You Deserve Everything That Klaus Has Taken From You

I was walking to my bedroom in my towel after taking a long bath when I realized how long it had been since I had time to relax, time for myself with no one being around. Everyone always tells me how dangerous it is for me to be alone at home and of course that isn't completely untrue. I know I'm in danger. I know my enemy. I've memorized every detail about Klaus, his face, his voice, his smell. The rest of the Originals have sort of blended together in my mind. But one thing I still remember clearly was the moment I realized that I was the Doppelganger and that people wanted me dead. It felt so unreal and crazy, I've always thought it feels just like a nightmare. But as time passed, it slowly became normality.

After I put on a silky night gown and a long, soft cardigan I tried to find a good book to read. Just as I had found one that I liked the doorbell rang. I jumped at the sound but then quickly realised that it's probably just Damon or Stefan checking up on me. As I was walking down the stairs I was considering calling them and asking if it's them but since things had calmed down a bit in Mystic Falls I felt like it wasn't necessary.

I opened the door and instantly regretted it when I saw Kol standing on my porch with a cold smile on his face. The adrenaline kicked in and I tried pulling the door closed with all my power. When I saw Kol for the first time, for some reason I thought he seemed kinder than Klaus, Finn and Rebekah and their parents. Maybe that was because he resembles Elijah a bit more than the others or because he seemed very young. But since he had without blinking pushed me to the ground resulting in me hitting my head I was scared of him. Just as the door was almost closed again I made the mistake of looking into his eyes. Then my mind went blank and all I could do is freeze and listen to his voice saying: "You will leave this house and come with me without struggeling right now." I cursed myself for not putting my necklace back on after the bath while my feet where carrying me out the door.

He was standing right in front of me now smiling at me. "I have to say, I am disappointed Elena. No pretty vervain necklace? No vervain in your system? No Salvatore brothers to have a little fight with? I really thought this would be a lot more... entertaining and amusing." Kol said in a sarcastic voice, tilting his head to the side and smiling at me expectantly. "You find it amusing to inflict pain on people who would die protecting the ones they love? Wow Kol, I have to say, I thought this would be a bit more entertaining too." Kols smile dropped and his body tensed up, "but you truly are just like the rest of your family." Looking at the anger written all over his face I gave him a proud smile. Kol stepped closer, his face almost touching mine, his eyes dark and furious. "Oh believe me Elena, my brothers already would have killed you for that."

His stare was so intense, his eyes so close that I held my breath and tried not to tremble but failed miserably. Suddenly he smiled again and stepped away, as if he was trying to be polite. "Well Elena, now that you've mentioned it, you remind me a lot of someone as well. I believe her name is... Katerina." I felt a stinging pain in my chest and anger rising in my as he smiled at me mockingly with his arms casually crossed in front of his chest leaning at one of the porch pillars.

"You know EXACTLY that I am nothing like Katherine. Don't pretend like you haven't been around, observing everything that has happend!" I said walking towards him, even though I knew there was not a single chance that I would seem intimidating to him. His smile grew wider as he said "Well, I did observe a few things here and there, and from all I've seen you are basically dating both of the Salvatore brothers, which, in case I have to remind you, is the exact same thing Katerina did years ago. And just like her, even though many people want you dead, somehow you still managed to survive and miraculously only other people die and get hurt in the process." With every word he said the urge to scream and throw things around got bigger and bigger and by the end of his comment my hands were already pushing against his chest while I was yelling at him. "OTHER PEOPLE? those other people are my FAMILY. Their pain is MY pain too. Something YOU wouldn't understand. And unlike Katherine I don't have to lie and manipulate people into protecting me, they are protecting me because they LOVE me. But that's another thing you probably have never heard of because it is impossible that there is someone in this world who could ever feel something like love for you."

I was breathing hard, standing right in front of him, staring at his unreadable face. Silence. After a few seconds his usual polite but cold smile appeared on his face again as he said "We should go." Before I could say anything he had grabbed me and by the time I gasped I was already sitting in his car. He closed my door and was on the other side of the car in a flash, sitting down and starting the engine. "Where are you taking me?" He chose to ignore me and started driving. I considered letting it go but then decided against it. "Where are you taking me?" Again Silence.

