A/N: This chapter contains possible spoilers/hints for a future chapter that I haven't written yet for my other story, "A Thousand Red Roses," but that's okay because this story isn't set in the 1900's (that's the time period that ATRR is set in). So far you've only seen one of my OCs but don't worry…more of my OCs will show up very, very soon. Here's chapter six of "Revenge & Power," aka my take on what The Vampire Diaries season five would be like if I added in a few of my OCs and Marcel from The Originals (Marcel's going to show up soon, I promise!)
Kol emerged out of his hiding place and glared at Silas.
"I thought you were gone. Bonnie closed the veil already and turned you back into stone," he said. Silas chuckled softly.
"When Bonnie died, the spell was broken. Right, Violet?" Silas said, directing his question at Violet.
"Yes," Violet admitted. Kol noticed Silas' intense gaze on her and frowned.
"Do you two know each other?" Silas glanced at Kol with disinterest and then turned his gaze back onto Violet.
"Shall I explain or should I let you?" Silas said politely to Violet. Violet gritted her teeth a little, though the slight clenching in her jaw was almost imperceptible.
"I'll do it," Violet answered.
"Go for it," Silas said. He moved to stand next to the den's door and leaned back against the wall.
"I'll be standing right over here if you need me," he said. Violet glanced at Silas and then met Kol's gaze with her own.
"The reason why I suddenly disappeared for eight years was because I was trying to hunt down Silas, whom some dim-witted witches decided to wake up. When I finally found him, he tried to get me to bring down the veil separating the living world from the Other Side so that he could take the cure for vampirism and be reunited with the woman he loved. I managed to foil his plan though since I'm apparently just as powerful as he is," Violet said.
"So you're friends with him now? Seriously, darling, he's the oldest immortal being on earth!" Kol exclaimed.
"Silas and I aren't really friends. We're just acquaintances who both want revenge on a small number of people in Mystic Falls," Violet assured him. Kol looked unconvinced and asked,
"Who?"
"Just a few people," Silas replied without moving from his comfortable position by the doorway. Kol shot the old vampire a glare.
"I wasn't asking you," he said in a frosty tone.
"You might as well get used to the fact that we're going to work together," Silas said, unaffected by Kol's tone of voice. Violet's face was unreadable as she studied the two vampires.
"Let's just get going, okay? We have some more resurrecting to do," she said. Silas flashed her a grin and opened the door to the den in one smooth flourish of his hand.
"After you," he said politely. He tipped an imaginary top hat in her direction and she smiled at him. She walked out of the room and Silas turned his gaze onto Kol.
"Don't worry, Mikaelson...I won't steal your girl," he said. Kol glowered at him and Silas's smile widened with amusement. Silas waltzed out of the room and Kol followed behind him, getting more and more sullen by the minute. Silas waltzed out of the room and Kol followed behind him, getting more and more sullen by the minute. Kol really didn't want to know how much of Silas's antics he could withstand and he sure as hell didn't want to work with Silas, even for Violet because he was beginning to hate Silas with a passion.
