Hello! Hello! It is me again the bringer of this wonderful story. So, lately, I have been catching up on Legacies. At first, I didn't want to watch it because I was not happy about the ending of Klaus and Elijah. I was afraid to get attached to new characters, OMG I love Hope, and then they don't get the ending that they deserved. But I caved. And now I am currently awaiting the new episode of Riverdale and the Legacies. Also, I have caught up on the good doctor. And I am passing all of my classes! YAY me!
So enough about me and let's get you to the part that you actually want to read. With that, on to the story which is a few spaces below here.
Chapter Twenty-Nine
"We need to talk."
Jeremy looked over his shoulder before looking back to Davina. He began to speak in a lower voice. "And I need to talk to you. It's about Kol." He began with a sad note in his voice. "I don't know how to say this. But Kol is-"
"A vampire?" Davina asked quickly cutting Jeremy off. "Yeah, I know that." She said looking sideways to Klaus to was standing quickly.
Jeremy's eye widens at her answer. Apparently, he was not expecting that one. But as quickly as the shock flashed on his face. It was gone. "I was going to say dead." He said slowly, and then her answer from before seemed to click in his head. "You knew Kol was a vampire?" He asked her, and betrayal was beginning to shine brightly in his brown eyes. "Why didn't you tell me or warn me?"
"Oh don't look at me like that, Jeremy," Davina scoffed coldly to him. "I knew Kol was a vampire the moment I met him. Kol is the reason why I am here and that of the arrow that you shot him with. " She told him, and the sound of someone clearing their throat had Davina pulling her eyes away from the hunter to the brand new audience that now filled the room, which was great because she didn't feel like repeating herself numerous times. Stefan walked up to her.
Davina sighed as he stopped in front of her. "You know if you keep frowning like that, you are going to grow wrinkles," She told him. Stefan said nothing to her remark as he turned around to face the group waiting for him to speak but soon felt a small pat on the back.
"I thought it was a good one, Love," Klaus whispered to her. Davina snickered as Stefan cleared his throat like he was someone important that they needed to listen to. But boy did that vampire had another thing coming.
"Stefan, Jeremy, what is going on?" Davina turned to a girl who had very long brown hair and a voice that she had heard before. Her eyes were set in a glare that pointed at the man next to her. She can only imagine who this is. The person she has been itching to slap ever since they got the call.
"I am about to explain, Elena," Stefan replied to the girl. 'Yep, I was right,' she thought to herself and curled her fists tightly so she wouldn't go and hex the hell out of the girl. There would be time for that later, but right now Kol was her priority and decided to take action.
"My name is Davina," She said loudly bringing everyone's eyes to her. "I am here to talk to Jeremy about the poison he used on Kol last night. I am hoping that if I do something for all of you that you will return the favor."
Stefan turned to her with disapproval present on his face. "I said to let me talk to them first," He reminded her.
"We don't have a lot of time," Davina snapped at him. "And you are taking way too long. Something tells me that you are stalling for a reason. A reason I don't care about," She said turning back to the group and then to Jeremy. "The poison. Tell me about it." She demanded to him.
"What poison?"
Davina rolled her eyes at him. "Don't play dumb with me. The arrow you shot Kol with last night, It was laced with poison. I need to know about it. Is there a cure for it?"
Jeremy sighed looking toward the three girls. "I didn't shoot Kol with an arrow last night," He said shaking his head. Davina narrowed his eyes at him.
"Yes, you did," Davina said quickly. God, she hated liars. "I watched it happen. It went into his leg, and Kol has the mark to prove it. So, do you want to figure out what lie you want to tell next?" She pressed.
"Jeremy," Elena started slowly to her younger brother. "How do you know this girl?" She asked him as she walked up to him. Davina took a step back towards Klaus and Elena looked at them her eyes filled with fire. "You need to leave," She told Klaus.
"I would be cautious of what you say to me," Klaus said in a solemn tone. "I will leave when we have the necessary information on how to cure my brother. The very brother whom you tried to kill last night." He reminded darkly. "I have not forgotten."
