Davina gave off her own glint of mischief as he spoke . “ Why should you have all the fun ? I don’t mind getting a little bloody should they try anything against you or me . “ Despite new orleans being her home and being raised among the coven , it was never home to her . Her mother and older sister made sure of that before they died . “ Call it self defense .” After all , can’t get into trouble for defending yourself . She knew most viewed kol as a wild card . a monster . perhaps so , but he was he behaving … AND BESIDES , HE WAS HER MONSTER . 

    she didn’t mind letting him drink off her . he was always gentle with her and thus didn’t hurt much .  Giving him enough for him to sustain , although he will probably need more later . She felt her back against the wall as soon as she blinked . Her own body pressed against his . Eyes looked at his features. the veins under his eyes from feeding off her . the bite wound on her neck of her own blood tickled down .  “I love you .” She told him in a low voice . The feeling of loving him and being loved by him welled up in her, and she could taste the adrenaline in the back of his throat . 

𝐓𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐔𝐄 𝐋𝐀𝐏𝐒 𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐃 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐊 , soothing the wound with a gentle kiss . gaze locks onto her’s , a mixed look of desire and love evident . he knew they wouldn’t be opened for at least another hour and a half , and that no one would dare bother him at this time . he could certainly take his wife right here if he wanted . “ i love you . “ those three simple words he has only ever truly felt for this one girl . she was his saving grace , an angel sent to him if you may so believe .

easy to handle ; yeah, right. everything about kol just screamed “ no self-control “. so, of course, lexi could not help but softly laugh. the expression upon her face clearly gave her away. she obviously did not agree with him. lexi remained quiet, though. instead, she observed him as he poured the drink and tilted the glass back. the younger vampire mirrored his actions. eyes remained locked with his the entire time. “ bottoms up. “ she echoed back and poured the entire drink down her throat. she gently placed the empty cup down and slid it towards the mikaelson. silently asking him to refill her cup. “ we just met and you already think i would want to vervain you ? “ she asked him. her lips forming into a soft smile. “ — you got some serious trust issues, dude. “

𝐈𝐓 𝐓𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝐊𝐎𝐋 𝐍𝐎 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐀𝐓 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐓𝐎 𝐏𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐆𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒 , sliding it right back into her reach . he had no desire to converse about the human species with what seems to be a vampire with a guilty conscious about feeding on said immortals . a brow raises in question , shrugging as an answer . could you blame him ? thanks to nik mostly , there has been people after his family and himself for centuries . he’s even been killed twice and was not looking for a third . “ i don’t trust things or people i do not know . sounds like good advice , no ? “

aesthetic : nightmares he can’t wake up from with the wonder of who he is and where he comes from . leaving peers in the dark about how wicked he uses his magic for truly to find the answers he desires with the façade of innocence .

&.  →  MICHAEL EVANS BEHLING  :  CIS MALE  :  STARBOY BY THE WEEKND  ⸻ was that MADDOX ADLER walking around new orleans ? word around town is that the 25 year old WARLOCK is known to be RESOURCEFUL + SELF DESTRUCTIVE . let’s just hope they have prepared themselves for what is to come and survive .

the moment he mentioned hope, she felt her heart ache. she knew she should have immediately gone to hope but she was a wreck before, hell she still was but at least she could control herself when she wanted to now. ❝ what exactly do you mean? what has hope been up to?❞ her brow lifted, eyeing kol as worry began to fill her at the thought of what could be going on with her daughter. ❝ no, i haven’t seen anyone from the family since i’ve been back. and even on my worst day, i still look better than you.❞ the former hybrid teased back.

“ 𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐈𝐓'𝐒 𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐄𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐌𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐍 . let’s just say our favorite little mikaelson has switched the switch . “ kol will allow hope or someone else to fill in the rest of the blanks . brow raises at what he hopes wasn’t an insult . smirk forming , he looks down at himself before staring right back at his sister in law ( ? ) “ well i haven’t been home to have davina dress me lately , therefore i’m not looking as best as i could be . “ he teases right back , not truly bothered by the fact as he has had more pressing matters to attend to .

