You are not alone

Chapter 4

This was bad. This was very bad. Kol didn't even stop to think about the impact the spell could have on a person. She was never supposed to use it.

He looked at the girl on the bed. He spent the last couple of weeks with her or maybe it was less? No, it must have been more. Time on the other side was so screwed up! He came to quite like her. He didn't like the guilt he was experiencing at that moment and he just knew it was going to ruin his revenge. Before he died he would just leave the girl to suffer or even pack her up with him. A witch was always useful.

But he already died and he knew that the other side wasn't going to be there forever. He knew that if he were to die, he would truly end up in hell and he really didn't fancy that. The girl was his lifeline on the other side. Now, it seemed their roles had been reversed.

"Nik let me go." He heard his sister on the other side of Marcel's phone. "But I have to leave town. Tonight. I thought I would say goodbye."

"Then you should probably come to the church. Kol is here."

"What?" He could hear her voice skip. Oh, how sweet! Now she cares? For how long? The next five minutes?

"Now, Marcellus, who said I want to see her?" He couldn't stop the words from coming out, knowing Bekah would be able to hear him.

"Kol! It's really you? How?"

"Apparently he tricked Davina into letting him hitch the ride to the land of the living."

Kol had a nasty comeback for that but decided to focus his attention on the witch in from of him. Something had to be done about this and fast or the poor girl would be dead for good. It troubled him more than it should. He decided it was just an after effect of coming back to life. Because he didn't care about anyone. They would just disappoint him, even his own family couldn't love him, why would someone else and why should he? He didn't.

At least that was what he told himself but deep down he knew it was all lies. And he already cared about Davina. The only question was how much because he stopped trying to figure out the reason why a long time ago. He might look into it once he had time, but he had to prioritise.

He really needed some time alone to figure out his thoughts. However, he didn't have the luxury of that unless he wanted Davina to die. That link was never meant to be one sided. If she were a vampire, it would have bought her some time. This way, there was no turning back. The decision needed to be made. He will either binds himself to her in the next two hours or she will die.

"Marcel, I need some ingredients to break the link." He said all of a sudden.

Marcel stopped mid sentence. God knows what he was saying. Not that Kol cared.

"What? And leave you her with her?"

"Do you have any idea how dangerous the spell was, Marcellus?" Kol said in a mocking voice as he looked him in the eye, trying to make him see how dangerous exactly it was without actually telling him. And fortunately, Marcel could read between the lines. The fear that settled on his features told Kol as much.

"Rebekah? I have to go." Marcel hung up on her. Not even waiting for a reply. "What do you need?"

'You to get out.' So Kol gave him a list of ingredients used in a cloaking spell. It put enough items on the list but it also wasn't a harmful spell.

He waited until Marcel was far enough gone that he couldn't hear him. Kol knew what the girl needed to survive. She needed to be fully linked to him. He would need to give up a lot for her unless he wanted her to hate him completely. He could still complete the link and take Davina to wherever he wanted but that sounded too much like a Nik thing to do. He didn't want to be compared to his brother. He lost too much to him. None of his siblings would side with him, to help him stand up to Nik. He was becoming Mikael recently, the one thing he never wanted to. Serves him right, he supposed.
