Chapter Six

The first couple things Elena noticed when she woke up was how hungry she was and that it was still dark out.

She had forgotten to feed yesterday so her throat felt like it was burning. Elena looked at the clock.

5:30AM

Elena groaned and dragged herself out of bed. She was wearing a black t-shirt that she had found in the guest closet. She figured it was either Damon or Stefans. She considered putting on her jeans but decided against it. She would be going back to sleep anyways.

She flicked on the kitchen light and walked down the stairs. She grabbed three blood bags.

As she flashed back up the stairs and began feeding on one of the bags she didn't notice the figure lurking in the distance.

"What are you doing?" Kai asked her, causing her to jump.

"Getting something to eat, want some?" Elena smirked, holding up the blood bag teasingly.

"I'll pass, thanks." Kai rolled his eyes with a grimace.

"What are you doing up so early?" Elena asked.

"Watching the sunrise." Kai shrugged.

"You watch the sunrise?" Elena couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't laugh at me." Kai scowled.

"I'm not." Elena said, trying to keep a straight face.

"Can I join you?" Elena asked after a couple of seconds.

"Sure." Kai shrugged.

Elena walked into the dining room and just as Kai was saying the sun was indeed rising.

She began feeding from the blood bag as Kai turned to her.

"Wow that's beautiful." Elena said, smiling.

"Yeah, beautiful." Kai agreed.

Elena turned to the side to see Kai staring at her.

"I was talking about the sunrise." Elena mumbled.

"I wasn't." Kai replied honestly.

Elena rolled her eyes.

"I'm going to go back to sleep." Elena said suddenly, getting up.

"How about we watch a movie?" Kai suggested, grabbing her arm and standing.

"You wanna watch a movie at 5:30 in the morning?" Elena chuckled.

"Well technically it's 5:37." Kai said, smirking.

"Sure, why not? Let's watch a movie." Elena said, rolling her eyes well walking over to the couch and sitting on it. The blood had woken her up more than she wanted.

Kai smirked in victory.

"What movie?" Elena asked.

"Anything you want." Kai said.

"Okay how about...The Lion King?" Elena said smiling.

"Absolutely not." Kai objected.

"What? Why not?" Elena narrowed her eyes and laughed.

"I don't watch anything animated." Kai dismissed.

"Have you ever watched it before?" Elena asked.

"No-" Kai started.

"Then how do you know that you wont like it? Do you even know what it's about?" Elena asked defensively.

"A lion who wants to be King." Kai said, smirking.

"That's it, now you have to watch it!"

"Nope. Not watching it." Kai said.

"Please." Elena begged, now she really wanted to watch it.

"No, 'Lena."

"Please." Elena whined, pouting.

"Nope. Bad little vampire, bad!" Kai scolded loudly as she tried to guilt trip him.

"Please Kai." Elena pouted, giving her best puppy dog eyes.

"Fine.. put on the damn movie." Kai snapped and glared at her but couldn't help but smile at the adorable brunette.

Elena smiled brightly and put in the movie before she sat down on the couch next to Kai.

She suddenly became very aware of the fact that she was only in a black oversized t-shirt that barely went below her mid thigh. She blushed and looked over at Kai who was staring at the screen.

"Are you seriously crying?" Kai chuckled.

God he hated this movie.

"It's sad!" Elena defended weakly, wiping away a tear.

"A lion died, big deal." Kai said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

"Whatever." Elena scoffed.

More than half way through the movie Elena had passed out.

Kai had finished the movie and he had to admit it wasn't that bad of a film, not that Elena needed to know that.

He sighed and looked at Elena. She was all curled up against him. He had to admit the little vampire was pretty damn adorable.

Kai stood up and easily picked up Elena bridal style, carrying her to a room.

He gently laid her down on the bed. He was about to turn around and leave when she gently gripped his arm.

"Stay.." She mumbled, her eyes fluttering opened and closed.

Kai smiled and laid down on the bed beside her. Elena snuggled closer to him and Kai sighed.

He put his arm around her and snuggled into her hair, kissing the top of her head.

"Goodnight Elena." Kai whispered.

Elena woke up for the second time that day feeling much better.

Her eyes fluttered open and she looked up to see Kai.

The memories of this morning came rushing back. They were watching a movie and she fell asleep. Kai must of carried her back to her room.

Had she asked him to stay with her again? She didn't remember.

Elena sighed and looked back up at Kai. He looked so peaceful when he was asleep.

"You know it's not polite to stare." Kai mumbled, making Elena jump a little.

"Sorry." Elena said softly but didn't stop.

"It's fine. I mean I can only imagine how hard it must be to not stare at my face. I mean, look at me." Kai said smirking, his eyes fully open now.

Elena rolled her eyes.

