LOVE FOR ETERNITY | Kol Mikaelson love story |

PART 3: | KEEP THEM APART |

Natali spent day and night awake trying to locate Kol, but without any success. As hour by hour passed by she was growing increasingly more frustrated and impatient.

REBEKAH'S P.O.V:

Rebekah was sitting with Elena at the Salvatore boarding house and talking with her about Mikaelson family. About her human life, how they became vampires and how it all started, and also Elena was very interested to find out more about Natali and Kol.

- "And that girl that kidnapped me, who is she?" Elena questioned her.

- "She is my brother's girlfriend. They are together for over eight hundred years." Rebekah answered, making Elena raise her eyebrows in surprise.

- "Klaus keeps him daggered, as I understood." Elena stated, looking at her.

- "Yes. And believe me when I say if she doesn't find him, she is going to burn this city to the ground." Rebekah warned her. She knew very well of what Natali is capable to do.

- "She is a witch and a vampire, why didn't she found him sooner?" Elena asked, becoming more interested in Natali and to her, Rebekah seemed like she is in a good mood for talking.

- Rebekah huffed in annoyance, "Because Klaus dropped his coffin at the bottom of the ocean. That was the only place where she can't locate him. And he will do everything in his power to keep them apart." she informed Elena.

- "Why?" Elena asked her.

- "Because they are dangerous when they are without each other and a lot more when they are together. If those two reunite after a century, I have a feeling they will be unstoppable." Rebekah spoke, with unpleasant voice, "Back in 1914 they almost put Klaus down."

- "Almost?" Elena asked warily.

- Yes. I told Klaus what they are planning to do and he daggered my brother, "Rebekah says with a hint of sadness to her voice. She shook her head down before adding, "That's why Natali doesn't want to forgive me."

- "You don't want them to be together?" Elena asked.

- "I want them to be happy.." Rebekah quickly corrected her, "But I don't know what they are going to do if they reunite." she turned her head for a brief moment and looked out of the window, "Killing was always what they're best at and the thing they love to do the most. Natali is even more sadistic than my brother. I saw her once in a bath full of blood; she spoke, lost in thoughts as she remembered that sight.

[NEW ORLEANS, 1910.]

Rebekah was looking for Natali through the whole compound and she couldn't find her anywhere nor she could catch any sight of her brother Kol. She already thought that they probably went with on a killing spear, like they do every evening, but despite that, she decided to go into their room. Once again she called out for Natali and finally heard her voice coming from the bathroom.

- "What do you want Rebekah?" Natali questioned her with a hint of annoyance in her voice.

- "May I come in?" Rebekah asked standing in front of the door.

- "Yes, you may." Natali simply replied, expecting of Rebekah to answer her question once she walks into the bathroom.

As Rebekah entered the bathroom she saw that Natali was in a bath full of blood, a couple of candles lit up and placed across the room and a few witches sitting on the floor beside them muttering some spell under their breath.

- "What's your problem with Marcel?" Rebekah inquired her, trying to control the veins that started protruding around her eyes at the smell of blood.

- Natali slowly raised her head that was resting on the rim of the bathtub and glanced at Rebekah, seeing dark veins under her eyes she smirked at her and asked completely ignoring the question, "Want some?"

- "No. I want you to answer my question." Rebekah demanded sharply.

- "I don't have a problem with Marcel, he has a problem with Kol and me." Natali replied calmly.

- "Oh, right." Rebekah says dryly, "You expect me to believe that it doesn't have anything to do with a fact that Kol is jealous of him?"

- Natali puffed in disagreement, even if she knew Rebekah was more than right, "Kol is not jealous of that punk and please if you came to defend him, you can make your way out."

- "I just wanted to tell you to leave him alone." Rebekah told her, "And why the bloody hell are you doing this?" she asked, gesturing at the bathtub.

- A smile forms slowly on Natali's determined face, "Blood can have a lot of power. Don't ask how many people Kol drained to fill this bath."

- "Don't you have enough power already?" Rebekah asked.

- "If you're given an opportunity to have more power, take it." Natali told her.

