Author’s Note: A Good chunk of the dialogue in this chapter comes directly from the show. It can’t be helped as it’s needed to set the scene for the rest of the story. I claim no ownership of those words. Many thanks to the Vampire Diaries Wiki Page for the transcripts to the necessary episodes, which made my life much easier.

Chapter 002
I Didn’t Do a Bloody Thing
:::::
Kol’s PoV
:::::
I don’t sit for long before I stand back up and begin pacing. I’ve never been very good with boredom and right now I’m incredibly bored. I want to wreak havoc and mess with some heads, maybe kill a bunch of the bumbling idiots, hopefully before they manage to raise Silas and destroy the world. I was deadly serious when I said I like the world the way it is, and those idiots are risking everything just to turn poor little Elena back into a bloody weak Human.
Anyway I’ve been standing in the Gilbert’s Living Room pacing for hours and staring at my corpse. Talk about disturbing looking at my own dead body from the body of my older brother as the sun rises over the horizon. I’m dead and not Vampire dead, but some sort of body-snatching dead. Oh well it should serve my purposes and I might be able to finagle a way to come back permanently when this is all over.
Just then my brother’s little Hybrid shows up and enters the premises. What is his name again, Tanner? Taylor? No that’s not right, Tyler. He sneers and says, “Morning, Sunshine. You look pathetic.”
Well excuse me, but I just spent all night staring at my burnt corpse. Still I have a part to play and if I’m going to pull this off properly I need to play it right so I tell him, “Only until Bonnie's spell locking me in here wears off.” I pause and then smirk as I say, “Then I'll look different. Angrier, perhaps. Or I won't look like anything because I'll have gouged your eyeballs from their sockets.”
As he leans against the wall he frowns but then says, “My friends will be back with the cure by then, so I could shove it down your throat and make you mortal.”
Narrowing my eyes, I ask him, “I’m an Original. What makes you think my entire Vampire Bloodline won’t be cured along with me? I.e., you.”
Pushing off the wall he smiles pleased with himself as he says, “You know what I think? I think that's impossible. I think the moment you stop being a Vampire, our whole blood connection to you is broken, and your Sire-Line ceases to exist. So, whatever happens to you, happens only to you, which means I can kill your ass and no one else has to die. Although I am still debating just how to do it.”
I Vamp towards him, but pull up short as I run into the barrier, so I smirk and use the bit of information I got from Nik and tell the impertinent Hybrid, “I recommend drowning. There's nothing quite like the feeling of someone fighting for something as basic as human breath. And let me tell you, your mother was a fighter.”
Tyler glares at me as I rock back on my heels with a pleased smile knowing I hit my intended mark.
:::::
Several Hours Later
:::::
Tyler has been just standing staring at me for hours when I hear my brother’s pretty little thing flit in through the back door, but she obviously pulls up short when she sees the annoying Hybrid. The frown in her voice is obvious as she asks, “You’re still here? What are you doing?”
Tyler takes a glass out of one of the kitchen cabinets as he grins and says, “Gloating.”
He pours himself a drink as I emerge from the living room. Smiling in what I hope is a good approximation of how Nik smiles at her I say, “Hello, Caroline.”
Looking over her shoulder at me for a good ten seconds she glares and then looks back at him before walking and placing her hands on the counter telling him, “Come home. Don’t stoop to his level.”
He frowns and sighs, “He destroyed my life.” I haven’t even begun to destroy his life, but when I’m done the life he knew will be but a distant memory he will only be able to wish he could return to. He lifts his glass as though he’s toasting me and says, “I plan on being present for every second of his misery until I can kill him myself.”
The only way they might best me while I’m in Nik’s body is with the Witch’s help. None of them are strong enough to overpower Nik and force the cure on him. So even if my brother’s annoying Hybrid is correct he won’t be doing much killing.
She frowns back and then looks at me over her shoulder again as she says, “Fine. You can gloat and multitask. This place is a disaster. Starting with a horrific burnt corpse.”
She heads to a cabinet to the left and bends down taking out a table cloth. She hands one end to Tyler and they use it to cover my corpse. On the one hand not having to look at my burnt body is a blessing, but I want to see it to keep my anger at Nik fresh because while I told him I won’t end him I do plan to cause him pain as payment for his role in my demise.
I frown and tell her, “Tyler’s mother is dead, so am—is my brother. We’re even.” Neither of them seems to notice my little slip as Tyler rolls his eyes and sighs and when Caroline looks at me with a frown on her face I tell her, “Call Bonnie. Get her to let me out of here.”
She shakes her head with her hands on her hips as she says, “I will never, ever, help you.”
Again using my knowledge gleaned from conversations with Nik I tell her, “How quickly you forget the part where I saved Tyler from the misery of being a Werewolf. Or the night your mother invited me into her home to save the life of her precious daughter.”
She crosses her arms and frowns before she tells me, “How delusional are you? You killed his mother. And let's not forget that we're standing in a house where Elena's aunt Jenna used to live.”
