Kol Mikaelson's heart pounded in a way he hadn't felt in centuries. The air around him seemed to thicken as he locked eyes with her. It couldn't be. It wasn't possible. Yet there she was, standing, looking as ethereal as the day she was taken from him.
Kol's mind raced, memories flooding back that left him breathless. The way she laughed, the touch of her hand, the love they shared—it all came rushing back. Overwhelmed, he couldn't bear to face the possibility that she might truly be back, or worse, that it was some cruel trick.
Panting, Kol ran out of the room, his usually playful exterior broke. He leaned against a wall, far away from his house, trying to steady his breath. Vampires weren't supposed to feel this way. They weren't supposed to be overwhelmed, to feel their hearts race like this. But here he was, shaken to his core.
As he tried to collect himself, a mixture of hope and fear surged through him. Could it really be her? And if it was, how had she come back? Kol knew he needed answers, but, for now, he needed a moment to compose himself, to process the emotions that threatened to consume him.
He couldn't believe it, will dates really be this merciful on him to give him a second chance at love? Those fates who always took what he loved the most? His magic, his freedom then his love. The only woman that he had loved in his thousand years of existence, the only woman he saw his future with. The world wanted him to believe that he somehow got her back after losing her once? No! He can't be this fortunate! Getting a second chance? No way! She was his only fortune, and things like these you don't get them twice, and here we are.
It was a ploy, a ploy by witches or their enemies, they didn't have shortage of those. A ploy so beautiful, accurate, down to the core, a ploy which fools the mightiest of the supernatural, so good at fooling. But he won't be fooled! He won't be swayed by her beauty, her voice, her scent, her words or anything!
His brothers are fools, how that ploy managed to fool Rebekah too, but he won't be, and he will expose her!
He needs to stay strong! And look past her beauty!