- Rebekah shakes her head, she still didn't think they should kill people just because of that, "Is this some ritual you two learned on your travelings?" she asked.

- "Yes, it is." Natali replied lightly, "I can already feel the power." she closed her eyes for a brief moment, before adding, "Remember Katerina? She is a doppelganger. If I could find one more that would be fantastic. Imagine how much power their blood has."

- "Well, I'm sure Nik is already looking for one." Rebekah stated.

- "Yes, he does.. but we wouldn't be able to share one doppelganger. Only one can kill her, he to break his curse or me to draw power from her blood." Natali explained to her before she slowly rises herself up from the bathtub, blood was dripping from her body.

- Rebekah turned herself around, not wanting to watch the naked body of her brothers girlfriend, "Um.. you're not alone."

- Natali had a devilish and deliberate smirk on her face, her brown eyes were filled with sudden brazenness, "It's nothing you haven't seen before.. I mean you have the same body as I do.

[THE PRESENT DAY:]

Elena gave Rebekah a look wanting to know more and she listened intently as Rebekah continued speaking, "Kol doesn't care about anyone except for her and same goes for her."

- "He doesn't care about you or Klaus and Elijah?" Elena asked.

- "He does, but in his own way." Rebekah replied quickly, "But Natali is the only person in the world he would give his life for. She is his queen, as he likes to call her. They feed together, they share everything and everyone." Rebekah told her, her eyes darkening for a moment before she poured another glass of whiskey for herself.

⚜ ✡ ⚜ ✡ ⚜ ✡

"She is a monster, but she is his queen. And God help anyone who dared to disrespects his queen."

⚜ ✡ ⚜ ✡ ⚜ ✡

Elena could hear in Rebekah's tone of voice that she wasn't feeling comfortable to talk about them anymore. That, of course, wouldn't stop Elena from asking more questions, but before she could utter another word both of them heard a voice coming from the doorway of the living room, "Rebekah! You know I don't like when people know a lot about me and Kol. If you want to earn my trust again, I suggest you keep your mouth shut."

- Rebekah looked up from her glass, seeing Natali in front if her, "What are you doing here?" she asked.

- Natali glanced at Elena, "I have a feeling this little doppelganger knows where Stefan is."

- Elena quickly shakes her head in response, "I don't know where he is."

- "And I don't believe you." Natali firmly told her and turned towards Rebekah, "Rebekah compel her." she demanded.

- "I'm drinking vervain." Elena informed them.

- "In that case." Natali stated and moving just one finger she cut both of Elena's wrists, which immediately started to bleed.

- Elena groans in pain and Rebekah alarmed stood up from her seat, "What the bloody hell are you doing?"

- "I'm draining her off of vervain." Natali simply answered.

- "She could die," Rebekah told her, even if she doesn't actually care about doppelgangers life.

- An evil grin appeared on Natali's face, "At least it will send a message and they will give me what I want back."

When she thought Elena had vervain off of her system, she placed her fingers on her wrist and licked a little amount of blood off of it, "Mmm, the doppelganger has tasty blood. No wonder why those two Salvatore's are fawning over her." Just as Elena's wrists were easily cut open they've healed the same way after Natali muttered some words under her breath.

- "Why don't you compel her?" Rebekah asked looking at Natali.

- "Do you want to earn my trust?" Natali questioned and she didn't wait for Rebekah to answer so she continued, "Well this is one way to be closer to achieving it."

- "You want me to do everything you say?" Rebekah asked.

- "See now you get it." Natali replied with a smile, "And besides you said how you want to help me find Kol."

- Rebekah sighed, "What do you want to know?"

- "I want to know exactly where Stefan is.. obviously." Natali told her.

- Rebekah nodded, then she looked at Elena's eyes, "Where is Stefan?" she compelled her.

- "I don't know." Elena answered.

- "When was the last time you saw him and where?" Rebekah compelled her again, knowing that Natali didn't like the previous answer.

- "In the high school, that night when Klaus turned Tyler into a hybrid." Elena told her.

- Rebekah looked at Natali, "This is pointless."

- Natali pursed her lips and clenched her jaw, before she grabbed Elena's chin and tilted her head up so she can compel her, "Give me your phone."

