You get kai and bonnie so much together and individually everything you say fits them in canon so well it's too bad the writers really fumbled with them because when kai showed up he was a breath of fresh air and the best part about him is he's all about bonnie that was new and realistic bonkai was their last shot at getting the vampire diaries interest back up again

AH thank you so much for this lovely message, you're so sweet!! Yes, it really is such a shame the writers fumbled Bonkai bc it rly did seem like they had some great ideas there in the beginning, but the execution fell flat :( I feel like Kai was a breath of fresh air not just for us fans but also the cast & crew! U could rly feel their spark of new excitement for a dying show when kai showed up bc i think they all sensed that he was unique and different from the tired, recycled plotlines they'd had since S4.

Ian in particular seemed much more interested in his scenes when Kai was around (and much more lifeless when he wasn't) and Bonnie ofc was *given* much more interesting scenes when Kai was around, compared to prior seasons. Even Alaric & Jo, who started S6 as rick's new boring romance of the season, became relevant, layered and interesting bc of their links to Kai. Like rick loved to play the hero & act like damon was morally beneath him in S6 but his need to protect Jo from Kai brought out a selfish streak that made him go behind Jo & her fam's back to make shady deals w Damon & Kai as long as it kept Jo safe! Even Jo was revealed to be quite crafty considering her backstory of how she tricked & betrayed Kai in 1994, which made her much more interesting than her early role as rick's bland gf.

Even Liv & Luke were (im sorry) SO BORING in S5 but 1000x more interesting in S6 once their story got linked to Kai. His existence single-handedly linked so many disjointed characters & plotlines from previous seasons (like why'd they even bring Rick back after dying in S3? His relationship w Jo (and by extension, Kai) was the only thing that made him relevant for the rest of the goddamn show)! Even the Heretics were introduced to the show through KAI & the gemini/siphoner lore and fully lost steam as soon as Kai wasn't there to make 'em interesting!

As for Kai's links to Bonnie, ya i agree she rly was their last chance to make things interesting bc they'd already given Elena & Caroline "dark" romances that fans were too attached to to accept anything else (see: Delena being forced to stay together; Steroline forever being overshadowed in most fans' minds by Klaroline) so giving Elena & Caroline new pairings would've disappointed fans, whereas Bonnie was a blank slate they could've gone WILD with bc none of her canon pairings had strongly attached fans... yet they gave Elena & Caroline new romances anyway and scrapped Bon's romance with Kai :)))

That is what felt malicious. In S6 alone, they gave Elena who ALREADY HAD DAMON the new guy Liam, then gave Caroline the same guy Liam, Enzo (briefly) AND Stefan, whereas Bon *almost* got Kai & *fully* lost Jeremy in S6. ??? Any writer who paid half as much attention to her fans as Plague did (considering how much ott fan-service she wrote into tvd & how many twitter fights she got into w fans whose ships she disapproved of) HAD to have known her fans wouldn't accept Caroline/Enzo, Care/Stef, Care/Liam or Elena/Liam as much as they loved Care/Klaus & Elena/Damon. Yet she did it anyway bc she preferred LOSING FANS to giving Bonnie someone interesting!

She even planned Kai to be Bon's love interest in S6 bc she thought he wouldn't be popular w fans & instantly torpedoed that once she noticed fans' love for him bc, as I said before, Plague PAID ATTENTION to her fans' reactions. So fans having lukewarm feelings about Steroline was enough to get 'em married, but fans LIKING Kai was enough to get Bonkai axed. It's a common joke that Plague saw Caroline as her self-insert (neurotic, hyper-organized blonde control-freak) which is why she dated more men than even Elena. But I think a large chunk of tvd's white teen girl fans saw Care as a self-insert too (bc w each subsequent season, Caroline was increasingly written & designed that way, which is why fans turned on tvd's original self-insert, Elena, & worshipped Care instead).

Her "im never the one, im not perfect like elena" insecurities made her a blank canvas for (white) girls to see themselves in, which is why she wins Miss Mystic Falls, why she's a privileged Founding Fam member, why she gets to dress fancy & go to Mikaelson balls that have nothing to do w her, why she gets ALL the men, why she becomes the 1st vampire to be pregnant, why she gets to marry Stefan (then instantly lose him so she can go kiss Klaus in the spin-off), why she gets to be tvd's last vampire standing, why she repeatedly gets to have her cake and eat it too. By presenting Elena as "perfect/ideal" & Caroline as an "underdog," fans naturally sympathized more with Care's "struggle" (even tho she repeatedly got EVERYTHING!) Based on this, Plague refused to let ppl like Klaus date Bonnie (which would've made sense) but shoved him w Caroline (which didn't make narrative sense) bc that gave her & white fans the chance to see themselves in Care & feel like THEY were dating Klaus.

(Btw I wanna add that I actually do like & enjoy Caroline! This is a critique of the shadiness that went into *writing* Caroline, not a critique of Caroline herself)

Similarly, Kai was allowed to want Bonnie as long as fans didn't like him, but once he got popular, Plague killed Bonkai bc she believed that she & her (white) fans wouldn't be able to see themselves in Bonnie and feel like THEY were the ones dating Kai. But Kai was not Klaus, Stefan, Damon, Enzo or Kol. His character was CONCEIVED w Bonnie in mind to the point that erasing his obsession w her would make him not even feel like KAI anymore. And that wouldn't work bc fans wanted gucci kai, not walmart kai. Also, his general personality quirks were just not the type that would vibe w Caroline. Chris Wood said it himself, "Kai likes to be the one who talks, he doesn't like to listen, so I think Caroline might make him wanna snap her neck & move on" bc Caroline ALSO likes to talk. So writing him w Care would change Kai too much & writing him w Elena was not an option bc Delena was set in stone & Nina was leaving. So, how'd plague have her cake & eat it too? She refused to let Bon have Kai, and bc there was no other white girl who made sense for him, she kept Kai eternally single so white fans could eternally imagine themselves w him.

