Grief and Mourning:

Klaus ran a hand through his hair, nervously. It's been a few days since they left the house and he was worried, for the first time he was truly worried. Elizabeth just sat in Kol's room. She didn't speak much, she wouldn't eat or sleep. She was already looking sicker, by the day. He came in and sat on the chair near the bed, as Elizabeth just sat on the bed in Kol's shirt looking at the pillows. He could clearly see her engagement ring and his pendant hanging on her neck. She wouldn't let that leave her sight. It was like she needed it on her for some reason. "Love, you need to eat something."

"I'm not hungry." She sighed look down.

"It doesn't matter you need to eat. If you don't you'll get sick, worst than you already are." He told her as she brushed her hair back. She looked down. "Elizabeth, he wouldn't want this for you, you know that."

She looked at him sharply. "We wouldn't know what he'd want, he's dead remember? Because of stupid Elena and her search for the cure. Because of her she's gone!" She snapped, her voice breaking. She took a deep breath and looked down at the blankets. He took her hand in his, noticing it was shaking, "I-I'm sorry I snapped."

"Shh, it's okay." He gently rubbed her hand with his thumb in an effort to try and comfort her. He knew that she just needed a moment to get that out. It probably wouldn't be the last outburst. He just wished that there was something he could do. He hated seeing her in pain like this.

She wiped her tears away as she leaned her head on his shoulders, as he slowly tried to calm her down. "I'm sorry. It's not you. I'm just angry, and I miss him. He didn't deserve this." She shook her head. He was just trying to keep them all safe and now he was gone.

"I know he didn't, sweetheart." He agreed brushing her hair back slightly going. "He didn't, but he wouldn't want to see you like this either, You know if Kol was here, he'd have kicked you out of bed by now." He was surprised when he noticed he managed a watery chuckle from him.

"Y-yeah he would." She nodded.

"Then he wouldn't want you like this. At least come downstairs for some food and then you can go back to the room, I promise." He told her. She seemed to consider this. She felt closer to Kol in here, but she knew that he was also right. Kol wouldn't want this for her. She nodded, reluctantly and he breathed a sigh of relief as he helped her up.

He kept a grip around her waist as he brought her into the kitchen, hoping that she wouldn't fall. He could see how shaky she still was. He sat her down on a chair near the table, making sure he could keep an eye on her. "What would you like to eat, love?" He asked her, brushing her hair back slightly. "I'll make you anything."

"Doesn't matter." She sighed. All she wanted to do was go back to Kol's room. Even if she couldn't sleep because of the nightmares, she'd feel better being closer to his spirit. He sighed, before picking her up and putting her on the counter. "What are you doing?" She asked surprised.

"We're cooking." He took out eggs, a bowl and a whisk, handing it to her. He needed her to do something. It would drive her crazy if all she thought about was Kol's death and he wasn't going to lose her as well. "Crack those eggs in the bowl and whisk them." She hesitated before obliging.

She eventually started watching what he was doing. He was surprisingly well versed in the art of cooking. She watched as he easily made a quiche with pancakes, with her doing some small menial tasks to help him with the ingredients, but it made him happy to see she was at least being productive in something. "Thank you for your help, love." He smiled at her, and she returned it, not reaching her eyes.

He brought the plates over to the table, sitting her next to him. She picked at her food, moving it around the plate. "Please, just a few bites." He asked her, touching her hand. She hesitated before taking a small bite out of the egg dish.

"It's good." She admitted trying to reassure him. He smiled at her before eating a little of his, as he made sure she ate more. He was happy that she ate almost half the plate by the time he was done. "Thank you." She told him quietly. "You didn't...you didn't have to let me stay so thanks."

He smiled weakly at her. "You're family, of course I did, besides I owe Kol that much." She looked down at his name. It just reminded her that he was no longer there with her. He sighed brushing her hair back. He only wished that he could somehow make it easier on her.

