Hey everyone! Thank you for the review Tessa! I am glad you like the story!
Davina turned to see the empty batting cage and an idea came to her mind. She got to her feet before squatting down slipping her hands under his arms just below his arm pits. Davina let out a breath because she knew this was going to be a job to move him. She stood up as she pulled him, but he was heavier than she thought. She tugged on him with all her strength and managed moved him only what seemed like an inch. She stopped for moment before pulling on him again this harder and his body moved a few more inches. Gritting her teeth, she pulled harder her arms aching against his dead weight only stopping to open the door to the cage.
She moved back to pull him as gently as she could so she wouldn't hit the object. She winced at she looked at the bloody bat as she could only imagine how it felt and she knew that he was going to fine, but that didn't meant it was any less painful. She let him go for a minute because her arms were sore. She didn't know a vampire could weigh so damn much and she had managed to break a sweat. She sighed in relief as she managed to finally pull him through the threshold.
Davina rolled him on to his side grabbing the handle of the bat and pulled it out of his stomach tossing it to the ground. She then pulled his body up into a sitting position, lifting his shirt examining the wound to see if there were any more pieces of wood that she may have missed because it wasn't healing as it was supposed to. Davina took off her jacket as she was going to it to put pressure to the wound. Clenching her eyes shut, she forced her hand into his stomach trying to stop her own from losing its contents as she felt around for anything. Pushing her hand a bit more her knuckles brushed up against the bottom of his rib case as her fingers hit something that did not feel anything bone or flesh. She pulled her hand out with the piece of wood in her grasp and the wound. Chucking it away, she picked up her jacket bunching it up then pressing it to the wound as it began to slowly heal. Suddenly, Kol jerked up grimacing from the pain that was wracking through his middle, breathing heavily as he worked out what happened in his brain. His eyes landed on Davina who was concentrating on his abdomen. He was glad that she was safe from harm
"I think I got all of it out," She said tilting her head as she lifted the fabric off of it. Davina lifted her eyes to meet his and she felt a weight lift off her shoulders. "You know when I said be careful?" She asked. "This is not what I meant." She gave a slight laugh as she she shook her head.
"Did they see you?" Kol asked worriedly.
"No," Davina shook her head. "I don't think so." She lowered her eyes back to his stomach pulling the jacket away.
"Good,"He grimaced again as he moved leaning back against the fence as he felt anger flood his being. "I am kill each and every one of them. Since I can't kill the doppelganger, I will kill her brother in front of her."
"You will not kill Jeremy," Davina scolded evenly. "He is a sweet kid and it is not his fault that he's been dragged into this mess." She pulled the jacket to see if it had heal and let out a sigh of frustration. "Why isn't this healing at it should?"
"We heal faster if we drink blood after we are injured," Kol said closing his eyes as he grabbed on to the fence using it to pull himself up, but didn't make it far before dropping back to the ground. "This sucks."
Davina sighed as she knew that there were no blood bags in the car and there was no one around leaving them with only one option. "Take my blood," She offered and Kol immediately shook his head refusing.
"No way," He said, but Davina was not taking 'no' for an answer and pushed the sleeve of her right arm up from her wrist and held it up for him to take.
"We don't have any other option," She said trying to reason with him, but he still shook his head no.
"I will be fine until we get back to the cabin. Just give me a few minutes," Kol said earnestly. He couldn't take her blood and he noticed her blood stained hands. "Did you pull it out of me?" He asked looking up to her face as she nodded.
"A piece of the bat broke off as I do so and I had to get it out," Davina explained before sending an annoyed look his way. "Now stop trying to change the subject. Take my blood," She said softly. "Please?"
"Davina-" Kol started to say, but she cut him off and this time her voice was stern.
"Kol Mikaelson, if you don't bite my write in the next thirty seconds, I am going to shove that bat back into your stomach," Davina threatened her eyes blazing.
Kol stared at his witch for a moment and could tell the she was completely serious as she moved her wrist closer to his mouth. The smell out her blood running through her veins hit his nose making his veins raise under his eyes and he would feel the pressure from the need to feed. Kol looked into her eyes silently asking her if she was sure. Davina nodded and Kol felt his fangs extend down as he lowered his mouth to her flesh. He opened his lips sinking his fangs into her skin as gently as he could watching her face to make sure he was not causing her an ounce of pain.
Davina closed her eyes as she could feel the loss of her blood almost instantly. It felt as she was floating and began to feel a bit woozy. Kol took a little bit more before pulling back with a drop of blood leaving a thin trail down his chin. "Did you have enough?" She asked.
