Hey everyone! Thanks for all of your support and reads. I want to give a big thanks to Ilookhotinblack for sparking an idea. It really helped. Don't forget to leave a tiny little review for me as I love getting them!

The next evening, Kol stood in front of the gates of the St. Anne's church once again. This time he felt nervous to go inside because he didn't know what to expect. He knew that he should have sooner, but couldn't make himself complete the journey. He held in his hand was a cup of cookie dough ice cream hoping it would give him step in the right directions with her as he bid her goodbye. Never had saying goodbye to someone had been so hard for Kol because no one had ever gotten under his skin like Davina had in the short time he known her. All he did know, that he did not want her to hate him; maybe that was why he having such trouble entering the place. He had been a vampire for a very long time and tonight was the first time he ever truly felt as if he was a monster.

Feeling slightly disgusted with himself for the his brief moment of weakness, Kol forced himself to go through the gates and into the church. Soon he found himself standing in front of the close door of the attic, taking a deep breath he knocked on the door. Why was he feeling so nervous for? What if she didn't want to see him? He could hear the gentle padding of her feet on the floor as she walked and after what felt like forever the door opened revealing her angelic face with her hair held half way up with a rhinestone hair clip.

"Kol," Davina smiled gently her voice was sweet. "Come in." She said.

"I hope I am not intruding," He said holding up the ice cream as he entered her room. "I brought you something."

"Ooh," She said as Kol stood memorized was the roundness of her lips. "And you even got my favorite. How did you know?" She took the ice cream from him using the spoon that was stuck in the dessert bringing it to her mouth. "Yum." She sighed and turned to see Kol standing in front of the window staring out to the city as if his mind was somewhere else. "Are you okay?"

"What?" He asked tearing his eyes away from the view to her.

"You seem distracted," She replied. "What is on your mind?"

"A lot of things," Kol confessed. "Don't worry about me, Darling. How are you?" He asked as he took in her beautiful face searching for any signs of distressed.

"I am dealing," She said as she took another bite of ice cream before setting it down. "I couldn't fight back." Davina sighed looking at her hands. "I never felt so helpless."

"That was a dirty trick of them to do," He nodded as he agreed breaking his gaze before turning back to the window. Davina bit her lip as she tried to figure out what to do. There was something wrong.

"Kol," Davina murmured softly. "What's wrong?"

"I'm just thinking about last night," Kol answered not moving his gaze. "I never liked killing witches. What you must think of me." He muttered in disgust.

"Kol," She said moving forward. "I-" She started to say but was cut off by Kol.

"I am so sorry," Kol said turning to her. "Killing them like that in front of you."

Davina didn't know what to say. All day she was wondering if she saw him again what to say to him and he was looking at her as if he was expecting her to hate him. His eyes were clouded making them look stormy as she could tell there was something else bothering him before he them to the floor. She didn't know him all that well, but anyone could see it. One thing she did know if that would not be standing here today if had he not saved her and she couldn't be more grateful for anyone in her life at the moment. She did the only thing that came to her mind. Davina closed the gap between them rapidly throwing her arms tightly around his middle her head laying on his chest. She could feel him tense at her actions but she didn't let go. "Thank you." She whispered. "Thank you for everything."

Kol didn't know what to do or say because he was not used to such actions. He was used to people fearing him as he watched their lives drain from their eyes, but never had anyone openly hug him beside his siblings and the last time he experienced one of their hugs was not in recent memory. "You don't hate me?" He asked.

"Is that what you think?" Davina asked stepping back breaking their embrace and Kol missed it immediately the warm that suddenly went away. "Because I don't hate you. How could I?" She reached up cupping both sides of his jaw to make sure he didn't look away from her. "You are my hero."

"I am no hero, Davina Claire," Kol shook his head.

"To me you are," Davina said firmly. "Because if it was not for you twice now, I would not be a live."

"Do you trust me?" Kol asked softly needing her answer.

"Yes," Davina replied almost immediate.

"Then come with me," Kol said to her. "I want to show you something."

"Okay."

"What are we doing here?" asked Davina as she eyed the gates to the cemetery with disdain.

"There is something that I want to give you," Kol said as he looked into the cemetery. "But I need your help to get to it."

"Which is?" Davina asked looking to Kol for more information.

"C'mon," He said nudging forward with his head. "Nothing is going to hurt you."He promised looking to her and she could see in his eyes that he was telling the truth.