And uk what's the worst part? I don't believe all white fans would've necessarily struggled to see themselves in Bonnie if she'd dated Kai. I think Bonnie being the ACTUAL underdog struggler of the show made her very relatable to people, regardless of what your race is (esp bc tvd rarely addressed her race or centered any plotlines on it). I think Plague's own subconscious biases just made it impossible for her to fathom seeing herself in a PoC character, which is why she wrongly assumed all her majority white fans worked the same way & letting Bonkai happen would've disappointed them & made them stop watching. (But that being said, even if it was just a "business decision" to her... isn't it funny how disappointing masses of white klaroline fans didn't stop her from tossing Care at stef, enzo, whoever she wanted, but ONLY stopped her when it came to Bonnie's ships (bc she was looking for excuses to scrap 'em anyway)? Oh plagueee ur biases are showing, girlieee)

26 - A Coven’s Leader

Part 27

Gemini Runaway

@dragonixfrye @secretdreamlandmentality

Jacob and I were standing in front of our birthday cake at our sixteenth birthday. Holding his hand in mine we blew out the candles on the chocolate and strawberry cake hearing everyone clap. “That is so great, you two.” Our mother took our picture until we saw our uncle coming in our direction.

“Happy birthday my niece and nephew. A few more years and you’ll be all grown up.” He smiled at us but I could see he wanted to talk to our mother. He bent down on a knee holding out his hands to us. "We share a history. A bloodline.. We're family."

Jacob and I placed our hands in each individually but my brother said. “You’re our uncle but mom doesn’t mention you often.”

“That’s because I am a very busy guy. But I’ll let you all in on a little secret. Come close.” He beckoned us forward where we scooted closer hearing him begin to chant something. “Sanguinem desimilus, sanguinem generis fiantus."

I winced trying to pull away from him. “Agh!…uncle you're hurting us!”

“Uncle!” Jaocb cried.

Before he could go any further he winced sharply seeing my mother grab his head siphoning him until he collapsed onto his back groaning. “Urgh Eliza!”

“Are you two okay?” She rushes to us seeing that our arms weren’t bruised or anything.

I shook my head rubbing my hands. “Just sore and tired, mom.”

“Go and lay down. Take your brother with you.” She pushed us toward the house where I glanced over my shoulders. “I don’t want you anywhere near my children ever again.”

Joshua couched getting to his feet. “One of them will become the leader whether you like it or not, sister.”

“Who the hell are you, mate?” Klaus asked staying in front of me as a bodyguard being able to feel my heartbeat almost racing where I might kill over by the level of fear running through me.

Joshua moved forward, extending his hand. “I’m Joshua Parker. It’s nice to meet you Klaus Mikaelson.”

Klaus eyed his hand about to move forwards but I shoved myself in between the pair smacking his hands away knowing what he was going to do. “No! You don’t get to magic his ass. Now what the hell are you doing here. And how did you even find me?”

“We share blood. I still have the strongest magic of our coven or at least I did until I found your spot on the map. Somehow your strength has grown at a quicker rate than should be physically possible.” He explained it to me.

Klaus raised his hand tugging me backwards by my forearm. “That’s because of me, Joshua is it. You know I have heard quite a lot about you. And none of the stories are good. So I suggest you get out of here before I rip your throat out!” He showed him his fangs and the werewolf eyes.

“If you kill me then she’ll die too.” Joshua said, meeting my gaze where I crossed my arms over my chest stepping away from him.

Klaus smirked at him. “She’s linked to me, she’s basically immortal now.”

“Then why are there marks on her arms huh. I am not an idiot. Every time she used magic and became weak I felt it.” My uncle stepped closer trying to get my attention. “Now can we please talk some privately because I didn’t have to come out here.”

Snapping back at him I bared my teeth, stomping up to him. “If you don’t want to be here then go home. I don’t want anything to do with you ever since the day I met you, you have done nothing but try and get me and my brother to Merge. Now that you forced us to do so I murdered my own brother-“

“I have done the same thing you did.” Joshua cut me off.

Throwing my hands in the air I shouted at him clutching my hands into fists breaking some of the street lights around us without doing any magic at all. “You don’t know what it feels like to watch your brother die and have no clue that it was going to happen. You may have killed yours and think it is okay but it’s not. It’s the thing that keeps me awake at night and I will never find peace knowing that he suffered!”

“I had to do it before I got sick and died. I don’t have the patience to wait a couple more years for the twins.” He raised his voice at me.

“Oh yeah because you’re afraid that Kai is trying to get out!”

For the first time in my life I saw honor take over my uncle's face. Klaus came to stand beside me grasping my hand in his sending me a confused look not understanding. “What are you talking about, Raelyn. He’s trapped in a prison world. He can’t get out.”

“Well I’ve seen him. When I took on the Original witch's magic I passed out and saw him. He talked to me somehow like I was in his prison for only a split second. But he’s trying to escape, mark my word, Uncle. He threatened to kill me one night when I was heading to bed.” I marched up to him grabbing his hands making him wince when I showed him my memories before he pushed me away.

Klaus caught me in his arms when I stumbled backwards gripping his jacket. “He will never get out. You are just lying so that I don’t do the ritual to make you the leader. So I don’t transfer my power over to you and put the whole coven in the hands of your baby. On the off chance that you carry twins inside your belly!”

“There’s no baby, Uncle Joshua.” I attempted to lie knowing that he didn’t have vampire hearing.

