Holding On To You

Chapter Twenty-Six

Ohh hey!!! Did you miss me? Thank you for all your lovely views and everything that makes this story what it has become!

Again I would like to issue a warning as somethings may have been changed and some things were changed for the purpose of this story. Some will remain the same, but some will not and this includes future chapters as well.

No more words from me. Don't want to bore you today.

On we go!

Kol glanced over at the clock seeing it was just past 8 and tossed back the covers giving up on getting any sleep. Once he was dressed he walked out of the room and down the stairs in search of some very needed coffee. He frowned when he saw the kitchen was empty, but the coffee pot was full. Not waiting any longer, he poured him a large cup as he could feel his sleepless night in his bones.

Kol rolled his eyes as he heard Elijah calling for him as he took his first sip as walked through the house looking for his older brother. "For what reason did you need to call me?" He grumbled as he entered the study.

"How are things with you and Davina?" Elijah asked not looking up from his desk and Kol narrowed his eyes at him.

"That is not why you called me in here Elijah," Kol pointed out taking a seat in front of Elijah. "The real reason please."

"Niklaus," Elijah answered and Kol rolled his eyes for the second time in not so many minutes.

"Just the name I want to hear so early in the morning," Kol said bitterly as he took a gulp of his drink. "I was hoping to get to at least noon for his name came up."

"Well I figured that you would want to know what he is planning to do today," Elijah said and this perked Kol's attention.

"What might he be planning today?" Kol asked and Elijah sighed. "Murder and mayhem?" He guessed.

"A bit of both actually," Elijah said and Kol sighed impatiently.

"Well are you going to tell me or am I going to have to guess the bloody answer?" Kol said he was not in the mood to be playing games.

"Since the slaughter of his hybrids, Niklaus is currently going through the motions to grow the mark on the hunter's arm," Elijah explained.

"Going through the motions?" Kol asked looking at Elijah confused. "What the bloody hell does that mean?"

"It means he is helping the hunter grow his mark," Elijah elaborated and Kol sat forward setting his empty mug on the floor.

"How?" Kol asked as many possibilities scrolled through his mind. "What has he done?"

"He has prepared a group of vampires up for the slaughter at a bar not far from here," Elijah and Kol stood up from his seat and shook his head as he took in the new information provided by Elijah.

"If he completes that mark it will lead him to the cure," Kol said as he rubbed a hand over his face.

"He is wanting the cure to make Elena human again so he can make more hybrids," Elijah spoke and Kol shook his head.

"More hybrids?" Kol chuckled though his chuckle was far from warm as he tried to understand his older brother's reasoning. "They are enough to risk the entire world for just a handful of creatures and he doesn't care what may happen to him or others in the process." Kol sighed as his bad day had taken a bigger wrong turn that he anticipated and looked up to the ceiling. "Have you seen her today?" He asked looking back at Elijah.
