"You really mean that don't you?" I asked taking Stefan's hand in mine.
"Of course I do; You aren't a bad person Lucy." Stefan said sincerely while taking my hand and giving it a squeeze.
"Thank you for being so kind to me; you should get back to your friends they are going to start wondering where you are." I said smiling at him before letting go of his hand and rolling onto my other side so that I was no longer facing him.
"Of course Lucy you have had a hard day; I'll let you rest." Stefan said before leaving my room and closing the door behind leaving me to sleep in the dark room.
Stefan's' P.O.V
"There you are I was looking for you." Lexi said as I reached the bottom of the staircase.
"I took Lucy to her room she was very upset so I tried to comfort her. "Stefan said walking passed me and into the living room where everyone was sitting and talking about would be the next step.
