The 5 years old Elizabeth was crying, she had done something bad and her dad was mad at her. He called her a mean word, and it hurt because even at her age she understood it would never be the same.

Her dad would never call her his little princess anymore. She was scared of him, and she had never been sacred before of her own father.

But she didn't understand why something so bad could feel so good, when her hand started to glow red she felt powerful. It was like when she ate too much candy, magic tasted like candy for her and she loved it.

"Will you stop crying? It annoying and pathetic" muttered her older brother malachai, he was two years older than her.

Dad had moved her in kai room, he even took her bed and she put it in his room which she found boring and ugly. She took her teddy bear before Amanda could take it like most of her toys. And dad let her sister have her things because now that she was an abomination she doesn't deserve any toys. That what he told her.

"Daddy is mad at me. He called me an abomiactoon" she cried.

"abomination" he corrected rolling his eyes.

"that's a dirty word, I don't like it. I preferred when he calls me a princess"

"You'll get used to it"

Like he did, besides he was called all his life an abomination by his father. He didn't know anything else.

Her brother sacred her a little bit, he was a meanie to her and Amanda. He was only nice to Josette because they were twins. And twins were special in her family even if she didn't understand why. And dad told them he was dangerous, they couldn't touch him. So she never actually played with him.

"I don't want to" she yelled and then she cried "Ama took all my toys and your room is ugly! And boring! And now Ama told me were not friends anymore because I'm like you"

"I can be your friend" the seven years old proposed annoyed by her crying.

"But you're a meanie!"

"I can be nicer" he proposed " and you can draw something and we can hang it on the wall to make the room less boring"

Kai was nervous and afraid she would refuse or yell at him again when she stayed silent but she then she smiled lightly at him.

"Okay, but you have to draw with me"

"I don't like drawing" he protested.

"I don't care," she told him sassily then she went to jump on his bed happily feeling a little better "we can draw pink dragons, oh and flowers I love flowers. But we have to find glittery crayons or it would be boring. And a rainbow because it has a lot of colors!"

The boy already regretted his decision, he did not want glitters in his bedroom. But he didn't say anything happy that one of his siblings interacted normally with him. She wasn't afraid of him anymore because they were the same and the boy didn't felt lonely anymore.

"mala-Malachi-" she tried to say his name but had difficulties.

"You can call me Kai"

"Kai, the thingy I did with my hand why daddy was so mad? He said it was bad but it felt so good. I liked it"

The boy sighed knowing the feeling "I don't know but I also like it. A lot"

"I want more"

"You can't dad will be mad, he'll hurt you" mumbled the boy frightened.

"But why? Daddy is not supposed to hurt us. He loves us. You don't hurt people you love."

"Joshua doesn't love abominations"

Elizabeth woke up weak certainly because of the Vervain she was injected with. She was tied up to a chair, with ropes laced with Vervain. It was the second time she was in this situation and she was beginning to get pissed. She noticed her bother was on a bed, and was starting to wake up slowly.

"Rise and shine, you little weasel."

Kai raises his hand tries to use magic on Damon, but it has all drained away while he was sleeping, unfortunately.

"Oooh, trying to pop a blood vessel in my brain? Sorry. Not gonna work. Looks like all that magic you sucked up drained away while you were asleep, which is good for me. Don't worry, I know where you can get more. " he said to Kai then he turned to me with a warning look "And you have too much vervain in your system to use magic"

"Are you sure of that?" I challenged him.

Kai sits up and laughs, humorlessly "You really think I'm gonna trust you?"

"No. And I'm not gonna trust you. I just happen to need a magic siphon and you're two are the only game in town."

Kai looks down at Tyler who was unconscious on the ground and hops over him, off the bed, and said to Tyler "Hi." then turned to Damon with a smirk on his face "Let's discuss my fee"

Kai had managed to convince Damon to let me go because he wouldn't save Liz the Sherrif without me. We were a duo, it was either both of us or nothing. He also negotiated for the merge with JoJo to happen tonight.

When we arrived in the hospital room, I smiled excitedly at Caroline's mom. I had heard so much about her from Caroline, besides we have the same name. We had to be cool or I would be disappointed.

"Hey fellow Elizabeth," I tell her joyfully but then I frowned "You look awful" I commented truthfully, she was really tired from what I saw. I guess cancer was truly a bitch.

