A Thousand Year Old Heart

✴Chapter 9: Confident Thoughts, Weak Minds

Come on Davina...breathe...everything will work out, don't worry..

And where was Josh anyway?

It had been 13 minutes since she called him and he hadn't showed up yet. Everything was set for the ritual; the Original was there, she had learned how to pronounce each word exactly for the spell so the only thing that was missing was one more vampire and that would be Josh. She sat across the unconscious Mikealson, still a bit intimidate by his presence. Could she really get in his head? Just thinking of the things and malice this guys has experienced, made the hairs on the back of her beck rise. Needless to say how difficult would it be to actually invade a cunning mind like his; but she new from the start what she had gotten herself into. She knew the risk, and she gladly took it.

But looking at his relaxed and attractive face made her stomach twist multiple times and she almost had the urge to give up on her plan. Why? This vampire was just like any other, horrible and heartless. No to mention Kol had hurt Camille and almost murdered her. Plus he had refused to even listen to her from the very start. He deserved this. There was no reason to pity him whatsoever.

Yeah, she was right. Davina was just a bit too emotional sometimes and let her humane side take over her. Kol could not be saved at this point even if she decided to let him go. He had done too many crimes to be forgiven for his sins.

Abruptly, the door flew open revealing a very anxious Josh.

The witch shot on her feet, a big wide smile spreading across her face. "You came," she exclaimed.

"You didn't really give me an option here you know," he breathed, shutting the door behind, "I still don't agree with this. But- Holy crap, Davina what did you do to him?!"

Josh's mouth started to gape as soon as he lay his eyes on Kol and, basically he just stood there dumbfounded. Davina rolled her eyes and shrugged her shoulders, not really minding Kol's condition right now. "I had to do it. He's just knocked out and we shouldn't waste any more time."

Josh did not speak this time, he just stood there and continued staring at the young Mikealson, in the end though he let out a sigh of frustration. "So what's the plan exactly? Do your voodoo stuff, then hop in a time machine and travel one hundred years back? Sounds pretty logical to me." he admitted ironically.

Davina just sighed, "You wish it was that simple. Kol will give one of a hell fight to block me out of his thoughts."

"But he's unconscious, how can he fight back?"

"He's still an Original, Josh. His mind has been working for ten centuries now and it might the strongest one you'll ever see. As much as I hate to admit it, Kol radiates a very strong aura, almost terrifying. But I am pretty sure, in the state I am right now, I can get through his head."

Josh combed his hair with his fingers, staring at her nervously. "Yeah, I really do not want to see him awake. So..let's start with it, right?"

With a nod of her head, she glanced back to her book one last time and took a big breath making sure she hadn't skipped any important step. Yes. It was time. And with that, she stepped into the broken circle that used to trap Kol inside. She stood next to his motionless body and, while holding some herbs in her left knuckle, she began chanting.

The candles instantly lit up, illuminating just a bit the dull attic. It took a few seconds for Josh to adjust to the sudden change in the atmosphere of the room, giving him a creepy vibe. Whenever he witnessed Davina chanting those spells in this unknown language, he always felt the hairs of his back rising. In the blink of an eye, his sweet and lovable friend with the bright smile could turn into the coldest and emotionless being whenever her supernatural side was taking over her. It was, pretty scary to see but at the same time he couldn't feel prouder of her. When they had first met Davina was just another teen witch of New Orleans, but now she had grown into a fearless and determined woman.
