I Do Not Own Vampire Diaries/The Originals/Legacies
Klaus stood in his gallery a bit bamboozled about his brother's call, he had answered the call-in good cheer thinking he had found a way to bring Marcel into the fold again only to be threatened with war of all bloody things; from Kol. KOL! If the prospect wasn't so genuinely terrifying, then it would've been amusing. Kol being the most wily and unpredictable of them made him dangerous to cross, because Kol wouldn't play a long-term, mind game with them, he would just tear it all down and set it ablaze then come after them and he wouldn't relent unless he was put in a box or killed.
Kol also knew all their weak points to hit when he attacked, which made him genuinely threatening, and currently Kol was in possession of the White Oak Stake.
Kol had taken after their father in that aspect, and while it was all fun and games for Kol, a few tiffs here and there over the millennium, his little brother was at the end of the day, still his little brother.
The Kol he had just spoken to, was the one who spoke like that to his enemies, and Klaus had never been on the receiving end of that.
Old fox boy might be a crafty bugger, but he was bloody dangerous when motivated, and Klaus didn't like the thought of being on the wrong side of Kol. The only good thing to come of their vampirism was Kol's lack of magic, when he had been a witch, he had been hell to cross. Any real fall out with Kol would not be like a tiff with Bekah or Elijah, in the end they would make up and carry on, but Kol, unlike them, held grudges and he was stubborn enough to keep the grudge for eternity and he had all the time in the world to hold his grudge too.
Klaus grabbed his jacket, something was seriously wrong for Kol to be threatening him, and he would bet it had to do with the little witch who had wrapped Marcel around her finger. He went to the Salvatore brothers' home first. Klaus' anger and fury was simmering on the backburner with his concern at the forefront of his mind.
Klaus was about to pound on the door when Stefan yanked it open calling over his shoulder.
"I don't know, Caroline said Kol and Hayley had grabbed Bonnie!" Stefan shouted.
"Then it appears that I am at the wrong location." Klaus stated which garnered the attention of both brothers who just now noticed him looming in the doorway. "And for a change we are after the same thing," he drawled out lazily.
"What's your evil brother doing to Bonnie!" Damon snapped.
"I assure you I am at a loss at this moment, I came here because I just received an interesting call from my little brother, which lead me to suspect you were involved with whatever has upset him."
"We haven't had contact with Kol since that homicidal lunatic chained me up and gave me to his psycho, know-it-all witch, who I still owe for the hangover!" Damon snapped.
"That is apparent if he has taken your witch, which means only one thing," Klaus decided as he left. Kol would be at the witch's playhouse.
They pulled up to the old house and Kol grabbed Bonnie as he balled the dress up in his grip as he dragged the witch towards the house.
"You can't…" Bonnie started.
"I don't bloody care, you will invite me in," he snarled as he felt the veins snaking over his face and his fangs bared. "Now."
"Come in," she whispered nervously.
"Keep her still," he ordered, shoving her to Hayley. Darting through the house and grabbed ingredients, finding the main room for magic he saw the altar Davina probably set up and he started preparing the spell.
"What is this?" Bonnie demanded.
"Locator spell," he answered as he spread out the map. "You're going to do it, use this," he threw the dress at her as he stood across from Bonnie and then pulled a knife as he pricked his finger to give his blood. He might not have a close relationship with Davina, but she had declared him her best friend which meant her connection to him would be strong enough to be utilized.
Bonnie stared nervously at him. "I haven't… not since the Expression."
"That's why I am here," he stated as he crouched down. "Magic 1-O-1, you are going to feel your element, move it within yourself, you're going to listen to the voices and reach for their power, keep a clear mind," he ordered as he held out his hand. "If in doubt, channel me."
Bonnie nodded nervously as she reached over and took his hand before resting a hand on the wrinkled, crumpled dress.
"Focus. You know the spell and the magic, just focus, don't look into the nothing, listen to nature," he ordered.