"Thank you" Liz answered sarcastically. "Your Caroline friend right? She told me about you"

"Aw she talks about me? Your daughter is awesome btw, means by the way. And she is like really hot you should be proud of her" I told her receiving a genuine smile. I turn to Kai "We need to save her, she has the same name as me so it would be like saving myself. And if I let her die it would be like killing myself" I finish dramatically.

Kai nods and washes his hands in the sink "All right. I need a 12-gauge needle, stat. I don't know what I'm gonna do with it, but I need it."

I chuckle "I think that may be my fault, I made him watch Grey anatomy. We love the scenes with blood and surgeries. It makes me want to be a doctor like my big sissie Jojo"

"Please you would be a horrible doctor Lizzie " He continued with a high pitched voice imitating me "oh no I have blood on my clothes" he put his hand on his foreground dramatically "its a nightmare and it smells so bad"

I smacked his chest and pouted "stop being mean"

Elena who was holding the sheriff's hands reassuringly snapped at us "You're not a doctor, so stop playing games. Because I am a vampire and I will rip your head off if you screw this up."

I bust out laughing having a hard time stopping myself. When I manage to stop laughing I tell her "Because you're a doctor? More like an intern...Yeah, I watch great anatomy and my sister is an actual doctor so I know my shit. Besides I'm also a vampire and... A witch." I turn to Kai smiling widely who is who had his hand up and I clap mine in his.

"Didn't we kidnapped her and tortured her? Now she thinks we are afraid of her this is hilarious" ask me, my brother, rhetorically, beaten giggles.

"Enough" ordered Damon harshly irritated by the pair who acted like children "Do your stupid little magic-suction trick and suck the magic out of her. Right now."

Kai smirked "I get what you two see in each other. It's very dys-FUN-ctional." He laughs "See what I did? Stressing the 'fun' in dysfunctional--"

I cut him off "More like pathetic, Elara needs to fix someone and dams needs a moral compass that is not very effective from what I heard..."

"Hey, you can't cut me off in a monologue like that it's a rude sissy" reprimanded me, Kai slightly irritated.

Liz let out an exhausted sigh "Just get on with it, Kai. Listening to you talk makes me wanna die."

Kai is amused "That's good."

"He has that effect on people" I add.

Kai puts one hand on Liz's arm, the other on her cheek, sucking the magic from her, Liz is in pain from the siphoning.

"Is it working?" Damon asks.

Elena shakes her head "I have no idea."

Jo comes in, sees Kai and Elizabeth making her stop in horror. "What the hell is going on? What are they doing here?"

Kai smiles at our sister, still siphoning from Liz "Hey, sis. Little busy. Be with you in a jiffy."

Jo turns to the doppelganger a frown on her face looking betrayed "Elena?"

"I'm gonna let Damon explain."

"There nothing to explain, it's quite obvious, " I tell them "They betrayed you to save their friend Jojo. I guess Elena thinks she can take your place at the hospital once you die in the merge. Because everybody knows you not ready..."

Damon takes Jo by the arms and leaves the room to talk, not before sending me an annoyed look.

"I'm staying with you," inform Elena looking at us.

Kai is still sucking magic from Liz, he finishes and pulls his hands away, flexing them. "There. All done."

"Sheriff, hey. How are you feeling? Are you okay?" asked Elena.

"Yeah. Yeah, I think so." Elena smiles and sighs, Liz starts having a heart attack panicking Elena. "Oh, my God. I think she's having a heart attack."

"Oh, that is so tragic. You know, 'cause you guys jumped through hoops to get the magic out of her system, but then her ticker's just not strong enough to take a little siphoning," explains Kai.

Elena looks at him desperately and orders "Kai, you have to fix this!"

"Aren't you the doctor?" I mocked her. "You should change your profession you suck at it"

Before leaving I mutter a healing spell, it would buy her few hours to say goodbye to Caroline at least. I didn't do it for those idiots but Caroline. She was a cool girl, and it cost me nothing. I didn't save her mother's life, because I couldn't magically cure cancer but I saved her for some time.

"What did you do?" yells Elena but I ignore her.

I smile at Liz and wave her goodbye "Bye Sherrif, I saved you some time to say bye to your hot daughter. Don't waste it"

Kai and I disappear and leaving Elena alone with Liz. Damon and Jo are still talking in another room.

"I can't merge tonight. I'm not ready," says Josette shaking her head. Everybody knew she wants ready, I guess Damon really didn't want her to stand in his friendship with Alaric. It was perfect for him in the end if Josette died in the merge. Well, he would only get him to hate him if Jo died after a stupid deal he made.

