I wasn't exactly a friend of Kai, he had protected me often and I don't know why. He hated Elena and I was Elena's friend, I had assumed that instead of protecting me he'd kill me... or try to.

I'd be caught in the crossfire and instead of killing my friends he'd always save me, I just couldn't think of a reason why. I was like my friends, a vampire although I was maybe a couple of years older than them it didn't make me any different.

Damon had always protected me, given I was one of his oldest friends but Kai, he was a whole new level. No one could touch me and if they could he would put them through an eternity of pain and suffering in just five minutes.

"Damon" I mumble looking around the house "Where is Kai?" I ask "he had some psycho killing spree booked for the next ten minutes." Damon mumbles, he had been sitting around waiting for Elena to get back from College.

Sitting down next to him "Well, I guess that makes us both lonely" folding my arms "you ever wonder why Kai protects you all the time, it's kinda of creepy." Damon says turning his head to face me.

"I mean yeah sometimes but like it's Kai he always does stuff without reason, he also merged with Luke gaining emotions so it could be that." I shrug, I hadn't thought of it much, I just accepted that he'd protect me until the day he dies.

"it's just weird, this psychotic guy only cares about one person in the world and kills everyone else..." Damon says "thats cheap" Elena says swinging the door open and Damon runs over to her picking her up and spinning her around before kissing her.

"what's cheap" Kai says walking through the door "why did you two come together?" Damon says putting Elena down before looking between the both of them "Well, Kai suggested that he'd come pick me up so he could come kill Stefan." Elena said "haha funny, seriously Elena why is he here?" Damon says.

"don't be so rude Damon." I cross my arms standing up, Kai turns to face me and waves "Hi Kai" I smile "Why are you here though? What happened to the killing spree." I ask him and he rolls his eyes "I didn't have the heart to kill Josie or Liv, this stupid merge with Luke has ruined every." he mumbles.

"Then I saw Elena and assumed that she needed a ride home, so I stole a car and here we are." He says swinging his arms in the air "fantabulous" I smile.

"I'm going for a walk" I say walking off "So you don't want to hang out?" Kai asks "not really." smiling at him I walk past him, Elena and Damon.

He jogs up behind me "you're not worried of who could kill you?" he asks in a slightly concerned tone "why would i when i have the gemini coven leader" I mock him "haha funny" he mumbles.

"I'm serious, your timing is impeccably scary." I look at him as we walk down the long driveway "the only thing im worried of is how a 53 year old can still walk around without back pain." I say jokingly and he chuckles.

"i've never heard you laugh" I say looking at his side profile and he continues to walk "well I only laugh when I find my siblings and rip out their livers, spleens." he shrugs.

"you never fail to make my stomach turn, and not in the good way." I say as we reach the end of the driveway. Mystic Falls wasn't my home, I lived here sure but there were many other places I had lived in my 328 years of living.

"Well, well, well Mystic Falls" he dusts his hands off, a lady walks by and with the raise of his hand, her leg snaps aswell as her neck "oops" he says covering his mouth because he was laughing.

Turning towards the town centre people walk by, only few of them living at the hand of 'the great leader', "why haven't you killed me, you could easily do it." I mumble, Damon's words repeating in my mind.

"Because it's funny watching you drown in self-pity" he laughs as we walk into a store and he grabs roasted almonds "although i don't doubt that, what's the real reason?" I ask him, following him around the store as he walks out with a pack of almonds and chips.

"because i don't feel like killing the only person who enjoys my company" he rolls his eyes as we walk towards Mystic Falls Highschool walking into the gym "now why are we here?" I had so many questions.

"The person I'm suppose to kill is suppose to be here, in a few minutes" he smiles ripping the bag of chips open, stuffing his face.

I sit opposite to him and he places the bag of chips dow rubbing his hands together "a penny for your thoughts, sunshine." he says with a grin "you're lying, why don't you kill me. If it was my last wish to be killed by you, I know you won't do it because I enjoy your company, why wont you do it?" I lean towards him.

He stares me dead in the eye before sighing "and how did my walk turn into ur stakeout" I mumble. He sighs before sitting back, the grin on his face disappearing "now isn't the time, I think Luke wants to come out." he clears his throat "that's no excuse" I say, my index finger raising at him.

Looking down at his ring, he begins to play with it anxiously. This behaviour certainly wasn't the confident, cocky Kai I've known for a few years, then he looked down.

"listen, i've lost a lot of people in my life, given i killed them, but, i learned how to deal with it...you're different. i can't take it if it's you." he mutters under his breath, and I almost couldn't hear it until he looked back up at me.

Someone bursts through the door and without a word he stands up clenching his fist and a head came off, of course this didn't surprise me. The Kai Parker I knew would have gone for a more painful less quick method, I suppose he was flustered and wanted to do something to make it less awkward.

"you're different" I say as he spins around, the blood splatter was on his face as he licked his lips. "how am I different? you're the one being different." he says waving his arms at me.

"why can't you take it if it's me, I could take it if it was you." I shrug "ouch thanks" he says walking off "no that's not a passage to leave" I grab his hand and he recoils at my touch.

"fine, ever since this stupid merge, I've been feeling things, things I don't want to, I resent it. I was fine with any of Luke's qualities besides the fact that he felt things, now look at me." he says waving his arms up and down my body.

"I'm a sociopath, with feelings, and I can't even think of killing someone who I barely know yet I could think about killing my sisters, all the time." he says before walking off.

"what does it mean? what are you feeling." I ask him and he continues to walk "Malachai?" I say and he stops "you're 53 years old, you still hate your siblings eve if your the coven leader yet you can't kill a measly vampire when you killed your whole coven..." I say in disbelief.

"I don't believe some feelings would prevent you from killing me..." I continue and he spins around slowly "well it's true, you don't need to believe me. I don't want to feel this way, I'm sure it will go away." he looks down "how long?" I ask him "what?" I ask.

"how long have you realised you couldn't kill me." my lips dry as he eyes me up and down "i'd always thought about killing you, maybe in a less brutal way... before the merge. Now, I don't even like seeing you in danger, in fact, I hate it more than anything in the world. I just don't know why." he says.

"do you want to kill me." I state, even though it wasn't a statement at all it was more of a question, "of course I don't" he says.

"you're so different, and I didn't even notice."
