No sooner than Kol had told Elena they should get dressed there was a knock at the door. He looked over at Elena as she was looking at him with a smile on her face. Kol motioned for Elena to stay behind him and out of sight, then he walked over to the door cautiously and listened, he found it odd that one of his siblings wouldn't let him know it was them. He looked back at Elena and jestered with his hands to text Nik.
Get to the house asap. Kol's bedroom Elena texted quickly.
"Who is it?" Kol asked cautiously.
No reply came, and he wasn't opening the door until they did. But as he stood near the door an incredible hunger came over him, like he hadn't fed for days. He hoped Nik and the others hurried up because his control was slipping and Elena was in danger with him.
"Elena I need you lock yourself in the bathroom until Nik and the others get here" Kol said strained not looking at her.
"Kol, what's wrong?" she asked starting to feel afraid.
"I'm not sure, I feel like I haven't fed for a long time and I'm not sure how much longer I can stay in control...so please bathroom now" he begged her.
He heard her shut and lock the bathroom door, then decided to move away from the door to see if the hunger would lessen. As he backed away from the door he heard Nik, Elijah and Rebekah come into the house and up the stairs. Kol flung open his bedroom door and stepped outside, they looked at him with a worried look seeing that he had vamped out. Rebekah dashed into the bedroom looking around as did Nik while Elijah stayed with Kol.
"Elena?" Rebekah called out as she heard the bathroom door open.
"Are you alright?" Nik asked concerned.
"Yeah, Kol told me to lock myself in the bathroom until you guys got here" Elena said looking around for Kol.
"He's in the hallway with Elijah" Rebekah said.
"Did he hurt you?" Nik asked her, and she shook her head no.
"Is he ok?" she asked walking towards the open doorway.
Elijah turned to look at Elena as she approached prepared to get between the two if Kol went after her.
"I'm going to check on Freya, while you all figure out what just happened" Rebekah said as she hurried off down the hallway.
"What happened?" Nik asked Kol.
"There was a knock on the door so I went over and asked who was there, no answer and as I stood there I started to feel like I hadn't fed in days so I told Elena to lock herself in the bathroom until you got here" Kol recalled back to them.
"How are you feeling now this close to her?" Elijah asked his younger brother curiously.
"Fine, the hunger is gone" he said puzzled by what had just happened. Noticing that both his brothers flanked Elena, at least he knew they would protect her even if it was from him. RIght now he wanted nothing more than to wrap her in his arms and hold her tight. As if sensing what he wanted Elena stepped forward, looking into his eyes and wrapped her arms around his waist. He in turn wrapped his arms around her, resting his jaw up against her hair looking at his brothers.
"Elijah, Nik! get in here quick" Rebekah shouted.
Elijah and Nik took off down the hallway as Kol and Elena stood just outside his bedroom. Kol looked to make sure the painting was still where he put it, for now it was one less worry. He continued to hold her relieved she wasn't afraid of him and that he managed to stay in control.
Elijah and Nik made their way to where Rebekah as she was kneeling over Freya out cold on the floor as was the young witch Jayme. The two brothers exchanged looks before trying to wake both Freya and Jayme. Elijah noticed that Jayme had a cut on her head where she had hit it on the edge of the table as she fell. Freya came around first looking to see three of her siblings looking at her with concern.
"What happened?" she asked.
"We were hoping you could tell us, seeing as how our brother almost made Elena dinner and you two are out cold on the floor" Nik said looking at Freya.
"Is Elena alright?" she asked worried.
"She is fine, Kol managed to control himself. I thought this room was cursed from you doing spells correctly?" Elijah mentioned.
"It was, I got most of the spells fixed..including the curse" Freya said.
"That doesn't explain how I come in here to find you two passed out on the floor" Rebekah was saying as Jayme was waking up.
"I can't remember..." Freya trailed off.
"Well it seems the little witch has woken up, maybe she would care to explain what happened in our absense" Nik said starting to get a little angry.
"It would be wise to answer truthfully" Elijah said calmly.
"Alright" Jayme said as she stood up.
"We're waiting" Nik said growing impatient.
"I ruined the spells on purpose, I have to admit Freya I didn't think you would figure out to reverse what I did so fast. Now the painting and Elena being linked took work...the spell I used is here, you just have to find it to fully reverse it. Remember Freya when you were thinking and wondering if I messed with what everyone always thought was legend? I did tell you the truth, didn't know about it until you said it..err thought it. Oh I did do a little spell when I knocked on your brother's bedroom door though, making him think he was hungry. Lucky for his little human, he showed great restraint...pity" Jayme said scathingly as her back was to the door.
Unknowst to the little witch Kol came up behind her and knew what had to be done. His siblings gave nothing away when he appeared in the doorway catching the last part of her little tirade. He reached out and ripped her head off and let it drop to the floor.
"Finally, I thought she was going to try and talk us to death" Elijah said dryly.
"Sorry sister if you still needed her, but it seems she lost her head" Kol smirked.
"I didn't need her, I just didn't want her out of my sight. Everything she did was easy to reverse, I just wanted her to think I needed her" Freya said sweetly.
"Well played sister" Nik said with a smile.
"Is there some kind of spell you can do to prevent anymore intrusions from coming in by the old gazebo out back?" Rebekah asked.
"Let's go" Freya said looking at her sister as they stepped over Jayme's body.
"Well I guess we need to get this mess cleaned up" Nik said cheerfully looking at his brothers.
