Hello again! I am very excited to bring you this next chapter! It was fun so much fun to write it and I hope you enjoy it as much. Thank you for all your views!

Davina sat curled up in a rocking chair on the balcony of her room sipping her first cup of coffee of the day. Her blue eyes took in the gorgeous scenery that laid out in front of her, the cool water of the lake, its surface reflecting the mountains that surrounded it. Never in her life had she seen such a sight so she made her daily routine to take the beauty in with a cup of coffee. It was early morning, the air was cold which made the mug in her hand that much warmer. It has been a week since their arrival in Denver, Kol and Davina would stay in the cabin unless the would go out to meet Jeremy.

Jeremy had been kind enough to show them all the cool spots in town and where he would often hang out. One day, Jeremy invited them to go to an arcade where Kol was introduced to video games and developed a slight obsession for them because that night, after Davina had to explain how they worked and how to play them, Kol went out and bought himself one and brought it back to the cabin. Needless to say that was why they rarely left the cabin. Davina would never forget the night, Kol struggled to beat a level in one of his games and nearly broke the poor Xbox in half and even thought Davina should have been terrified of his temper, she only found it hilarious. Oh wait….that was just last night and after she went to bed she could hear still him grumbling about that damn level. Snickering at the memory she took another sip of the bitter liquid and felt her stomach growl for something to eat.

So, she got out of her chair and went inside out of the chilly air, walking down stairs to see Kol standing in front of the stove flipping something and the smell of bacon hit her nose.

"I thought it was my turn to cook," Davina said sitting down in stool at the breakfast bar that separated the living room from the kitchen.

"I don't mind it, Darling," He said turning to her with a grin. "What were you laughing about up stairs?" One thing she keeps forgetting about was his vampire hearing.

"You," She said grinning. "Your little temper tantrum last night."

"It wasn't funny," Kol said turning back to the stove.

"But it was," Davina said giggling as Kol rolled his eyes. "Did you beat it?"

"I did," He answered as he set a glass of orange juice in front of her.

"Is that fresh squeezed?" She asked surprise.

"Of course it is. There will be none of that bottled stuff." Kol said as he placed a plate full of bacon, eggs and two pieces of toasts browned just perfectly in front of her. "Do you want jam for your toasts?"

"The grape please and ketchup for the eggs," Davina added.

"Eat up because we are getting out of this stuffy old cabin for a bit," Kol said sitting down after getting himself a blood bag from fridge pouring it into a glass.

"Where we going?" asked Davina swallowing a bite of her eggs.

"It's a surprise," Kol said. "I want to show you something and make sure you dress in something warm."

"Okay," Davina said. "You know you are a good cook for a vampire."

"Well being alive for over a thousand year minus the years in the coffin, you actually learn something. I like cooking honestly." Kol admitted taking a sip of his blood as the finished their breakfast with brief small talk.

Davina walked down the stair to Kol who was waiting for her at the bottom at them standing there in a deep blue heavy coat. He looked up and smiled at her causing her heart to flutter. She shook her head as she came up beside him.

"You ready to go?"

"Ready when you are," Davina answered and they went out and got into the car. Kol turned to her with a serious look on his face.

"Do you trust me?" Kol asked his tone serious.

"You know that I do," Davina nodded her eyes widen as Kol lifted his hands revealing a what looked to be a blindfold which made her wonder what he was really up to. "What are you doing?" She questioned.

"If I asked you to only close your eyes, there is a chance that you would peek so to prevent that I want you to wear this," He said. "So will you wear this?"

"I better not get arrested," She warned causing Kol to chuckle.

"You won't," Kol promised as she let out a breath and leaned over those blue eyes just a little bit weary as he wrapped the cover around her head, his fingers grazing her cheeks as he did so tying the ends together making sure it was snug, but no to tight. He watched as she bit her lip and he wanted to be the one to bite those lips as the need to kiss her became present in his mind. He forced himself to straighten up to start the car because he couldn't wait to see her eyes once they got there and he revealed his surprise to her.

"Are we there yet?" asked Davina.

They had been driving for what felt like forever and Kol was still driving. She could feel the way the car was moving that they were on a very curvy and winding road and the temperature in the car had dropped considerably.

