Final Hours ~ Kol Mikaelson

OO8 ~ Death

Kol's p.o.v.

I look at her corpse, grey and cold. She's still in my arms and I've been sitting like this for at least an hour. My cheeks are wet from tears and my emotions are all over the place. 

I still can't believe she's gone and all I want is to wake up from this horrible dream and have her smiling at me again. Talking about how her day was, drinking her favourite wine while giggling about some silly jokes she heard on the street. 

But it's over. Thanks to my dear brother, Niklaus. He couldn't just show mercy. Does he have no idea that she made me a better person? Did he honestly not see that? Without her, I have no control. No control over my powers and thoughts. And I will make sure he's going to regret taking her from me. 

Rebekah is already in the city, talking to witches who could help us while I'm here, not wanting to move a muscle because I'm scared that when I get  back, she will be gone. I would never forgive myself. 

But when I look at her now, all I can do is cry my heart out and cursing everyone for not stepping in to save her. All I hope now is that she is not so alone on the Other Side. 

'Dear darling.' I whisper, carefully picking her up and walking with her towards the coffin we have in the basement. {y/n} once stole it from Klaus when he daggered me again and we never returned it. 

I lay her down and take one last look at her before closing the coffin. I have to find a witch to do at least a preservation spell so that her body doesn't start to decompose. I can't bring her back if her body isn't intact.

I go to the first witch that owes me and she performs the preservation spell on {y/n}. 'There. For as long as she's dead, she will remain like this. If you somehow succeed in bringing her back, the spell wears off and won't help her when she dies again.' I nod and thank her, closing the coffin again and see her out. Rebekah is waiting for me in the living room. 

'Step one has been done. Now let's find the spell we need before we find the witch who can perform it.' I tell her and she nods. My mother's grimoire is in my study and we have easily found it. Thank goodness it's not in Klaus' possession since I cannot deal with him now. 

'We have to realize that this could take years. We can't resurrect her tomorrow already.' I'm well aware but I do want to do this as soon as possible. 'I know. But I'm not planning on waiting years, either.' I say and scan the pages but there is no spell in this grimoire that can bring people back from the dead. 

'There is another.' Rebekah says and avoids eye-contact. I know exactly what she means and I take my words back that I am glad it's not in Klaus' possession. Because, matter fact, it is in his possession. 

'Fuck this.' I say and mentally prepare myself to go back there again. I don't want to but there is nothing more important than {y/n}. Absolutely nothing. Not even my life that I'm endangering by just going back there. 

'We don't have another choice. We know mother has the spell.' Rebekah is right so we have to go there. But perhaps we can prepare ourselves for a big fight. The revenge {y/n} wanted me to have. 

Who could help us with over powering Klaus? He doesn't necessarily have to be killed today or tomorrow. I wouldn't really mind but all I need from him now is mother's grimoire. I should be able to get it if Elijah and Klaus are distracted. How about Marcel? That twat has a grudge on Klaus for at least a hundred years now so I think it will be easy to get him and his vampires on board with this.

'How about we ask Marcel for help?' I ask Rebekah and I can almost see the colour dropping from her cheeks. 'I'm not sure if that is a good idea.' I know she has a history with him but she has to put that aside for now. 

'It's just for the grimoire. Then you can do whatever you want when it comes to him. Please, he has a lot of vampires behind him. We can use all the help we can get.'

'Alright.' She eventually agrees with me and we make our way over towards the loft he's been living now. We just have to make sure that Klaus, Elijah or one of their vampires don't see us going there because then we lose the element of surprise.
