Le notes: I've added Kol to the mix for a bit of fun. And also because I just love him, and NateBuzz is super attractive/hunky-dory. I miss his face on tvd, he'd be a great addition to the spin-off. By the way, the first drabble is a continuation of the last one from the previous chapter (with davina). Sorry for the confusion. Hope you enjoy!

Summary: park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, and dream about me. ―-Multiple pairings/friendships (a series of unrelated drabbles, includes: klayley, camcel, tybekah, etc.)

davina/josh

.

seven: ―sleep on the floor and dream about me

.

Another overly loud knock awakens her from her day-dream. It's the second time today. Davina growls at the event. If this wasn't Josh's doing, then she would have torn the world down in order to get just one peaceful nap.

"Hey," Josh mouths and she can't hear him because the windows are still rolled up. "You gunna let me in?" Again, she ignores his presence. But, Josh is quite persistent. "I know you're awake."

Davina's dark circles are quite apparent. She hadn't slept in days. Grumpily, she unlocks the door. Almost immediately, Josh joins her. She grunts at him, still uncomfortable. However, Josh is the only person whom she trusts, at this very moment. So finally, she becomes a bit vulnerable and weak. "Did Marcel send you?"

"No," it takes him only moments to reply. No sign of hesitation, which meant that he wasn't lying. "I was worried about you. I thought you ran off."

"Without you?" She smiles. He nods. "I'd never do that." Davina confesses. "You're the only reason why I'm still somewhat sane."

He smiles back at her, feeling extremely relieved by her words. "So, are you gunna spend the night in here?" She nods her head at his gestures. "Is it okay if I stay here with you? Wouldn't want some creep sneaking up on you in the middle of the night."

"I'm an all-powerful witch Josh, I can handle myself. I don't need your protection."

"Fine," she's caught off-guard by his calm demeanour. "Just, let me keep you company then?"

"Of course," she releases, leaning in to his shoulder. Suddenly, Davina realizes that Marcel's car isn't the only place where she feels safe. Josh's arms are also quite soothing, strangely enough.

eight: ―say something, i'm giving up on you

.

On a late night spent out and about, Niklaus comes home to see her fast asleep on his table. She's got countless fliers spread out across the wooden board, all to do with baby cribs, diapers, and children's toys. He sighs, watching her take her nap, quite uncomfortably. For a moment, he thinks she might mumble something quite scandalous. And she does. He can't exactly decode what she's saying.

However―

"Elijah," she whispers. Klaus reaches out anyway. He traces her neck, up and down her pulse point. Perhaps, thinking about her rich tasting blood. He always was an animal. His finger pushes a few strands of loose hairs behind her left ear. He pretends not to hear her voice, just goes with the flow.

(Later, it gets even darker. She actually sheds a few tears, in her sleep. So he picks her up in his arms, carries her up to her bedroom and places her under soft cotton white sheets. He doesn't think that he'd wonder if she'd wake up and presume that Elijah was the one who tucked her in.

He doesn't think that he cares much, either).

Hayley awakens with the rise of the sun and detects Niklaus's strong scent, all over her skin. It doesn't surprise her, not in the least.

rebekah/matt

nine: ―come over and say nothing, silence is everything

.

(au in which matt runs away to nola for a little while in order to escape all the chaos back at mystic falls, rebekah is more than happy to see him)

"I love you," she says as her voice is a little muffled by his pillow.

They are lying beside one another after a night of passion and a bit of regret, mostly from his side. And her head is on chest, listening to his melodic heartbeat. He's tracing shapes on her pale skin and he's humming the tune of an old song, something like The Beatles, but not quite.

"I know," he releases, smugly.

"You're not going to say it back?" She questions, eyes gleaming with curiosity and a bit of insecurity.

He kisses her instead, passionately and forcefully. With mixed feelings of desperation, loneliness, loss and possibly, love. She thinks that, perhaps, this much could be enough, for now.

ten: ―girls night

.

(au in which kol survives and comes to nola with his family, unfortunately, not everyone seems to enjoy his strange sense of humour)

"You forgot the pop co―"

"I got it!" Hayley exclaims, running towards her fluffy pink bed with a bowl of freshly popped corn in hand. Rebekah and Davina smile her way, welcoming her in. "So, you two pick a movie yet?"

"We can't decide," Davina reveals, lifting the dvd's towards the wolf girl's face, "The Notebook or A Walk to Remember?" (Rebekah feels a bit nauseous at the thought, "I haven't seen either of them yet, but they both sound equally as ghastly. Since you're the pregnant one, you get to pick").

(Hayley rolls her eyes, "lucky me," her tone is sarcastic. She pops one of the films in to the dvd player, just in time to catch two dark eyes, staring at her from her across the window).

"You nosey little pervert!"

Three pillows are thrown in one direction, as a display of pure anger. Moments later, the girls could still hear Kol's snickering in the background.

eleven: ―and since we've no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

.

A white Christmas.

It was unexpected but certainly not…unwelcomed.

Kol is the first to tumble freely in to the snow, eyes wide open and full of joy. He lies on his back, gazing at the sky, remembering the amazing feeling of being alive. His death had been brief. However, he missed this; these little moments in his life. Consequently, Niklaus ruins his day-dreaming by throwing a snowball in his face.

"Start running Nik!" He warns, getting to his feet and dusting the snow off his jeans. Klaus, to his brother's surprise, walks back in to his home and cowers behind Elijah.

He stares as one brother holds a snowball in hand, pacing before him, and the other grips his suit tightly, still hiding. "What in God's name is going on?" He releases, almost dropping his cup of tea.

