"It's a beautiful night," I comment looking up to the night sky as Elijah and I leave the school for some fresh air (and hopefully a Cosmopolitan). Elijah hums in agreement as he stares at the stars as well. I then spot the limo and smile before slowly leading Elijah towards it.

Elijah grins slightly showing me that I'm not as discrete as I try to be. I give him a cheeky smile causing him to chuckle. I lean into his side as we head towards the black limousine. Before we could get to it, Elijah stops forcing me to stop with him.

"What's wrong?" I ask. He stares at the ground with pinched eyebrows. I follow his gaze and see some sort of white line (made of what I assume is salt) that goes all the way around the school.

"Rebekah, call me back immediately!" Klaus growls over the phone. I turn towards the entrance of the school watching him march outside looking thoroughly annoyed. I frown slightly feeling my own pang of annoyance towards him.

"Something's wrong," Elijah mutters regaining my attention. My eyes look from him back to the ground.

"What is it?" I wonder not understanding the significance of the salt.

"What is this?" Klaus growls coming up on the other side of me.

"Your mother is back," Stefan says. I jump slightly not expecting him to be there. Elijah instantly tightens his grip around me. I stare at Stefan slightly nervous but feeling more confident than the last time seeing as Elijah and Klaus are right next to me, and Kol isn't far away.

"Find Kol," Klaus orders before walking into the school with Stefan. I glance up to Elijah noticing his calculating gaze following his brother and Stefan.

"Should I leave?" I ask knowing that I am only human and that I would most likely just be in the way. However, Elijah doesn't seem to like my suggestion as he refuses to let me go and begins to lead me back into the school.

"I don't want you out of my sight, not until my mother is taken of," Elijah tells me. "The safest place for you is with me and my brothers,"

"Then I stay," I reassure him. He gives me a small smile and kisses the top of my head lightly.

"We will protect you," He promises.

"I trust you," I whisper patting his chest lightly. Elijah pauses for a moment. I smile leaning up towards him. Gently, I place a kiss on his cheek. 

"You can always trust me," Elijah tells me.

Not to sound full of myself but after admitting that I trusted him, Elijah seemed lighter. If I looked close enough, and believe me I did, I could see him puffing his chest ever so slightly. It's extremely attractive and makes it very hard not to stare.

"Finally, this dance is starting to get interesting," Kol grins finding Elijah and I before we could find him. I could only assume his supernatural hearing allowed him to pick up what was going on.

"It wasn't that bad," I says trying to sound defensive but knew if I hadn't come with Kol, Elijah and Klaus, the dance wouldn't have been nearly as good. Although, I doubt I would have even showed up had I not met them.

"You're just saying that because you're nice, I'm not nice," Kol points out with a devilish grin.

"You're nice to me," I point out. Kol rolls his eyes.

"Well, of course, I'm nice to you," Kol says obviously. "You're a special case," Kol shrugs. "Had you not been my mate-" Kol says gently grazing his fingers along my jaw.

"You and Klaus would have drained me dry," I state not having forgotten how we met and their intentions before they realized our connection. Kol's playful smirk dims slightly and I instantly regret bringing it up. I don't even know why I had said it, it just came out. 

Elijah growls not liking the fact that I would have died had it been any other vampire. Instinctively, I lean into him and rest my head against his shoulder. I smile feeling his body lose most of it's tension. I feel light pressure on the top of my head as he kisses my temple.

"Come on, we should find Niklaus," Elijah decides leading me away from the dance. Kol walks closely on the other side of me.

"What's taking so long?!" I sigh having heard Klaus's shout from the end of the hall without the need for supernatural hearing. I notice Matt walking into one of the classrooms. Elijah leads me and Kol inside where I see the Salvatore brothers, Klaus, Jeremy Gilbert, a guy I don't know and Bonnie.

"People are walking right out of the dance, past the barrier" Matt tells them. Klaus looks to the entrance as Elijah, Kol and I walk over to him. He seems to relax, even if it's just a little, when I stop a couple steps away from him. I give him a small smile but stay between Elijah and Kol despite the subtle yearning feeling to be closer beside him.

