After her little discussion with Mikael, Davina had to face the fact that he was right about a few things. Klaus would come looking for them and anyone with half a brain would know exactly where to find them. If Klaus came, before she was ready for him, her plan would turn into a complete disaster. She had to leave town and she had to do it soon. The bayou would provide her with the quiet and privacy that she needed to complete the spell and unleash Mikael, as they were both anxious to do. But first, Davina had to say goodbye.
Walking into Rousseau's, Davina sighed heavily as she made her way to an empty table. She had texted Kaleb asking for him to meet her but he hadn't arrived yet. She hated to be away from him but she couldn't risk him becoming anymore wrapped up in this business with Klaus than he already was. Tim had died because he had gotten involved and Davina wasn't about to lose anyone else. Losing another loved one would destroy her.
Looking up suddenly, not having heard Kaleb arrive, she smiled and held out a hand, indicating for him to sit in the chair across from her. "Kaleb, I need to tell you something. Something that you're not going to like."

Having gotten Davina's text while with Finn he glared at his brother. No love was lost between either and he knew his brother was already beginning to question his loyalties. The only person Finn had ever listened to was their Mother and it remained true today. The love Finn had for their mother had always been creepy and bothersome and had gotten the rest of the siblings in trouble since he was always feeling on them.
"Tell Mum I'll be back, Davina wants to have a little chat." Finn narrowed his eyes at Kol watching him carefully.
"Davina is nothing more than a means to an end Kol, you may be in a new body but I know when you aren't focused. Stop complimenting her and find out what she's hiding or I will."
Growling Kol grabbed his brother by the throat and slammed him against the wall, "You're an uncharismatic prick and Mum didn't give this job to you Finn so go back to kissing her arse and I'll do what I'm supposed to." Releasing Finn he headed out.
Reaching Rousseau's it wasn't hard to find Davina. The girl seemed lost in her own thoughts as he leaned down and pressed his lips against her cheek starling her. "I thought we had a chat about how 'telling you something' and 'we need to talk' are worrisome phrases."

A smile tugged at Davina's lips at Kaleb's good natured scolding of her choice of phrases. She knew that Kaleb's nerves had been set on edge as soon as the words were out of her mouth. Men had a way on instinctively knowing that a conversation was going to be bad when those two sayings were mentioned.
Davina slid her hand across the table, grabbing hold of Kaleb's hand and giving it a slight squeeze. She tried to find the correct words to say that wouldn't cause a fight. Davina didn't want, what could very well be, the last time she saw Kaleb to end badly. "Kaleb, I have to leave town for awhile. I have to take Mikael somewhere that Klaus won't find us."

Well at least he got her to smile but that didn't make him any less weary about what she wanted to discuss with him. Though this was a whole new situation for him he felt an odd sense of nervousness. She'd already tried to end whatever this was that they currently had and if she truly knew who he was she would have gone through with it.
Giving her hand a squeeze he gave her what he hoped was an open minded look but he wasn't feel very open minded. There was a bit of an awkward silence as she either talked herself up or tried to figure out what to say.
Hearing her words he clenched his jaw and had to do his best to stop himself from saying what he wanted. They'd already had the 'you don't own' me fight and it was really hard not to bring that all up again. "Does a place like that even exist? He doesn't seem like someone who would just give up because something got hard."
Leaning across the table he tightened his grip slightly on her hand. "Davina you don't have to do this alone you know that right?" If Davina left the city his Mum was definitely going to take notice and he could only hide so much.

Of course Kaleb would be the type of boyfriend to want to come with her. His penchant for protecting her is part of what made him one of Klaus' targets in the first place. She knew that Klaus could possibly try to get information from him about where she had went so the less he knew the better. Klaus wouldn't kill Kaleb if he thought he would be useful to him as leverage later, or so she kept telling herself to make herself feel better about not bringing him along with her.
"There's a place that I have already protected with magic. It'll suppress my location, even if Klaus does manage to find a witch who will help him. And yes I do need to do this myself. I can't let you drag yourself into this again."

