Young, Stupid and a Mikaelson (On Pause)

Chapter 18

 The rest of the night was uneventful. The next day I headed back to the church to see my favorite witch.

"Hey D, I got books!'

"Whatcha get me?" She asks putting down her pencil.

I plop down the books on one of her tables. "Well, I have The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Pride and Prejudice, my personal fav the Great Gatsby ..."

"Did you not get any books from this century?" She asks looking at the stack.

I giggle, "There is nothing wrong with the classics. Besides I met some of these people and they were really interesting people."

"So I have a present for you," Davina says heading over to the corner of the room. 

She pulls out a drawing. Nothing large but as I bring it closer, I see what she drew.

"I asked Marcel for a picture of you and you're family."

I look down at the drawing. "Is that based on the Christmas of 1914?"

"I think."

I look at the drawing. It was just Marcel, Bekah, Nik, myself, Kol and Elijah. "That was going to be my favorite holiday."

"Was?"

"A story for another time," I say trying not to bring up old memories. "How about tonight, I stay over and hang out with you? Doesn't that sound like fun?"

"Saf, what's up?"

I take a breath, "I got a call from one of my brothers. He needs my help on a project."

"But you just got back in town."

"I know. If he didn't sound desperate, I would never agree to go back and help him," I say.

"Do you have to though?" She complains. 

"I know, D. But my family is complicated. If I don't he will hunt me down and drag me back himself. I personally would rather go willing," I say grab one of the books I just brought.

"How long will it take?" She asks. I can see in her eyes how much she hopes I'll come back quickly. 

"I'll be back as soon as I can. Trust me," I say as she sits next to me. "I know I keep leaving you but I promise you I will be back."

"When do you have to leave?"

"I should leave by in five days, so I can make my ways there with some extra time," I say as I put my arm around her. "You know you can call me, D."

"I know, I just don't want to bother you when you're dealing with family."

"Well, until I have to leave, I'm going to spend all my time bothering you."

-------------

In my last hour of being in the city, I sat in Davina's room watching her draw a sunset. "When do you have to leave?"

"Less than an hour."

"Do you have to? Can't you leave tomorrow?" She asks as she starts to form a figure on the canvas.

"D, I have to. We've been over this." 

"I know, but.."

Before she finishes her statement, I look down at my watch and see the time. "Damn. 

"Don't tell me."

I stand up from her bed and hug her. "I'm sorry Davina, but I have to head out now. You were my last stop before I headed out of town."

"Please come back as soon as possible, Saf."

I nod my head as I break away from my hug. "Call me if you need anything, okay?"

"I will."

Sorry again for the short chapter, but next time we are back in Mystic Falls. Right now my plan is to try to finish this book with the end of season 4 of the TVD. Then my plan is to start the next book off with The Originals season 1. Yeah!
