BORN TO DIE || Kol Mikaelson | Elena's Twin Sister

Attempt

(Ep-15)

Mariah sat with Bonnie and Elena on Elena's bed while Mariah and Bonnie burned some sage, attempting to recreate the spell Esther did when she spoke to Elena
"He was gloating. Like actual gloat. Like he was proud of himself for sleeping with her." Elena ranted as they worked "Is it working?" She asked and Caroline walked inside the room
"It's not working. I can hear every word you're saying about Damon, the vampire gigolo." Caroline answered, judgingly
"I don't know, it's a tricky spell." Bonnie told her
"When Esther did it, she kept the sage burning. There was a lot more smoke" Elena told them
"Alright." Mariah relit the sage "Try it again." She told Caroline and she left the room
"Speaking of Esther, you should know that she came to see me and Abby this morning." Bonnie told them "And all this time you let me vent about Damon?" Elena asked
"I don't want you to worry." Bonnie told her
"Okay, well, what did she want?" Mariah asked
"She wanted to introduce herself. Abby and I helped bring her back. She's channeling our entire ancestral bloodline for power. I think she thought she was being polite." Bonnie answered
"Okay, well, is there a way to stop her from channeling you?" Mariah asked "and a way to stop her from asking to channel me too?"
"Even if there was, why would I want that?" Bonnie asked
"I just keep thinking....Before the sun and the moon ritual, Elijah found a way to keep me alive. And now I'm in exactly the same position and I'm just gonna let him die? It just doesn't feel right." Elena told them, feeling guilty when Caroline walked back inside
"Okay. First of all, this privacy spell is totally not working. Second. Elena, you are not doing this, Esther is doing this." Caroline told elena
"There's no time to change your mind, Elena. He'll be dead by the end of the night." Bonnie told her
"What?" Elena and Mariah asked
"It's a full moon. Esther needs to harness the energy of a celestial event. She asked me and Abby to join her." Bonnie told them. Bonnie looked down, glancing at Mariah slightly guiltily before picking up the sage.

"What's wrong with u?" Mariah asked as she walked Bonnie to the door
"What are u talking ab?" Bonnie asked
"After u told us that Esther was doing the spell tonight, u looked at me."
"So" Bonnie shrugged "I looked at u. So what?" She smiled jokingly "ur pretty" she told her. Mariah ignored her
"So u looked almost guilty" Mariah told her, crossing her arms "what's up?" She asked.
"Nothing, m. I promise. But I should be asking u that" she told her. Mariah furrowed her brows
"What do u mean?" She asked
"Well when I told u it was happening tonight, u seemed almost..surprised..but in a slightly worried way. What's that ab?" She asked. Mariah scoffed slightly
"I'm not worried" she told her. Bonnie gave her a raised eye brow look and Mariah sighed "look ok? Kol saved my life..and..I feel bad that I'm just letting him die. Also Elijah hasn't done anything to us and we barely know Finn."
"Ur making excuses, M. This is happening and it isn't our fault. We're not doing it, Esther is" she told her. Mariah looked down "and besides..what do u think he wants with u anyway? He's a thousand year old, psychopathic, killer, vampire. He was only using u to have some sick fun" she told her
"He still saved my life"
"But u don't owe him anything. U know how many people he's killed, m? He deserves what he gets"
"We don't know how many people he's killed"
"No, but we can take a wild guess and say it's a lot. U won't survive him, m."
"It's not like I'm in love with him or something" Mariah scoffed "he tried to kill Matt"
"And he'll try again with other people. He needs to die, just like the rest of them. Don't fell guilty ab it" Bonnie told her "I'll see u later" she stated before walking out of the house. Mariah sighed.

