Phoenix Rising

2:14: Death of a Lover

I walk into Davina's attic room with her at the church to see Josh is groaning in pain, recovering from Finn's spell as he sits on Davina's bed. "Well, you still don't look so good." I say. "Ugh, this is worse than the Halloween Hangover of 2011." Josh says and Davina and I both laugh. "I went after Aiden, didn't I?" He asks and we kneel down in front of him. "You know, he was up all day, all night with you until Marcel called and said that the spell was broken." Davina says, smiling and Josh shakes his head. "You guys totally saved my ass." He says and Davina and I both nod at him. "Don't mention it." Kol says, walking in as Davina and I stand up to look at him and he tosses Josh a blood bag. "There you go. A little go-juice. So, you should be, well, uh, going." Kol says as Josh catches it and stands up and I give a small laugh as Davina and I hug Josh. "Bye." She and I say at the same time and Josh walks past Kol, leaving. "So where were you yesterday?" Davina asks, crossing her arms at us. "The both of you." She says and I give a small laugh. "Well, you know, being a hero, saving the day, the usual." Kol says. "Ah. And you two didn't think I could help?" She asks. "You were helping Josh." I say. "You can't call me? It takes 10 seconds." She says and turns around to walk away from us. "Oh-ho, this is a right proper spat we're having? A besties fight? Well, maybe we can make it up to you." Kol says as she fixes her bed and we walk over to her. "By, uh, well... finishing a mystical dagger? What do you say?" He asks.

We're back at Kol's Playhouse, getting ready to do the spell as we set up ingredients while Kol is by a bunsen burner. "Are you ready?" He asks. "I don't know. We've never done this before, remember?" Davina asks, setting the ceramic bowl down as we walk over to Kol. "I've never actually completed the spell itself, but, then, I've never had an accomplice as powerful as the two of you." Kol says and walks over to the box to get the Dagger and turns back to smile at us and Davina and I both laugh as he walks back over to us. "So, let's do it, then." I say. "Let's do it." He says and we hold the Dagger over the bunsen burner and chant. "E loke gae la lidi. E loke gae la lidi. E loke gae la lidi. E loke gae la lidi. E loke gae la lidi. E loke gae la lidi. E loke gae la lidi. E loke gae la lidi. E loke gae la lidi. E loke gae la lidi." We chant and drop the Dagger as we see it's golden and I gently bend down to pick it up, admiring it as we all smile at each other. "I think it worked." Kol says and presses his soft lips against mine and I hand the Dagger to Davina and Kol and I start making out while Davina leaves to admire it and I see him gasping and his nose bleeds. "Kol, are you okay?" I ask, considered as he hunches over to touch the blood from his nose and I get him a tissue as he nods. "Kol, are you sure you're all right? Is it the curse again?" I ask and he turns around to smile at me. "I'm fine, darling. Oh, a spell like that takes his toll, doesn't it?" He asks and I give a small nod. "Tell Davina to keep that Dagger hidden. Because today, we've got a reason to celebrate." He says, walking over to me. "Davina is going with her boyfriend, Austin and you're going with me." He says, taking my hand gently and kisses the top of it. "Fine." I say, fake sighing and he playfully rolls his eyes at me. "But if there's music.. we're dancing." I say, trailing my fingers along his abdomen, slowly. "You are such a seducer, Adam Gilbert." He says and I give a small laugh.

I'm dressed in my favorite suit which is the maroon button up with a black tie and sleeves are rolled up at the moment and see Jackson put a necklace on Hayley. "Are you two insane? You're not supposed to see the bride before the wedding." I say as they both laugh at me and I wave at Hope as she's playing with her toys and look back to them. "Listen. I was going through some of our biological parents things and I found out they had this." I say, pulling out a small, sapphire peacock broach. "I guess this qualifies as something blue for your wedding. For Mom and Dad." I say and she wraps her arms around my neck, gently, hugging me. "Thank you so much. I really do love it." She says as I hug back and we release. "All right. Go kick some ass, sister." I say, kissing her cheek and leave.