She nodded a bit and he wrapped his fingers around hers as she took a deep breath and started the incantation.
Hayley looked at him, and he nodded when they heard a car coming, she was swift to leave the room then. Kol opened his mind with the connection to Bonnie as he saw what she saw and the magic flowed through her, over her, drowning her, the ancestors were reacting to her, and they were rushing to find Davina. He could see it in Bonnie's mind before they were standing in a dungeon room and Davina was slumped over in an iron chair, Bonnie gasped as she released him shattering the connection which had his eyes snapping down as his blood rolled over the map.
The trail was obvious, he watched it as it rolled and then it was in a remote forest area before his red blood turned black and fire erupted there.
"I know where she is," Bonnie gasped.
"So, do I," he answered as he grabbed the map and dress, leaving the house.
"I just want Bonnie." Caroline said nervously as she clambered out of her car and saw Hayley standing there glaring dangerously at her.
"Not until we find Davina," Hayley hissed.
"Davina? Has something happened to her!?" Caroline demanded as anxiety built. She hadn't known the little witch long, but Caroline liked to think they were friends, or friendly.
Hayley didn't answer as her hazel eyes narrowed and she growled lowly like an actual wolf.
"Well, it appears we're not the only ones looking for the little witch now," Klaus said as he materialized. Caroline felt swamped with relief at the sight of the Original, but then tensed as he looked around before settling his gaze on Hayley. "What happened, little wolf?"
"You tell me," she growled. "You've been threatening her."
"I did not take her." Klaus looked both offended and annoyed.
"Why would you take her!?" Caroline demanded.
"I assure you, I did not take her, sweetheart," he stated firmly as he glared at her. "I would never do this."
"You would just maim, kill and destroy everything in your way," Stefan appeared. "Sorry I'm late, not as fast," he grimaced as he glared at Klaus.
"If he didn't take her, that means someone else did," Stefan stated. "Does she have any enemies?"
"I don't know," Caroline admitted.
They didn't really know anything about Davina other than she was a New Orleans witch and she was freakishly powerful according to Bonnie, she was also smart, clever, coffee addict, generous, and determined, plus no nonsense. She seemed to know what she was doing and how to do it, and if she didn't, she turned to people she thought would know; surprisingly that was Kol Mikaelson. But still, it displayed a level of maturity from Davina's end that Caroline wouldn't have suspected in a teenager. She remembered when she had been a human teenager, the world had just been so… topsy turvy, Davina didn't seem to have those afflictions. She had different problems, but she was so calm and collected about what she was doing, even when she didn't want to be doing whatever she was doing.
"Who would benefit from having her?" Stefan asked.
"Who needs a witch when we have Bonnie," Damon asked as he appeared. "Sorry I'm late, I didn't want to come."
"New Orleans witches are a different breed from your Bennett witch," Klaus stated. "More power, more control, more ruthless, more knowledgeable, they're immersed in their craft from the time of their conception to the time of their death and beyond, if I wanted a witch, I'm more inclined to seek out one of them. A Bennett is all good and fine, but when you could get your hands on a New Orleans witch now, you're playing with power."
"How do you know that?" Caroline demanded.
He just smirked mysteriously and looked at Hayley. "Are you going to let us help little wolf, or are we to remain out here?"
"I'm not inclined to invite the fox into the hen house," she snorted with disdain as she sent Klaus a severe glare.
"And yet you're working with my wily brother," he countered.
"We have mutual interest in Davina's wellbeing," she retorted.
"Hayley," Kol appeared, and the wolf turned to him as they both looked at the map and took to running. Klaus was a step behind them, the Salvatore brothers were not a second behind. Caroline jogged up to where Bonnie was coming out.
"Bonnie!" Caroline caught her friend then.
"We have to help her!" Bonnie stated.
"What's happened to Davina!?" Caroline asked.
"She's trapped, and drugged, the ancestors, they were so angry. Angry she was attacked, angry someone hurt her."
