Chapter 005
My Loyalty Is Now Yours
:::::
Elijah’s PoV
:::::
I’ve been waiting in this small town in Pennsylvania for Katerina to call and inform me that she has managed to get her hands on the cure for a week now. I’ve got a bad feeling something has happened. When I heard Kol is dead I thought perhaps that was what the bad feeling was trying to tell me, but it has only grown since Kol died, so I’ve been trying to reach Katerina all day, but she’s not picking up her phone.
I get up from the couch in the apartment she keeps here and button my jacket as I walk to the door. When I open it my eyes open wide as I find Damon and Elena on the other side about to knock.
Schooling my features, I hide my surprise and ask, “Well, to what do I owe this unexpected visit?”
Damon, rude as always, pushes his way inside as he says, “We need to talk.”
Figuring this is about Katerina I ask, “Where is Katerina?”
The shock on both of their faces tells me more than any words ever could, they have no clue where she is. Elena’s words just confirm it, “Why would we know where Katherine is?”
Damon speaks up, “Uh probably because this is her apartment.”
I smile and tell him, “Your faces when I asked her whereabouts is enough to tell me that you don’t know where she is. So what do you wish to discuss with me, and might I ask how you found me here?”
Damon frowns and says, “I was actually hoping to find Katherine and ask her if she knew how to get in touch with you. Actually finding you here just saves me from having to negotiate with her.”
I nod and wave my hand in a hurry up gesture before saying, “You wish to discuss…”
His next word shocks me, “Kol. Uh you do know he died right?”
I nod, “Yes Rebekah called and informed me that your group had killed him in defense of Jeremy. He always was rash and acted before thinking things through. If he is dead, what do you wish to discuss?”
Damon’s frown deepens as he says, “He’s dead but not gone. He seems to be possessing people and doing things they wouldn’t want to do before jumping bodies and doing the same to the next person. We know he possessed Klaus and forced him to kill Caroline. We’re pretty sure he fucked and then killed two women while in Stefan’s body. And he killed Jeremy while in Elena’s body.”
My eyes get progressively wider with each word out of his mouth. “Well what did you expect? My understanding is that Elena and Jeremy killed him when all he wanted was to prevent the world from being destroyed. Of all of my siblings Kol is the one most prone to seek bloody vengeance, and I am certain, as should you be, that he won’t stop until he has gotten revenge on all of you.”
Damon nods and says, “We know, that’s why we’re here, we’re hoping you can help us put him back where he belongs once and for all so we can prevent anyone else from being harmed.”
I frown, “Your group has now killed not one but two of my brothers, so give me one damn good reason I should help any of you do anything except die.”
Elena has tears in her eyes and says, “Elijah, please, he forced me to kill my own brother, surely that makes us even.”
Damon adds, “Plus, he was a Hunter, so now she’s going to have to deal with the Hunter’s Curse, so that makes us doubly even.”
Frowning I ask, “Where is Kol now? Who is he possessing currently?”
Damon frowns too and asks, “So you’ll help us?”
I nod though in reality I’m more inclined to make up my multiple failings as an older brother by assisting Kol, but I won’t tell them that, so I instead nod.
Damon looks at me hard for a minute, and since he is probably the only one in their entire group with enough wherewithal to figure out the game I’m now playing I school my features into a disinterested mask. A moment later he nods and says, “He’s inside Stefan and currently locked up in the cell in our basement.”
I nod and say, “Well I might know of a Witch that can help, but first call me crazy for needing to verify what you say is the truth, but I must see my brother to ascertain that you are indeed telling the truth.”
Damon nods and says, “I’ll drive.”
I shake my head and tell him, “I’ll drive myself and follow you.”
He looks at me again, probably wondering if I’m going to try to flee, but if I really didn’t want to be here right now their being here would not impede my ability to leave.
Finally, he nods once and says, “Let’s go.”
I look around once and then follow him and Elena out the door being sure to lock it on my way out.
In the car I put on my favorite Dvorak CD and then settle in for the more than five and half hour drive. I spend the time considering my options. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve helped Niklaus Dagger Kol, a fact I am ashamed to admit even to myself. I have not done right by my youngest brother. Granted he was usually leading Mikael right to us with his bloodbaths but still I should have found another way. However, what is in the past is just that in the past. I can’t change what I did back then. I can only change what I do now.
I can admit to a slight soft spot when it comes to Elena therefore I regret that her brother is dead and she now has to suffer the Hunter’s Curse. Then again two of my brothers are dead and only Kol has found a way to make those responsible pay for their crimes against our family.
I smile a bit, Kol always was a creative soul and although I don’t know how he managed to avoid going to the Otherside or how he is able to possess people I have no doubt that he has done both things. I also wasn’t kidding when I told Damon and Elena that Kol out of all of my siblings is the most likely to seek vengeance. I know most individuals think that title goes to Niklaus, and it’s true Niklaus is vicious in his pursuit of revenge, and he’s certainly had more opportunities to go after his own brand of Justice than Kol has, but it’s Kol who has the deepest urges to seek out opportunities to perpetrate his own form of punishment against those who have wronged him. True he rarely has had an opportunity to show off his vindictive side but the few times he has it was spectacular, and this time is apparently no different.
Almost six hours later I’ve made my decision as to how I will approach this and what I should do, so as I pull into the driveway of the Salvatore Boarding House and park I school my features into a slightly understanding and sympathetic countenance though not too much or they’ll know something is amiss.
