Sociopath

Family

The rest of that night was filled with smiles and giggles. We drank people until they dropped, we compelled some humans who weren't on vervain to become mass murderers a couple hundred miles out of town. We watched them commit crimes then killed them ourselves. We got high off of blood lust and were up all night, not getting tired.

"I could do this for ages." I smiled as we were walking down a sidewalk in a town right out of Mystic Falls. "You know, have fun like this. Being free and not caring."

"As could I. I must say Peirce, you are a lot more fun than your sister. I always was under strict rules with her, there were so many things I could and couldn't do. But with you it's like I could do anything."

"Stop the sweet talk Kai. I appreciate your admiration but I dont need it. Plus you shouldnt get into the habit of thinking highly of me, I'm a bad guy and unless that's what your craving you shouldnt be thinking of me like that. And if Kol or any of the Mikaelsons heard you talking this way to me, they'd probably rip your throat out." I chuckled as I shoved my hands into the pockets of my leather jacket.

"So... do you love him?"

"Who? Kol?"

"No, the fucking fence post." I looked up at him confused. "Yes Kol you dumbass." He smiled, slightly pushing me with his shoulder.

"I mean... yeah. I love him like I love the others. But if your talking about like a love love then no, I guess I dont."

"Then why are you with him?"

"Why does it matter?"

"Because I'm trying to understand you. You strike me as someone who can love someone like family too easily but doesn't love anyone... affectionately, passionately."

"Perhaps. But what's is matter. I'm under their control for the rest of my life, I've got to get used to it before I can even try to run from it."

He didnt care to respond.

"Why do you care so much? About my well being. Its not like you've known me for hundreds of years, its actually not like you know me really at all."

"Because you should have someone fighting for you- someone who you think of as more than just family." He stopped under a street light.

"Kai... I cant. Dont hurt yourself because your getting this idea about something that will never happen. No matter who I'm with family wise, there are others I need to watch over. I dont have the capability to look after you differently from the others, nor am I capable to love you like that."

"Why?"

"Because I cant think of you like that. The only reason I am remotely with Kol in that way is because I'm stuck with him for the rest of eternity. Plus I wouldnt want to hurt you because I don't know how to love someone."

"What makes you think I know either? Nez, I killed my family and was locked away for 15 years. You know the troubles I went through when I was younger, if anything you should be worried about me not being able to love you properly."

"Kai, I don't want to hurt you. Let's just drop this here, we need to head back to Mystic Falls. Liz is probably racking up the dead body count now and I have a very good chance of being spotted and followed right now. I just need to get Damon off my back and then I'm leaving. Feel free to come with me to the Salvatores house, I enjoy your company no matter where I go. But then you must stay there. You'll hurt yourself if you follow me elsewhere."

"Fine, Nerezza, I get it. You and me, not gonna happen." He smiled then took my hand then ran off to the Salvatores.

When we got there we snuck in, Damon and Stefan were sitting on the couch drinking bourbon as normal.
