Chapter 11
Two weeks later
All was alright. Caroline was back to her old self and was now grieving her mom properly. Jo left the coffee shop taking a small sip. She knew it wasn't recommanded for the baby but she really missed coffee. And what Alaric doesn't know...
She stopped dead on her tracks. No, it couldn't be her. Before she could be sure, the woman disappeared from her sight. She dropped the coffee in the nearest bin. She needed to see her brother as soon as possible. She went in a dead end to not be bothered by anyone and closed her eyes focusing. She used her powers to locate his place and found it. She disappeared and went in front of his door. She rang the doorbell.
Kai : he opened the door Hi, sis.
Jo : I'm afraid I don't have good news.
Kai : he sighed Tell me.
Jo : I think I saw Cassandra.
A lot of different emotions showed on his face.
Bonnie : Who's Cassandra ?
They didn't hear her coming.
Jo : I'll let you two talk she left
Kai : Come in.
She went inside and he closed the door.
Kai : Coffee ?
Bonnie : Yeah.
He prepared some and they sat at the kitchen table.
Bonnie : Old flame ?
Kai : You're right.
Bonnie : Oh.
Kai : She also taught me a lot of black magic. She helped me going into darkness and I enjoyed that back then.
Bonnie : I see she got up and looked through the window
Kai : Are you jealous ?
Bonnie : Why would I be ?
Kai : he got up and hugged her from behind Maybe you like me.
Bonnie : Maybe.
Kai : You know I only have eyes for you.
She looked at her arms as he was creating shades of colors with his magic. It was passing through his hands.
Bonnie : You know...
Kai : What ?
Bonnie : You're getting good at this boyfriend thing she turned around
Kai : he smiled You called me boyfriend.
Bonnie : I did.
Kai : Girlfriend he kissed her
She wrapped her arms around his neck.
The next day
Kai left his classroom holding his book. He was done for the afternoon.
?: Hi, Kai.
He turned around to see a blonde woman in her forties.
?: Long time no see.
Kai : Cassandra.
Cassandra : she smiled In the flesh.
Kai : You changed.
Cassandra : And you didn't one bit. Perks of spending 18 years in a prison world.
Kai : I thought they would have killed you.
Cassandra : I ran and my coven protected me.
Kai : Then go back to it. I don't need you.
Cassandra : Oh c'mon. We could talk about good old times, even relieve some moments.
Kai : There's nothing good. I don't want this anymore.
Cassandra : she laughed You really think you changed ?
Kai : I know I did.
Cassandra : I know the witch you're seeing. Her type actually. Goodie goodie two shoes. How long until she realizes you're not worth it ? she added with a cruel smile Tic toc.
He walked away but her words were echoing in his head.