"Alright," Davina nodded making Kol smile as he entered with Davina following closely behind. Kol took her down long path before coming to stop before a tomb. "What is this place?" asked Davina looking to Kol confused.

"This used to my playhouse," Kol answered looking up at the ancient building. "Until I pissed off the witch who granted me access to this tomb and she locked me out about 100 years ago. In order to get inside I need your blood."

"Why my blood?" asked Davina.

"Because the witch that locked me out of here was your grandmother Mary-Alice," Kol explained as he ran a hand down the stone. "Only a Claire witch can open it. So will you please open it for me."

Davina eyed Kol for a moment before pulling her hair clip out of her hair. "What do I need to do?"

Kol took the clip from Davina and held up his hand. "May I?" He asked pointing to her hand and she slowly held it up and Kol took it into his hand noting that they were as soft as they looked and opened her hand looking at her palm. He the pad of his index finger along the lines of her palm as he identified each one in his mind. After finding the one he needed, he quickly ran the point of the clip along her flesh as blood quickly flowed to the surface."Sorry," He said.

"That didn't even hurt," Davina laughed. "It's like getting a really good person to with a needle to take your blood."

"Huh?" Kol looked at her confused her face lit up again with laughter making her even more adorable.

"When humans need their blood taken for blood tests," Davina started. "There are people who are really bad at it and make you scream and there are ones who do it and you can barely feel the pinch."

"Okay..." Kol said eyeing her weirdly as he lifted her hand and pressed it to the door of the tomb which started to creak as it opened to reveal a dusty hallway. "Come on," He gestured gently as he walked inside, turning a corner he turned on a light to reveal a room full of different objects, some caked in dust. There were shelves full of various objects, a table that looked like a chemistry lab set up, some couches.

"Where did you get all of this stuff?" asked Davina awed as she walked along the shelves stopping to look at an object that caught her mind.

"Well, I am a vampire," Kol answered as he walked around on the other side. "I charmed some witches and taught them a new kind of magic, one that I learned in Arabia called Kemyia. I couldn't do witchcraft once I turned, but it didn't stop me from learning everything that I could trying to get back what was stolen from me. I taught them how to make totems that allowed me to do magic without having to us it."

"You taught them how to make dark object," Davina said as she picked up a small object looking at it. "Why did you betray her?"

"I didn't mean too," Kol said. "I was working with her to create a weapon to put my brother Nik down and Marcel and my sister Rebekah sold me out to him and they ended up locking her that prison. Nik daggered me shortly after that only to let me out after a short time ago."

"I'm sorry," Davina murmured softly as she could see the hurt in his eyes wanting nothing more than to take that hurt away.

"There was one thing I have wanted for many years," Kol sighed looking far away dreamily. "To shove a dagger in his heart like he has done to me so many times, but things have changed. One of my brothers were killed recently."

"Oh Kol," Davina whispered as more pain entered his eyes and his handsome face matched it.

"I may not get along with my family nor felt as if I belonged with them," said Kol sitting down in a stool. "But never have I wished that upon them." Kol confessed. "When it comes to my family, I will do anything for them to make sure harm doesn't come their way unless its from me. Or the people I come to care about which is why I brought you here tonight." He got out of his chair and walked over to the far corner where there was a trunk. He fiddled with the latch before pulling up on the lid and dug around inside.

Davina watched as Kol's face lit up as he found what he was looking for and stood up returning to his seat. She realized how much she liked hearing his stories and felt as if she could learn so much from him. He could go from wise gentleman to a deadly vampire so quickly. She also liked the way his eyes lit up when he was talking about something he loved such as witchcraft or his siblings.

"This here," Kol said as he held up a thin silver bracelet. "Is a dark object called the Bracelet of Control." He began and then pointed to a small gem in the shape of a star. "And this here is called the Shining Star. What this bracelet does is protect the witch it is placed on to keep her magic from going out of control especially very powerful ones and this star protects the witch from muting herbs."

"What are muting herbs?" Davina asked.

"It is a herb that mutes a witches power and prevents them from doing magic," Kol explained. "Like they did to you when the kidnapped you."

"How did you know they used it on me?" Davina wondered looking at the bracelet.

"The witch dropped some on the floor and I was able to recognize it along with herb to put you asleep." Kol answered as he worked on the clasp to open it.

"So that is why I couldn't do anything," Davina gasped realizing what he was telling her. "And this whole time I thought it was my fault."

"Trust me, Darling," Kol shook his head. "It wasn't. Hold up your wrist for me?" Smiling as she did as he asked.

