She didn't know who the male had been, but she could see in the way that he had been looking at her that there was nothing normal or clinically sane about him. He had appeared on edge , rigid, ready to attack any moment and she had felt something strong within her wanting to jump out and attack him. And it was as if someone had been reading her mind for there had been a hand on her shoulder , grasp tight as if to hold her back and it was probably the smartest thing to do in that moment . ' Why ? ' She hissed , hands clenched into fists as she had tried to calm herself down, trying to make it that she didn't level the abattoir in a single movement of her finger .
' does there have to be a reason ? ' the ripper had asked with a laugh , leaning forward to pluck the pocket square from elijahs pocket and wipe at the blood that had been around his mouth before putting it in the witches hand and moved over to Klaus. Eyes focused on the blood on the fabric, trying to keep from ripping him to pieces , trying to remember that she was no longer alone in this moment, that she had another living being inside of her . There had been a million questions she had wanted to ask, if her being pregnant was part of Klaus' bigger plan, if her being back in New Orleans served a bigger purpose . If Kaleb really had to die, and why she had felt angry and sad yet relieved at the same time . And that had caused massive guilt to flood through her .
' Don't worry , my goal wasn't to hurt you , love . I just need you for what is growing inside of you . ' Klaus had smirked , finger pointing to her and it was as if instinct had kicked in , Elijah stepping between the two , fangs bared in defense of the woman . ' you will not lay your hands on her , brother . her or her child . ' a mocking laugh had come from the hybrid , looking over at Stefan as if there had been a secret shared between the two of them , as if they had something to tell but had waited for the right time to tell it . ' Stefan wasn't the only one in San Fransisco with your loved one, Brother . ' Klaus tsked , laughing and licking his lips . ' The hybrid curse is broken , my werewolf side is no longer restrained . ' he didn't have to finish his sentence before fingers were digging into her stomach, head spinning as she pushed past Elijah .
' it's not Kalebs is it ? ' she asked , shaking her head in disgust and also in shame for what had happened . She didn't know how it had happened , if she was even aware of the circumstances, but when it came into the night that she had gotten pregnant , there was a bit of a blackness to it . The words had caused her to gag slightly , moving to the side as she removed the waste from her body into some plants that had been decorated against the wall of the courtyard . Davina wasn't the only person that had been rattled by this news , but the look of betrayal had hit Elijah hard and he wasn't sure who to trust but he had known that he felt anger. Anger towards his brother , towards Davina , towards the baby inside of her for being his brothers and not his own . ' you slept with him ? ' ' i didn't sleep with him ! ' she protested , and she could feel the weight of his glare down on her , and she had tried to tell him that it hadn't happened , that she would never hurt him like that .
Stefan laughed , moving to sit in a chair as he watched the exchange between the two . ' we got magical with it , Kaleb isn't a normal witch you see , so he is easily compelled . ' he smirked at the older Mikaelson , licking his lips as he had looked down at the witch . ' He is from a coven called the Gemini coven and he siphons, met this pesky one before, Kai. But he did some fertility spell on you . Pretty much a magical turkey baster . ' Stefans face definitely showed amusement, like he was proud of himself and Elijah couldn't help himself as he had moved forward to attack the Salvatore male , every urge to rip out his heart had been halted by the feel of teeth in his neck and then there was darkness .
*****************************
Davina had managed to get him into his room with the help of Rebekah, promising her that she would take care of him until the venom had faded from his system. She had argued that someone in her condition shouldn't be around someone who had been in his, and she had told her that she could handle anything that he had thrown at her, that she had been a witch carrying a hybrid baby inside of her and Klaus wouldn't let anything happen to his experiment. She had been sitting on the side of the bed , wiping sweat from his brow as he had murmured things under his breath and she had slowly fed him tea that would stabilize him until the venom had dissipated from him .
' This is such a mess . ' She had whispered to him , trying to figure out what to do when it came to the baby , when it came to Elijah. Part of her had wanted to run again , this time to a place where not even Stefan Salvatore would be able to find her and raise her child safely. ' Why didn't you just wait a little bit longer ? ' she had asked him , knowing very well that he wouldn't answer her, that he would not have any answers. Gia was his way of coping with her loss like Kaleb was her way of coping with the heartbreak . ' we could never actually get on the same page, and the second we are , well we find out that i'm carrying your brothers child . ' she laughed dryly, eyes tearing up as she wiped at her eyes , her hand moving to Elijahs and squeezing . ' I really should leave again , even though I love you and i don't want to be without you . '
' Then why are you leaving if you don't want to be without him? ' the voice had pulled her from her own thoughts , turning to see Cami walk into the room , prompting Davina to get up and hug her tightly , happy to see a familiar , friendly face . ' it's like a nuclear reaction when we are together , we won't be able to work . ' ' is that your fear speaking or is that what is actually happening ? ' the blonde had asked moving to sit down next to Davina, looking over at Elijah who had been comatose on the bed . ' you were gone, and even though he was with Gia, he had wanted nobody but you. You keep running every time he gets too close and it's like you don't want to be with him . ' ' Everyone I love dies , Cami . I can handle just about anything , but if he died became of me I don't know if i'd be able to handle it . ' Cami couldn't help but laugh at her words , not meaning to mock but also trying to get her point across . ' Davina , what do you think he feels every time you run away from him ? '
' I don't know! ' she calls out, licking her lips as she runs her fingers through her hair . ' it's like i have this obsessive compulsive need to keep the ball in my court and to never be disappointed . and i'm not afraid of him disappointing me , i am afraid that i'm going to disappoint him . '
