"Do you know what hurts the most?" she asked, while coating her blades in fire."
"Pleasure," I replied, with a grin.
Matching my tone, she says, "Pain."

Kol's perspective
A groan escaped my dry lips.
A blade grudgingly exits itself from my flesh while simultaneously, creating a searing pain to radiate through my body. I gasped at the absence of the weapon that made me feel hollow.
"What do you think about that?" Aurora asked while she removed the blood on the dagger and savoured it, her smile widening into something unnervingly sinister.
"It was alright-could have been better," I replied, in a calm manner.
Instantly, I felt my world tilting backwards before it came to a halt. The front chair legs were up mid-air and, the back legs were standing at a 45-degree angle. Looking up, I found a familiar face. "You bastard," I muttered.
The response I receive is a smile.
Lucien stands beside me while holding the chair back at 45 degrees. Enough force for me to sit and enough to lunge forward and graze my skin against the rough rope, cold chains and twisty vines.
His eyes are soulless, but his grin says something else, before talking to Aurora. Watching the two 'mind-talk' to prevent me from eavesdropping is amusing, to say the least. When the two side-glance, I greet them with a smirk - "You know, there are single people here, right?'
Laughing abruptly, Aurora's voice takes a honeyed tone. "Oh Kol, we are just sharing a moment."
"I can see that."
"But, if it bothers you...maybe we should give you a taste of what we're truly capable of."
"Then what was that a moment ago?" I inquire.
"Oh honey," Aurora speaks in a soft tone as she drops to the height of the chair I'm sitting in. Placing her hand on the chair, she finishes with "That was the appetiser," her eyes gleaming brightly as she looks at me.
"Release him." Aurora orders Lucien.
"I didn't know it was that eas- woah!" The strength that was holding me from falling disappears and against gravity, I fell forward. 'I think my nose broke.'
My head throbs at the pounding ache from the head-on impact.
Lifting my face up with her fingers, Aurora spoke in a hush tone. "This is just the beginning."
"Your breath stinks."
"Lucien!" Aurora calls.
"Got it."
"Good," Aurora replies, withdrawing her fingers from supporting my heavy head that undoubtedly flops to the ground.
In a daze, I look up to check out what she is referring to. Passing a familiar vial to Aurora, I intervene with,"How did you-"
"Oh this?" She restated, "I called in a favour from a witch. Who knew that werewolf venom would come in handy at a time like this."
I groan in frustration. 'This task is more difficult than I thought. Damn you, Elijah,' I curse.
"Any last words?" Aurora asks as she takes out another familiar weapon from her pocket - white oak dagger.