"You need to leave," Elena said pointing towards the door behind them. "Now!" She cried her mouth etched in a deep frown.
Davina glanced at Klaus. His eyes were holding a deadly fire at the baby vampire. She turned to the group. "If he has to go, then so do I." She told them. "Klaus and I come as a matching set. So if you want me to take care of your little problem, that he stays. Understood?" She asked the group and turned to Elena. "You should back off. I mean you did try to kill his brother after all. And for no reason at all."
Elena blinked a few times at the girl. "No reason at all?" She asked after a moment of silence with a dropped jaw. "He tried to kill my brother, and he went after Bonnie too." She added pointing to the girl beside her. Davina watched as Bonnie turned to with shock in her eyes and Davina decided to play along for a second.
"Is that so?" Davina asked cocking her head the side. "When did this take place?" She questioned.
"It was yesterday morning. When Bonnie was at the school," Elena replied. Davina took in a deep breath trying to decide on how to handle this.
"I see." Davina nodded.
"I didn't know about this," Klaus said to Davina. "Why didn't you say anything about it to me, Davina?" He questioned her.
"Because she is lying," Davina replied. "Kol never left until we got the call for you," She pointed to Elena. "That you wanted to see Kol in person to talk a truce about Silas." She said repeating everything that came out of the girl's mouth. "But the plan was never to talk about the cure or Silas. You just wanted to get Kol to the house so you can kill him."
"Are you sure Kol never left the house?" Klaus asked her. "Kol can be unpredictable at times and can be downright deadly." He told her.
Davina thought back to the night where he saved her from the witches before they left for Denver. "I know he can be," She said and shook her head. "But Kol never left the house. He was in bed until late in the afternoon."
Elena sighed impatiently. "The only reason I wanted Kol killed is that he was after my brother," She said looking down.
"No," Davina said to Elena. "The only reason that you wanted to kill Kol was to free your sexbot." She said coldly as Klaus fell into a deep chuckle.
Elena looked shocked at Davina and struggled to find the words to say. "Only because Kol compelled Damon to kill my brother." She said crossing her arms. "I will not have my brother harmed in any way."
Davina cleared her throat as she didn't want to give too much away. "I believe I can help with that," She said turning to Jeremy. "You know that Kol was going to take the truce before you shot him in the leg with that arrow?" She asked him.
"So wait," Caroline began. "Kol is not actually dead? I thought you said that you staked him, Jeremy," She said to the hunter.
"I did stake him," Jeremy replied. "So that is why my mark didn't grow." He said pulling his sleeve to reveal his still very bare arm. "Nothing. So I guess he still hasn't died yet?"
Davina felt anger enter her beings but kept her cool. "And he is not going to be," She told him, and Bonnie took this moment to take a step towards Klaus.
"Witch," He greeted her cooly. "Going to try to lock me in a room again?" He asked her. Bonnie glared at him.
"How did you manage to escape?" She asked him. "That spell was locked to with the cycle of the of the moon. You said there was another witch involved, but yet I didn't sense any magic." She said cockily.
"That is because I know how to hide my magic," Davina answered. "Also, any spell can be broken. It is all about having enough power to do so. The reason the stake didn't work because I disabled it." She explained.
Bonnie looked at her with widened eyes. "How? That is impossible." She said.
"Nothing is impossible with magic. I disabled it long enough until it was pulled from Kol's body," Davina told the fellow witch. "I was also able to break through that little barrier spell of yours. That is how Klaus got out of the house. Anyway, the only reason Klaus was there was because of me. I called him to help me get Kol out of the house. So if any of you want to be pissed about it, be pissed with me. Like I said earlier Jeremy that Kol was going to accept the truce and we were going to leave. But you shot him with a poison that makes vampires go rapid so that I why he went after you."
"I am not sure," Jeremy replied. "It was just something I got from Connor. He said it would kill a vampire slowly. We didn't want to take any chances, so I used it on Kol."
"Is there a cure for it?" Davina asked. "Because Kol is not healing and it very sick. If he doesn't get this cure, he will die. "
"Good," Jeremy said. "It is was he deserves for all the people he has killed." He said coldly, and Davina blinked.
