"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.
