"Hello" she said cautiously. Kol smirked, he placed a finger to his lip in fake contemplation. He flicked his finger forward in a motion of realization.

"Oh" He said wistfully, "I'm sorry, how awfully rude of me to just charge in here, I mean, you don't even know me" The girl looked around and shuffled backwards.

"No"

"Well I'm Kol" Kol said, his eyes narrowing as he noted her discrete steps backwards.

"If your here to tell me I shouldn't be speaking out, that it's against the law you may as well leave" she said. Kol laughed.

"Hardly darling" Natalia straightens her back and took a shaky breath escaping her lips.

"Well was there something you needed then?" She asked tightly, her voice on edge with a hint of unease. Kol noticed this, and grinning darkly he took another step.

Natalia gripped the counter behind her with both hands, yet did not break eye contact. Kol advanced slowly, tauntingly, challengingly. When he was inches from her, he lent his head downward to meet her height, significantly smaller than his.

Natalia tilted he head sideways, forcing her trembling body still and her panicked breaths to slow.

"You have something" Kol whispered in a captivating, unmoving voice, "Just..." He lifted his hand tenderly, his voice still compelling and charming, Natalia's wide eyes staring up at him, and pulled his thumb across her lips, listening to the pop of her lower lip, "...Right there"

Slowly his lips tugged up into a grin, a dark menacing grin.

"I'll see you Natalia Summers" And then Kol left, leaving Natalia wondering how he knew her name, and only that night before she went to her slumber finding the gold name tag pinned to her shirt. And she laughed then. A proper, small, innocent laugh, and it left Natalia wondering if that was the intention all along.

For Kol, he knew what it felt like to desire something. To want something so badly you actually hurt physically. He wanted her. The way she laughed. The way she froze up and god the way she smiled and bit her lip. Shy, determined, kind. He wanted her. It was scary, wanting something. Not just sex, but an actual person. Love. He despised the word. He despised the weakness it brought to people. He could not say he had loved. Family was his brothers and sisters thing, not his. He didn't love them. Or maybe he did. He cared if they lived or died, but is that love? Is Natalia love?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Natalia has searched for Klaus. She had looked and looked and looked. She had hunted down every witch she could with her small locator spells that made her nose bleed an body ache. He should be alive. He said he could live forever. If vampires could live for ever then she had to find him, to tell him.

But then what? He hated her. He loathed her.

Yet he he left her body in a field of light and she woke up again. How could he hate her?

When she heard he was dead she weeped. And she still weeps. But then there was Kol. He was fun and dangerous and a lot like Klaus. At first she ignored him and hated him and hated herself. She could not fill a hole with earth like the old. But as she grew she realised how little alike they were- or how she saw things in Kol she loved that were entirely different to Klaus. She saw things in Klaus to but she did not see fit to mention her old love.

It appeared Kol's list of lovers was endless.

Natalia still missed Klaus. Just like she missed Elijah. Like she missed Katherine (as vile as that was).

And how she missed Stefan. And Damon. Them she missed most of all. So much she cried. And she yelled to the lord how he could bring upon her such cruelty until she screamed there must be no lord.

What did she know? Was there an end to her ungratefulness? The lord had brought her love not once, not twice but three times and he had saved her, resurrected her. Why? Who was she to be smiled upon. Who was she.

But in Kol she saw the same broken, twisted spark in him as she did in her. And she liked it. And she loved it. And she loved him. In a cruel, wicked love they loved. Like two murderer's kiss at a scene of death she loved him in hell. And in blood. And it was wrong. It was so wrong and it felt wrong but the wrong felt good. Better than right. But not better than innocent love with Elijah, or passionate love with Klaus. It felt similar. As they all did. That is all she wanted. That feeling of life. She wanted it. She craved it. It was a sin. It was a crime. It was her and it was Kol and she did not care.

Or perhaps she did. Perhaps her ignorance and naivety cared. And screamed.

But it was okay. It was Kol. He made it okay.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Stop!" Natalia gasped, trying and failing to sit up. Kol tickled her again, and she burst into giggles.

