Hello Again, Lover:

Beth, Matt and Elena got Alaric to the hospital. Even though he was alive, he steal needed time to completely heal. They couldn't get Damon or Stefan over there, so he'd have to stay overnight in the hospital where Beth would stay with him too. She was beside his bed. "How are you feeling? Did they give you anything for the pain?" She asked worried.

"Yeah, I'll be fine, sweetie." Alaric assured her as he squeezed her hand, lightly. She just smiled at him. She was happy that he was recovering quickly and knew he'd be okay, but she didn't want to leave him just yet. "You should get back home though. You've been here for almost three hours and haven't eaten yet."

"No way. I'll stay here tonight and I'm not really hungry." She insisted, but her stomach grumbled, saying differently. He smiled and have her a look and she sighed. "Okay, just a little, but I'll be fine."

"Beth." He told her seriously. "Go. Go feed Day and get some sleep and I'll see you tomorrow. I know how you hate hospitals." He reminded her. Alaric knew better than anyone hospitals didn't hold great memories for her, especially since her mom was constantly in one. He had her there.

"All right. Just rest, ok? I'll be back tomorrow." She promised standing up.

"I will and you too. And Beth?" He asked before she left his room and she looked back at him. "Be safe, tonight." He told her, hopefully and she smiled and nodded, before leaving his bedroom. She walked out of the hospital. It had gotten cooler since earlier. It made sense because it was past midnight now. She decided to go to the grill and get something to eat before walking back home.

Beth's phone rang as she stood up from the booth. "Hello?"

"Thank God. I heard what happened. Are you okay? How's Ric? Are you hurt?" Damon asked her quickly over the phone. Beth was surprised about how worried he was about her, since they were about to rip each other's throats out over the phone, earlier."El! Are you guys safe?"

"Yeah, I'm fine and Ric's fine. We're okay. Thanks. I was just leaving the hospital." She informed him as she stopped from walking out of the grill. "I'll be on my way home soon."

"Do you want a ride? I can come pick you up, if you want?" He offered quickly.

"No, I'll be fine."

"El..."

"I'm fine, Damon. Seriously, don't worry about it. I'll be fine. I just want to get home and get some rest. I'll talk to you later." She assured him before he could argue with her, she hung up the phone.

Beth walked over to the exit door of the grill. As she opened the door she bumped into someone. "Oh, I'm sorry." She apologized as she looked up into the stranger's face. He looked familiar, as though she had seen him in a dream. He had dark brown hair and deep dark eyes. He was really handsome, she had to admit that. His expression was one of shock mixed with happiness, it seemed like he knew her too. "You..."

"It's me, Elizabeth." He told her looking into her eyes. His voice thick with a English accent. As soon as he saw her in the window, he wanted nothing more than to run inside and hold her. Beth shook her head. It was strange that he knew he name, but she didn't remember him.

"I'm sorry, you look familiar, but I...I don't know you." She told him apologetically as she took a step back. She thought he might have been in her dream, but after a while she forgets her dreams and visions. They sometimes fade away. His surprise expression turned to disappointed as she began to walk away. He stopped her though, he couldn't let her leave.

"Wait!" He said quickly grabbing her hand. As soon as his hand touched hers, she felt something between them. She suddenly saw an scene flash before her eyes. It was the stranger smiling at her, he seemed happier than he was now. They were lying in a bed. He was gently stroking her hair back, which was soothing to her. She felt safe, like there wasn't any other place she'd rather be. He looked on at her lovingly as he leaned over to kiss her head. "Go back to sleep, love." He murmured against her forehead.

Beth snapped out of the vision, almost tripping, but instead fell into the stranger. He caught her around her waist, before she could hit the pavement. His arms were firmly locked on her body to keep her steady. "Kol?" She asked softly. A look of relief came over Kol's face, as she spoke his name. But he could see that he was still foreign to her. She took a step back and reluctantly released her. He was still as surprised as she was that he was alive. He wanted to say something, but nothing would come out. Beth was just as confused. "Uh, h-how did you...where did...how are you here?" She stuttered out.

"I was wondering the same thing about you." He told her. A hint of a smile appeared on his lips.

"Uh, it's a long story." She informed him.

"As is mine, love." Kol replied and she laughed lightly at that. Kol had full-blown smile on his face, a true, genuine smile that had been foreign to him for over a century. It had been too long since he had heard her laugh like that, even if she was confused. "Would...would you like to take a walk with me?" He asked her, cautiously. He didn't want to leave just yet, not when he just saw her for the first time in years.

Beth hesitated. It was late and she probably shouldn't be out with someone she practically just met, but something was telling her that she could trust him. She nodded. "Yeah, I'd like that." She smiled at him, making his heart jump for joy at her words.

