Almost is Never Enough

Regrets

Klaus
I stormed into the living room and pinned Kol against the wall.

“WHERE IS SHE?!” I yelled in his face. He stayed quiet and smirked in my face before answering me.

“I don’t know. I helped her leave and compelled someone to take her somewhere specific. She put a memory spell on both me and Davina so that the moment we walked into the compound, we forgot where I sent her. She’s gone, Nik. Let her be gone”.  After I heard that I got angry and pulled a dagger out and shoved it in his chest. Instead of falling asleep, or deadish, he… pulled the dagger out? What the bloody hell? Then he chuckled and threw it on the floor. 

“Remind me to thank Emma for putting that permanent protection spell on me. It even stops the affect of the daggers.” He says slightly chuckling. Emma did that? How strong is she? I looked at him, curiosity in my eyes, then I snapped his neck. 

“Freya, I'm sure you can do a locator spell to find my daughter?” I ask her, not moving my eyes from Kol’s limp body.

“Of course, brother” she responds and goes to move.

“It won’t work” I hear as Davina walks in. “ I put a cloaking spell on her. She wrote it, I just made some slight modifications to it to fit the situation. You can’t find her.” Hayley vamps to Davina and grabs her by the throat. 

“Where is my daughter Davina? Tell me before I rip your heart out.” She says letting her hybrid face show. Davina just laughs.

“Go ahead. Emma placed the same protection spell and memory spell on me that she did on Kol. We’re pretty much untouchable. You can rip my heart out and I’ll come back. Kill me. I dare you.” Quite the brave little witch. Hayley lets her go and she smirks, going to sit on the couch. Just then I hear Kol groan. Im about to snap his neck again when his phone rings. He answers it and it's a facetime call. 

“Hello, Little Angel. How are you, darling?” He says smiling, looking into the phone. 

“Im okay. Mark stopped at a gas station to get me some snacks and let me use the bathroom. That’s the driver, by the way. I just learned it 3 hours ago. I was about to go to sleep but I promised I would call you and Vina before I do. Where is she?” I hear a small and sleepy voice on the other end. Emma. 

“I'm right here, Munchkin” Davina moves behind Kol so Emma can see her. 

“Hi D! Did you get my presents? Did you give Bear his necklace yet?” Emma sounded so excited. 

Davina smiles and responds, “ I was just about to right now. You wanna tell him what it does?” she says, handing Kol a necklace. 

“It links us all together. That way, you will always know if I'm okay. And, you can see me through visions and stuff. I have one too.  Hold the pendant and think of me. That's all you have to do. And I made it so they only work for you and D. Nobody else can use them.” Kol smiles a genuine smile. How is he so close to her?

“ Thank you Angel, I love it” He says.

“You’re welcome. I picked out an angel wing because you always call me your little angel.” I hear. Kol smiles and so does Davina.

“ How close are you to wherever you're going, Munchkin?” Davina asks. 
“ Um….. Seeing as this is the first time we’ve stopped since we left and Mark is driving over a hundred miles per hour, maybe 5 more hours.” she says. Where is she going?

Hayley, apparently, could not contain herself any longer. She rushed forward, almost grabbing the phone away from Kol but he pulled back.

“Emma. Baby, where are you? Come home. Please” desperation clear in her voice. 

Silence. Did she hang up? She couldn’t have. Kol and Davina were still looking at the screen. 

“Goodnight, I love you” I hear. 

“Goodnight, Little Angel. I love you more.” Kol says smiling. Little Angel? Bear? They have nicknames for each other?

“Goodnight Vina, I love you.” Again with the nicknames!

“Goodnight munchkin, I love you right back.” Davina says.

“I'll call you guys when I get to where I’m going. I'll probably sleep the rest of the way. ”  Emma says. 

Kol and Davina nod.

“Bye Davina. Bye Kolwala Bear”. The line goes dead. Kol smiles contently until Hope speaks up.

“Kolwala Bear?” she asks amused. Kol’s smile drops and he looks at Hope with a blank expression.

“Yes. And Emma is the ONLY person who can call me that seeing as she’s the one that made it up. Don’t even think about using that nickname. None of you.” he says and storms upstairs.

I turn to Freya, “ Get to work on that locator spell and dont stop until you find her.” I say before walking out of the room to go paint. I want my daughter back and I will do whatever it takes to get her back. Even if I have to murder everyone in the bloody country.