"Was she hurt?"
"I don't know, but we have to get to her!" Bonnie stated.
"Where was she?"
"She was in your dad's torture chamber," Bonnie admitted.
"Oh no," she whispered. They got into the car, and she put it into gear as she slammed on the gas and started for the old cemetery.
It was a warm day, she could feel the sun on her face as she sat on the porch of their newest home, having moved again because of Freya's enemies. Kol appeared with a glass of sweet tea and handed it to her as he sat beside her.
"This is lovely," she chuckled as she enjoyed the feeling of nature again.
"Back to brunette?" he asked toying with her freshly dyed hair.
"Blondes might have more fun, but I like being me," she admitted with a chuckled.
"I like it," he assured her as he settled beside her on the porch swing. "What shall we do today, love?"
"I don't know," she sighed as she leaned against him.
"I know, you should wake up," he said softly.
"I am awake," she replied in confusion as she looked up at her husband.
"Wake Up Davina," hundreds of voices demanded as Kol's lips moved.
She gasped as she felt the surge of power into her which had the dream disappearing and her body going into overdrive as she arched in the seat trying to regain control of her Harvest magic.
"Stop it! Whatever you're doing! Stop!" not Elena shrieked as the earth trembled. The roof of the dungeon trembled, and the iron door rattled as she sat there, the spirits were overreacting to Davina's magic and now them and the Harvest magic was all colliding violently within her.
"Stop! Stop! Stop!" she pleaded with the spirits. "PLEASE!" she whined as it felt like too much power was tearing through her and she cried as she tasted blood on her tongue.
"Davina," a voice whispered.
"Davina," the voice repeated.
"Stay awake! You need to stay awake," the voice ordered.
The spirits seemed to be settling as Davina's breathing leveled out and she looked around the dungeon at the not Elena woman who was clinging to the wall. The herbs were still in her system, but Davina felt like her blood was just set aflame and she could feel her magic burning the muting herbs away now. She snarled now as she glared at the woman and felt enough power to send her smashing through the door.
Kol stopped at the entrance of the abandoned cemetery as the earth trembled violent.
"Kol!"
"It's Davina," he stated as he caught Hayley.
"How do you know!?" she demanded as she clung to him desperately as the earth felt like it was about to shatter.
"Call it a hunch," he admitted as he released her and kept going. He found her scent easy enough, Hayley appeared at his side as she led him into a cave. They both stopped on the stairs just as an iron door shattered and a brunette came smashing through it to the ground.
"Davina!" Hayley shouted leaping past the brunette into the room, he lunged for the brunette who was scrambling then darting off at her top speed. He tore after her grabbing her hair as he threw her through stones and into a rusted fence. She shrieked as he caught her throat and he dangled her to his eye level. Doppelgänger, he could see that, and she did not smell of Elena Gilbert, but he didn't know this one.
"Who the bloody hell are you?" he snarled.
"Kol!" Klaus's voice was behind him.
The brunette took that moment to stab his hand causing him to drop her, she scrambled to run but he lashed out, kicking her as hard as he could in the ribs, feeling it shatter them as he slammed his boot on her back to send her smashing into the ground with her vertebra crumbling beneath his foot. He glared at Klaus as he curled back his lip to bare his fangs.
"What?" he snarled at his brother.
"I have no association with this wench," he stated.
The woman beneath his boot whimpered as he pressed harder down on her spine. Bones were crunching as a pained breath left her lungs.
"But I cannot permit you to kill her," Klaus started calmly.
He glared at his brother then. "I'm not playing by your rules Nik," he stated as he grabbed the woman by her hair and lifted her to be eye level again.
"She looks like that sodding bitch, Elena" he snarled as he finally observed the simpering brunette in his grasp. "I'm going to tear her spine out," Kol growled as he started to reach for the rubble that was her spine.
"And if you kill her, you will have no answers from her," Klaus stated. "She's rarely one to play alone."
