Hope and the Beast ( a Vampire Diaries fanfiction)

Chapter 11

Red.

All he saw was red, when he should be euphoric. He got out of that shit hole. He should be partying, get shit-faced but instead he is scrolling through the internet. In search for someone out of his  crappy family.

First he tries Josette Parker.
Nothing.

Then he tries Joshua Parker, but the paranoid piece of crap totally made sure there is nothing about him on the internet.

He has no luck with Lucas and olivia either and he snaps.
In full rage, he rips out the keyboard. Alarmed students look at him. Some look pissed, other confused.

He walks out of the library and goes to search for a bar. He needs some booze.

He walks for about 10 minutes until he sees a place called "mystic grill".
He walks through the door and sits down at the bar.

The girl working is a curly blond. Her back is turned to him while she cleans up the Glases.

"Liv! Can you bring two beers to table nine?!" A co worker asks her, walking to the back of the grill.

"Sure!" She says and pulls out two beer Glases. She turns around and nearly jumps out of her skin.

"Whoa. Didn't hear you arrive. Sorry. I'll be with you in a minute."
She says with a smile.

She walks off and Kai can't help but look after her. Something is familiar about her. She clearly has a magical energy that he has felt once before. Only it was weaker back then, still emerging. 'Liv....liv...liv...' he tries the name in his mind. A smirk grows on his face.

"Liv...how ironic." He mumbles to himself.

"Hey, sorry. What can I get you?" She asks with he bright smile, leaning against the bar.

"Yeah, No worries. Hmm....let's see.
No bourbon. I'm secure enough in my masculinity. Vodka's boring, rum's too tropical. Oh, tequila. You do not want to see me on tequila." He chuckles, breaking of his little monologue. "What about gin? Is that weird?" He concludes and looks at the girl.

"Not if you're a fifty-year-old, but seeing as you look like nineteen, I need to see some ID." She tells him.

"Oh, of corse, oooof corse." He breathes. He lightly slaps the counter and stands up to pull his wallet out of his back-pocket. He gives her his ID and watches her face as she reads it.

A smile forms on her face again and a grin spreads over his own face.

"1972. Nice try." She says and gives him his ID back.

"No, true story. But that's not the most interesting thing about that ID." He tells her and looks in her eyes.

"Here, look again." He ads and gives her the ID again.
"Name. Adress...." He ads.

"Malachai Parker." She reads out loud and fear sets on her face. She tries to run but he grabs her arm and siphons her.

Liv cries out in pain.

"Last time I saw you...I wanted to kill you. Why don't we pick up where we left off?" He asks her.

"I don't think so."  She grits and stabs a knife into his shoulder.

He grunts in pain and lets her go.
Liv takes of and runs up the stairs.

Kai pulls the knife out and heals his wound with the magic he stole. He follows her up the stairs and sees her push tables between them with magic.

"You always were bad at hide and seek. Then again, you were four." He goes into thought.
"Still. Find a better hiding spot." He ads and takes a step towards her.
