Present—The Abattoir—Compound

"Ow, watch it!"

"I am watching it, Kol. It's difficult to miss a large gash on your forehead."Kalia rolled her eyes as Kol moved his head from her hands, flinching when she tried to dab at the deep gash on his forehead.

"I can feel it. Who has it worse?"

"Stop squirming, i'm trying to help."

"Just give me some of your blood, it'll heal me."Kol demanded, gesturing to her wrist.

"And what happens if you trip over and hit your head again or Finn kills you?"Kalia asked him, knowing his luck."You'll be stuck in that body, that's what."

"I try and be a gentleman by protecting the pretty girl and this is what I get?"Kol muttered, inhaling sharply when Kalia tried to stop the bleeding with the cloth."That is the last time I try to be nice. Nothing good came of it."

"It's not that bad."

"Not that bad?"Kol cried out, his eyes widening in horror. He sat up straight, ignoring the dizziness and pointed at the bloody gash his forehead."Look at my head! This isn't going to heal for weeks. I haven't had a scar in a thousand years!"

At his concern for his wound instead of Finn, something that only Kol could pull off, Kalia couldn't stop the smile that crawled onto her face. A smile that she hadn't given anyone but him. This smile reached her eyes and her blue orbs lit up, something else that hadn't happened since he had died. When she had lost Kol the light in her eyes had died. There had just been numbness in them but now that he was back, even in a different body, she felt that warmness inside of her again. A warmness in her chest that only Kol Mikaelson could cause along with the fluttering in her stomach. Her bright blue eyes were shining again and her smile had returned, a smile that she never wanted to lose again.

She never wanted to lose him again.

"Does my pain amuse you, love?"Kol arched an eyebrow, looking up at her."It's nice that someone is smiling. I've been dead for two years and you're laughing at my pain. I don't even get a thank you, just possible brain damage."

Kalia smiled down at him, pushing him back down onto the chair and he sat with a reluctant sigh. She inwardly smiled as he crossed his ankles and his arms over his chest with a glare. He was a powerful witch, she could feel the power, but he could no longer physically overpower her. She wouldn't heal him with her blood because she worried that Finn would return and harm him, locking Kol inside the human body. She also worried that he would harm himself and knowing Kol's impulsiveness it was very likely. He could no longer heal in a matter of seconds and his Original reputation as well as his power could no longer protect him.

She and the family would have to help keep him safe. Both from enemies and himself.

"What kind of thank you are you after?"Kalia leaned down a little, placing an icepack on the bump on his head to stop the dizziness."A card? Maybe a muffin basket?"

A Kol-smirk appeared on his face. Even though he was in a different body there were things that reminded her of him. The way he walked, the way he walked, the glint in his eyes and the smirk. They all belonged to Kol Mikaelson.

"I'm in a different body, darling, i'm not a moralist."

He chuckled at her growing smile, beckoning her further down with his fingers."I won't punish you. You won't be cheating, love."

"No, just creepy."

"You're a Mikaelson, sweet, what do you expect?"

Kalia arched an eyebrow when his fingers tangled in her long blonde hair as she leaned down again, his lips curving into a coquettish grin. His eyes flickered between her eyes and lips before he leaned up and claimed her mouth with his own. As soon as their lips met the two exhaled contently because they hadn't been together for so long and they felt a sort of relief at being able to connect in a way. Kalia's eyes fluttered shut as Kol's fingers combed through her hair, keeping her against him as he took control of the kiss. She clearly heard his heart speed up a little when she moaned into the kiss after he let go of her bottom lip. It soon got passionate as she felt his wet tongue meet her bottom lip after he sat up, his free hand settling on her waist, pulling her downwards.

Kol wanted more.

And she was more than happy happy to fulfil his wants because she needed him.

Kalia eagerly parted her lips as Kol's tongue slithered along her bottom one but just before she could welcome him with her own tongue the sound of someone purposefully clearing their throat interrupted them.

