The Vampire Diaries/ The Originals One Shot

"I'm afraid I've been thinking," Kol sighed, sitting beside you on the sofa.

"A dangerous pastime," you smiled back, peering over the top of your book.

Once he'd settled in his seat, you threw you legs onto him so that you were laying across the sofa. Kol moved his hand to rub your knee, giving you a solemn look. You lowered your book, putting it down on the floor, not sure what your partner was going to have to say to you that put such an expression on his face.

"What have you been thinking about?" You asked softly.

"Nik."

You let out a sigh. Kol had several siblings, none of which were overly pleasant people, but as vampires, that wasn't a shock. Nik however took the biscuit. He was cruel and sick minded, he enjoyed causing harm to his siblings and seeing Kol happy with you just meant he wanted to hurt the two of you more. You had tried everything to get away from him so the two of you could be happy, but it was impossible. No matter where you went, at some point Niklaus would find you and ruin any happiness you had.

"Is he here again?" You questioned.

The two of you tried to live a humble and hidden life, trying to keep the times his brother turned up to be distant and far between. Even if you tried to keep away from the focus of others so they couldn't tell Niklaus where you were, you did keep an ear out to know if he had been sighted nearby. If you could get out of town before he knew you were there, it helped to keep your trail winding and harder for him to catch up on.

"Not as far as I know," he stated. "But there's only one thing I can think of that is left to get our happy ending. There isn't anything else we can do to survive his tyranny."

"What are you thinking Kol?" You asked.

You were pretty certain you knew what he would say, and you dreaded it. It wasn't a right idea, it would just make you stoop down to the level of Niklaus.

"He would kill us in seconds Y/N, you know that. He is ruthless, maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing to get there first. It'd save many people suffering at his hands," he shrugged.

You shook your head. "We may be vampires, but we aren't murderers. We will think of an alternative Kol, I promise you."
