ST ANNE'S

Davina is sketching with charcoal on her easel of Dove who's laying on the bed when Elijah arrives and leans against the doorway as he knocks on the door. Davina and Dove smiles at him as he holds up several pages of Esther's grimoire wrapped in a cloth

Elijah: I made you a promise.

Davina: [excited] Come in!

Dove leaps up off the bed and walks over

Elijah: Ah my sister and Hayley's mate.

Davina: Also mine

She wraps her around Dove's waist pulling her closer to her.

Dove spreads one of the pages of Esther's grimoire on her table and reads it. Elijah holds an elaborately woven knot of rope in his hands

Davina It's a spell of unknotting?

Elijah: [holds up the knot] This is a sanguinum knot. The witches use it as representational magic. If you can unknot this using that spell, you will have taken a step towards learning control. This is one of my mother's later spells. It requires much more power than you realize. Now, if you can perform this, then I shall return with another page.

He walks toward the door, then turns back to her

Elijah: A spell of your choosing, next time.

Elijah smiles at them warmly before he leaves. Davina looks at the spell and the knot on her table then to the blonde

Davina: Will you stay with me?

Dove: You know I will, babe

Davina smiles, kissing her on the side of the head.

Davina holds her hands over the knot and reads the incantation from the page. She's clearly unfamiliar with Latin and mispronounces the words

Davina: Phesmatos omnio legares coldate sangorium.

Davina stares at the knot, which doesn't move or change. She exhales in frustration and runs her hand through her hair before angrily hitting her easel

Dove snickers quietly, Davina glares at her

Davina: Stop laughing at me!

Dove: You're saying it wrong.

Davina: I don't know if I can do this, baby

Dove: You're Davina Claire, all powerful harvest girl who isn't afraid of anyone. You can definitely untie a piece of rope.

Davina: Well when you say it like that

Dove: I'm always right and you know it

Davina smiles, raising her eyebrow.

Dove: Besides you're saying it wrong

Davina: Since when do you know latin?

Dove: I know a lot of things.

Davina: You could've told me

Dove grabs her one of her hands in hers

Dove: We're say it together.

Davina and Dove: [whispers] Phesmatos omnio legares cordate...

Dove: Now you do it on your own.

Davina stares at the sanguinum knot on her vanity, and after a moment, she stands up and walks over to it. She picks up the knot with both hands and takes a breath before she begins the spell. This time, she recites it properly

Davina: [whispers] Phesmatos omnio legares cordate...

Dove rubs her hand up and down her back

Dove: Go on. I know you can do it.

Davina: Phesmatos omnio legares cordate sangorium.

The knot in Davina's hands floats in the air and begins to unknot itself.

The knot completely unravels itself in midair, and Davina smiles and giggles in happiness. She throws her arms around Dove's neck hugging her tightly

Dove: I knew you could do it

Davina: Yes you did.

She pulls away cupping her face brushing her hair out of her face tucking it behind her ears

Davina: Thank you.

Dove: For what?

Davina: For always believing in me when I don't believe in myself.

Dove smiles nuzzling into her chest, Davina smiles down at her pressing her lips to her head.

Davina: I love you, sugar

Dove: I love you too, Vina.

COMPOUND

Dove pops open a Kool Aid Jammer as Rebekah walks into her room

Dove: Hey Bekah. What are you doing here?

Rebekah smiles walking closer towards her, holding out her arms motioning for her, Dove smiles wrapping her arms around her waist and the blonde Original wraps her up in her tight hold.

Rebekah: I wanted to see you, Love. I'm disembarking a sinking ship.

Dove: You're leaving? How about one for the road?

She giggles holding up the Jammer, Rebekah chuckles

Rebekah: Stop being so adorable

Dove: Not possible.

They stare at each other for a long moment. Rebekah tucks a lock of Dove's hair behind her ear, then places her hand on her cheek rubbing her thumb over her face.

Dove: Say it.

Rebekah: I love you

Dove smiles, grabbing her by her shirt yanking her closer and smashes her lips against hers. Rebekah cups her face kissing her passionately, she grabs the helm of Dove's shirt lifting it over her head while Dove rips her shirt off

Rebekah lifts her up in her arms walking her to her bed and lays her down crawling on top of her, pressing their lips back together.

LATER

Dove is wearing only her shirt covering her panties, Rebekah walks up behind her wrapping her arms around her waist resting her chin on her shoulder

Rebekah: Mmm. I've been away from this home almost a hundred years, and you haven't changed a thing in my bedroom.

Dove(smiles): Guess I was holding out hope you was one of my mates. I remember seeing one of your paintings, I guess I had a crush on you

She turns her head over her shoulder and pecks her lips.

Rebekah: I'm honored, my love. I'm famished

She runs her tongue up her neck extending her fangs, looking into Dove's eyes who nods her head, brushing her hair away from her neck.

Rebekah sinks her fangs into her neck and begins drinking her blood.

Dove bites down on her lips while Rebekah moans in pleasure as Dove's blood slithers down her throat.

Rebekah: Come with me

Dove: Where would we go?

Rebekah: Anywhere you want. We'll build a great big mansion. We can leave this city behind.

Dove: I love this city but it was never my home. I don't know where I'm from or who my family was. Marcel found me abandoned at St Anne's when I was a baby. Took me in and raised me.

Rebekah: I'm so sorry that happened to you, darling.

Dove: Through he did find out who my father was years later or at least found out his name

Rebekah: What's his name?

Dove: Kai Parker
