Frenemies (Kol Mikaelson/ The Originals)

19

Elisa's POV

I awoke to a burning sensation all over my body. My hands were tied to the arms of a chair, my feet also restrained.

I tried to break free but the pain was unbearable. There was only one thing that caused this. Vervain.

I gave up struggling and looked around, only to spot Kol leaning against the wall smirking. I groaned and rolled my eyes.

"You may be into this kinky shit but I definitely am not" I said, glaring at him.

He smirked and approached me. "On the contrary, darling. I don't want to hurt you at all, but if that's what it takes to get you to flip the switch, then that's what I'll do".

I wriggled my hands, trying to get free but again failing. "Don't bother trying. You won't escape".

I looked at him angrily. "Why are you doing this? Can't you see I'm better like this? I don't need to feel. I can do whatever I want without caring, without feeling guilt, upset" I said, trying to get him to understand that this is what I wanted to be.

He sighed, leaning forwards so his face was close to mine, our noses almost touching. "I believe you. You are better, you're not weak, you're not scared, you're not affected by anything. But there's one issue". I tilted my head to the side, curious as to what the problem was.

"You're not you. You're not the girl I knew. The girl I knew was caring, kind, happy. Her smile could light up the darkest street and her eyes twinkled with love. She made you want to be a better person. That's the girl I knew". He backed away and sat in a seat opposite me. I felt touched by his words, and an emotion I couldn't name. However, the feeling didn't last long as I felt emptiness again, relaxing in my seat and raising an eyebrow at Kol, showing him his attempt failed.

"You'll have to try harder than that" I grinned, watching as he got up, annoyance clearly on his face. Before I could react, he punched me across the cheek, breathing heavily. I brushed it off, facing him again smiling.

Realising nothing was working, he left the room, leaving me to sit in my own company.

Kol's POV

"There has to be a way to wake her up" I complained, gripping onto the dining room table. Elijah was sat on one of the chairs, wiping his hands clean from the blood of the victims from the bar. "Perhaps there's a way to make her feel without her knowing what we're doing" he said, implying one thing.

"I'm not looking into her mind and her memories, brother. I don't want to see what she can do, and I doubt she'll let me in anyway" I sat opposite him and huffed. Elijah leaned forward and laced his hands together, almost like he was doing business.

"Then don't let her know you're doing it" he smiled before getting up and heading to Hope's room.

I stood up and entered into the room where we tied Elisa up. She was sat there smirking, obviously feeling like she'd won. Little did she know.

I was terrified about going into her mind, scared of what I'd see, but I had to try for her.

I stood in front of her, looking down at her face. "I'm sorry" I whispered, causing her to tilt her head slightly. In one swift movement, I snapped her neck, watching her fall lifeless.

Elisa's POV

Darkness overcame me as I fell unconscious. I seriously needed to find a way to stop Kol snapping my neck.

Suddenly a light appeared, reaching out to me. I wasn't sure what it was, but I found myself reaching back.

The light disappeared and I found myself in the same position. I must have woken up. Kol was sat in front of me, sighing. He stood up and untied me, making me confused.
