“if i thought seeking outside help to handle a conflict with my brother would work, i would have done it already.” the and asked someone a lot more useful than you was implied. “unfortunately for you, it takes a bit more than a benevolent universe to earn being under my protection,” elijah replied. he wondered just how desperate kai was to be under his protection. additionally, he was curious as to what the young witch had done to provoke the ire of the original werewolves. in fact, perhaps he could pretend to take kai under his protection only to deliver him to the wolves when the time was right. that was one solid action he could take to earn their trust, so when the time came, when he suggested they run, they may listen. elijah was well aware just how benevolent the universe would have to be for that plan to turn out in his favor. he could certainly throw kai much farther than he could trust him. 

“I mean, don’t get me wrong, your brother knows how to put on a show. It’s the whole reason I’m here, actually.” He might not experience a thing like empathy, but he could relate to Klaus. The power hunger, the melodrama, putting their siblings in wooden boxes, though they stayed dead in Kai’s case. “Dang it. You’re not actually going to make me work for this, are you?” Kai didn’t trust Elijah almost as much as Elijah couldn’t place his trust in him. Anything he gathered about the Mikaelson mostly consisted of Elijah’s self-righteous behavior and the ability to protect family at all costs no matter how many times they hurt each other. Even if that required leading what the original werewolves considered a thorn in their side to the slaughter to guarantee peace. Peace...it never existed. “We all want the same thing here. Protecting our brothers from doing something very stupid.” The lie tasted sour on his tongue. “Something dangerous. Mine has to face who he is too.”

        he couldn’t imagine how he looked right now, but judging by the momentary look of surprise that touched kai’s face, he figured he didn’t have his usual annoyance at the other’s appearance. luca couldn’t quite muster the strength to do so, he was riding a high right now, and apparently not even his appearance was going to bring him down. he followed the siphoner’s gaze to charlie’s body, and once again found himself smiling at the relief that continued to radiate through him at the image. it was twisted, dark, but that was always in him, and as much as he hadn’t wanted to admit it, kai had been right about that. 

luca naturally presumed that, just like always, the other would ignore him, but for whatever reason, for once in his life, kai didn’t press luca. did he see the seriousness? believe it? or was it the lack of care for tidying up a mess that luca had no interest in cleaning. “ he’s my dad, I didn’t fall and hit my head, kai, ” he brushed past the other, wiping his hands on the back of the sofa and grimacing at the crimson that concealed it’s already stained covers. the witch drew his gaze back to the brunette, however, as he spoke, and he figured that he didn’t have any other plans tonight, though it was a strange thing to consider, “ where to? ”

Kai thought he lucked out this dead guy came along when he did or Luca wouldn’t look this satisfied, this relieved, to flourish in his powers in the way he was always destined to. Though, the siphoner was the last person to ever put his faith in the belief of destiny, but he can’t ignore the universe is telling him something pushing Luca into his welcoming lap. He lost himself, consumed by power and rage, a commonality the pair shared as a whole now. Malachai saw it before when they first met and he knew something was there, but seeing it with his own eyes bought the fulfilling satisfaction a sociopath could understand. And the best part? Kai didn’t even need to lift a finger.

“Daddy issues? That’s nice.” Kai’s gaze followed his every move like a hawk, breaking only to shoot one more long stare at the body. The realization was obvious considering he fully saw the resemblance glaring back at him with cold, glassy eyes. A shame. He would’ve loved to meet the old man who spawned the darkest magic he’s tasted since ever. “Look who’s an eager beaver. That sour frown was really putting a damper on my mood.” Kai turned on his heel and made a beeline for the door, “We’re going to the club.” He waved a hand, ushering the other to follow. “Want to see why this is only the beginning? You made the jump, Luca, now enjoy the fall. Come on.”

         luca hadn’t expected to be disturbed by anyone tonight, he didn’t think for a moment that his father had anyone that cared, but for a brief moment, in his enjoyment for the life he’d taken, luca dreaded who was stepping into the house. he considered his mother, would she be angry that he’d killed her husband? or was she so willing to play the regretful parent that she’d let it slide, applaud it, perhaps? he couldn’t imagine. but then again, the young witch didn’t have to, because it was not his mother that closed their distance now, in fact, it was no one he could have imagined.