"Don't you remember what it was like in Denver?" Davina asked. "When the three of us would hang out? We were all friends."
"He was not my friend," Jeremy said. "Why do you want this cure for Kol so badly? What is he to you?"
Davina frowned at him. "I think you already know that answer," She told him softly. "I don't want to lose him."
"Davina," Bonnie started. "Kol is a monster. He has killed many people in over the years. He does not care about you. The Mikaelsons are only using you for your power." She said to her and Davina shook her head. "They are not nice people and will kill you when they are done using you."
"Thank you for the concern," Davina said to Bonnie. "But you don't have enough information about the situation to say that. You don't know the Kol that I do. I am not concerned about the Mikaelsons. They are Kol's family, so that makes them my family."
"Even Klaus? He has been torturing us for the past year and killed a lot of people that we care about," Bonnie explained to her.
"Even Klaus," Davina confirmed and turned to Stefan. "Where is your brother?" She asked him. "We are wasting enough time with all these questions."
"Why do you want to know where Damon is?" Elena asked her walking over to the younger Salvatore brother. "What do you want with him?"
Davina looked to Klaus for a second. "I want to kill him," She said simply, and Elena's eyes widened at this. "I'm kidding! I'm kidding! I want to wipe his mind free of Kol's complusion and in return, I hope that Jeremy will tell me about the cure."
"He is downstairs in the cellar," Stefan told her turning around to show her the way to his brother when Elena stepped in front him preventing him from going any further.
"You are seriously going to let her do this to him?" She asked him with wide brown eyes. "This is your brother we are talking about."
Stefan glared at her. "I know he is my brother. That is why I am doing this." He told her seriously. "Because I don't know how many more options we have at this point."
"Then I am coming down there with you," Elena said and Davina shook her head.
"No," She said to the girl firmly. "I can't have any distractions, and I certainly can't have the sire bond getting in the way of things." Davina looked to Klaus. "Do you want to come with?" She asked him. Klaus nodded, and Elena glared at the witch.
"Why does he get to go?" Elena pointed to the older vampire. "But not?" She asked her. "I thought you said that you didn't need any distractions."
"I don't have to explain myself to you," Davina hissed at her. "Now if you want your boyfriend free, step aside."
"Do it for Damon," Stefan said quietly to Elena. Elena sighed and moved out of the way, and Stefan made his way down the hall with Davina and Klaus following close behind. Klaus glanced to the witch at his side when Stefan opened another door and walked through it. Klaus stopped Davina before she could enter as well.
"Why did you tell them your full plan?" Klaus asked her. "What is going to happen if your plan fails? What are you going to use for leverage next?" Klaus wanted to know.
Davina shrugged. "Don't worry. I have a backup plan if this doesn't go the way I know it will," She smiled.
"That plan would be?"
Davina pulled her phone out quickly pulling up a blank message and typed a few letters. She turned the screen around for him to read it. "Elena." He read to himself.
"When you make plans you should always have a backup plan just in case," She said going through the doorway, and they walked a few feet through the long hall where Stefan was standing in front of door talking to the person behind it.
"There you are," Stefan said when he noticed the two of them. "I thought you had gotten lost." He pointed to the face through the bar. "This is my brother Damon."
"Hi there," Davina said waving at him. "Nice to meet you."
"Likewise," Damon nodded.:"My baby brother here tells me that you have a way to help my current situation?"
"I do." Davina declared. "I will have to go inside." She said to Stefan and Damon noticed Klaus standing behind her.
"What the hell is he doing here?" Damon grumbled darkly at Klaus. "Come back for some more of Caroline talk."
"Not at all," Klaus said casually stepping up to the door. "But do mind this. If you lay a hand on this girl once she enters the room or by any means attempt to harm her in any way you will be waking up in another life," He said to the blue-eyed vampire through the barred opening.
"Oooh. Scary." Damon whispered tauntingly at Klaus.
Klaus glowered at him. "I mean it. If one hair on her head is so touched, you will pay dearly with your life. Understood?"
"Crystal clear," Damon muttered. "Why would I try to hurt someone who is trying to help me?"
