Wild Child - A Kol Mikaelson Story

Chapter 4

My drive home was short, but it felt like a hundred years. I stared out the window and watched rain drops start roll down. I didn't know what to say to Kol. He chose to break the silence.

"So, you prefer the name Alex"?

I looked over at him and studied his face. His brown hair was even messier wet. Today he wore dark jeans and brown jacket. He looked both regal and youthful. I had no idea the age of his death, but he couldn't have been to much older than myself.

"Yes", I said softly, "I prefer Alex or Lex".

He gave me a small smile, "I like Alex". He continued, "so your pathetic ex boyfriend that you've spent a year dwelling on is Jeremy Gilbert aye"?

"Yes. We were together a long time, and he cheated on me with someone I really didn't get along with".

"What do you think it was about her that he liked enough to hurt you"?

I thought about it for a moment. I never even considered what he liked about her. I was just always so hurt that it happened, I didn't want to think.

"I think he chose her because she wasn't me. His parents had just died, and he was angry at the world. His parents loved me. I think I was just collateral damage in his path to self destruction".

We made eye contact and he gave me a small grin. "Well that's a bloody stupid reason. A whole lot of crying over a bloke that never gave you a proper orgasm".

My cheeks turned bright red, and we both started laughing. I momentarily felt the embarrassment of everything I told him the previous night.

He poked fun at me, "I've killed hundreds of people, and you are the only one who ever cried about not getting good sexual encounters".

I started laughing so hard it brought tears to my eyes.

"God that's so freaking embarrassing. I thought I was going to die and I just cried to my killer about my sex life. Jesus Christ what is wrong with me"?

Kol gave a full smile as he looked at me. "I actually enjoyed your honesty darling, it's why I decided my plan to spite Klaus was short sighted. Hearing your rambles about being unfulfilled and your disatisfactory with your relationship with your sister. It was something I could relate too".

I raised my eyebrows. "You are like a thousand years old. How are you unfulfilled"?

"My siblings, namely Klaus, kept me in a box with a dagger in my heart for a good portion of my thousand years. I have missed a lot".

"I'm not sure I'd forgive my sister if she did that to me..".

He gave me another grin. "I haven't really forgiven them, but they had their reasons. I can be a bit hard to control. We all can really, even our mother tried to end us".

"Your own mother"?! My eyes widened. I looked at his face but he was staring at the road.

"Yes", he continued, "not long ago my mother put a binding spell on all of us. Her plan was to let my oldest brother Finn kill himself in order to kill us all. It would have worked if your sister's friend Elena hadn't got cold feet and told Elijah".

"How did you handle your mother and Finn"?

"There both dead". He said it with no emotion. "The Salvatores got involved and stopped it. They realized that when an original dies, there whole bloodline goes with them. They couldn't let any of us die after that. I made sure they couldn't find out who their sire line belonged too".

I sat back in my seat. It at least made sense to me why everyone begrudgingly got along with each other.

I looked over at him curiously, "How did you stop them from finding out"?
