A Forbidden Love (edited)

Does being daggered feel like a hangover?

We arrived back in town as the sun already began to rise. I fell asleep easily, my head swimming with liquor fueled visions and exhaustion.
I collapsed easily on my bed the girls falling asleep around me.
I dreamt of a calm sea before Kai filled my vision. He smelled of cloves and was sitting at the edge of a wooden pier. "I came here when I could barely take it any longer." His voice was soft and I sat beside him interlacing my fingers with his. "I'm happy you are here now." I turned up to him and gasped as I noticed he had a black eye. Quickly, I was kneeling at his side my fingers tracing gently around the bruise, "Who did this to you? Did you kill him? If not I most certainly will."

He smiled though it was tinged with sadness one end of his mouth barely lifting, "Klaus. Your brother. I syphoned a lot of magic from him for it, but didn't kill him." His eyes found mine, " I- for some reason- I can't bare the thought of hurting you even unintentionally. I think it's because I love you. I mean I've obviously been in a prison world for 18 years and haven't been in love before, but I think that's why." I kissed him softly and even in our dream world it made my head spin. His fingers grasped hard at my hips pulling me towards him as if he couldn't bare to be parted in distance either.

I laughed finally pulling away, "Okay, I can't have sex in my dreams with my friends around me." "Why not?" His face was stone cold serious and I began to laugh.
Before I knew it, my dream was fading and I was waking. It was well after 2 in the afternoon. Caroline was gone, likely having a nice day with Nik as I suggested.
Bekah was stretching with a groan and Elena was wrinkling her nose. Kat was out and likely would be out for the rest of the day.

After a few moments, to my surprise Katherine's eyes began to flutter open. "Ugh, what the hell is this?"
She turned to the side shielding her eyes from sunlight as though it burned her still.

Elena remarked sleepily how normal my room looked. "Did you expect us Mikaelsons to sleep upside down or in coffins like Dracula?" I wiggled my fingers at her as though I was casting a spell to make it so.

Katherine groaned, "Please shut the fuck up or lower the noise. My head feels like it's going to explode."
Elena laughed, "Did you forget humans have wicked hangovers after drinking as much as you did?" I smiled at that, and removed my head from my... window? Why did I fall asleep with my head on the window?

"Oh god," she stumbled to her feet from the floor by my bed, "I hate this. It feels like I drank straight vervain."
Her skin quickly drained of color, "I need to barf, where-?" I pointed away from my room, "Elijah is right down the hall. Use his bathroom. It's-." "I know." She stumbled out the door, her hand over her mouth.

Rebekah, who was laying diagonally across my bed, sat up. "Do you- do you really think Katherine hates being human as much as she acts?"
I wouldn't be able to bare it, that I knew, but Elena seemed to want it more than anything as did Rebekah. "All I know is I was not meant to toil on this earth as a human. I've never been near human having the blood of a witch and a werewolf coursing through my veins prior to this. I dread the thought of not being who I am at my heart. Even being stripped to mortality makes me quiver in my bones."
Elena eyed us warily moving to gaze at us, "It's hard sometimes. I'd miss being a vampire in someways I think. I'd miss my blood healing people and myself, compelling people. It would be a level of convenience that would be stripped away. I miss things about being a human too though. I miss not having to hold onto so much control, my emotions being easier to manage. I miss the trust I had in myself as a human. I miss the sun feeling so warm."
Bekah's eyes were wide and she looked as if she may cry or smile at the prospect. "Oh I think-." She was cut off Elema's eyes widening her finger coming to her lips. Listen.

I tuned in, no longer closing my ears to the sounds around me as I would do normally. Normally, I tried to only listen in on the room I was in, otherwise the sounds grew to be too much.
Instead I could hear the birds chirping outside. Katherine groaning about her situation. Still I tuned in more, listening for the most faint of sounds.
My heart had begun to pound desperately. Would I be able to protect everyone who resided within? I could hear Hayley softly talking to Hope, playing with her. Hope was giggling.
I could hear Caroline muttering to herself and the swishing of clothes on a rack in a closet.
Juliet and Henrik were arguing amongst each other in their room, near Hope's on the opposite wing.
I'd have to protect all those who resided within my home. I'd have Rebekah at my side, maybe Hayley. No, Hayley would barricade herself in with Hope, a final line of defense. Perhaps, I would be able to flash Caroline to the twins and Hope. I could protect the most vulnerable in my family from there. Of course, there was the complete human who was retching, I'd need to protect her. She was defenseless against even another human having little to no combat training.
Our front door creaked and steps sounded. I'd have to protect Katherine, she meant something to Elijah and the twins would have no mother. So my list had grown: a human, two newly resurrected 12 year olds, a pregnant vampire, a hybrid, and a barely one year old. At my side I would have my sister and a new baby vampire, who likely could barely hold her own. She was well trained in combat, though.
The next sound I heard drained my rising panic. It was barely the smallest of whispers from the lowest level of our house, but I could hear it clear.
"No, darling, Davina-." An easy smile fell on my face, this was no intruder. It seemed my hybrid hearing allowed me to hear better than the two vamps both inclining their heads at me, waiting for an explanation.
"It's only Kol, no need to fret. In actuality, it would be best I speak to him. Hear how he is faring in his relationship after that whole daggering ordeal. I had heard Davina was ready to burn down Mystic Falls. "