"You almost burned my house down. Don't you think I know that? Luckily for you, it's all be taken care of." says Damon.

"Damon, what the hell did you do?" asks Jo worriedly.

Damon opens his mouth to speak, but I break his neck. I and Kai appear visible in front of the Josette. "Magical neck-snap. Never gets old. Isn't this the part where you start running?" He asks her surprised.

"I've spent my entire life running from you. I'm not running anymore."

"Good these shoes are horrible for running"

Kai smirks grabs Jo's arm and we walk out.

Kai leads Jo to the center of the park "Look at those pretty planets, all twinkly and bright. Oh, Josette, you would not believe how sick I am of eclipses."

"Let's just get this over with," says Josette convinced.

Kai cuts his hand open "You know, if you think I didn't spend the last 18 years in solitary thinking about you screwed me over last time, you're wrong. So if this is just another setup, Lizzie will rip something out more important than a spleen. Like a tongue or a heart. So, any closing remarks?"

"You're a parasite. Both of you" spat Josette angrily "You killed the people I loved. You destroyed my life. Now I'm gonna destroy yours."

Jo holds out her hand for Kai to cut, Kai jerks it and cuts it. "I guess we'll see. Won't we?"

I kiss Kai on the cheek, even if I knew he would win I will still anxious "God luck dumbass even if you don't need it"

Kai smiles fondly at me and told me reassuringly "I always win"

Kai and Jo hold hands "Sanguinem desimilus, sanguinem generis fiantus. Sanguinem desimilus, sanguinem generis fiantus. Sanguinem desimilus, sanguinem generis fiantus."

They chant and their eyes start to look white like they are supposed to during the merge but suddenly Jo falls away and faints, and Luke walks around the corner.

"What the hell" I yell as Kai asks "What the hell did you just do?"

Luke smirks "Oh, I just gave my big sister a little magic knock on the head. But don't worry, she'll be fine. Because you're gonna merge with me."

Kai and I start laughing and he pats Luke on the cheek, Luke slaps away his hand and pushes Kai away. "Ohh, you wanna merge with me. I hate to break it to you, little brother, but we're not twins. All right, that's not how this is supposed to work."

"Gemini twins equal merge," I told him simply, there was no loophole.

"Well, that's true. But we share the same parents, the same bloodline, and thanks to your timeout in the magic penalty box, we're the same age. So it's definitely a Hail Mary and maybe it won't work. But I'd do anything to save my sister's life, so" Luke cuts his hand and tosses the knife on the ground " we're gonna give it the old college try."

Kai narrows his eyes at Luke and puts his hand up "Thanks, but I'm gonna pass."

"Phasmatos Motus Robix." Luke magically pulls Kai to him, holding his face with one hand, surprising me with his boldness "What's wrong? Are you afraid to play chicken with someone who might actually beat you?"

Kai shoves Luke's hand away "Fine" grabs Luke's cut hand.

"It's your funeral," I tell Luke smirking. There was no way he would win. Kai would win for sure, we always win.

Kai and Luke holds hands chanting "Sanguinem desimilus, sanguinem generis finantus. Sanguinem desimilus, sanguinem generis fiantus. Sanguinem desimilus, sanguinem generis fiantus. Sanguinem desimilus, sanguinem generis fiantus. Sanguinem desimilus, sanguinem generis fiantus."

Jo wakes up and yells her voice breaking "Luke, no!"

"It's too late, Jo," I told her and her face decomposed.

Luke and Kai's eyes both turn white "Sanguinem desimilus, sanguinem generis fiantus. Sanguinem desimilus, sanguinem generis fiantus." they both fall backward, unconscious.

I go to Kai's body, while Josette goes to Luke. I take his body in my arms, his head resting on my lap. I'm near tears, hating to see him like this even if I was sure he would take up soon, I smooth his hair reassuringly.

He suddenly gasps awake, making my worries disappear. I knew he would win, he was so strong. We both were, we survived our dad abuse and family mistreatment, and years of isolation without going completely mad. We were made stronger by our life.

Jo cries "Oh, my God. Luke. He's gone. He saved me and he's gone."

"You win some, you lose some," said Kai standing, grinning making Damon turn while Josette was holding Luke's dead body.

"Except for us, We always win. I told little Lucas it was his funeral but he didn't listen..." I finish looking at luke body sadly. It was a shame he had to die but there gotta be some collateral damages sometimes.