"So what do you want to do today?" Kai asked her as they both slowly sat up. Elena didn't want to admit how much she missed his warmth.

"I actually have a question." Elena said.

Kai nodded.

"Let's say metaphorically my house was burned down two years ago. It's technically 1994, right? So would it be there?"

Well Elena spoke she had gotten to her feet and raised her arms to put her long brown hair into a messy bun. She didn't notice how Kai's eyes shamelessly glanced over her exposed thighs.

"What?"

Elena glared and repeated herself.

Kai nodded. "It should be."

"Well I want to go visit it today." Elena said, smiling brightly.

"Have fun with that." Kai dismissed as he tore his eyes away from her body and slammed a pillow against his face.

"Will you come with me?" Elena suddenly asked as she flashed towards him and grabbed the pillow.

"Hi." Kai said as his eyes studied her face, breathless.

"Come with."

"Why?" Kai chuckled.

"I just don't want to go alone." Elena shrugged.

"Sure, why not. I have nothing better to do." Kai said, smirking.

"Great! Just let me take a shower and get dressed." Elena said happily.

"Ready?" Kai asked.

Elena was about to respond before she felt a weird chill go through her whole body making her take a sharp intake of breath.

Elena

She heard a familiar voice whisper her name as she shivered.

Elena!" Kai snapped her out of it.

"What?" Elena asked, dazed

"You spaced out for a minute." Kai said, sounding a bit concerned.

"I just got this weird chill." Elena gulped.

Kai nodded, looking unconvinced.

"Lets go." She said, ignoring the fact that she thought she heard someone whisper her name. It was almost like she could feel someone else's spirit go through her.

Elena shrugged, maybe she just needed some fresh air.

When they arrived at Elena's house she could only stare in shock.

She missed it. She still couldn't believe that she had burned it down just because it had one bad memory. What about all the good ones?

Her parents, all those times with Stefan and Damon, all her memories over the years with Care and Bonnie. She had literally burned them all.

"Nice house." Kai commented, walking inside with Elena next to him.

"Yeah. It is." Elena said, smiling.

Elena looked up at Kai who was now heading up the stairs.

"Where are you going?" Elena sighed.

"Upstairs." Kai said shortly.

Elena sighed and followed him.

She looked around but couldn't spot Kai. When she reached the top of the stairs she sighed and walked into her room.

"Of course you would go into my room." Elena muttered out.

"Technically it's your future room." Kai pointed out cheekily.

Elena let out a sigh mixed with a light chuckle.

Kai plopped down on the bed.

"Get off my bed." Elena snapped, rolling her eyes.

"Future bed." He sung. Elena glared.

"Why don't you join me?" Kai suggested, scooting over to the other side and motioning for her to sit down.

Elena sighed and sat down on the bed, leaning down towards the headboard.

"I really miss this house." Elena mumbled as she gazed around the room. Even though it didnt have any of her stuff it was still hers.

"If you like it so much why did you burn it down?" Kai chuckled.

"No humanity Elena had a different opinion." Elena mumbled, numb.

Kai smiled and sighed. "I should've burned my house down with my family in it."

"Do I even need to list off the things wrong with that sentence Kai?"

"Oh come on, haven't you ever wanted to kill anyone?"

Elena started listing of names in her head.

Katherine, Klaus, Kol, Finn, Connor, the travelers, Silas, Markos. She even wanted to kill Damon and Stefan more than once.

"Everyone that I have ever killed or wanted to kill I did for good reasons. They were either trying to hurt me or the people that I care about."

"Well my father and sister trapped me in this prison world and that hurt me Elena. Sooo technically I had just as good of a reason as you did." Kai responded.

"They wouldn't of locked you in here if you wouldn't of started killing off your siblings." Elena scoffed. "And other people you refuse to tell me about."

"If I wouldn't of killed them they would have did the merge and one of them would have become the leader of the Gemini Coven." Kai said in an annoyed tone.

"So what? Who cares? Is it really that important." Elena groaned. Why didn't he understand that power doesn't equal happiness.

"Yes." Kai nodded with a serious look on his face and Elena rolled her eyes.

"You said you killed all of your siblings except a few? Why did didn't you kill them all?" Elena asked curiously.

"Well I needed my twin sister to merge with me so I couldn't kill her. And the other set of twins Olivia and Lukas were protected by her magic. She hid them from me." Kai said, annoyed.

"Olivia and Lukas? Why do those names ring a bell?" Elena asked, trying to think.

Kai shrugged and didn't look the slightest bit curious.

Elena's eyes widened.

"Kai what's your last name?"

"Parker. Why?"

"Liv and Luke Parker?" Elena yelled in disbelief.

"You know my siblings? Go figure." Kai laughed.

"They're twins. Same last name. Why didn't I figure this out before?" Elena whispered to herself.

