Final Hours ~ Kol Mikaelson

OO6 ~ Dream

'What do I do?' I ask Rebekah who comes walking into the room. {y/n} is not awake anymore and in a subconscious state waiting to die. 

'Get into her mind. Make her last moments feel like heaven because this is no way to go. We both know that.' She's right. Why didn't I think of that? 'Tell her I'm going to miss her. I know I said it to her in person but I need you to tell her again.' I nod while taking {y/n}'s hands. I've only done this once or twice but that was more to get information out of someone and not to make them feel like everything is going to be fine. But I can do this. I know I can. 

I squeeze her hands softly while focussing on her soul and her mind. I close my eyes and whisper that it's going to be fine and that she can relax. Within moments I stand in a large meadow like environment that is adjacent to the forest. {y/n} is lying in the grass, enjoying the sun while goats graze all around us. 

'How did you know?' She asks as she sees me coming. A soft smile is on my face as I take my place beside her. 'This is where I met you. You told me this place felt like home to you so I thought you would like to return.' I say and she nods.

'I loved it here with the goats and my family. But I was so happy when I got to come with you. It was like stepping into a whole new adventure.' She reaches for one of the goats and softly pets his nose. Goats are one of her favourite animals.  

'Thank you for bringing me here. But I think I'm not really there anymore where you are, am I?' I hesitate to tell her because it's going incredibly downhill now. 'I'm sorry, darling. You're not awake anymore. And I'm scared. Scared to do things without you. I wish I didn't have a brother with such hatred in his heart. I wish we could all have been a happy, healthy family.' I feel like crying again but I don't want to cry. 

She grabs my hand and shakes her head. 'It's ok. Don't be scared. I will be with you on every step of your way. And if I'm able to, I will haunt Klaus for the rest of his miserable life. One does not simply kill me and get away with it.' She chuckles at the last bit of her sentence. 

'I love you, {y/n}.' I wrap my arm around her and together we lie down and look at the clouds. 'I love you too, Kol.' She whispers back and kisses my lips shortly. 'I wish we could stay here forever. To just go back in time and be here.' She adds and I agree with her. Those were happier times. Much happier times. 

'Are you happy?' She asks me and I nod. 'For this brief moment, I am. With our life together, I was. In the future, probably not.' She sighs and presses a soft kiss on my cheek. 'Kol, darling. Stop dwelling on this. Mourn me, yes. But move on and live a happy life. There are so many things that aren't discovered yet! The world is a magical place! And to answer my own question, I am happy. I have always been happy with you.' Of course she's right about everything but I won't just accept this and move on.

'I will find a way to bring you back. Rebekah will help me with it. She also asked me to tell you that she's going to miss you. But it won't be for long. Death is not going to win from us. Niklaus is not going to win from us! There are witches in this city that owe me. And they know I'm coming to collect.' She admires my courage and strength, wishing me all the luck in the world. 

'I'll be awaiting the day to open my eyes again, my love. I will be patient.' I'm glad she reacts this way, seeming she told me less than a minute ago to move on. It proves that she's in conflict with her heart and that she truly doesn't want to let go. She's scared too but she's not showing it anymore. 

I feel her shifting in the real world, the venom now reaching her heart. It's showing on my features and {y/n} knows enough. 'It's time, isn't it?' She asks me and kisses me passionately before I could answer her. So instead I nod slightly while kissing her back and holding her tightly.  This is the worst goodbye I have ever had to experience. 

'Goodbye, my love..'  She whispers and then it's blank. Plainly blank. There is nothing here anymore and that means only one thing.

I snap back to reality and see {y/n} lying in my arms. Her skin grey and cold. She's gone... 

I hold her close to me while sobbing heavily, tears rolling down my cheeks and me screaming out her name. Rebekah comes running into the room and folds her hand in front of her lips when she sees you lying there. She walks over towards the two of us and crawls onto the bed, embracing me tightly and crying with me over my loss. 

'Nik will wish he was never born.'