He scoffed, raising his hand chanting a mind spell. “Do you take me for a fool, Raelyn. Pontem praesidio. Anchora immortalibus. Per mental mi heavy for anmina. Pontem praesidio. Anchora immortalibus!” I grabbed the sides of my head seeing my past memories coming to the surface.

Shrugging my shoulders I throw my hands away from my side. “From what I gather I am able to have a child because he was born a werewolf. So before he turned he was a mortal supernatural being.”

“You two have slept together recently.” The witch shouted, making me halt in my tracks.

Klaus took a few steps back dragging me behind him and shielding me with his chest. “What are you saying?”

“Niklaus… The girl is carrying your child.” Elijah reveals to him where my hand’s dropped down to my stomach in shock.

Screaming I wanted the pain to stop. “Get out of my head, Uncle Joshua!”

“Pontem praesidio. Anchora immortalibus - urgh!” He grunted getting pinned against the wall by Nik who was choking him by the throat.

Raising to my feet I began gasping for breath when his eyes started rolling in the back of his head. “Klaus, let him go…..if you kill him we all die!”

“He’s hurting you, Rae. He won’t have much to say if he doesn’t have his tongue.” My boyfriend threatened shoving his fangs again.n

Raising my hand casting a sleeping spell on him snapping his neck quickly. Uncle Joshua collapsed to the ground gasping for breath staring up at me when he saw my hand was extended down to him. “See you’re just like me. Doing what is best for the Coven.”

“I didn’t save your life to benefit the Coven. I did it to keep Josette, Lucas and Olivia alive.” Yanking him up to his feet I glared into his gray eyes that focused on me. “Now if you’re so concerned with the Coven then send your power to me. I’ll become the leader!”

He raised a brow. “You have repeatedly said you don’t want it.”

“You’re right I don’t give a crap about the others in our Coven. I was an outcast by everyone else except for my mother and Josette. So they can all rot for all I care. But I will do what I have to do to save the ones that I actually do love.” I stomped up to him almost pressed up against his chest where we could feel the others' breath.

Joshua glanced down to my boyfriend Klaus who was still dead from the neck snap I had given him. He bent down placing his hand on his chest looking back up at me. “So he’s the father huh. I am surprised that you got him. Everyone knows to fear his name.” He got to his feet laying his palms flat for me. “You are doing what you were born to do, Raelyn Lane.”

“Save it, Uncle and start chanting!” I shouted up at him smacking my hands into his larger one.

He closed his eyes, wincing a little when I began to siphon his magic while he chanted the Merge spell and another spell I wasn’t familiar with.“Sanguinem desimilus, Sanguinem generis flantes. Sanguinem desimilus, Sanguinem generis flantes…Tillate ulaz tillate ulaz tillate ulaz. Tillate ulaz tillate ulaz tillate ulaz.”

“Raelyn…no!” Klaus regained his consciousness the second that the wind blew around us and he could see our intertwined hands.

Yet I ignored him chanting at the same time as my uncle. “Sanguinem desimilus, Sanguinem generis flantes. Sanguinem desimilus, Sanguinem generis flantes…Tillate ulaz tillate ulaz tillate ulaz. Tillate ulaz tillate ulaz tillate ulaz.” Wincing sharply as a huge amount of power gets transferred into my bloodstream struggling to remain linked to the spell when I enter his mind space.

Before my eyes I relived the memory the night he put his son away. "Josette, what did you do? Why can't I feel your magic? And why aren't they saying anything? They should be saying something. They should be saying something, right? We're merging. This should all be a bigger deal."

Suddenly Uncle Joshua appears, holding the Ascendant and stepping forward from the circle of the coven around them. "Sanguinem filio, sanguinem effurgarex perpetuum. Sanguinem filio, sanguinem effurgarex perpetuum."

Kai began screaming in pain on the ground. "Aah! Aah!"

Uncle Joshua kept performing the spell. "Phesmatos filio, phesmatos effurgarex perpetuum."

He dropped our hands and I felt lightheaded immediately afterwards. My uncle collapsed onto the ground and I fell backwards seeing Klaus hovering above me trying to keep me awake but I didn’t have enough strength. “Raelyn. Raelyn, keep your eyes opened. Stay with me, love!”

The next time I blinked my eyes open I was brought face to face with Tyler Lockwood sitting on the end of the bed in one of the mansion. I croaked out still feeling drained from the spell that we had done not understanding how we got back to the Falls so fast. “Tyler, what are you doing here?”

“Getting revenge on Klaus. He is busy getting someone to check on you. But he won’t find you.” He explains in a cold manner.

“What do you mean -“ I asked getting cut off when he covered my mouth with his hand and his other arm yanked me against his chest vamping us all the way into the middle of the woods.

He drops my weak body on the ground. “When the witch gets here we will use Raelyn to drag Klaus out here. Then we’ll finish him.”

Lifting my head up as much as I could I shivered seeing that there were twelve of his sired hybrids surrounding me. I raised my hand attempting to do the spell that I use to knock the Original family down but nothing happened. “Tyler, listen to me if he finds out you have me he will kill you.”

“Yeah except you see when he gets here, he won’t make it out alive.” He bent down on a knee biting into my neck throwing me into the strong arms of two of the hybrids that held me there bleeding slowly. “Keep her until he gets here. Then you know what to do.”

It was a few hours when night fell before one of the hybrids came back from town standing. “Where the hell is the witch? Adrian should be here any minute.”

The one named Adrian gasped before he collapsed to the ground and I saw that Nik had taken out his heart angrily watching the others. “Kim.”

“Klaus!” I gasped, choking on blood feeling more lighthearted than when I did the spell with my uncle.

