"Under the same stars there's some guy and he's with this girl and he's got all the time in the world and he's right…and I hate him." Those were the words that always haunted Davina. It still haunted her in her final moments. She remembered how she felt when those words were spoken and it seemed like it was yesterday. She remembered the pain when she knew she was about to lose Kol. She was warned by Marcel that Kol wasn't the person to fall in love with a girl. That he was just using her to get his own way. Maybe it started that way. But somehow Davina knew that from the first moment they met there was a connection. He felt it too. That was something she was certain of. Like it was a given fact. She saw it in his eyes, in the way he smiled at her. She felt like those smiles where only reserved for her.

Davina was aware of his reputation before she met him. The original family was well known in New Orleans by the supernatural community. And let's just say that Kol build up quite a reputation when he wasn't daggered. From what she heard his animalistic behavior even out seeded Klaus's. Not in a million years would she have thought that she would feel a connection to this Mikaelson sibling. Or that she would fall in love with him. But she did. It wasn't that she gave him a free pass for his past deeds. She called him a 1000 year old psycho and even called him out on what he did when he was a vampire at one point. Kol brushed it of as going through a dark period because of the loss of his magic and youthful misadventures. She however did agree with him when he told her that he did it because he was a thrill seeker. That's exactly what Kol Mikaelson was and she eventually came to love that part about him.

It was after that conversation that things started to change even faster between them. Kol was not only opening up to her, but he wasn't playing games with her anymore or trying to charm her to get in her good graces. He was beginning to be honest with her. About his plans for Klaus, about everything. They found an ally in each other in their mission to take down Klaus and during that time they fell in love. Kol once told Davina that she wasn't like most girls. He loved that about her, she knew that for sure. And when she looked in his eyes when he was saying goodbye to her she saw it in his eyes too.

He was only genuine with her. He wanted to have more time with her but couldn't and it pained her so much. There where so many things in live that they wanted to do together. Kol always talked to her about the places he visited in the past. But he didn't just wanted to tell her. He wanted her to experience it for herself and one day take her to those places. Unfortunately on that night all those dreams seemed too have faded away. Davina however wasn't about to let go of them back then. She knew that there was still a chance to get him back. And even when she was devastated and grieved him when he died she was determined to make sure he came back to her. Because of that determination the blow when she realized she failed felt like she was losing Kol all together again. But this time for real because there was no loophole to use anymore.

Davina was sitting in her chair. A blanket was covering her old and tired body. She was all alone in her final moments but she didn't mind it. After all it wasn't something she knew would happen in advance but now that the moment was coming closer she felt it. She didn't want to call her family. She didn't want a painful goodbye because she knew how it felt for the people left behind. As far as they were concerned she wanted them to know that she died peacefully in her sleep. Maybe another reason why she didn't want them there was because she knew that she herself was now running out of time. Would they even be there in time?

Davina took a deep breath. She realized that it was getting harder to breath. But somehow she didn't mind it. She knew what was about to come. And she also felt something, something she hasn't felt in a long time. It was the feeling of someone watching over you. Watching you from another side on this world. She had this feeling also after Kol died. And she had it the night she had to say goodbye to Kol for the second time.

Thinking of that night was always a painful memory. She always tried not to and instead thought of only the happy moments she shared with Kol. But this time she wanted to think about it one more time:

Seven months had passed since Kol passed away. Rebekah and Davina where still looking for a way to get Kol back. Placing a spirit into another body wasn't impossible. In fact it had been done quite a few times. The only tricky part was how to unlink Kol from Kaleb's body. Finn new exactly what he did when he cursed Kol. He didn't have the same knowledge Kol had when it came to magic. After all Kol was the only one who practiced magic before they turned. But also the only one who extended his knowledge of magic after that. Unfortunately at the point when Finn cursed him he was stronger than him. He channeled Esther's and Mikael's powers witch gave the curse the power it needed to settle deep within Kaleb's body and Kol's soul. It seemed irreversible. But Davina wouldn't hear of that.

Thinking back on those moments right before he died she felt a lot of regret. She was the one who took him to that place to begin with. She knew he didn't blame her but that was exactly what she did. In her mind she felt like if it wasn't for her Kol would still be here. Another thought that lingered strongly into her mind was why he didn't tell her. If only she knew sooner, maybe she could have made a difference. And why, why didn't Rebekah and Kol try to find a way to save him sooner.

It was when she talked to Freya 7 months after Kol died that she realized what the answer for getting Kol back was. Rebekah told her that Kol for some reason seemed to be fine after a while. He thought he was going to be okay until all of the sudden that hex came back. Davina hadn't put the pieces together as to why that was until she talked to Freya.

She heard about Freya's return and even crossed paths with her a few times but it was clear that her main priority was to get rid of Dahlia. It wasn't to get Kol back. And seeing how she sided with Finn also didn't help their relationship. However when they were forced to work together in their fight against Dahlia it proved that Freya did have some viable information. She told Davina that she didn't knew a way to bring Kol back. She was only able to bring Finn back because the amulet she gave him protected him. Hexes are irreversible. Even for the strongest witches out there. But knowing that Finn died made her realize why Kol felt better. Why he thought he was going to be okay.

