Merge Gone Wrong

Jerome rolled his eyes, banging harshly on the door as he supported Kai's weight against his side.

"Hey."  Kai mattered weakly as Alaric opened the door.

"Ah ah. Not so fast." Jerome used his hand which wasn't around Kai's waist to stop the door from slamming in their face, budging it open so they could speak to an annoyed Alaric.

"Look, I know you hate me, but I really, really need to see my sister." Kai swallowed, sweat beading down his forehead, Jerome being the only thing stopping him from falling over.

"And I suggest you say yes or I'll, uh, stab you in the eye." Jerome giggled slightly.

"What are you doing here?" Alaric opened the door fully as Jo came around the corner, glaring at her twin with a murderous expression. 

"I called to tell you I was sick and you hung up on me." Kai's expression looked like a puppy who had been kicked as he talked to his sister. Jerome didn't know if he wanted to laugh at the expression or murder someone as the expression belonged to Kai.

"That's because I have food poisoning. Did the sound of me vomiting on the other end of the line not clue you in?"

"Oo someone had their bitchy pills today." Jerome snorted, ducking slightly behind the door when Alaric stepped toward him threateningly.

"Look," Kai interviewed before anyone got hurt, "there's an issue I've been worried about since the merge, because we didn't really do it right. You know, the whole, 'you're not my twin, but hey that's okay, close enough' plan? But it worked, which is, you know, cool. Hey, I even a little bit nice now, in case you were wondering. "

"He is not kidding! We really need to get this fixed, I cant be the only psycho in town, that would be boring! On our way here he stopped me from running some old lady over, can you believe that?!" Jerome's eye widened comically as he leaned forwards as if he was telling some big secret, Alaric looking shocked and disgusted.

"But I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop, and well, I think its dropped. Because I'm-" Kai cut himself off, looking very sick as Jerome groaned annoyed.

"Ugh, not this again. Where's the bathroom? Ah too late." Jerome sighed, rolling his eyes as Kai jerked forward and vomited blood, clutching onto Jerome's arm for support.

"Oh god, Ric!"

"Here." Alaric passed him an empty vase to puke into as Jo covered her mouth in shock.

"I don't think you have food poisoning. I was supposed to merge my magic with you, but I got Luke's instead. Uh, now I'm defective, and I think that's why you're sick. I kind feel like I'm dying actually."

"You look it too." Jerome groaned out a laugh when Kai elbowed him in the stomach as he stood up for the comment.

"And if I die, so do you, dad, Liv and the rest of our dumb coven. So, could you please fix me? Like, now?"

"Any joint pain?" Kai mumbled his agreement from where he sat on the examination table, Jo shining a light in his eyes.

"Headaches?"

"Yup."

"Are you pregnant?"

Jerome gasped loud from where he leaned against the wall, pointing an causing finger at Kai, "are you cheating on me?!"

"Stop making jokes." Kai glared at the two of them whilst Alaric looked between them.

"You two are dating?!"

"Not now Ricky boy,I gotta go all Prince Charming and save my damsel siphoner from dying an excruciating death."

"I feel like I'm being scrunched from inside out." Kai rolled his eye at Jerome who simply winked back at him," this is kinda private, does your baby boo need to be here?"

"Does yours?" Jo snapped back as she continued to examine him.

"I'm not leaving her alone with you, so deal with it."

"Yeah, I kinda lack friends sooo...I'm just gonna stay here." Jerome spoke at the same time as Alaric.

"Okay, your vitals are fine. Your temperature is normal. I'll wait on pathology, but there's nothing medically wrong with you." Jo drawled out, her voice condescending.

"Duh, it's magical." Jerome rolled his eyes, his voice mocking her tone, "and you've not puked in-oh."

Kai cut Jerome off as he began to vomit blood, Jo hurriedly placing a trash bin under his mouth. Clutching onto her arm, he unknowingly began to siphon her magic as she groaned, Alaric rushing forwards to pull her away from him.

"Oh I feel better." Kai panted, sitting up straight.

"Yeah, because you juice boxed my magic!"

"Sorry, that was an accident. But I , wow I legitimately feel better." A look of realisation lit up Kai's face, "you need to give me your magic."

"What?" Jo questioned outraged.

"This faux merge is clearly failing because I was supposed to get your magic, right? I dunno, put it into a teddy bear or a bed pan or whatever and gimme."

Seeing Alaric move to grab Kai, Jerome darted forwards and placed his knife to Alaric's neck, effectively causing him to freeze in place.

"Now Jo Jo, you can either give Kai your magic so he's back to normal and we can leave orrr I could slice Ricky's throat, stab you and he will forcibly take you magic.  No pressure though, it's your choice." Jerome's grinned innocently, waiting for her reaction.

"Oh and hey, if you want more motivation, if I die then the prison worlds collapse, which means bye bye Bonnie." Kai stepped towards Jo expectantly.

"I'm sorry, did you say prison worlds? As in more than one?"

"Oh, has no one mentioned that yet?" Kai mockingly smiled at Alaric.

Jo huffed, storming out of the room with Alaric on her tail.

"Jeez, someone pissed in their cheerios." Jerome giggled, helping Kai sit back on the table, jumping up to sit next to him.

"Let's do this." Jo announced as she reentered the room with Alaric.

"Me, our coven and the prison worlds thank you." Kai sighed happily, walking over to Jo whilst Jerome sat cross legged on the table bored.

"What exactly is this other prison world?"

"A place filled with crappy people like me, I'm sure." Kai grinned at Alaric before turning back to his sister, "congrats, you're saving their miserable lives from oblivion. Oh, don't look so stressed. You never liked being a witch anyway."

"Shut up." Jo shook Kai's hands off her face when he pinched her cheeks, placing her own palms on his face as she began to chant. Light flooded the room, surrounding the two siblings as a wind blew harshly, knocking papers from Jo's desk.

"It's done." Jo muttered, out of breath as the wind and light died down.

"Thank you. And congratulations." Kai sighed relieved, leaning in to whisper something ineligible into her ear, pulling back to see her surprised face, "have a good life, sissy."

"What did ya say to make Jo Jo all spooked?" Jerome skipped along with Kai as they exited the building.

"Sissy is having twins."

"Oo this just got interesting."  Jerome burst into laughter, throwing his head back as he considered what was to come.
