Holding On To You

Chapter Ten

Davina turned to see the empty batting cage and an idea came to her mind. She got to her feet before squatting down slipping her hands under his arms just below his arm pits. Davina let out a breath because she knew this was going to be a job to move him. She stood up as she pulled him, but he was heavier than she thought. She tugged on him with all her strength and managed moved him only what seemed like an inch. She stopped for moment before pulling on him again this harder and his body moved a few more inches. Gritting her teeth, she pulled harder her arms aching against his dead weight only stopping to open the door to the cage.

She moved back to pull him as gently as she could so she wouldn't hit the object. She winced at she looked at the bloody bat as she could only imagine how it felt and she knew that he was going to fine, but that didn't meant it was any less painful. She let him go for a minute because her arms were sore. She didn't know a vampire could weigh so damn much and she had managed to break a sweat. She sighed in relief as she managed to finally pull him through the threshold.

Davina rolled him on to his side grabbing the handle of the bat and pulled it out of his stomach tossing it to the ground. She then pulled his body up into a sitting position, lifting his shirt examining the wound to see if there were any more pieces of wood that she may have missed because it wasn't healing as it was supposed to. Davina took off her jacket as she was going to it to put pressure to the wound. Clenching her eyes shut, she forced her hand into his stomach trying to stop her own from losing its contents as she felt around for anything. Pushing her hand a bit more her knuckles brushed up against the bottom of his rib case as her fingers hit something that did not feel anything bone or flesh. She pulled her hand out with the piece of wood in her grasp and the wound. Chucking it away, she picked up her jacket bunching it up then pressing it to the wound as it began to slowly heal. Suddenly, Kol jerked up grimacing from the pain that was wracking through his middle, breathing heavily as he worked out what happened in his brain. His eyes landed on Davina who was concentrating on his abdomen. He was glad that she was safe from harm

"I think I got all of it out," She said tilting her head as she lifted the fabric off of it. Davina lifted her eyes to meet his and she felt a weight lift off her shoulders. "You know when I said be careful?" She asked. "This is not what I meant." She gave a slight laugh as she she shook her head.

"Did they see you?" Kol asked worriedly.

"No," Davina shook her head. "I don't think so." She lowered her eyes back to his stomach pulling the jacket away.

"Good,"He grimaced again as he moved leaning back against the fence as he felt anger flood his being. "I am kill each and every one of them. Since I can't kill the doppelganger, I will kill her brother in front of her."

"You will not kill Jeremy," Davina scolded evenly. "He is a sweet kid and it is not his fault that he's been dragged into this mess." She pulled the jacket to see if it had heal and let out a sigh of frustration. "Why isn't this healing at it should?"

"We heal faster if we drink blood after we are injured," Kol said closing his eyes as he grabbed on to the fence using it to pull himself up, but didn't make it far before dropping back to the ground. "This sucks."

Davina sighed as she knew that there were no blood bags in the car and there was no one around leaving them with only one option. "Take my blood," She offered and Kol immediately shook his head refusing.

"No way," He said, but Davina was not taking 'no' for an answer and pushed the sleeve of her right arm up from her wrist and held it up for him to take.

"We don't have any other option," She said trying to reason with him, but he still shook his head no.

"I will be fine until we get back to the cabin. Just give me a few minutes," Kol said earnestly. He couldn't take her blood and he noticed her blood stained hands. "Did you pull it out of me?" He asked looking up to her face as she nodded.