"Are we interrupting something?"

The two pulled apart to see Rebekah and Klaus standing at the bottom of the stairs, both looking disgusted. Straightening, Kalia resisted the need to roll her eyes at Klaus' amused grin while Rebekah wore a sickly sweet but still repulsed expression at seeing her brother kissing her best friend.

Kol rolled his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest, his expression clear as if saying 'do you mind?'.

Rebekah scrunched up her nose, shaking her head."It was sweet but now it's just-"

"Indecorous?" Klaus offered his sister who nodded in agreement."I have the sudden urge to gouge out my eyes."

"I can help with that, Nik. Maybe then there would be some privacy."Kol sighed, leaning back in his chair, eyes settling on his siblings."Have you ever heard of knocking?"

"Have you ever heard of 'this is my home'?" Klaus countered, sauntering over to the two, hands held out."This is the entrance of my home, not a hotel room. There is no privacy. Don't forget that I have a daughter who does have sensitive hearing and her room is right next to yours, Kalia."

"Then we'll use your room, Nik. You don't mind switching, do you?"Kol smirked from his seat, biting his lip as his brother glared down at him."Speaking of switching, where is Elijah? I heard that you and our brother had a bit of tug of war concerning another woman. Hayley, was it?"

Oh the hell of brotherly bonding between these two. Can't they just say 'I missed you'?

Kalia held out her hand when Klaus glared at Kol and stepped forward. Rebekah moved in between them, shaking her head at Klaus.

"He's human, Nik. He's breakable."

"Yes, Nik."Kol smirked, folding his arms behind his head, leaning back. He was quiet for a moment before he looked up at his sister, offended."Hey! I'm not breakable...just a little slower."

"You're human now."Rebekah swatted at Kol, smirking when she managed to hit his bruised and wounded head."You need to keep your mouth zipped, Kol. Witch or not."

"Ow! I've been dead for two years and this is how you welcome me."Kol protested, shoving his sister to the side, gesturing for Kalia to tend to him."I'm in pain, love. Emotionally and physically."

"Did you complain this much when you were first human?" Kalia asked as she picked up the ice pack again, dabbing at the gash with another cloth.

"Yes." Both Klaus and Rebekah said.

"Where is Elijah?" Kalia asked, re-placing the ice pack back on Kol's head after stopping the bleeding again. Kol hissed at how cold it was but went silent when Kalia began to rub his shoulders.

"Tending to Hope. She was a bit...agitated with Finn and mother's visit." Rebekah answered for Klaus, knowing that her brother was still upset over the entire dinner."That's why we're down here."

"We need to all stay alert. Mother was Finn's world and now that she's gone he'll want us all to pay."Klaus said, crossing his arms over his chest."He might go after Hope. The wolves and vampires will guard her room but they can only do so much so we are all expected to help defend her. Kalia, your room is next to Hope's, you will check on her when you can with Rebekah. Kol you will help with spells to try and locate Finn."

"No problem. Protect the niece and keep my head, I get that."Kol nodded, wincing when he sat up too fact."But what about me? Mother made Finn more powerful than me and we all know our brother. He'll be out for blood."

"That depends on your answer."Klaus replied, his face showing just how serious he was."What was mother planning, Kol?"

"I don't know all of it, she didn't trust me like she did her sycophant son."Kol shrugged.

"What do you know then, brother?"

"Just that she wanted to turn you all human to make up for the thousand years of blood you've all shed."Kol responded, pausing before he gestured to the blonde leaning over him, checking his gash."Well, six hundred and a half years for Kalia but the same things applied. She also wanted to get rid of the little one, said she was too powerful to have around."

"That's it. I'm calling a meeting with the wolves and vampires tomorrow. The wolves we have in our home are too small an army."Klaus decided, taking out his mobile."I will call in the rest from the bayou later and tell Marcel to bring round his army."