"You never know with your habits," Klaus said leaning back against the wall.
Stefan rolled his eyes. "Are you ready to do this?" He asked her placing his hand on the lock above the handle.
"I was ready five minutes ago," Davina said mentioning for him to open the door. Stefan worked on the lock, and soon the door was opened. Stefan got out of her way, and she walked inside the room. Davina looked around the room and shook her head. "How did you not go mad?" Davina asked the raven-haired vampire.
"I was a mad man before I entered this room," Damon responded quirking his lips slightly. "Problem solved." He added sitting back on the small cot. "So, my baby brother says you have a way to clean up vampire compulsion. Want to tell me how?" He asked her.
"I can use my magic to wipe it from your mind," Davina replied sitting down in the chair across from him. "Has anyone tried to compel you after Kol did his?" She asked him.
"I am not sure," Damon answered honestly and studied her a little closer. "Have we met somewhere before?" He asked her.
Davina shrugged. "I was with Kol in Denver when you and Elena went to visit Jeremy. Maybe I was not as careful as I thought as I was."
Damon shook his head. "I know you from somewhere, but it is not from Denver. You look familiar to someone I used to know. I know! You look exactly like Zach's, my late nephew, girlfriend. I mean you can be a splitting image of her. What's your mother's name?"
"My mom's name was Lori." She replied.
"Was?" Damon questioned. "What do you mean by was?"
"What do you think it means?" Davina asked him. "Was means in the past." She sighed looking down not comfortable with this subject at all. "My mom is dead."
"Huh," Damon hummed lifting his hand to his chin. "That is weird though. Lori was her name too. Are you from Mystic Falls?"
Davina shook her head. "I am from Louisiana, " Davina answered and was seriously done with these questions. The subject of her mom was making her think about her mom's death. And that would bring back memories of the Harvest ritual which she is trying to hard to forget. "I never knew this town existed until a few weeks ago. So are you ready to get this over with and be free?"
"Give me what you got."
"Take a deep breath," Davina instructed raising her hand at the vampire. She told him to count to three, and when the word three was spoken, Davina let the heat of her magic flow through her veins and out the tips of her fingers. Damon's face scrunched up as he grabbed a hold to each side of his face.
"Urgggggh," Damon cried out. She closed her eyes, and more power flowed through her into the magic she was already descending on to Damon. Damon tried to stand up but fell to the ground.
"Stop stop stop," Damon begged through the pain and Davina dropped her hand. "You didn't say this would hurt." He breathed heavily sagging against the floor.
"Stop being a baby," Davina snapped at him. "The faster I can work the sooner you will be free. It is the only way." She told him.
"Or we can kill Kol instead or have Kol come here an undo the shit he has done." He grumbled to the ceiling." Davina ignored him by raising her hand and letting the magic flow once again.
"No no no," Damon groaned holding on to his head. "Stefan!" He yelled out as his screams grew louder.
Over the next hour, Davina lowered her arm to give the poor vampire a break. Damon was on the floor laying completely still as he gazed tiredly up at the ceiling. "Are you done yet?" He breathed her way.
Davina quirked a small smile at him. "Do you still feel the need to kill Jeremy?" She asked him, and when he didn't answer, she shook her head. "Then nope. We aren't done."
"Oh come on," Damon begged. "Why did Kol do this to me anyway?" He asked out loud stomping his foot on the floor. Damon drapped an arm over his sweaty face.
"To protect me," Davina answered standing up, and she could see Klaus looking through the bars. He would do this every ten minutes or so to make sure she was okay or if everything was done. With a shake of her head, his face disappear.
"Protect you?" Damon wanted to know. He turned his tired eyes to her. "Protect you from what?"
"No time for an answer," Davina said jumping back into her power, and Damon's cries of pain filled the room once again. She pushed and pushed until she felt her power drop like it had pushed through a touch barrier. She looked to see Damon laying very still and walked over to him crouching down beside him. Davina turned his face to her, and she noticed a small trail of blood dripping from his nose.
"Damon?" Davina called to him making sure that she didn't kill him. That would not win her any brownie points with the group upstairs if she did so and she watched his pale lips part open followed by his eyes. "Are you okay?" She asked him.
