Chapter 6: 1:10 pm
Next day. 8:10am.
Kai and Davina have been pulled from morning prayer by Alaric. They are in Alaric's office in the main hall.
With his fingers on his forehead Alaric starts the lecture off, "You two are ruining the purpose of this camp!"
"Look, it wasn't her fault Alaric I forced her to come out" Kai yelled pacing the room.
"Not true…he's just trying to save me, punish me Alaric." Davina grabbed hold of Kai's arm.
"Guys, I've seen you too okay, you two are cute, but sneaking off at night doing whatever you two did or were about to do, it's prohibited here and in the eyes of the Lord."
"Oh, please don't start on the whole 'wait until marriage bullshit' what we do is none of you or the camp or God's business!" Kai snapped back in a sarcastic tone. Davina held his arm down worried they'd get into even more trouble.
Alaric ignored Kai's comment and continued, "It's only 2 days, you can both reflect while in prayer." Alaric was firm in his decision.
Davina and Kai were escorted away from each other. Their 2 days were normal, except during lunch, free time, and dinner they had to be on opposite ends of the camp, away from each other.
12pm Lunch.
Kai decided to go ahead and skip lunch because he wanted Davina to sit with the group, he wanted to calm his head and started walking towards the lake. Davina found herself looking for Stefan to yell at and blame, he was nowhere to be found either. Lunch went by really slow for her. Davina started her free time with a bathroom break. She saw Stefan there, already waiting for her. His back was laid on the concrete column.
1pm
"You're starting to become a creepy bathroom stalker." Davina sarcastically said.
Stefan kept calm. "I know you're mad because I got you two separated, I just wanted to even the playing field a little." The kindness Stefan usually portrayed mixed with this newfound dedication to steal Davina from Kai angered, confused, but flattered her.
"You're only angry, because Kai's angry. I never even hurt you, never will." His words had some truth in it. Davina wasn't really mad, they were just words he said to her after all. She could see him gain confidence with the simple fact that the roses and him wanting her to give him a shot were completely honest, if anything sweet.
"The way I see it, you could use the two days to get to know me." Stefan's charms were working on the naïve girl. Davina never really looked at him for too long before now, his bright hazel eyes and strong jawline became apparent to her. Davina's stance finally relaxed. Stefan was able to sense this in the beautiful young girl. She didn't say anything, she didn't know what to say. Stefan knew he had successfully intrigued her.
He broke the daunting silence, "Meet me at the lake in 10, we'll have some fun." Davina watched the tall Salvatore walk away.
Kai was sitting on the grass overlooking the lake. He heard ruffling in the bushes.
"What are you doing here?" he questioned the Salvatore standing in front of him. It was Damon.
"Stop being alone and sad and join the rest of us." Damon replied. He sat down next to Kai.
"Your brother won't stop." Kai started, "He just wants her for the wrong reasons, but he can't have her. It doesn't matter if he got us caught, we had a great time last night, that's something he will never have with her". Remembering Davina's body on top of his as the moonlight seemed to shine in approval last night was a memory Kai knew holding on to would keep him sane for the next 2 days without her.
Damon gave Kai a comforting tap on the back, "Stefan knows he's defeated but I must say this is the first time I've seen him not win, he always gets what he wants."
1:15 pm
The conversation ended quickly when the two heard familiar laughter in the distance. They peered through a bush and saw Davina there. Kai started to push Damon's head down when he saw her start to remove her uniform.
What the hell is she doing, she doesn't seem like herself. Skinny dipping or swimming in her underwear, why?
Kai's confusion morphed into a livid revelation when he saw Stefan rise from the lake like a sea monster, ready to catch his precious Davina as she leaped from the dock into the waters.
"Are you fucking kidding." Kai couldn't look away, he had nothing but pure rage now. Damon finally got up from the ground. After seeing what Kai had seen Damon started to chuckle and nod his head in disapproval, "Oh damn, see. He always gets what he wants. Bastard."
1:10 pm
Davina found herself there at the lake. Searching for Stefan Salvatore. She didn't know why she came.
Maybe Stefan has a point. Maybe you're stupid. You should just head back. It's too late to change your mind. You're already here anyway. Her thoughts kept contradicting each other.
Davina felt a gust of wind pass by her and she sees Stefan bare back in boxer shorts sprinting towards the dock. The image baffles her.
"C'mon what are you waiting for!" The genetically blessed man yells right before he jumps in the lake water, head first. Seeing Stefan actually looking like he was having fun tortured her, she needed to leave but she wanted to stay. The sun was shining on a perfect day, why not?
It seemed an angel and devil were standing on each side of her shoulder telling her opposite things…
Angel: Head back, Kai would be unhappy you even considered.
Devil: What? This is your chance. Kai will be gone for 2 days!
Angel: Don't listen to her, Davina you are good. Do the right thing.
Devil: Yeah do the right thing and give Stefan an equal shot.
1:15 pm
The devil made sense, equality was good. Why was the angel against fairness and equality? This realization caused Davina to laugh at the irony of it all. Was she crazy?
Probably. She thought.
She found herself starting to lift off her polyester top and unzip her plaid skirt. Her white lace underwear was revealed for anyone to see. She didn't care, what was the harm? She jumps in the water, Stefan's there waiting for her. His angelicness have consumed her. He's finally got her.