"I don't need a whole lot," Kol explained as the pain in his middle was fading away a lot more quickly. It would be completely gone in no time. "Thank you," He said tenderly and Davina wiped the blood off his face.
"You're welcome," She murmured softly with a smile.
"We need to find Mary," Kol said as got of the ground to his feet. "And get cleaned up," He looked down at his bloody shirt. "I just bought this bloody shirt too."
"That would be nice," Davina agreed as she looked down at her own self. Both of her hands were stained with his blood and she had managed to get some on her shirt as well and her jacket… there was no saving that thing at least it wasn't her favorite and she could always get another one.
"You are a right mess," He teased at the sight of her.
"No more than you," Davina bit back even though she wore a smile the whole time.
"Let's get out of here," Kol suggested wrapping an arm around her shoulders pulling her back to the car so they could go home, but not before stopping to pick up both of the bats, including the one that he had be impaled with.
Davina was searching through one of her grimoires for the spell she needed. She was trying to find a locator spell that didn't require the blood or something owned by the person in question, but there was nothing.
"Anything?" Kol asked as she closed the book pushing away from her. She had been looking for the past three hours and she hadn't been successful and she was beginning to get frustrated.
"No," She grumbled. "I have looked in six different book and looked at countless spell and they all say the same thing."
Kol swore from where he was standing as he was beginning to get frustrated as well. Who knew it would be this hard to find an old vampire. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. He hit the screen and few times before putting up to his ear as he took a seat next to Davina who had opened another book flipping through the pages. He admired her spirit of not giving up. The phone rang a few times before it was accepted.
"Elijah," Kol said into the phone.
"Kol? What a surprise? What sort of trouble have you caused today that I will have to clean up little brother?" Elijah asked causing Davina to look up from her book to glare at the phone. Kol chuckled at his witch who looked like she was ready to jump through the phone, but Kol was not phased.
"Ha ha. Listen, do you remember Mary Porter?" Kol asked not wasting any time because well, he didn't have time to waste.
"Mary Porter… I haven't heard that name in centuries brother," Elijah commented silkily. "What about her?"
"I need to find her and I have no idea where she is," Kol explained looking at Davina as she was staring into space blankly. "So I have a witch that can do a locator spell, but we need something of Mary, something she owned."
"A witch?" asked Elijah. "Who exactly is this witch?"
"Someone who I trust," Kol answered.
"Trust? You haven't been out no more than two months," Elijah began. "How?"
"You know I have always gotten along with the witches of this world, Elijah," Kol explained, but revealed nothing.
"Mischief and secrets. This is how you landed yourself back in your coffin." Elijah reminded and Davina lunged to take the phone, but Kol shot out of the way shaking his head. Then she opened her mouth to yell but Kol put his finger to his lips telling her to be quiet. "If I find out that you have caused this witch an ounce of suffering or her family I make sure-"
"Elijah," Kol interjected cutting Elijah off. "Can you help me or not?"
"You are at our cabin in Denver, right?" Elijah questioned thoughtfully.
"Yes, that is correct," Kol nodded as he walked around the living room.
"I have a token of hers in my safe in my room," Elijah began. "Remember when Mary Porter sold us out of one of the Five?"
"Yes," Kol said as he hurried up the stairs in search of Elijah's room.
"She did so in revenge for Klaus turning her in to vampire," His brother continued. "So I took this from her."
"What is it?" asked Kol as he walked into the room.
"Her daylight ring," Elijah answered causing Kol to chuckled.
"So I took her daylight ring from her as way of revenge," Elijah commented. "And that we would one day meet again and that she would not like the results of the meeting. She has been on the run ever since then. I also warned if she ever were to acquire another that I would find her instantly."
"And here I thought you were the noble one," Kol teased. "Where is this safe?"
"Under one of my floorboards."
Kol looked over the hardwood floor and noted there were many floor boards. "Which one?" He rolled his eyes.
"The third floor board in front of the closet door," Elijah directed and Kol marched over to the closet studying the floor until he found the one he was looking for. He kneeled down pressing on the board causing it to pop up to reveal a large safe with a combination lock.
"Found it," He told Elijah who then gave him the numbers for the lock and after two tries, he was able to open the door.
Kol leafed through the contents of the safe looking for this ring. There was so much junk in there he couldn't believe this was Elijah's safe. "Are you sure this is your safe?"
"Why would I joke about such a thing?"
"Because you are the neat freak of our family and this is anything but," Kol said pulling things out. "Still not seeing the ring."
