Holding On To You

Chapter Thirteen

Kol sighed as he shift the car into park as he turned off the engine. He turned to see the dark cabin before him and he dreaded going inside. Mainly because he felt like the world's biggest ass. He had spent the last several hours at Kelly's calming down which led to thinking and his regret. He couldn't believe the way he acted towards before he stormed out or why he got so angry. All she was trying to do was talk to him and everything she said was true. He does care even if he didn't want to admit to anyone, and he was not used to anyone forcing him to talk about is feelings and it caught him of guard. He didn't blame her if she never talked to him again after his outburst.

He pushed the car door open and climbed out shutting it behind him before taking in a deep breath as he walked up the pathway finding the door unlocked. He walked into a dark room and went over to a corner table to turn on a lamp so he could see his way around. He saw that the kitchen was spotless, no pots and pan were left on the stove or sink and even the drying rack was empty.

Kol took off his jacket throwing it over the couch as he made his way to the stairs. He was making his way to his room when he stopped outside her closed door. He listen to see if he could hear anything and he was wondering how she was feeling, but couldn't tell if she way awake nor was there a sign of light coming from underneath the door. He raised his hand to knock, but his thoughts made him stop. He figured that it could wait until the morning, when all was fresh. Maybe he could fix her breakfast with that french toast she seemed to love with cherries on top. He knew that cherries were her favorite fruit and little bit of powdered sugar. He started to turn away when something caught his attention. It was her voice, but muffled and then she spoke again. Kol froze as he could hear the panic in her voice.

"No!"

"Davina?" Kol called out worried. What if something had gotten into the house while he was out? How could he foolishly leave her alone in a house where any being out there could come and go as they pleased?

"No! Please! Stop it!"

Kol's hand flew to the door knob opening it with a hurried twist. He was greeted with by darkness and surprisingly an empty room. He searched each and every corner of the room and there was nothing not a soul.

"No Mo! Help!"

Kol turned at the sound of her cries to see her tossing in her bed covered in a soaking sweat. The covers where all in a jumbled mess and will a pillow in the floor. The lights in the room started flickering on and off as she continued to toss and turn. She was having a nightmare and a horrid one at that and it was having an effect on her magic. He walked over to the bed sitting down as he reached out placing a hand on her shoulder shaking her.

"Davina," He said softly as he didn't want to yell and frighten her more, but she didn't wake up as she cried out again.

"Stop! Let go of me! No!"

Kol placed both of his hand on each of her shoulder and shook her a little harder. "Davina wake up!" He said a little bit more loudly, but still he couldn't reach her. "You are safe Davina. Come on Love, all you have to do is open you eyes." He pushed back some of the hair that flew in her face as she was turning in her sleep. "Davina!"

She gasped as her eyes snapped opened and sat up in the bed with Kol's hands on her shoulders. She was breathing heavily with sweats rolling down her face as her wide eyes darted around trying to figure out where she was. Kol could feel her shaking underneath his fingers as her eyes made their way back to him.

"Kol?" She whispered her voice shaky as he sent her a small, but comforting smile as she sprang forward throwing her arms around his his shoulders burying her face into his neck as she let out a sigh of relief. He could hear her heartbeat racing into overdrive and he could tell how scared she was from whatever it was she saw. He placed a hand on to her head as his other arm wrapped around her arm back pulling her closer to him. He also didn't realize how much he missed her scent, that alluring smell of oranges, lavender, and apples, but it was all her.
