"Now were you having trouble breathing Bekah?" Nik asked.
"No" she answered with a confused look on her face.
"I only asked because it looked like Kallum here was about to give you mouth to mouth resuscitation" he said pointing at Kallum.
"Oh I only… I was just… I didn't mean to" Kallum said stumbling over his words. "Oh god hes going to kill me he thought.
"I think it's time we go before we are late for our movie Kallum" said Rebekah while grabbing his hand and pushing Nik out of the way.
"I'll see you at home Bekah" called out Nik with a grin on his face. He had successfully managed to break them apart before things escalated.
… … … … …
"Nik, she is going to know where are following her now that you've stormed into the restaurant" said Kol with frustration in her voice.
"That was very impulsive Niklaus, but I don't expect different from you" said Elijah while rubbing his temple. His brothers always managed to give him headaches; well if he was human I'm sure he could feel them.
"Say what you want but Kallum had his filthy hands all over our sister" said Nik as if that would excuse his actions; "I regret nothing. I told her I fancied Italian for dinner, she doesn't suspect a thing." Well he hoped at least.
"Good. She mustn't find out we are following her" stated Elijah. If their sister were to find them it would not be good.
"Look they are halfway down the road" said Kol pointing to Kallum's car.
… … … … …
"I've said this before and I will say it again, our sister has the worst taste in movies" said Kol while munching on his popcorn.
"Quiet Kol or she'll hear us" said Elijah trying to quiet down his brother.
They were at the movie theater and managed to find three open seats a couple rows behind where Rebekah and Kallum had sat; the movie theater was packed to its full capacity, this must have been a popular movie thought Kol. Elijah was sitting in the middle of Kol and Nik. Nik was at his right and Kol at his left. They came into the movie late because Kol insisted on purchasing popcorn, nachos, some drinks, and an assortment of candy.
"I detest these so called 'chick flicks'" grunted Nik. He couldn't stand when Rebekah made him sit through them at home; he would rather be sleeping he thought.
"Want some?" Kol offered some of his popcorn.
"No thank you Kol" said Elijah.
Nik just shrugged his shoulders and grabbed the bag and started munching away.
"Kol, please do not eat all five pounds of candy I bought you in one sitting. You will be bouncing off the walls tonight and won't let me read in peace" said Elijah with annoyance in his voice.
"Sorry brother I wasn't paying attention, what did you say" he said with a handful of gummy worms in his mouth as well as hand.
"Nothing" said Elijah in utter defeat.
… … … … …
Halfway through the movie Nik noticed Kallum had put his hand over Rebekah's shoulder and she leaned closer to him.
"If he cherishes than arm he will remove it from Bekah's shoulders" said Nik. He wasn't going to let anyone hurt his sister. And he knew how men worked; they liked to take advantage of women, use them and abuse them, then just throw them away like trash and it always starts with a simple non-threatening touch.
"Nik he just has his arm around her shoulder, I'm sure if Rebekah wasn't comfortable with that she wouldn't let it happen" said Kol. His brother had some serious possession issues.
"Kol is right Niklaus, she's doesn't seem to be phased by it" said Elijah.
Nik just sat back in his seat with a huff.
… … … … …
When the movie was over everyone immediately stood up and started funneling themselves out of the room. Elijah had lost sight of his sister and Kallum.
"Niklaus do you see them" Elijah asked with a hint of worry in his voice.
"I don't" he said as he pushed his way through the crowd.
"Kol do you hear her" said Nik.
Kol listened in and tried to zero in on her heart beat but just couldn't distinguish it from the rest. "I can't hear her" said Kol as he knocked people to the ground to try and leave the theater quicker to go find his sister.
… … … … …
Nik pulled out his cell phone ready to dial his sister's number.
"What are you doing" asked Kol snatching the phone away.
"I'm going to call her Kol, she could be in danger" Nik said standing tall.
"Relax Nik. I'm sure she's safe. They are probably headed home as we speak. And you can't call her anyways she will definitely know we are following her" responded Kol.
"Kol is probably right. Why don't we go home and wait for her before she notices we followed her" said Elijah trying to maintain his composure.
They didn't want a repeat of what happened two years ago. Their sister wouldn't be able to handle it if she was taken again.
… … … … …
"Did you like the movie?" Rebekah asked. Knowing his answer was probably going to be "yes" just to please her.
"Yea, it was great" replied Kallum.
She gave him a sideways look.
"Okay, I didn't. It's just not my type of genre is all" he said in his defense.
"Alright, you can pick next time"
He bit his lip and smiled at her. "Is this implying you had a good time and want a second audience with me?"
"Maybe" she said coyly.
"It's still early" he said while wrapping his arms around her waist and pushing her closer to him "we can go back to my place, if you'd like?"
"Sure" she said tilting her head to the side, hoping Kallum would take the hint.
He was less than an inch away from kissing her but decided it was best to do this at his home without a crowd of people staring at them in the parking lot of the movie theater.
"As much as I want to do this now, I think its best we wait until we are in a more private setting" he said in her ear.
"Let's go, now" she commanded excitedly.