He dropped the heart holding a longsword in his other hand stalking up to the remaining hybrids, specifically never taking his eyes off the two holding me on the ground. “You’ve got exactly less than a second to release her if you wish to make it out of here alive!”

One of the hybrids launches himself up into the air but he swings the sword killing him. He vamped forward, slicing a few others with the weapon. One of the hybrids holding me bit into my neck leaving the other to charge at him dying like the others. “One more step and I’ll kill her.”

“No you won’t!” Klaus growled vamping the hybrid against the tree behind me where my body got thrown harshly into another tree stabbing me multiple times where I felt my blood coming out.

Klaus went after the last hybrid girl who ran to the cellar getting trapped turning to see him covered in blood. “Where is Tyler Lockwood? You'd do well to answer me, love. Where is he?!”

She shuttered, trapped in between him and the cell bars. “I don't know.”

“Wrong answer.” He stabbed her with the sword, vamping back to me dropping the sword biting into his wrist in a panic to save me like he did last time something like this happened. “Raelyn - drink love.”

Wrapping my fingers weakly around his hand I took only two sips before my eyes fell closed and I collapsed into his arms. “Nik….” And for the last time did he hear her heartbeat before there was nothing.

Comments really appreciated ❤️

Episode 478: Carried on the wind

Soap operas usually have multiple more or less independent storylines going simultaneously. Dark Shadows had trouble keeping that up, usually having an A story with all the action and a B story that never got off the ground and eventually dried up altogether. Now, in the spring of 1968, they have several equally dynamic arcs going at once. As a result, today’s episode is a bit of a jumble, as we…

I really don’t like the Gemini Coven. They are beyond messed up and not just Kai, but everyone. Liv and their dad, Joshua were more willing to sacrifice Jo to Kai for their own selfishness and Tyler was no help either. I get he was just trying to protect Liv, but he handled it all wrong and hurt others along the way. He was willing to sacrifice Jo and he ruined the first attempt at rescuing Bonnie from the Prison World. The only sensible members of the Gemini were Luke and Jo.

what legacies ending means for me

i am actually very upset. like, i have had to wipe tears away just to see so that i could write this. some may find this dramatic or whatever, but i don't really care.

whether you keep up with this account or not, i have not been posting episode reaction recaps in a while. i can't pinpoint the exact moment, but i wanna say it was after kaylee left the show. i still watched all of the episodes, i am all caught up, i just haven't felt like writing anything on them. she was the light of the show for me.

despite everything, i still came back of course. i love the tvdverse with all of my heart. that's why this is so hard for me. and, I'm not trying to be all "woe-is-me" or suggest that I am the only one feeling this way, I am just saying how I feel because I don't want to generalize and I want to be transparent.

the vampire diaries came out in 2009, but i didn't start watching until 2014 (i was literally like, 7 when it came out) and I've been watching all the way up until now, as i just finished my sophomore year of college!! that's so crazy. that's the thing about a series or movie franchise that happen to be with you through years and phases of your life.

in 2017, the vampire diaries ended. the following year, 2018, the originals ended. i lost two shows that are deeply embedded into my life and who i am. but then, in that same year of 2018, legacies premiered and i gained something in the midst of back-to-back loss.

i wasn't too sure about this spin-off since it only had a few familiar characters, but i quickly became invested. how could i not? i got to see characters, new and old, tell their stories in this platform and see them grow. the last two seasons though, became repetitive in my opinion, and all the stuff with m*tt d*vis plagued the serious, i think.

what the show represented and what it could be in the future was shifted by writers who discarded the potential the characters had and where they could take the show. but that's a whole other issue.

while at times i was not impressed by the show in the last season or so, there were other times where i was pleasantly surprised and invested in what they had to offer. which, by now this probably sounds repetitive with stuff I've said above...

the point is, that no matter what i love them. and while i knew that one day this would come to an end, i just thought that i would have more time. i thought it would be like the last two before them where it was announced which season would be their last. this is not their fault i know, but it still pains me.

there is so much left to discover and explore and because of the cancelation that won't be able to happen. at least not on screen. i know there are writers out there that will continue to write legacies and share it on the internet or in other places for people to see.

i've already been through this twice. i've lost two series in this universe and I'm about to lose the last one. what i really realized is that i am losing my comfort characters and in a way, just losing comfort. these characters and actors that brought them to life gave me something to look forward to when my day was bleak and i was alone. i don't care if that sounds sad or that i need to fix something in my life then. everyone has their own system of how they go about things or what they attach to, and this is mine. there are other shows that I've loved to a grand magnitude, but the tvdverse always comes in first place.

it has truly been a pleasure and honor to be able to experience 3 different shows with such lovely people who deserve the world. and that extends to everyone behind the scenes that make the show possible. i have loved being able to see friendly faces return and be apart of legacies (shoutout to the originals cast and mama laughlin + kai). i love the easter eggs and how they keep everything alive in the legacy that is after them. everyone who works on legacies has a passion for their work and care about what they do.

i'm going to miss them. i miss them already. but no matter what, i will always be grateful for what they gave me. i will always support them, and be endlessly proud of them.

i thought they'd be with me at least until the end of college. I have two years left, and they have one month. let's soak them in.

@raiisefire required kai parker.

