Final Hours ~ Kol Mikaelson

O1O ~ Resurrection

Kol's p.o.v.

~ Five years later ~

It's been five long years before we finally can start the resurrection ritual. We found the spell within months of obtaining the books but we had to study the spell like crazy for us to understand what it would mean to bring someone back from the dead. That has cost us three years. Finding everything we needed, including a witch took us another two years. The witch was easy but the ingredients were not. Oh, and Klaus took her to stop us from resurrecting her so it took us a few months to get her back. Klaus still thinks she is in the dungeons of the compound but that's just an illusion a witch helped us with.

But now here we are, in the basement with {y/n}'s body, the witch, ingredients and Rebekah is here too.

'This is going to be an intense spell. Please stay back and don't interfere while I'm doing the spell.' The witch explains to us and we both nod, allowing her to do her job. But I give her a small motivation.

'If you fail, if you don't resurrect her then I will personally rip your heart out faster than you can do a protection spell.' She smirks and winks at me. 'I won't fail. Do you have any idea who I am?' But I don't care who she is. As long as she can get my love back to me.

'Stand back.' Is all she says to us before she starts chanting. Within minutes, the candles burn brighter, the floor starts shaking and the windows bang shut. This is indeed an intense spell.

It takes up to thirty minutes for {y/n} to finally open her eyes and to gasp for breath. My whole world is glued back together in just one second and all I want is to go to her but the witch stops me. 'Wait!' She pushes me back and examines {y/n} first, asking her if she feels alright and if she is experiencing anything strange. She's also checking the environment if something else didn't hitch a ride with {y/n} back to the living. This is not the case.

'Alright. You can go see her now.' She wasn't even done speaking or I am already at {y/n}'s side, embracing her tightly like I never want to let her go again. She smiles and hides her face in the crook of my neck, inhaling my scent and whispering how much she has missed me while crying.

'It was awful. I was so alone! Never do I want to experience that again! I don't wish it upon my worst enemy.' That's interesting. 'Not even Niklaus?' Rebekah chuckles. {y/n} squeals and hugs her tightly while laughing.

'I do wish this upon Klaus.' She then says in all honesty. 'Speaking of, did I miss anything?' We both shake our heads and tell her that Klaus is still "king" of New Orleans but with a few changes. For example, he has a daughter with the woman who is dating Elijah. She's confused which is logical but I also tell her that we don't have to deal with them ever again and I tell her a plan I've been having to leave this city and to move somewhere new.

'Yes! I would love that!' I'm glad she feels the same way and now I can't wait to leave with her. Rebekah asks if she could get a ride to wherever she wants and we gladly comply since she was so active in helping me with this all.

'I'm so happy I finally have you back.' I say and kiss {y/n} deeply on her lips. She smiles again while taking my hands in hers. 'I love you, Kol Mikaelson. You never gave up!' She kisses me again and then lets go of me to thank the witch.

'Thank you for pulling me out of there. Can I buy you a drink sometime?' The witch is surprised and accepts, not used to people being so nice. Let alone a vampire.

'Now if you'll excuse me, I need to have some blood.' But before she could leave I pull her with me to the refrigerator and give her a bag of blood.

'I know it's not fresh but for now it'll do. I want to take you to Klaus after to rub in his face that you're back.' She looks at me with a deep frown and then shakes her head while drinking from the blood bag.

'I don't think that is a wise idea, darling. Klaus is fast and I'm not immune to the venom now. He will do it again.' But I'm sure of it that he won't. 'I'd doubt that he wouldn't do it.' She adds but I just need her to trust me.

'No, Kol. Please don't. I never want to see him again! To be honest, he scares me ever since the day he tortured and killed me. I just want to leave this place and never return.' I nod and hug her, saying her that it's ok and that we'll leave tonight.

I can almost see our Klaus free future together. Let's hope he never finds us ever again.
