IMPORTANT A/N: Do me a favor guys and sign this petition: "Get Nathaniel Buzolic aka Kol on the TVD Spinoff on Originals" (It's on twitition). I just joined twitter in order to do this. ;)
And this one as well: "Getting Kol Back"(same page). Just found the more popular petition "Bring Kol Back". Perhaps, signing that one would be more effective.
Jeremy Gilbert was a lot of things, a loner, a drug user and most recently a hunter. But he wasn't a normal one - no, just a few hours ago he became one of them. He completed the tattoo by killing off one of the Originals. Kol Mikaelson. The impulsive one, who threatened to cut off his arms. So he shouldn't feel too guilty, right? Kol was a killer if he ever saw one and he deserved to die, after killing god knows how many. But Jeremy couldn't help it. There was a part deep inside of him that felt guilty, at least a little bit. He couldn't rid himself of the moment when Kol went up in flames. The screams of pain and probably shock were way too gruesome to be forgotten that easily.
It didn't help that he, for a short span of time, considered Kol to be a friend. He liked to refer to that time as Denver episode, whenever he thought about it. Kol wasn't too bad then; quite likable, instead. So what if he pretended to be his mate, it didn't change the fact that Kol stood up to the guys that tried to intimidate him into giving them his money. It didn't change the fact that Kol gave him many pointers in regards to holding the baseball bat correctly, time and time again, no matter how long it took until he got it right. It didn't change the fact that he had his greatest time in Denver, laughing and being carefree, ever since that whole vampire drama started. And Kol, being an Original then too, hadn't been a problem at all. No, the problems only returned in form of Elena and Damon. His beloved sister, who was always somehow the reason that his life got more and more complicated. This whole hunter thing was nothing but the icing on the cake and Kol's death, well, merely a means to an end, including all the vampires of his bloodline.
But Jeremy couldn't think like this. No, the cure was of the utmost importance and thus, achieving hunter status became a priority as well. Never mind the blood he had on his hands now. Damon didn't care. Bonnie didn't care. And Elena certainly didn't care, being the one who threw him the stake to kill Kol. The only one who really cared was Klaus, and honestly, Jeremy couldn't be bothered by the original hybrid's anguish. Not after killing Jenna and being responsible for all the bad things that happened because of him; Alaric's death being one of them. No there wasn't a reason for him to feel guilty at all. So what if Kol was afraid of awakening this Silas guy? It only meant that the man was a victim of superstition, nothing more.
Besides, they weren't friends, Kol said it himself. What was the exact wording? Ah, yes, no hard feelings mate. But we're not buds. So, why not apply this statement to the current situation. It made things definitely a lot more easy and bearable.
Jeremy proceeded then with changing into some comfortable clothes, shortly admiring the complete hunter's mark that adorned his upper body now. It still felt a little unreal to him.
"How is it going mate? Miss me?"
Jeremy's eyes widened when he heard the familiar voice and turned around swiftly. There he stood. The man he murdered a few hours ago. Kol Mikaelson. The same unsettling smile gracing his face that he had when he walked up to Damon back in Denver and assaulted him with a wooden baseball bat.
"Kol," he said weakly. He couldn't help the initial fear that coursed through his body. Never mind that Kol was only a ghost. He knew first hand that those could still inflict serious harm when they got powerful enough and he had the bad feeling that Kol might be one of those that didn't rest until they got revenge.
"What do you want?"
Kol's smile widened.
"Well, that's the question isn't it? Hmm, let's see. First of all I'm bored. Being stuck on the other side isn't very exciting and definitely beats the whole dagger in the heart for over a century thing. But don't tell Nik that. Wouldn't want him to think that what he did was remotely alright, eh? Oh and secondly, yes, how do I put it? I'm kinda pissed off, I think. Getting killed by a baby vampire and her little baby human brother wasn't very high on my agenda, you see? It was quite humiliating actually and not very fair if you ask me. I didn't plan to kill you after all, right? I only wanted to chop off your arms, nothing too horrible in my point of view, but I guess opinions tend to differ."
It seemed a little too nonchalant what Kol was saying and Jeremy felt annoyed when the former vampire talked about hacking off his arms so casually.
"You would have killed me without second thought if it wasn't for the hunter curse," the young Gilbert encountered angrily.
"Well, I can't deny that, I suppose. But now we come to the fun part of this reunion, Jer. I thought that seeing how my unwillingness of being haunted resulted in my death and your undeserved survival, a nice reversal of roles might be in order. You killed me and now I haunt you. Firm but fair, don't you agree? I certainly think that this is a nice way of getting even."
Jeremy didn't think so at all, but he had no idea how to handle this unwelcome and unexpected situation. However, he was sure that he would be seeing a lot of Kol for the next time.
A/N: I simply had to write something in light of Kol's death. It was such a devastating blow and I'm so very angry, it's unbelievable. They absolutely wasted his potential and to kill him off like this, so unrealistically and by Jeremy no less. And let's not forget Elena, who held him in place. An original, who should have been a lot stronger than her - a little newborn vampire. It makes me really mad. I really hope that he comes back to live. I don't care how. Even as a ghost would be acceptable. I wanted a little more inside to his character and now I'm greatly disappointed by this turn of events. It wasn't unexpected, no, but dreadfully done. He should have had a more dignified death. Hope you guys agree with me. ;)
Klaus, all I can say to you: GET EVEN!
Well, I hope this piece of work wasn't too bad. English isn't my mother language and writing in it isn't as easy as I would have liked. I feel like I did him (Kol) no justice, but I'm afraid that I cannot do better at this moment. I will certainly miss him and I hope that his fan base will not die with his death.
