"Why are we meeting him again?" I muttered as i crossed the road over towards Roussoues, hand in hand with Nik.

"We need to gain his trust love, we can't do that over night. We need to play the part." Nik explained, I rolled my eyes.

"I won't be staying long anyway, Kol will be here soon." I replied with a tad of attitude, making Niks hand tighten over mine ever so slightly.

I still hadn't forgiven him about handing Elijah over to Marcel just yet.

"Great." Nik snapped, I rolled my eyes as Nik let go of my hand and pushed open the door to Roussoes and let me walk in first, I nodded at him in a thank you.

"Well this is a far cry from lasts nights party." Nik voiced up to Marcel who was sat at the front window, drinking wine from a shot glass, Nik guided me over by pushing the bottom of my back slightly.

I pulled up a chair to the small table as Nik took a seat opposite Marcel.

"In pursuit of the bartender I see." Nik applauded Marcel, I scoffed.

"Who says pursuit anymore Nik." I muttered.

He nudged my knee with his own from under the table.

"A hundred thousand year old vampire does sweetheart." He sassily replied.

I rolled my eyes at him as Marcel watched us with amusement.

"She's a work in progress."

"Then why are you over here, when you could be over there?" I motioned behind me to the bartender.

"Business first-" I cut marcel off with me abruptly standing up as I caught sight of someone outside the window.

"I'm very sorry Marcel but I'm going to have to cut this meeting short." I quickly spoke as I fled out of the bar and ran outside, I stood and stared at the figure looking around curiously in awe.

"Kol!" I called him, his eyes instantly met my own from over the road, he sent me a toothy grin as he held his arms wide open in a hugging gesture, I ran full speed as fast as my human self could go as I didn't want to cause too much attention and ran straight into his familiar arms that instantly enveloped me into a bone crushing hug.

"Well- hello my darling." Kol chuckled out as I squeezed my best friend tighter.

"Why didn't you come sooner!?" I quizzed him as I reluctantly pulled away.

"Because your friends back at Mystic Falls needed some help." He replied with a sly smirk.

"Kol." I warned him, he put his two hands up in surrender.

"I didn't kill anybody don't worry!" He defended himself with his usual cheeky smile, I sent him one in return.

"Do you know anyone in this town that's a wolf other than Hayley?" Kol suddenly asked me quietly, I frowned and shook my head.

"No-Marcel ran them all out of town years ago." I answered bitterly without noticing. Kol smirked at my tone of voice.

"Well it doesn't matter then." He dismisses, I hit his chest lightly.

"If it concerns the Hayley's safety Kol-I need to know." I slightly growled, he chuckled and took a good look around the quarter in awe.

"Kol!" I pushed with a stern tone, he rolled his eyes at me.
