Kol lifted his head off the pillow wincing at the bright sunlight gleaming off the hardwood floors stretching his arms reaching over for Davina frowning as he found the bed cold. He turned over to find the bed empty and looked over wondering if she was in the bathroom but the door was opened and by the feel of the bed she had been gone awhile. He used his vampire hearing he searched the house picking up her heartbeat and it came from downstairs he got out of bed heading to take a quick shower before he went downstairs to see where his witch gotten off to.

Davina stared absently at the wall as she twirled her spoon around in her coffee. The dream was still fresh on her mind, well more like a warning than a dream, wondering what they were planning to do next. She tried to go back to sleep and couldn't so instead of tossing and turning and waking Kol up she decided to come downstairs getting her morning cup.

Freshly showered and dressed, Kol walked down the stairs in search of his witch as his nose was greeted by the scent of freshly brewed coffee knowing she was finishing her first cup or third. The girl could put the coffee away. However, when he walked in the kitchen he did not expect to see her sitting in a chair her legs curled up to her body staring into space with a blank look on her face and she yet hadn't noticed him entering the room. This was a big difference from the spunky girl he had come to know. Something was not right. He walked over to her side placing a hand on to her shoulder.

Davina jumped at the sudden touch nearly knocking over her mug. When she looked up to see it was only Kol she visibly relaxed.

"Are you okay?" He asked concerned as he moved around kneeling in front of her. He noticed her coffee mug was half drunk so some things were normal.

"Yeah I was just thinking about stuff," She answered nodding her head sending him a warm smile. Kol stared at her for a moment even though she smiled at him that spark in her eyes was missing. There was something wrong. In fact, her eyes looked tired. What had happened?

"Are you sure that all it is?" Kol questioned watching face very closely as her smile faded a bit as she looked away and he placed his fingers under her chin bring her eyes back to him. "Davina?"

"That is all," Davina answered closing her eyes as he cupped her cheek feeling the tension leaving her body. He realized that she was not going to tell him anything until she was ready to so he changed the subject.

"Want some more?" He asked as he walked over pouring himself a cup of coffee. She appeared at his side brushing her arm against him as she reached for the pot and he handed it to her. "Here you go."

"Thank you," She smiled placing it back when she had her fill and Kol felt his mouth go dry when he saw her wearing nothing but a t-shirt and there was something oddly familiar about it. Kol let her finish taking her enormous gulp of coffee then took the cup placing it on the counter placing his hands on her hips.

"Why didn't you wake me?" Kol asked wrapping his arms around her waist pulling her closer to him.

"You were sleeping peacefully," Davina told him laying her hands on his chest getting a whiff of his aftershave which was oddly comforting as well as being in the shell of his arms.
