"Soulmates aren't real Jeremy, she probably got knocked up by some guy in town, you have to do this Jeremy." Elena tells her brother.

"Shut up!" Claire holds her hand out and tries to use her magic on her but Elena anticipated it. Elena sped over to Jeremy. "No!"

"Kol... Finn." She whispers walking towards them.

"Mind inviting us in, beautiful?" Kol questions with a charming smile.

"Of course, both of you, come in" She invites. Kol dashes towards her, engulfing her in his arms. She stumbles slightly but snuggles her head into his chest.

Kol could remember all the times he's mocked soulmates. All the times he's tormented them to get them to do what he wanted. Soulmates, he found, were easy to threaten. None of them were strong enough to stop him from doing what he wanted.

But now, as he holds her in his arms, he growls at the thought of anybody doing to her what he's done to others. Murderous thoughts filled his mind as he thinks about what he would do to anybody who dare harm a single hair on her head.

Claire turns in his arms. Kol refused to release her but allows her to turn to greet Finn.

It felt like it was in slow motion, though everything that was happening, happened too fast for Claire's human eyes to keep up. One moment, she was trying to give Elena an aneurysm and the next, Elena's speeding towards her brother.

"I fall more in love with you every second" Kol whispers in her ear as they walk away. Claire grins and stops. They turn towards each other and Claire pulls him into a kiss. He grins and pulls her as close as possible.

"I love you too" Claire whispers. Kol smiles, his eyes softening but there's a hint of disbelief in them. For a moment, Claire sees the real Kol. The one behind all the mischief and deviousness. She sees the vulnerable side of him. The one who didn't believe anybody could love him, the side that didn't believe it was possible. "I love you" She stresses caressing his cheeks. "And someday you'll believe me" She whispers. Kol grins softly before kissing her again.

Jeremy didn't want to kill Kol, that much Claire could see. She had seen the look in his eyes, the hesitation in his actions. Even though he had the steak in Kol's chest, Claire could see him slowly pulling it out. He didn't want to kill Kol.

"What are you thinking about?" She whispers caressing his face with her hands. She pulls his head to hers connecting their foreheads.

"I love you" He whispers looking into her eyes. "God do I love you" He says kissing her passionately. She can sense the desperation in the kiss. She matches believing that he is simply desperate to complete the bond not knowing the uncertainty that plays in his mind. "Be mine forever?" He whispers.

"Always" She whispers back. He smirks. "Stop thinking so hard." She whispers to him. "Relax." She raises her hips, her hand dipping into the water. She grabs him and slowly lowers herself onto him. "Just feel what I'm doing." She mutters gently rocking her hips. He groans, his hands gripping her tightly. She rests her hands on his shoulders. Her head rolls, her eyes closed as she rides him.

Claire couldn't move fast enough. She's only human after all. She did move her hand to follow Elena but she couldn't move fast enough. Elena dashed towards Jeremy, her hand pushing her brother's elbow forward forcing the steak to re-enter Kol's body.

"You're pregnant... With my kid" He continues to repeat this to himself. Trying to get his mind wrapped around it.

"Kol?" Claire asks again still feeling nervous. His hand runs through his hair multiple times. Eventually, she can't take it anymore and stands up. She enters his pacing path forcing him to stop and look at her.

"What if I ruin them?" He whispers to her. "What if... What if I'm not a good father? What if they don't like me? What if I mess up?"

"Kol," Claire said grabbing his face with her hands gently. "You are not going to ruin them, I won't let you. You will be an amazing father because I know you're going to love them and I know you'll do anything for them. You are going to mess up but so am I, we'll learn what work and what doesn't together." Claire smiles her hands going to his chest, rubbing it gently. "Baby love their parents unconditionally just as we love them." She smiles at him.

"They do?" He whispers.

"Kol, you are an amazing person. You love your family, you love me, you love Madelyn. There isn't anything you wouldn't do for us, right?" Claire asks.

"Right" He agrees instantly.

Kol's screams as the fire covered his body is something Claire would never forget. The smell of his burning flesh. The pain of the mating bond being so severely severed. The pain of losing the love of her life. Nothing could compare to this type of pain. It triples the amount of pain she had when she thought Damon had killed Elijah during their first meeting. It destroyed her.

"I need you Kol. I need you to help me through this. I can't do this alone."

"You won't," He tells her strongly. He grabs her face gently, their eyes connect. "You are not going to do this alone. I will be there. I will love him just as much as I love you. I will protect him and I will help you raise him." Claire smiles brightly at him.

"Him?" She whispers happy tears coming to her eyes. He grins and kisses the tear that falls down her face.

"I hope its a boy" He whispers. She smiles and pulls him in a tight hug. He wraps his arms around her and lifts her off the ground, spinning her in the air. She giggles happily. "We're gonna have a baby! We're gonna be parents!" She laughs as his boyish excitement outshines his fear and insecurities.

