Chapter 11 - "Kol isn't an idiot, so don't call him one!"

Chris had found out Klaus had turned a bar full of people and had told Kol and Mariposa that they were for Jeremy so he could complete his hunter's mark, which neither of them wanted. Chris had decided to stay home while the other two went to the bar, figuring they wanted to do it together.

Mariposa and Kol were walking towards the bar together, and Kol has his arm around her and pulled her closer to him. "Silas won't come back, Mari. I promise you. As long as I'm around, Silas will stay buried." Kol promise her as he kissed her forehead.

Mariposa smiled contently at his comment and pulled her arms around his body and hugged him tightly. "You know, you don't have to protect me as much as you are!" She told him.

"I know!" He told her. "I know I don't have to, I want to! I'm going to protect you from Silas like you're going to protect me from Silas. Don't even try to deny that you are, I know you're protecting me from him."

"Well, that's because I love you!" Mariposa whispered before she kissed his cheek as the bar came into their line of sight.

"And I love you too!" Kol told her as they got closer and closer to the bar. "I've loved you for a thousand years, that will never change, Mari!" He told her as he opened the bar door for her.

Mariposa walked through the opened door after she sent a flirtatious smile his way, making him smirk at her before he followed her in, and grabbed her hips and pulled her back into him before he kissed at her neck. "God, you're so beautiful!" He told her.

Mariposa spun round and held his face in her hands. "And you, Kol Mikaelson, are so bloody handsome!" She said before she went on her tip toes and pressed a kiss to his lips, and when they broke apart they saw all the newly turned vampires. All the vampires glared at the two of them hungrily.

"Hello, darlings!" Mariposa greeted them sweetly before the vampires all hissed at her and Kol in sync.

Damon and Jeremy walked into the bar where the newly turned vampires were supposedly in and waiting for them, they were going to kill every last vampire to complete the map tattooed on Jeremy's body. However, the pair of them were shocked to find no vampire in sight. The whole bar was eerily quiet, except for the music playing from the jukebox, and it was covered in blood.

"Something's not right!" Damon told the hunter as they walked further into the bar.

The two of them followed the trail of blood that went from the front of the bar, all the way to the back, and lead into the refrigerated room. Once in the room, their eyes landed on the pile of dead vampires before them. "Looks like we're gonna have to find some new vampires." Damon said before he looked down at the pile. "What a waste!"

"What the hell happened?" Jeremy asked the vampire.

"We confess!" An accented voice said from behind them. "We did it." They spun around to see Kol with his hands raised with a bottle of alcohol in his hands, with Mariposa at his side with a small smirk and a bottle of alcohol in her hands too.

"Kol?" Jeremy asked.

"Marie?" Damon asked.

"Jeremy, good to see you, mate!" Kol grinned. "Sorry about the mess. It was a little crowded when we arrived, and we prefer more intimate gatherings!" Kol said as he pulled Mariposa closer to him. "We four need to have a little chat!" He told them before he took a drink, and Mariposa also took a drink from her bottle.

Damon and Jeremy simply stared at the two of them.

"Care for a drink?" Kol asked them as he held out the bottle in his hands.
