Brightened Days [Kol Mikaelson]

Trouble • TWENTY EIGHT

"Hard to breathe when you lose control.
Hard to live with the words unspoken.
I walk away, cause I got no home.
Empty hole and my body's shaking."

Trouble

I stared at Katherine, raising an eyebrow. She leaned back in her chair, pursing her lips and crossing her arms over her chest. "You really want to ruin Elena Gilbert's life?" She asked, narrowing her eyes on me like she didn't believe me.

"No. I want to destroy her. I want to ruin Bonnie's life. And I want to kill Jeremy."

"And what's in it for me?"

"The cure."

"Why would I want that?" She scoffed.

"Because at the crack of dawn I met with Klaus. I brought him the sword that helps read the map that is on Jeremy Gilbert's skin. The one they're following by guidance of Shane. We have the directions to get to the cure without Shane's help. And also, we're the only ones who know there is only one cure. Now, Klaus has promised you, your freedom from him, if you help me bring him the cure so it cannot be used on him," I explained.

"What's he going to do with it?"

"Make sure Elena takes it so he can create hybrids. So human Elena gets to be nothing but his blood bag. Because her house will be burned to the ground and her brother will be dead. Caroline is no longer her friend, Bonnie will be suffering herself so she won't be helping her."

"You're evil," she said.

"You're one to talk."

"What about Damon and Stefan?"

"They'll be Klaus' problem. He can handle them."

"And what are you going to do after you got all your revenge?" She asked and I shrugged.

"Live my life to the fullest like Kol would've wanted. Starting with getting the hell out of town."

"Alright, I'm in," she smiled, holding her hand out. I smirked and placed my hand in hers. 'Lottie's Revenge Plan' was set in motion. Then I can focus on my next two life plans: 'My Bright Future' and 'Get Kol Back.'

"So, apparently, the only people on this island we have found are Rebekah, Stefan, and Elena. Where the hell are the rest of them?" Katherine hissed.

"I don't know. We're a day behind them."

"Yeah, but why would the important ones leave the desperate for the cure ones?"

"Maybe because we're not the only ones on the island," I emphasized.

"Again, with this? We're in the middle of nowhere, Polly Pocket. It's us, the Mystic Falls Brady Bunch, sexy Stefan, and the nutty professor. Other than that, there is no one else is on this Nova Scotia adjacent bullshit island."

"Then who started the fire when I was getting more firewood if it wasn't you, Bitchy Red Riding Hood?" I retorted. We got here late last night and decided to sleep. I wanted a fire to keep warm. We both grabbed firewood, when we tried to start the fire nothing happened. When I went for more and Katherine went to spy on everyone, the fire got lit. Somehow. It was roaring by the time I got there and Katherine showed up maybe twenty minutes later. And all morning, it felt like I was being watched. Which wasn't a nice feeling.

"Maybe you should've waited a little longer and then you would've seen you did get your fire started yourself. Even if there was other people on this godforsaken island, why would they help instead of kill you?"