“ kai? ” he asked in confusion, though it wasn’t all that confusing at all, really, was it? this guy was quite literally stalking him, and he was thrilled at what he’d come across today. when he came into view, he was beaming from ear to ear, luca had done the one thing the other begged of him, and luca didn’t suppose his fascination ended there. 

he lifted his head, lips twitching ever so slightly as he held up a hand, stopping kai in his tracks, “ don’t, don’t fucking touch him. ” this man did not deserve to be cleaned up, he didn’t deserve to be hidden away. luca had made a point, and regardless of what it meant, regardless of who that point was proved to, he wanted it to be proven. the witch shook his head, “ leave him to rot, I’m not his fucking maid. ”

“Well, hi.” No look of disgust when Luca saw him, no glare, or mean-spirited comment declaring dissatisfaction with the man’s presence thrown in his direction. It was a welcoming change from the otherwise grumpy Luca Fontaine Kai was given every time he forced himself into the other witch’s life. And again, while he had no idea who the man was laying on the floor in a pool of his blood, he had a small inking there’s a reason Luca chose him. He held importance, at least, the siphoner hoped that was the case.

Kai, for once in his life, actually followed instructions and hadn’t taken another step further into the living room only to shift his gaze away from the deceased corpse to the witch who put the body there. “You knew him. You can’t have that kind of hate unless he’s someone you know.“ Talking from experience, it reminded Kai of him and his father. Now that he considered the possibility, he did see an odd physical resemblance right in the moment. “I have to say, Luca, I’m pleasantly surprised. Doesn’t happen often, but this,” He waved a hand to indicate the room, “Really impressed me. I always knew you had it in you, champ.” Fully entering the space, the cogs ground to a screeching start as the endless scenarios played forth in his mind. “How about we go for a little field trip?”

“ I’ve been in Hell long enough to know there is no such thing as redemption. There is only promises and bargains and tricks we play on ourselves to make us believe we’re good people… I’m not a good person. I know that. And if I’m going down… I’m going out with a bang. ”

satisfied with the amount of backpedaling that had been done, elijah decided there would be no harm in hearing the witch out. they had a witch on their side, but if this one was looking to prove himself useful… then again, elijah needed to know he could trust anyone he’d consider a part of his team, as the other had put it. it had potentially been smart to kidnap elena to bargain with klaus, but it had also been reckless. klaus was enough of a loose cannon; adding another hardly made sense. the witch certainly could not be trusted with anything of importance, yet perhaps he could have some use. “what exactly is it that you are offering that i couldn’t find elsewhere?” he was honestly surprised that niklaus hadn’t just ripped his head off and been done with it. he must’ve caught him in a rare good mood. 

Kai was the lone wolf, always taking care of the plans formulating in that head of his by himself without the help of anyone else. It’s how it was during his childhood and into the time in the prison world. However, desperate times called for desperate measures and he had to adjust to the situation laid out before him. The truth of the matter is, Dani was right, he was sorely outnumbered an he couldn’t expect messing with the wrong people without serious consequences or death. Kai preferred to avoid all of that. “Witty sarcasm, miles and piles of irresistible charm, and magical knowledge. I hear you have a bit of a Klaus problem with his hybrid obsession. Little brothers, am I right?” Kai cracked a quick smile and shrugged his shoulders, “If the universe goes my way, you’ll have an entire coven backing you. All I need from you and your family is protection from pesky Original pups I might or might not have gotten into a bind with.”

kai spoke as though he liked to hear himself talk. it was annoying, definitely, but maybe she could use that to her advantage. maybe if she kept him talking long enough, someone would notice she was gone and rescue her. god knew she couldn’t rescue herself. he’d clearly done something like this before; she was tied up nice and tight, and there was no give. unfortunately, kai was smart. even if she tried distracting him, she was sure it wouldn’t be long before he caught on and got to doing, well, whatever it was he wanted to do. she listened as he spoke, even though the temptation to just ignore him was definitely present. “you spoke to klaus?” she asked, although it shouldn’t have surprised her. she’d been unconscious for an uncertain amount of time, and she kind of doubted that he had just watched her sleep. 