I decided to change my tactic. "Please tell me where you are taking me Kol." I said in soft voice, trying to sound as scared as possible. That earned me a look. During my time trying to survive with people trying to kill me I've learned that every enemy is different and while with most vampires begging is the worst tactic, it seemed be slightly different with Kol. So I tried again. "Kol, I know you don't care about anyone and you are probably very well aware of this but I am 18 years old and right now I have been kidnapped by one of the most powerful vampires in the world once again and as much as I hate to admit it to you, I am terrified of what is going to happen to me. But you are the only person that is here with me right now, so please don't ignore me and leave me alone with my fears. talk to me!" I begged, my voice shaking. "We're going to England. My home." Half thrilled by me getting him to tell me where we are going and half terrified by the fact that he is taking me to a different continent I just stared at him for a minute.

Suddenly dozens of theories entered my minds, pictures of strangers, more vampires wanting me dead and I couldn't help but start asking questions again "but why.. why are you taking me there? Is someone there who wants me dead too? Are you being paid to bring me to them? Will you just drop me off there with them and then just leave me alone? Oh my god, is there another curse, like the-" as I was blurting out all of my speculations and fears I realised that Kol was stopping the car and that we were parking at a motor way restaurant. After he had stopped the car he turned to me with a serious look on his face. He looked at me like that for what felt to me like ages until he said "I am taking you to England because I want revenge. Klaus destroyed the only thing I ever had, ever valued and ever cared about. My family. He has the option to create hybrids and therefore create himself a new family. Something that I can never have again. And as you know you are the key to that, without you he will feel the loss that I am feeling. Every day of every year of every century. It's not.. it's not right. and it's not fair." He looked down at his jeans when I was trying to process what he had just told me.

Relief washed over me when I realized he wouldn't hand me to some other vampire but then I realized that he couldn't keep me hostage forever. "So.. you are going to kill me?" I gulped. He instantly looked up to me but didn't reply, his expression unreadable. I took that as a yes, and actually appreciated the fact that he didn't say yes and rub it into my face. My head fell and I sighed. I could feel my emotions running wild like waves in the ocean and for some reason of all the things that came to my mind, I verbalized the one had nothing to do with my death. " I wish it would have been fair. And I wish it would be fair now. You deserved a family too. I'm sorry for the things klaus has done to you. Every single thing should be taken from him. But you.. you don't have to be alone. You can still have a family, it's not too late. You can have a new family, one that consists of love and loyalty, not of betrayal and power."

I realized that I had said a lot and that he would probably laugh at my human approach of problem solving, falling in love and having babies suddenly sounded ridiculous even to me. To my surprise he was not laughing but still looked at me, this time with a surprised look on his face. But the look on his face was gone instantly and he quickly got out of the car telling me to come with him. We entered the restaurant and I followed him to table and sat down on a chair that he pulled back for me. After telling me I could get all I wanted I realized how hungry I was. I ordered pasta with salmon, a burger and a coke. Kol was still laughing at my choice by the time the food came. "I couldn't decide okay? I know it's a weird combination, but since I am going to die soon anyways, I could as well make the best out of it" I said, starting to roll the pasta on my fork frustrated.

His grin faded and he leaned back and looked out of the large window. It had started to rain and the sky was as grey as I had seen it in a while. The deep green trees were swaying in the wind and the light in the restaurant was dim. Without turning his head towards me Kol softly said in a low voice "You deserve a family too." I was staring at him with my mouth slightly open, my heart beating fast. "I.. " - "No, I'm not done yet. I only make promises that I know I will be able to keep. So I won't promise that I won't kill you. But I will only kill you if there is no other way to get my revenge on Klaus." I was completely shocked now, adrenaline pumping through my veins, realizing that I will live."But why... why would you let me live?" Finally he turned his head back to me, looking right into my eyes, smiling "Because, I am not like the rest of my family."