" 𝐣𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞 ... " eighteen years. he has waited eighteen years in isolation for the sin he had committed. though, was it really a sin ? slaughtering his whole family ? well, half of them ? was he proud ? was he remorseful ? sometimes, he does. especially when he has no one to annoys. but wasn't it a warning to tell his parents that he was there too ? wasn't it something to actually attracts attentions when they would rather left him all by himself ? even his brothers and sisters, peace to their souls, didn't wanted to include him in family gathering. as if he was a freak among them. something he cannot deny now that he was alone, in his misery. " where are your manners, josette ? not even an " hello " or a " i've missed you twin brother ? " nothing ? oh, well. "

Closed starter for @geminidestined

Jo was keen to meet with Anakin alone after the thanksgiving drama, so much had come to light that day. Between finding out Luke and Olivia were in Mystic Falls, Kai was still alive in his prison world, and discovering Anakin was also a Gemini witch, a powerful one too. Jo had a lot of catching up to do, she thought she'd left this part of her life behind a long time ago.

Talking to Anakin was primarily Elena's idea, since Jo had been teaching the promising young doctor at the hospital and finding out she to had her dabbling's with the supernatural world, the two of them had drawn rather close. It took little convincing for Jo to agree it was for the best and asked for the student to pass on an invite to the younger witch.

Bringing her to today, sitting anxiously in Mystic Grill as the boy approached her table. Part of her had hoped he wouldn't show, at least then she could say to Elena that she had tried. Standing to greet him, "I'm glad you agreed to come today" she held out her hand with a smile, "Josette, but call me Jo".

And so it begins.

20 - One Last Hurrah

Part 21

Gemini Runaway

Tag list ask to be added @dragonixfrye @secretdreamlandmentality

“If you refuse to hold still Rae we will be here all day. So please hold still.” Klaus chuckled in my direction moving his paintbrush across the board since he was insisting on painting me before we bothered waking my mother and linking my life to his forever.

He had me sitting on one of the large coaches that was near the fireplace that had a burning fire in it even though this house full of vampires didn’t get cold. My hair was slightly waving, falling down my shoulders with me wearing one of his shirts since I didn’t have to hide the black darkness veins from him anymore, which was paired with some ripped jeans and some black combat boots. “I can’t help it. In case you have forgotten I am used to having to live everyday on the run. So forgive me if I can’t remain still for a portrait.”

He shook his head, returning to focus on the painting smirking at me. “After today we will have all the time in the world. So where would you like to go first, love?”

“You’re the one who has been alive for a thousand years. What was your favorite place in the universe?” I asked him to intertwine my hands together in my lap.

The hybrid paused his actions coming to stand in front of me tapping the paintbrush in the air like he really needed to think about it but he already knew. “New Orleans.”

“Then that’s where we shall go, together forever.” I held up my pinky to him with a smirk on my face.

“Together forever.” He declares looping his pinky around mine turning back to the painting grinning ear to ear hearing someone coming into the room. “What took you so long?”

Rebekah revealed a white oak stake from behind her back. “Alaric didn't want to hand over the stake. Luckily I'm quite the charmer.”

Klaus asked her, sitting the brush down facing her. “That's it?”

Rebekah said back. “Last of the white oak stakes that can kill us. Do you want to do the honors, or shall I?” He takes it and throws it in the fireplace where I watched the stake burn in the heat of the flames knowing that he wouldn’t have to worry about someone with the ability to kill him anymore.

“Pack your bags. We're leaving.” He clasped his hands together walking over to me wrapping his arms around me from behind resting his chin on my shoulder. “Raelyn has picked our new home. New Orleans.”

Rebekah knits her brows together at him.“Today?”

Klaus lifted his head up slightly. “Why not? There's nothing keeping us here. We'll grab the doppelganger and be off by sunset. The only thing we must do is get Rae’s mother to perform a little linking spell so that she can spend an eternity by my side.”

“And goodbye to my psycho Coven trying to make me their leader. I say we deserve a beer after the spell.” I raised my hands in the air, hearing Nik chuckle in my ear kissing the crown of my head.

Rebekah slumped her shoulders in frustration not wanting to leave yet. “But tonight's the decade dance.”

Klaus sent her a look. “So?”

Rebekah dropped her hands at her sides. “So I'm head of the committee. We have to go.”

Klaus grumbled nuzzling his head into my neck until I lightly pushed him so he would give his attention to his sister.” I'm not going to any dance.”

Rebekah fought him. “Caroline will be there and Rae deserves to say goodbye to her. She also deserves to spend one night at a school dance too.“

Klaus grumbled not fazed. “That means nothing to me.”

“Rae, will you help me out here. Work your magic on him please.” Rebekah begged me knowing that I was her only hope of convincing him. “I have big plans for tonight. Just go for me.”

Shifting around on the couch I drape my arms over his shoulder since he was now sitting behind me on the couch. “Nik, if you let us stay for the dance then she will be happy and leave us alone where we could…you know maybe get to the last base.”

“Rae, we haven’t talked about if you’re even comfortable with that.” He started to try and talk me out of it thinking that I wouldn’t be ready to sleep with him. Since a few months ago I had very different feelings.

Playing with the dog tag necklace he wore, our gazes met where I saw his shoulders sigh in relief at my words. “Yes but that was before I knew I really got a chance to live. Now I am not afraid of anything that comes for us. So what do you say?”

Klaus shifted his gaze back to his sister, sending her a smile. “Ok, fine. One last hurrah.”

“One last hurrah, Nik.” Rebekah smiled leaving the room seconds after that.

Crawling off the couch I tugged him up to his feet by his arm where he joked through a smirk with me dragging him downstairs to the cellar. “So you’re that eager are you, little siphon queen?”

“Not right now, crazy hybrid. We have to make sure I do not die from using my own magic. Did you find me a ring that would work?” I sent him a glare opening the door seeing that mother was still asleep from the spell I used on her.

Klaus reached into his back pocket dropping on a knee before me with a playful smile. “Will you link your life to mine, Raelyn Lane?”

