CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

"You're in a good mood for the first time this decade. Stop that," Bonnie told Damon as he whistled out of tune.

They were walking inside a forest towards the

Damon grinned, "I have a hot date with my girl tonight."

"Yeah, assuming Kai's telling the truth."

"I'm thinking dinner and a movie. You know what? Screw dinner and the movie, skip straight to the good part."

"Yeah and assuming I can do the spell, which I won't know until I see it."

Damon frowned, "What happened to hope, Bon? Remember when I was all like, "boo, grr," And you were all "hooray, hooray. We're getting out of here!"

"Look. I want to go home more than anything, but Kai's a sociopath. Who's to say he won't screw us over?"

"Me. I say because I will kill Kai and anyone who comes in the way of me going home."

Just then, Kai followed by Margot and Nik walked towards them. "I heard my name. All good I hope," He glanced up at the sky, "The eclipse will happen directly overhead in perfect alignment with the Gemini constellation. You need to dig into the tunnels below us. We'll do the spell there."

"Why?" Bonnie asked in a harsh tone.

"Have you never portal jumped through an eclipse before? Ok. Look. The light of the eclipse will shine down and activate the ascendant. You spout a little witchy woo, and then poof! Anyone standing in the circle of light holding the ascendant goes home."

"By witchy woo, I assume you mean the spell. Let me see it."

Kai shook his head, "When the time comes," before kissing Margot's cheek and walking away.

"Where are you going?"

"Into town. I need to gather some important supplies."

An hour later and Damon was still digging a hole into the ground, grunting every now and then.

"Hey! You know there's a very probable chance you're digging your own grave and... not bothered."

Margot sighed from her seated position beside the witch, "Kai isn't going to kill us. I already told him you two are off limits so stop worrying."

Damon grunted, "And why can't you help me dig this hole?"

"I'm pregnant and Nik is my emotional support. Now get digging, I'd like to go home relatively soon."

"Huh," They heard Kai say as he walked towards them with a backpack, "Looks like I got back just in time," He said just as Damon broke through the ground which revealed a cave underneath.

The Salvatore sped to Kai before grabbing his bag and going through the contents, "Zima, grunge, every Alex Rodriguez rookie card in demand, and a pager. Really?"

"555-hiya-kai. No way I'm giving those digits up."

Margot chuckled, "These were the important supplies you had to get?"

Kai nodded, "Look. The future sounds great, all right? I'm super excited about the internet, but 1994 has been my home for most of my life. I'd hate to get homesick. So let's get down there."

Bonnie shook her head as she stood up, "No. We are not going anywhere until you show me the spell."

"Okay..." Kai said with a smile.

Damon stared at the silent man in confusion, "Are we literally not going anywhere?"

"Fine. You don't want to show me the spell, then you can do it yourself. You want my magic. Take it."
