Final Hours ~ Kol Mikaelson

OO3 ~ Bitten

Kol's p.o.v.

I wake up, gasping for breath. Coughing and in severe pain, I get up out of the coffin and stare at the one who pulled my dagger out. It's Rebekah. 'Rebekah! Thank you!' She's the only one from my family I can rely on. 

'Come on. You need to get out of here before Niklaus sees you.' She warns, grabs my wrist and pulls me with her out of the cold room and through the compound. She stops at the entrance. 

'Now go! Don't return!' But she doesn't know about {y/n}. 'As much I want to. I can't. {y/n} is in there. She's being tortured as we speak.' I look at the time and it's just after midnight. 'What? What did she do to anger our brother?' She asks in disbelief and I tell her the story. 

'She's such a fool! She knew from the start she was no match for him!' I nod but tell her that she has to understand your point of view on this matter. 'What would you do?' Of course she understands. She has tried to come after Klaus multiple times now.

I fix my hearing on her voice and in no time I hear screaming, crying and choking. That's the limit for me. I need to save her. 'She's in the dungeons! I have to get her!' I want to start running but Rebekah stops me.

'Klaus is down there! He'll dagger you again!' I look at her with a tilted head. 'You have mine in your possession. How many does he keep in his pocket?' I ask her and then run away from her and towards the dungeons. She calls after me but I ignore her. 

'Nik!' I shout at him and he looks up from his torturing. I'm horrified at the sight of {y/n} hanging from the ceiling, with cuts and bruises everywhere on her body. Her clothes ripped and she's impaled through a pipe. 'What did you do to her?' I ask in shock but he could only laugh. 

'This is what you get when you come for me, brother! Your beloved is suffering for her crimes against me.' This time I am faster and I push him against the wall, my hand around his throat and tightening my grip around it to push the air out. I know it doesn't kill him but it's nice to see him struggle for a change. Hybrid or not, oxygen is still something he needs. 

'Let her go. I demand you to let her go!' He smirks and nods. 'If you let me go.' He says, struggling to say the words because of his loss for air. I do what he says and let him go, pointing at my girl who is in desperate need of some fresh human blood. 

He keeps his word, getting the pipe out of her and then the shackles but he doesn't hand her over to me just yet. 'You should have been more careful with your words, brother. You never said how you wanted her to be released.' What does he mean by that? But before I could think about it, he already sinks his teeth into her neck, injecting her with werewolf venom. That will surely kill her.

I scream out her name and push him away from her, catching her as she falls to the floor. The gaping wound in her neck looks already red and infected. Wounds like this go fast. 'Heal her! Klaus, I demand you heal her!' But he only laughs while standing up. 'You better say goodbye.' Is all he says before leaving and I let him. 'Please don't test me, Nik. I will come for you. For real this time!' I shout after him but he doesn't return.

She is scared, feeling at the bite mark and knowing full well what this means for her. 'Kol! I'm so sorry! I should have listened to you! I'm so stupid.. And now I'm dying! I don't want to die!' She is rambling on and on while clamping her hands tightly around me. 

'You're not dying! I won't let it happen!' I say, carefully picking her up from the ground. 'I'm going to bring you home and I will search for a cure. Perhaps force it out of Niklaus' veins myself.' She seems to calm a little after these words but we both know that this battle is far from being over. In fact, Niklaus might have started a family war.