Finn's hex was a very clever one. But it wasn't clever enough. She had found that loophole. The hex was connected to Finn's wellbeing. Meaning if Finn where to die the hex would be reversed. Kol would be coming back to her because ancestral witches could be brought back. This was information she was all but willingly to share with Klaus, seeing as Klaus had two reasons to come after Finn. The first one was for going after Hope. The second one was for killing his little brother. The only problem was getting to Finn. He was well protected by Freya. Even though they were forced to work together, they still weren't on the same side. Freya did condoned Finn for what he did to Kol but she still wasn't about to let him get killed. That's why she couldn't know what the price was for getting Kol back. She knew they would come after Finn if she was told the truth. If she didn't knew they still had the advantage over Freya and ultimately Finn.

Davina remember racing to the attic that day when she finally did find the answer she had been looking for all those months. In the period after Kol died she knew he wasn't completely gone. She felt his presence linger around her and she was thankful for it. She even found a way to contact him from time to time on the other side. It did require a lot of power seeing as the ancestral witches where still crossed with her for ditching her coven.

They tried to sabotage Kol and Davina's attempts to make contact with each other. She was ready to do the spell to make contact with Kol. But it was no guarantee it would work. Sometimes it did. But other times it simply didn't. It depended on how soon the ancestral witches picked up on their magic, because the moment they did they sabotaged to connection Kol and Davina where using through their magic to make contact.

At one time when their connection was about to be broken she saw a glimpse of the plane the ancestral witches where on. She saw a glimpse of Kol. It was just for a second but it was enough. She knew that he was holding his own against those other ancestral witches. Why she even doubted that, she had no idea. After all it was Kol Mikaelson. If anybody could stand up against those witches it was Kol. In that glimpse she saw that smile. That same smile she came to love about him so much. He still looked like Kaleb. She actually didn't mind how he looked like. Kaleb or his old self. She didn't fell for his body. She felt for Kol. But it was only logical he looked like Kaleb because in death his spirit was still attached to his body. And it was a given fact that the spirit looks like the body it's attached too.

However thrilled she was to see Kol again for that one second. She also saw one of the persons responsible for breaking their link. It was Monique. Davina wasn't actually surprised. It was true that they were best friends at one point in time. But after Monique came back she did everything to make her life miserable. She even went after a guy who was trying to hit on her. How childish of Monique it seemed at that time. But now she was glad she did it. Oliver did redeem himself but he just wasn't the guy for Davina. Figures Monique being one of the witches trying to break her connection to Kol. Maybe Monique did it also because of jealousy over her relationship with Kol. But she was glad Kol was able to hold his own against her and the others long enough for them to get messages trough to each other. And that night she had one extremely important message to send.

When she finally entered the attic she quickly grabbed all that she needed to make contact with Kol. She was actually doing the same sort of spell Rebekah used when she tried to contact her family while being locked in an insane asylum. She quickly took the letters and laid down the message she was going to send Kol hopefully. Maybe he already knew from watching her. But she wanted to make sure. This message was to important not to send. When she was finished the following sentence was made: Getting you home soon. Kol would know exactly what it meant seeing as Rebekah once told him she would do everything to bring him home. After the sentence was finished she put down some candles. The candles would give the spell the power it needed seeing as candles represented light. Their light with help from a spell would also shine on the other plane where the ancestral witches where residing. Because of this it would open a small portal to each other's planes. The plane Davina was on and the plane Kol was on. The magic wasn't strong enough for her to see the other plane except for that one brief moment. But it was strong enough for Kol to move the same letters and send a message back. Before Davina was about to chant the spell she made a circle of salt around the candles. She knew Kol was already inside the circle of candles. She just felt it. She couldn't explain how. But she just did. After she finished the circle it would make it harder for the other spirits to enter the circle and to break their link. This bought them a little bit more time. If only it was just for a few more minutes. Davina began to chant. Hoping that there would be enough time for Kol to make contact with her.

The minute she finished the spell she knew it worked right away. She had to wait a few more seconds and then she saw the letters moving. It worked, Koll was able to make contact to her from the other plane. Slowly the following sentence was formed: I know love. Davina couldn't help but smile. She knew it. She knew that Kol had watched her and was there when she came to the conclusion of how to save him. She quickly started to move the letters to get another message through but all of the sudden a rush of wind broke the circle of salt, blew out the candles and swept away the letters. She didn't despair because she knew this was the last time she would have to talk to him like that. "Don't worry Kol" she said. Knowing he could hear her. "We are planning on getting you back tonight, just hold on". If only she knew things weren't going to go the way they planned it Davina thought looking back on it.

Another deep breath left her body. It would now only be a brief few minutes. But it turned out those final minutes wouldn't be spend alone, reflecting on her life. Reflecting on that particular night in her life. She would spent it with the last person she ever hoped to see again. The one person who had wronged her that night. But what was he doing here. They never interacted unless it was absolutely necessary but otherwise she didn't want anything to do with him. He knew that and he respected it and tried to leave her alone because of what she meant to Kol. So why was he here now? Did he knew she didn't have long? How would he know that? How did Klaus Mikaelson know that?

This is the end of the second chapter. Originally it was also going to tell the reasons why Davina couldn't bring Kol back, but the chapter is turning way longer than I expected. That's why I decided to split it up. I can't promise when it's finished because I'm still writing it, but I hope to publish it soon. I also have to tell that even though I just indicated that Klaus somehow was involved in why Kol couldn't be brought back, I'm not going to make him the bad guy. You will understand why he did what he did. But will Davina also do that in the end now she and Klaus are going to reflect together on that event.
