"What? Elijah collapsed, too. What's going on?"

Something dawns on Davina just then, and she groans. "Ohh, I'm an idiot. The spell Finn used was to trap his brothers, which means...Kol is in trouble, too."

"What do we do?"

"Finn probably trapped them in a Chambre de Chasse, which means he's the only one that can release them," Davina sighs. "I just have to sit here and wait. Uselessly."

Finally, Klaus gasps awake, so Davina immediately turns to him. "What happened? Is Kol okay?"

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern," Klaus scoffs. "The same, however, can not be said for your friends and the people of the French Quarter. Now, I can stand here and explain to you the specifics, or you can halt your anger for just a moment and come with me."

Davina simply shrugs and grabs her coat from a nearby pew. "I'm the one who's been waiting for you to move your ass. Let's go." She brushes past Klaus, heading towards the compound, while he just chuckles before following her out.

They walk out onto the street, where there's a parade of marchers and people are scattered everywhere. Though, it looks like there's no blood being shed at the moment.

"Everything's fine out here," Davina murmurs in confusion. "Where are they?"

"You look around, I'll see if I can track them down."

When Klaus leaves, Davina glances around the crowd until she notices Kol across the street. Relieved to see him alive, she smiles rushes toward him, immediately kissing him as soon as she's within arm's reach. "I'm glad you're okay."

"Ah, you know me, Davina Claire. My charm can get me through any tricky situation," Kol smirks.

"I'm pretty sure your lack thereof is what gets you in those situations," she replies.

The next day, Davina suddenly wakes up and remembers that she's in Kol's playhouse. Anastasia and Kol were currently fiddling with a Bunsen burner when they notice she's awake.

"Ah, finally. You were a bit of a sleeping beauty over there," Kol smiles.

"As long as I wasn't drooling, I'll agree to that," Davina replies with a laugh. "So, what are you two doing?"

"Well, we are currently preparing the fire so we can heat up this dagger for the spell," Kol explains.

"And you're sure you know how to do this," Anastasia questions.

"Have a little faith, Ana," he smirks. "I've been planning this for over a century. You're not having second thoughts, are you? You were the one who wanted to get rid of the bastard without hurting your friends."

"I'm past second thoughts after the stunt he pulled with you yesterday," Anastasia states.

"Aw, that's so sweet," Davina remarks with a grin. "You've got a true friend here, Kol."

"Ah, seems I do," he chuckles. Davina's phone buzzes just then from across the room. "Your phone has been going off all morning, love. Might wanna check your messages."

Davina grabs her phone and sees numerous texts from Aiden that said Josh and Marcel were still missing. "Uh, Ana, do you have your phone?"

"No, I left it at Marcel's. Why?"