“Yes I will.” I smiled, letting him slide the ring on my left right finger holding it up where I could look at it. The ring was gold and had a small silver jewel in the center since I told him he didn’t have to give me anything that was filled with tons of diamonds or anything. “Surgere.”

My mother Eliza gasped sitting upright looking around the room in a panic just like last time seeing that I was there but she made a face at Klaus. “Rae….who the hell is he?”

“Mrs. Lane, May I introduce myself. I am Klaus Mikaelson. The original hybrid, half vampire and werewolf. I am also your daughter’s boyfriend. Now we have a favor to ask of you. Can you do a spell that links her life force to mine forever?” He extended a hand down to her, helping her stand on her own in front of us.

She made a face focusing her attention on me rather than on him. “Look at your arms. The magic has gotten worse. Why didn’t you wake me sooner?”

“Because she still doesn’t trust you.” Klaus told her, crossing his arms over his chest.

She rolled her eyes begging me while she tried to tug me towards the door by my forearm but I didn’t budge. “We have to go sweetheart. I will find a witch who can reverse this.”

“That's not what I want, mother. I will find a way to remove the dark magic from my body myself. But I can’t do that until I am linked to an immortal life. And I chose my boyfriend Klaus. Now you can either help us or I can knock your ass out again!” I threatened her by getting up in her face.

Klaus smirked leaning against the doorway so proud and turned on at the same time. “There’s my queen.”

“Rae Rae, what happened to you. You weren’t like this growing up. I mean you had a fighting spirit but not…this.” My mother asked reaching up but I snagged her wrist.

“I was born with a fiery spirit, yes. But you dare have to ask what happened to me. You caused this. The paranoid mind and everything else. I never realized it until recently but all the true stubbornness came from Jaocb and me. We were both equally stupid children and now that combined into one person is more than anyone can handle. Now can we please get on with this spell so you can run off while I still care.” I growled at her clutching my hands into fists at my side just wanting to be away from her now.

She dropped her gaze to the floor sitting back down and I followed her actions. “I’ll need a knife, a cup and some candles please Mr. Mikaelson. This spell will require both your blood and my daughters.” He vamped up the stairs and back down with what was she needed handing them to her.

“So what do I - uh we have to do here?” I questioned her twirling the ring on my finger where she noticed it.

“Is that the ring you want to use. Place it on the ground then cut your palm and drop some blood on it.” Nodding, I followed her instructions sitting the jewelry in the middle of our circle, grabbing the blade and drawing some blood. The red liquid dripping began staining the ring. “Now Klaus you do the same with your blood and then you each take my hand holding hands with one another.”

Klaus raised his wrist up to his mouth opening a wound on it letting his blood drip onto mine and the ring he got me. “If you hurt her or betray us I will hunt down everyone that you love besides her.”

“Nik, I think we’ve made our threats clear enough.” I warned him, placing one hand in his and my other in my mothers.

As soon as she began chanting the spell that was in one of Esther’s grimoire that was labeled as the original linking spell used on her children we watched the pill of blood become as one and then transform into a circle around the ring itself. “Phasmatos ex loser exis pa unas animotos. Phasmatos di conjunctions, sol facto dos mand. Phasmatos ex loser exis pa unas animotos. Di conjuncto sol facto. Phasmatos de vos mand.” The candles burst up in flames with her finishing the chant causing the ring to grow brighter and then have the light fade from it. “Phasmatos tribum, melan veras raddiam, onu pavadus ponemus….there that should do it. You two are now linked together.”

Klaus picked up the ring sliding it back on my finger softly saying. “Do a spell, Rae and see if it works.”

“Okay um…inviseque.” I shut my eyes seeing that Klaus and my mother both shared the same confused look until I returned meaning that I had turned invisible. Looking at my arm the vein was still there but it was very faint and I didn’t feel as much pain as before. “It works. Thank you, mother.” Wrapping my arms around her in a hug we head for the door.

Klaus paused in the doorway nodding to her. “Thank you, Mrs. Lane. I won’t forget you for your help.” He vamped away following me off so we could get ready for the dance tonight.

He had put on an all white suit and tie. He had given me a red dress with my hair thrown up in a bun. I had paired it with some white flats wearing the blue jewelry necklace and the new linking ring. We walked into the dance hand and hand until Caroline noticed us separating herself from Tyler embracing me in a hug. "Oh my gosh Rae. Thank gosh you're okay. I have missed you."

"I've missed you too, Care." I hugged her back knowing that I have been busy with Jo and not spending time with her or Rebekah as much as I wished.

She broke the hug holding my hands in hers noticing the ring on my left one. "Wait a second. Are you two engaged already?"

"We could be in the very near future." Klaus smirked beside me.

Squeezing her hands I corrected him before he mace the blonde before me completely flip out. "No we're not. It's a ring that connects me to his immortal life force. So that when I use my magic I shouldn’t die since I still have Esther's consumed magic inside me."

"Well that's a good idea. I don't want to lose one of my friends. I really like you, Raelyn." She smiled.

I grinned back. "I do the same about you, Caroline."

Klaus tapped my shoulders offering me his hand tugging me away from the blonde vampire girl. "Care to dance, siphon queen." Putting our hands together when got on the dance floor where he twirled me underneath his arm.

"What's that smirk for?" I asked spinning back into his arms seeing that he was smirking at me.

"You would have loved the 1920s, Raelyn. Girls were reckless, sexy, fun. They literally used to dance until they dropped." He chuckled when we spun around in his a few circles, smiling.

I raised our hands into the air finally being able twirl him out and back into my chest with him brushing our noses up against each other. "You must show me all the eras you enjoyed the most."

"And I will gladly do so." He lifted his gaze up scanning the crowd. "It's odd that I haven't seen Rebekah yet."

