10. The New Deal

"So Mikael's dead?" Kol asked.

"Yeap" Aria replied.

"And Rebekah knows about me and Nik killing our mother?" Kol asked.

"Yeap" Aria replied.

"Does she hate us?" Kol asked, slightly scared.

"Of course not" Aria said, "She doesn't hate you for killing your mother, she's just hurt that you and Nik didn't tell her the truth".

"We didn't want her to hate us" Kol admitted.

"Your her brothers, she would never hate you" Aria said, "You can never hate family".

"Yeah" Kol whispered, "So, we were close to meeting each other in real life, but Stefan Salvatore stole my coffin?".

"Yours, Elijah's and Finn's" Aria replied.

"Great, just great" Kol mumbled, anger shown clearly on his face, him and Aria were so close to reuniting but someone came and ruined it, once again.

"Hey, listen to me" Aria said, making Kol face her, "I'm going to get you back, I'm going to get all your bodies back".

"Just, promise me you won't do anything stupid" Kol said.

Aria sighed, "I promise I won't do anything stupid, but I'm not going to stop until I get your body back, you did so much for me, now it's my turn to do something for you".

"I saved you for selfish reasons " Kol admitted, "I did that spell, because I refused to live without you".

Aria gave Kol a small smile, and placed her hand on top of his, "Selfish reasons or not, you saved me, and now I'm going to save you, and no ones going to stop me".

Kol looked down at their hands, frowning when he couldn't feel Aria's touch, "It would be nice to feel your touch after a thousand years apart".

"I promise you Kol, I'm going to find your body and I'm going to undagger you, I'm going to reunite you with your family" Aria promised.

Kol didn't say anything, just gave Aria a small smile, he knew no matter what he said, Aria won't stop until she reunites the Mikaelson's, the only fear Kol had, was the people that would hurt her to make sure she doesn't succeed.

"All right, you have your choice, bloody mary, screwdriver, brunch in a bottle" Damon told Aria and Alaric, as they sat in the bar at Mystic Grill.

Aria ignored Damon and kept glaring at Elena and Bonnie, who were also at the Grill, while Ric was busy grading papers.

"They know something, they have to know something" Aria mumbled.

"Come on guys, I can't drink this by myself" Damon complained, "I mean, I can, but then somebody's getting naked, maybe you Ria?".

"You know what, I'm just going to ask them, maybe even torture the information out of them" Aria said, ignoring Damon and getting off the bar stool, but before she could get far, Damon wrapped his arm around Aria's stomach and pulled her into his lap.