Without any hesitation, Elena gave Natali her phone. She took it and found Stefan's number then called him, but even if she called him three times he didn't answer.

- "I suppose this Salvatore doesn't care about you." Natali remarked typing the message to him, thinking that maybe that will draw his attention, "Help me. She will kill me." she read it aloud. A few minutes later the phone started buzzing, but it wasn't Stefan it was his brother Damon. "This is better than nothing." Natali thought before she answered the call, "Hello, Damon."

- "What did you do to her?" Damon hissed.

- "Nothing.. Yet." Natali replied.

- "What do you want?" Damon questioned.

- Natali's voice hardened, got sharper with every word and was demanding, "I want to know where Stefan is, so you might as well tell me or I will kill her before you can blink."

- "I don't know where he is." Damon replied briefly with an edge to his voice, "No one knows."

- "Then, how did you know he got that message about Elena?" Natali asked.

- "He called me." Damon replied, "But he doesn't want to say where he is, not even to me. Just let Elen-"

He wasn't able to finish his sentence because Natali growled as she throws Elena's phone against the wall.

- "That's my second phone you destroyed." Elena stated as she saw that her phone got broken into pieces.

- Natali rolled her eyes, "I'm sure Damon can compel you another one." she turned her head towards Rebekah as she spoke, "Stefan is that guy you were dancing with back in Chicago? Isn't he?"

- Rebekah slightly smiled, "Yes, he is."

- "Well just so you know, he'll be dead when I find him." Natali told her.

- "No!" Both Rebekah and Elena said in unison and Rebekah continued, "You can just find Kol, you don't need to kill anyone."

- Natali let out a chuckle, "Come on Rebekah, now you're acting like you don't know me."

Then she kneels down to Elena's eye level, compelling her again, "Go fetch me a map."

And Elena did exactly that, while Rebekah watched what Natali is about to do. When Elena brought the map Natali cleaned the coffee table and placed the map on it, then turned towards Rebekah.

- "Give me your blood and sit there." Natali told her and pointed at the place across from her.

Rebekah sat and bite her wrist then poured a little bit of her blood in the middle of the map.

- Natali held out her hands and grabbed Rebekah's in order to channel her for more power, "Blood could usually be more powerful than any other item I've used to locate him. Hopefully, I'll break through anything that's blocking every damn spell."

Then she and Rebekah closed their eyes and Natali started chanting something Elena wasn't able to understand, "Kite san an montre kote moun nan mwen panse a."

Elena was standing behind them, not knowing if she should run away or stay where she is. Her eyes glanced towards the doorway that lead into the living room, where she saw Damon who was trying to sneak in. He placed his index finger to his lips, telling Elena to stay quiet.

He looked around him and took a fire iron, then he zoomed towards Natali and using his vampire strength he hit her in the head with it.

- Rebekah's eyes widened at him when she saw Natali falling onto the side due to her broken neck, "Oh my God! Are you bloody insane?"

- "She hurt Elena." Damon growled at her and pushed the map from the table, not wanting for them to succeed in finding Stefan.

Without warning Rebekah lunged towards him and hit him, making him fall backward. An ugly bang sounded as his head hit the floor.

- "Do you realize what did you just do?" Rebekah questioned him.

- Damon quickly got up on his feet thanks to his vampire speed, "I solved the problem at least for awhile."

Just a few seconds later they've heard Natali moving, too soon for a vampire that just had her neck snapped. She rose herself onto her feet and the bones in her neck cracked as she tilted her head from side to side. Her eyes wandered through the room before they've fallen directly on Damon, "Your problems are just getting started. And the humans in this godforsaken town are going to be in the middle of the crossfire." she said in a dangerously low voice.

[CHICAGO: 1922.]

When Natali found out that Klaus and Rebekah are having fun in Chicago, while he is holding Kol in the coffin to rot, she decided to go there.

