A/N: Yeah, so I had no idea where I was going with this when I wrote it. Just that I had an idea, and I had to get it down. I blame Bonkai, always giving me ideas. Why are Katherine/Elijah in this? Well I was a bit late in shipping them to be honest. I noticed they had a strong parallel to Bonkai. Elijah being more like Bonnie -insanely loyal, used by those they care about, tries to see the best in others. Katherine is the obvious female version of Kai - due to their past, both are used to looking out for number one. Don't know how to cope with feelings or relationships , and strong manipulators.
Plus I always wanted to see Elijah/Bonnie friendship (they're so alike!), and Kat/Kai as friends (also alike.). There is also Liv/Bonnie/Tyler/Caroline/Matt friendship too, they will all be in this.
Chapters will be shorter for now, because I don't have time to write and edit really long chapters :/. Plus I have my other story Fascinare I need to update.
So please review and let me know if you want to see this continued. I do have some chapters for this, but will see how it goes.
Oh yeah, the titles will be based on songs that influenced the chapter. :)
Thanks For The Memories
Seven years since the day he had escaped his winter prison-world. The dimension that had been stuck in 1903- time frame. That was nothing, compared to his previous imprisonment. Gemini coven members were no strangers when it came to creating dimensions to entrap naughty villains such as himself.
He had been previously trapped in 1994 prison dimension for eighteen years of his life. Or so he had calculated, it could have been more. His family had trapped him after he had killed most of his siblings. He had missed his original targets, that had been his younger two siblings - Luke and Olivia.
After the eighteen years or more of being trapped there, his key to freedom had come in an unexpected surprise. Bonnie Bennett, the bane of his existence, had came into his life like a shining angel. Followed by her asshole friend; Damon Salvatore. Bonnie had been his key to getting out, as it took a Bennett witch's blood to make the ascendent for his prison world, work.
Of course she had not made it simple for him. His little angel had a devilish side, as she had tricked him and let out her friend Damon instead. He of course had found a way to get himself out. His sister Jo had stored her magic in a knife the day he murdered his siblings, and he had taken Bonnie's blood after he stabbed her. He had tried his best to convince her to join him in escape, but to no avail.
Once he got out, he had tried to finish what he had started eighteen years previously.
He had tried to to finish his two bratty twin siblings off when he had gotten out the prison. Unfortunately he had failed. The archaic act of merging - was when the Gemini coven twins would literally try and swallow the other one's being. They would kill them, and take what was left of their soul. Or so his childhood stories told him.
The stories had been right.
In another unexpected surprise, he had ended up merging with his younger brother Luke instead of his own twin Jo. He had tried to merge with Jo, but Luke had played hero and saved her. Then convinced him that it would be better for them to merge instead.
Well it had turned out to be a disaster. He had killed his little bro in the merge, and got his feelings as a consequence. As a sociopath, that had been pure-torture. Not to mention, he had gotten sick to the point he had to ask Jo to give him her magic. She had agreed, and he had become official leader of the Gemini coven . Ironic the one member of the coven they refused to acknowledge, now had their lives in his hands.
Of course, Kai Parker couldn't have nice things. He had tried to make it up to Bonnie when his new feelings emerged, consuming him. He had damn well saved her from killing herself in his prison world. He knew what it was like. He had tried to kill himself in multiple-excruciating- ways- when he was there. So he had helped Elena's little brat brother Jerome or something, save her. He had of course done all the work, almost dying in the process.
He thought they were cool when she got out, but no. Her useless-moronic friend Damon neglected to mention he had helped her. She was of course filled with hate and revenge. He had tried to make amends again, by agreeing to help her get Damon's Mommy out of 1903 prison world.
He had helped them, and they had left him there in yet another prison-world. Letting out a ripper that was a far worse psychopath than himself. He really didn't understand how they had endured so long, with their lack of brains. The fact they would let someone like Lilly Salvatore out over himself, a reformed psychopath that had killed less than ripper-Mommy.
At least he had only had to endure six months of 1903 dimension. Still, it had been far more torturous than 1994 lonely-prison. At least 1994 had been his home, and he had lived in that era pre-prison world. It had been a lot easier to live in. 1903 had been a barren cold land with little food or shelter.
There he had become what he is now, a witch-vampire hybrid known as heretic. Lilly's friends had all been this weird mix of hybrid. He had not even known it was possible, till they had bled him dry before killing him. Then turned him into a fellow heretic. They, like himself, had siphoning powers as a witch. He didn't get all the details, as they were not exactly the social type. All they would tell him was that they were the only one's of their kind. A rare witch-vampire breed. He just called himself witchpire, was easier to pronounce. He knew that in order to complete transition, he would have to die. As he was the Gemini coven leader, it meant the coven would die with him in order for him to turn into a vampire. He could not let that happen, seeing as he wanted to get revenge on his own terms. So he had whispered a spell after they had bitten him, to make sure he was disconnected from the coven for a short amount of time. It was a spell the coven had created in case of emergency, like their leader getting killed by a bunch of blood-thirsty heretics.
After that, they had explained things to him and asked him to join them. They wanted a leader, and he seemed to fit their bill.
Once they had established a sort of bond, they agreed they would all find a way to get out. Luckily with his intelligence and plotting, he remembered Bonnie's ancestors blood remained on the rock she had used to get out.
They had got out, and began their life as a strange coven of fellow beings.
He had originally planned to make the mystic falls gang and his family suffer, but he had decided he could do it later. He was more powerful than he had ever been in his life. He had instead moved him and his coven to California-Los Angeles, where they had now resided for seven years since their escape.