"You mean after you killed me?" Damon snarked at her. "I think I am fine." He sighed and sat up wiping at his nose. He stared at the wall blinking with a blank expression. "But I feel different. Like I am free or no longer tethered." He explained and Davina stood up pleased with her work. Does that mean it worked?"
"It does," Davina nodded. "Want to go try it out? It is the only way to know for sure." Davina walked over to the door pulling it open to find Klaus and Stefan hurrying to their feet. "Hello there," She greeted him. "It is time to test it out," She told them and turned around to Damon.
"So it worked?" Stefan asked, hopefulness lacing his voice looking back to his older brother. "How do you feel?" He asked him as Davina stepped aside to let him out.
"Like she ran me over with a truck," Damon said patting his stomach stretching his arms. "But being out of that tiny little hell hole makes it just a little bit better." He grumbled. "And I want some blood," He demanded looking forward the end of the hall.
"Later," Davina said. "Right now, we need to go upstairs." She said pointing to the upper floor. Damon shook his head.
"What is it about witches and being so bossy?" Damon asked her following her not wanting to be down there any longer.
"When we are always saving vampires asses," Davina started stepping out into the main hallway. "We earn the right." Davina could hear the fast patter of footprint hurry from the room just ahead of them. One by one they appeared in the hall with Elena in the lead.
"Did it work?" Elena asked reaching Damon first cupping his face in her hands. She looked him over. "You look like hell," She muttered. "How do you feel?"
"Maybe if you would get out of the way we would know," Davina suggested to the girl. "You know with Jeremy?" She motioned to the hunter who was standing slightly back. Elena sighed knowing she was right and moved so Jeremy would come into Damon's eyesight.
"How do you feel?" Davina asked him. "Is the need to kill still present in your mind?" She joked earning a glare from Elena which she gladfully ignored.
Damon walked up to Jeremy who took a few steps back placing a hand on his shoulder. "The next time I still you to shoot me. Go for the heart next time, you little punk." He told him and turned to Davina. "Nope. It is completely gone."
"Are you sure?' Elena asked him walking up to him. "We can be having any repeats." She told him. Damon glared at her slightly.
"So what? I am locked up for the past 24 hours or so, and suddenly I am a liar?" Damon tossed at her pulling his arm from her hands. "If you'll excuse me. I have a date with a blood bag." He said pointing his thumb over his shoulder towards the kitchen. Elena watched him go through another set of doors with a look of despair on his face. Davina turned to Jeremy.
"Will you help me now?" Davina asked him. "About the cure for Kol?" She added.
"I don't know," Jeremy sighed. "Kol has done a lot of bad things to a lot of people." Davina was not impressed by this answer.
"Name one vampire who hasn't," Davina said snarkily. "I mean its what vampires do. Are you telling me that Elena hasn't killed? Or Caroline? Or even Stefan?" She waved her hands at them. "What about Damon whom I help set free. Are they all innocent?" When Jeremy sid nothing Davina nodded. "I didn't think so." She then walked up to him. "Please Jeremy, I am asking you as your friend. Tell me the cure."
"No," Elena said shaking her head marching overt to Jeremy. "Do not give it to her Jer. What if she is lying? What if she wants it so Kol can come seeking revenge on his own? Kol is the key to finding the cure. You said the poison take 24 hours to take full effect. All we have to do is wait."
"And during those 24 hours, Kol is waking up screaming in pain as his temperature is rapidly rising," Davina snapped her. "I know nothing about this poison, Jeremy."
Jeremy stared at her. He took a deep breath glancing at his sister then turned his eyes back to her. " How about you tell me what Kol meant the other day about you being in danger if we complete my mark." The room fell quiet as all eyes turned to Davina.
Davina tensed up at the question not expecting that subject to come up. In fact, it was the furthest thing in her mind at the moment. "I don't know what mean," Davina said hoping to turn him away from it, but of course Jeremy was not on the lead astray.
"Yes you do," Jeremy said, his eyes narrowed. "Tell me." He pressed.