Though he may have a new body his temper was still very much the same and she was working on his final nerve, not that he had many to begin with. Nik couldn't hurt him of course he couldn't exactly explain to Davina why but she was trying to protect him when he didn't need it. If she left the city it wouldn't be him that his Mum sent after her, it would be Finn and the man had turned rather blood thirsty since his return to life.
Closing his eyes he clenched his jaw and tried to think of calming thoughts, the problem with that was he didn't exactly have any. Well the thought of snapping Jeremy Gilbert's neck brought him a perverse sense of pleasure and toned down his rage a bit.
"Davina I'm already in this love." Studying her for a moment something in his mind seemed to click, "You don't fully believe you'll be coming back." How he knew that he wasn't sure but the odd intuition like feeling was there.

Davina watched Kaleb's jawbone working as he sought to control himself. She had never really seen him lose his temper, other than his little temper tantrum when she slapped him. It was actually really nice to see him in such a state. It reminded her that he was indeed human and imperfect after all. A zenlike state seemed to come over him and she guessed that he had gone to his proverbial happy place.
When Kaleb guessed that she didn't think she was going to come back she sighed heavily, reluctantly nodding. "Mikael's promised me that he would kill me as soon as he's released and you know Klaus is itching to kill me for brining Mikael back," Davina shrugged nonchalantly as if she were talking about the weather. "I'm ready to die if it'll keep my friends safe. I don't want you to get caught in the crossfire."

His hand immediately tightened on hers as he heard her words. Normally he didn't think much of death, it happened and no one could stop it. He'd been the cause of death for more people than he could ever count but Davina speaking of her own death hit him a different way. "What if I'm not ready to lose you?" There was a ferociousness to his voice that surprised even him.
"You talk about being willing to die to keep friends safe but do you think they can appreciate a world without you?" She always talked about wanting to save and protect everyone else but who was looking out for her?

Davina's hand ached from how hard Kaleb grasped it, making her wince. She felt tears fill her eyes at his comment about not being ready to lose her. She marveled at how she always seemed to cry when she was around Kaleb although the tears were usually happy ones. A sad smile spread across her face, "I don't see this ending any other way but I'm not going to go down without a fight."
The truth was she wasn't ready to die. She would do it if that's what it took but she knew what was waiting for her on the other side, her ancestors. She knew they had to be chomping at the bit to torment her. She would fight tooth and nail to make sure they didn't get the chance anytime soon but, in the end, that might not be enough.
"If I do die, at least it would be for something, and someone, worthwhile. A lot of people don't get that Kaleb. You'll all be able to go on and have great lives, free from Klaus. You'll....you'll be able to be happy."

Realizing how tight his grip on Davina was he loosened his fingers, "Sorry." Though he didn't let her hand go. In truth he didn't see it possible for this to end many different ways, someone would die and given the two powerful forces stacked against Davina, Klaus excluded her survival rate seemed low. Mikael wouldn't hesitate to kill her once he was free and if his Mum found out Davina was holding Mikael, Esther would kill the other witch to free him.
Currently Nik wasn't stupid enough to kill Davina since killing her would unleash their father and the past had taught him even with their combined might their father reigned supreme. How many times had Mikael bested Elijah and Rebekah over the years when they'd stood beside Klaus? It was a wonder either of them were still alive.
Thinking about Rebekah caused him sadness, apparently Nik had sent her away banning her from ever returning. Given how much she had cared and how long she had stood beside Nik he couldn't imagine what had caused that. "Then promise me your live for something. Seems we'd all benefit far greater from that."
When she said he'd be able to be happy he nearly laughed. Happiness was no his to have, once Esther got what she wanted he had no doubt he would be killed, they probably all would. "What if my happiness depends on someone else?" He asked softly leaned forward his elbows resting on the table.