Damon moves toward us, but we disappear. Honesty I don't know what he wanted to accomplish considering Kai was now the leader. If he died so did the whole coven. Well, Damon didn't know that we planned on turning him into a heretic and in doing so killing all the coven...

"I always knew you would win, and I'm always right," I say enthusiastically when we arrived in the hotel room "So what do you want to do tomorrow on your last day as a human?" I ask him but he stays silent. Actually, he was silent the whole road here, which now that I think about it is odd. Kai was never silent "Kai, what's wrong?"

He turns to me and I can see tears falling down his face "I don't know..." he sobs "it hurts.. something went wrong with the merge. I feel horrible and those fluids won't stop coming out of my eyes"

"Oh, Kai you're crying it normal," I tell him however I knew it wasn't normal to him. I had never seen my brother cry. Actually, I had never seen him so vulnerable and I hated it.

"Make it stop" he shouts at me. "I hate feeling like this... I feel so..."

"Guilty" I finish for him. He must have got Luke's emotions in the merge and now he's feeling all I this at once it is overwhelm him.

I take him in my arms hugging him while he cries "sh..sh...sh it's going to be okay... I promise"

"Can you fix me?" he asks as he wipes off his tears "I don't want to feel guilty. And something wrong I don't want to kill anybody... It's not normal" he yells "You did psychology at college you know that stuff"

I sighed "Kai it's not that easy"

He nods and takes his phone "I googled how to process emotional pain, and they said if you write everything down in a letter and burn it, you'll be healed. Does that works ?" he asks me.

"It doesn't hurt to try," I said smiling reassuringly "I'll leave you to your letter, okay. You need to do that on your own but if you need my help, I'm always here for you..."

"Okay... I can do this"

When I leave the room I sighed. This was going to be difficult. I liked the idea that Kai would be forever at my side but now that he had new emotions I don't think he could bear with the guilt of killing our coven. Besides, we were supposed to leave, but now I think we would have stayed longer to make amends. I hated seeing him cry and didn't know what to do about it.

I call Klaus to tell him the unfortunate news, I had told him that tonight was the merge and that we would finally come back but he was going to be disappointed and well frustrated. It has been a few weeks after all since we left and he could barely function without me.

"How are the twins?" I ask as he picks up.

"Sleeping well, with their spelled stuffed animals"

"I'm a genius for using the spell"

"Yes, you are...So I'm guessing the merge happened tonight" when I stayed silent he asked unsurely afraid about my answer. "Did...Kai did he won?". It wasn't that he cared about Kai, but more about Elizabeth since he knew how much she loved her brother. He was even jealous of their bond, not knowing who she would choose between both of them if one day it came to it.

"Yeah he did"

"Wonderful, you can come back home. I bloody miss you. I can't wait to ravish you.."

"Hum as much as I would love that I can't now but soon I promise"

"What are you talking about?"

"It's just Kai cried-"

"Why in the bloody hell would he cry?"

"I think when he merged with Luke he also -"

He cut me off again confused "Wasn't his twin Josette?"

"So you listen to me..." I said with a smile "Yeah but Luke proposed himself up, there are not twins but technically they have the same age since the whole prison world thing. Tada Loophole...Anyway, he absorbed his emotions like guilt, empathy and now he's really not feeling well this is overwhelming for him. I never saw him cry and I don't know how to comfort him" I finished defeated.

"Are you telling me Kai never cried even as a child?"

"No after dad's punishments, he never cried, not even once...he was just so angry. I think the fact that since birth they never showed him any kind of affection or love messed him up...like a lot " I tell sadly "Anyway he's not changing into a heretic like me I don't think he will be able to bear the guilt right now... maybe later when he processes those new emotions..."

"What about your father? He's after our daughters and I was under the impression that he will die in this merging revenge quest"

"Well he was supposed to die when Kai was transformed but now I don't know... but he can't go after our daughters since Kai is now the leader, he is calling the shots... and I was thinking of letting him live a little, making him feel safe you know and then kill him in a gruesome way when he doesn't expect it..."

"I can always help you if you require it, I'm as evil as it gets" he proposed to her.

"Yeah I saw your evil plans in the first plan, I was literally one of your victims." I noted and continued cheerfully "Oh, I love it when you say things like that it turns me on," I said making him chuckle lightly over the phone. "Crap," I say when I heard Kai calling my name. "I have to leave you, Nick"

"Keep me updated, love"

"Of course"