Elena honestly didn't know who's screams were louder, Kol's or Claire's. Both were filled with so much pain. Jeremy looked completely horrified. He didn't want to follow through with the plan, especially not after finding out Claire was pregnant. He never truly was on board with the plan but now there's no going back, Elena forced his hand and now Kol is dead.

"Claire?" Jeremy whispers as Claire's wails fall silent. Claire didn't know when she ended up kneeling on the floor but that's where she is. Her eyes are locked on Kol's charred body. The pain is so excruciating that it feels like it's impossible to move.

Claire felt as if a piece of her soul had be cut and ripped out of her body. She feels empty. Broken. In indescribable pain. Then is happens.

Claire Forbes snaps.

Claire knew people were talking. Finn and Klaus were standing in the doorway. They were beyond angry with Jeremy and Elena. However, their main concern was Claire. They could feel her pain, to a lesser degree, through the bond. Despite them talking to her, their voices fall silent to her ears.

Her eyes slowly leave Kol's body. They move across the floor to Elena's feet then rise until she meets Elena's gaze. Elena gasps softly. Any emotion in Claire's eyes are void. For the first time, Elena feared Claire.

"Claire?" Jeremy whispers. Claire raises a hand so fast that even Elena didn't see it until it was too late. Jeremy falls to the ground unconscious.

Then Elena falls to her knees as pain soars through her body. Claire climbs to her feet. She raises her hand towards the broken door. The pieces of wood move, they mend together and close preventing Klaus and Finn from seeing inside.

Elena has had witches give her aneurysms before but this wasn't just an aneurysm. Claire was pouring her pain into Elena. She was showing Elena the pain she's feeling because of Kol's death.

"Please! Please, stop!" Elena screams on the top of her lungs. She curls in a ball but no matter what she does, it doesn't help alleviate the pain. Claire walks across the floor and bends down. She grabs a broken piece of random wood that lays on the ground. She soaks it with the vervain infested water.

"I've never met anybody as selfish as you, Elena" Claire says. Her voice is eerily calm. Fear hits Elena hard. "You killed my mate so you can have a chance to be human. Not only did you kill my mate but you destroyed thousands of lives for your selfish purpose. Thousands of vampires who lived lives like your precious Salvatore's. You killed the father to my child, you killed the love of my life all for your selfishness."

"Please, Claire, I'm begging you, make it stop" Elena cried. Claire walks over to Elena and kneels beside her. Claire tilts her head slightly.

"This pain your feeling" Claire whispers. "Isn't even half of what I'm experiencing right this second." Claire drags the tip of the vervain soaked stake down Elena's cheek adding to her pain. "What gives you the right to put yourself above thousands of lives? Above my life?" Claire wonders quietly.

"Jer-Jeremy... will... ne-never... for-forgive.. you" Elena chokes out. Claire smiles.

"I can live with that" Claire whispers before thrusting the stake into Elena's heart. Elena gasps and her body jerks. "Have fun on the Other Side" Claire stands and watches Elena's body slowly turn grey and veiny.

"Claire?" Caroline whispers standing slightly behind her.

"She killed Kol... So I killed her" Claire whispers. Caroline slowly walks over to her sister. She sees Kol's burned body, Jeremy's unconscious one, and then Elena's grey one.

"Oh, Claire" Caroline whispers.

"I want to go home now" Claire said as the numbness began to set in.

"Ok" Caroline whispers nodding. She goes to lead Claire outside but Claire does it herself. She turns and leaves the kitchen, desperately avoiding Kol's body. She walks outside and notices everyone had shown up but they were all too late.

"Elena's dead" Claire announced. Bonnie gasps and covers her mouth. "So is Kol" Claire looks down. Before Claire could say anything else, she felt her vision go black.

Finn races forward and grabs Claire. The rest of his brothers quickly move in as well. He scoops her up in his arms.

"We'll take her home." Elijah said as Finn sped off.

"We can't leave Jeremy here" Caroline said. "Not alone."

"I don't care what happens to him" Klaus spat before speeding off.

"Bring him with us" Elijah said. "He can have a spare room." Caroline nodded and reentered the house. She grabbed Jeremy before speeding to the Mikaelson's house.

Elijah enters the house slowly. He walks towards his brothers dead body. He kneels beside it. He closes he eyes tightly as the pain Claire was feeling flows through him on top of the pain he feels for losing his beloved brother.

He wraps his arms around Kol and lifts him up. He leaves the house terrified to return to the mansion and see Claire. He knew nothing he could do could help her pain and he wasn't ready for the grief and helplessness that were about to come.

*Hate me? I'm so sorry! I didn't want too but this will go towards character's growths! KOL WILL COME BACK BEFORE THE ORIGINALS!!! HE WILL NOT BE DEAD FOR LONG!! I'M SO SORRY!!!!*