She begins walking closer to me. Am I actually going to get my chance to make my first down payment to pay back Nik and the Gilberts all in one go? She stops right in front of me a mere foot or so away from me with only an invisible barrier separating us as she asks, “Or did you think that your charm would make us forget how you killed her, too?” Bringing her clasped hands to her mouth she shakes her head and tells me, “You know what? No. I am not going to engage in this. You are not even worth the calories I burn talking to you.”
I Vamp speed over to the lamp to my right and break it from its base before quickly using it to skewer little miss thing with it.
As Tyler shouts, “No,” I use my makeshift stake to pull her past the barrier and then use the fact that I’m in Nik’s body to my advantage by biting poor little Caroline and then dropping her carelessly to the floor at my feet.
Looking up into the shocked and, yes, scared eyes of my brother’s misbehaving Hybrid I smile and tell him, “Now, that was definitely worth the calories.”
I continue to smile as I watch her crawl towards Tyler from the corner of my eye. I’ll allow her to join him on the other side of the barrier as the only way to save her is Nik’s, well now my, blood, so she’ll have to cross the barrier again if they can convince me to cure her, which for the record I have no intention of curing her. Nik genuinely cares for her, so consider this pay back to Nik for all the times he Daggered me or for planning to Dagger me again.
She’s crying and repeating, “Oh my God, Oh my God,” over and over. When she reaches Tyler he helps her stand and then leads her to another couch.
He looks at her and tells her, “Hey, hey. Look at me. Look at me.” When she does he emphatically states, “I can fix this.”
With tears in her eyes she shakes her head and asks the obvious question, “How? The only thing that can heal me is his blood! Oh my god...”
He continues to look her in the eye as he says, “I know. I’ll fix it.”
She just nods so he stands and turns to face me before telling me what I already know, what I’m counting on, “She’ll die if you don’t heal her.”
Nodding I tell him, “Okay,” before I bite into my wrist and hold my arms up and out towards them palms up and tell him, “Beg me to save her life.”
He frowns and takes a step closer as he asks, “Is this what you want? To remind me that I’m powerless against you?” I smile as it’s a good start. My smile widens as he continues the thought, “Fine. You win. I’m nothing. Now save her. Please.”
I smirk and lean towards him with my hand to my ear as I tell him, “I’m sorry, Mate, I didn’t quite catch that.”
He sighs but takes another step closer and says, “Please.”
My smirk turns into a smile as I lead him, “Please…”
Frowning he tells me what he knows I want to hear, “Please save her life.”
My smile fades a little as I tell him, “See now I think you’re just telling me what I want to hear.” I smile a not nice smile and continue, “I mean, you did call me pathetic earlier, and wouldn't it be more pathetic of me to help now, knowing that hours ago, you announced your plan to kill me in a manner in which you're still debating because you want it to have a certain amount of flair?” When I see him frown I tell him, “I'm just asking.”
He sighs yet again but tells me, “I’ll be your slave again. I’ll do whatever you want. Just help her.”
If I were my brother that might actually sway me but I’m not Nik and although Tyler and Caroline don’t and can’t know that I decide to stick to my course and tell him with some satisfaction creeping into my voice, “No.”
His face falls in a manner that is wholly pleasing to me, but then in a flat voice with glassy eyes Caroline says, “Get me out of here. I can’t even look at him.”
I watch dispassionately as he immediately turns and helps her up and together, with her leaning heavily against him, they walk through the door and out of the house, and once again I’m left all alone with my burnt body as my only company. Although at least this time I’m covered up so I don’t have to stare at my charred remains all day long.
I have no idea how many hours pass but the sun has set and risen once and is now once again making its way towards the Western Horizon as I sit on one of the couches in the Gilbert’s living room incredibly bored. I smile when I hear Tyler return. I stand and turn to face him as he lays Caroline down on the floor just inside the barrier and then quickly moves back outside of it before he tells me, “You want to be in control, Klaus? Here, now you get to be in control of her life. If you want her to die, fine, but then you can sit here and watch her die yourself.”
He promptly leaves probably figuring that my brother’s soft spot for young Caroline will allow her to convince me to save her. Too bad for them I’m not Nik. I approach her and squat down beside her telling her, “Nothing personal Darling. If I cure you, that means victory for him. Don’t worry, it won’t be long now.”
I decide to at least give her a little comfort, so I pick her up and deposit her on the couch then I move to lean against the wall to watch her die. She lays there gasping for breath. As her gasps grow more pronounced she tells me, “If you don’t feed me your blood, I’ll die.”
Without looking at her I nod just slightly and tell her, “Then you’ll die, and Tyler will have learned his lesson the hard way.”
She frowns as she gasps again then asks, “How could you do this to him? To his mom? To me?”
I smile that not nice smile again and tell her, “I’m a thousand years old. Call it boredom.”
Still frowning and gasping for air she really doesn’t need she says, “I don’t believe you.”
I smile wider and finally look at her before telling her, “Fine, then maybe it’s because I’m pure evil, and I can’t help myself.”
She shakes her head slightly and tells me, “It’s because you were hurt, which means that there is a part of you that is Human.”