Davina sighed. "That professor said something to him the other night is all. He just wanted to make sure that a lead would never point to me. He didn't go into detail about it."
"So Kol only came after me to protect you," Jeremy summarised, and Davina nodded.
"Yeah."
Jeremy reached back to his back pocket and pulled out a piece of paper. "Here," He said holding his hand out for her. "This was with the vial of poison. It's the instructions on how to make it and how to make the cure. The poison was already made when I got it, so I never had to make on my own. And it is in a different language for the most part."
Davina unfolded the paper and smiled when her eyes met the words of cajun french. She scanned over the ingredients quickly. "It says that I need blood from the hunter and blood of a Claire witch as well as pure rosewater," She said looking around. Bonnie frowned at this.
"Good luck finding one. The Claire witch bloodline is said to be extinct," She said with an apologetic smile. "What did you say your last name was?"
"Jones," She said quickly and noticed Jeremy slicing open his hand into a vial. "What are you doing?" She asked him.
"It says that you need my blood," Jeremy said, and Elena looked at him and stomped out of the room with Caroline on her heels. "I am doing this for you as your friend. I can see that Kol means a lot to you."
Davina glanced to Klaus. "He means a lot to all us," She said softly as he handed her the bottle of his blood. Her stomach rolled at the warmness against her hand. "Thank you."
"You are welcome, but I do expect that you check in time to time," Jeremy said.
"I will," Davina smiled and turned to Klaus. "Ready to go?" She asked him.
"I was ready the moment we got here," Klaus said backing up to walk out the door. "I had enough of the Mystic Falls group for one day. Their constant whining tends to grate on my nerves." He said as they got into the car and his hand paused on the keys as he slid them into the ignition. "Where are we going to get a Claire witch if they are extinct?"
"They are not extinct yet, " Davina said looking up from the piece of paper in her hands. She had placed the valued blood in her pocket for safe keeping. "The Claire witches are from the French Quarter."
Klaus turned to her as he drove down the long Salvatore driveway. "You are from New Orleans. Do you know of them?"
"I do," Davina nodded. "I will tell you a little secret. My grandmother wrote this." She said pointing her fingers to a spot on the page. "She was the only person I know who made her G's like this."
Klaus turned the corner. "I thought you said that your name was Jones," He said keeping his eyes on the road.
"I did that because the only reason Jeremy gave me this is that he didn't think that I would be able to get the other blood," Davina explained. " So I gave them a false name so that he wouldn't know that he was speaking to the last remaining Claire Witch." She added proudly.
Klaus looked at her. "I am impressed. Remind me to never play poker with you," He told her. "Because you have one hell of a poker face."
"I know. So now we need roses. The fresher, the better."
"I can't believe that we had to go to three different stores!"
Davina lugged the bag of flowers up the steps of the Mikaelson Mansion and into the house. Klaus closed the door after he entered the dwelling.
"That is what happens when you are stuck in a small town like Mystic Falls," Klaus told her following her into the kitchen where she set the bags down. "And it doesn't help that you chose the buy roses the day before Valentine's day."
Davina narrowed her eyes. "I didn't choose too. We needed them. Wait… that's tomorrow?" She asked him looking around the kitchen. "Do you have pots?"
Klaus rolled his eyes at the question and walked around pointing to the cabinet behind her. Davina walked over to the cabinet to fish out a giant pot. "Do you know how to make rose water?" He asked her as she set it down on the stove.
"It is not that hard," Davina said looking at the flowers feeling a sense of dread of plucking each petal off by hand. She looked at Klaus for a second who was watching her and waved her hand quickly using her magic to wipe the stems clean. She picked handfuls of petals dropping them into the pot. When she had enough, she filled the pot with water with a bowl in the middle and stuck the glass lid upside down on the pan.
"What is that for?" Klaus asked looking at the pot. He had poured himself a bourbon.
"It is so that the steam collects on the lip and drips into the bowl," Davina explained. "What falls into the bowl will be the rosewater we need." She eyed the rest of the rose petals. "Maybe you can send them to Caroline," She said nudging her head towards the useless petals.