Glancing over my shoulder I agreed with him. "Yeah it is. Maybe she is trying to be fashionably late."

A Few hours that wasn't the case when we still hadn't seen her. "Rebekah, call me back immediately. I only came to this ridiculous dance because you begged me to, and now you're nowhere to be found,” Klaus grumbled into the phone until we stop in front of a barrier of salt that surrounded the school trapping us all inside. “What is this?”

Stefan came up behind us. "Your mother's back."

A boy named Jamie that was Bonnie's date. "She does this all the time, right?"

Klaus grumbled standing beside me. "What's taking so long? All boundary spells have a loophole."

Matt enters the room. “People are walking right out of the dance, past the barrier.”

Jeremy pointed out. "Well, if Matt and I can leave, we could stop Esther ourselves. We just gotta find out where she is."

Stefan said back. "su1c1de, Jeremy."

Klaus rushes toward Jamie and strangles him by his throat. "Su1c1de would be disappointing me. Now work your magic, witch, or I'll start killing people you fancy."

Bonnie begged him standing in front of a table of candles. "Let him go."

Klaus snarled in his throat. "Not until you get us out of here."

Snapping my fingers I finally got sn idea placing my hand on his shoulder. "Hang on. I think I can siphon it away. If I was able to take away your mother's power then the same should apply here."

"Fine. We'll try that." He released the boy from his grip where he gasped for breath.

Klaus and I walked back outside where we stopped at the edge of the salt. He intertwined his hand with mine where I began siphon him. Lowering myself down onto placing my freehand on the salt sucking in a breath seeing my other hand turning red. The veins on my arms began to turn darker but Klaus took a breath seeing that they disappeared as quickly as they came seconds before the barrier spell completely broke. "Try it now, Nik." He moved one foot forward being able to step over.

"Now we find my mother, Raelyn." He declares vamling us off in her direction. Looking around it was completely dark and he walked forward smacking into another wall but I was able to walk forward. "Go on Rae. I'll be here."

Sneaking around the corners I could hear Esther talking to Elena. "He'll wake soon. When he does, he may for a time be his old self. If so, you can say your good-byes before his transition is complete."

Elena told the witch. "You said you wanted to undo the evil that you created, but this this is just as evil."

"Alaric will never be what my children became. I have granted him enough power to complete his task. Then when the time is right, he will die." Esther explained.

Elena raised a brow. "How, if he's immortal?"

Esther reassured her. "All you need to know is that when this is over, we will have rid the earth of vampires once and for all."

Elena points out. "Yeah, but you'll be killing the good along with the bad. You're no better than Klaus."

Esther raised a brow at her making a good point. "Am I not? I desire a world where you and your loved ones will not suffer at the hands of vampires, like your aunt Jenna did."

I heard someone walking my direction where I spun around getting into a fighting stance seeing Matt and Jeremy coming towards me with weapons. "Raelyn, what are you doing here?"

"Coming to take down Esther. You guys shouldn't be here." I warned them by grabbing my necklace, feeling that I was able to draw magic from my new ring.

"We're here to help." Matt said drawing a gun. He moved forward and I closed my eyes doing the disappearing spell so she wouldn't expect me and only see them.

Matt warned her holding up a gun breaking through the tree line. “Don't move.”

Jeremy is there too with a crossbow. “Where is Elena?”

Elena gasped. “Jeremy?!”

Jeremy told the witch. “Let her go.”

Esther noticed them glaring at the boys. "How foolish of you to risk your lives in defense of those who will kill you. But if that is your choice…" She raises her hands. Their weapons turn against each other.

Jeremy panicked watching his crossbow move. "Matt. Matt, drop your gun!"

Matt shouted back. "I can't. I'm not controlling it."

Elena begged her. "Esther, stop it!"

"You all aren't strong enough to stop me - urgh!" The original witch groaned when I appeared behind her placing my hands on the sides of her head siphoning her. She spun around where I dropped my hands stepping away from her. "So the abomination witch is still alive. I must say I am impressed. But you won't make it out of this now that I have turned the history teacher into a much stronger hunter."

Raising both my hands directly at her I began chanting feeling the wind blowing my hair in front of my eyes. "“Magia tollux de terras……Magia tollux de terras.”

"Urgh ... .you monsterious…siphon!" Esther grunted, grabbing her head almost dropping on her knees in agony.

I bared my teeth together feeling some blood falling from my nose but I wasn’t on the verge of passing out like before. Clutching my hands closer to closing into a fist I kept chanting adding a new addition to the spell. "Magia tollux de terras……Magia tollux de terras. Orbios rutai filio. Orbios rutai filio…. Magia tollux de terras……Magia tollux de terras. Orbios rutai filio!"

"No! That is impossible. You can't take my magic girl….someday there will be someone stronger than you!" She collapsed onto the ground with me gasping harshly feeling her power get launched into my body.

I went down on my hands and knees throwing my hair in front of my eyes struggling for breath. "Next time you make a new vampire hunter. Don't immediately give him a weapon." Alaric arrives behind her and kills her.

He frantically looked around seeing everything before him then focused on Elena who was bleeding from her wrist. "Oh god. Where's my ring? Tell me what happened." After that point Alaric Saltzman would shortly die.

Episode 368/369: Whole future

In 1966 and 1967, supernatural menaces Laura Murdoch Collins and Barnabas Collins would often be seen staring out the windows of their houses on the great estate of Collinwood, sending psychic energy towards the targets of their sinister plans. In 1795, Barnabas is neither supernatural nor menacing, but we already see him peering out one of those windows. He is not projecting bad vibes into the…

drabble #7 - kissing disease

kai parker x reader

summary: despite the deal he had made with her several weeks ago, kai needs his sister for her medical opinion, again.

tags: doctor / hospital, sickness, small mention of blood, caught / confession

word count: 1,023

a/n: here is a short lil drabble-ish piece i wrote as i'm trying to get back in the swing of things. i went to a tvd con, and then got a cold 😭 so i'm a little out of it. but, i did produce this, so here it is!

