Hiiii! Thank you everyone for who all have read. Thank you Tessa for your wonderful review! I love your kindness! I apologize for the shortness of this chapter! But I thought I would end this set of chapters on a happier note...and not it is not the end of this fic. There is much much more to come!

Anyway enough of my talking and on to your next chapter!

Davina pulled her phone from her pocket as it continued to sing seeing that it was Marcel that was calling. She could hear movement in the room separated by the door. She looked around the bathroom noticing another door. She ran to it pushing the door open to see it connected to another bedroom. She needed to get out of there before she was discovered. She slid into the bedroom and could hear Damon scream out at Elena.

"Elena, there is someone else here," He said as Davina tipped toed to the bedroom door where she could see out. "Find them or get out of here."

Davina sank into the darkness of the room as Elena made her way to the door, but Kol flashed in front of her. His tone dangerous. "According to my brother, you are off limits," He said to her. "Please don't test me." Kol grabbed the girls head forcing her face into the room and Damon flashed grabbing Kol by the neck.

"Don't touch her," He warned, but Kol only rolled his eyes throwing Damon to the other side of the room. Davina looked out of the room noticing Kol looking into the hall. "Go," He mouthed before sinking back into the room.

"Uh oh! I hit a nerve," Kol chuckled. "Relax darling. I just want us to be even! You snapped my neck, you killed my brother, and then you humiliated me in front of my family."

Davina could hear Kol swinging the bat again as she made her way through the house to the kitchen and out the back door. Something told her not to go out the front. She found her self surrounded by a metal chain link fence and no sign of a gate. She ran over to the lowest point the line and tested out the sturdiness of the fence and it was pretty flimsy. Checking over her shoulder to make sure her surroundings were clear, Davina lifted her leg placing her foot in one of the holes and did the same with other leg but a bit higher than hoisted herself up. The fence shook from her weight causing the fence to hit the metal posts then she swung her left leg over the side placing her foot in the same hole from before then pulled her right over, but not before losing her balance causing her to fall into the fence and when she tried to save herself from falling only caused her to lose more of her balance making her fall from the fence to the ground.

Davina picked herself up the ground bending down to wipe herself off and wincing at the grass stains at her knees. She looked around to make sure that she didn't draw attention to herself from her little tumble and bumble.

"Hey you!"

Davina's eyes widen at the sound of Jeremy's voice. She looked to see him standing next to the car looking in her direction. She crouched and darted away from him into the wooded area.

"Hey come back here!"

Davina didn't dare turn back as she keep doing deeper into the woods until she came out onto another street. She stopped to catch her breath while she looked around. It was another neighborhood like the one she just was in and made sure that Jeremy hadn't follow her. She didn't pay attention to the direction in which she was running so she didn't know which way to go. Biting her lip, she turned right walking down the sidewalk as she made her way to wherever she was going. It also allowed her think of the day she had had...this morning in the snow was perfect whoever knew she would be in another state trying to make sure her loved ones were safe. Speaking of loved ones, Davina pulled her phone out seeing she had two missed calls one from Marcel and the other one from Kol. She sighed hitting Marcel's number before placing the phone to her ear. The phone rang three times before Marcel answered.

"Hey D," Marcel greeted warmly. Oh how she had missed him these past few weeks. "How are you?"

"I'm good," She answered. "Sorry I missed your call earlier. I was down stairs and my phone was charging." She lied.

"That's okay, sweetie," Marcel smiled. "I just wanted to check up on my girl. Is Kol treating you good?"

"He's been great," Davina replied as she turned the corner that turned into a large hill.

"Good good. Are you having fun?"

"It's been a blast," Davina smiled as she stopped once she reached the top of the hill due to her aching legs. "The snow has been awesome! The mountains are beautiful here and the food...well it doesn't beat home not spicy enough."

"I don't know how you are still alive after all that heat that you eat," Marcel laughed.

"How's Josh?" asked Davina.

"Josh is Josh," Marcel chuckled. "Funny and loyal as ever. He misses you."

"I miss him too. I miss all over you," Davina smiled.

"You can always come home," Marcel reminded her.

"I know," She sighed. "I'll be home soon I promise."

"You better be! It is way too boring without you," He told her.

"In the Crescent City?" Davina laughed. "I didn't think you know the meaning to boring. There is always something happening there good and bad."

"Thing have been pretty quiet," Marcel admitted.

"Don't jinx it Marcel," Davina warned as she started walking as she wanted to find the car because she was beginning to get cold. "Enjoy the peace while it lasts."

"Oh I am trust me," He sighed. "Well I just wanted to check up on you. I gotta go help Cami with the bar."

