It takes TWO- Kolena

Chapter 16: Farewell to storyville

Elena was sitting in the Attic with Davina. She was scared still and Elena understood that. Marcel came back in with a box of things.

"Hey, D., how you feel? Got you some stuff... organic soap and scented candles, some incense. Just trying to help you get back to feeling, you know, yourself. Word on the street is, the witches are celebrating. 3 out of the 4 girls sacrificed in the harvest have come back. First, it was your friend Monique and then another girl, now you. What I hear, the others are saying that the ancestors were with them while they were... dead, you know, talking to them, teaching them. They say they're stronger than ever. Was it like that for you?" Marcel said/ asked.

"No" Davina answered. She looked so lost in thought like she was scared out of her mind.

"What was it like Davina" Elena asked. She kept her voice calm not trying to alarm her sister.

"There was nothing. It was cold, empty, and dark, and it went on forever." Davina said. That made Elena's heart break she hated that her sister had to go through that alone.

Marcel sat on the otherside of Davina and he said,"I'm sorry, D."

"I don't want to talk about it. Please, Marcel, don't make me." Davina said. Her voice was scared.

"You don't have to talk about it until you are ready or ever" Elena said. She knew what pain was like and that it was hard to talk about and she wasn't going to make her sister talk about it if she didn't want to.

Cami walked intot the attic Marcel had stepped out but Elena was still in there.

"Davina" Cami said. She walked over and hesitantly gave Davina a hug."Marcel told me you were up here do you want to tell me what happened"

Elena put her hand on Davina's shoulder and rubbed it."Only if your ready."

Davina nodded. Then she said."I died... And at first, I was alone, but then I heard them, voices whispering to me."

"Who" Cami asked.

"The ancestors. They're so angry with me.  I used my power against my own, and they said they'd do horrible things to me if I misuse my magic again." Davina said. She was so shooken up and was scared and all she wanted to do was cry but she knew she had to stay strong.

"Hey no one is going to hurt you" Elena said,

--

Davina was standing by the window Cami was pacing and Elena was sitting on the bed.

"I've studied the effects of trauma and abuse. The witches that forced you into that ritual, they've lied to you.- They hurt you." Cami said. Elena was getting irritated she hated that Cami was trying to use books to fix her sister.

"There's nothing you've studied in some book that can help me." Davina said. She knew that this went beyond that and it was only going to get worse.

"Ok. Forget the books. Let me tell you what I know from experience. When my brother died, I never thought I'd be ok again. I cried for weeks. I blamed myself. I blamed him, and then I realized all that sadness was swallowing me up, and I made a choice I wasn't going to let it. You can make that choice, Davina." Cami said.

"You say that like it's so simple, but the witches aren't just gonna let me go. They're not done with me." Davina said.

"No one can control you unless you let them."  Cami said. She wanted to help as much as she could.

"How do I even know who to trust? Should I trust Marcel? The first thing he did when I came back was try to use me again to help Rebekah. Be honest, Cami. Isn't there something you want, too?" Davina said. She only trusted one person and that was her sister."Only person i trust is sitting on the bed"

"Yeah. My Uncle is sick. I thought you could help him. That's not why I'm here. I care about you. I want to help you." Cami said.

"What can you do? When I came back, the voices I heard, they said the only ones who could help me are the witches, but after what I did to them, they hate me. So how can I go back and ask for their help now?" Davina said.

"I want to help i can help" Cami said.

Elena was getting tired of hereing this so she finally shouted."Please just shut the hell up don't compare this to losing your brother or saying you just want to help cause there is nothing that you can do to help"

Cami turned towards Elena"Excuse me"

Elena got out the bed and stood up."Your not helping your making matters worse i should know i've been in a similar situation through a sacrafice through people trying to control my life tell me i have to do this or do that or being angry with me for something i've done our mother killed herself i lost all my parents and most of my family and i can tell you right now none of that pain is compared to what she's feeling she doesn't have a choice because if she tries to do something else like your suggesting she's going to die because someone is going to kill her i am 7 months pregnant and my emotions are on haywire so i would appreaciate if you got your skinny little ass out of here before i do something that will really offend you"

Cami ran out leaving the sisters alone. After a few moments of silence Davina finally spoke up and said"Thank you"

"Your welcome any time" Elena smiled.

Elena was sitting outside the church when Rebekah sat next to her.

"I'm leaving for good i wanted to say goodbye" Rebekah said,

Elena turned towards her and asked,"What happened why are you leaving"

"I got on Nik's bad side its all or nothing i get to finally be free and i'm taking it i won't be back but take great care of that Angel of  yours when Kol gets back he will make a wonderful father i know he will and you are going to be a great mother tell her stories about her aunt Bex" Rebekah said. She knew that this was all she had she had to leave."Do me a favor if you do fall for my brother when he gets back make him work for it"

"Yes Mam" Elena smiled.

"Bye Elena" Rebekah said,

"Bye Rebekah" Elena said
