"I'm thankful that dreadful black mess came off me in the shower" Rebekah said.
"Me too, at least the dye has faded. Starting to think after a few more showers it will be gone" Freya said.
"Well sister at least you don't look as scary as you did earlier" Nik joked.
"Yes, now we need to figure out why your spell went wrong" Elijah said.
"I was thinking about that while Elena was in the shower, only another witch can make spells mess up like that. They can make spells against certain objects or ingredients so they don't work properly" Kol stated.
"Of course! Here I have been so focused on getting the dye off me, I didn't even think of that" Freya said.
"Better question is who would do that and why, I mean what is gained by coloring Freya's face and hair with dye?" Elijah asked.
"A distraction. But from what" Nik pointed out.
"Is there any way to get rid of the spells or find them to fix them? Rebekah asked looking at Kol and Freya.
"Problem is I would be using a spell to get rid of a spell, and no telling what would happen" Freya stated.
"I know this is a long shot but could it be the room or the house that has the spell and not the stuff you use? Elena asked.
"I never thought of that, let me get the ingredients from the first spell that went wrong and make it outside" Freya said.
"Be sure to cover up this time sister" Elijah called out to Freya as she left the room.
"Do you really think it could be just the room or house causing her spells to go wrong?" Rebekah asked.
"It is possible, would be a lot of work to just mess with the ingredients. After all witches can put barrier spells on rooms or houses" Kol said.
"Once Freya has all she needs and tries her spell outside we shall know" Nik said casually.
Freya had come back downstairs wearing her old raincoat with what she needed then they all headed outside, staying a safe distance back in case it blew up again. Once the spell was done, nothing happened. Still no one moved closer, all remembering what had happened with the black goo.
"It worked!" Freya shouted excited.
"Well now we know it's either the room or the house...personally I say it's the room" Rebekah said looking at her siblings.
"I agree, it works like a barrier spell but only on other spells" Nik said.
"At least Freya didn't blow anything up, now to find the witch who did this. Who knows what else he or she is up too next since we discovered the spell on Freya's craft room" Elijah stated.
Afterwards Rebekah decided to retire to her room, Nik and Elijah headed off to get a drink, Kol and Elena went to his room and Freya headed towards her craft room to start cleaning up the mess she created earlier.
Once inside his bedroom he pulled Elena towards the bed kissing her before they both tumbled on to it. Kol deepened the kiss and she responded to him with the same passion that matched his own. He broke the kiss, silently asking with his eyes if she wanted to beings they weren't exactly alone in the house. All she could do was nod her head, before Kol was kissing her again. They only paused long enough to undress then he entered her, making her back arch off the bed. Then he stopped moving looking into her eyes, and took a deep breath before saying the words.
"I love you Elena" Kol whispered, unsure of how she would react.
"And I love you Kol" she whispered back then smiled.
As soon as he said it, he started to move again. Sending both of them over the edge. Afterwards Elena lay in his arms while he ran his fingers up and down her back, both content. She finally drifted off to sleep giving him the chance to watch her at complete rest before sleep overtook him.
A short time later Elena awoke, she kept reliving being tortured by Kai. She got up from the bed grabbing Kol's shirt and her panties putting them on and heading to the bathroom to get a drink of water. Kol had woken up the moment she left the bed, knowing she was having nightmares about being tortured. He got up putting on his boxer briefs before heading towards the open doorway of the bathroom.
As he entered the bathroom, Elena stood at the sink staring into the mirror until he entered then she looked at him. Kol walked towards her then wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Bad dream, love?" Kol asked.
"I can't stop remembering what he did to me in that room" she said shivering.
"I know, love. I wish I could take it away for you" Kol said near her ear.
" I know you would" Elena said turning in his arms to look up at him.
"You know darling, you are making it hard to resist you while standing here in my shirt" Kol said flirting with her.
"Hmmm...maybe you shouldn't resist me then" she said as she stood on tip toe to kiss him.
Kol didn't need to be told twice, he grabbed her around the waist sitting her on the bathroom counter. Not breaking the kiss he stripped her of her panties then took his briefs off. He put both his hands on her hips pulling her to the edge of the counter entering her. Elena tilted her head back with her eyes closed and Kol kissed her neck. As both were near the end they looked at each other before descending together.
Afterwards they climbed into the shower letting the water cascade down on them as he held her pinned up against the wall. Elena wrapped her legs around his waist as he entered her, every nerve in her body tingled and he sent her over the edge the moment his lips started kissing her neck. Once she started going over, it sent Kol into overdrive and he soon followed.
They got out of shower, dried off and crawled into bed. Kol pulled Elena close to him before they both fell asleep.