"Almost," Kol answered. "Just a bit more." Kol smiled as he looked out the window as continued driving up the mountain taking a few more turns before stopping the car. "Let me help you get out of the car," He said before exiting the car and flashed around to the other side opening the door. Davina felt a rush of cold wet air meet her face as Kol took her hands in to his.

"Step out," He instructed as Davina moved her foot placing it on the ground gingerly as she still could no see a thing. "That's it. Now the other one." Davina did the same thing and felt Kol pulling her up. She felt her feet sink into something. "Take a few steps." Kol said not letting go of her not wanting her to fall and closed the car door. The cold air was beginning to sting her nose and she could feel something light and gentle hitting her cheeks. Kol wrapped an arm around the back of her waist and held on to her arm as he pulled her forward and hearing something crunch beneath her feet.

"Are you ready for your surprise?" Kol whispered in her ear his voice low making her body shiver and not from the cold. She could feel her heart racing in her chest as she nodded and felt Kol's hand leave her body to undo the blindfold lifting it off her face. "Open your eyes."

Davina opened her eyes and gasped as she took in the sight before her. She turned her head taking it as she took a step forward. It was snow. Snow stretched out for endless miles and there was more falling. She couldn't find the words to say as she held out a hand to catch the falling flakes as her other hand covered her mouth. She tried to find the words to say, but everything caught in her throat. It was so beautiful. She blinked rapidly to hold back the tears as she twirled around in the flakes flying around her. She didn't know how she was standing because she still had yet to catch her breath.

"What do you think?"

Davina whipped around her eyes landing on Kol, who had been watching her every move dazed once again by her outstanding beauty.

"Oh Kol," She whispered as she couldn't remember the last time anyone had been so thoughtful. "I can't believe that you remembered. I only wished that I had brought gloves."

Kol held up his finger before walking to the trunk of the car and she couldn't believe it when he brought out a pair of gloves causing her to laugh it echoing around her as he walked back to her handing them to her.

"What would I do with out you?" She whispered shaking her head at the amazing man before her. How could his siblings not see him for the gem he is remembering some of the stories that he had shared about them. Sure, he could be a little hot headed sometime, but his heart was always in the right place and she knew he had done some terrible things in the past, but what vampire hasn't? Davina could not longer deny herself the truth. She was falling in love with him if she hadn't already. She felt her eyes fill up with tears as she knew that there was no way he would ever return her feelings.

Kol frowned noticing her tears when she tore her eyes way from him. She was blinking rapidly to keep them at bay. He reached under her chin lifting her eyes back at his. "What's wrong?" He asked as he wiped a solitary tear away from her cheek.

"Nothing," She said her voice weak. "Its just...thank you." She said softly as she slipped the gloves on to her hands welcoming the warmth they offered to her hands. "This is amazing Kol."

"You deserve it," Kol said reached into his pocket for his phone frowning as he didn't find it.

"What you looking for?" Davina asked noticing Kol searching for something.

"My phone," He answered.

"It's probably in the car," Davina said nodding towards the vehicle. Kol sighed as he turned back to go get his phone and Davina grinned as she swooped down quickly scooping up snow forming a snowball and threw it at his retreating back except it didn't hit his back but the back of his head making him stop in his tracks. She stuck her hands inside her coat pockets to make it as if she did nothing and tried to keep her face straight.

"What was that?" He asked looking around reaching up to feel the back of his head.

"I have no idea," She said biting her lip to keep herself from laughing at the shocked look on his face.

"Huh..." Kol narrowed his eyes at her as he saw bits of snow in his hand. "Because the evidence says other wise." He walked slowly towards her as she burst out in to giggles as he got himself snow flinging it at her in which she moved out the way causing it to miss her by a mere inch. "You know you should count yourself lucky..." He drawled walking up her. "Because I not usually so nice to my enemies. Whoever crosses me...I always get even."

"Really?" She challenged as he continued to make his way towards her. "How can you be so sure it was me?" She batted her eyes at him as he gathered more snow in his hands.

"It's just you and me, Love," He said that sexy smirk of his beaming on high. "And now you have to pay."

"Bring it," She said stepping closer to him as she felt herself drowning in the brown eyes she grown to love. Yep...She wasn't falling because she was already in love with him and there was nothing she could do to stop herself...nor did she want to even though it would end up as heartbreak on her end.

