Kai didn't think you'd run against him after he technically assaulted you in his office. He thought you would fear him, knowing what he was capable of, and knowing now that he wasn't afraid to show that to you.
He sat in his parent's basement, his eyes scanning across the monitor of his computer. He was on facebook, working on his campaign, trying to further promote himself across Brookfield Heights. His eyes narrowed as he scanned over the newest council post, and then widened when he realised what it said. He almost punched the screen seeing a proud, smiling photo of you front and centre, pinned to the council's page.
Everything about you was so unbearable, but he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat seeing your face. Ignoring the feeling, he skimmed through the post that was announcing a new candidate for council, paired with a list of your policies.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" He muttered to himself, equal rights? Securing a living wage for all people? Climate change?
He almost threw up from how progressive and stupid everything was- did you really think you could make a change with all that?
"Winter!" Kai called out to his sister, who after a minute, came running down the stairs to be of service.
"Yes Kai?" She asked wearily, noticing her brother's heated tone and the way his teeth were grit and his jaw was locked.
"Read this bullshit and then get everyone to come down here, obviously killing Sally Kefler wasn't enough," he muttered, pushing himself in his wheeled desk chair to give Winter the room to crouch down by the monitor and read the post.
In her head, she was pleased at the opponent's policies, so happy to see that there was a candidate that actually cared about everyone's quality of life. Winter was never a firm believer in her brother's views, but since he was all she had, she had no choice but to stick by his side. They were blood, and nothing could come between that, even Kai's cult.
The photo peaked her interests, noticing that you were the girl that caused a riot at Kai's rally earlier in the week, and also the girl that handed her a flyer that she accepted outside her favourite vegan cafe.
"Right," Winter got up from her knees and walked back towards the stairs, "I'll call everyone."
She was hoping that her brother wouldn't try and hurt you, but she also knew hoping that was pointless, because that's what he did; he never won anything fairly.
The meeting commenced shortly after, everyone gathering in a circle on small fold-our chairs and peering at each-other curiously.
"Everyone," Kai started, lacing his fingers together and resting them in his lap, "I'm afraid we have more competition we must eliminate."
The group was getting tired of culling Kai's completion, but seeing as it was the only way for him to become councilman, it was almost a weekly mandatory occurrence.
"This is Y/N, my opposing candidate for council," Kai sets his laptop in his lap, and turns it around so the screen was on display to the rest of the group. Most eyebrows shot up in interest, some recognising your face from town hall.
"And thanks to Jack," Kai points his outstretched arm in the direction of his devoted follower, "we have an address."
"So, what are you suggesting Kai?" Beverley speaks up, her arms crossed over her chest as she cocks her head to the side in question.
Kai lets out a maniacal laugh, closing his laptop and setting it back down to the side.
"We get rid of her, of course."

You were totally consumed with your campaign for council you hardly had enough time to think about anything else. Even when you were brushing your teeth in the morning, you were practicing a winning smile, and the way you'd speak in front of the camera for your upcoming news interview.