"Caroline?" Klaus asked her. "Why would I send her those?" He said sipping on his glass.
"Oh please, the way you two were exchanging looks today," Davina said with a laugh. "Was enough to make the house steam. And the Winter Festival thingy. She looked at me like I was her next meal."
"I don't know what you are talking about," Klaus denied, and the sound of heels on the tile filled the kitchen as Rebekah entered the room.
"Finally," She sighed looking between the two. "Did you get what he needs?" She asked him plucking the bourbon glass from Klaus' hands and took a swig.
"Hey," Klaus protested.
"Hey yourself," Rebekah said to him plopping down into the stool beside him. "I need this." She sighed moving the glass out of his reach. "Our brother has a set of strong lungs, and I had to break his neck once again. And look who's back," She said pointing to the door. Klaus and Davina followed her finger to see Elijah standing in the doorway.
"So you decided to come back and join us, did you?" Klaus greeted his brother who slowly walked into the kitchen with his head down.
"Niklaus," Elijah greeted walking closer to the counter where his siblings sat enjoying the moment of peace. "What happened?" He asked his younger brother. "Rebekah has told me bits and pieces of it, but she was busy tending to Kol." He explained rolling up his sleeves sitting down with a serious look on his face.
"You would know if you had been around, Brother," Klaus answered snidely. "Care to tell us where you were?"
"That is a discussion for another time," Elijah said to Klaus. "What are doing about Kol's current position?" He looked from Klaus to Rebekah to Davina. "Davina," He called to the girl as she walked away from the stove where she had placed some ice on to the lid to make more water that would drop into the blow. "Why didn't you call me when something went wrong?"
"Kol says that he has been trying to call you and that you were not picking up your phone," Davina explained. "So I didn't want to waste time getting the help I needed, so I went to the next brother."
Elijah pulled out his phone from his pocket. "But I haven't received any calls," He said pulling the recent call lists. "The last call I received was from you saying that something to Kol," Elijah said to Nik as he dragged his finger along the screen of his phone. "However this does not answer my question of what happened. Does someone want to explain it to me? Rebekah said something about Elena and her group. Do I need to go ask them myself?"
Rebekah sent sideward glance to Elijah. "So that Elena could lie to you and say the Kol provoked the attack? When he was only trying to keep that one," She pointed to Davina. "Safe."
"Ah yes," Elijah nodded. "I remember our conversation the night before I left on my cure lead. The professor said something threatening about Davina. Kol was beside himself."
"So everything she has told us was true? That Kol knows her?" Rebekah asked her, and when Davina glared at her, she held her hands up. "Sorry Love, but until last night we never knew anything about you. We have to be sure."
"Explain. Someone for the love of God."
Davina simmered down and explained the situation to Elijah while she worked about the kitchen. She told him about the call, the arrow, everything. She was now carefully pulling the hot ceramic bowl out of the pot to set on the counter and pulled out the page to read what else she had to next. Elijah had pulled Niklaus into another room to discuss his findings while Rebekah and Davina worked on finishing the potion. A loud scream erupted from the upper level causing Rebekah to look up the ceiling.
"How much longer does this have to take?" She asked Davina. She winced as she heard her both of her brothers' voices coming from the room as they took a turn with Kol. "They are with him now."
"Just a few minutes," Davina replied not looking up from the page. She set it down reaching in for the bottle of blood and looked around for a knife. She spotted one in the dish drain and hurried to retrieve it. She pulled the stopper out of the bottle pouring half the bottle into the clear liquid. She waited until the water turned dark red like the instructions said and took the blade of the knife to her palm. She winced at pitched and watched her blood fall into the mixture.
"This is the second time that you are choosing to bleed for my brother," Rebekah said in awe as she watches the witch work.
Davina smiled when she left that she had spilled enough blood. "Actually, this is the third," Davina said, and Rebekah had a curious look in her eye. "That is a story for another time. Go help Klaus and Elijah with Kol. Tell them that we need him awake for this part. She added and trailed off as her ears started ringing. So loudly that she had to clutch her ears and winced as her hearing cleared.
"Davina?"
