The Night We Met - Kolena

20º Chapter

I was in my room choosing what I should wear for my date with Kol. The house was strangely quiet. I thought it was odd because Kol always turned up the TV to watch something while I was doing other stuff. I got out of my bedroom trying to hear anything, but it was all silent.

"Kol? Is everything ok?" - I asked him in an audible tone.

"Elena, stay upstairs please." - Kol answered me, he sounded strange.

That made my whole body get cold, he was never like this. I started to walk downstairs only to see Jeremy, Kol and Damon in the kitchen. Kol smiled at me, making me feel a little better. I looked at Jeremy that had his back turned to me, my smile went completely away when I saw that he had in his position the last white oak stake. Damon grabbed a vervain grenade and let it blow up in Kol's face, he screamed in pain, i was too afraid to do something, my feets felt like they were stuck on the ground.

"Jeremy, please don't! Please Jeremy." - I begged him, tears falling freely down my eyes.

"Shut up Elena, he needs to die."

Jeremy said, everything happened so fast, the next thing I know Kol is looking at me, his eyes full of pain but the smile was still on his face, the color of his skin started to disappear, taking place a greyish color. He didn't scream, he didn't even try to fight against them, he just fell to the ground, his body in flames. I tried to get near him but I couldn't, the hot fire burning the skin on my arms. I just kneel beside him, looking at his face now burned completely, I couldn't contain the tears that fell from my eyes.

Jeremy put his hand on my shoulder but I pushed it away.

"Get out." - I said in a heartbreaking tone.

"Elena, he was bad..." - He tried to say.

"He wasn't bad, he was perfect... he just wanted to protect me, he was not supposed to be dead, but now he is and it's because of you." - I screamed at my brother.

"What the hell are you saying?" - Damon asked me with that arrogant face of his.

"I loved him, fuck... I love him so much and I couldn't tell him because you killed him." - I cried again looking at the love of my life lying dead on the floor. The pain in my heart was too much, I couldn't breath, everything around me was blurry except for Kol's body. - "Get the fuck out of my house know." - I screamed at them.

After they left I lost track of the time. I was there looking at him, hoping to see his brown eyes one last time, to see his smile... to hear him saying that i'm his favourite doppelganger or that he wanted to show me the world. I cried all of the time that I was alone, trying to get all of the pain out of my body but it was worthless.

"Elena, where the bloody hell are you?" - This was Rebkah's voice, this time i cried harder, if i'm sad i can't imagine what she will feel when she sees her brother lying lifeless on my kitchen floor. - "Oh god..."

She didn't waste any time running in my direction, I was expecting a million questions to come, but she never talked, she sat herself next to me on the floor hugging my body tight. This time we both cried in the arms of one another, she was touching my hair lightly in an attempt to calm me down without success. We stayed there for a few minutes before she spoke.

"Elena... I need to tell my brother..." - She said in a calm tone trying to make me look at her, but I still couldn't take my eyes away from Kol, hoping that for some miracle he might wake up.

"Go... I will not leave him." - I said, my tears stopped a couple of minutes ago, but my voice was quite sorrowful.

"You don't have to leave him ok? I'm just going to call Elijah, please... don't do anything stupid ok?" - I nodded my head not looking at her.

All I could think about right now was all of the moments we spent together, fighting, laughing, talking... I remember the first time I saw him, at the ball. He screamed Danger all over him, but not the kind of danger that made me feel scared, the one that made me feel excited. He was so beautiful standing there with his tuxedo and his long hair perfectly fixed in place.

The tears started to fall again, it was the best night of my life... the night we met.

"What happened?" - I hear Klaus screaming while entering my house, right now i don't know if i should be happy that he might kill me right here, at least i would be with him again. Klaus tried to take me away from the body but i fighted him crying even harder than before.

"Nik stop please." - Rebekah screamed at him, her eyes full of tears, she was feeling her pain, but she was feeling mine too.

"Why are you protecting her? My little brother is dead in her house, so why are you protecting the doppleganger? It was her or one of her friends, tell me one good reason to not kill you right now." - Klaus screamed at me, he was in pain too.

"Do it...please." - I whispered, my eyes locked on Kol's body.

"Are you begging me to kill you? Don't push me Elena, because I will do it." - Klaus screamed again.

"She loves him Nik, stop... she, he... they were in love." - Rebekah said, finally making me look at her. - "They were together in secret like two tennegers, I knew... since the beginning... so please Nik, she is suffering like we are." - Rebekah said, trying to give me a small smile.

"Who did this Elena?" - Klaus asked in a very calm voice now. I couldn't tell him, my brother was the one that killed him along with Damon, i can't let my brother die. I can't lose anyone else...

"Not now please, i'll tell you later, now i just want to look at him." - I said, seconds later I felt a hand on each of my shoulders, Elijah was on one side, Klaus on the other and Rebekah was again sitting on the floor with me. We all cried that night, trying to understand how each one of us will lived the rest of our lives without Kol being in it.