"Matt and I can leave," Jeremy suggests breaking the stare Klaus and I had fallen into. "We can stop Esther ourselves. We just gotta find out where she is"

"It's suicide, Jeremy" Stefan says. It felt weird seeing Stefan be worried about Jeremy's safety when he was threatening my own not that long ago. I frown slightly is brought up in my head once again. I wondered how long it would be until I would stop thinking about it, when I would stop being nervous around Stefan.

"Suicide would be disappointing me!" Klaus snapped. I jumped slightly startled to see him near me one second and across the room the next. My jaw drops slightly when I see Klaus holding the guy I don't know by his throat. "Now, work your magic, witch, or I'll start killing people you fancy" Klaus threatens.

Now, I completely understand that vampires kill people. I understand it's in their nature and it's who they are. I also know that my mates have violent tendencies. While I don't judge them for it, it is startling to see it first hand. Seeing violence on TV and then have is play out right in front of you are two different things. I know this is all something I would have to get used too but I'm not there yet and the threat Klaus spits towards the witch, knowing he has every intention of following through with it, is unsettling.

My arms both wrap around Elijah, who has yet to let me out of his hold much to Kol's annoyance. Sensing my discomfort, Elijah attempts to turn me away from the scene but unless he plans on blocking my view completely, I felt as if I wouldn't be able to look away.

Despite being nervous about the situation playing out in front of me, there's one thought that echoes through my mind and that's how sexy Klaus looks. The angry look on his face, the slight flexion of his muscles as he effortlessly holds the guy up off the ground. The sight made my heart race and not just completely out of fear.

Although, if I put more thought into it, it was a good feeling. The fear of knowing that Klaus could kill practically everyone in the room yet knowing he wouldn't kill me is thrilling. The danger, dare I say, turned me on.

"Let him go!" Bonnie snaps fiercely not looking like she was scared of him in the slightest.

Elijah's grip around me tightened. I embarrassingly remember just how in tune my mates are to my body and it's... scents. My face flushes a bright red. My embarrassment is enough to cause me to look away from Klaus and burry my head into Elijah's chest. I really needed to get control over myself when around them.

"Not until you get us out of here," Klaus growls back at her. Thankfully he doesn't seem to notice my apparent scent unlike Elijah, and now Kol. Was it really that strong?

"Ah, don't be stupid, Klaus," Stefan speaks up. "Bonnie doesn't give a damn about us. The only reason she's helping us right now is to save Caroline and Tyler. You start killing the people she cares about, she'll tell us all to go to hell" Stefan reason with him. Reluctantly, Klaus release the guy.

Stating that she needed a map, Bonnie leaves the room we were all in. Everyone else left but instead of following her, Elijah and Kol lead me back to the gym. I take the moment to breathe. I focus on lowering my heartrate hoping that it would help my situation.

"How much longer are we going to have to stay here?" I ask as we rejoin the party. I noticed a good portion of the students have left as the dance starts to come to its end.

"We can't leave until the spell is lifted," Kol tells me practically ripping me away from Elijah. I stumble straight into his chest allowing his arms to easily snake around my waist.

"Easy, Kol," Elijah instantly scolds.

"Oh don't you have suits to steam or whatever?" Kol grumbles whisking me away. I couldn't help but to smile at his comment.

"Another dance?" I asks as we slowly begin to sway.

"Why not?" Kol asks twirling me around. "Party's not over yet,"

"You're lucky I like you," I teasingly grin. 

"Consider me honored," Kol comments holding me close to his chest. Tiredly, I nuzzle my head under his chin. "It won't be much longer, Precious" He promises me.

"I wonder what it's like to be a witch," I whisper not expecting an answer.

"It's indescribable," Kol whispers back to me. "The power running through your veins. You can change the fate of the world with just a few words.. it's simply magical," 

"Are you a witch?" I ask lifting my head to look at him.