A series of knocks disturb the couple and their guest from their conversation. It’s bad enough to have one uninvited guest, and now there’s another at the door. Even worse, when Ric answers, it’s the person he and his girlfriend want to see least in the world.

Kai Parker, visibly ill, is hunched over his entryway. One hand is gripping the doorframe, while the other is raised to knock again, but drops when Ric opens it.

“Oh no-” the older man starts.

“Wait, wait, wait-”

Upon hearing the direct ‘no’ from Ric, Jo joins his side. At the sight of her twin brother, though, she’s immediately pissed. “No. We had a deal. I give you my magic and you never speak to me again.”

“I know-”

“So why the hell would you think it’s okay to come here?”

“I need your help.”

“You’re insane! If you think I’m going to help you, after all you’ve ever done to me, you’re insane.”

“I know, and I know we had a deal. But, look, I’m really sick, I don’t know why. It’s not a magical problem this time, because I’ve tried to heal it with magic and it’s not working. I don’t know if I did the right spell, or if there’s something blocking it, I don’t know. All I ask is that you just look. Just, try to see me as a patient, just for today. Please?”

“You will not manipulate me like that. I won’t let you.”

“I’m not trying to, I promise.”

By now, Damon’s joined the doorway. “Oh, it’s you,” he says bluntly. “Why are you here?”

“I’m sick. I came to see my sister because she’s a doctor, not because I wanted to hurt her. Please, Josette.”

The girl sighs. “Fine. But if you try anything, I will kill you.”

“Promise I won’t.”

Ten minutes later, she has Kai sitting on a patient bed in Whitmore hospital. The three had decided it would be easier to do there, so they made the quick drive over to the medical center. Luckily, it’s after busy hours, so they’re able to work without interruption.

At first, Jo asks all the typical questions and runs all the standard tests. She rules out that it’s definitely not a magical issue, and that it seems to be a virus of some sort. She just can’t seem to narrow it down to which one, though.

“It’s not strep; that test came up negative. Could you repeat your symptoms to me?”

Kai rolls his eyes, but answers, “throat has been sore for a couple days, my, like, lymph nodes are swollen, up here on my neck,” he points to the area, “I’m really tired, skin is kinda hot, and I’ve had a headache.”

“Right. So this is kind of a Hail Mary, but I’m gonna do it anyway. I need a sample of your blood. Just a finger-prick.” She holds out a little test, then a needle, and takes his hand. “Try not to flinch,” she says, before remembering to whom she’s talking. Jo then almost flinches herself when she realizes it’s her brother’s hand she’s grasping.

Kai doesn’t budge when she pricks his finger. In fact, he just yawns, like he’s bored. It disturbs her.

“Just give it a couple minutes.”

Jo leaves to find the other two while the test takes the time it needs. In a couple minutes, though, she returns, both men on her tail. She reads the test, then scoffs.

“What is it?” Ric asks before anyone else can.

“It’s positive.”

“For what?”

“Mono.”

“What?!” The man asks a third time.

“What’s that mean?” Damon questions, too.

“Mononucleosis. Epstein-Barr. Whatever you want to call it. The Kissing Disease.” She looks at Kai, who says nothing. “Spread through saliva. Either you got it from kissing someone, or sharing drinks, silverware, or something like that. So what’s it from?”

“No way,” Damon interrupts, “there’s no way someone was kissing him, that’s got to be a false positive.”

“It’s the only one of all my tests to come out positive.”

“Alright, fine,” Kai says, “of all the ways I expected to be caught, this was not one of them.”

The two men seem to get angry at this. At nearly the same time, they bark, “who was the poor girl?”

“Hey, she was a willing participant!”

“Who was it, Kai?”

“Really pretty. Sweet voice. Likes the bad boys, but she seems so innocent, you wouldn’t know unless she told you. Friend of yours, Damon. You had her babysit me one day, and then things just kind of… took off!”

“No.” Damon denies, not wanting it to be true.

“Oh, yes.”

“She wouldn’t be caught with the likes of you. Y/N is too good for that.”

“Oh, but she wasn’t caught… until, well, she apparently gave me mono.”

“But that was months ago I had her watch you.”

“And it was months ago since we started hanging out. And then hanging turned to kissing, which I started, because she’s way too shy to give in the first time, but once she does, she’s just… crazyyyy cute about it. Always stealing kisses when I’m not expecting it. Guess it makes sense how this could’ve happened.”

“You’re lying. Y/N would never.” Ric agrees with his best friend.

“I swear to you I am not.”

“I’ve got an easy way to figure this out. Hold on one second.” Damon puts a finger up while dialing a number on his phone. After a few rings, it picks up. “Y/N?”

“Yeah, hi. What’s up?”

“Not much. Was just wondering if you’re up for a drink later, at the grill?”

“Mm, I’m not actually feeling too great today. Raincheck for another time?”

“Oh, really? That sucks.”

“Yeah, I think it’s just a typical common cold.” You clear your throat rather loudly. “Sorry.”

“Hey, no worries. Feel better okay?”

“I’ll try,” you chuckle, “see you later?”

“Let me know when you’re better. Bye.”

“Will do. Bye.”

Damon looks at Alaric, then Jo, and all three, horrified, stare down at Kai together.

The little troublemaker manages to smirk. “Still think I’m lying?”
