The Vixen & the Fox II

Chapter 275

Kol woke with the horrid sensation of Davina being torn from him. She was still sleeping soundly beside him which had Kol tensing as he felt the void again, his arm curled around Davina tightly as he started looking around in the night. With the nights shortening, Kol would admit it was a bit of a relief not to worry about the Nogitsune as much with the encroaching daylight. Slowly he got himself upright, keeping a hand on Davina just so he could grab her if needed.

"Kol?" she breathed tiredly which had him looking down at her.

"It's fine," Kol murmured as he laid back down. She grumbled as she rolled back over, so she draped herself over him as she rubbed her eyes. He traced her spine which had him smiling as he watched her wake herself up a bit. Davina blinked a few times her blue eyes were bright in the dim light which had him smiling a little as he studied her face.

"What's got you awake?" she asked softly, the ends of her hair were ticking his skin and he just shrugged.

"Just woke up, love, nothing else," he promised softly.

"Liar," she muttered sleepily.

He snorted and smiled a bit. "I'm not lying," he promised.

"Then what's the matter, Kol?"

He didn't have an answer for her as he traced her spine. She was so soft, and delicate under his touch, so soft, and strong. "I sometimes think I dream of the other me," he murmured softly.

Davina blinked a few times, tilting her head curiously a her brow furrowed.

"I don't know, I just... I get impressions, of something, and it wakes me up, and I think it's HIS, not mine," he murmured honestly. Kol had woken to the horrible feeling that Davina was gone, taken from him, that she could disappear.

"How long have you been... feeling or receiving those dreams?" she asked curiously.

Kol sighed as he frowned. "Not often enough for me to actually stress about it, but when they come, they... they surprise me," he admitted.

Davina sat up, straddling his stomach as she propped herself up and seemed to think, looking around the room. "When was the first dream like this?"

"Before the Harvest, I believe I saw Big You's death," he admitted, he gripped her thighs as she seemed to twist around looking for something and then paper and pen were flying at them. She caught them with ease; Kol wasn't paying her actions too much attention, he was a bit distracted with her naked state. Davina started jotting down something and Kol tried not to think about distracting her, her body was very distracting; particularly her nipples as she was obviously cold, and he wanted to warm her up.

"What are you dreaming about?" she asked suddenly, yanking him out of his fantasy of suckling on her breasts until she was screaming his name.

"I don't know," he answered honestly. "I just got the sense you weren't there, and it was violent and painful."

Davina nodded and she started working out something. "Big me mentioned she died at nineteen, but was brought back five years later, when she was twenty-four..."

Davina's head snapped up to him as he watched her work. "I think the Hollow is sooner than we're thinking," she admitted to him.

"Why are you thinking that?" Kol asked her.

"I'm twenty-four Kol, which means if everything is tracking to some semblance of sequence of events, then the Quads would be about the age Hope was when the Hollow first attacked. I think, whatever happened to Big Me, whatever it was that just sort of... meddled with time, I don't think those events were erased completely but rather changed as we went... Big Me though wasn't just bound to my Harvest Kol, there were another set of Harvest Girls with us," Davina explained.
