Wild Child - A Kol Mikaelson Story

Chapter 2

I didn't say a word as I followed behind him. He didn't turn to me, and moved so gracefully you could not even tell we were walking through the woods. I could feel my heart beating faster. I was scared. I was high. I was hoping I was hallucinating from a foul ecstasy pill, but I knew. His intention was to kill me.

Once we reached the end of the woods, he turned to me and held out his hand. I found myself frozen in place, unable to speak or move.

"C'mon now Alexandra, we are heading to my new home. Really it is a nice place, and I think what I have planned will really give it that homey feel".

I swallowed and kept looking at my feet. "If you're going to kill me, why can we not get it over with. Why drag this out"?

His grin grew wider.

"Well now, let's not jump to the fun part. You see, I am going to use your death to piss off my big brother. One would say he fancies your sister Caroline, and I bet it would be a lot harder for Nik to keep trying to win her affections if he is the reason her sister dies".

Realization hit me. He was one of Klaus's brothers. Caroline had told me some details, but my brain was very fogged down. She mentioned an Elijah but described him as proper. This brother did not give me a proper feeling.

"You are Klaus's brother". It was more of a statement.

He rolled his eyes. "Well of course you know my brother. He has been tormenting your sister's friends for a while. Particularly the doppleganger. Oh, did he have big plans for her. But forgive me for being rude Alexandra, my name is Kol. Kol Mikaelson".

"You are going to kill me to punish your brother and you think not telling me your name was the rude part? What did he do that makes you want to spite him"?

He laughed quitely at my first comment. I guess even in the face of death I still used humor to cope.

He turned away from me again, but motioned for me to follow again.

"Well if I am being honest with you, my siblings and I don't always see eye to eye. They don't like how I choose to live. Regardless, I do not think it's worth me spending centuries at a time with a dagger in my chest, but nonetheless".

Something about his wording made me snort and stifle laughter. He turned to look at me again.

"Am I humoring you darling"?

It took me a moment to compose myself. The situation was not funny, but there were a lot of substances at play within me. If I am going to die, might as well humor myself.

"You are going to kill me because you and your vampire homicidal siblings cannot get along. This is literally only something that would happen to me. Sure Caroline and I aren't close, but I could never imagine her pushing me to that point".

He stood quite for a moment.

"Why are you and your sister not close"?

"Do you always get to know the women you're about to eat this well"?

Guess I am feeling spicy. Probably speeding up my death, but c'mon. This entire situation is so unhinged.

"I have been locked in a coffin dead more than once, and never has anyone humored me with a conversation before hand. Let's just make acquaintances".

Points for honesty I guess.

I wondered to myself what I should say next. Would he somehow use it to hurt Caroline? It did not sound like he wanted to hurt her, just Klaus but unfortunately I was meant to be the collateral damage. I decided if this was going to be the last person I spoke to, then he was going to hear it all.