Kol walked besides Beth, wanting to just hold her in his arms, but he resisted the urge. He didn't want to scare her off, especially since she didn't remember much about him. As soon as he was undaggered, he wanted nothing more than to kill Klaus, but as soon as Elijah told him about his Elizabeth, he just wanted to find her. Even if she didn't remember him, he needed to see that she was alive with his own eyes. He explained to her all about how Elijah woke him up and that his mother was alive and they were going to be peaceful with the town. "So how did you find me?" She asked curiously.

"I've always been able to find you. It's a talent that I've had." He smirked at her and she blushed.

"So, Elijah undaggered all of your siblings?" She asked him as they walked.

"That he did." He confirmed with a nod. She looked down, biting her lip. Kol smiled at the worried look on her face and how she fiddled with her hands. "Don't worry, love. We plan on staying for a while. You don't have to worry about us massacring the town or your friends."

"How did you know...?" She asked him confused.

"Your hands, darling. You always played with them when you're worried about something." He smirked at her and she blushed and stopped when she realized what she was doing. She had a small smile on her face, that he remembered though. "So I heard you slapped my brother today." Beth blushed even more, and to her surprise Kol just laughed. "That's bloody brilliant."

"I lost my temper." She explained sheepishly, looking down at the ground, as she kicked a rock. Kol just chuckled at her. "I didn't mean to lose it on him, but I was just angry and frustrated, and I just snapped."

"Well, you had a right, love. Elijah should have never compelled you, he had no right to do that. He had it coming to him." Kol agreed. Beth looked at him surprised. "I just wish I had been there to see it. It's not everyday someone is brave enough to slap an original, especially noble Elijah." He said teasingly, but she could still hear the sarcasm in his voice.

Beth laughed lightly and Kol's grin grew even more. He really had missed the melodious sound of her laughter. "Not so much brave as stupid. I did it on impulse." She reasoned. "Is he angry? When I left he just seemed kind of shocked."

"Well, he knows he deserves it. He's not angry, just still surprised of the whack you gave him." He chuckled. "Don't worry about, Elijah." He could see she was still worried. "Would you like to get some ice cream, love?"

Beth smiled at that. It must be really different from before he was daggered. "Where are we supposed to get ice cream in the middle of winter? Besides how do you know about ice cream?" She asked as she felt a slight chill go up her spine. Kol noticed her shivering and took off his coat and put it over her shoulders. "I guess chivalry's not so dead, after all." She was surprised at the thoughtful gesture, but he was speaking before she could thank him.

"Not when it comes to you." Beth blushed. "And ice cream was around before I was daggered, darling." He told her amused. "Aren't there grocery markets nowadays?" He asked confused and she smiled at him.

"Yeah, I suppose there are." Beth confirmed. She hesitated though, walking around at night with someone, she technically just met, usually wasn't a good idea, but she felt she could trust him. There was something telling her she could trust him. "But, it is kind of late and I should be getting back home."

"Take a risk, love." He encouraged her. Kol didn't want to leave her yet, not after just seeing her. He'd stay with her all night if he could, but he wasn't going to push her. "I won't let anything happen to you." He promised her seriously.

She could see that he meant it. He wanted to do anything he could to keep her safe. Beth smiled at him and nodded. "All right, let's go." She agreed as she looped her arm through his. Kol smiled, feeling her so close to him again and followed as she led him away.

"I'm amazed they have stores that stay open all night." Kol said surprised and Beth couldn't help, but laugh. As they went through the aisle at the drug store, Kol was fascinated by what they had. She had to practically drag him out of the store. They now were walking around town square towards a bench. "And the doors opening by themselves! The innovation of the world never ceases to surprise me."

Beth smiled at him as they sat down. "It must be a real change for you, having been daggered for over a century and then everything changing for you."

Kol just shrugged. "I imagined some things must have changed, but it's nice to know that some things stayed just as you like them." He grinned at her. Beth blushed understanding his double meaning.

Beth heard a song playing She sighed knowing her phone was ringing. She checked it, it was still Damon calling. She pressed ignored. The last thing she needed was Damon yelling to her about being with another Original. "What the bloody hell is that thing?" Kol asked her confused as she went to pocket her phone. "And did it just play music?"

Beth laughed. "It's a cell phone. You use it to call or send a message to someone and that was a ring tone. It tells you when someone is trying to call you."

"Where's the cord?"

"There isn't one." She told him. Kol looked shocked and Beth let out a giggle. "It's portable. You can take it with you anywhere." She handed it to him to let him look at it. He turned it upside down and backwards, looking at it all ways.

"There isn't a cord? And you can just call someone?"

