Original Frenzy (A Vampire Diaries x Originals Fan fiction)

Katherine?

"It'll be fine darling." Kol says, opening the door to my house for me. I walk in and stop when I see Kol standing outside the door. "Um, if you expect me to accompany you for the whole trip then I would advise for you to invite me in." I smirk, causing his grin to drop from his face, sensing trouble.

"Hm, should I?" I tease him, making him frown.

"Please?" He pleads, making me grin. "You know you won't enjoy this trip unless I'm there." He says, waggling his eyebrows at me causing me to laugh.

"Fine, you can come in Kol." I say, causing him to speed over and push me to the wall gently, kissing my lips.

"Thanks." He says, making me giggle.

"Elena? Is that you?" I hear Jeremy from upstairs, making me grin.

"Jeremy!" I shout, running over to hug him. "I missed you so much!" He hugs me tightly, twirling me around in the air, causing me to giggle.

"Where have you been? I've been so worried!" He says, frowning as he releases me from the hug.

"New Orleans..." I trail off, looking down sheepishly.

"New Orleans? Why? What were you- Kol! What the hell is he doing here?" Jeremy shouts, stepping in front of me protectively.

"No Jer, it's okay. He's with me." I put my hand on his shoulder, causing him to relax as he turns back to raise his eyebrow at me.

"Good to see you, mate." Kol says, tipping his fingers off his head like a sailor, with a smug smirk plastered onto his lips.

"You have got a lot of explaining to do. And not just to me, to Alaric too." He says sternly, causing me to frown and nod.

"Where is Alaric anyways?" I ask, looking around for him.

"He should be- Oh, there he is right now." He says, pointing towards the door. "Hey Ric, look who's here!" Jeremy shouts, causing Ric to drop his things before turning around to see me.

"Elena." He gasps, making me smile. I walk over and hug him tightly, missing the only fatherly figure I have left since my dad and John died. "Explain. Now." He says as we pull back, making me nod and point to the living room. We all sit down on the couches, me and Kol on one, and Jeremy and Alaric on another opposite of us. Alaric gave me a strange look, eyeing Kol as I told him I would explain it all later. "So... When did you get back?"

"Just today."

"And how did you get back?"

"Kol drove me."

"Ric I think you should just let Elena tell the full story before interrogating her like that." Jeremy says, causing Kol to chuckle.

"At the ball I gave my blood to Esther, the Original witch, Kol's mother, so that she could bind all her children together and kill them. I felt guilty so I told Elijah and he kidnapped me, throwing me into a cave with Rebekkah. Damon and Stefan eventually found a solution, but had to turn Abby, Bonnie's mum, into a vampire to break the witch lineage. After that, I realised that problems and danger follow me around like I'm sort of beacon. That's why I left Mystic Falls and went to New Orleans. There I found Klaus, and struck an agreement with him so that I could live there safely and he still gets what he wants." I tell them, earning disapproving looks.

"So basically, you're a walking blood bag for Klaus to use at his disposal?" Jeremy growls, making me shake my head.

"No! Our agreement was that I donate 2 blood bags every month and in exchange Klaus lets me live my life there like an equal, and protects me from other supernatural trouble." I say softly, leaning forward to take Jeremy's hand in mine. "And besides, you all are safer without me here, which is all I ever wanted. I need that, even if it means me not being here with you."
