I looked over to the other side of my bed as I woke up, squinting my eyes

"Oh God." I mumbled to myself as I saw Enzo lying there, and remembered the events of last night.

I quickly got up from my bed and grabbed some clothes, placing them on.

"Morning, love." I heard from behind me. "Where are you off to so soon?"

"Uh... Look, last night was a mistake." I said, softly as I tried not to upset him.

"Are you bloody joking me?" He questioned as he got up from the bed. "So, do you want to be with me or not? Because if the answer is 'no' then I am walking out that door and you'll never see me again."

"I-I... I don't know what I want." I told him, sincerely. "I love you... But you're bad for me and I'm trying so hard to be a good person, I can't let you screw that up for me. And you and Stefan don't exactly get along, I'm sorry Enzo but I have to put myself and my brother first."

Enzo didn't even say anything, he simply shoved his clothes on and left, making sure to slam the door on his way out.

"Hey guys. Found anything?" I asked Elena and Damon as I walked into the bar at Whitmore.

They had been there all night, studying Ric's textbooks. After I left yesterday, Kai showed up and destroyed the Ascendant. The only way we could get Bonnie back would be if we found another one.

"Nope." Elena sighed, rubbing her eyes as she was clearly exhausted.

Before I could say anything else, Elena's phone began buzzing.

"Hello." She said into the phone.

"Hey, have you seen Jo?" I heard Alaric question from the other end of the phone.

"No, not since yesterday." Elena told him.

"Why?" Damon and I questioned at the same time.

***

Jo had been missing all night and all day, no one had seen her and we were all becoming increasingly concerned.

"So I asked around the hospital." Elena announced as she walked into Ric's apartment. "No one has seen Jo since last night at the ER. A bunch of stab victims came in, and one of them is missing as well."

"It was Kai." Ric sighed. "Jo knew he'd come after her, and he did."

"Okay... So if you knew Jo's wack-job brother was out and after her, don't you think keeping an eye on her would've been smart?" I questioned and immediately received a glare from him and Elena.

"Yeah, if you knew she was in danger, why the hell did you let her go out alone?" Damon also question Rick.

"And what would you guys have had me do? Ask you to complete Jo to stay put?" Alaric scoffed as he shook his head.

"Guys." Elena said, gaining our attention. "If Kai has Jo, we need a plan."

"Plans easy." Damon smiled. "Find Kai-

"Kill Kai." I finished for him.

***

The only way Jo and Kai could merge would be if Jo had her magic back. Jo had put her magic in a knife, a long time ago. And when Damon, Stefan, Ric and I went to visit the Gemini's, Damon stole the knife. We thought we still had the knife but it appears Kai had stolen it.

After leaving Ric's apartment I had gotten a text from Damon to meet them at the cemetery, near the border.

"Hey." I said walking through the woods, towards Damon and Ric. "So what are we here for?"