"How are my little siblings doing these days?" Kai asked in a bored tone. "God they were always so annoying."

"Well your sister stopped the spell to bring everyone back to life early. That's why I'm dead. Plus she has tried to kill me at least twice. Oh and then my friend Caroline killed Luke- but he's alive now.. I'm pretty sure." Elena mumbled.

"Like brother like sister." Kai mumbled.

Elena glared at him.

"Have they merged yet?" Kai asked curiously.

"I don't think so but I don't really know." Elena shrugged.

"How old are they?" Kai asked

"I don't know 20? 21? I think." Elena replied.

"Well they can merge when they turn 22." Kai informed her.

"So when they Merge either Luke or Liv will die?" Elena said more as a statement then a question.

"Yeah. Sucks to be them, huh? Who do you think would win?" Kai asked her, staring at her.

Elena sighed. "I think Luke is more powerful than Liv." She admitted.

Kai nodded slowly, deep in thought.

"I wonder if you know my twin sister as well, Josette, Josie, maybe even Jo?" Kai asked her, his curiosity raising.

"No, the name doesn't ring a bell." Elena said, trying to think if she had ever heard that name.

"I'm guessing you're going to stay here now?" Kai asked her with disappointment haunting his tone.

"I haven't really thought about it." Elena said honestly.

"Well you know you could, far away from anyone.. far away from me." Kai shrugged as he got off the bed.

Kai was giving her an out but did she really want to stay here alone?

A little voice in the back of her head was screaming 'yes stay here far away from the psychopath who may to kill you' but she ignored it.

"I think it would be better for me to stay at the Salvatore House just in case Bonnie or Damon try to bring me back or make contact. That's the place they'll know I'll be."

Kai smiled brightly. "Sounds good to me."

Elena nodded and laid down on the bed and stared at the ceiling. She shut her eyes as she felt the bed move.

Kai laid down next to her and smiled.

Elena sighed and opened her eyes, turning towards Kai who was smirking at her.

She rolled her eyes but couldn't help the slight twitch of her lip.

"Why are you staring at me Kai?" Elena mumbled.

"I'm admiring the scenery." Kai mumbled back, smirking.

Elena rolled her eyes and flipped over so she was laying on her arm, looking back at Kai.

Kai scooted closer to Elena, his eyes never leaving hers.

Elena let out a shaky breath and flipped over so she was lying on her back.

"Why do do that?" Kai asked.

"Do what?" Elena sighed.

"Turn away? Walk away? Avoid me?" Kai asked her. "Avoid the truth."

"And what truth would that be?" Elena asked, turning her head towards Kai.

"That you like me." Kai said, confidently smirking.

"What are you six?" Elena chuckled.

"No I'm eight but that's not the point- the point is that you like me and are afraid to admit it to yourself." Kai told her, smiling.

"Will you keep your delusional thoughts to yourself please." Elena muttered out through clenched teeth, no anger, just annoyance.

"They are not delusional if it's true. You did kiss me." Kai pointed out, rolling his eyes at the brunette vampire lying next to him.

"You kissed me!" Elena yelled, sitting up.

Okay, now she was angry.

"But you kissed back." Kai said, smirking.

Elena sighed loudly, laid back down and closed her eyes. When she re-opened them a couple seconds later Kai was leaning over her.

"What are you doing now?" Elena groaned.

"Just testing a theory." Kai mumbled, staring into her eyes.

"And what theory would that be?" Elena whispered back as she gulped.

"That you like me." Kai whispered to her.

"I do not like y-" Elena started to object but was immediately cut of by Kai's lips pressing to her's. Elena's eyes went wide in surprise.

Kai's hands moved up until they were lost in the softness of Elena's curls. Kai could feel Elena's resistance but it was quickly fading away.

He pressed himself against her a little more and Elena's lips parted as she let out a gasp of surprise. Elena then realized that nothing was going to stop her from giving in and kissing him back.

His tongue swept across Elena's and she let out a moan of pleasure into his mouth.

Elena felt Kai grabbing onto her waist bringing her closer to him.

Elena returned to kiss. She was completely lost in the feeling of his lips. She moved her hands down his sides and clenched the material of his shirt. The kiss was gentle yet just as passionate as every other one they shared.

She ran her tongue along Kai's bottom lip making Kai groan. After a couple second's Kai was the one to pull back for air. He stared down and Elena's flushed face. She had momentarily forgotten that Kai needed air.

"See... I told you you liked me." Kai mumbled, smirking.

Elena just stared up at him, her eyes widened and her mouth slightly parted. She was already missing Kai's lips on hers.

"But don't worry I like you too.. and it's weird because I'm supposed to be an insane psychopath with no human emotions but for some reason I like you my little vampire."

Elena took in a shaky breath as Kai touched her cheek.

"Deny it all you want but I know you like me too Elena."