"It should be there," Elijah told him as Kol pulled out an object a glass rose that he knew was a dark object that helped create so long ago.
"This is mine," Kol told him as he held up the rose. "I was wondering what had happened to the dark rose."
"I thought you were looking for a ring," Elijah uttered.
"I am," Kol said as he continued his search until his hand touched the wall of the safe. Still no ring. "Are you sure it is here?"
"Positive. It is in a small box," Elijah told him and Kol remembered seeing a box through his searching and shuffled back through the safe until the box came into sight. He pulled it out of the safe and opened the box. It was a small gold ring with a wide band. The band consisted of what looked like hearts and large oval blue stone in the middle with twists in the gold making it look surrounded with the tops of hearts. There was no signs of it being over 600 years old or more as it looked brand new.
"Found it," Kol said as he quickly placed everything he pulled out back in closing the safe with a small snap.
"Will it work?" asked Elijah.
"This is about as good as blood," Kol answered as he made his way back down stairs to where Davina was setting a map on the table with a string.
"Now for this witch-," Elijah began but Kol didn't have time nor wanted to answer.
"Bye Elijah," Kol said ending the call placing it in to his pocket as he made his way to Davina who was watching him.
"Why don't you want your family to know about me?" She asked.
"Because, my family isn't always the nicest and can be a bit nasty," Kol answered. "I don't want them to know about you so they can use you for their needs or as leverage against me."
"Why would they do that?" Davina asked crossing her arms.
"Because they can," Kol looked at her, "I won't have you be the target in the cross fire of one our spats."
"I can handle myself," Davina defended herself.
"I have no doubts about that, Love," Kol said gently. "It is mainly Klaus as we don't always see eye to eye and he can be nasty spiteful bastard when he wants to."
"I just hate when they put you down like that," Davina shook her head turning back to the table. "Do you have what we need?"
"I do," Kol nodded holding up the ring. "Mary's daylight ring."
"Perfect," Davina said holding out her hand in which Kol set it in. Then Davina placed in on a string and held it above a map of the whole United States. She closed her eyes and began to chant as pictures began to flash in her mind of a house it looked blue and old. The yard had a lot of tall trees and the house looked almost abandoned.
"Ce che vous,
pro la busque.
Ce che vous,
pro la busque.
Ce che vous,
pro la busque."
Davina repeated the chant again and Kol watched on the map as sand began to form on the map. It began to make a line going east towards the Atlantic Ocean, stretching out until it stopped in the state of Kansas which surprised Kol as Davina uttered the last word of the spell before opening her eyes. Davina followed the trail with her finger until the end.
"Mary Porter lives in Colby, Kansas," Davina asked as she did the math in her head. "That is about 3 and half hours from here."
"What do you say Davina Claire?" Kol smirked as he looked up to his brilliant witch. "We go pay old Scary Mary a visit?"
"I say let's get out of here," Davina answered with a smirk of her own and looking too damn sexy for her own good as she once again knocked Kol breathless as he reached for his keys.
"Lead the way, Darling." He said.
"I can't believe you just stole a phone book from that diner back there," Davina said. They had stopped to get something to eat and for Kol to get a little more blood, this time from traveler from California, after the had arrived in Colby.
"It's not like there are going to miss it," Kol said as he flipped through the book looking for the P section.
Davina shook her head as she came to a red traffic light. "What are we going to do when we get there?"
"We are just going to have a proper chat," Kol said with a deadly glint in his eyes telling her he was thinking of something more than talking.
"Just talking?" She asked raising an eyebrow at him.
"It may get a bit bloody," Kol admitted causing her laugh.
"You are evil," Davina teased as she turned left since the road a head had sign saying dead end. She was looking out for anything suspicious that stood out to her. Then it was also dark out, so the lack of sun light did not help anything.
"Just living up to the name, Love," Kol smiled as went back to his book as Davina glanced at each house as she passed. She turned right on to another road so she could driving slowing down a bit as the speed limit was about 25. She glanced to her left and the flashes of the house came back to her she hid the brakes.
"Kol," She murmured as she matched the trees to what she saw and the house appeared to be blue.
"Hmm?"
"I think this is it," Davina answered turning to him leaning forward to look at the house and the smell of his cologne hit her nose making her want more. Why did he always have to smell so damn good?
"How can you be sure?" Kol asked as he studied the house closely.
"When I did the spell," She started, "I also got visions of the house and this is almost identical to what I saw. It the trees that stand out the most."
