Chapter 12

Flashback

It was a few months away from the merge. Jo felt nervous about it. She didn't want to die or kill her brother but it was getting closer and closer. She already talked to her father but he wouldn't listen. The Gemini coven came first. For the moment she studied to enter med school hoping she would be alive to try. She turned a corner holding her books. That was when she saw it. Her brother was holding a guy against a wall with magic.

Jo : Kai, what do you think you're doing ?!

Kai : Teaching this idiot a lesson.

Jo : Stop ! she touched his arm breaking his magic hold

The guy fell on the floor.

Jo : You won't remember she looked in his eyes and said an incantation

The guy left.

Kai : Nice work.

Jo : I can't tell you the same. What's wrong with you ? You can't use magic to hurt people.

Kai : Whatever.

Jo : You're such an idiot she walked away

?: They're holding you back.

He turned around to see a cute blonde who he supposed was his age.

?: I'm Cassandra by the way.

Kai : Malachai but call me Kai.

Cassandra : I saw what you did. You're talented.

Kai : Thanks.

Cassandra : I can teach you more if you want.

End of the flashback

Later

Kai : I saw Cassandra today.

Bonnie : Oh.

Kai : She made me realize something. Who am I kidding here ? I'm best at being evil.

Bonnie : What ?

He raised a hand and magically pulled her towards him then he put both hands around her neck and started to strangle her. She was trying to break free as her eyes showed fear, disappointment and sadness...

He wake up in a jolt and sat up. He look on his side. Bonnie was sleeping unharmed. His hands were shaking and his breath was uneven. He got up making sure not to wake her and went in the kitchen. He poured himself a glass of water and drank it slowly. It was just a dream but it felt so real. This scared him. He resisted the temptation to throw the glass against a wall.

A few days later

Bonnie dialed his number and waited.

'Hi, you reached my phone but I'm busy. Leave a message and I'll call you back'

Bonnie : Hey, it's your girlfriend if you still remember me. Look, you've been avoiding me and I don't know what's going on. It's awful because I'm imagining a lot of wrong things. I miss you. Please call me.

She ended the call and went back to the table she was with Elena and Caroline.

Elena : He didn't answer ?

Bonnie : she sighed No.

Elena : I'm sure there's a perfectly good explanation.

Bonnie : What do I pick between he's cheating on me with Cassandra or he's doing black magic again ? Maybe both.

Caroline : No, I don't think so.

They looked at her.

Caroline : I mean I don't know much about your story but I've seen the way he looks at you. The guy likes you.

Elena : I agree.

Bonnie : I'd just like to know what's up. Oh sorry, Care, we went out to change your ideas and all I'm talking about is my guy problems.

Caroline : On the contrary. Anything to take my mind off on how much I miss my mom or the bad stuff I did. Everyone's walking on eggshells around me. Even Stefan.

Bonnie : Sucks.

Caroline : And I know we shared more than just sex but yeah.

Elena : Awkward.