As Elena gets out of the Camaro I notice that her shoulders are drooped and although she’s not making eye contact with anyone I can see her eyes look haunted, and if she did in fact kill her brother, the Hunter, then I have no doubt she truly is haunted. It’s disturbing to see the once so bright and upbeat girl look so down trodden but she never should have planned to kill Kol, and I heard enough from Rebekah to know there was an actual plan to kill our brother and that they actively set a trap so really it’s her own damn fault.
Once Damon leads us into the house I turn to catch his eye and compel him, “You will bring me down to the cell and give me the key. Then you and Elena will stand still and not move or say anything until I have left.”
He repeats everything I just said, but then Tyler Lockwood comes out of the living room to investigate, so I quickly compel him before turning to Elena and although catching her eye is a little more difficult than usual I manage and then repeat the compulsion on her. Once she repeats it back to me I sweep my arm towards the stairs to the basement and tell Damon, “Lead the way.”
He does as he is told and soon I have the key to the cell in my hand and I’m looking in on Stefan lying on the floor looking a little too pale for my comfort while my brother is inside of him.
I turn to Damon who is just standing there behind me as he was told to and compel him, “Get me three blood bags.”
When I have three blood bags in hand I open the door and walk in before squatting beside my brother. “Kol, brother, can you hear me?”
He nods, “Yes… brother… I… can… hear… you.”
His voice is weak and it obviously takes a bit of effort on his part to answer me. I wonder just how much they bled Stefan and that Damon didn’t seem to care that by harming my brother he was also harming his own brother.
Before I give him blood and give him his strength back I tell him, “I need you to listen very closely Kol, okay?”
He nods ever so slightly so I continue, “I have not done right by you in the past, and I know this, so I am going to help you now. I’m going to allow you to possess me, but first, once you are inside me and in control I need you to find someone powerful and possess them and live their life for the rest of eternity. It can be me if you want or you can choose someone else, that choice is yours alone, though Niklaus might be the better choice as he is as close to indestructible as a creature can get. Either way you are my brother, and I will not do wrong by you today, and I only hope I have the opportunity to make up to you my continued lapses in judgment as I helped Niklaus repeatedly neutralize you, be it by giving you my body to reside in or even if it’s just to get you out of here now. Know that you are my brother, Always and Forever, and if you do choose Niklaus I will spend the rest of eternity helping you as I have helped him in the past.
He softly says, “Always and Forever, Brother.”
I nod and open the first blood bag before holding it up to his mouth. He quickly finishes the bag and has enough strength back to hold the next bag on his own. After he has finished the second bag he smiles and tells me, “You do know that by feeding me Human blood you are ensuring that Stefan will crave it and likely remain off the animal diet for the foreseeable future?”
I smile and tell him, “I am aware and that is actually the only reason I fed you otherwise I would have just allowed you to jump straight from him to me without feeding him. Consider it my payback for all he and his friends have done to our family.”
Kol laughs and says, “Will you object if I compel Damon and Tyler to do some things for me after we have left?”
I frown and then tell him, “I meant what I said Kol, I will support you in all ways possible. My loyalty is now yours and, provided it doesn’t conflict with yours, Rebekah’s as well, but ultimately it is yours first and foremost. I owe you no less for all the ways I have wronged you.”
As he finishes the third bag he stands and then tosses the bag to the floor. He walks out of the cell and catches Tyler’s eye before compelling him, “You will not remember the details of this compulsion or that Elijah was here and has helped me escape, but when Elijah leaves, you will leave and go find Matt and you will kill him in the most painful way you can come up with. When you are finished you will return here and tell Damon and Elena what you did and stand still until Damon kills you.”
Tyler repeats the compulsion so Kol turns to Damon and compels him, “You will not remember this compulsion or that Elijah was here and has helped me escape. You will think that Stefan is still possessed until he proves otherwise. When Tyler comes to you and tells you that he has killed Matt you will rip out his heart. Then you will find Stefan and rip out his heart preferably with Elena watching as you do it.”
Damon repeats the compulsion so Kol turns to Elena and compels her not to remember my helping him or his compulsions he placed on Damon and Tyler, and then he turns back to me and holds out his hand. I take an unnecessary breath and then grab hold of his hand as I try to consciously drop my mental defenses so he can enter me.
The next thing I know I’m staring at a beige wall from inside a mirror that I believe is hanging in the Gilbert house’s downstairs hallway. I sit on the ground and wait to see how long I will remain here. If Kol is smart, and he usually is, he will take my advice and find Niklaus and over take him and live his life.
I have no idea how long I wait but then suddenly I feel a pull and then I’m looking at Niklaus from my own eyes once more.
Niklaus/Kol turns to me and says, “I hope you meant what you said brother, because if you betray me again I won’t hesitate to kill you just as I have killed or will kill all of my enemies.”
I smile and tell him, “Always and Forever, Brother, my loyalty is now yours.”
He smiles and I embrace his forearm to my forearm and then pull him into a half hug. When he pulls back he smiles and says, “This is a new beginning Elijah, I can feel it.”
I nod and we go upstairs to our rooms to sleep after a rather long day. Surprisingly I fall asleep rather quickly. Tomorrow is a new day and our enemies will be destroying themselves, and I hope my relationship with my youngest brother is well on its way to being repaired.