"There is only one way to find out," Kol said and pointed up the road. "Park over there. We don't want to be too suspicious." Davina nodded as she moved her foot to the pedal giving the car a little gas and pulled up next to the curb about three houses down. Davina turned the car off pulling the keys out before getting out of the car walking to the back of the car where Kol was getting a few thing out of the trunk which were the bats that he had taken from the batting place. He kept the metal bat while handing her the broken bat to her.
"Why do I need this?" She asked looking to it.
"Because chances are, that there is more than one vampire inside that house as they often tend to live in groups," Kol explained closing the trunk door after he was finished. "There is no way I am letting you go in to that house without some sort of weapon, because I have a feeling that I won't be able to convince you to stay out here."
"Not after this afternoon," Davina confirmed shaking her head.
"Didn't think so," Kol grinned as they made their way to the house. "If I tell you to get out if things turn for the worst, please listen to me." He turned to her on the path leading up to the porch.
"I won't leave you," Davina said firmly. "You know sometime I don't think you know what I am capable of."
"Davina-"
"Do you know I can make someone's blood boil?" Davina asked cutting him off. "All I have to do is focus." She relaxed her eyes at him.
Kol could feel his body begin to heat up as if was standing next to a fire but then it began to hurt as he got hotter and hotter. Soon, he could feel little beads of sweat form on his forehead and he could feel his insides melting turning to liquid. Kol closed his eyes as the pain was beginning to get unbearable and he could barely breath.
Davina blinked breaking the spell as Kol looked at her and she smirked. "See?" She said crossing her arms.
"Impressive," Kol chuckled as he wiped at his forehead which was completely drenched. "I know you are powerful, Love, I just don't want anything to happen to you is all."
"Fine, I will do as you say," Davina sighed. They continued down the path until they were at the front door.
Kol tested the door knob to see if it was locked, it wasn't, so he pushed the door opened to see what looked like an over stuffed storage locker. "That is a lot of crap," Kol commented as he tested the threshold finding no resistance by stepping into the house.
"I thought my grandfather was bad," Davina said closing the door. It was dark inside the house, but that didn't mean you could see the piles of stuff in the house.
"Come on," Kol said taking her hand in his to help her through the rubbish to make sure she also didn't get lost among it as he could see in the dark. "I should have brought a flash light..." He said as he walked into a pile of news papers causing them fall over with a clash.
"Who are you?!"
Davina yelped as the shrill voice rang through the room making Kol stop mid step. He turned to see a lady standing in front of an opened double door.
"Is that you Mary?" Kol asked calmly.
"Who wants to know?" they asked.
"I am hurt Mary," Kol said pulling Davina closer to him. "That you don't recognize me."
"Should I?" Mary questioned.
"You spent a lot of time with my family," Kol said as he stepped closer and Mary's eyes widen.
"Kol Mikaelson?" She gasped as she took a step back. "What do you want?"
"To talk," Kol answered with a dangerous note to his tone that cause shiver to crawl down Davina's spine. Mary looked at him suspiciously for a moment.
"You couldn't have picked a better time?" She asked as her eyes landed on Davina. "Who is this?"
"A friend," Kol said glancing to Davina who was eyeing Mary with wary eyes. "We need your help."
"I'm not interested," Mary snapped coldly as her face turned into a glare.
"Now Mary," Kol said with a charming smile. "How about we sit down and talk and I will explain everything?"
"You brought me a snack didn't you?" Mary asked as she looked over Davina with a hungry gleam in her eyes. "You know I have always liked brunettes the best."
"I forgot about that," Kol said shaking his head shamefully. "How rude of me? Think of this as a peace offering." Kol tightened his hold around her hand hoping that he would see through the game.
"Mmm," Mary said licking her lips as she turned to Kol. "Bring out guest in here." Mary turned around walking back into the room leaving the door open.
Kol took this moment to turn to Davina who eyes were wide as she turned her eyes to his. He wrapped his arms around her pulling her close to her body. "Nothing is going to happen." He whispered into her ear and pulled back to cup her cheek. "Nothing." He repeated seriously.
"I'm not scared," Davina replied Kol nodded as he turned around following Mary into the room where she was sitting on the bed with a hungry look on her face. Davina thought she look demented as she got up from her spot on the bed.
"Alright, Mary," Kol said turning to the vampire. "There is price that comes with this meal."
Mary looked up to Kol. "Which is?" She asked as she stepped closer to Davina.
"There people snooping around trying to find out their bloodlines," Kol explained. "I will let you have this beauty if I promised to act clueless."
"Hmmm," Mary said as she thought through the terms as she grabbed Davina trapping her against her body. "I don't buy it."