I didn't know what to say, but didn't have to because he kept talking. "And Elijah would never forgive me for killing you. He told me about your courage and that your heart is one of the purest he has ever known." I was incredibly grateful to Elijah and so speechless that I just sat there for a while and then started eating again. Kol was looking out of the window again while he was waiting for me to finish. After Kol had paid we walked towards the exit. It was still raining like crazy outside so Kol took off his jacket and put it around my shoulders. A gesture that meant a lot to me. By the time I had sat down in the passenger's seat Kol realized that he had forgotten his wallet in the restaurant. I found myself smiling at the fact that even Originals lose things sometimes.

While I was sitting in the car all by myself I tried to comprehend that Kol wouldn't kill me and that I had for once not been kidnapped by a sociopath who would torture me or kill everyone I care about. I felt relief wash over me and closed my eyes. After a minute of reflecting doubt started to creep in and I realized how fast his attitude had changed towards me. Was it possible that all of this kindness was just some twisted act to torture me more? I started breathing harder as I realized how stupid it was for me to just believe every single word he said. I started searching the car for a phone, since I knew running was useless. I almost gave up until I suddenly realized I was wearing his jacket. I checked the pockets and started shaking when I found it.

I typed in Damon's number and he picked up instantly. "Tell me where you are and who took you." He sounded furious. "I'm still somewhere in Virgina I think... we are on the way to the airport, we have been driving for about an hour.. Damon, please come and get me, I'm so scared" I suddenly couldn't hold the tears back anymore and started sobbing. "It's gonna be okay Elena, just tell me who took you." As I opened my mouth to answer him the phone was suddenly out of my hands and I was outside in the rain, pressed against the car.

I gasped, tears running down my cheeks when I saw Kol's angry and hurt face. "So much for me not deserving betrayal, huh? I see how you got Damon and Stefan wrapped around your finger so quickly. Too bad we're gonna be long gone before they get here. Trust me, I will never let them find you. You will never see them again. " I started sobbing again and realized that this time there was no other option than begging for my life.

"Kol, you have to believe me", I sobbed, "I meant everything I said, and I wanted to believe everything you said but I can't! You're family has done nothing but hurt me, how could you be so much different from Klaus? How can you expect me to trust you? If any of it was real, then please give me another chance, I know that I have messed it up but.. but if it was real, if you really have that good of a heart then you know that everyone deserves a second chance. you do, and I do. Kol, I'm begging you"

By the time I had finished I noticed that I had curled my hands around his hands that were still loosely around my neck and that our faces were only inches apart. I was so desperate that I considered just kissing him, I was clinging unto every chance I had to convince him to give me another chance. I dropped that idea because I still have a little bit of pride left. I didn't want to be humiliated that much before I died. He must have noticed me looking at this lips because it took him a second to compose himself and respond. "You betrayed me. I thought I made myself clear that betrayal is something I can never forgive."

"No, no, no I did NOT betray you! How can you not get that? You kidnapped me and I was scared. Do you think I have NEVER been betrayed? Why do you think I couldn't just trust you? Because I know the pain of betrayal. I know how it is to feel like people took your strength and just broke it into pieces. But I'm not Katherine and I am not Klaus and I am not Esther or Michael, and if you meant what you said I will not betray you."

Despair hit me as nothing in his face changed. My vision got blurry and I started sobbing again "Just please, don't kill me, believe me and let me prove to you that I meant everything I said! You do deserve a love and friendship and bliss and everything else that Klaus took from you." This time he looked at me with his lips slightly parted and sadness written over his face. Then his facial expressions hardened again. "I wish I could believe you."

This time I didn't care. I knew I could choose whatever words I wanted, it would not be enough. So I didn't even let him finish and followed my instincts and just pressed my lips to his softly, wrapping my arms around his neck tightly in a warm embrace.

I hope you guys liked it! I am sorry about any language mistakes, I'm from Europe, English is not my first language. Let me know if you want a second chapter! :) I love Kol. And I really do want to believe that he has a kind side to him and that he will get a bigger story line next season. Seeing him hit Elena in 3x19 kind of broke my heart, haha. But since there are only a few Kol/Elena fanfics on this site I thought I would just write my own. I know Kol and Elena will never happen on the show because she already has 2 love interests but a girl can dream right?