her eyes followed him as he moved around the room, casually confident like he knew exactly what he was going to do. “so josette was the manipulative one? forgive me for being doubtful,” she replied. the letter opener. he knew her blood was useful, so he was going to collect it and bring it to kai. it would hurt, but she could handle a bit of blood loss. there was no getting around it; there was literally nothing she could do, so she just tried to prepare herself. “i thought you had more than one sibling, though. you really didn’t like any of them? must have been lonely.” there was no way in hell empathy was going to work on him. he thought she was ridiculous, but maybe he enjoyed the sound of his own voice enough to answer the question. however, the next thing she knew, he was taking her hand, and a wordless cry escaped her lips as the pain hit her. now her hand hurt to rival her head, but she could handle this. she tried to steady her breathing and think of some sort of comeback to what he’d said. that was the only plan she had. keep him talking. “something tells me klaus will want to collect my blood himself. you’re not doing yourself any favors, here.” 

“Of course I talked to Klaus. The guy sacrifices three people and opens the door to a supposedly impenetrable lock, so I had to see what the fuss was.” Kai heard the stories revolving around Klaus and his many murderous endeavors, this image of the evil hybrid snatching hearts from chests clouding the man’s active imagination when Klaus, in truth, looked completely ordinary. Unassuming. Not that Kai couldn’t slap on a charming smile and turn downright deadly too, but it is a talent the two men shared in common. Klaus Mikaelson was neither a disappointment nor should he have been thrown to the side as a misconceived threat even if his hybrid behavior wasn’t fully displayed during the first meeting. “I told him I took you and” The man whistled with a small shake of his head, “His eyes were bulging.”

Kai was positive Elena knew he wasn’t stupid. For one thing, he wouldn’t have figured out her connection to Klaus had he not read the right pages from her diary, asked the right set of questions, or created an improvised plan that involved facing off the thousand year old former Original vampire while using her as the perfect bargaining chip. The last fact alone proved Kai had enough audacity where others failed. “I guess you don’t call luring your twin brother into the woods and shoving him into his personal hell manipulative.” Jo did pull a fast one over him that night. It was something Kai hadn’t seen coming, but should’ve after what he did to their siblings. That’s one mistake he wouldn’t be making again. “Golden rule, treat people how you were treated. I really preferred using a garbage bag to suffocate their little asses if they thought treating me like trash was the brightest idea.” After swirling the scarlet contents of the vial in front of his eyes for a single moment, taking note of Elena’s resilient willingness to conceal her pain, Kai slid it within the safe confines of his front pocket. “Yikes, you don’t listen, do you? Proof, Klaus, dishwater doppelganger still alive.” There was a long pause as Kai ran the tip of the letter opener along the inside of the brunette’s arm in a teasing fashion, “I have to admit, you look pretty tied up. It’s just...I can’t work like this.” It was a quick decision, tantalizing. He started cutting the rope furiously, quickly, until the binds gave way and dropped to the floor in a tangled mess. Kai leaned in close to her ear, breathing the word. “Run.”

elijah raised his eyebrows at the dramatic show. whoever this man was, he was certainly not an original werewolf. he doubted he had any useful information to give him, so he was strongly considering taking his leave. he knew exactly where to go if he wanted to see unamusing theatrics. not to mention bragging about killing his family. he had no idea who this person was, but he doubted he would pose a threat to his family. the word unimportant came to mind. 

“your theatrics are over the top, but i do find it humorous that you appear to believe that you can bait me,” elijah replied with a serene smile. “i’ve taken care of my family for over a thousand years and faced far bigger threats than you, a cavalier murderer. even so, you are hardly a novelty. if you so much as attempt to cause a rift within my family, i can assure you it will not end well for you.” 

“I’m not looking to land on your bad side, Mikaelson. One Original family gunning for my head is plenty to fill my appetite, so it’s not yours I’m causing a rift in.” The werewolves were already becoming a big problem. Amara took the time out of her evening at the carnival to track him down just to threaten, so it was only a matter of days before the rest of the pack targeted Kai in order to protect their pet witch. Luca never needed their protection, however, that much he needed him to fully understand. “Kidnapping Elena, torturing her, and bargaining Klaus probably doesn’t help my case.” Kai’s gaze drifted, the statement spoken more to himself than Elijah. “Look, I’ll be the team player. Even a pretty awesome asset.” He despised thinking he needed the help, but it’s better toeing the line. “I bet even a cavalier murderer from a well-known coven can have his usefulness.”