"Stop it hurts" She whined. Kol laughed at placed his hands on her waist, still not unpinning her body.

"There you go again" Natalia sighed, smiling, "Using that unfair vampire strength to hold me down"

"Would you prefer I just tied you up instead?" Kol asked with a cheeky smirk. Natalia frowned, confused.

"Why would you want to do that?" She asked. Kol grinned, eyes dark.

"Oh sweet, innocent Talia" Kol sighed, brushing his hand along her soft cheek. His body filled with lust at the idea of his Talia tied up to his bedposts, her head thrown backwards in ecstasy...

"Kol" Natalia whined, "Get off" Kol brushed his thoughts away, and smirked down once more,

"Once you say the magic word" He said mischievously.

"I hate you" Natalia laughed.

"No you love me" Kol teased.

"Hate you"

"Love me" Kol grinned.

"Hate you" Natalia looked away, serious and acting it up. When she looked back however she felt instantly bad. Kol looked conflicted, and suddenly very anxious.

"You love me"He said, his voice slightly worried. Natalia leant up and touched Kol's cheek.

"Yes Kol. I love you" Kol smiled, a serious, rare and surprising smile that soon turned into another smirk.

"Good" He said, leaning down, "I wouldn't want to loose someone as beautiful as you" He whispered huskily his eyes looking at her pink, plump lips.

He licked his lips and looked into Natalia's shy, green eyes before delicately kissing her lips. Not feeling hers moving with his Kol stood up and frowned. He turned away.

Natalia lay on the bed in her previous position. Her arms were leant back behind her and her legs were bent upwards. She watched Kol's pacing with wide eyes.

"Kol" She said gently.

"What?" He snapped. Natalia stood up and walked up to Kol. His breathing was low and angry and he stood still with a dark face. She cupped her hand around his face and moved her lips to his. At first it was a soft kiss, only her lips participating before quite suddenly Kol's arms wrapped around her waist and gathered fabric up from the small of her back with a firm grip. His lips were crazy and passionate against hers. He walked her backwards and crashed her down onto the bed. He detached his lips from her and brought them to her neck, his rough, violent kisses making her moan in anticipation.

His lips trailed down her stomach, making her buck her hips and her legs shake.

"Maybe..." Natalia began, breathless, "Maybe we...should...uh...uh...s-stop" Natalia breathed. Suddenly, Kol's head disappeared under the hem of her dress and Natalia couldn't bring herself to say stop again. Her whole body shook with pleasure. Her hands gripped the bed covers furiously.

Her half moans turned into longing screams and her toes curled, her head span and suddenly it was over and she lay there in exhaustion. Kol came up and grinned a boyish grin with wet, shining lips.

"Oh my god you taste delicious" Kol smirked, falling next to her.

"Hmmm" She said tiredly.

"Do you want me..."

"Hmm?" Kol asked,

"...To do something for you" Kol laughed.

"Very much so" He said, "But you rest now. I am surprised you go yet another night without me taking your virginity" Natalia closed her eyes when Kol looked back down she was fast asleep.

Kol shifted in discomfort, his arousal very much still there. He felt pain of how much he wanted Natalia right then. He got up, carefully taking Natalia's dainty arm from his chest and paced. Still his sweating skin yearned for Natalia. He had to fight down the urge to take her right there in a hurry, passionate way with nothing romantic about it. He even looked at her sleeping figure as if he was considering it.

Shaking his head Kol drank some water until he calmed down. Now, however his vampire body ached for something else Natalia possessed. Something sweet and bitter. Something dangerous. Kol did not even notice his fangs retract or his step towards his sleeping love. He turned away as he had been burned and raked a hand through his hair. He had not had a drop of blood in days. He hadn't noticed. He'd been with her and that was all that mattered.

Natalia knew that he was a vampire. She of course didn't know he was an original but that wasn't completely necessary information.

But he was a original, and he could suppress his urges. It was just the predatory side of him didn't want to. He would of course. Because he loved her. He was sure now. He had become weak. Brittle. And worst of all, the greatest offence was he didn't care. And it was her fault. Still he didn't care. Kol clumsily knocked into the table, and cringed at the sound of the glass smash.

