It was morning when Damon, Bonnie, and I were walking through the woods. It was obvious Damon was happy because he was whistling and playing with a stick that he found on the ground a while ago. "You're in a good mood for the first time this decade," Bonnie said to Damon. "Stop that," I told him as he poked me with the stick. "Because I have a hot date with my girl tonight," Damon said to Bonnie.

"Yeah, assuming Kai's telling the truth," Bonnie said. Her saying that, reminded me of my conversation with Kai last night.


(Flashback)

Kai got up from his spot on the couch and came over to where I was sitting on a nearby chair. He knelt down in front of me, "You are that girl, Freya." "You expect me to believe that a group of witches told you that I was going to help you lead the Gemini Coven two years before I was born?" I asked in disbelief. "It's the truth," he said, simply. "How would they even know I was going to be born?"

"Strong enough magic can catch glimpses of the future, if a witch has the will to see it," he answered. "And they saw me helping you?" I asked. He nodded 'yes' in response. "So, what, you're saying that's my destiny? That I have no choice?" I asked angrily, standing up. "I didn't say that," he said, standing up as well.

"Then what are you saying?" I snapped. "I'm saying that everyone is fated for someone else," he said. "So, you're saying that I was made for you?" "Well I-, You see-, We're-," he stuttered. "You gonna finish any of those sentences?" I asked, annoyed.

"I-," he stuttered again. I looked at him with... concern? "I've never seen you like this. You're normally all mellow and have the answers to everything," I said. "Yeah, well, it's hard to explain this without making you angry. You having a short fuse doesn't really help," he said quietly, looking down at the floor. He looked uncomfortable. Nervous. Almost shy.

"Alright, if you tell me what you're trying to say, I promise I'll do everything I can not to lash out," I negotiated. "Okay. Well, it was seen that you and I would lead the Gemini Coven together. And not like other leaders where one is more powerful than the other. We would lead as equals," he said, slowly. I nodded my head, taking in what he just said. "So, my destiny was set out for me before I was even born?" I asked. Kai started to say something but stopped and just nodded.

I sighed and sat back down on the chair, "I've become my mother." "It's not as bad as it seems," he said. "Really? What am I suppose to tell my boyfriend, who I care about so much, when I get home?" I asked. He sighed and sat down in front of my feet. He took my hand and gave me a small smile, "Sorry, but that's something you have to do. As you can tell, I'm not really a people person."

I nodded my head in agreement and sighed. What am I suppose to tell Elijah? 'Hey, I'm back from the dead, but I found out that I'm suppose to be with another guy and help lead a coven of witches?' "I'm no expert, but you might want to put it a little nicer than that," Kai said. "I said that out loud didn't I?" I asked.

"Yep," he said, smiling at me. I let out a light chuckle, "You know, despite that you just threatened to kill two people I care very much about, you're not that bad"."I think that's the first compliment I've ever gotten. Possibly," he said. "And I would believe that," I said. "So, what are you thinking about everything?" he asked.

"I'm not saying I'm giving up anything. I just want to think about my destiny and my fate," I said, quietly. The last thing I need is for him to get mad at me. He nodded, "That's cool. I know it's a lot to take in, so think about it for as long as you need." "Thanks," I said. "You're welcome," he said before giving me a smile and leaving.


(Flashback over)

"I'm thinking dinner and a movie, you know what? Screw the dinner and a movie. Skip straight to the good part," Damon said. He poked me with the stick again and I jumped a bit. "Yeah. And assuming I can do the spell, which I won't know... until I see it," Bonnie said. I looked at her, "Whatever happened to hope, Bon? Remember when Damon and I were all like boo, grr-" "And you were like 'hooray, hooray. We're getting out of here?!" Damon finished in a high-pitched tone.

"Look, I want to go home more than anything but Kai's a sociopath, who's to say he won't screw us over?" Bonnie asked. Suddenly, Kai appeared out of nowhere, carrying an ax. "I heard my name. All good I hope," he said, smirking at us. He holds the Ascendant up and uses it the block the sun from his face, "The eclipse will happen directly overhead. In perfect alignment with the Gemini constellation. You need to dig into the tunnels," he explained, looking at Damon when he said the last part. "Why?" Bonnie asked.

Kai pauses for a moment before he speaks again. "Have you never portal-jumped through an eclipse before?" he asked her as if she was a young child. The three of us give him un-amused looks. "Okay look, the light of the eclipse will shine down and activate the Ascendant, you spout a little witchy woo and then poof!" he said, making an explosion gesture with his hands. "Anyone standing in the circle of light holding the Ascendant goes home."

"By 'witchy woo', I assume you mean the spell?" I asked him. "Uh-huh," he agreed. "Let me see it," Bonnie said. Kai pauses for a moment again before he replies to her, "When the time comes." He steps forward and pushes past us.

"Where are you going?" Damon asks him. "Into town. I need to... gather some important supplies," he answered before walking away, whistling like Damon had been earlier. Damon sighed and picked up the ax, then tossed the stick from earlier to the ground. We all share looks before Damon attacks the ground with the ax.