"Don't be too hasty, Mary," Kol snapped taking a step closer.
"Why not?" Mary hissed as she ran her hand down Davina's flawless cheek. Kol looked to Davina as she was showing no signs of fear or if she was nervous except the beating of her heart. Her eyes were on his face awaiting for a sign of what to do next "I am adding a few terms of my own. If I do this for you, then I want to be free of your family."
"If you let me have the first bite of our dinner," Kol began. "I will make sure that my family will never find you. You won't have to worry about them anymore. I promise." He smiled kindly to the vampire who studied him for a moment.
"You have yourself a deal," Mary nodded a relieved smile spreading on her face.
"Marvelous," Kol said nodding as his eyes landed on Davina and held out his hand. "Come here, Darling." Mary smiled hungrily as she pulled back from Davina who seemed to be frozen in her spot with eyes wide with fear. Kol couldn't tell if she was faking or not because even he was impressed. Kol smiled at Mary as he moved closer to Davina looking down to her hand.
"You are not going to use that on me are you?" Kol asked nodding to the hand clutching the bat.
"No," Davina answered in small voice that stirred him the wrong way.
"Good," Kol said smirking as he reached for the bat. "Mind if I see it?" He asked softly licking his lips glancing up to Mary to make sure she was following every word.
"No," Davina spat back making Kol narrow his eyes at me. "Please let me go," She begged and Kol knew then that she had caught on to his plan.
"She's got spunk," Mary muttered.
"You have no idea," Kol smirked. "If you won't give me the bat, Darling, then I am afraid that I have no other choice. Mary come forward."
Davina's eyes grew even wider as she could hear the shuffling of Mary's feet and could feel her presence behind her once more and Kol's eyes foze on Davina's as he could hear three new voices outside the house. They were arguing about something and Kol realized just who they were. Swearing to him self, he lowered head towards Davina and opened his lips. "Duck," He said to Davina who looked confused for a second then squatted down.
Davina's sudden movement started Mary, giving Kol time to swing his bat at her head knocking her to the ground. "Get behind me," Kol ordered Davina as Mary flashed up to her feet ready for a fight, but Kol was faster as he snatched the broken wooded bat from Davina's hand. He could hear the front door opening and he knew that he did not have much time to waist. He grabbed Mary by the shoulders forcing her back, and then took the bat plunging it through her chest cavity into her heart, but not before using his vampire speed to pin her to the wall causing a few things to come crashing down next to them as Mary turned gray and her veins came visible to the eye. Kol could hear footsteps stop and then turn toward the room that they were in.
"We have visitors," Davina whispered to Kol as she turned her head towards the door.
"I know," Kol nodded as he looked around noticing the door next to Mary and opened to reveal a rather large bathroom. "Hide in here."
"What?" Davina looked at him as if he was crazy, but Kol shook his head as he grabbed Davina's arm pushing her into the bathroom.
"Just until I get rid of them," He mouthed to her as he could hear them drawing closer to the room. "Shh." Kol closed the door, picked up the metal bat that he had dropped, turning off the light then taking a seat in the chair besides the bed as the bedroom door opened. Damon came into the room first followed by Elena, who was using her phone as a source of light as Damon turned around and the light landing on Mary's body causing Elena to gasp at the grim sight.
"Mary..." Damon sighed
"Quite Contrary," Kol piped causing them both jump and turn around with Kol leering at them ready to do damage.
Davina put her ear up against the door so she could hear everything that was being said or whether she needed to interfere at any point in time.
"Shame about Mary," Kol boasted as he got out of his chair. "She used to be a blast to hang out with. I don't quite know what happened. I fear all that time with my family must have ruined her. She was a bit of an Original groupie." He finished.
"And were you her favorite?" Elena asked.
"You mean, did I turn her?" Kol asked and Davina could hear the smile on his face as he answered. "I think I did." Davina shook her head rolling her eyes at the response. "Wait...No...It might have been Rebekah and there was also a Klaus period and lets not forget about the Elijah affair. I spoke to my brother. I know that you are trying to find out who you are descended from and now you never will."
"So," Kol started as he putted the bat against the floor. "Where did we leave off?" Davina shook her head as she heard this knowing what he was about to do. Soon she could hear the grunts from Damon as well as the strikes of the bat, however, that was interrupted when she heard the of her ringtone of her phone fill the air causing her to freeze.
Uh oh! What is going to happen to Davina? Will she get caught? Will she get out? Damn cellphones! If you want to know what happens next, make sure to follow or favorite this story because the next chapter will be along within the next couple of days!
