fuis avec moi

(            a small returning chapter ! i know i've been MIA for a while and I plan on trying to update this as much as possible !  )

The rest of the day seemed to be uneventful as she had laid down in his bed and curled up into herself, of course only after Davina had made a soft reply of okaywhen he had asked her to run away with him. Of course she had wanted to, of course she didn't want to stay in New Orleans but there were loose ends that would need tying up and she wasn't sure if she was ready to be tying them up. Not because she didn't want to but because she didn't know how to. But those were thoughts, natural instinct for her to take the easy road, to not spend too much time allowing herself to be happy and to cater to others that had been around her, those she had become acquainted to. Davina didn't sleep much that night and she was sure that Elijah had known but she had to think it through and when the sun finally started to disappear from through the curtains of his room she had finally dozed off and she was expecting him to wake her up, but he didn't.

She woke up later than she normally would the next, the clock showing a little past noon and she still didn't want to get up and socialize just yet, wanting to lay in his bed and just take in the scent of him that had been on his pillow. The petite witch had heard him walking to the room but didn't make a conscious effort to move from the bed as if she was pretending that she was going to get up but had only patted the spot next to her for him to sit down. Which he didn't, but she had expected, mainly because he was dressed and the suit was a staple. 

'so about last night. 'he started, tongue moving over his lower lip as his jaw tightens and she knows that he is going to ask her about Manosque once again and she knew what she was going to say, she knew what he was expecting her to say. Davina could see that he was trying to tighten up the mess that had unraveled last night and she could still just see the pain in him and the numbness that came with her own events, the things that she had lost over this overwhelming and never-ending stretch of time.

'  you don't have to say anything  .  '  her words are soft  ,  her eyes slightly puffed as she sat up among the blankets  ,  her hair a mess from her slumber  .  '  you asked me to go away with you , and i want to  .  '  and that was the honest truth  ,  that is exactly what she had wanted but she wasn't sure how to let go of the things that had tied her here  ,  but then again there was a lot that had her wanting to run  .  '  don't feel obligated . ' he replied  ,  knowing that his request had been one made during the trauma , during what she had went through and that she might not truly feel this way , the way that he wishes that she would .

   '  I think  ---  '  she started  ,  knees pulling to her chest as she looks down at the blankets on the bed  ,  chin rested on her knees as she watches as she traces shapes in the fabric  .  '  I think that it shouldn't be permanent . We go for a while , maybe a year or so and then we come back  .  '  it would give her enough time to heal , to let her heart and her body heal from the things she had suffered , from the trials and tribulations that she had been pushed through  . '  I will run away with you  .  '  

*****************************

There wasn't much of a conversation with anyone else about them leaving , about where they were off to but she was sure that once they had been declared missing that there would be a hunt out for them . Especially by Klaus . But they needed this , they needed this time to get their thoughts together , to be completely understanding of the things that the other had been through . Davina wasn't innocent and she wouldn't pretend that she was , and Elijah had a dark past to him . Davina wanted to unlock that door and to learn about him without him feeling ashamed , threatened .

The trip to Manosque had been pretty uneventful , the female resting her head against his shoulder and slowly drifting in and out of sleep and she can't help but wonder if she'd ever stop sleeping  .  But then she couldn't help but feel silly that she was so upset over the loss of a baby that she truly didn't want . But ultimately it was because she hadn't had the chance to make up her mind on what she had wanted but it was taken from her without a warning . It was something that she wasn't able to decide and she had this overwhelming need to take control back of her life and running away was exactly what she had needed .

They touched down and she had easily let him lead her off and he was careful not to touch her too roughly or anywhere that would cause her to flinch or pull away . He was handling her with kid gloves and she wants to push him away and tell him that she could do it herself but the emotions that had went through her right now made her need him more so she wouldn't protest too much  .  Manosque was supposed to be a beautiful place and she had ever intention of healing and falling in love with Elijah once again  ,  to face the struggles that came with it  .

One thing that she didn't expect was the arrival of a certain blonde in the area  ,  one who had been back in New Orleans but she had found a way to follow them to the city and Davina , as much as she cared about her , didn't want a chaperone for her and Elijah .

'  Now now , don't give me that look Davina  .  '  hands are crossed over her chest as she watches the two of them and the look of annoyance was evident on Elijahs features even though he's trying hard to pretend that it isn't there .

'  How nice of you to join us , Camille . I am sure my brother put you up to this , no doubt  .  '