"When are you going to ask her out?" Davina laughed.

"Not you too," Marcel grumbled.

"Let me guess, Josh?" She wondered out loud. "We all know you have feelings for her."

"What if she says no?" Marcel asked nervously.

"Is the great Marcel nervous?" Davina teased. "I never thought I would see the day. Just ask her out. Life is too short, well for some us."

"You think?"

"There is only one way to find out," Davina coached. "Do it and if she says no. Then screw her."

"You are right," Marcel laughed. "I'll talk to you later. Okay?

"Let me know how it goes," Davina said.

"I will."

"Bye," Davina said pulling the phone from her eat as she ended the call returning her focus to her current situation at hand: lost in the middle of freaking nowhere. She continued down what seemed to be a very long road in hopes of finding her way back. She was sure that car was still there where she had parked since she still had the keys. She came to another street and still nothing stood out as all the houses were beginning to look like the same. Davina pulled out her phone to call him but was stopped when her phone flashed low battery with about 5% of her juice left.

"Well there went that option," Davina muttered as she placed her phone back into her jacket pocket and zipped it up as it was still late fall and well it was lot colder than she was used to back home.

"Davina!"

She stopped in her tracks at the sound of her name being called. She turned to see Kol making his way towards her. She hurried to him meeting him half way.

"What happened to you?" He asked as he caught sight of the hole in her jeans from the fall from the fence.

"I climbed over a fence and gravity won," She answered sheepishly.

"You had me worried," Kol said cupping her face.

"Sorry," She said softly. "I went out the back door only to find it fenced in, so I climbed over and fell. Jeremy saw me. Anyway, I high tailed into the woods and I ended up here." She explained.

"Did Jeremy know it was you?" Kol asked.

"I don't think so," Davina said shaking her head. "How did you find me? I couldn't tell which street was which because of it being so dark out here."

"I was making my way back to the car when I saw you walk by the street," Kol explained.

"You mean I passed it?" Davina sighed. "I thought I was going in a big giant circle."

"It is just there," Kol turned pointing in the direction he had came to the drive. "It is a bit hidden if you are not paying attention."

"You don't say," She muttered tiredly. She was ready to call it a day and sink into her nice warm bed at the cabin and maybe a hot bath before that.

"You ready to go?" Kol asked her noticing that she was looking a bit peckish. "Are you okay?"

"I' m fine and more than ready to go home," She sighed as she felt her body beginning to crash from its wild day about and not the mention the locator spell she had performed had required a bit of power. She was only too happy when Kol led her back to his mighty comfy SUV.

Kol winced at the bright lights of a car the passed him going east. The idiot had been driving with high beams on full blast. He had been driving about two hours since they left that city in Kansas. He was glad that he was through with it and now he could do what he wanted for now...until his siblings come calling for his aid to their side in which he was not interested. He honestly wouldn't mind keeping his distance from them if he could possibly restart his life, but who knows how long the peace would last for. Hearing a sigh from the passenger seat, he looked over to Davina shifting in her seat fast asleep. She had fallen asleep almost instantly as soon as she got in the car.

Turning his eyes back to the road, he notice that the gas light had come meaning that he needed fuel. So he drove a few miles before taking an exit ramp and turned into a gas station pulling up to a free pump.

"Kol?"

"Hmm?" He turned to see her gazing at him sleepily. "I just need fuel."

"Do you need me to take over?" She asked wiping at her eyes as she sat up in her seat.

"No," He shook his head. "We don't have much farther to go, so you just rest."

"I don't know why I am so sleepy," She yawned.

"Well planning murder does that to you," Kol joked causing her to roll her eyes.

"I'm gonna go get a coffee and maybe that will wake me up until we get home," Davina muttered as she got out of the car walking into the small store.

Davina walked out of the store with two steaming hot cups of coffee one for her and one for Kol. She couldn't imagine buying herself one when he was driving all night. She walked around the car to where Kol was putting the gas cap back on to hand him his cup.

"Thank you, Darling," He smiled as took the cup from her. Davina nodded as she took a sip from her cup when she noticed little specks of white floating in the air. Placing her cup on the roof of the car, she walked out from under the canopy into the night air. She smiled when she realized that these were snowflakes falling down. She shook her head as she would never get enough of seeing snow.

"Twice in one day," Kol said from his spot by the car. "Must be your lucky day."

"One of these days I am going to luck out," Davina said as she looked up to the sky where she could see more of the flakes falling on her face. They were beginning to come down a bit more heavily making the air frosty and white. "This is so pretty," She said holding her arms out.