Davina watched as Kol wrapped the chain around her small wrist twice before locking the clasp. "You're giving it to me?"

"I want you to have it," Kol nodded smirking slightly. "So that you can be protected while I am gone."

"Gone?" Davina looked up as she caught the word and it clicked in her head. "So that is what was wrong."

"What do you mean?" Kol questioned tilting his head to the side trying to understand.

"When you got there, I could tell that something was bothering you. You're leaving," Davina guessed and felt the breath leave her chest because even though he had just entered her life, he already felt as if he were to be a permanent part of it.

"I don't want to go," Kol confessed. "It just that my family needs me."

"Kol, you don't owe me an explanation," Davina said leaning forward placing a hand on his. "I understand."

"I will be back as soon as I am finished," Kol promised looking down at her hand. "I just didn't want to go without saying goodbye."

"I am glad that you did," Davina said softly smiling brightly. "I wish you didn't have to go, but whatever it is you have to do, please be careful." She pleaded trying to catch those deep brown eyes of his wondering what was going through his mind.

"I will," Kol nodded as he felt as if she was trying to read his mind, but the smile on her face didn't reach her eyes as it always had before and even though she was trying to be strong by putting on a brave face he could tell that she was as crushed about him leaving as he was and that was when a crazy idea hit him and the words flew out of his mouth before he could stop them. "Come with me," He said quickly not blinking as her blue eyes widen.

"What?" She asked as if she could not believe what she was hearing. Maybe her mind was playing tricks on her or maybe she was daydreaming.

"Come with me," He repeated, but this time much firmer. "Take a chance to see the world Davina. There are more things out there then this wretched city and you deserve to see it. Let me start your world adventure by going to Denver with me." Kol smiled at her hoping that she would take the chance and truthfully he was tired of being along all the time and no matter how much time he had spent with Davina, it never felt long enough.

"I would have to ask Marcel," Davina answered as the offer did sound very appealing and the thought of getting away from New Orleans for just a short while made her excited. She always did want to see the world, to learn more about magic and maybe this could be what she needed.

"Fine," Kol nodded. "If you don't like it. I promise that I will bring you back home and I will keep you safe. What do you say?"

Davina smiled as he looked like a small boy asking for something that meant everything to him. "Can I see snow?" She asked smiling as his eyes lit up at words.

Kol, shocked at her words, returned her smiled and nodded. "As you wish Darling." For the first time in a thousand years, Kol felt truly excited about something that didn't include blood or murder, but something good and something that made him feel good and that was Davina.

"Then yes," Davina nodded. "I will go with you, even if Marcel says no."

"I can always compel him to say yes," Kol suggested wiggling his eyes brows as a smirk sprouted on his face

"No," Davina shook her head as she pulled out her phone tapping at her screen with a speed that Kol could only admire, he still was having trouble understanding certain things, before putting it up to her ear.

"Hey D," Marcel's voice said through the phone.

"Hey Marcel," Davina smiled. "Are you busy?"

"I am never too busy for you," Marcel assured. "What's up?"

"I was wondering if I could talk to you about something," Davina said lightly.

"I'm on my way," Marcel said and Davina could hear him doing something in the background making her hope that she wasn't disturbing him.

"Okay," Davina said ending the call then returned her attention back to Kol. "We need to leave now if we want to beat him."

"There is one good thing about knowing a vampire," Kol said as got out of his seat as Davina made her way through the tomb to the door turning back to see him outing the lights.

"And what's that?"

Kol smirked as they stepped outside and he closed the door behind them then turned to her. "Close your eyes." Davina's raised an eyebrow at him and pinned him who those curious eyes she tended to get when she was working hard trying to figure something out as he learned about her. "You trust me right?"

Davina nodded as she closed her eyes and felt her breath catch when she felt both of his hand gently grip her arms and pulled her closer to him. Soon she felt her body gliding through the air at a fast speed, but didn't feel as if she would fall to ground if she were to stop and soon it came to an end. She opened her eyes to see them standing in front of the church doors and turned to Kol who was standing there as if nothing had ever happened.

"You can get anywhere in a hurry," Kol commented as he opened the doors for her.

"Thank you," Davina curtsied giggling at his kind gesture before going through the doors and walked down the aisle going up the few steps of alter to the piano where she sat down.

"Do you play?" Kol asked as he followed her.

"I do," She nodded as she pushed back the flap that was over the keys as and her fingers brushed over them. "I started taking lessons when I was a small child and I enjoyed it."