Davina's brow furrowed and she cocked her head to the side as Kaleb visibly grew saddened. She hadn't thought that he'd be so upset over the thought of losing her. Sure they were together but it hadn't been that long.
"I promise you that I'll try as hard as I can to make it out alive. Besides, I do have protection with me," She held up her wrist and flashed Kaleb the bracelet he had spelled for her. "I'll at least know when danger gets close. It'll give me a chance to prepare."
Davina wasn't sure if any of the things she said was making Kaleb feel any better but she hoped so. She didn't want him to spend their entire time apart worrying.
Her mouth opened slightly and Davina tried to think quick for a reply about Kaleb's happiness depending on someone else. What exactly was he trying to say? She didn't want to jump to conclusions but her mind was going wild with the possible meanings of that sentence. Trying to sound nonchalant, Davina raised a brow and asked, "What do you mean? Who does your happiness depend on?"

This influx of emotion was something new to him and he chalked it up to the fact that he was more human than he had been in centuries. For a vampire your emotions were heightened but he'd chosen not to feel a majority of his emotions a long time ago. His humanity had never been fully turned off but he wasn't sure anyone would have believed he had any regardless.
"Davina..." Words seemed to fail him which was rather odd but he didn't know what to say. "I really hope you have something more up your sleeve than that bracelet." Ok so definitely not the best thing he could have said but he felt more useless than he ever had before.
As Davina's questions changed his brow rose and he had to think over what he'd just said. He had been under the impression he was only thinking that but apparently he had vocalized that thought. His life depended on another and yet he hadn't felt alive until Davina had actually voiced concern for him which was more than anyone had done in centuries. "It depends on an extremely stubborn girl who takes me anger in strides and seems more worried about the world than herself."
He paused for a moment, "And who makes me smile even when that's not really what I'm feeling."

Davina felt her eyes water again as Kaleb spoke. Taking a deep breath, she tried her best to fight them back but failed as a tear fell from her eye and rolled down her cheek. Kaleb had quickly become famous to her for bringing tears to her eyes and she reached into her pocket and fished out a tissue to dad them away.
Leaning forward Davina looked around to make sure there were no werewolves around. "There is something more up my sleeve. I have the grimoire of one of the most powerful witches ever. I have a full arsenal of her spells."
As Kaleb spoke of her being critical to his happiness, Davina blushed bright pink and wiped her eyes once more. She was at a loss for words which was something that rarely haooened. "Kaleb...I...I." Not being able to find the right words, Davina merely squeezed Kaleb's hand tightly and leaned over the table to kiss him gently on the lips.

For a moment he wondered if it was normal for teenage girls to cry so much but he honestly didn't have the answer to that one. Though maybe it was just his fault because he couldn't imagine this was normal. Reaching across the table with his free hand he wiped some of the tears from her cheeks.
Davina leaned forward as if she were going to share a big secret with him. Yeah this secret was a dozy and he stared at her for a moment. She couldn't mean...well Elijah and Nik were the last to have the grimoire and what they did with it he didn't know. "Can you translate it?"
Even if Davina couldn't if he could get a look at it he could. The language it was written it probably wasn't one Davina was used to and without knowing his Mum it might he hard to understand what she was getting at. If Davina had it though, Kol might actually stand a chance of keeping the life he currently had.
"Just be careful." He finally his lips brushing against hers as he spoke. "I'm not saying you have to let me know where you are but at least let me know you're ok every so often. Though every day is good too."

Davina raised a brow at Kaleb wondering how he knew she had to translate it. "Well it's in something like Latin so it takes time. Time that I don't really have."
When Davina pulled back from their kiss, her eyes fluttered open at Kaleb's request for her to contact him so that he knew she was alright. Against her better judgment she smiled slightly and nodded. The protective spells should keep Klaus from being able to track her location. "I'll keep in touch Kaleb. I promise."
