Chapter 8 - "I love you, and i can't loose you!"

Mariposa got out of her car after she parked up outside Kol's house, it was late in the night. She travelled over as soon as Chris told her. Chris told her he'd keep an eye on what's going on with Shane while she was gone, said not to worry. Mariposa knocked the door loudly.

However, there was no answer and her heart began to race slightly. "Kol!" She yelled as she banged on the door again as she looked over her shoulder cautiously. "Kol!" But, something caught her eye, a woman who was walking towards her.

Mariposa walked towards her and as she got closer she could tell that the woman was a witch. The woman held her hand out about to use her magic on Mariposa, but Mariposa used her demon speed to run at her and ripped her heart out. The woman dropped to the floor just behind her car, Mariposa waved her hand and the body was stuffed into the back of her car as Kol's door opened.

Mariposa closed the back and pulled the hand holding the heart behind her back and plastered a grin on her face. Mariposa noticed he was just in a towel, and there was still water dripping down his exposed chest. "Mariposa?" Kol asked in confusion as she walked towards him. "What are you doing here so late? Did something happen?"

Kol went to pull her into a hug as she got to the threshold of the door, but she held her finger up because of the heart in her other hand. Kol furrowed his brows at her. "I'm cold!" She lied horribly.

"Cold?" Kol asked her. "You're from Hell, you physically can't be cold. Besides, temperature doesn't matter to vampires, you know that!" Kol told her as he eyed her suspiciously.

"I'm dirty!" She lied again as she pulled a charming smile. "You've just gotten out of the shower, evidently!"

"Do I smell blood?" Kol asked her. He reached forwards and pulled on her hand behind her back. "What's in your hand?" He brought it before them both and he looked down at her blood soaked hand with a heart in the middle of it with a raised brow. "Who's heart is that? Where's their body?"

"In the back of my car!" Mariposa answered truthfully. "Just some random witch!" She shrugged as she threw the heart over her shoulder and walked into his house. He closed the door behind her.

"Why did you rip her heart out?" Kol asked her as they sat on the sofa together. "I'm not complaining, but it's not like you to rip hearts out. Wait, why was the witch here?"

Mariposa took a deep breath as she bit her bottom lip awkwardly. "Erm, it's a very long and boring story!" Mariposa assured him. "No reason for it be be told anyway, since she's dead!"

"What's happened?" Kol asked her. "What's going on?" Kol lifted her chin up so she could look on his eyes, and as soon as her eyes met his, her strong will to keep everything from him fell apart in her palms, and she found herself admitting there was something to know.

"I didn't want you to know!" Mariposa admitted suddenly. "I didn't want you to worry, you know. I didn't want you to worry over me and my problems!"

Kol sighed, thinking this was something to do with Cade. "I've told you, I'm not scared of Cade finding out about us, and neither should you. You can over power him, you're the great Mariposa Le Fay!"

Mariposa shook her head adamantly at him. "It's nothing to do with Cade!" She explained to him. "I assume you've heard of the powerful immortal - Silas."

"Silas?" Kol asked suddenly serious. "Of course I have. Ends of all time. His followers were trying to bring him back a while back, I killed them all so he couldn't be brought back. I didn't quite fancy the end of time, being immortal and everything!" He looked up at her with furrowed brows. "Why is Silas a cause of concern for you? His followers are gone!"

Mariposa let out a awkward laugh. "Here's the thing, he kinda knows of me. You heard of the joint legend with his. 'The daughter of fire, rage and death', and that's the English version. In Spanish the legend is called 'el demonio femenino'. In French it's the legend of 'le diable féminin'?" Mariposa asked him curiously.

"Yeah!" Kol nodded. "He's the woman he had planned on getting revenge on."

"Funny thing!" Mariposa told him. "I'm her, she's me!"

"But, you...you died way before he was born!" Kol told her with furrowed brows. "How is that possible? That's not possible, right?"

"When I burnt my whole town, one of the few survivors was one of his ancestors. They all swore to get revenge on me. He, followed through, and has the only thing able to kill me for good. A dagger made from my burnt remains made thousands of years ago, it's the only thing left of my body. He was buried with it. There's this man, Atticus Shane, he's a strong follower of Silas, and he plans on bringing him back. Shane shows up wherever I go, gives me these creepy stares, like he knows something everyone else doesn't, and he does. A couple of hours ago, Shane made his first move against me and had Stefan insult me, long story short, they found out that I love you more than anyone in the world and to have ever lived, and they'll use you to get to me. So, I came down here and stopped the bitch from touching you!" Mariposa explained to him as she lay her head in his bare shoulder.

"You didn't want me knowing all this?" Kol asked her incredulously.

"I didn't want you to worry!" She told him softly. "Silas is my problem, I didn't want to drag you into it all. But they planned on doing so, but now one of them is dead, and the others will soon follow after her." She wrapped her arms around his bare body. "I love you, and I can't loose you. You're too important to me, Kol!"

"Darling, your problems are my problems. My problem are yours." Kol told her as he peered down at her. "I love you and will help you through everything, even if it means I put myself in danger in the process."

"But I don't want you in danger!" Mariposa pouted into his shoulder.

"I'll put myself in danger for you, darling!" Kol told her as he kissed her head. "You know what's really cute?" He asked her with a grin as she lifted her head up and looked at him.

"What?" She questioned.

"You rushing up to here, just to see if I am safe. It's really cute, Mari." Kol smiled fondly at the devil. "The devil, was worried for little old me, and rushed all the way here, just to make sure I was alright and wasn't in danger. That's really cute, you know that, right?"

Mariposa rolled her eyes with a small smile as she moved from Kol. "I believe you were doing something before I rudely interrupted you! Why were you even taking at shower at like, one in the morning?" She asked as she stood before him.

He stood up as well and stood in front of her. "I got covered in blood!" Kol told her. "I guess you could say I had a feast." He told her quietly before he placed his arms on top of her shoulders and pulled her closer to him. "I love you, Mari!" He said before he pulled her in to kiss her, but just as he did the towel dropped.

"Oh!" Mariposa muttered softly. Kol looked down at the dropped towel and shrugged before he pulled her into a kiss, which as usual, Mariposa melted into and wrapped her arms around his neck.