Beth nodded. He handed back her phone, there fingers brushing over each other, sending a wave of electricity through her. "Amazing." He muttered as he dropped his hand. Kol reached into the bag and took out the small tub of ice cream. "I'm going to have to get one of those tomorrow."

He handed her a spoon. She smiled seeing he got her, her favorite ice cream. "How did you know I liked chocolate?" She asked and he just shrugged.

"Everyone likes chocolate." He said simply. Kol brought out another bag of marshmallows and topped the ice cream with them. She looked at him surprised. "But not everyone likes these. You were strange before." He teased her as they stood up to keep walking. Beth gasped and nudged, tossing a marshmallow at his face. "Only a little, lover. I was stranger." He defended himself as she took a bite of the ice cream. Beth blushed at the pet name.

"I was not weird. I was...unique." She corrected him, making him chuckle. "But you? You're definitely weird. Kol pretended to be wounded by her insult and just nudged her again, making her laugh. "I like weird though." She admitted and Kol was in shock. That didn't happen often, especially to him, but with Elizabeth, she always kept him surprised. He gave her a small smile, that made her smile and she looped her arm through his and kept walking. "Lover...that's an interesting pet name."

"It's not just a pet name, love. It was true." He grinned at her. Beth blushed.

"Is that so?"

Kol leaned in close to her. "Absolutely." He confirmed. Beth stared into his eyes, before dropping her gaze from his.

"That kind of makes it sound like we were doing something...wrong." She admitted and Kol just chuckled at her and gently pushed back a piece of hair from her face.

"Believe me, love, it was most definitely not wrong." He assured her.

"Well, there probably isn't a lot that's wrong to you." She teased him with a smile.

Kol thought about it for a minute and then nodded. "That's true." Beth nodded in agreement, but he grabbed her hand before she could walk too far away. "But, that may be true, but it's completely false when it came to us." He said reassuringly. If there was anything that he knew was completely right was them together.

Beth was surprised, as he dropped his hand and she went. "So, before everything we were...we were okay?" She asked him.

He chuckled. "Trust me, love. We were very much more than okay before well...what happened, happened." He said somberly. Neither of them had to say what happened, he knew his brother's would have taken care in telling her everything, especially his greatest mistake.

"And after that we were anymore."

"No, no, we weren't." He said coldly, "But I'm sure one of my brothers already were kind enough to tell you why."

"Actually they both gave me bits and pieces of the story, but Rebekah was the one who really shed some light on my past." She informed him. Kol sighed and looked down, knowing Rebekah, he knew it couldn't be good. "She really didn't hold back and she surprisingly...defended you."

Kol looked up at her in surprise. "She did?"

"Yeah, she called you an idiot, of course, but she came to your defense. Was she wrong to?" Beth asked him.

"I was wrong to listen to my brother, but the mistake was my choice. I should never have done that in the first place." He admitted to her, sadly. That one mistake cost him the best thing that he ever had and now he might have second chance at it.

Beth nodded. "That's similar to what she told me." She was silent for a moment before speaking up again, "Can I trust you? I want to. I feel like I could, can I?"

Kol gently took her hand in his, making her feel that bolt of electricity again through her body. "I'd like to say you can." He told her truthfully.

She gave him a small smile. "That's good to know. I just don't want to put my trust in the wrong person." She admitted looking down.

Kol gave her a lopsided grin, that made her get butterflies, for some reason. "Again." He added.

She rolled her eyes at him, but smiled all the same. "Yeah, again." She agreed. Kol chuckled at her and looked down, before glancing back up at her again. He reached towards her and she froze as he wiped a bit of chocolate off her lips. "Um, thanks." She blushed. He grinned at her.

"Anytime, love."

Kol and Beth walked to her apartment building. She found herself telling him about her life, Alaric in the hospital, and everything that has happened in Mystic Falls. It was strange how easy it was to talk to him. It felt as she's known him for years, it might be because of Rebekah telling her about them and how he got daggered because he lost it after she died. She had been thinking of that for so long, she didn't even notice how time had flown by. They had been talking for hours and it was 3 in the morning. "Thank you, Kol, for tonight. I really needed that." She smiled at him, which he returned.

"Anything for you, Elizabeth." He told her, honestly. Beth went to walk inside when he stopped her. "Wait. My mother, she's insisting on having a ball tomorrow evening and it would be an honor if you would agree to accompany me." He asked with a hopeful grin.

Beth smiled at him. "I would love to." She replied truthfully.

Kol had a look of relief on his face as he leaned in and placed a small kiss on her cheek, making her blush and he pulled back, smiling sweetly at her. "Till tomorrow, then, Elizabeth." He disappeared leaving her smiling like an idiot. She touched the warm spot on her cheek where he kissed her, while she climbed the stairs to her apartment.
