Chapter Sixteen: Kol

I pulled my hand away when I felt a spark. Its was almost like being shocked.

"Well bloody hell! You gave me a foot hold." I spun so fast that I fell to the floor. It was the man from the casket. But how he was still in it.

If I had given him a foot hold then that meant only I could see him. He was a ghost.

Just my luck.

My fall had lead to me hurting my hand. As I looked at it blood dripped down my palm. It made the entombed vampires grow restless.

"Who are you? And how did I give you a foot hold?" I asked him. I didn't need to fear him. He was a ghost but as of right now all he had was a foot hold meaning he was still mostly on the other side.

"You darling are a witch of her own. You are called an ostensor vitae in Latin. Meaning bringer of life. As for how you did it I have no idea but I'm hoping you can do more then that." He said as he looked at his body.

For a moment I could see a hint of sadness in his deep brown eyes. Then when his eyes once again met mine all I could see was playfulness.

"I don't think I can help you I don't even know what I did. I wish I could help you um…"

"Kol, Kol Mikaelson." His smirk got bigger. "And you must be my brothers little Rose."

Before I could say anything I could hear foot steps coming down the long stone hall. And then Kol was gone only to come right back.

"Hide. Right now!" I didn't know where to go. Fear raced in my veins making the cut on my hand bleed more. Looking around I saw that there was a bit of wall I could hide behind.

The foot steps stopped and I could hear someone giving orders to let a vampire out. Soon after I heard them leave.

I was about to get out of there when I felt something grab me. Then pain blossomed from my hand. I looked down as I tried to pull my hand away. But I could feel my strength going as the vampire, that was looking a bit less withered, drank from me.

"Kol! Help me!" I cried out. Not that he could do much he was dead after all. I had to get away but how? Then I felt my body be tugged back.

My hand was now free but so soon would the vampire. I looked up at Kol who had some how helped me.

"Darling you need to bring me back now. You will not be able to get out of here before him. And he will kill you do you understand?"

"And you won't?" I asked weakly.

"If you bring me back sweetheart I will protected you so long as you live. But you need to hurry."

I made myself get up. When I made it back to his body I put my hands on his chest. I began to feel that same shook like feeling in my fingers as if some of my life was living me to go to him.

Then I felt something grab me from be hind.