"Interesting," Kol said as walked around the stool sitting beside her. "May I?

"May you what?" Davina asked looking up at him. Kol didn't say anything as he moved his fingers skillfully among the keys in a familiar melody.

"Show off," Davina rolled her eyes playfully.

"Another thing that I have a love for is music," Kol said over the music. "Music is one of the best languages that was ever made even if it is in a foreign language you can understand the mood and feeling just by listening. This piece here is called Nocturnes 9 by Choplin," He finished as his finger hit the last note. "I missed music and it as also grown with the modern ages."

"D!"

Davina was about to say something when she heard Marcel call out her name making her turn to see him walking towards them.

"Hey Marcel," Davina smiled as she walked over meeting him half way.

"What is it that you want to talk to me about?" Marcel asked. "Are you okay?" He ran his eyes over the younger girl as she seemed to be getting a little nervous.

"Let her come to Denver with me," Kol spoke up from his spot on the piano stool.

"What?" Marcel tore his eyes away from Davina to Kol instantly. "Are you serious?"

"As ever," Kol nodded.

"No," Marcel shook his head adamantly. "Absolutely not."

"Please," Davina said looking to her father figure. "I really want to go."

"Davina," Marcel said looking to her sternly. "Think about this for a second."

"I have," Davina said just as sternly. "I really want to go."

"Last night you said that you wished that you could get her out of the city," Kol said repeating Marcel's word.

"I did, but-" Marcel turned to glared at the older vampire. "What is your business in Denver anyway?"

"I like it there," Kol answered smoothly. "And it is lovely there. I want to see the entire country to see how it has grown since I was last daggered in which you had a part in."

Marcel's glare deepened at Kol's word as he remembered the incident quite well how it all went down.

"This is her chance," Kol added. "She will be perfectly safe with me and after everything she has been through, she needs this."

Marcel ran a hand through his hair then turned to Davina. "Is this something that you really want to do?" He asked seriously. "He is not forcing you to go?"

"If I was forcing her to go I would have taken her without talking to you first," Kol snipped, but Marcel ignored him as he awaited Davina's answer.

"Yes," Davina said nodding. "I really want to do this." She crossed her fingers in her mind as she could see Marcel caving a little as he struggled with his internal battle.

"If I let you go, there are certain conditions I want met," He told her. "I want you to call me a couple times a week to let me know that you are safe, Davina. The second is if you don't like it that Kol will bring you straight home."

"Deal," Davina nodded quickly as Marcel turned to Kol.

"If something happens to her I will have your head on a pike," Marcel threatened icily as he was not happy about the arrangements, but if it made Davina happy then he would go with it as the girl deserved it.

"I'm taking her to a city for a vacation," Kol said haughtily. "Not taking her out of the city to go to war."

Marcel rolled his eyes as he turned to Davina who had this hopeful look on her face and smiled at her. "You can go."

"Thank you," Davina cried throwing her arms around Marcel who chuckled as he held the girl close pressing a kiss to her head.

"When will you be leaving?" Marcel asked looking to Kol.

"We can go in the morning," He answered. "So you can have time to pack and rest." Kol got up walking down to them.

Davina nodded as the smile had yet to leave her face as she hurried up her to room ecstatic that she was finally going to free of the place. Kol watched her bounce her way up the stairs then turned to see Marcel staring him down.

"Please don't make me regret this," Marcel threatened. "I already had to pick up her broken pieces once, I don't want to do it again."

"I won't hurt her," Kol nodded. "I wouldn't dream of it."

Marcel raised an eyebrow at Kol's words as he was not used to the Kol in front of him or maybe he never really gotten the chance to know him and just went by the words of Klaus. "Good," He nodded.

"We'll I am going to take off to get everything situated for tomorrow," Kol said as he moved towards the doors. "Tell her I will be by early as we have quite a drive ahead."

"I will," Marcel said watching as Kol disappeared through the door before turning to go up the stairs to help Davina pack for her trip and to definitely talk to her more because he was not all that comfortable sending her miles away with one of the most sadistic vampires he had ever known.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I want to give another shout out to ilookhotinblack for this chapter for mentioning the playhouse which sparked an idea. I hope there was enough Kol and Davina moments in this chapter because even I was feeling a little fluffy, but stay tuned there is a lot more to come...a lot more.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter as the next one will be up soon as I finish writing it. I hope everyone had a great holiday and I will see you next time,