      “ i’m not blaming you but at some point you have to let that shit go. “ which was easier said than done, dani knew that. he got his revenge and his past was still something that continued to haunt him but it was getting better. life was getting better. “ were you impaled by the runt? because i was. he’d put two and two together, kai, and atlas already knows that i know you. “

“You say that like I’m not a sociopath who doesn’t do forgiveness.” If Kai let bygones be bygones, he wouldn’t be in Beacon Falls hunting down what was left of his youngest siblings and taking the coven’s power in the palm of his hand. “He staked you? Now, that’s my Luca.” Kai hummed, finding the thought of the witch impaling Dani amusing. “Maybe I should have a good talk with Atlas. Show him I’m not as bad as Luca’s exaggerating me to be.”

     “ Many view you as a monster , don’t they . “ She mused about as she thought for a moment . Making her thoughts of him form . “ If we are to meet again , might I listen to your story ? ” What he meant with not being shown how to ? Was he taught how to not feel ? Tatia could feel that he wasn’t exactly human . Not a vampire either . Or wolf . and not exactly a witch but the feeling was similar to it . “ You can show me if you like .  considering that smile of yours, you really want to show me . What kind of trick is it that most aren’t impressed with ? “  

“You’re a quick learner, aren’t you?” And for a second time, it didn’t appear that fact had scared her off by now. Tatia wasn’t disgusted or dismissive or any other reaction he’s been given over the years. “I have to warn again, my story doesn’t have a happy ending.” Kai could argue the observation only applied to his family, but that prison world they stuffed him in sure the hell wasn’t what he considered his happy ending. “This won’t hurt.” He shot out a hand and grabbed Tatia’s wrist, “I lied. It’s going to hurt a little.” The area surrounding his palm emanated the familiar red glow as he began siphoning her powers, the absorbed magic sparking a wave through the man’s veins and sending a silent breath to leave his lips. One fleeting moment passed before Kai released his grasp and chuckled. “Impressed?”

[hcllrviser]

One text message wasn’t going to be enough to have his fill. Despite his new discovery of another witch who played the part of Luca’s complete opposite to keep him company, Kai never dropped an obsession until he finally saw it through with the end result he so wished. It had been just a day or so since the contact between the dark witch and himself leaving something to certainly be desired, but he came to the conclusion Luca was just now being incredibly stubborn and that annoyed Kai to no end. Of course, Kai couldn’t really care what Amara said either. The threats didn’t matter, making enemies with the Original pack didn’t matter, nothing was going to keep them apart. 

Using the last drop of magic he stole from Luca considering he used it sparingly, Kai created a tracking spell that seemed to lead him to the seediest neighborhood in all of Beacon Falls. Every house on the street wasn’t in the most pristine condition and the one that led him to his favorite play thing wasn’t an exception. Kai found it peculiar as he pushed open the front door how eerily quiet the atmosphere was, almost serene. “Luca?” Calling out, the wooden floor creaked under his shoes. Nothing. “I hope you aren’t trying to play hide and seek with me.” It wasn’t until the man veered into the living room off the main hallway did he find the little witch, standing over the body of a man he didn’t recognize, blood staining his clothes and his hands. And oh, what a sight he was. “Well, this is going to be a bitch to clean up.”

     “ i’m sure i could make you shut up. “ there wasn’t a hint of amusement on the witch’s face as she moved to get up, planning to leave this conversation before she did something she knew that she would end up regretting. “ something tells me the dead wants you the same way: dead. “

“Is that a threat or a promise?” He couldn’t help cracking a smirk and dropped his gaze for a flickering moment before mirroring the woman’s actions. “Okay, fine, I’ll admit it.” Kai’s hands lifted in a mocking surrender devoid of any playfulness with the gesture. “I’ve killed my fair share. Most without reason. Alright, with a tiny reason. I was just bored.”

