E p i s o d e 11 P a r t 2

Aleksios P.O.V:

There are moments in life which you will remember forever, this is one of them. This moment. The one where I realise that there is a possibility that I may never see her again. Davina. That hit me hard, right in the heart. It caused me to nearly double over in pain.

So I do what I do best. I drank.

I once tried to drink the pain of Kol's death away, didn't work. But it did numb the pain for a while. She's not even dead yet and I'm in pain. How will I be when she's gone? I shut my eyes tightly as tears begins to cloud my vision and I gulp the drink in my hand down.

"What?" I asked rudely as I pick up my phone that's been ringing none stop since I left the compound.

"You need to get home. Now." My twin says urgently and I nod before realising he can't see me.

"Coming." I say with a sigh. I pay the bill and I speed home.

///

"Oh brother, where art thou?" I question with a giggle as I enter the compound.

"Are you drunk?" I hear my twin ask with slight amusement and I huff.

"No. Lightly buzzed." I say seriously with a small smile. I wish I was drunk though.

"No. No. No! Aleksios!" I hear Davina call in a panic. My eyes widen as I sober up and I speed towards her room.

I grab the person and I throw them out the door and over the balcony. I jump over the railing and I pin the person to the ground, my legs on both sides of its waist and my hand wrapped tightly around the throat.

"Give me one good reason I shouldn't kill you right now." I snarl out. The person struggles beneath me but I'm a hybrid so all I have to do, is tighten my grip.

"I'll do better. I'll give you two. One, I'm your sister. Two, I can't be killed. Well not permanently." I hear Bekah says and I calm down but confusion takes over.

"Wait, why was Davina yelling for me panicked?" I ask her in confusion and guilt takes over her face.

"I was going to sedate her." She says nervously. "It would have been for the best." She adds on wide eyes.

"If you try it again, I will not hesitate to snap your neck." I theaten as extremely strong winds starts to blow through the quarter but when it doesn't affect me, I know.

I speed up stairs and I wrap a terrified looking Davina in my arms and the winds die down.

"Thank you." She whispers in a broken tone.

"They're gonna do it aren't they? The harvest?" She asks me after a while in the same whisper and my heart hurts and I get a knot in my throat. I open my mouth but no words come out so I nod instead.

"I'm scared." She admits and I feel a tear drip on my shoulder and that's when I feel a tear roll down my cheek as well.

"Me too." I choke out in admission, finally finding my voice but it doesn't sound like me. It's broken and full of pain.

"Why?" She asks confused as she pulls back.

"You don't see it, do you love?" I ask her with a small sad smile. This girl is so blind but at the same time so perfect.

"See what?" She asks me again and I sigh, deciding to tell her.

"You, Davina Claire, are by far the most stubborn, strong willed, beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on. Your smile lights up my dark and twisted life, your pain makes me go blind with anger and the idea of losing you and never seeing you again is slowly but surely driving me out of my mind." I tell her softly and her eyes widen as she takes in what I said.

"I'll see you in a bit." I tell her as I hear my eldest brother call me. I speed down stairs to see the trio that's made out of Nik, Elijah and Marcel waiting for me in the study.

"You're doing it, aren't you?" I ask them, already knowing the answer.

"Yes. We are. Look, Lex it nee-" Elijah starts but my glare and words cuts him of.

"Spare me, Elijah. I know." I say softly and they all look at me in surprise, expecting something worse.

"You're just allowing this?" Marcel asks with a huff. "And I thought you actually cared."

"Wrong choice of words." I hear Nik mutter and I speed Marcel to a wall, hand around his throat.

"I do care! I care more than you know. I care more than I thought I could. You think if there was another way I would have let them do this? I would rather burn in hell for the rest of eternity if it means that she has a shot at the life she deserves but I can't. I wish I could stop this. But I can't." I tell him yelling but I end it in a whisper. I feel the tears rolling down my cheeks and I see him looking at me in disbelief and his eyes glistening with his own tears.

I let him go and I speed back upstairs. I wipe my cheeks and I compose myself before I enter the room again.

I see Davina staring outside her window, concentrating or thinking very hard.

"Penny for your thoughts?" I ask her and she looks at me with a smile that makes my heart beat faster, even in our current prediciment.

"You, actually." She admits with that adorable blush settling on her cheeks. Even now, pale and looking like she's caught a bad cold, she's still the most beautiful person I've ever seen.

"Oh?" I question, a little caught of guard by her honesty. Then again, she's never lied to me before. Not that I know off.

"About what you said." She says softly, almost as if she's scared I'll say I didn't mean any of it.

"What about it?" I question her, knowing exactly what she wants me to say but I want her to ask herself.

"Did you mean it?" She asks me in a whisper, looking me straight in the eyes.

"Yes." I tell her honestly and a grin takes over her face, one which I gladly return.

"You know, love, Marcel never used you." I say as the though occurs to me and her smile disappears.

"What?" She asks me confused.

"Marcel. He didn't use you. You may have given him an advantage over the witches but he never used you. And he does care." I tell her honestly.

"Why would you tell me this?" She asks me confused, again.

"Because you needed to know." I tell her and something comes into my mind.

"Can I try something?" I ask her and I walk towards her and she nods. I hear her heart start beating faster as I come closer to her. Mine does too.

"Can I kiss you?" I ask her in a whisper standing in front of her, our lips only inches apart. When she nods I put my hands on her neck and I place my lips on hers.

Her lips was soft and they fit perfectly with mine. A warm feeling that started in my chest started spreading throughout my entire body and I felt warm tingles everywhere and my knees went weak. My hands left her neck and wrapped themself around her waist, pulling her closer to me.

It was slow yet passionate. I was trying to put all the feelings I have for her into it, trying to show her what she means to me. How much she means to me.

I shivered lightly under her touch when she put her small hands on my shoulders for support. I could feel she was unsure and inexperienced as she carefully and slowly pressed her lips to mine but I didn't mind. Pulling away when we needed air I rested my forehead against hers. She looks at me with awe and flushed cheeks. I'm sure I mirror her. Our breaths mixed as we tried to calm down our breathing after that mind blowing kiss.

"I hope that this works because by God that was the best kiss I've ever had." I tell her softly and we both grin at one another.

Ahhhhh. They kissed!!!