"Nik, they'll kill eachother."

"Not until this war is over they won't. Until then, sister, they will agree to a truce whether they like it or not."

"'Bekah, you update Elijah on our plans,"Klaus said to Rebeka who just nodded and made her way upstairs as he turned to Kalia and Kol."You both go and find some spells that could help while I call Marcel.."

"Since when do I take orders from you?"

Klaus sent his brother an actual genuine smile as he put his mobile to his ear, chuckling back."Since you're breakable now, brother."

Mystic Falls—Three Years Ago

"No, Kol."

"Oh, don't be cruel, Nik. You daggered me-"

"And me!" Kalia cut in as Kol helped her out of the car, shutting the door behind them, ignoring Klaus' harsh glare.

"Yes, darling, I didn't forget you."Kol said with an avid grin before turning back to his brother, continuing.

"You daggered us, for over a hundred years, it's only fair that you purchase us a car. Sure, compulsion could work but since you are so willing to make it up to us it's only fair that you buy it."

"Not the same exact car. Something better, something...classic."

Kol nodded, glancing back at Klaus' car before shrugging."I agree. So, Nik, what do you say?"

Klaus stopped in his tracks, raising an offended eyebrow when he realized that the two had just insulted his choice of car. The two smiled over at him, Kalia wearing a knowing smile, telling him that she had purposefully offended him. He resisted the urge to snap her neck, something he always got around her, and instead turned his attention to his youngest brother. Kol was good at making him feel guilty, something he had done in order to get his hybrid brother to join them at the Grill. That was why he had went. Well that and Klaus had also agreed to go because he didn't want to hear his sister go on about her one night stand while his mother scolded Kol again for his actions the night before.

Kol's smirk widened as Klaus rolled his eyes, his jaw clenching, clear signs that told him that he had won.

Until Klaus shook his head and leaned forward to his brother.

"No."

With that Klaus walked off towards the Grill, shoving people out of his way.

"Rude."Kol sighed, grabbing Kalia's hand and leading her towards the Grill after his brother."Come, sweet, let's go find out if they have improved with drinks over the years."

Kalia, always pleased to annoy Klaus, smiled happily as she followed Kol into the Grill. Her smile faltered a little when they entered to find Klaus waiting for them at the door, holding it open. Kalia entered behind Kol, leering up at Klaus when they entered the bar.

"Your manners have improved."

Klaus frowned at her, letting go of the door just in time for it to shut on a young couple that had entered after them."Watch your tone, love, or i'll show you just how rude I can be."

"I'd love for you to show me."

Klaus chuckled at her fighting words, stepping forward, his eyes flashing amber."Be careful what you wish for, little one. Don't challenge your elders."

Kol pulled back Kalia as she made a move towards Klaus, pressing her back against his chest."Now, now, darling. Play nice. At least until the third round of drinks, all right?"

She reluctantly nodded when she heard the warning in Kol's voice and forced herself to calm down. Klaus glared at her for a few moments but the smile on his face told her that he knew that he got under her skin, that he was a trigger for her temper. She glared at him too, eyes telling him that she loathed him with a passion, that she despised him just as much as she hated him the day he killed her. Maybe more now that he had daggered her more than once over the years. The hybrid chuckled and left them, sauntering towards the stairs, the two following a moment later, Kol keeping a tight grip on her wrist just in case she lunged for his brother. He didn't care if she attacked Klaus, but he cared about being daggered.

He didn't want to spend another century locked in a box.

He didn't want that for himself or for her.

"He irks me. He's irksome." Kalia muttered to Kol as they made their way up the steps that led to the bar.

Kol pulled at her wrist, wrenching her closer as they neared Klaus. He grinned down at her, thumb rubbing back and forth her wrist, feeling her pulse race a little more at his touch."He irks everyone, love. But we don't attack Nik unless provoked. Not right now at least."