       “ Hope is practically a power house .” She agreed . “ Although given her emotional state , nothing to hold her back . Which isn’t a bad thing exactly . “ She mused over as smiled when kol started leaving trails of kisses on her neck . Enjoying the feeling and his touch noting that he was hungry .  “ Understandable . with the dead back we all have problems popping out . ” Davina wasn’t really a fan of elijah and by extension freya for what they did to her in the past . Although , she would tolerate them considering they were family now and funny enough it made klaus more likeable compared to them . “—Oh yeah? What do those duties tell you to do ?” She asked teasingly . Pushing him into the chair that was near them and sitting on his lap .  “ my duties as a wife and to please my husband in EVERY WAY  is also top priority above anything else . ” She did enjoy pleasing him. “— Feel free for a taste if you’re hungry, mr. mikaelson . ” 

josie was stunned, there were memories of stefan from when she was a little girl and any stories her mother had, old photos, the history of him from school. the brunette siphon stood silent a moment, in their world death never seemed permanent but other than shock, she could only wonder if her mother knew he was here. ❝ stefan..❞ she breathed. ❝ i- how i am is not important, how are y o u? are you feeling ok? do you need anything?.❞ maybe she was bombarding with questions, but she did that when she was nervous.

stefan chuckles , smiling down at the girl . she reminded him of caroline for sure . “ i’m feeling ... human . i’m fine josie , no need to worry about me . “ he stepped aside , moving in front of the girl a bit to order himself a coffee and them both a quick snack before paying . “ so tell me about this school , i assume my home isn’t the same as it was , right ? “ he didn’t mind , admiring the fact that alaric and caroline built a school for the ones he has always tried to help .

      “ Do be careful with them .” Being a one herself she knew how most could get .ESPECIALLY ROUND A MIKAELSON . “I’m hoping I’m your only favorite witch . “ Davina leaned into his touch without much thought . Green eyes looking into his as she gave him a small smile . It was funny how things turned out .  to find someone who can completely turn your world around . How she truly loved this man before her . “ I saw elijah . Have yet to see klaus if he was back or not … “ She thought about hope for a moment .” And any threat to you is a threat to me .” Of course , she also was dealing with witches she had killed and one as geting annoying enough . 

         “—Haven’t you heard ? You’re someone I just simply can’t get enough of and want more of you .” Davina lightly chuckled , putting the clipboard to the side . Her arms finding their way around his neck before kissing him once more before pulling slightly back to look at him . “ I know . You tell me and SHOW me .” She mischievously smiled at him in thought of those many ways . “—Not so fast there . I would also like to know what have you been up to .” After all , she didn’t want any secrets between them . “—But I’ve been studying your mother’s book of spells .” Her eyes glanced over the  grimoire he had been looking at when he came . “ also , not to sound any alarms but dead have been comin back . A lot of them ”

location :  night club . 

ft. @mystikcal​

       Davina didn’t mind doing Kol’s inventory for the club he decided to want to run . at times , she enjoyed it .running a successful night that many clearly enjoyed . That intoxicating primal need for others, to move and experience joy as one, separate and joined, that’s what the nightclub was all about. She was sitting on top of the bar counter as she went over the list when she felt kol come on . “–You know , I should at least get something in return for doing this for YOUR club, MR. MIKAELSON. ” She jested as looked up at her husband . 

perhaps if kai had been a normal person, he would have taken kol’s advice and left the premise. there laid the problem, though : kai was not a normal person. he was a SOCIOPATH. that aided in having no fear towards those threats. this fearlessness was all over his face as he replied. “ now that is not very nice. that temper is going to get you in trouble. “ a small pause as he took another sip from his drink. “ don’t make me leave a bad yelp review on this bar. i would hate to do that. “ 

𝐒𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂 𝐒𝐌𝐈𝐑𝐊 creeps up , fingertip tracing along the rim of his empty glass . “ are you offering me trouble ? i could be very interested and watching you bleed here on my floor . “ kol actually laughs at the failure of a threat . as if he would care about reviews to a place he knows will be packed full regardless . all it’ll do is keep the locals and the family tourists from coming in . what he has learned from the social media aged generation , is that everyone loves to see a disaster . “ please do , more food for me and my friends to enjoy . “

a playful roll was her simple response to her dear old best friend. she had always been a firm believer that stefan needed to let loose a little ( not ripper style ). he worried too much, so if lexi had to come and make him have some fun on their birthdays, then so be it. after clinking her shot glass to his, she tipped her head back and let the liquor roll down her throat. the vampire let out a laugh after she swallowed the rest of the tequila. “ come on, stefan, you know i could out drink you even when you were a vampire. “ she teased him. leaning forward as she began to pour them another round of shots. “ so, tell me ! how is it ? how does it feel to be — human again ? give me the details. “ 

𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐒 𝐑𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐒 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐀 𝐒𝐂𝐎𝐅𝐅 , nudging his friend with an arm , not being strong enough for it to budge much . how was it being human ? it was hell , humbling in a way he thought he wanted for all these years . he missed the thrill , also helps that he was much more helpful to others as an immortal being . “ it’s ... good . give me time to slow down and enjoy the things i won’t get to do forever . “ he knew if anyone better . lexi would see right through him . “ what do you plan on doing now that you’re back in the land of the living ? “

lexi could not stop the laugh that slipped past her lips at his threat. “ elder by age, young in mentality. “ she corrected kol. her eyes going down to the glass of tequila he had served her ; almost tempted to accept it completely. it had been a while since she had drank good tequila. however, she simply took the glass into her hand and swirled it around. “ kol mikaelson, am i right? “ lexi had heard the tales of the wildest, so she was disappointed in his behavior, but definitely not surprised. “ join me for the drink? it is good for stress. “ her lips twisted into the smallest of smiles. almost as if daring him to have this drink with her. 

𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐒 𝐅𝐔𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐃𝐄𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 , trying to read the young vampire . she was pretty , sharp tongue , much like his sister but without the bitchiness . he could very easily just reach over and sever her head clean off and be done with it , yet she amuses him . no surprise when she says his name , chuckling that she dares continue as if she doesn’t know how dangerous he could truly be at this moment . “ stress is a useless emotion , very easy for me to handle . well i been watching you this entire time so i know you didn’t spike my drink with vervain , plus even attempting would be stupid for two reasons on your part . i’ll accept , “ bringing around a glass for himself , he tilts the bottle , letting it pour into the twin glasses . “ bottoms up , “ tilting the glass back , he kept eye contact , daring her to keep speaking .

        “ Never think that .” Tatia hated it when they were called as such for what esther made them out to be . “ An abomination would indicate something to hate and something that should not exist . If you were not meant to be what you are , it would not be so . You should know you are perfect the way you are and what you are .  She does not deserve to be called a mother for seeing her children as monsters because of her own doings . Finn will always look for his esther’s good side . The moment he oppose her , finn would also been a target . Much like you and your siblings . “ 

       A sad truth but finn was completely for his mother which there was nothing wrong with it but in turn clouded his judgement against his family . Tatia smiled at his words regarding her feelings . “—It is a good thing you are not me , then . “ She lightly chuckled . “ I will be fine . Perhaps I am simply seeking closure . “ She added with a shrug as she playfully pinched his cheeks before releasing it .  “— Life is what we make of it , kol . I am happy you found someone to love and see eternity with . I would love to meet the girl who took a wily fox and made him fall in love .“ 

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄'𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐘 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐊𝐎𝐋 𝐖𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐓 with his feelings towards his family issues , but tatia was someone he could once run to when he needed to get away . surprised most of his peers that he never felt pulled to her attractiveness like his brothers . she was a friend , a mothering figure when he needed one . the only person who knew the real human kol mikaelson . he could keep the façade of innocent in her eyes until he was ready to reveal how wrong she is about him being a monster .

       Hope actually gave an amused smile at his words . Seeing right through her in a way but it was still funny . “–Well , I don’t feel the weight on my shoulder anymore . No feelings , remember . And honestly feel very … liberated . “ She looked over at the art . Even without much feelings she enjoyed it . “ Party , drink , do their favorite things , tik tok is quite popular . Get high and go to the aquarium . ” She chuckled . “–In the case of people like us , same thing plus murder , terrorizing , manipulating , compel , depending on who you are of course .  We can go to the fair that opened near the town line . I hear some vampires secretly run it . ” Another group like the one she had come across . 

it was a lot being back, granted it wasn’t in her hometown and was in new orleans. but she was still sucked back into that world. the brunette tucked some hair behind her ear, boot clad feet carrying her into the restaurant. ❝ what do you recommend?❞ she asked curiously, looking up at the person next to her. she had never really tried any new orleans cuisine. 

" 𝐀 𝐁𝐄𝐈𝐆𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐒 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐀𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐌𝐘 𝐆𝐎 𝐓𝐎 , new orleans is known well for them . “ stefan leans towards her a bit to speak softly . he turns his head just enough to get a good look at the young girl , recognizing her immediately . “ you sure have grown into quite a beautiful young lady josie . i just wish i was able to be around to watch you and your sister grow up . how are you ? “