I was hurt? So far as she knows her friends killed two of my brothers and she says I was hurt as though they hurt my feelings by not inviting me to a party everyone else was invited to. I have to hand it to her though, she is far more manipulative than I gave her credit for still because I’m trapped here and bored I ask her, “How could you possibly think that?”
She frowns as she tells me, “Because I've seen it. Because... I've caught myself wishing that I could forget all the horrible things that you've done.”
I frown though I’m impressed by the lengths she would go to save herself yet I ask, “But you can’t, can you, Darling?”
Her frown deepens as she obviously thinks something over then she says, “That’s the second time today that you’ve called me Darling. In all the months I’ve known you you’ve called me Luv a million times but you’ve never called me Darling.”
I smile as I watch the realization blossom in her eyes, “But Elena said Kol uses that word the same way Klaus uses Luv, you’re not Klaus. You’re Kol. How? What have you done to Klaus?”
I chuckle and tell her, “Darling, don’t act as though you actually care what happens to my dear old brother. You only act as though you care when it serves your purposes like just now you admitting to wishing you could forget the things he’s done implying that you have feelings for him that you also wish you could forget. All just so he would give you his blood and save you from certain death. Well the joke is on you, Darling, because I’m not Nik and despite your obvious non-feelings for him he genuinely cares for you, so I know your death will cause him pain. Consider it my way of paying him back for all the times he Daggered me or even just for the fact that he planned to Dagger me yet again. Never mind that I was merely trying to stop the world from going to Hell.”
I walk to the hallway and grab the mirror off the wall being sure not to touch my skin to the glass before bringing it into the living room and after righting the coffee table I prop the mirror up against the table as I tell Caroline, “In fact, I think he should watch as you take your dying breath.”
I smile as I watch her look into the mirror and do a double take when she realizes Nik is staring back at her. She looks at me and then at the mirror before she asks, “How?”
I frown and tell her, “I burned up and then the world went black and when my consciousness returned I was trapped in the Mirror. I managed to lure Nik to it and then forced myself into his body.”
Her eyes are wide but then they narrow in pain as she gasps for more breath and coughs up a bit of blood before trying to sway me one last time, “Please…”
I smile my not nice smile again and tell her, “And spoil all my fun? No, I don’t think so. Enjoy eternity wandering alone through the Otherside.”
A tear slips out of her eye as she gasps one final time and then exhales for the last time before turning Grey and desiccating.
I smile and walk in front of the mirror and after burning his crestfallen face into my memory for all time I tell Nik, “There, now we’re even.”
I have a plan to execute, but I don’t want Nik to know how this all works, so I pick the mirror back up and return it to its spot on the wall before returning to the living room and sitting beside Caroline’s corpse. I touch her bare arm and force myself inside her body, which takes considerably less effort than it did when I took over Nik’s body, probably because her essence is no longer inside her body. Despite her eyes being closed I can still see as Nik returns to his body and looks around warily before he asks, “Kol?”
Obviously I don’t answer, so his focus shifts to his dead love lying beside him. He brushes his hand against her face pushing an errant curl away from her eyes as he says in a low pained voice, “Oh Luv, I’m sorry. I never wanted this for you. If I could have, I would have saved you. And there’s the rub. The first time in almost 900 years that I allowed myself to care and my feeling for you got you killed by my own venom. I wish—”
He doesn’t finish his wish but I can guess what his wish is as he then just sits, and I wait for the Gilberts to return home, so I can jump into my next victim. A few hours later Caroline’s phone rings in her jean pocket so Nik fishes it out of her pocket and looks at the caller ID. He frowns then takes a deep breath schooling his features and pushing the send button before putting the phone to his ear and saying in a sing-song-voice, “Caroline’s phone.”
Even though the body I’m possessing is dead I can hear Elena’s slightly panicked voice as she says, “Klaus, what have you done to Caroline?”
He frowns and tells her, “I didn’t do a bloody thing to her, Kol on the other hand possessed me and bit her before forcing me to watch as she died.”
I want to laugh as she says with some force, “Bullshit, we all watched as Jeremy killed Kol, so if Caroline is dead from your bite then it was you who did it, so don’t try to pass the blame.” She pauses and then asks, “Did you really kill her? Is she really dead?”
He doesn’t answer so a moment later she says, “I can’t believe I lost two friends in as many hours.”
I’d sit up straight at that if I could, and I smile to myself as Nik does in fact sit up straighter before he asks, “What other friend did you lose?”
Elena sighs and then admits, “Another member of the Five showed up and fed Bonnie to Silas before feeding him the cure and killing him.”
Klaus stands as he asks, “So Silas and the cure are no more?”
Even I can hear the frown in her voice as she says, “Yes to both.”
Nik smiles and asks, “And Bonnie is also no more?”
She sounds very small as she says, “Yes.”
He walks to where the barrier was and waves his hand smiling wider as his hand moves beyond the barrier unhindered. He smirks and tells her, “Then it’s been fun chatting but I need to go. People to see, murders to plan, you understand I’m sure.”
Then he hangs up on her and drops Caroline’s phone on the coffee table before striding purposefully out of the Gilbert house, and then I wait for the Calvary to arrive and discover their friend’s body.