Kol and klaus are standing by the bar in the mistic grill when Caroline walked in
"I remember her from last night. She looks like a tasty little thing." Kol pointed at her
"Say another word and I'll tear out your liver." Klaus whispered "Caroline!" He called out, walking up to her. Caroline rolled her eyes
"Oh, it's you." She stated
"Join us for a drink?" Klaus asked
"Mmm, I'd rather die of thirst. But thanks." She stated before turning around and walking out
"Isn't she stunning?" Klaus asked as Kol came up next to him
"She certainly looks good walking away from you." Kol stated and klaus smiled
"I'll take that as a challenge." He told him, setting down his drink and walking out of the bar. Kol smiled at his brother before turning to see Mariah walked in his direction, not seeing him. He smiled, setting down his drink and stepping in her path
"Mariah" he greeted "its lovely to see u" he told her. Mariah rolled her eyes
"Kol" she greeted, looking away.
"Can I buy u a drink?" Kol asked. Mariah looked at him for a moment. She furrowed her brows
"What's the catch?" She asked. Kol chuckled
"U ask a lot of questions, u know that?" He told her.
"It's bc I don't trust u" Mariah scoffed. "Or like u..or even wanna be near u, rly" she told him. Kol smiled at her
"It's alright. I like pretty things with sharp tongues" he told her.
"Does ur seducing act work on every pretty girl with a sharp tongue?" Mariah asked. Kol smiled
"Yes, actually....but not u, right?"
"Not even close" Mariah scoffed. She started to walk around him but he grabbed her arm lightly, stopping her
"Wait" he told her. He nodded towards the bar "one drink?" He asked. "Sit with me and we can...get to know each other" he shrugged. Mariah looked at him for a moment, wondering if he was serious. She sighed, annoyed
"One" she told him. Kol smiled and nodded
"I'm usually too hard to resist after one drink" he told her. Mariah chuckled
"U haven't seen how well I can hold my liquor" she told him turning around "Ill be over there..get me whatever" she told him, walking away.
Mariah sat at a table in the corner of the grill. She peaked over at rik who was by the pool table, keeping a close eye on her. She nodded her head slightly before Kol walked over, setting a drink down in front of her with a smile. He pulled a chair closer to her and sat down
"So...Mariah..." he smiled at her "ur adopted right?" He asked. Mariah nodded "so u don't know what witch bloodline ur from?" He asked. Mariah looked at him with a furrowed brow
"Did u wanna sit and talk to me so u could know all of my witch secrets?" She asked before taking a sip of her drink. She furrowed her brows slightly at the taste. Kol chuckled
"Being a witch is the biggest part of who u are" he shrugged "and I wanna know u" he smiled, taking a sip of his drink, glancing at her up and down
"What is this?" Mariah asked
"Vodka soda" Kol answered "I went simple and the bar tender said that's a favorite these days" he shrugged. Mariah looked at him with a furrowed brow
"The bar tenders don't usually put vervain in their alcoholic drinks" she told him. "So why r u spiking my drink with vervain? If u know so much ab witches..u would know we can't be compelled" She spoke, genuinely confused
"I didn't put vervain in ur drink, love" he told her.
"Uh huh" Mariah nodded, not believing it. She set down her drink "We'll actually, the biggest part ab me is my favorite movies and snacks for while I watch the movies" she told him. Kol furrowed his brows briefly "I'm a homebody" she told him "U wanted to know me, so there u go. Now u know something"
"Good to know" Kol smiled, chuckling slightly at her. Mariah looked at him for a moment before glancing at rik from across the grill. Rik gestured for her to get on with it. Mariah looked at Kol, hiding her slight amount of guilt. "What's wrong?" He asked her. Mariah looked down
"I uh..." she looked up at him. She looked at his face guiltily for a moment before stabbing a dagger into his heart. Kol looked at her shocked, groaning in pain "I'm sorry, but believe it or not, I'm saving ur life, too." She told him. Kol furrowed his brows before he took his last breath, his body covering itself with purple veins. She sighed as rik rushed over
"Took u long enough. Come on. We gotta get out of here" he told her, picking up kols body.
