Fallen From Grace: A Kol Mikaelson Love Story

Chapter Fifteen: Death Isn't The End

I'm sitting in the living room with Kol laying in my lap while Klaus and I sketch each other. I turn to the door hearing it open and see Rebekah. Kol gets up and blocks her path, "Well, well, well, there's our girl!" He exclaims causing me to roll my eyes. "Get out of my way, Kol," she growls, Klaus watches me as I just focus on my drawing. "Out all night. What a scandal! I trust you did better than that commoner? Matt, was it?" Kol continues my eyes flicker over to the pair before returning to my sketch. "If you don't shut your mouth, the next thing to come out of it will be your teeth," Rebekah says causing Klaus to smile. I roll my eyes again and start going into the details of the sketch when I hear Klaus clap his hands. "Well if you want entertainment Kol, your lovely soulmate, Nyx got invited to go sing at the Grill tonight. The poor dear is a bit shy and would feel a lot better if we went and supported her." He says causing me to look up at him with wide eyes. He nods and makes a writing sign and I nod my head turning to Rebekah and Kol giving them big puppy eyes. "It would really mean a lot to me and we haven't been out as a family in ages." I express, Kol and Bekah smile forgetting their squabble for a minute. "Of course little sister. I can't wait." Bex tells me with Kol nodding. I smile happily and get up "alright well then let's head to the Grill. Boys you can do some day-drinking while I get stuff set up." I tell them. Klaus comes over and picks me up throwing me over his shoulder causing me to squeak in surprise. "Kol I love the way your soulmate thinks," he says as we leave and I wave bye to Rebekah.

I smile as we walk in and go over and talk to the owner as the boys sit at the bar and get some drinks. I bite back a growl seeing Kol ogle over Meredith, I know he is looking to kill something. Unfortunately for me, that means he ogles other women. I walk back over to them "Hey Alaric." I say hugging him tightly. I instantly feel glares in the back of my head. "Hey Nyx, it's been a minute. I heard you are singing here tonight." He comments and I nod. "Yes if everything goes well I will be," I say before feeling arms snake around my waist causing me to smirk. I step out of Kol's grip and bid Alaric goodbye before I go and start to shoot pool. Klaus's loud laughter rings in my ears. "Someone's in the doghouse," he comments laughing. Meredith joins me and I roll my eyes ignoring her. I leave the pool table and go to throw darts. As soon as I throw my last one I feel my body engulfed with pain. I let out a small scream turning I see Alaric had stabbed Kol and is quickly moving him out the back. I follow him out the back and see Alaric, Stefan, and Damon Alaric is about to hand Kol over to the boys when Klaus joins me I run over and pull out the dagger from Kol I use my magic to push Alaric into a wall. Stefan jumps at me but I duck and Klaus takes care of him. I look up at Damon as I cling on to Kol he looks at me with a mixed expression. Klaus turns to Damon as well, "I should have killed you months ago." He says I drag Kol up the stairs as they talk. Klaus goes to pounce on Damon but Elijah stops him.

I walk up to the house with Kol, Klaus, and Elijah. "Is it bad if I tell you I always hated your guys' mom?" I ask they laugh but it soon dies as we turn the corner and see a salt pentagram and a torch at each corner. "Each flame represents one of you," I tell them. Esther walks into the pentagram to stand next to Finn. "My sons, come forward," she tells them. Finn glares at us. "Stay beside me, mother." He tells her. "It's okay. They can't enter. But she can." Esther says noticing me. Kol approaches the pentagram but is driven back by the flames flaring up. "That's lovely. We're stuck out here, while the favorite son plays sacrificial lamb. How pathetic you are, Finn." Kol says with a cold stare. "Be quiet, Kol. Your brother knows virtue you cannot even imagine." Esther says to Kol "She's channeling Bonnie and Abby." I whisper to Elijah as Esther's eyes meet mine and she glares. I glare back at her. "You claim to want to protect your children and you did you protected them from death but now here you are, about to commit a terrible atrocity," I shout at her as I focus on trying to break the pentagram. "The only thing I regret is not letting them die all those years ago." she tells us, "For a thousand years, I've been forced to watch you. Felt the pain of every victim, suffered while you shed blood. Even you, Elijah, with your claim to nobility, you're no better. All of you. You're a curse on this Earth. Stretched out over generations. If you've come to plead for your life, I'm sorry, you've wasted your time." She spats, I glare at her when suddenly she has a look of fear come across her features. "No! Sisters! Don't abandon me!" Esther screams Finn shouts for her and I smirk finally being able to break the pentagram, blood dripping from my nose as I step forward shattering the barrier. The torches become engulfed in flames, Kol, Klaus, and Elijah step back from the flames. After a moment the fire dies down and the torches go out. I notice Finn and Esther are gone I turn to the boys with a sad expression before I feel my body go weak and I fall to the ground. I hear Kol scream my name then nothing.

~Kol's POV~

I look at the pentagram in shock, my brother and mother are gone. Nyx turns to face us a sad expression painted on her face. That is when I notice the blood. She sways and falls to the ground. "Nyx!" I shout running to her Elijah and Klaus run to me as well. I check for a pulse it is weak and fading. "I can't lose her again," I whisper to myself as I bite my wrist and feed her my blood Elijah and Klaus look at me in shock. Damon Salvatore walks out of the house and stops seeing what is going on. After she has taken enough blood I scoop her up in my arms her head resting on my arm. "You're gonna be alright," I tell her as me and my brothers leave. I set her on her bed and grab a wet towel. I sit on the edge of the bed wiping away her blood as I finish I hear the one sound that has always killed me worse than any dagger. The sound of her heart-stopping. I stand up and slip a ring onto her finger. 

One that I used to propose to her every single time we find each other. I lean down and press a gentle kiss to her forehead a tear spilling free and landing in her hair. I leave the room and go downstairs to my siblings. As I walk down the stairs I feel their eyes on me I swallow softly as I stand in front of them. "The one time I have been in time to save her life and it still wasn't enough," I say. I flip over the glass table in anger. I throw every piece of furniture around until there is nothing but, shards and splinters. I fall to my knees tears falling from my eyes like waterfalls. I don't even notice the small feather-like footsteps coming down the stairs.

~Regular POV~

I gasp softly and sit up. I look around and notice I'm in my room at the mansion, everything seems clearer brighter fuller. I swallow and my throat feels like it is on fire, I hear sobbing coming from somewhere. I quietly stand up and walk out the open door and down the stairs. I take in all the furniture that has been smashed and the glass shards glittering around the room. In the middle of it, all is Kol. I get to the bottom step and no one has noticed me, "K-Kol?" I ask in a shaken voice. Rebekah, Elijah, Klaus, and Kol all turn to look at me. Shock and surprise paint their faces, Kol stands up and walks over to me. He touches my cheek ever so gently. "Nyx are you alright?" He asks me softly. I swallow softly and bite my lip. "I'm thirsty, and not for water or anything like that," I tell him, he looks at me confused. I touch my throat with a shaken hand as tears prick my eyes. "I-I'm thirsty for blood."