"Be careful what you wish for," Kol said as he raised his hand over her head plopping the snow filled hand on to top of her head causing her to gasp as the cold intrusion.

"This means war, Mikaelson,"She shivered as she darted away from him hiding behind a larger boulder.

"Do you know how long it's been since I had a snow ball fight?" Kol yelled as he ducked behind a tree.

"I'm guessing it been a while? She shouted back. "I mean an it has to be for an oldie like yourself."

"I am not old Love, just the ripe age of 22," Kol said.

"Only a 1022 years to be exact," Davina tossed back along with a rather large snow ball hitting his shoulder.

They began tossing snow balls back and forth at each other egging each other on with meaningless firing words. This went on for good twenty minutes until both of them were soaking wet to the bone. Davina shakily threw the last snow ball and it tell a good two feet away from her target.

"I give up," She said as she sank to the ground not caring if she moved again because she was frozen solid.

"Davina Claire," Kol called out. "I never saw you as a quitter."

"I'm not, but I can't feel my fingers or toes," She said leaning her head back as she forced herself of the ground coming out of her hiding space.

"You are positively drenched," Kol noted as he came forward. "Why didn't you say anything?"

"I didn't want to lose my first snowball fight ever and I was having fun," She said as she brought her arms around her trying to warm up. "Beside you are worse than me."

"I won't get sick unlike you who is one step away from catching pneumonia,"Kol said wrapping an arm around her pulling her closer to him. "Let's go get you warmed up before you catch your death out here."

Later, Davina found herself back at the cabin changing into dry clothes. A pink long sleeve shirt with white skinny jeans and socks as her toes still felt like icicles. She went down the stair to see Kol, who had also changed his clothes, in front of the TV with the controller in his hand his thumb going a mile a minute as he concentrated on the game. She went into the kitchen to pour herself a cup of coffee for her mid day coffee fix. She was dropping her second teaspoon of sugar when she noticed Kol's phone flashing from where it was charging.

"Hey Jeremy is calling," Davina called to him. "Want me to answer it?"

"Yeah," Kol said not turning from the TV causing her to roll her eyes as she picked up the phone taking the call.

"Hello?" She said.

"Hey Davina, I was wondering if you and Kol wanted to come down to the batting cages for bit?" Jeremy asked.

"Uh hold on," Davina said taking the phone away from her ear. "Kol." But Kol just kept playing his game.

"Kol.." Davina repeated and shook her head as she walking over stepping the way of Kol's sight to the TV causing him to pause it. "Jeremy wants to know if you wanted to meet up at batting cages."

"Sure," Kol nodded. "What time?"

Davina brought the phone up to her ear. "Sorry about that. When?"

"How about an hour?"

Davina looked to Kol who nodded and she moved to sit down next to him as he continued the game only to save his progress and turn the game off. "We'll be there." She said.

"Great, see you then," Jeremy said before hanging up and as Davina ended her line the phone began vibrating again but this time the name Niklaus was flashing before her eyes.

"Kol..." Davina said handing him the phone and when he saw the name he took the phone and answered.

"What do you want now?" Kol said leaning back in the chair as Davina curled up beside him. He looked to her and rolled his eyes causing her to giggle.

"Is that anyway to greet your older brother?" Nik said calmly even though Kol could hear the grin through the phone.

"It is when you are disturbing my peace," Kol said tiredly. "And you only call when you need something so what do you want." He put the phone on to the loud speaker so Davina could listen as well.

"I wanted to let you know that Elena is on her way to visit her brother," Klaus said ignoring this snippets from Kol. "Damon is going to be with her. They are trying to find out which Original the Salvatore brothers are descended from. It turns out once you kill the Original that began your sireline dies, the whole line dies with them and since there is a hunter that has been able to get his hands on white oak, they are worried."

"Interesting and a bit problematic," Kol said his mind wondering at this new threat.

"They want to find out so they can kill me along with this hunter who is out for all the Original Vampires," Nik said causing Davina's eyes to widen as her thoughts went straight to Marcel and Josh. She knew from Marcel telling her how he was turned into a vampire that he was turned by Niklaus Mikaelson and Marcel had turned Josh that would mean she would lose the only family she had left if they succeeded.

