"Kol" Claire whispers. She dashes away from the stall door and straight into his arms. She clings onto him as tightly as she can. "Don't ever do that again" Claire whispers.
"I'm sorry, darling" Kol mutters burying his head into her neck. "I have to make sure you're safe" They fall into a peaceful silence. Very reluctantly, Claire pulls away but only enough to kiss his lips. Kol speeds them towards the nearest wall, scaring the shit out of some poor horse, and deepens the kiss.
"I missed you" She says looking into his eyes. Her hands slide down his face to his chest. His hands brush along her growing stomach.
"I missed you both" He whispers. She smiles softly. He gives her another kiss. Her hands dart to his hair, pulling him as close as she possibly can.
"You have to call Damon off" She whispers with her eyes closed. She can feel him tense. She clings onto him but he escapes her grip nonetheless.
"I knew they had gotten to you, I knew it" He snapped marching away from her.
"Kol, please talk to me" Claire begged walking towards him. "I believe you, I believe Silas is real" This gets him to freeze. He turns to her, his eyebrows frowned.
"You do?" He questions doubtfully. Claire nods.
"I believe you have every right to be afraid, I am too." Kol relaxes slightly. "But that doesn't give you a right to just take matters into your own hands, to go out on your own. We're a family and we work through our problems together. Don't shut me out Kol, talk to me. Let's figure this out."
"The only thing we can do to keep our family safe is to make sure Silas is never found. That means Jeremy has to die."
"No, I don't believe that" Claire shakes her head. "There has to be another way" Kol speeds up to her and gently takes her face in his hands.
"As long as people search for the cure, as long as the map is available, Silas can be resurrected and you will be in danger. I will not risk your safety, our child's safety, so my brother can make hybrids and Rebekah can have some fantasy she might not truly want." Kol growls lowly.
"So we convince them to give up the search. Nobody has to die, please, Kol" Claire begs. "I owe Jeremy my life." Kol tenses. "If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here. He's helped me through my times of need and I've helped him through his. Please spare his life, for me." She begs.
"I would do anything for you" He whispers nuzzling his head in her neck. He holds onto her tightly. She relaxes in his grip and hugs him. "But not this." He adds reluctantly. She tenses in his arms and her heart drops. "I'm so sorry, my love, but as long as Jeremy is alive you are in danger"
"Kol" Claire whimpers. She holds onto him as tightly as she can but she's no match for his strength. "Please" She whispers as he back away from her.
"I'm sorry, love... I hope you forgive me but I'd rather have you alive then have your forgiveness." He said before leaving.
"Kol!" She shouted but he was already out of sight. "Damn it" She whispers covering her mouth as tears came to her eyes.