"I'm...I'm still kind of tired. I think I'm going to go back upstairs to his...to the room. Thank you again, Klaus." She muttered standing up. He gave her a smile as she walked out, wrapping her arms around herself, as though she was trying to keep from breaking down. He listened as she climbed the stairs going to his room. He knew even if there was silence, she was silently crying, no matter how much she tried to contain it. He needed to do something to help her and fast.

Elizabeth screamed seeing Kol's body on fire again. She ran to him trying to put it out but she was just making it worst. This couldn't be happening again, she had to save him. Why wasn't this working? Tears streamed down her face as she pleaded for him to stay with her. "Elizabeth!" She woke up gasping for air as Klaus pulled her close. It was another nightmare. The third one since that night. She hoped it would just pass, but like the others it didn't and It was almost 5 in the morning. "Elizabeth, look at me. You're safe. You're okay." Klaus promised her as he rubbed her shaking arms.

She let him pull her into his arms, as she cried into his shoulders. "I-It was him again. H-He was on fire. I couldn't s-save him. It's my fault. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, please, I'm sorry." She cried as he tried to calm her down.

"Shh, you're okay. You didn't do anything wrong. You know that. It wasn't you, it never was. You're safe." He kissed her head. She buried her face in his chest, trying to stop shaking. He kept a tight grip on her."Deep breaths. Everything will be okay."

"I should've kept him home. I-I should've saved him. He would've s-saved me." Klaus rubbed her back gently, trying to calm her down, but she was too upset. He knew that this would be coming. She always felt that she was responsible, but when the truth was she wasn't. She just wanted Kol back with her.

He sighed. "Hey, you know that's not true. You had no idea what was going to happen. You know that he wouldn't want you to blame yourself either. He loved you, Elizabeth, he loved you more than anything and he wouldn't want you to starve yourself or loss sleep. You're barely living, and he wouldn't want that." She nodded, listening to him. He picked her up bringing her out of the room. "And you're not getting any rest here."

"W-where are we going?" She asked him as she kept still. She was still shaking, but Klaus kept a tight grip on her so she wouldn't fall.

"My room. There are too many memories of him in there." He brought her into his room. She was tense as he sat her on the bed. She looked up seeing letter, framed above his bed, but she was tired and wasn't in the mood to question it. "I'll um, I'll sleep in the chair." He told her as he pulled it up to the bed.

She hesitated before getting into the bed. "You d-didn't have to do this, Klaus. Thank you." She told him as she laid down and pulled the blankets over her. He smiled as he brushed her hair back.

"It's better if you actually get some sleep." He told her seriously.

She didn't like how empty the bed was. That was one of the reason's she couldn't sleep in Kol's bed. It was like he was there, but he wasn't. She felt cold, not like when he held her when she slept. "W-will you sleep next to me?" She asked awkwardly. He looked surprised by her request. He didn't think she'd want to be that close to him. "I-I just...I-I'd feel better."

He smiled weakly. "Of course, sweetheart. Whatever you want.' He got in on the other side of the bed, opposite her. He settled against the pillows as he watched her lay down. She nervously played with the ends of the sheets, staring off into the distance. "It will be okay, Elizabeth. I promise you that."

"I just miss him...I miss him so much, Klaus. It's like...he's gone and a part of me left with him." She admitted softly. She never loved anyone like she did Kol. He was the one who got her through things she didn't think that she could and now he was gone too. She was just grateful that Klaus was there for her.

"I know you do, love. As do I." She looked up at him surprised. He gave her a small smile. "He may have been a pain but...he was still my little brother." It was true. They may have fought and argued but he'd do anything for him, just like he knew Kol would've done the same for him.

"He did love you, all. I think...he just missed being a real family with all of you. He was upset that not even Elijah would be near you guys. He just wanted a family again." She sighed. Klaus nodded, not trusting himself to speak just yet. He wished that in his last moment of living, his brother didn't think he was the cause of his demise.

Beth rested her head on his chest, to his surprise, but he pulled her closer and pulled the blanket around her. She slowly relaxed in his arms, closing her eyes, hoping she wouldn't see her nightmare again. They both felt alone and needed to know that they weren't, not completely. After everything, they still had each other for now.
