You are not alone

Chapter 3

Something was wrong she knew that the second she woke up. For starters, she couldn't breathe and there was something wrapped around her, some kind of a cloth.

She started to gasp for air and clave her way out of the cloth but it was wrapped around her too tight and in multiple layers.

"D, D, it's alright. I've got you." She heard Marcel and then she felt someone's hands trying to help her. She trashed around even when Marcel told her to hold still until, finally, she was free and she could breathe again.

She looked around still disoriented. She was back in the attic and Marcel was holding her in his arms like the first time he saved her. Before she met Kol, this would make her feel safe, so, so safe. However, Kol could always calm her much better than even Marcel could. (so she just abandons all her feeling for her stepfather because she found a better one?)

"It's ok, D. You are safe now." Marcel's voice was still as soothing as she remembered. But Kol was nowhere to be seen. She hadn't anticipated how much she would miss his company. After all they spent so many days together. Or ... maybe it was only a day or to, or maybe it was all a dream, maybe Kol was not real, maybe he never was and she just created some hot guy to pass the time with, maybe the entire place was just a dream or a hallucination.

Her hearts started to beat so hard and fast, she would swear it was hitting her ribcage. No, Kol had to be real! He just had to! The spell must have brought him back. Maybe he was somewhere else in the city, or maybe he was by his grave?

Oh! The spell! How could she be so stupid?! She quickly looked down to her palm where she found a partly healed cut that certainly wasn't there during the harvest, the same cut she made to complete the link.

"D?"

He was alive and that was all that mattered. She would find him and everything would be alright again.

Kol woke up startled and yelped in pain. His naked body automatically jumped into the nearest shadow. The sun was shining and his skin was burning from it. He was back to the land of the living. But how? He didn't even have time to convince Davina to bring him back and she was on the other side when he went to sleep.

Davina! She was still stuck there!

Even though it wasn't the plan, Kol felt bad. Bad that he left her there alone and bad that he wanted to use her in a first place. This was not good. He didn't care. Not for a witch he hardly knew. But then again, if he was being honest, he knew her well and she was just what he needed on the other side. Kol could still remember what the place was like before and how it almost drove him mad. His revenge was the only thing keeping him sane. Davina could not stay dead! Absolutely not! Well, it looked like he will have to kill the witches that hijack the harvest and bring back Davina himself.

First things first. He will need some clothes and a daylight ring. He looked around, of course he was at the compound. Niklaus would hardly be anywhere else. And Kol could still remember this house. He knew where Nik's room would be, his clothes should fit at least for now. And there probably will be a vampire with a daylight ring somewhere.

Kol snuck into his brother's room knowing it would be empty. He ran through the sun lit room to the walk-in closet ignoring the pain it caused him. He quickly opened the door to shield himself from the sunlight only to find a nursery. Did Nik really have to change the bloody compound now?

"Hey! Who the hell are you?!" Kol turned around to find a man walking into the room. He was tall, muscular, dressed in leather and black and positively vampire with a shiny daylight ring on his finger. Kol smirked. Now, this was what he missed. He ran to the vampire and broke his neck before her could even attempt to make a move against him. He stripped his daylight ring and put it on his finger after he dragged him into the shadows. He stripped him of his clothes and put them on. They were too big but they would do for the moment.
