(A/N to stop the confusion the story is back to Julietta's Pov)
Blinking slowly I opened my eyes before scanning the unfamiliar room that I had been sleeping in. Turning my head to look at the male figure beside the bed, I let out a quiet groan at the soreness in my neck. Hearing the small sound, Kol's head snapped up and his eyes whipped over towards me instantly.
"You're awake."
"How long was I asleep for?"
"A day or so." My eyebrows shot up in surprise.
Rising from his seat, he moved to sit beside me. My eyes followed him curiously as one of his hands came up to frame my face and the other one held one of my hands. Why was he looking at me as if something was wrong?
"Kol-"
His lips silenced my words and I pulled back slowly as he lowered his gaze to my hand. Raising an eyebrow I followed his gaze before freezing at the sight of the ring on my left hand. Pulling my hand away from his grasp, I moved towards him and pulled the chain out from beneath his shirt only to see that it was plain.
"Why am I wearing the daylight ring?" I asked quietly, peering up into his eyes. His eyes avoided mine and he sat back slightly, moving away from me. As the silence grew, my heart began to beat rapidly and I spoke quickly, my panic coming across in my voice. "Kol, please. Answer me!"
"You've been turned."
I bit down on my bottom lip to stop a gasp and wrapped my arms around my middle. "Did you turn me?"
"No." Looking away from me, he picked at the blanket below him. "Bekah fed you some of her blood and I looked away from Silas for one fucking second and the next thing I knew he had you in his arms and snapped your neck.
"I thought I lost you again. I thought that the psycho had killed you again." Reaching for my left hand, his hand traced over the daylight ring. "I flipped. The self restraint I had shattered I couldn't-"
As he spoke I sucked in a breath as it all came flooding back to me. Silas had let me uncover everything I was, everything that I had ever been but yet I knew that I hadn't seen it all. There were so many gaps in my memories. I knew so little about myself.
My eyes flittered over to Kol and I chewed the inside of my cheek. If there was anyone that could help me uncover everything about myself then it was him. But I couldn't ask him that yet, especially because I knew that he'd tried his very best to keep it from me.
"Where's Caroline?"
"With Nik," he answered, still looking down at the blanket.
