Chapter 7 - "I'm a monster, i own that, i don't deny that i am!"

Mariposa was given the choice of going to the Miss Mystic Falls pageant, but she refused upon finding out that Shane was a judge and she didn't want to be anywhere near him if she could help it, which she could. It wasn't like anything interesting was gonna happen at it. It was simply just a pageant.

Mariposa had began to wish she never left Kol's, but she was already here so there wasn't much she could do. She just wanted to get into bed with him and cuddle into his side, and to just fall asleep next to him. Mariposa was laying in her bed, staring up at the ceiling. She missed her pets. She missed Fenris. She missed Cerebeus. She missed Violet. She missed Sirius. She missed them all deeply.

She was deep in her thoughts when she received a call. "Hello!" She greeted her brother.

"Mariposa, you could've went into the town quietly and exited quietly!" Elias told her with a sigh. "And you most definitely didn't need to set the building on fire again. Seriously, you were supposed to be in and out, Silas' followers would have heard of that."

"Eli, I was basically attacked!" Mariposa defended herself. "It seemed that guy I had a thing for, he had a painting of me and him made, and his descendant recognised me and they planned on involving Kol in all this icky business." Mariposa said as she pulled herself up in bed. "I don't want Kol involved in anything bad to do with me, especially since this happened thousands of years before he was even born. He needn't know a thing about Silas and the danger I am in, which would cause him to be in danger too. I don't want Kol involved in any of it. I don't want him getting hurt because of my actions!"

"If Silas finds out you care for him-"

"I know!" Mariposa snapped at her brother. "But I won't stop caring for him, that'll only hurt him. So I'm gonna do something much better."

"And what's that?" Elias asked his sister.

"Protect Kol at all costs, no matter what I have to do!" Mariposa shrugged. "Silas won't lay a finger on Kol, I'll make sure of it."

"Mariposa, this is Silas we're talking about, he will go at all and any lengths to see you dead!" Elias explained to her softly.

"I know!" Mariposa nodded softly. "Which means it's good that I'll go to all and any lengths to protect those I care about most from him. Any and all lengths!"

"What are you saying?" Elias asked.

"If Silas does get his hands on Kol, I will find them, take the dagger from his hands and drive it through my own heart. If killing myself would allow Kol to be safe, I'd do it without a second thought. Better I do it myself than him."

"No!" Elias told her. "You can't kill yourself!"

"I don't want to!" Mariposa told him. "And I'll do all in my power to make sure Kol never comes into his grip. But if for some reason he does, I won't hesitate to do so."

"Mariposa!" Elias gasped. "Are you completely insane? You'd kill yourself for, Kol Mikaelson? Really?"

"Without question!" Mariposa answered him.

"Silas won't come back!" Kronos said as he obviously took the phone out of his brothers hand. "You have to go through a lot to get him back to life, it'd be a nightmare to organise. No one in their right mind would do it, it's immoral."

"If you're entirely sure!" Mariposa said softy as she lay on her stomach on her bed. "So, this Shane guy, who exactly is he? I mean, he's an occult professor who is extremely creepy, but why is he so obsessed with Silas? I mean, he even gave the local high school an exhibit and there was some bloody rock. Tombstone, he called it."
