WAR OF HEARTS ↠ KOL MIKAELSON

1:12

"I channeled dark objects through my blood to poison him."

Both Rhea and Kol had looks of pride on their faces, clearly the younger witch was learning from them.

Rhea then turned her attention back to Kol, "How did you get free?"

"Oh it's a long story, better question is," he paused, turning to Davina, "If he's not dead, then what are you gonna do when he recovers?"

"We have an hour, maybe less. Enough time to chain him, bleed him, dump him in the river." Davina told the two, Rhea let out a low whistle, impressed at her friends idea.

"That's a bit harsh, isn't it?" Kol questioned, causing the two girls to give him a look of confusion.

"Since when do you care what happens to Klaus?" Rhea wondered what had happened since he had been with Klaus to make him switch sides all of a sudden. 

They were interrupted by Marcel, who gasped upon his coming back to life— pulling himself to his feet, he rubbed his sore neck before informing the two girls.

"Kol is with us now. We're going to be going up against Esther, assuming Klaus is upright." Rhea felt slightly betrayed at the fact that Kol was now on Klaus' side— considering all of the times he had screwed Kol over in the past.

Davina let out a noise of disbelief, obviously showing her confusion too, "Look, Nik is a pain in the ass, but, well.. she's a problem for us all." Kol informed the two.

Davina took a step toward Marcel and Kol, alarming them of her anger, "Klaus is the problem! I don't give a damn what happens to Esther."

"Yeah, well I sure do." Came the voice of Camille O'Connell, Rhea became tense at her presence— something Kol noticed straight away.

Upon noticing Klaus' unconscious body, she asked, "Should I even ask?"

Marcel shrugged, rolling his eyes towards Davina, the latter stepping towards her blonde friend.

"Cami, you should go. It's not safe." Rhea had unconsciously took a step back from the situation unfolding. Her movements were halted, however, when Kol placed his hand in her own.

He sensed her distress within seconds, and if his assumptions were correct— there was going to be a kick off very soon and Kol, was more than prepared to get her out of there without a second thought, if he needed to.

"No kidding! I woke up with puncture wounds all up and down my spine and no idea how they got there. According to my uncles files, they're part of this ancient spell, and I don't know about you guys, but when I see ancient and spell in the same sentence, I think Esther."

Oh how wrong she was.

Camille had taken a seat on the couch, chugging the water that Marcel had fetched for her— while Davina and Kol examined the puncture wounds on her back. Rhea, however, was stood slightly away from the group, gnawing at her bottom lip, undecided on whether to tell them the truth or not.

"That's mothers work, alright. She must have wiped your memory." Kol informed Cami, who didn't even seem surprised.

"Not the first time it's been done by a member of this family. What does it mean?" She questioned, Kol chose his next words carefully.
