A/N: I'm so sorry about the long wait. I honestly was beginning to just think I should tell you I wasn't gonna continue the story, but then I finally decided to finish what I started, so I put on some 90s grunge, and re-read some of the earlier chapters to get back in the mindset of Kai, and voila! Here's a new chapter after months and months of waiting. Thank you for being so patient. :D And as always, I do not own the rights to Vampire Diaries or it's characters. Again, I'm so sorry.
March 3rd, 1987
Kai and Jo were now fifteen, and in high school. It was a cold winter morning. There was melting snow on the ground, covered in dirty mostly at this point. The twins walked into the doors of the high school. Jo went over to Carolyn and Robert. Those two were the ones that could've gotten Kai and Jo in so much trouble back in kindergarten. Kai remembered it like it was yesterday:
Josette and Malachai Parker were playing with legos when Carolyn and Robert came over. "Are you really a witch?" Robert asked curiously.
Kai turned and said, "No. Now leave us alone."
"But why would-" Carolyn got cut off by Kai.
"She just finks she is. Now bye." Kai said rudely. And he wondered why he couldn't make any friends.
Then, Jo being Jo said, "Sorry 'bout him. He's mean. Stay and play wif us. I'll even show you my powers."
That's it, Kai wasn't letting her reveal her magic. He grabbed her arm and started to drain her magic. There, now she couldn't….oops. He realized that he just revealed the one thing they weren't supposed to reveal. Jo hissed in pain and pulled her arm out of Kai's grasp.
"Kai! That hurt." She whined.
Mrs. Williams came over to see why Jo was upset. She bent down to Jo's level and said sweetly, "What's wrong, sweetie?" She wasn't expecting the answer she got from the four kids.
Robbie answered casually, "He hurt her wif magic!"
Carolyn jumped in and added, "Yeah! His hand glowed and everything!"
Oh no. Kai and Jo would be in big trouble later. Luckily, Mrs. William didn't believe them or so they hoped.
"Are you okay now, Jo or do you wanna go down to nurse?" She asked.
Jo was fine now.
"No. I'm okay." Jo said.
Kai wanted to kill Carolyn and Robert. Didn't they know how much trouble he'd get in if his dad found out? No. They didn't. But he still wanted to kill them. He would try to one day when no one was watching. Oh, he'd certainly try, but not today. Today would be too obvious. He would wait until they didn't expect it. He smirked that evil smirk that would become a very familiar look on his face.
*Flashback over*
He decided today would be the day he got his revenge. He smirked. Then, Kai walked by Jo, bumping into her, "accidentally" stealing some of her magic. She winced in pain, but when asked by Carolyn and Rob she brushed it off. Though, both knew what happened, they just let it go since Jo obviously wanted to pretend it didn't just happen. The first bell rang, signaling that the teenagers needed to get to first period. The groups of kids all disbanded as they made their way to their first class.
Kai, Rob, Carolyn, and Jo all just so happened to have English first period, and their teacher: Mr. Harrio didn't ever arrive on time. So, Kai could get his revenge before Jo's magic left his body. The trio walked in, after Kai. Jo sat down. Kai turned around, stopped Rob and Carolyn in their tracks without any magic.
"What the hell, Malachai?" Rob said, pushing Kai back a few steps. Now people were watching, shit. He didn't think that part through. Okay, okay, he just won't use magic. Simple as that.
"Watch it, Rob." Kai barked.
"You're the one who stopped walking, dude, not me. So you should watch it." The taller, more threatening boy yelled.
Kai didn't like that he was being threatened, so he tried to punch Robert. Key word, tried, but Rob caught his right hand midair. He began to crush Kai's hand, which he knew would piss off Kai, it was as if Rob was saying "We both know you wanna use your sister's magic, so go ahead, do it. Use it, I dare you."
The young siphoning warlock noticed a pocket knife in a kid's pocket. It gave him an idea. "Motus."
Kids watched in amazement as the small knife flew across the room and right into Rob's arm, forcing him to let go of Kai's hand. Rob fell to the ground in pain. "What the hell, Parker?"
"Kai! Why did you do that?!" Both Carolyn and Jo asked/screamed at the same time. Everyone else just let the events before them unfold, too terrified to do anything else.
Except two emo-skater boys in the back. "Dude, that was so sick." One of them said.
"Yeah, you gotta teach us how to do that." The other agreed.
Most of the class just looked back at them, horrified. "Fuck off, assholes." Aaron said.
"Yeah, what he said, assholes." Ryan said, in agreement. The two of them became Kai's 'friends' or that's what they called themselves, but really they just his acquaintances for the rest of high school.
Day 6570 days or 18 years in the Prison World
Kai wished he had someone to talk to right about now. It was so lonely just sitting here in Portland all alone. He decided to take a drive to the nearest body of water. He put on Nirvana on the drive there. It was approximately two am when he left the house. By the time he got to ocean it was a little after three in the morning. He parked his car as close to the water as possible, and blasted the grunge music as loud as it would go. The music could be heard as Kai took off all his clothes. It's not like anybody is around to see him naked, so who really cared? He walked into the freezing ocean, his body began to shiver because of the temperature. He immediately regretted it, but kept going. Kai figured that he may as well just do it.
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
When he decided he was deep enough he dove into the water, head first. He stayed under, holding his breath until his body fell limp and floated back up to the surface. He was dead, temporarily, anyway.
Damn it, daddy, you really made this place suicide proof, didn't you? Kai thought when he woke up, frozen, wet, and naked on the shoreline. He realized that Nirvana was no longer playing, meaning his car battery was dead. "Damn everything!" Kai screamed as he stood up. He walked over to his car, opened the car door, grabbed a towel from the back seat, dried himself and put his clothes back on.
Then, he began walking to the nearest auto store to find a car and jumper cable. Once he found both things, he hijacked a car, and drove it back to the beach. By this time, it was the middle of the day. He jump started his own car and drove to a gas station to fill up on gas, before heading to Washington D.C.
Kai made a few pit stops along the way, but a few days later he finally made it to D.C. He broke into the oval office and took a picture of himself looking all J.F.K, but then he was like "W-wait. How am I gonna get these photos developed?" He planned on going to the museum...you know, the one that has an actual guillotine? Yeah, well, he wanted to try one more method to kill himself. He can't possibly live without a head right?
Then, he felt something….magic spread across the whole prison world. That couldn't be right, now could it? He was the only one here, right? Maybe he was, but not anymore. Kai felt something bubble up in inside him….hope? No. Wait. Yes, that's what it was….it was hope and happiness. He was gonna be free. Kai ran to his car to started driving south because he felt the magic come from the southwest.
As he got closer to Mystic Falls, he could feel the magic getting closer. It took him approximately three and a half hours. The sun was setting by the time he arrived in the small town. He saw a blue 1969 camaro at the Mystic Grill. The last time he was here, that car definitely was not there. So, he wasn't alone anymore. He smiled, happy for the first time in what felt like forever. He's finally gonna get outta this hell hole. Smells Like Teen Spirit was playing as he realized he had finally had some company.
Hello, hello, hello, how low? [x3]
Hello, hello, hello!
