Holding On To You

Chapter Five

Warning: This chapter is rated strong T to R because of dark themes

Kol stopped in his track in front of the gate of the church because he found it opened. In the two times he had been here, it had always been closed nor did he see that annoying baby vampire standing guard. As soon as he entered the church he got a sense that something was very wrong due to the quietness or maybe it had something to do with him being inside a church and someone above thought he should pay for all of his past crimes. Kol set the bag of food in his hand down in one of the pews as he walked down the aisle looking to see if anything was out of place and there was one thing. His eyes landed on Josh who was lying on the floor and his neck in an odd angle. Kol hurried to the kid's side as he got another look and winced at the sight. He knew from experience that those broken necks were painful and he hated it himself. Kol looked around noticing that Davina was nowhere in sight as well. This made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up as he flashed up the stair to the attic room to find it empty as well.

"Davina!" Kol called looking up around the room walking out and go further down all to make sure there were no other rooms for which she could be in, but he didn't get a response or the sound of her gentle voice. Kol flashed back down into the church looking for more clues to what may have happened. He recalled from Marcel that Davina liked to sneak out, but Kol didn't think she would leave her friend with a broken neck. He pulled out his phone to call Marcel, but stopped as he realized that he had no way of contacting him "Shit!" He muttered and kneeled to check josh's pockets for his phone smiling as he felt an oblong object quickly pulling it out (AN my mind totally went dirty on this) opening it to the home screen and saw five missed calls from Marcel and hit the call button.

"Josh," Marcel said in rushed voice tell Kol that Marcel was in distressed. "Where in the hell have you been?"

"Marcel, it's Kol," He interjected. "You need to get to the church right away. I found Josh on the floor with his neck broken and Davina no where to be found."

"Damn," Marcel growled. "That call I got at the bar was one of my guys telling me to come to the docks. I come here only to find Sophie Deveraux dead. I am going to kill Josh for letting them get to her."

"Give him a break," Kol chided. "The lad had his neck broken and he was inside the church. Don't you find it a bit funny that someone did a spell knowing you would come after them and then your guys found that girl's body."

"And I am guessing this is was Bastianna meant by Sophie being unavailable. They did it to keep me distracted," Marcel said as he pieced the everything together.

"It was planned," Kol added. "They had to get you away so they could get to Davina. Just get to the church and we will figure out what to do next." Kol finished as his own phone began to ring and groaned as he saw the name.

"What?" Marcel asked concerned.

"Nothing," Kol said. "Just my annoying brother calling me."

"Alright, I will see you in a few," Marcel said before hanging up.

Kol placed Josh's phone by him as he answered his own. "Twice in one day, Brother. I think this maybe a record. Oh wait....there were no such things as cellphones when you last daggered me."

"Sounds like that coffin did you some good," Nik drawled. "Got you some humor. I am calling with some bad news I'm afraid."

"Tell me already," Kol prodded wondering what could be next.

"Finn's dead," Nik said and Kol could hear the sadness in his brother's voice confirming the truth.

"How?" Kol swallowed harshly as he took in the news. He was not close to Finn by any means, but that didn't change the facts that they were brothers.
