Once Kol got upstairs to his room, he plopped down on his bed with phone in hand and dialed Elena's number.
"Hey you" she said cheerfully.
"Hey yourself, I forgot to ask earlier if you had plans for dinner tonight?" Kol asked.
"No, why? You have something in mind" Elena asked.
"I was wondering if you would like to have dinner with us tonight" Kol said kind of hesitantly.
"Us? As in your whole family? she asked him.
"Yeah, unless you would rather do something else" Kol said casually.
"Dinner sounds great, what time?" she wanted to know.
"I'll pick you up around 6, and you don't have to dress fancy" Kol said relieved to know his family didn't bother her.
"Ok, I'll be ready and should I bring anything?" Elena asked him.
"No, just yourself love" Kol said smiling.
"Ok" she laughed.
"Until this evening" he said happily.
"Until this evening Mr. Mikaelson, bye" Elena said.
"Bye love" Kol said hanging up.
He got up from his bed and decided to seek out Freya, to see what she knew of this legend. Part of him was leary of it, afraid happiness would be snatched from his grasp. Elena brought out something in him, even with his humanity turned off. She was light to his dark, and he didn't want to lose that.
Freya was in her craft room as she liked to call it, when she saw Kol approach. He had a look of concern, like something was bothering him. She hoped everything was alright between Kol and Elena.
"What can I do for you brother? Seems like you have something on your mind" Freya said thoughtfully.
"Actually sister I do, what do you know of the legend. The one where if a vampire feeds a human blood and if the human feels what the vampire feels at the same time they are destined for one another, like soulmates" Kol asked her seriously.
"Well from what I know of it, it's true. Their love just has to be true, given freely without interference from compulsion, spells etc. even if the person gets turned. Also the part about being one pertains to intimacy and the stronger together means the bond" Freya said matter of factly, "is that what is going on with you and Elena? She felt what you did and that scares you?"
"Kind of. It's not like her and I liked each other before that, in fact we loathed one another. Strange to think all I could ever think about was getting revenge on her, then Kai Parker happened. Then I felt like I was her protector, even though I couldn't do much at the time" Kol said thoughtfully.
"Then one good thing came out of that mess, you happy with a girl that you don't see as your next meal" Freya teased, it was great to see this side of Kol she hadn't seen before.
"That's what Elena said too, thanks for the talk sister. I'll let you get back to whatever you were doing" Kol said turning on his heel to leave.
"Anytime brother" Freya said.
