Katherine Pierce was not an easy woman to keep up with. She had a lot of practice at disappearing after all but Davina smirked at the ease in which she tracked the little doppleganger, her best friend, down. The home in which Katherine had taken up residence was nice, grand by Davina's measure.
It would be difficult for Davina, saying goodbye to Katherine but she had to take Mikael somewhere that Klaus wouldn't find them until she was ready for the great confrontation to take place. Until Marcel and Josh were unlinked though, she couldn't take any chances and getting out of the city was her best bet.
Raising a fist, Davina knocked loudly on the door wanting to make sure that she was heard. She wondered, briefly, if Elijah or Klaus were having the home watched. If they would know that she had been here. "Katherine? Are you home? I need to talk to you!"

Katherine raised her brow as the knock echoed around the house. She reached up to rub a thumb against her nose, and then placed the spoon onto the counter. Elijah was out somewhere teaching whatever-her-name-was how to be a "proper vampire" which left her alone. She had thought very briefly about going out, but then resigned herself to the fact that until Stefan made his grand appearance in New Orleans it was best she stay out of sight and out of mind.
She grabbed a knife from the butcher block as she headed out of the kitchen and down the hall towards the door. Once she got close enough, she relaxed, hearing Davina's voice from the other side of the door. Flipping the knife over so that she was holding the blade in her hand, she opened the door.
"What a pleasant surprise..." She smiled faintly, and then turned around to start back down the hall, allowing Davina to close the door. "Hungry?"

A wide smile stretched Davina's face when Katherine opened the door. It had been too long since she had seen her friend, both having gotten caught up in their own difficulties involving Klaus. As she stepped inside, Davina looked around the opulent home, recognizing Elijah's taste immediately. She had lived in the abattoir long enough to know his taste.
"Starving actually. I wanted to come by early because I have a lot of preparations to make before tonight."
A sudden thought flashed into her mind. Since Elijah had bought Katherine this home then he knew where it was. Perhaps they had even picked up their romance, since they had feelings for each other. Elijah could be here at this very moment.

"Good. I'm cooking pasta with chicken and Parmesan cheese." Katherine added over her shoulder as she stepped into the kitchen. She went back to her station beside the pot of boiling noddles, tossing the knife onto the counter. She raised her brow slightly at Davina, but didn't ask for her to elaborate.
Scooping one of the noddles from pot, she blew on it to let it cool before tossing it at the wall. She nodded her head slightly as it stuck to the wall. Picking up the pot, she brought it over to the sink to poor the noddles into the strainer.
"Elijah? He's out training some new vampire Marcel turned or something. Don't ask me what her name is because I don't know and I don't really care." Her tone was bitter. Elijah had practically forced her to let the vampire into her home, and she wasn't happy about it.

Stepping into the kitchen Davina heard her stomach growl loudly as the delicious smells filled her nose, bringing a bright pink blush to her cheeks.
She didn't realize she had held her breath until she let it out when Katherine informed her Elijah wasn't home. She didn't know how much, if anything, he had told her about her sudden disappearance from the compound. She had even left most of her painting supplies, clothing, and spell ingredients in her room. She hoped that her cloaking spells kept her location a secret even if her belongings were used to scry for her.
"Oh so he's living here now? I never thought he'd leave Klaus' side. Good for him."
Davina hoped to get some sort of idea of what was going on with the two originals. She hated trying to squeeze that information from her best friend but, she was the only link to them she had.

Katherine smirked, adding the chicken that she had already cooked up in with the noodles as she added them back into the pot. She set the pot back on the stone, away from the burner still out, and then added butter. She stirred that for a few minutes, purposely not answer Davina's question. She added garlic and Parmesan cheese a moment later.
Moving away from the stove, she pulled two bowls from the counter. Filling them both, she handed one to Davina, and moved to grab silverware before she sat down at the kitchen table. She picked at her food slightly, handing Davina her own fork as she followed her.
"Elijah comes and goes, yes," she answered finally. She took a bite and then raised a brow. "But I'm sure you didn't come to talk about Elijah..."

Taking the bowl from Katherine, Davina smiled as the delicious smells rose towards her. As soon as she got a fork, she dug into the food with far too much zest, practically shoveling the food into her mouth. After a few minutes, she slowed down and began to chew her food. She gave Katherine a guilty look when she said she didn't come to discuss Elijah. She had hoped for more information than simply that he was living with Katherine but she'd leave it alone.
"Yeah. I..er..wanted to come and tell you....I'm leaving New Orleans for awhile. Things have gotten strained around here and I need to take Mikael and go for awhile."
Davina hoped that the mention of Mikael's name wouldn't upset Katherine but she knew the hope was probably far fetched. Feeling a wave of guilt come over her, knowing how concerned Katherine was for Elijah's well being with Mikael being back, Davina began to pick at her food, refusing to look up from her bowl.

Katherine raised a brow, a smile tugging at her lips as Davina gave her that sweet guilty look. She took a bite, and reached over for the glass of water that she had placed on the table earlier. Swallowing she raised the glass to her lips. She stilled as Davina said she was leaving, and taking Mikael with her. She took a drink, and slowly lowered the glass to the table.
Katherine was incredibly pissed still that Davina had brought Mikael back from the dead to kill not only Niklaus but Elijah, but she cared for Davina. The little witch had managed to weed herself into her heart.
"I see." She said simply. She took another bite out of her food. "You do what you think you need too, Davina."

Davina stirred her food around as she saw the anger flash in Katherine's eyes for a few brief moments. She has expected as much, seeing as she was still in love with Elijah and vice versa. Davina hated that she had gotten caught in the middle of her battle, she never wanted to do that to her friend.
Davina's eyes snapped up to Katherine when she told her to do what she needed to. Davina narrowed her eyes, feeling that Katherine was trying to push her away. A sigh escaped her lips as she took the last bite of the food. "I'm going to miss you Katherine and I'm sorry I got you caught in the middle of this. When we first met you were nothing more than a tool to me. Since then, you've become my best friend."

Katherine let go of her fork to let it clatter against the bowls side. She pinched the bridge of her nose, and the pushed away from the table. She moved to crouch down beside Davina. She tilted her head slightly, and rested her hand on the arm of the chair Davina sat at.
"Don't take my words to mean I don't want you here, Davina. But what you've done with Mikael? Has painted a target on your back. Klaus is a ticking time bomb, and Elijah is beginning to unravel which makes him unpredictable and dangerous. I want you safe...and that means you need to go as far away as you can."
She licked her lips. "I think you could very well be the first friend I've actually had in a really long time."

Davina looked down at Katherine as she spoke. She knew that Klaus had made her one of his biggest targets, if he hadn't she would've been hugely offended. As expected, the original brothers had closed ranks but she had expected Elijah to maintain his sense composure, as he always did. The news that he had begun to unravel made her gulp. She could take on one of the brothers with her magic, if needed, but certainly not two. It appeared that, if Mikael fell, she'd be in more trouble than she thought.
Standing from her seat, Davina pulled Katherine into a tight hug. She had known there was a chance that she wouldn't come out alive, being killed by either Mikael or Klaus, but she had never expected Elijah to be a threat to her life. He had refused to drink from her when he was starving, holding himself to higher standards. She'd have to greatly rethink her strategy.
"I can't tell you where I'm going since you can be compelled. But I promise I will do my best to stay safe. Goodbye Katherine."
Giving Katherine one last embrace, she turned and checked that nobody was outside waiting for her before heading out. She had said her goodbye. Now she simply hoped it wouldn't be her last.
