"You know stealing is bad right?" Kai asked as he got comfortable in the passenger seat of the car that you had him acquire.
"My car was back at my apartment." You mumbled as you pulled out of the gas station and continued on the road that Kai had pointed out,
"That doesn't make it better, how did you know that I wouldn't just kill that guy?" He asked.
"I didn't," you answered honestly, not really thinking about what he was saying.
"You trust me too much." He smiled as he leaned over, poking at her cheek "why is that?"
"Because you pretend that you don't want a friend or family but you do, that's why you're so angry at Bonnie, why you want her dead. She ruined everything for you." You explained and he leaned back away from you.
"Your projecting." He mumbled.
"I'm actually not angry at either one of them anymore." You answered, "where are we going?"
"We need to get to Portland, I can drive you know." He said.
"Yeah, you can drive when I get tired." You informed him as you pulled over to the side of the road to set up the sat nav.

"We have to go find her!" Enzo was the one to speak first after Damon explained everything that he had heard on the phone.
"We don't know where they are," Bonnie said. "I can try a locator spell but Kai will likely put up a barrier spell."
"Can you try?" Elena asked and Bonnie nodded, she stood ready to leave. "Do we know what they were looking for?"
"Looking for?" Enzo asked, "how do you know that they were looking for something."
"She left after the training with me and Stefan, she was frustrated because nothing seemed to be working, she suggested talking to Kai about what he knows," Damon explained.
"Knows?" Enzo asked.
"Are you serious? Have you been paying attention at all?" Stefan asked. "The fox spirit..."
"Why would she go to him instead of us?" Enzo asked.
"She did come to us, you just had your claws so far in the little witch to realize that she needed our help," Damon answered as he turned to get a drink "so go with your little witch and see if you can find our tricky little fox."

"They're probably looking for you by now," Kai said as he looked over at you.
"Do you expect me to believe that you haven't already made that impossible?" You asked as you glanced at him quickly.
"Alright you got me, there's a barrier spell up but knowing BonBon she'll figure something out," Kai answered and you nodded. "You should pull over and we can change over, you've been driving for hours."
"Mm." You hummed as you looked over to see if there was somewhere to pull over, there was a small parking lot that you could pull into to swap over. Once you were happy Kai started on the journey again and you leaned your head back, your eyelids fluttering as you fought against sleep.
"I'm not going to hurt you, you can go to sleep." He muttered. "She wouldn't let me hurt you even if I wanted to."
"She hasn't been able to do anything for the past couple of weeks." You mumbled but he could tell that he was losing you to sleep.
"You underestimate how strong you are in comparison," Kai said softly as he turned down the radio and stayed quiet after that.

The Mystic Falls gang had been running around like a bunch of headless chickens trying to find some kind of clue to where you were but you really didn't want to be found. "We aren't going to find her," Elena said as she sat down next to Damon.
"She is a rather tricky fox," Damon mumbled.
"What if he hurts her?" Elena asked.
"If he wanted to hurt her, she would have been dead when she answered the phone to me, I don't know why he's helping her but it can't be good." Damon frowned as downed the last of his drink. "We'll find her."

You followed Kai through the forest "you seem to know this place well." You explained.
"I grew up in a house at the edge of the forest I spent a lot of time here," Kai answered as he gestured in the direction that you assumed his house was in,
"Are you going to tell me how you know about all of this?" You asked.
"Well, you know how much I hate my family, well they seem to forget that I still saw what they did, I heard what they said even if they refused to acknowledge me when I was a kid there was a family that came to us, they knew that we were a coven, they had a little girl with her, they kept talking about how they wanted her to be normal but I could feel the power coming off of her in waves," Kai explained. "The girl was you, that's how I knew that you had the power, your parents had it sealed when you were little, to most witches it would feel like you were normal but to syphoners like me who look for even the smallest amount of magical energy I could feel that she was still with you," Kai explained.
"So why are we out here, shouldn't we be going to your family?" You asked.
"They're not here anymore, but even if they were they wouldn't tell me anything, so it's lucky that I know everything that I need to," Kai said as he walked towards the clearing, he gestured for you to go first but he seemed to linger at the edge.
"Are you okay?" You asked.
"Mmm." He hummed as he looked around as if he was waiting for something. "No, it's fine... Do you feel anything?"
"No I do- Wait..." You stopped as you looked around "what is that?"
"Follow the feeling." Kai encouraged you. "My coven was very good at hiding things, they were the ones that split the body and the spirit of the fox, they hid the body here somewhere." He explained.
"How did you know that it's out here?" You asked.
"You know my family did this so they would have kept it somewhere that they could keep an eye on, they never wanted me near it either." He explained. "My father was paranoid that meant that it had to be close to the house, somewhere that he could get to."
"So what now?" You asked.
"Find her." He shrugged, leaning against the tree. "I have time, I'll wait."

"They're in Portland," Bonnie said as she walked into the room where Elena and Damon were literally watching the phone.
"Where he grew up?" Elena asked. "We'll never get there in time."
"We have to try," Damon said as he grabbed his car keys and Elena followed him out.
"We'll come with you." Bonnie stepped forward.
"It's probably better that you guys stay here, we don't know what he's done to her and the last time that he was here he wanted you dead."Damon dismissed her before grabbing Elena and heading off.

When they finally got to you, they could feel the power coming out of the forest in waves. "What is that?" Elena asked.
"Your friend." They both looked to the side and saw that Kai was leaning against a tree. "She's been talking to the fox for hours now, you guys are the only ones who aren't here to kill her."
"What are you talking about?" Damon asked, Kai pointed behind him and it was then that they realized that there was blood on his hands.
"Who's blood is that?" Elena asked.
"As I said loads of people have come here to kill her, she's strong, dangerous to most creatures out there," Kai answered.
"Kai!" They all heard you yelling and given that they were all vampires, they appeared in front of you with seconds of the name leaving your name.

Kai wasn't there when you opened your eyes and as much as you found him annoying the whole day, you didn't like the idea that something could have happened to him, there was blood everywhere "Kai!" You called out hoping that he would answer.

"Are you okay?" Kai asked, he was standing on the edge of the clearing again, you sighed in relief when you heard his voice.
"(Y/N)!" Elena called as she ran into the centre of the clearing looking at you.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"I'm fine." You answered.
"We should go home, you can explain everything there," Elena suggested.
"Fine but Kai knows more about all of this than I do, he has to come with us if you want a full explanation." You said as you looked at him.
"Yeah no." Damon denied and you rolled your eyes.
"Well I'm going back with him, you can come and find us." You muttered as you stood up and walked towards him, Kai looked at you surprised. "We still need to talk about something on the way back, something you never told me."
"We do?" He asked.
"Let's go." You gestured for him to follow you, Kai shrugged before following after you leaving your friends confused and slightly worried.
