Destroy me - KAI PARKER

56. || Dead or Alive

My heavy eyes opened, causing me to feel that familiar pain in my neck. Oh hell- What happened to me? Just as I was about to get up, I heard some aggressive whisperes at the side of my bed

"We can't tell her Bonnie-!"

"You're acting like you don't know your own sister! If we don't tell her she'll find it out on her own."

"At least spare her for now."

I furrowed my brows. What were they talking about? And why were they in my room in the first place? What the hell happened last night? The second I closed my eyes to remember the previous night, I felt the pain drain my body once again.
But that didn't last long.
Pain would sooner or later turn into anger.

Without listening any further to Bonnie and Enzos fight, I got out of my bed and ran downstairs to leave this house and kill Rebekah Mikaelson.

"Layla!"

I ignored my brothers desperate calls for me and sprinted down the stairs just to bump into Stefan. He looked at me with compassion in his eyes. He was just about to hug me when I used the chance to slip away from him and walk towards the front door.

"Damon! Don't let her get away!"

And just as I was one step away from running out the Mansion, Damons strong grip on my arm prevented me from leaving.

Despite all my wriggling and scratching, Damon did not loosen his grip around my body. My old friend carried me into the living room and dropped me off on a chair. Enzo stared down at me with anger burning in his brown eyes, but I couldn't care less about him or the others. The only thing that mattered to me was slaughtering that blonde whore.

"What do you think you're doing?!"

Enzo yelled, causing Bonnie and Elena to flinch a
little.

"I'm going to gut that cunt."

"You mean Rebekah? Rebekah Mikaelson?!"

I got off the chair and stared into my brothers eyes. With the rage inside of me it wouldn't surprise me if I would knock him out to get my plans going.

"Yes Rebekah Mikealson! What is your problem?!"

"My problem is that you are my sister! I will not sit here and watch you go on a suicide trip!"

"You can't-"

"Yes I can! I'm your brother and you're gonna listen! You can't take an original on your own you know that damn well Odessa. If you want to kill yourself here take this-"

My brother pushed a wooden dagger in my palm, causing my mouth to open in shock.

"But you're not pathetic enough to go there and lose a fight. You are a St. John, with or without Kai.
If you go there you'll go there to kill Rebekah, not yourself."

I sat back down on the red chair and went silent. No one was a fan of the tension in the room, but I didn't care enough to do something against it. The only thing I saw was Kai laying on my lap covered in blood. I was hearing his voice in my head, over and over again.

Once again, tears started flowing over my red cheeks. I didn't want to show my friends how badly I was suffering but I just couldn't. It wasn't possible for me to act all normal after I lost my person.
And even if our story had a rough start and some time outs- I still loved him.

I have never experienced this kind of love in 170 years on earth. This love made me pray, this love made me cry, but most importantly- this love made me forgive.

"Layla?"

I glanced over to Caroline who was holding a cup of tea on her hands. She smiled a little and handed me the white cup.

"Where is he?"

My brother looked at me and sighed. If they left him there I would give a fuck about Enzo and storm the Mikaelson mansion to get his body back.

"We don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know?! How can you lose a dead man?"

As soon as I spoke my sentence, I looked into a lot of confused faces. They all exchanged a glare before Stefan finally broke the silence;

"Layla.. Kai isn't dead."

My heart felt like it was beating again. I was drawn to Stefans lips and waited for him to continue his sentence.

"After you passed out last night.. Kai regained consciousness. Rebekah gave him her blood."

A ton of weight was lifted off my shoulders when I realized that Kai was alive. He was a heretic now, but he was alive. What more could I wish for?
I sighed in relief and looked over to my brother, who didn't seem as relieved as I did. A glance at my friends showed me that none of them seemed calm about these supposedly good news.

"What? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"Layla.."

Caroline began and took a step towards me. I just knew by the tone of her voice that the story didn't end with a new heretic amongst us.

"When Kai got up and saw you laying there, he.. He snapped. He thought Rebekah killed you and as soon as he drank some blood.."

Care struggled to get out the last bit of the story, causing me to dig my red nails into the soft fabric of the chair. I looked over to Damon who sighed and finally spit out what I wanted to know so badly;

"He turned it off."