"I'm fine. Go. " She said brushing her off and looked at the page once again. "I will be up soon. I need to say this, and I will be up," She told her. Rebekah didn't look at all convinced but left the kitchen to help her brothers. Davina took a deep breath summoning the magic deep inside of her saying the incantation three times. She opened her eyes to a brown looking liquid with steam gently rising from it.
She winced at the nasty appearance as she gathered it up in a small glass and hurried out of the kitchen. As she neared the room, she could hear the sound of struggling coming out it and entered to see Klaus, Rebekah, and Elijah all holding down an angry looking Kol who had his teeth bared.
"Get bloody off of me you wanker," Kol sneered at his siblings. Davina hurried out around to the clear side of the bed next to Elijah with the glass behind her back. His eyes widened at the sight of her. His face was almost a strawberry colors like the poison was burning him from the inside out. "Davina, tell them to leave me alone." He begged her. "I want out of this damn bed!"
"I will," Davina promised him. "But first I need to see inside your mouth." She told him.
"Why?"
"I need to make sure that there are no blisters inside your mouth," She explained, and this cued the siblings.
"Blisters?" The all asked her at the same time. Davina slowly turned her head to them.
"Yes," Davina replied. "Blisters." She confirmed and turned back to Kol. "Open up please?"
Kol stared at her for a moment before complying to her request. Davina waited until it was wide enough before quickly dumping the contents of her glass into his mouth. Kol was so surprised at the sudden turn of events that he had no choice but to swallow the liquid but made a bitter face as it went down. Kol settled down, and soon he was fast asleep against the pillows. Davina sighed when she could see the redness of Kol's face already lessening. Davina took a step back watching the three Mikaelsons one by one pull away from Kol.
"Now what?" Klaus asked her.
"We wait and let it do its job," Davina told him. "There is more downstairs. You guys can keep it in case if there is ever a need for it again."
"Why did you tell him you needed to look for Blisters?" Rebekah asked curiously, and Davina grinned at her.
"Because of Kol's witch knowledge. If I had told him what my plan was and saw what that crap looks like he might not want to take it or trust it," Davina explained. "So I lied so I could get an easy shot."
"And it worked beautifully," Rebekah praised her walking around to her. "And cold as hell." She turned to her older brothers wrapping an arm around Davina's shoulders. "Can we keep her?" She asked them. "I believe that she is going to fit right in with us."
"Will you look at that, Brother," Klaus sighed looking to Elijah. "Davina has gotten the stamp of approval from Rebekah," He said to his brother.
Elijah smirked at Klaus. "She got my stamp of approval when she told our brother Kol no and then saved protected me against five witches." He told them, and Klaus raised his eyebrow, and Rebekah looked horrified at the fact that her brother had been attacked.
"You never told us about that," Klaus told him, and Elijah shrugged. "Some other time then." He then looked to each one of them. "I will say this: after everything that has happened, there is no going back," He said looking towards Davina. "At least for me. Our family almost lost another family member, and it is because of you Davina. You did justice for my family tonight, and that is something that I can not ignore." With that, Klaus walked out of the room without another word.
"He's right Davina," Elijah nodded at her. "Have you eaten?" He asked her. "Perhaps we should get some food?"
Davina smiled gratefully at him. "Thanks for the offer, but I am not hungry," She told him. "Maybe later?"
Rebekah turned to Davina. "You should try to eat something, Love. Maybe that is why you paled on me earlier down in the kitchen. When's the last time you ate something?"
Davina thought for a moment and shook her head. "I don't remember," She replied. "But I am not hungry." She told them. "It's only because I have used a lot of magic. I never have an appetite afterwards. I think I am just gonna go clean up the kitchen downstairs while we wait for Kol to wake up."
"Darling, you look exhausted," Rebekah said. "You should do nothing but rest. We can get someone to clean the mess up for you."
"Rebekah," Elijah spoke up. "I have tried this speech on her for days. It won't work until everything in her mind is done."
Rebekah huffed at her brother. "We'll at least let me help you," She offered, and Elijah's eyebrows raised up.
"You mean you are going to get your hands dirty?"
"Can it, Elijah!"
