A View to Kill

I was intending to listen to Kol and finding Elijah but something stopped me.

I had a bad feeling about all of this.

I tried to ignore it, having given Kol my word. However, I knew I had to break it when I received a text from Klaus.

Kol in danger

Gilbert House

Now, I knew from Rebekah that Klaus wanted to dagger him to get rid of the compulsion on Damon. But no one talked about actually killing him!

I knew I was right when I told Kol they'd never stop for the cure. I didn't want him to die.

I found Klaus right outside the Gilbert house, my breathing was heavy in my panic.

Before neither of us could say something, there was a scream coming from inside the house.

Kol.

We vamp sped toward the door which was wide open. The sight led directly to the kitchen where we saw Jeremy spraying water on Kol, which seemed to be laced with vervain by how my cousin's skin was burning and smoking out.

My eyes widened in alarm when I saw Elena throw a stake to Jeremy. But not ordinary stake.

"NO!" I exclaimed in horror when Jeremy stabbed Kol through the heart with it.

Kol screamed, bursting into flames, staggering through the kitchen, falling to the floor, dead.

Klaus was in shock, angry and upset as he held me standing as I began to cry in horror and anger, almost falling to my knees.

Jeremy seemed to hear me or maybe sense me because he looked toward where me and Klaus stood at the doorway, eyes softening in what seemed guilt, seeing the way I cried for Kol, flinching at my crying.

Tears streamed down my cheeks as Klaus continued keeping me standing.

Elena noticed Jeremy wasn't looking at Kol's body, following his gaze toward us.

"What did you do?" Klaus asked angrily, holding me close.

Jeremy tried to meet my eyes.

I couldn't stop seeing my cousin's body.

"We didn't have a choice" Elena defended. "He was trying to cut off Jeremy's arm!"

"Lies!" I snapped, looking toward her hatefully. "He never would've gotten inside if you hadn't have set a trap for him!"

"Klaus said he was going to put him down too" Elena told me.

Klaus was furious, "I was going to make him suffer on my terms!" he let go of me, seeing as I already steadied myself. I was angry at everyone inside this house. "I'm going to burn this house to the ground. And then, when you try to flee for your lives, I'll kill you both without blinking"

"You kill us, you'll never get to the cure" Jeremy told him. "You'll never be able to make any more hybrids"

"You really think I care for an instant about my bloody hybrids?" Klaus snapped. "I want the cure so I can destoy it. I would've killed you all the second we dug it up, but now I'm just gonna watch you burn instead"

"And you forget I'm already invited in" I said darkly, taking a step forward, the barrier not stopping me.

I remember the time when I was first invited. It was when Elijah and I made the deal with Elena about keeping Klaus as far away possible, before she became a vampire.

Elena fearfully stepped back, but I noticed the way she quickly pulled out the oak stake from Kol's body.

Jeremy noticed that too, shaking his head. "Don't"

I heard Klaus behind me cry out in pain, whirling around, seeing him on his knees as Bonnie walked in. As always, when she tried using magic on me and failing, she looked frustrated.

Bonnie still looked toward Jeremy, "Invite him in. Do it!"

I ignored her and turned toward Elena, about to rush to kill her, seeing Jeremy standing in front of me, his eyes wide in guilt.

"I'm sorry" Jeremy said as he plunged a stake to my chest as he turned to Bonnie and Klaus, "Come in"

I stared at Jeremy fearfully, believing he stabbed me with the oak stake too. But as I looked down, I noticed it was a normal piece of wood, my knees giving up on me as Jeremy caught me, vaguely listening to Bonnie instructing Elena on what to do.

"I hate you" I managed to gasp out, as the world turned black as I died.

Jeremy gently put me in the ground, missing his flinch when I told him I hated him.