"Kol" Natalia said groggily, sitting up and rubbing her head. The covers ell away and she shivered. It was cold in her short sleeved dress.

Kol sat down on the bed.

"I'm fine, you can sleep"

"I'm not tired" She laughed.

"Kol your eyes" She said, leaning forward. Kol turned away. Stupid stupid stupid. He cursed himself.

"Kol its okay" She pulled his head towards her and kissed his eyes lightly.

"What is it?" she asked. Kol leant his forehead against hers.

"Nothing darling, I just haven't had any blood for a few days, perhaps I should go out and...I'm sorry" Natalia shook her head and pulled away.

"No...It's fine" Kol snorted,

"It's clearly not" Kol saw the conflicted feelings on her face. She knew if she said anything it would anger him. He had reminded her time and time again how he was't the god guy. She hated hurting people. And he was surprised she didn't hate him.

"I know you need to eat Kol" Natalia smiled, taking his hand.

"I don't care, I love you. But I don't want you to leave, so you could...if you felt comfortable...and if you'd like want to" She said nervously. Oh Kol wanted to aright.

"Are you sure?" He asked her, but his eyes didn't leave her neck.

"Yes-" Soon as Kol heard the word his fangs were fully out and plunged into Natalia's neck. He pushed her backwards on the bed and continued to suck violently.

"Oh...okay"

Kol kept gulping, his body moving with his sucking. With every drop he felt more alive. Amazing. Strong. More. Hungry.

"Kol"

More. More. More.

"Kol please" she whimpered

More. Kol growled. More. More. MORE.

Natalia's hands fell from Kol's head. Her body went lifeless. Kol took her limp form and continued to suck. He only stopped when he heard her voice formt he first time she whispered I love you. He pushed away violently.

"Natalia?" He yelled, tears. He actually had tears.

"NATALIA!" Kol bit his wrist.

"Please drink, please drink" He felt her swallow and grinned through wet, shiny eyes. She sat up and moaned.

"Natalia He whispered and shook her.

"Kol?" She asked,

"I'm here" he said, wrapping her body in his arms.

"I'm so sorry" He said as he pulled back.

"It okay" Natalia said, "I forgive you" Kol lay back, and Natalia sat up at twirled Kol's hair.

"I forgive you" she smiled.

"But I will never forgive myself" He said with dead, glassy eyes.

8 months later.

"You don't undertand I don't love people!" Kol yelled,

"So you don't love me?" Natalia snapped back,

"Of course I love you"

"Then what's wrong" Kol paced back and forth and shouted in frustration, pulling his hair with his hands. He threw a vase from the table and kept pacing. Natalia flinched at the smash.

"I've never known love. I'm not the good guy Tali, I hurt people! Not even because I need to because I want to! I enjoy it! I will hurt you"

"I don't believe you"

"Goddamit Tali!" Natalia stepped forward with shiny desperate eyes and tried to clutch onto Kol's arms but he kept pulling them up and backing away.

"Don't touch me" He said and pulled away from her grip on his t shirt.

"My siblings say they do not know love when they have each other! With their always and forever bond they always loved each other! what did I have? Who loved me?" Kol shouted through tears,

"Who do I have?"

"You have me" Natalia said softly. Kol looked up at Natalia and stepped forward and leant his head down to hers, resting on her forehead.

"I have you" He whispered.

"You have me"

"Always?"

"Always"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Where is she" Kol yelled, shaking the witch.

"You did not deliver us a appropriate sacrifice, so we took Natalia instead"

Kol shook his head with wide eyes.

"No, No, no , no, no , no!" He fell to his knees, "NO!" He screamed.

People remember that scream. Agony and anguish. Pain and misery. And when that witch plunged the dagger in his heart and delivered him back to his coffin without Klaus ever finding out that he was gone Kol was almost grateful.

If she hadn't done it he would.

AN: Kinda rushed but next we're back in Mystic falls. This chapter was a bit steamy tell me if you don't like it sorry. Natalia is still a virgin that might mean something. Also she at the moment loves them all the same in a completly different way. review! Love u xx