"I was," Kol whispers. "When we were human I was the only one to tap into my magic," He smirks arrogantly. "You should have seen me back then, beautiful. I would have amazed you with the things I could do." The happiness in his eyes began to fade. "I lost my magic when my mother turned us into vampires, it was natures attempt at keeping balance. They don't like it when someone has too much power,"

"So, vampires can't be witches?" I ask.

"Only special cases but most of the time, no," Kol shakes his head.

"I'm sorry you lost your magic," I whispers kissing his cheek lightly. "But you don't need it to amaze me," I smile at him.

"You're perfect," He mutters kissing my nose causing my face to scrunch up. He chuckles a bit and gently pushes my head back on his chest. I breathe in his scent deeply. "The spells been lifted," Kol mutters.

"How do you know?" I ask lifting my head again feeling even more tired than before.

"Because I'm the all knowing," Kol says mysteriously. I only grin and laugh not bothering to question him further. I lean against him as he leads me outside where Elijah, Damon, Stefan, Klaus and Bonnie are.

"It's safe," Klaus says once Kol and I are closer. "Take her home," He adds. I give him a small smile feeling happy when he returns it before running off to wherever. 

"I've got her, Elijah," Kol reassures. Elijah glances between me and him before slowly nodding. In a blink, Elijah is gone as well. I assume he went after Klaus. "How about I run you home, darling?" Kol suggests sweeping me off of my feet. I gasp quietly and cling to him. "It'll be faster," He whispers, his hot breath brushing against my face.

"I trust you," I whisper with a small, excited smile.  He smirks giving my nose another kiss before speeding me home. By the time we arrive at my house, my face is buried in his neck to avoid as much wind as possible. "That was amazing!" I laugh excitedly. He smirks slowly setting me down. "You get to travel that fast all the time?"

"Anytime I want," Kol smirks with a small shrug.

"How fast?" I ask. Kol thinks for a moment.

"Faster than a cheetah," He whispers as if it were a secret. My grin widens. "You should get inside, it's late,"

I sigh and turn towards the house but don't step towards it. I know both my sister and mother are in side, most likely asleep. I didn't really want to run into either of them. Mom's been acting weird ever since she found out I have soulmates. She keeps giving me this uncomfortable look. It's a distant look, as if she were in another world, as if she were looking right through me. It's highly unsettling. Then you have my sister... I doubt I need to explain that one.

"Do you want me to come with you?" Kol whispers pressing his chest against my back.

"I'd love it if you did," I say turning around to him. "But if you do, I can only imagine the rumors my sister will spread. It's already bad enough, I can only imagine what will happen during a regular school day," I whisper.

"You're not alone, Precious" Kol says cupping my cheek lightly. "I'm going to that god awful school with you, remember?" He smirks. I smile feeling my mood lighten a bit. "If anyone gives you too much trouble... I can always just get rid of them," He shrugs casually.

"As entertaining as that thought is, no thank you," Kol pouts dramatically causing me to laugh a bit. I kiss his cheek, my lips lingering. "But I'll let you know if I change my mind," I whisper, my lips brushing against his skin. Kol growls gripping my hips in his large hands.

"Don't tease me," Kol growls warningly. I gasp sarcastically.

"Me? Tease? Never," I whispers smirking. Kol growls again lifting his hand to my chin. He grips it tightly forcing me to keep eye contact with him.

"Keep teasing me, temptress" Kol whispers gently gliding his thumb across my skin. My hands clutch at his vest. "You overestimate my self control," My jaw drops slightly at his suggestive tone. My heart hammers in my chest.

"You won't take me against my will," I whisper trying to sound confident. Kol merely hums.

"While you're right," He whispers leaning close to me. "I have ways of making you wither and beg without taking you completely," I barely suppress a whimper. He takes in a deep breath before slowly letting it out. "So, so very tempting," He whispers leaning in as if he were to kiss me but restrains himself. "Good night, my precious angel," He whispers before disappearing with a whoosh.