During his time, he had studied more ancient magic and the Gemini archive on prison worlds. After being through it himself, he wanted to release the other poor bastards stuck in them. Of course Gemini had only created the two he had been stuck in, the rest were created by over covens'. He considered it a nice little form of revenge, to unleash other prisoners on the world.
As usual, another surprise had hit him. This time it had been pleasant. In researching other prison worlds, he had found a vampire woman named Katherine Pierce. Whom just happened to hate the Mystic Falls gang as much as himself. She was the doppelganger of the Bonnie's boring gal pal Elena. Unlike Elena, she was as crafty and cunning as himself. He had gotten her out first, not caring as much about other prisoners. They had immediately clicked, forming a nice little companionship. Joining him and his witchpires in Los Angeles.
The monsters had become family, and found a home to reside in.
"Beautiful," Kai whispered, as he looked at the city.
He was viewing the skyscraper's of LA in his penthouse-sweet. Tall buildings, bright lights, and a glam-feel. He had chosen it based on many movies he had watched both inside, and outside the prison world. As well at the current celebrities he followed on the social-network known as twitter. He wished they had twitter back in 1994, when he was bored of puzzles and board games. He had always dreamed of going to LA when he was younger. Such a contrast to his small-boring- town of Oregon.
He would have gone when he was in 1994 dimension, but it didn't feel the same without any people around.
Now he had lived here for the last seven years, he appreciated it's beauty. It was amazing how the city was so chaotic and filled with so many people, yet he felt isolated looking out at it from his silent room. It felt good. The busy city that was constantly on speed, was a nice change from his two isolated prison worlds he had lived in.
He liked that if he needed his solitude, he could just survey the city from his quiet sound-proof room. Not to mention, the constant sweltering heat. After six months of living in snow and ice of 1903, it was a huge relief.
He continued to enjoy the view of the city through wide windows. Or least he was enjoying the view, till a the sound of loud knocking interrupted him. He sighed as he made his way to the door, adjusting his dark suit and white shirt he wore. He smiled upon seeing his charming companion.
The always-gorgeous Katherine Pierce. Elena's face with detailed make up, and bouncy rich-brown curls you wanted to run your fingers through. Her smile and eyes were as seductive as a Siren's. Even in casual black jeans and loose red shirt, she looked beautiful. She managed to make any outfit sexy. Then again, so could Bonnie.
He quickly closed his mind off to those thoughts. Not wanting to open Pandora's box, that contained the Bennett that had caused him so much misery.
"So handsome, you gonna stare at me like I'm dinner, or are we going to have some?" She smiled and held up a grocery bag.
He grinned and took it off her, gesturing for her to come in. She smiled back seductively, swaying her hips as she walked into his room. He couldn't help check out her ass, but then remembered they kept their relationship strictly professional.
"You need more furniture," she advised him. Gesturing to the very empty-room.
He never liked having a lot of stuff. Being stuck in a prison world where he had access to many shops to have whatever he wanted, had never satisfied him. He had lived alone for so long, moving from place to place; he never felt the need for it.
"Nah, I like it." He eyed his room proudly. It suited him just fine.
She rolled her eyes in response, as he took the paper-bag into the kitchen area. He placed it on his kitchen counter, looking unimpressed at the contents inside.
"Where are the tomatoes? " he gestured to the bag, that was filled with alcohol and a some uncooked pasta.
"Do you put tomatoes in it?" she looked utterly confused.
"How else can you make Bolognese sauce?" he bit back in annoyance.
She continued to look confused, which pissed him off even more. Her confused face would have been adorable, if he wasn't so hungry. He decided it wasn't worth arguing over. He was too damn starved for that. As he began to pour out all the contents with groans of annoyance. The woman could drink for England. There were three bottles of tequila in there, with hardly any vegetables. Did she expect him to make the sauce out of alcohol?
"Hey, I'm a vampire, remember? I have no need to cook. I just have my maid make the meals. I keep telling you to get one, why do you insist on cooking?" she eyed him curiously.
"Habit," he shrugged it off.
It really stemmed from childhood abuse from his father, that consisted of him starving little Kai for weeks on end. Jo would have to sneak him food when their father was out. He tried to push back those thoughts, before he considered finding and murdering his father at that very moment.
Katherine had taken a seat on the kitchen stool, and watched him with interest. As he began to get vegetables out of the fridge, before chopping them up.
"What is it?" he knew that mischievous look she had.
When her dark eyes would light up slightly, and a smile hinting amusement. It meant she had information he was not yet privy too.
"I guess I can let you in on my little secret, since I like you so much. If you promise to help me find Elijah and bring back my daughter," she demanded. Strong determination written all over face.
He should have known there would be a catch. He was still shocked to learn the woman even had a grown up daughter, that had died before she kicked the bucket. She gave a new definition to yummy-mommy.
"Fine, what is it?" he raised his eyebrow in question, trying not to look too interested.
He knew Katherine's game. She was assessing his reaction to her secret info she had yet to tell him. That way, she could bribe him for all he was worth. She still needed to learn, you couldn't con a conner. He was also a master of manipulation.
"Not the question you should be asking. Instead, ask who," she smiled in delight.
It was pissing him off, along with the added hunger.
""Fine Kat, who is it?" exasperation taking him over.
He was waiting for her reply. She continued to chew on her luscious lower lip, before smiling and answering his question.
"Bonnie Bennett, is here," she had the nerve to look happy about this news.
He dropped the knife he was holding. Just like that, it was like his world came crashing down on him, upon hearing that name. The one he had locked up in his cold-heart like a dark secret, never to be revealed again. Until this very moment.
