Aftershock

Third Person POV

The Mikaelson siblings along with Sage stared in the direction that the Petrova doppelganger had dramatically left, their mouths agape and eyes almost bulging. They were all confused but one, the one at the centre of Elena's anger. He knew why she did what she did and he wasn't surprised that she reacted that way, he was surprised that she saw them. He'd thought she'd borrowed some clothes and left judging by the empty bed he'd awoken to. He hadn't meant for feeding on that blonde to go so far, he didn't want to hurt Elena but he couldn't control the predator inside, he hadn't ever wanted to until the other night. Sage had found the whole situation hilarious and had enjoyed seeing the girl hurt.

After the aftershock of Elena's actions, five sets of confused eyes turned to the youngest male. When the Originals, minus Klaus, caught the scent of lust and sex, they understood and rage burned inside. Kol shrunk back slightly at the sight of his angry siblings, afraid of what they'd do to him.

Finn, the most controlled of them all, reacted first, surprising everyone, and stepped forward, ready to kill his brother. However his red-headed companion held him back, not happy in the slightest that her lover cared so much for another. She was taken aback when he simply shrugged her off, not even sparing her a look. Perhaps his feelings for Elena, if they could be called that, made him a better person.

Rebekah and Elijah followed in their brothers footsteps, stepping towards the scene until they all stood in a line in front of their youngest brother. Klaus rolled his eyes at his siblings and retreated back into his bedroom, not caring for their rivalry. Meanwhile the battle was about to begin.

It was unclear who threw the first punch but that information wasn't crucial because the only important thing right now was that Kol lost and was currently being dragged down the stairs, dressed only in boxers placed on him by the same servant girl that he had been fucking mercilessly previously, unconscious by his eldest brothers. It was time their brother faced the music for his actions.

They dragged him through the house and out the back door, into the garden and then finally into an outhouse close by. They chained him up with chain drenched in vervain and took his daylight ring before leaving him there with promises to be back later to finish what they had begun.

Meanwhile...

Elena POV

My feet and legs ached as I reached the town centre. I suddenly came to the realisation that if I went to the hospital that they'd have to call Alaric and I wasn't ready for his lecturing yet. But I was sure my forearm was completely crushed and I couldn't leave it like that because the pain was unbearable and tears were flooding from my arms and down my face, earning the attention of every person passing.

I wasn't ready for the judgement that anyone here would provide so I walked to the only place I knew would be empty and would have some kind of pain relief, the Lockwood Mansion.

...

I arrived at the house, expecting it to be abandoned but loud music was coming from inside. My brows furrowed and I pushed open the large door. Once inside I gagged as the smell of strong liquor filled my senses. I walked forward slowly, wary, holding my arm to my chest to restrict the movement.

Turning the corner I gasped at the sight...
