Chapter 9 - "Yeah, i wonder why!"

Mariposa had managed to convince Kol to join her in going back to Mystic Falls, and she did recall there was something going on in the town, maybe at the Grill. She had seen a flyer for it, but couldn't remember what it said for the life of her.

Mariposa climbed into her car and waited for Kol, tapping the wheel in a made up beat. Kol was taking forever and she was growing impatient. "Kol, come on!" She complained. "What are you doing?"

Kol walked out the house and closed the door behind him, and put a bag in the back and got into the car. "Patience, darling!" Kol told her before he kissed her and closed the car door. Mariposa rolled her eyes at the vampire before she started the car up and backed off the front of Kol's house and began to head for Mystic Falls. "Can I ask you a question?" He asked as soon as they were on the road.

"Sure!" She answered.

"Will you ever love anyone other than me?" Kol asked her softly. "Like, say if i'm daggered or something, would you move on and love someone else, or would you wait for me?" Mariposa furrowed her brows. "Just wondering!"

"How could you even ask that, Kol?" She asked him softly. "I love you and will only love you. I wouldn't move on if you were daggered. I would wait for you, no matter how long you're daggered for, I'd wait for you." She looked over at him. "No one, and I mean no one, would ever gain my attention more than you do. I've loved you for a thousand years, no one will be able to top that, ever." She promised him before she looked back to the road and let one hand grab his hand and squeezed it as she rubbed her thumb over his knuckles softly.

"I just wonder, you know!" Kol told her. "Klaus has a habit of daggering us for centuries at a time, I wondered if you'd wait or you'd move on while I'm temporarily gone!"

"Well, I wouldn't move on!" Mariposa told him before she pulled his hand up to her mouth and kissed his knuckles softly as she continued to drive.

Mariposa pulled up outside the Mikaelson manor and they both got out, but Kol pulled her back towards the car and pushed her against the car before he began to kiss her, but she pushed him off. "Stop, your brother will be able to hear!" She giggled lowly.

"And?" Kol asked her with a raised brow.

"And, you being here is supposed to be a surprise!" She said before she grabbed his hand and pulled him into the manor, so they could greet Klaus, who was in his painting room.

Kol and Mariposa creeped down towards the room where Klaus was, and they grinned at each other before they walked in. "Nice painting!" Mariposa commented as she looked at it. "It looks like a giant snowflake!"

Klaus turned round to face her, but looked shocked to see his little brother accompanying her. "Kol?" Klaus asked in shock, before he looked to Mariposa. "How'd you manage to get him down here? He hates this place. How on earth did you convince him?"

"You don't want to know!" Mariposa told him with a small smirk, while Kol wrapped his arm around her shoulders, who also had a smirk on his face. Klaus looked between his brother and Mariposa, and pulled a disgusted face.

"Oh, god!" He complained. "I wish I never asked now!"

"I also wish you never asked that!" Stefan's voice came from behind them as he evidently joined them. He looked to the painting. "Looks like a giant snowflake!"