The three stopped at the bar just in time to hear the end of the conversation between Alaric and a dark haired woman.

"Wait… you think the killer's a… a vampire?"

"...there are no other suspects. It's the obvious conclusion."

Kalia glanced at Klaus, who smirked, head turning towards the two. She sighed as the joined Kol, hiding her anger as she realized that Klaus was expecting them to 'stand together'. His eyes darkened and an amused but threatening expression appeared on his face.

"Oh come on now."Klaus purred, placing his hands on the bar as the two turned around, their eyes widening as their gaze landed on the Mikaelson's."Let's not go blaming the new family in town just because you lot have got yourselves a killer at large."

Meredith swallowed at the three who sent her grins as greetings while Alaric opened his mouth to say something only to have Klaus cut him off.

"Don't mind us."Klaus stated, gesturing to the other two vampires."My brother, his girl and I are just here to let off some steam, right Kol? Kalia?"

Kalia sent Klaus a fake smile as Kol nodded in agreement with his brother, leaning against the bar. The blonde sent Alaric a smirk, tilting her head as she waved at him, wiggling her fingers.

"Uh-huh."She replied in a fake ardent manner, eyes looking over the choice of drinks."Just a friendly drink with my family. And Klaus."

She smiled sweetly as the hybrid's blue eyes glared at her before they landed on his brother. Klaus' brow furrowed when he noticed that Kol was staring at the teacher with a blank look in his eyes. He knew that look, it was a dangerous one.

"Kol?"

Alaric sent Kalia an uneasy smile in return, failing to notice Kol's eyes narrowing at the teacher before he replied."Right, brother."

The Next Day

"Are you sure this is a good idea?"

"No."

"Are you sure it'll work?"

"No."Klaus replied, leaning against the railing, looking down at the wolves who were talking amongst themselves."But impulsiveness is apart of my charm so i'm sure that it'll all work out in the end, it always does, give or take a few deaths here and there."

Kalia rolled her eyes but didn't stop the laugh that left her when Klaus smirked.

"You are lucky she was drunk when you conceived Hope because your charm is outdated. People tend to use flowers these days."

"Nonsense."Klaus shook his head, an entertained grin on his lips when he faced Kalia."There is a certain charm when a woman believes that a man has power. I have power and that has brought many woman to me just because they are drawn in by it."

"That's compulsion."

Kalia sent him a sweet smile when he rolled his eyes and looked back down at the compound. Klaus' expression suddenly turned to one of mocking and cunning as he leaned closer so that the wovles wouldn't hear them.

"Speaking of us Mikaelson men and our ability to draw people in, how is everything with my brother? "Klaus asked, voice dropping to a drawl as he added."Is the fervour still in the relationship now that he's not as durable?"

Kalia's eyes widened and she straightened, looking away."I-"

"Was it how you remembered? Did he still sweep you off your feet with his charm?" Klaus drawled, laughter spilling from his lips when he saw the look on Kalia's face."You both did have the same glow you've had for years whenever you came to stay. Especially after you both woke up from being daggered, it was as-

"Okay, shut up!"Kalia nudged him, clearing her throat awkwardly when Klaus just chuckled."It's that obvious?

"I told you, love, privacy isn't a privilege when you bide with others who have sensitive hearing."Klaus smirked, chuckling when Kalia swatted at him."Though i'm sure that you did enjoy your time with the new model, you were very vocal about it. Even I myself had to take cover with my music when you let the...emotions move you."

"Klaus!"Kalia scolded, hitting his arm again when he just continued to laugh, his grin widening when the blonde hissed at him."Shut up! It's bad enough that everyone already heard us-"

"Don't worry, love, Rebekah and Hope remained with Marcel last night but I can't say the same for Elijah."Klaus smiled, leaning back against the railing when she stopped hitting him."He might want to give you the lecture on-"

"Don't say it!"

Klaus held up his hands in mock surrender when she pointed at him, glaring at the grin that was still on his face.