"That's not the only thing that's pretty," said Kol as he walked out taking in the sight of her in the snow.

"Did you say something?" Davina asked turning her attention to him as he watched her in the falling snow. He didn't know how he had gotten so lucky and decided then and there that he would do anything in his power to stay with her even if it meant going against his family. The family that only seemed to want anything to do with him unless when it benefited them or to dagger him. In all of his years of living, he had never known such happiness as he had felt with Davina in their time so far in Denver and he wanted to see more of it.

"Nothing," he said and smiled at her as an idea struck up in his head. "Want to dance?"

"What?" She looked at him for second before laughing. The sound reaching his ear like beautiful bells ringing. "Are you serious? Dance? We are in the middle of nowhere."

"So," He shrugged looking around seeing no one in sight. "I think it is a perfect spot."

"There is no music," Davina smirked and Kol smirked back as he reached into his pocket pulling his phone.

"If there is one good thing that I love about the modern ages," Kol snickered as he swiped his thumb on the screen a few times until music filled the air with a jazzy tune. "Music. Anytime you like." He smiled as he looked up to Davina who looked positively speechless. "Now that have that settled," He said. "Perhaps I shall show you the proper way for a man to ask a lady for a dance."

Davina could not believe her eyes when Kol placed an arm behind his back and bowed in front of her. He extended a hand out to her. "May I have this dance?"

"Are you real?" She asked softly as she looked at his hand.

"I sure hope I am real," He joked. "Or you would look mad standing here talking to yourself."

Davina giggled gently as she placed her hand in his. "You may."

Kol's smile widened as he took her hand and twirled her around, sending her lovely brown waves flying about, only to catch her hip to wrap his arm around her small waist pulling her closer to shield her from the cold as he swayed them to the music.

"I have never danced in falling snow before," Davina said looking up as it was now a heavy flurry much different from moments ago.

"Well now you have, Davina Claire," He said softly as she hummed along with the song that waq playing on his phone. Davina sent him a smile that melted into his heart thawing away whatever ice had remained. Davina Claire also had managed to latch around his heart and he knew it was permanent for him because he couldn't imagine his world with out her. It was odd because Kol had never allowed himself to get close to anyone or to love anyone as he never felt worthy of it. Hell if he wasn't worthy of his own family for their love, who in this cruel world would ever love him. She was looking up at him with the most solid trust, warmth, and something else he could not name. He could feel himself getting lost in those eyes and he didn't mind it one bit. He thought back to earlier when she had asked him why he hadn't said anything to his siblings about her and truth behold...he was afraid of losing her or that they would take her way. Clearing his mind of those depressing thoughts, he twirled her again and she giggled again and then dipped her back in his arms before pulling her back. She closed her eyes as she leaned forward laying her head on his chest and he could hear let out a sigh...of contentment. He wondered if she could feel him shaking because he was certain that he was, because she had rocked him shocked once more.

"Where did you learn to dance?" She asked her soft voice in his ear.

"It was a custom back in the day," Kol answered. "I have seen the dance from the beginning to grow to what it is today."

"I used to take ballet when I was younger," She said. "I enjoyed it but I was forced to quit when I was 10 so I could commit to my craft."

"Ah! The ballet,"Kol sighed. "I haven't seen one of those dances in forever. I used to enjoy taking Rebekah to them. It also reminds me of ice skating. That is something I miss."

"You know how to ice skate?" Davina looked up surprised.

"I did," Kol corrected. "I am sure that it is much different now that the last time I had gone. This time of year had always been my favorite," Kol said looking around the flakes hitting his nose like cold little pellets.

"Mine too and the bonfire season will be soon," Davina said.

"That is true," Kol nodded as he tightened his hold on her afraid of letting her go afraid of never feeling that warmth again. The song that was playing was coming to an end, so Kol twirled her one last time ending the dance by kissing the top of her hand which caused her to blush prettily. "Thank you Milady."

"I should be thanking you," She chuckled shaking her head.

"You can make it up to me," Kol suggested. "But first let me get you out of her before you are frost bitten."

"Oh I will," She said as she walked around him heading to the car sending him a quick smile that he was sure was only meant for him and he hoped one day it will be only for him.

EEEE! I know this one is a little shorter than my past previous chapters and I will make up for it! I couldn't decided to keep going or to stop it...But I thought I would end it on a happier note.

I apologized for the fluff...(not really) I was listening to the BSB (yes the backstreet boys) song called Drowning while I was writing it...I love that song so much and it made my heart of full of mush!

Stayed tuned as there is much more to come in the next few chapters. I won't say what because I don't want to give too much away!

Until next time!

RJ!
