Holding On To You

Chapter Twenty-Eight

Hello again!!! I hope you enjoyed the last chapter.

There may be some changes that people may like but also may not agree with so before you get upset this is your warning. I am not trying to be mean, but I know there are people who like things being a certain way.

I am so excited to bring you the chapter that inspired me to write this story and I hope you enjoy it. And warning the chapter will probably be a long one.

Davina let out the deep breath she was holding as she watched Kol flash over to the porch and hurried across the street for a place where she could get out of the public eye and wait for Kol to return and spotted a large tree that was in the shadow of the house and the glow of the surrounding streetlights made it even larger. She smiled to herself as she found the spot as she crouched down in the darkness, but she could still see Kol perfectly and apparently, Elena said something smart as his tone became thinner.

"The audacity of your attitude is not working in your favor," Kol glared into the phone. " And to answer your question about where I am..." Kol trailed off pushing the button sounding the doorbell. "I am right outside your door. If you want to talk a truce, open the door and invite me in." Kol waited the sighed. "Well, I'm waiting. Are you going to open the door to let me in or are you going to be wasting more of my time when I rather be elsewhere?" Kol questioned as he began to tap his foot before his head began to nod as apparently, Elena kept talking.

"Boy, that girl can talk," Davina muttered to herself and Kol turned around to look over his one shoulder and then the other his eyes searching until they landed on her and Davina knew that he had heard what she had said as he sent her a smirk before turning back to the door.

"On the contrary, I can't kill your brother with my own two hands," Kol tossed back into the phone. "Or I will suffer the Hunter's curse and really don't want to spend the next twenty years trying off myself in gruesome ways. Anyway, I am not here to kill Jeremy. I am here to talk about this truce you so oddly offered me which I will decline if you do not answer the door in the next two minutes. He's right you know," Kol said and a few seconds later the door opened revealing the girl that Davina recognized from that day at the batting cage.

"If I let you in, my brother goes," Elena stated seriously. "You are not getting near him."

"Fair enough," Kol agreed. "No gold medals for bravery, I see." He added and Davina could hear the smirk in his voice as he stepped inside. "Now that that's settled, this is where you offer me a drink so we can have a proper chat." After that was said, the door closed cutting Davina off of her view of Kol.

Davina heard hurried footprints on the grass and looked to see Jeremy coming from the front porch and slid around to the other side of the tree so he would not see her as he hurried down the sidewalk passing the tree as he went. She waited a few minutes before walking over to the sidewalk where she could still see his back rapidly retreating from her sight. Davina blinked as an idea came to her mind and looked back at the house her feet started to move on their own accord by taking her in the same direction Jeremy was already heading in. Since she had no idea how to approach him or even if she should, Davina muttered a tiny little spell on to the heel of her boots so that would not make a sound as she picked up her pace.

Davina had been following him for a few blocks before she ducked behind a large hedge watching through a hole and saw that Jeremy had turned around and was looking in different directions before shaking his head and pulled out his phone again for the tenth time.

"Bonnie," Jeremy said into the phone. You need to answer me." He ended the call and continued on his way and Davina waited a moment before resuming her task of following a few more blocks before looking at his phone and watched as his lip muttered as if he was reading something and his fingers swiped at his screen quickly before making another call. Davina tried to get a little bit closer so she could listen. She knew it was rude of her but she didn't care at the moment, because there was something up about this whole night and she was going to find out what it was even if she had to speak to Jeremy herself but didn't know how to approach him.
