Aleksios P.O.V:

The female voice stops me in my tracks and I turn to her. My anger starts to dissapear as I look at the brunette beauty that holds my heart in her tiny hand. I see that Cami is standing behind her, and the it hit me. She called Davina when I sped Marcel downstairs, knowing that only the brunette could stop me in my rage filled mind.

"Just stop it." She says frustratedly and walk towards us. "What is going on?" She asks me and I cross my arms over my chest.

"Don't look at me. Ask him." I say, nodding to Marcel who has sped next to me while while she was walking towards us.

"Marcel?" She questions sharply.

He sighs before he answers. "I said that maybe you should go back to your coven." A small smile lights up her face and my stomach hits the ground. It dissapears when she sees the look on my face.

"Can you give us a minute. Please?" She questions Marcel and Cami. Cami quickly runs past Davina and towards Marcel. The young vampire then speeds both of them away.

"I know you don't want me to go back there, but they could help me." Davina tries to reason and I sigh. I stay quiet for a while before I say something.

"That's not what is about, love." I tell her softly, my heart stinging. Knowing what is about to happen.

"Then what is it about?" She questions confused.

"The witches hates my family. They think of us as unholy monster that has no souls. They will never except us." I gesture between us to show her what I mean. My stomach flutters at the thought of an us but I push it down. Realisation hits her and her eyes widen as she catches on to what I'm doing.

"You're the one that said you don't care what the witches thinks of you." She tells me, her voice shaky from the realisation.

"I don't." I tell her with a nod. I swallow down the emotions in me before I speak again, "But you? You are a witch, love. Don't get me wrong, it's one of the things that I love about you. Yes, I make a lot of threats about killing all of them and if I'm pushed far enough, I'll follow through on them. But this is who you are. You need them. I don't like the fact and I didn't want to admit it, but you do." I explain to her and a tear slips down my cheek.

"Love?" She questions me, her eyes wide. I'm confused for a second before I realise what she is talking about. I talk a step towards her and she does as well.

"Isn't it obvious?" I ask her in a whisper. By now we are close enough that our noses are almost touching. She's not that much shorter than me so I don't really have to look down to meet her eyes.

She shakes her head as a response to my question.

"Because of you, I laugh a little harder, kill a little less and smile a whole lot more. I love you, Davina Claire." I admit her softly and she sucks in a breath of air at my words but then she smiles. A big grin stretches across her face and before I could stop her, she grabs me by the neck and kisses me. It is hard, passionate and loving. All in one. I know I shouldn't but I couldn't help but kiss back. Everytime we kiss, I get caught up by everything Davina Claire. Her lips, her body, her scent. She overwhelms me in a way I never thought possible. But it's the best feeling that I have ever experienced and I would never give it up. My hands went to her waist and she wrapped her hands around my neck. I don't know how long we kissed but eventually we pulled away when Davina needed air. Our foreheads were resting against each other, both of us breathing heavily.

"Please don't leave me. Not again." She pleads and I shut my eyes tightly as I tighten my grip on her waist a little.

"I don't want to." I tell her honestly.

"Then don't. Tell the witches to shove it." She tells me, smiling as if it's the best idea she's ever had. "And if they try to keep us apart, I'll kill them." A dark look, that I don't like, passes on her face as she tells me and my eyebrows raised.

"How about you leave the killing to me, alright, love?" I tell her seriously. I don't want the darkness that comes with killing someone, near her.

"I can't make you a promise like that if I don't know what they are going to do." She tells me firmly. I sigh at her words but nod nevertheless. I take a deep breath before talking again, needing strength for my next words.

"I have to go." I say in a whisper and her eyes widen. Before I could pull out of our embrace, she talks again.

"Okay, you can go." The brunette beauty says and my heart stings at her words but I don't show it. Instead, I pull away and turn around before I loose my nerve and stay. "But first, I want to say something. If you want to leave after, I won't stop try to stop you anymore." I turn back to see her look nervous. I nod at her and I cross my arms over my chest and I look her in the eyes.

"When, uh," Davina started but cleared her throat and looked down. She takes a deep breath and looks me in the eyes once again. "When I died, I was lost and alone. It was cold and dark in the limbo. I knew the harvest worked because four witches was sent back, just not the right ones. While I was there, I promised myself two things: one, I would kiss you again." I smile at her words and she starts to walk to me and I don't stop her. She stops infront of me but doesn't speak.

"And the second thing?" I question her in a whisper, we are again close enough that if I bend down slightly, or she would lift her head, our lips would touch. My heart hammers in my chest, beating wildly, and so does hers.

"The second thing I promised myself is that when and if I came back, I would tell you that..." The witch takes another deep breath and says: "I love you, Aleksios Mikaelson."

And that was it.

Any thought I had of leaving, it all flew out the window. Along with the little control I had left.

I smashed my lips to hers, kissing her like there's no tomorrow.

Speeding home, I had a big grin on my face. I was so happy, I had my girl back and Elijah texted me to let me know that Rebekah is alive. Now, don't get me wrong, I am still very angry with her. It is going to take a lot of time for me to forgive her. But, eventually, I will. Arriving home, the compound is quiet. Unusually quiet. I speed upstairs to my brothers room to find him standing outside on his balcony, looking over the city. I speed next to him and when I see him, the smile falls of my face. My twin has silent tears running down his cheeks. Without a word, I pull him to me and I wrap my arms around him. He does the same and we stand there for a while and I comfort him.

Eventually, I pull away to go get dressed in my pajamas and then I'll go back. In my room, I see an envelope on my pillow. On the top it reads: 'Lex' It is the unmistakable handwriting of my sister.

After a few minutes of contemplating, I open it.

My dearest sister,

I know not to ask your forgiveness because you would not grant it. So, all I can do is apologize to you. I am truly sorry of what I've done. I was foolish and in love. I still am. You know it as well as I do. I also know that it is not an excuse for my actions but it is the best that I can give you.

Moving on to more pressing matters. Our brothers. Look after them, god knows they need it.

Now the thing that I really wanted to talk to you about. I guess this letter will have to do. Davina. Love is a special thing, a rare thing. You should know this more than anyone else, you've waited a thousand years. What you have with her, it is unique and you will never find it again. So, love her, cherish her, protect her and never let her go. It will be hard, this city has always had a darkness surrounding it, making it impossible for people here to be happy unless you fight for it. But from life experience, I know that no one will fight like you will.

You have a second chance with her. People don't get second chances once someone dies, but you did. She is your first love and you will always love her. Take it from a girl who has spent a thousand years falling in love.

All I've ever wanted was to be free and happy. Now I have the chance be so. I don't know when I'll see you again but I know I will. Whether it be a year from now or a thousand years from now. I know I will because we are family.

Always and Forever, right?

All my love,

Bekah.

A tear slips down my cheek as I finish the letter and I whisper into the night air.

"Be happy, little sister."

Here you go!! I was planing on having Lex walk away again but then I was like, 'they deserve to be together' so there you go. A happy ending.