"All right brother," Kol ignores Elijah's confusion. "You either come out here and face me or," the youngest brother's devilish grin frightens the eldest one, "I take 'Lijah down with you."

An expression of fear appears on his face ("now now Kol," Elijah begins, "let's not get hasty, this is a brand new suit, after all. Wouldn't want to stain it."

"Of course not, 'Lijah").

"Kol." Elijah warns.

"Let's see you try and get me, little brother." Niklaus taunts.

"Niklaus, for God's sake!" Elijah shouts and the snowball flies.

Fortunately, both brothers duck their heads.

("Kol! Nik! 'Lijah! Just wait 'til I get my hands on either of you!" The snow drips down Rebekah's face and on to her pretty dress.

All three brothers make a run for it).

kol/rebekah

twelve: ―in the arms of an angel, fly away from here

.

(au where kol is alive again and with his family, but sometimes, he still feels like he's dead inside)

His screams echo throughout the night. He wakes up with tears streaming down his face and he's yelling so loud that his lungs might explode. His own eardrums might break in to oblivion. And he dreams of flames, of his body on fire. Of his brother's teary-eyed expression. He wakes up and sees his skin, all ash-y and broken and then, he sees the remnants of his body. He disappears before his own eyes.

"Kol!" Her hands are warm, like sunlight, as she places them on his cheeks. "Kol! Kol!" Her skin is soft, nothing like his crispy demeanour. Her hair is light, like an angel, and her eyes…her eyes are the ocean.

"Kol calm down! It was only a dream!" Her voice brings him back.

His body ceases to tremble. Suddenly, the fire has been extinguished and all there is left is her. His friend. His family. His sister. She wraps her arms tightly around him, almost forcing him to catch his breath. Engulfed in her warm embrace, he begins to feel his heartbeats, they are oddly slow and calm.

"There was fire Bekah." He finally tells her. She nods her head, silently. "So much fire. And blood and Nik…Nik was crying. Did you know that? That Nik cried for me? I didn't know that Bekah. I didn't think he cared so much―"

He goes on like this, for almost an hour, sounding like a mad men. Rebekah knows this all too well. She'd seen this type of behaviour in Niklaus, after the night he'd first transformed himself in to a wolf. And Elijah did the very same when he first killed a human. Rebekah had been there for each of her brothers. Madness, insanity, death, betrayal, nothing could push her away from family. Not even Kol's outbursts of pain and agony.

"It's okay," she whispers, combing his sweaty hairs with her fingers. "Everything's going to be okay Kol. You're alive now. We'll be a family once more, I assure you."

"Bekah please," he then wiggles himself out of her grasp. "Don't lie, not to me."

She's stares at him, in obvious disbelief. "Why would you say such a thing?"

"This family will never be whole." He tells her, refusing to look her in the eye. "It never was in the first place."

A tear escapes her eye. Rebekah sniffles and forces a smile on her lips. "You give up much too easily, Kol."

He chuckles. "You're one to talk." He counters her. "You wanted to rid yourself of Nik, not too long ago. And now, here you are, taking Elijah's place and speaking of family?"

She looks to his open window, the stars sparkle within the night. Her smile becomes a little more genuine. "I guess that," the moonlight shines bright over Kol's head, "having you back changed me."

At first, he is a bit touched by her revelation. He feels a little light and airy, like sweet pink cotton candy. However, he rolls his eyes at the thought of peace and tranquility. Nothing is ever certain, at least, not for him.

"How sentimental of you, sister dearest." His tone is sarcastic just a small hint of sincerity, which he fails to conceal within his own cynicism. Rebekah sees right through him.

"Kol," her hands are tense now, as he has become more distant towards her. "If it's all right with you then, I'm going to stay here for a while."

"I don't need you to look after me. Go back to sleep, you seem tired."

"Pushing me away won't stop your nightmares." She knows how much he hates it when she mentions that word. Because, if anything, they are more than just nightmares. They are horrific memories of his own death, which he will never be able to forget. "I can help you. Let me help you."

The wind sweeps in through the cracks of the walls. It whistles a tune and for once, Kol feels the chill in the air. He feels alive for a second. But only for a second. He closes his eyes and his sister stubbornly remains, glued to his mattress.

"On one condition," his voice trembles at the memory of golden hairs and bright eyes. And his childish grin and her kind smile. "Will you sing mother's song for me?"

She raises a brow at him, "you mean, the one she would sing you to sleep with? That old lullaby?"

"Yes."

She looks in to his eyes for the first time tonight. And then, she sees it. The image of a little brown haired boy with irises that glow fluorescent neon. With indigo colored dreams, and a future so bright, all ruined and smashed to bits with the curse of time.

This broken man is her brother. A man made of back-holes and chaos.

(her lips fall open, and her voice escapes in to a melody of sounds)

"Deep in the meadow,"

(he lies his head on her lap)

"under the willows,"

(and closes his tired eyes)

"a bed of grass, a soft green pillow,"

(they feel as if they are children again)

"lay your head down and close your sleepy eyes."

(as if they are innocent and young and beautiful, all over again)

"and when again they open, the sun will rise."

(as if they are not dead)

"here it's safe, here it's warm, here the daisies guide you from every harm, here your dreams, sweet and"

(Kol begins to snore quite softly. Rebekah weaves her fingers in to his hairs, a small smile pulling at the corner of her lips).

Le more notes: Kol's song is actually from The Hunger Games. Just wanted to let you know, in case you were curious about it. Reviews are always lovely. Thank you for reading!
