Hello again! The response to this story has been wonderful! Thank you so much! Sorry if this is a little short.
Chapter Four
"How long have you been standing there?" Davina asked narrowing her eyes at him.
"About five minutes," Marcel answered. "And you didn't even notice. What if I had been someone of danger?"
"You dangerous?" Kol snickered earning a cold glare from Marcel before he turned back to Davina.
"Are you okay?" Marcel asked.
"Now you are concerned," Kol said sarcastically.
"You can leave," Marcel said pointing to the door behind him.
"Stop," Davina said not in the mood for any arguments. "I'm fine."
"What happened?" Marcel asked.
"Magic again," Davina said. "It felt like a locator spell."
"Where?"
"The cemetery..."Davina said closing her eyes.
"Anything else?" Marcel asked. "Anyone that particularly stands out to you?"
"Sophie Deveraux," Davina answered. " And Bastianna Natale."
"The same ones..." Marcel grumbled raking a hand over her face. "I don't know how many times I had to tell them. I guess I need to make the message a bit more clearer."
"Bastianna," Kol muttered shaking his head. "That sly old bat."
"You know of her?" Davina asked surprised.
"Sure do," Kol nodded. "She was wicked way back when. I couldn't stand her."
"Well, I am gonna go and pay them a visit," Marcel said moving towards the door. "I'll bring you back lunch when I come back. Anything you want?"
"Whatever you get me will be fine," Davina answered.
"You know what," Kol said turning to Marcel. "I am gonna come with you. I want to see that woman's face drop when she sees me."
"Let's go," Marcel nodded then turned to Davina. "Stay here."
Davina gave him a look holding her hands up like a begging dog. "Woof."
Kol could not stop the laugh from escaping his mouth as Marcel rolled his eyes then turning around walking out of the room. Kol waited a few seconds before turning back to Davina. "That was priceless. You just became my favorite person."
"Well at least I have a fan," Davina muttered with a small smile. Kol sighed as he hated seeing her locked up this way. That was something he was going to talk to Marcel about.
"You do with me," Kol sent her a gentle smile. "I better catch up with him. I'll see you in a few if you want."
"Sure," She nodded as she laid back on her bed as Kol walked out of the door and down the stairs to an awaiting Marcel.
"What?" Kol asked him.
"Nothing," Marcel said shaking his head. "When we get there. I will do the talking."
"Yes Master," Kol said earning the fourth or fifth glare from Marcel as they walked out of the church.
The cemetery
It didn't take long for Kol and Marcel to arrive at the cemetery. Kol held back to stay out of sight as Marcel approached the opened gated.
"Sophie!" Marcel yelled into the entrance as he was unable to go any further due to the witches not allowing anything but witches on such sacred ground.
"Sophie!" Marcel yelled again. "Show yourself this instance."
"What do you want Marcel?" came a feminine voice on Kol recognized as Bastianna.
"I want to talk to Sophie," Marcel said crossing his arm and deepening his glare. "Now."
"I'm afraid that she is not available," said Bastianna haughtily making Kol roll his eyes.
"Fine," Marcel grounded out. "I want to talk about the little locator spell that you performed this morning."
"You have no proof," Bastianna denied. "Beside the rules state that when can do magic here."
"Yes here," Marcel nodded. "But this spell was done in the middle of the quarter and I am here to tell that I am not pleased."
"I don't care if you are pleased or now Vampire," She said as her voice turned icy. "I don't why you can't see it. The Harvest needs to be completed. We want Davina Claire and we will get that girl. It is just a matter of time."
"I wouldn't be so sure of that," Kol said stepping into the entrance of the cemetery. "Because now you will have to talk to me now." He smirked as the lady's jaw dropped open. "Hello, Bastianna."
"Kol Mikaelson..."She breathed as fear entered her eyes and Kol shivered with excitement.
"I bet you were not expecting to see me huh?" He said coldly as his lip straighten. "I hear that your coven has performed a Harvest."
Bastianna didn't say a word which made Kol nod. "If I remember correctly...that was outlawed in this city remember?"
"It needs to be performed." Bastianna stammered her eyes wide.
"That is not what I asked you," Kol said smoothly. "It was outlawed right?"
"No," Bastianna shook her head.
"Wrong," Kol said in a low voice. "It was outlawed because my family outlawed it. In fact, we said if another one was performed that there would be very serious consequences."
"It was outlawed?" Marcel asked.
"Nik had just taken you in when the last Harvest took place," Kol explained. "We thought it was such an atrocious event. We said if we're to ever hear of another event that we would wipe out the entire coven."
"You can't do anything," Bastianna boasted.
"You don't think I can?" Kol asked keeping his face void of any emotion as he walked through the gate. "I think otherwise."
Bastianna took a stepped back as Kol entered the sacred place. "H-ow is that possible?" She stuttered.
"I was friends with some great witches about a hundred years ago," Kol reminded her. "I spent a lot of time in this place teaching them. How do you think dark objects came to this city? Now how about I offer you a deal?" He took a step towards the elder witch. "I will spare you of your deaths on one factor. If I do have to kill you, which I hope will not be the case, it could alert my family members to the city and I am guessing that is something you do not want to happen?"