"I'll keep quiet. Maybe you should tell yourselves that in future."

Kalia rolled her eyes and opened her mouth to retort but was cut off by the sound of a baby's cooing.

The two shared a nod, ready to put their plan for a truce between the two species, as Marcel walked in. The wolves instantly turned defensive when they saw the vampires, glaring at them but left out Marcel because he was holding Hope.

"How is she?"

Marcel smiled down at Hope who had her head on his shoulder."Fine but she's been missing her papa, haven't you, kiddo?"

"Where's Rebekah?" Kalia asked when she didn't see the older blonde.

"She and Elijah have gone to look for Finn while we sort this out." Klaus answered, jumping over the railing and onto the ground below."Kol should still be working on looking for an effective protection spell."

He smiled at Hope when she reached out for him and took his daughter from Marcel."Hello, there."

"She's quite a handful. Had my vamps running ragged, didn't you?"

"She gets that from her father. But, luckily for her, she is just too delightful to stay mad at, aren't you?"

Kalia took Hope from her father when Klaus nodded, eyes telling her that he was about to put his plan into action. The baby instantly attached herself to the familiar blonde, small fingers curling in her top and head instantly finding comfort on her shoulder. Kalia smiled down at Hope, rocking her to keep her happy as Klaus made his way in between the vampires and werewolves.

"You wolves are here because you want freedom and I promise you that if you stay you will be free but we need as much help as we can get."

Klaus gestured to Marcel who stood next to him, offering him the chance to speak."My vamps and I are willing to stand with you against the witches. In return, all I want is a promise that there will be peace between our sides after the wedding."

One of the wolves scoffed, not wanting to be stood there in the first place."You're the one who spent the last one hundred years killing and cursing us!"He spat at the vampire, disgusted by the sight of the other species that surrounded the compound."

"Which means you might wanna listen to what I have to say." Marcel calmly stated.

All of a sudden a laugh echoed throughout the compound and everyone turned around and faced the entrance to see that Finn stood there, shaking his head.

"What do we have here?"

Kalia stepped back with Hope, holding her protectively to her chest, Marcel following, standing in front of them. Klaus snarled and his hybrid features came forward and, without warning, he lunged for his brother, growling angrily. But before he could make more than six steps he was flung backwards and crashed into the fountain, tumbling to the floor. The vampires and werewolves watched in shock, each backing away as an angry Klaus stood up. Kalia stood with Hope who had started to cry at seeing her father being attacked and she hushed her as Finn stepped backwards out of the compound.

"I see you're brokering a truce between mongrels and parasites!"

Finn continued to back away, watching them all carefully."And just how long do you think that's really going to last? A month? A week? A day? What you don't yet seem to understand is that the only thing that can exist between your two degenerate species is hatred, war, and death."

He, out of the blue, rubbed his fingers together and blew on them as he casts a spell. They all watched in confusion as he slammed his hand against the side of the gate. Klaus flashed towards Kalia and his daughter as the entire building began to shake, stopping her before she went to find Kol.

"KOL!"

Klaus pulled them underneath the stairway as it shook harder. Kalia cried out for Kol as she held Hope to her chest, the two being protected by the hybrid king as the entire building continue to shake. She felt a pang in her chest when she shouted out Kol's name, worried knots in her stomach as she imagined him hurting himself. Finn smiled at the alarmed looks on their faces and angrily wanting to harm him Gia to flashed toward him to attack him. But she suddenly slammed into a barrier which burned her hands. Marcel flashed towards her, pulling her from the invisible barrier, checking her looked at Finn, wondering what he had done.

Finn just laughed and backed away again, eyes trailing over everyone.

"But, I imagine, given a little time confined together, you'll come to see things the way I do."

He turned and left, leaving them confined.

I hope you liked it.

Tell me what you would like to see.

Sorry for any grammar/spelling mistakes.