"I won't let that happen," Kol promised, as he noticed the distress on Davina's face and placed a hand on hers trying to calm her bit. "I am actually about to meet up with the Gilbert kid in a bit so I need to get going."

"One more thing brother," Klaus said. "The doppelganger is off limits or you will find yourself back in your box for the next 500 years."

"Again with the dagger threats," Kol sighed. "Fine, I won't touch them as long as they keep their hands to themselves." Kol ended the call before Klaus could say another word as Davina got up out of her seat and began pacing in front of him. He could see the thoughts in her eyes flying in her head.

"If they kill your brother," Davina stammered as she digested the news. "That means Marcel and Josh will die too."

"That's not going to happen, Davina," Kol said standing up shaking his head.

"We can let them die," Davina told him as she turned to pace some more.

"Look at me, Davina," Kol said touching her shoulder causing her to stop. She turned to him her eyes full of worry. "There are things we can do."

"I can't lose them," She said looking into to his eyes. "They are all I have left."

"Darling, you won't," Kol said cupping her face in her hands. "I promise that you won't." He said firmly rubbing her cheek with the pads of his thumb watching as she leaned into his touch soaking it up. His eyes felt to her lips, and felt his own burn with the need to be pressed against hers. He wish he could kiss her and take it all way, but he knew that it wasn't the right time not with her in distress and even he would never take advantage of someone in their moment of weakness. Despite his growing feelings for the witch whom was grew so close to his heart in such a short of amount of time, oh how he wished that he could maker her his own. He knew that he had feelings for the witch from the moment he saw her in that bar the night she came bursting in to his life and how his life had only brighten since. He was certain that never in his entire existence had he ever felt this way about someone and it sort of made him uneasy. This morning in the snow, was perfect and was something he had only dreamed of being with someone he adored so much or having someone like her to gaze at him with the trust she so willingly gives him. He could barely take his eyes off her as he was just drowning in her beauty. He closed his eyes as he leaned his forehead against hers taking a deep breath before pulling back, but not before spotting a brief touch of disappointment in her eyes.

"What can we do?" She said as that look disappeared as her mind returned to their problem at hand.

"Well it wasn't I who started their bloodline," Kol answered lowering his hands. "And if certainly wasn't Finn or they would be no longer alive. Let's see. The Salvatore Brothers were turned by a vampire called Katerina Petrova, also known as Katherine Pierce, a girl whom my brother, Klaus was interested in using for her blood to undue a curse placed on him by our mother. Klaus isn't just a vampire, but also a werewolf which we didn't know about until his first kill as a vampire which then triggered his werewolf gene which turned him into a hybrid."

"Why aren't you a werewolf?" Davina asked curiously.

"Nik is the only one with the werewolf gene," Kol answered. "When he triggered his curse it also revealed that our mother had been unfaithful to our father. Anyway I am going off course, I only know about this through my brother Elijah as I had gone my own way. One night, Katerina managed to fled the castle that they had currently been staying and managed to get rescued by Rose, a vampire. Well she tricked Rose into feeding her blood and killed herself in order to free of Klaus and so that would make Rose her sire and I know Rose was turned by vampire named Mary Porter whom was turned by Nik himself."

"So we just need this Mary or Rose," Davina added and Kol nodded.

"It's a no go with Rose. She was killed by a werewolf bite from what my brother told me," Kol said. "And it has been centuries since I have seen or heard of Mary Porter. She may not be in the same country."

"I could do a locator spell," Davina suggested.

"You could, but that would require something that she owned," Kol sighed running a hand over his face. "Which I don't have. We need to get going or we are going to be late."

"What about Mary?" Davina asked.

"We'll figure that out later, but with his sister coming to town he might find out about us and reveal that we are here," Kol said. "It will give me a chance to make him forget about us for a bit. Let's get going."

Davina nodded as she slipped on her boots that she had left by the front door and her light jacket as Kol grabbed his keys before they went out the door.

It didn't take them long to get to the batting cages. The traffic was unusually light for the lunch time hour. Kol turn into the lot grabbing the first available parking spot that was close to the door. He pulled the keys out of the ignition and turned to Davina.

"Ready?" He asked gently. He knew that Davina had grown to like the Gilbert boy, as did he but it was something he needed to in order to keep his family safe.

"The sooner we get this over, the sooner we can find Mary," Davina sighed but her eyes were determined.