The night she and her friend Anna came to Chicago, they've immediately went to Gloria's bar, where Klaus and Rebekah were spending every night. As the two of them walked into a bar Natali saw Rebekah dancing with Stefan and her eyes started looking for Klaus. And there he was, sitting in a booth across the room and amusingly looking at his sister. Natali walked towards him and when she was blocking his view of Rebekah, his eyes widen at the sight of her. Natali smirked at him, as she continued to walk towards him. Then Anna and Natali took their places in Klaus's booth, sitting across from him.

- "Natali, what brings you here?" Klaus questioned, pretending like he didn't already know the answer.

- "Klaus, let's not pretend like you don't already know." Natali replied.

- "And who is this lovely lady?" Klaus asked, turning his gaze towards Anna and giving her his hand. Anna simply ignored it, because she knew exactly who he is and what he did to her friend.

- "Well, she certainly doesn't have manners.. just beauty." Klaus stated with a small smirk on his face.

- "Or she just doesn't want to talk with you." Natali told him.

- "Tell me, love, what lies did Natali tell you?" Klaus questioned smiling at Anna.

- "Not lies, just truth." Anna simply answered.

- "That's just her view of me." Klaus stated, "I could show yo-"

- He was interrupted by Natali, "Klaus, stop flirting with her and tell me where is Kol's coffin."

- "Oh, do you want him back?" Klaus questioned.

- "Yes. Don't make me lose my patience." Natali warned him.

- "I believe I can't give him back to you." Klaus said taking a sip from his drink.

- "Just tell me where he is." Natali demanded.

- "Don't be so impatient love. Do you want a drink? You could use a drink." Klaus says smugly.

- "Tell me!" Natali demanded again slamming her fist on the table.

- Klaus smiles, placing his glass back on the table, "I put him in one place you could never locate him with your magic." He glanced at her having a cunning smile on his face and when Natali narrowed her eyes at him, expecting him to say more, he stated coldly, "At the bottom of the ocean."

- "You did what?" Natali shouted and definitely the whole bar heard her, also the lights flickered for a moment.

- "I told you, he is never gonna be out of that box again." Klaus snapped back at her as he stood up from his seat, "You should be happy I left you breathing after I found out that you two were plotting something against me."

Rebekah saw what was happening in the booth and came with a guy she was dancing with. She wanted to talk with Natali, but Natali didn't have anything to say to her. Just before Anna and Natali left, she turned once again towards Klaus, saying, "Don't think for a second that I'm not doing everything in my power to accomplish that plan, even if Kol isn't here."

- Klaus extended his hand in an attempt to grab her by her throat, but Rebekah stopped him, "Nik please, don't do anything to her."

- "Rebekah, are you trying to earn my trust again? Because that won't be easy. And let me give you one last advice, run as fast as you can from this bastard before he throws you in the box like he always does." Natali told her and in the next moment, there wasn't any sight of her nor Anna in the bar.

[THE PRESENT DAY:]

The next day Damon and Elena were walking towards the Grill when in the middle of a town square they saw dozens of humans surrounding none less than Natali, who was saying some words they didn't understand, "Hoc trahit te ad me. Et vos eritis mihi servus. Fac omnia, dico."

When they approached closer to see what was exactly going on they could see that all humans had their eyes wide open and black as coal.

Natali felt the presence of the two of them, so she opened her eyes. Her eyes were also black, but only for the brief moment and she looked straight at the two of them who backed a step away. Not caring about them at the moment she turned her attention towards humans and spoke out loud, "I want everyone I've chosen to find me, Stefan Salvatore. You can also follow his brother." She gestured with her hand towards Damon and all of the humans turned around to look at him, "I'm sure, they will reveal location and Stefan will crawl out of the hole he is hiding in.. soon enough." she paused for a moment, before continuing, "Every one of you has exactly twenty-four hours to find him and if don't you're going to slit your throats open and end your miserable human lives. The clock is ticking, you are dismissed." she smiled wickedly and added in an amused voice, "May the best win." when she finished talking all of the humans got their normal eyes back and started running around, obeying her.

- "No! This is wrong, you can't do this." Elena protested in panic.

- "I can do whatever I want." Natali casually spoke taking a step towards them and glancing between the two, "I told you, someone will pay for yours and Stefan's mistakes and I'm going to make every human in this town to slit their throats until Stefan isn't found."