"Kol!" a voice shouted.
He snapped the woman's neck then and sent her crumpling to the ground. "If you touch this bitch, I will end you, stay," he snapped as he stormed the cave, he had heard Davina in.
"KOL!" she screamed, and he entered the room as she was sobbing, and winds were tearing through the small, enclosed space.
"Bloody hell," he muttered in disbelief. No witch he'd encountered connected to this many elements at once. The earth was crumbling, the winds howling, there was even water in the air, then he noticed the sparks on Davina's finger tips.
"I can't reach her," Hayley shouted over the winds as she was pressed against the wall with Davina's power, it was like a hurricane had erupted within the room.
"Davina!" he shouted over the winds.
"It's too much! Make it stop!" she screamed. He saw the fire on her fingers ignite and grabbed Hayley as he threw the wolf out of the room just as Davina's power surged. The fire coursed through the circle of wind, hitting the walls with searing force to set the stones ablaze, Davina screeched in agony and then it was silent. He glanced back into the room to see Davina slumped in the seat.
"What was that?" Hayley asked.
"Bonnie's ancestors must have an affection for Davina," he answered as he walked into the room which was still smoldering. "They probably sought her out when we were and tried to get her to channel them."
"And it made her do that?" Hayley asked as she crept in behind him.
"Witches have limits, Davina's stated she's already channeling extra power, my guess is that this overwhelmed her when the ancestors here attempted to connect," he explained. His fingers found her pulse, it was hammering away hard, but steady, he could hear her heart too, and her breathing. Pulling off the restraints he carefully slipped his arms under her. He noted she was shivering, and in her pajamas had a massive coffee stain, the loose sweatpants read 'Why Me?' with some weird caricature creature's face, and he chuckled at the irony of her pants.
She was completely unconscious as she limply slumped against him.
"Is she…?"
"She'll be alright, we need to get her out of here, and warm," he admitted. Hayley was yanking off her jacket and wrapping it around Davina as they walked out of the cave. He was lucky this wasn't a crypt or else he wouldn't have gotten near Davina.
"Davina!" Bonnie and Caroline appeared and ran for him.
"Oh my God!" Caroline skidded in front of him.
"Hayley," he called. "Get her in the car," he ordered as he gingerly passed the unconscious witch to the wolf.
"Take her to the Mikaelson home," Klaus ordered.
Kol glared at his brother as Hayley got Davina in the car.
"No safer place for her after this little excursion, at least until we know who's in league with Katerina," Klaus quipped encouragingly.
Kol conceded his brother had a point, and it would make it easier to keep an eye on Davina, make certain she didn't lose control again if she was where he knew she was safe. Hayley was giving him a look of resistance but he nodded to agree with Klaus which had Hayley nodding. Kol took one last look over of Davina before Hayley was in the driver's seat.
"Take her to Nik's house, wait for me," he murmured softly.
Hayley nodded. Kol snarled as he shut the door of the car and stalked towards the incapacitated vampire. The Salvatore brothers were both staring at the crumpled brunette.
"You can't kill her, Kol," Klaus stated firmly.
"Getting in my way right now is a bad idea, brother," he warned as he brushed Klaus' hand off his shoulder.
He grabbed the brunette by the hair and dragged the limp body after him towards that cave where that chair was. Tossing her on it, he redid the restraints he had found Davina in. Walking around the room he smirked, it was a nifty little vampire torture chamber, would save him the trouble. He found the chain to open a slat, then walked to the unconscious woman to grab her daylight ring off her finger.
"What are you going to do?" the self-righteous brother appeared, and he glared at the Salvatore but didn't answer. Double checking the restraints, he waited for his prey to come around as he toyed with the daylight ring. Klaus appeared then.
"I just finished talking to Bekah, she'll be at the house when the girls arrive with your little witch," Klaus informed him.
Kol still said nothing as he glared at the unconscious vampire.
