Hope and the Beast ( a Vampire Diaries fanfiction)

Chapter 7

He hurriedly opens every lock and rips the door open to find her lying on the ground, clutching her head. „Shit, Bonnie..." he breathes.

He knows exactly how bad she is hurting at the moment. He knows, since he is the one that installed the trap on his door. He did it so his dad couldn't get to him and he made it extra painful, so his dad wouldn't even get the thought to try and break in again.

In an instand, Hope and Damon were there. Damon pressing him to the wall, while Hope is kneeling beside Bonnie.

"Damon let him go. He didn't do anything." Bonnie breathes.

"It's the bobbytrap on my door...it lashed out on her when she used magic to get in my room." Kai grits out.

Damon lets go of Kai, who then slumps to the ground holding his throat. Damon helps Bonnie up and goes downstairs with her to get some water.

Hope stays on her spot, watching Kai closely while he stares down on his lap. She shuffles to him on her knees and pulls him into a hug.

His hands automatically push on her to let him go but she doesn't budge.

"I'm sorry." she says and he freezes.

"For anything. Everything you have witnessed...im sorry you had to live through that." she says and he is beyond confused but somehow those words took away some of the weight he had on his shoulders for all of his life.

His arms wrap around her tiny frame and he presses her to  is chest. His forehead presses into her shoulder and her hand goes into his hair. After a while her breathing picks up and she hurriedly pushes of him.

"I'm sorry." she says her hand covering her mouth but the black veins are clearly visible to him.

His hand goes to the side of her face and her eyes widen.

"How many times will you apologize today." he smiles and pulls her hand away from her mouth 

"you don't have to hide it from me. I'm the last person on earth to judge." he smiles sadly and she perfectly knows what he means by that.

"You're not a Freak. You're just...mad and disappointed for what people have put you through." she says. She presses her eyes shut and breathes three times and her veins disappear as do her fangs.

"I saw how they treated you..." she says hesitantly and he clenches his fist.

"My father treated me like crap for all my life..." he says and Hope nods her head.

"He never tried to understand...he only cared how to fix me." Hope shifts so she leans against the wall next to him while he talks.

"My twin Josie...the one that should be my other half, my soulmate, always looked away...she never even once tried to understand what was going through my head, while she was the perfect, cute little which that would make things float, making everyone clap and when she did mess up they would coo ‚aww Josie that's so cute'..." he rambles and mocks what they said and did.

"...and I was always running around like an little addict, fiending for his next hit, like I was on fire all the time. So they isolated me. Couldn't even touch anyone." He sniffles.

"When it happened the first time I didn't  even understand what was going on. And it scared the crap out of me..." Hope bites her lip remembering what the camera showed. Kai gives a loaded, breathy laugh.

"I thought the gloves I was forced to wear 24/7 were my biggest nightmare but fuck was I wrong...I underestimated my fathers creativity...and when Josie walked in one time...she blocked it out completely. She just looked through me sitting there and asked if she could have cookies while I was wrecked with shocks." he clenches his fist and Hope slides her head down to his shoulder.