- "What if I kill them before they tell you where they've found Stefan, ha?" Damon questioned, challengingly taking a step forward.

- Natali laughed at his ignorance, his stupidity, and his folly, "Yeah, that won't work. I would see through their eyes before you can kill them."

- "Then I'll kill them right now." Damon replied.

- "Do it! I'll make some more." Natali shot back.

- Damon smiled bitterly at her and Elena grabbed his hand, "No, Damon. You can't kill them, they are innocent."

- Natali glanced at her, "Oh Elena, no one is innocent."

When Klaus came back to Mystic Falls from his trip to make more hybrids Natali went to his mansion, which he was renovating. She opened the doors of his house and let herself in when one of his hybrids came and stood in front of her, "Who let you in?"

- Natali gave him a small smile, "I let myself in. Now if you don't want to be dead get out of my way." she warned him, pushing the hybrid out of her way.

- But he zoomed back in front of her, "Klaus ordered that we don't let anyone in." Hybrid told her.

- Before Natali could say anything more they heard Klaus yelling from another room, "Let her come here."

Once again Natali smiled at the hybrid and pushed him to the side but with more force, then walked towards the room from where Klaus' voice was coming from.

- "So this is your new place?" Natali asked entering the room and looking around.

- "Yes, it is." Klaus simply replied as he spun around to face her.

- "When are you going to start looking for your family that is rotting in the coffins?" Natali asked, quickly changing the subject onto the one she wanted to talk with him from the start.

- "Who said I don't already?" Klaus questioned.

- "Well, I don't see you putting much effort into finding them." Natali told him.

- "Well I have you for that, don't I?" Klaus questioned with a smirk appearing on his face. He knew she will do anything to have her precious Kol back.

- "No. You don't. I'm just going to find Kol." Natali informed him, "But you care about Elijah and Finn? And especially about that one more coffin?" she paused and smiled, "I know you do. So you should lure Stefan to the open, however you know, so I can finish him."

- Klaus laughs slightly, "I'm surprised that you can't find him. It's like he is at the bottom of the ocean all over again." he told her, having a hit on mocking in his tone.

- Natali clenched her jaw, "I have people who work on that right now." she says and Klaus takes a few steps closer to her, "But I know you and Stefan have some sort of histor-"

- "Well in that case." Klaus spoke ignoring everything she was saying about Stefan and him. Suddenly he jabbed a needle into her arm. It was a sedative he had one of his witches make, so he can keep Natali down, "I'm perfectly fine if you don't find my brother." Klaus stated as Natali groaned and fall onto the floor unconscious. And just in case he also injected her with a big dose of vervain. 

⚜ ✡ ⚜ ✡ ⚜ ✡

[ELENA'S HOUSE:]

Damon and Elena were in the living room, trying to get a hold of Stefan and tell him what's going on, but he never answered their calls.

- "I have a plan." Elena informed Damon.

- Damon glanced at her and narrowed his eyes, "What kind of plan?"

- "We need her on our side." Elena said, already knowing that he won't have a good reaction.

- "What? Are you crazy?" Damon burst out.

- "I'm serio-" Elena didn't finish what she wanted to say since Damon interrupted her repeating a word "No." over and over again.

- "Just listen to me." Elena exclaimed in a louder voice, then she continued calmly, "Rebekah said how her brother and Natali almost put Klaus down.."

- She was once again interrupted, "I don't like two things in that sentence. First of all, Rebekah told you that and second of all did you hear the part  "almost put Klaus down"?

- "They would do it if he didn't dagger Rebekah's brother." Elena told him.

- Damon shakes his head in disbelief, "I don't believe in that story."

- "Come on Damon, she told me she hates Klaus, I'm sure she would help us to put him down." Elena told him, desperately trying to convince him that her plan is good, "Of course only if we give her something she wants."

- "Her daggered boyfriend." Damon stated.

- Elena nodded, "Yes. We need to find Stefan first, then her."

- "Fine. If something goes wrong.." Damon spoke.

- "It won't." Elena assured him.

They were desperate enough to go with her plan since no one wanted Elena to be Klaus' blood bag and they wanted him down.