"As you wish, Davina Claire," He chuckled as she got out of the car. Kol made his way around the car and as they made their way towards the entrance two human figures caught his. Two very familiar human figures. He held his arm out in front of Davina to stop her. She looked up in confusion following his eyes.

"Kol?" She questioned and pulled her eyes back to him who was also looking confused. "What's wrong?"

"I thought my brother said they were on their way," Kol muttered adding to her confusion.

"Who?"

"I think that is Jeremy's sister," Kol said turning to Davina. "But I'm not sure."

"Let's get a closer look," Davina said walking towards the entrance before Kol could stop her. Kol flashed forward to where he was standing in front of her preventing her from taking another step.

"Wait a minute," Kol said looking down the open walk way where they were turning the corner and Kol then knew his suspicions were correct. "It may not be safe. Damon is with her and he is a vampire."

"So? You're Vampire," She said pointedly.

"Yes, but Damon tends to be a little impulsive and may see you and use you as leverage which I will not allow," Kol said as they walked down the walk way and Kol stopped at the corner looking to Davina. "Stay here," He said.

"But Kol," Davina began to argue.

"Davina, I am not asking," Kol said sternly.

"Fine," She said crossing her arms and he could tell she wasn't happy with him, but he didn't care as long as she safe. That was all that mattered to him at the moment. "Be careful." Kol smiled at the little witch, running his finger down her soft cheek before turning corner in the search of the Gilbert boy.

Davina sighed as she watched him go and she moved to where she could see around the corner without being seen. She wondered what he was going to do as he near Jeremy, who appeared to be talking to the girl, her eyes returned to Kol who had picked up a bat casually slinging it over his shoulder. Jeremy broke away from the girl, whose eye's widen at the sight of Kol.

"Damon, it's Kol," the girl said as she began to back up. The black haired vampire slowly turned to see what she was talking about only to be met with the end of a swinging bat. It breaking in half from the force of the impact.

Davina winced as she watch the vampire fall to his knees making her wonder if Kol knocked the vampire out as Jeremy yelled out at Kol.

"What the hell are you doing?" Jeremy asked angrily.

"Jeremy, get back. He's an Original," Elena cried.

"What?" Jeremy gaped as he turned to Kol.

"No hard feelings, Mate, but we're not buds," Kol confessed as he walked over to the bat rack running his hand over them before pulling out a metal bat. "You know I'll never get used to aluminum," He began as he looked over his choice of weapon and Davina rolled her eyes at his gab of humor in such a situation in which she could only guess what he was going to do with it. "But hey, at least it won't break," He said before swinging the bat at Damon, but Damon moved fast grabbing the bat and plunging the broken piece of bat in to Kol's stomach. Davina watched in horror as Kol dropped to the ground with the bat sticking out of his back.

"Did you kill him?" asked Jeremy sounding hopeful which angered Davina slightly, but she knew he was hurt at Kol's betrayal. They had really hit it off during the last week and Davina could tell that Kol had taken a liking towards him as she did.

"No," Damon grunted still a bit stunned from the bat attack as he struggled to get off the ground reaching for Elena. "But it will give us a head start. C'mon let's get out of here." He began pulling Elena towards where Davina was currently standing.

Davina gasped as she watched them heading her way. She looked for a place that she could hide in without being seen, but there was nothing so she hurried down the entrance way turning the corner. She sighed as turned around so that her back was to them and pulled out her phone putting it up to her ear acting like she was on the phone only hoping the Jeremy wouldn't recognize her. She heard them walking closer hearing bits of a hushed conversation causing her breath to catch. She now understood why Kol wanted her to stay where she was, who knows what could have happened. She closed her eyes as she felt them pass her back and turned her head and watched as they got into their car. At this, Davina put her phone back into her pocket and hurried back down the walkway. Turning the corner, the sight of him on the ground still shocked her as she fell to her knees beside him as she tried to figure out what to do. She looked around the place and she was thankful that there wasn't many people around because she didn't know how the hell she would explain it. Just like she didn't know how the hell she was going to get him off the ground nor did she know how the hell she would get that damn bat out of him either.

Uh oh.…...what is going to happen next? Stay tuned a lot more is to come!

Yes. Yes I am evil.

Hehe...it is fun!