[hcllrviser]

     “ and how did that work out for you? because in looking out for your own skin you got sent to your own personal hell. you’re out numbered here. maybe instead of being a dick, you could try being the opposite. “ he didn’t expect kai to be a boy scout but there were plenty of creatures crawling in this town that were stronger than kai – that were older than kai. he didn’t stand a chance. the vampire almost scoffed as he stepped back. “ i’m not turning you, kai. i’m already in deep shit. “

“Why am I always the one being blamed? If they didn’t act like the dicks, more than half of my siblings wouldn’t be taking dirt naps. The allies I make always wind up dead anyway.” On the rare off-chance Kai played nice and joined forces with anyone, whoever took the deal ran the risk he couldn’t be trusted. Still, that didn’t mean it hadn’t known how to hold his end of the bargain. “I wouldn’t tell him it was you if you don’t.” Kai folded his arms across his chest, giving the vampire an innocent smile.

      “ Why do you chose not to ? “ She wondered . “ If it’s not too much to ask . I am rather curious of you . “ She bluntly admitted . She was getting strong feelings from him . She has yet to decide if they were positive or negative . Time will tell, of course . “ It’s good to like oneself . “ Not many people did . At least since being back she noticed that not many did . Canting her head to the side , tatia gave him an odd look and lightly laughed . “ You hardly know me for me to be your new favorite person . “ 

“I enjoy being a sociopath. I’m not burdened by the emotional things, like love or guilt, especially when you weren’t shown how.” Another long story for another day, maybe. Kai had little problem blurting out his past sins for a stranger to ponder, but Tatia said it herself. She was curious about him. “If you knew what I could do, you wouldn’t be saying that. I have a fun parlor trick, do you want to see it?” Kai’s lips stretched in a wide grin. “I really have to warn you. Most aren’t impressed.”

      jack barely looked up towards the stranger that decided to strike up a conversation. she almost wanted to roll her eyes at his statement. “ doesn’t stop them from talking, “ she spoke, leaning back in her seat. “ trust me, i’d know. “ 

“I wonder if I could out talk them. I have a real problem not knowing the right moment to end my sentences sometimes, seriously, I could keep going on for days until someone tried and failed to shut me up.” A gasp left his lips, “Like now. What are the chances?” Kai tilted his head to the side, getting a good look at the woman. “Okay, Haley Joel.”

      “ are you that daft? they do mix, kai. they didn’t pop out of the warm with immortality any more than the original vampires did. witches have been helping other supernatural creatures since the dawn of time. you’re the only one who hasn’t quite caught up yet. “ the vampire rolled his eyes as he stepped back. “ you’re a fucking an idiot. “ he didn’t care how harsh that may have sounded because as far as dani was concerned, it was the truth. “ maybe if mommy and daddy loved you a little better and actually taught you something outside of their warped perspective you would get how the real world works. “ dani shrugged as he turned away from kai, “ let me know how this goes for you if you don’t get yourself killed because if you keep fucking with luca, the pack will retaliate and something tells me they have a lot more allies than you do. “

“Didn’t the original vampires get their immortality from an overprotective mommy dearest who did the literal opposite of helping? Look at us witches, being the nature’s balance and creators of abominations since the beginning of time.” True, it was like the Parker family created a bubble blocking out the entire coven from the rest of the world. They didn’t involve themselves in anyone else’s problems much less the life of a supernatural who could have needed prior magical help. “The Gemini coven looked out for the Gemini coven and I looked out for my skin. Why give the world a helping hand when it didn’t extend one to me?” Kai stepped forward and moved around Dani, becoming a temporary blockade. “Then I need a better guarantee than temporary magic, Dani. Not just when it comes to Luca. I could use your help.” He searched the man’s features, tone turning as close to serious as Kai can manage. “You have everything you wanted. Nauseating love, immortality, a new life. Where’s my happy ending?”

      “ wonder how many ouija boards get sold in the month of october. “ she wasn’t really speaking to anyone specific. jack was mostly just thinking out loud, a habit she probably should stick a fork in at some point. “ almost feel sorry for them, “ she muttered. most really didn’t know they were messing with. hell, half of the time she didn’t know what she was messing with but she didn’t exactly go looking for trouble on her own.

“Why feel sorry for them? Any dumb brat or drunken teenager looking to contact the dead are always disappointed when it doesn’t work. It’s well deserved.” Ouija boards were banned in the Parker house not only because they were bogus, but because it could’ve given the children all sorts of ideas. “I’d hate to talk with the dead. Don’t think they’ll want to talk to me either.”