"What do I have to do?" Bastianna asked.
"Leave Davina Claire alone and if you ever approach her by any means, I will kill you all." Kol dropped his voice to a deadly utter to know the witch that he was not playing around.
"You have yourself a deal," Bastianna nodded. "Now leave and don't come back."
"I am glad we had this talk," Kol smiled. "Have a good day." He finished politely as turned walking out of the cemetery with Marcel without another glance back missing the sadistic grin slowly forming on the witches face.
Kol and Marcel entered Bourbon Street with smiles on their face as Marcel was filled with laughter. "I have never seen her so close to shitting in her pants like that." He guffawed as the walked through crowds of people and entered Rousseau's. "Want a drink?"
"I could use one," Kol admitted. "I miss causing fear in people. I was thought I was losing my touch," He took an empty seat at the bar and Marcel dropped into the empty one beside it.
"Cami," Marcel called out as there was no one behind the bar.
"Starting early?" asked Cami as she walked in from the back drying her hands on a hand towel. "Another one?" She nodded towards Kol.
"Another one what?" asked Kol not knowing what she meant.
"New vampire." She stated simply causing Kol to look at Marcel since he was not used to someone being so open about it. "My brother was a big-time into the supernatural and it ended in his death and he shared most of his adventures with me."
"I am a vampire," Kol nodded. "But I am certainly not new."
"The usual?" asked Cami.
"Please," Marcel nodded and Cami placed two glasses and a bottle of bourbon on the counter.
Marcel poured himself a drink and was about to take his first sip when his phone rang. "Ugh." He said as he answered. "Yeah, Thierry?" He listened for a few minutes. "I'll be right there." He hangs up and turned to Cami. "Something needs my attention at the docks. Will you take Davina some lunch?"
"Sure thing," Cami nodded. Marcel sent her a thankful smile before hurrying out the door.
"I can take it to her if you'd like," Kol offered as he poured himself another drink. "That is if you can't get away."
"That would be wonderful," Cami smiled. "I'll get started on it."
Meanwhile, at the church, Davina was in the sanctuary with Josh as she resumed practicing her control and talking with Josh.
"So I am guessing that I can't ask Kol out?" asked Josh smirking as Davina dropped the rose in her hand.
"What does that mean?" She asked placing her hands on her hips.
"Well the guy is hot," Josh said.
"I haven't noticed," Davina denied as she bent down to pick up the flower. "I am trying to concentrate."
"You have been trying to get the rose to bloom for over an hour," Josh pointed out. "And it is still black."
"Shut up," Davina huffed as she glared at the flower. "Do you want to try?"
"You are the witch," Josh smirked from his seat in the front pew. "Not me."
"I don't know what is wrong with me," Davina said stomping her foot.
"Maybe because you are thinking about-" Josh began to say but Davina cut him off.
"I am not thinking about Kol!" She tossed making Josh laugh out loud.
"I was not going to say that," He said lounging his head back looking up at the ceiling.
"Oh," Davina blushed. "I'm sorry." She felt bad for biting his head off.
"Try relaxing," Josh suggested. "Push every thought out and try again."
Davina nodded as she closed her eyes and took in a deep breath in for a second then let it out. She shut everything out of her mind and began to chant softly over and over until she felt the gentle flow of magic rush through her veins, like little rivers of warm water until she felt the spell complete making her open her eye to see a fully bloomed yellow rose. She felt a wide smile come about her face and turned to Josh.
"Pretty cool," He nodded impressed as he will never get used to seeing magic and smiled when she handed it to him. "For me?" Josh asked taking the prickly stem between his fingers. "You know the last time I got flowers were from my boyfriend and my parents found them and made me throw them away."
"Parents suck," Davina said as she felt a strange sense of magic come over her. She looked around trying to locate because it felt far and near at the same time like it was trying to cancel itself out. Then turned towards the door with a scowl on her face.
"Davina?" Joshed asked concern getting up. "What wrong?" Walking to her side in a hurry as the church door flew open and five women stepped inside chanting with their arms raised and Josh grabbed Davina pushing her behind him as his fangs appeared ready to fight, but the witches were to fast as they forced their magic towards him and felt a pain enter his neck.
"Josh!" Davina watched as Josh dropped to the floor her mouth opened wide as the witches made their way towards her. She growled through her teeth as she held up her hand to fight with her own magic, but nothing worked. She flicked bother of her wrist at the group but nothing came.
Davina shook her hands willing her magic to come to her, but it just wouldn't come! "C'mon!" She cried as one of the witches took Davina's moment of weakness hurrying forward and slapped a hand over mouth. Davina felt dizzy from the strong scent of herbs in the hand and she could feel herself getting so drowsy that her eyes could hardly stay open as her body gave into sleep.
I know this chapter is a little shorter, but I felt as if this was the end of this chapter leaving it on the edge and you wanting more. Stayed tuned as there is a lot more to come.
