Final Hours ~ Kol Mikaelson

OO2 ~ Torture

He tries to compel you, only to fail and to find out you're on vervain. 'A vampire who is on vervain. That I get to be alive to witness that. Very clever.' You grin smugly and eye him from under your lashes. 

'But that is not going to stop me.' Klaus grabs a rusty pipe that was laying around in the corner and impales you with it, just below your heart. You let out a loud cry of pain and struggle to breathe since it hit your lungs as well. Your body is trying so desperately to heal itself but fails dramatically. The blood is rolling down the pipe and onto the stone floor. Niklaus watches it all happening and takes a few steps forward, placing his hand under your chin and forcing you up to look into his eyes. 

'Now it's just a matter of time before the vervain has bled out. I will see you in a couple of hours.' And then he just leaves you there. It gives you time to think, though. It's hard seeming that there is a tube going through you but still. You should have listened to your boyfriend. He was right. You couldn't do it, he is too strong. And now you're going to die by the hands of Niklaus Mikaelson. It's the last way you want to go. You prefer burning alive any day over this.

Kol's p.o.v.

It has been too long now since {y/n} went to face Niklaus. I had hoped she would change her mind after our little talk but she didn't and went in. Unfortunately, she never came back. It's been an entire day so there are two options here. One, she's dead. Two, she's captured and being tortured. 

It's time for me to face my brother and demand for him to let her go. Surely he won't give her voluntarily so I might have to prepare for a fight. That's ok. We have fought before and there were times that I won. Although he's in favour since he is fully hybrid again. I shouldn't think about that now, though. My girl's life is on the line. But I can't deny that he scares even me. 

'Nik! Are you home?'  I ask like I don't know {y/n} is here. Her scent is everywhere and there has been signs of struggle. 'Kol! Just the one I wanted to talk to!' Klaus walks out of the living room and smirks when he sees me. I ignore it and just ask what I came here for. 'Where is {y/n}?' I ask with a threatening tone but Klaus is not impressed. 

'I don't understand your love for her, brother. You could do so much better than her!' I clench my fists and focus on my heartbeat. When it gets too high, I can't control my vampire powers and it will surely get me killed. 

'Don't speak about her like that. She came here because you wronged her and her friend.' He only laughs and walks around the room, clearly hiding something behind his back. It wouldn't surprise me if he's going to try to dagger me again. Last time I outsmarted him and I'm planning to do that again. No way I'm going to spend an eternal in a box while {y/n} is being slaughtered. 

'Oh, but you know I'm right. You know we made a vow when mother died, remember? Always and forever? Family above all? And now here you are, fighting for a girl that is not worth your love! Would you save me or her when it comes down to it? I know the answer but I want to hear you say it!' Is he serious? How paranoid and lonely he truly is. He has so many people around him and yet he feels lonely because he doesn't trust them. 

'You know I would save {y/n} over you any day! And about that vow, remember that I was left out?' I rush over towards him, ready to snap his neck but he is faster and shoves the dagger, dipped in the ashes of the white oak tree, deep into my heart. 

'Perhaps a few hundred years sleeping in a coffin will change your mind.' He whispers, holding me tightly. The surging pain is slowly spreading throughout my veins and I can see how my skin turns to grey. 

'I hate you, Niklaus. Always and forever.' I spit out and right before everything turns black, I grin softly at the sight of a tear rolling down Klaus' cheek. I hit him right where it hurt. 

Your p.o.v.

A loud thud fills your ears and you know exactly what is happening upstairs. A loud scream leaves your lips and you tug on the chains, in desperate need to get them to break off. He did it again, he fucking did it again! Daggering the love of your life like it's nothing and not granting him his life.  

But what can you do? You're still impaled and the vervain has bled out by now. You got used to the pain but triggered it again when tugging on the chains. You hate him. You hate him so much and you want this all to be over. To just be dead since you're not getting out of here alive. 

'Look who came to your rescue.' Klaus walks back in, dragging Kol's body behind him. You're horrified by the sight. 'You're a monster.' He squints his eyes but then he smiles maliciously again. 'You have no idea.'
