Insanity

Breaking Point

"Common Kai, you're the all powerful witch, how do you plan to get us the hell out of here? We still need to give your coven and my sister a painful death." Jerome clutched his stomach tighter as Kai worked his magic to try and get the blood flow to stop before he bled to death.

"I can't!" Kai snapped, growing frustrated as he struggled to save Jerome. After being betrayed by Bonnie and seeing Jerome close to death, his emotions were on the breaking point, anything could cause him to snap.

"Well ya got us here."

" I had Bonnie to help, I don't have enough magic on my own to do this, especially not from inside the prison world and all I have to help me is a group of dead vampires!"

"Then siphon me, get the hell out of here and murder my sissy for me...oh and Bonnie."  Jerome's chuckled slightly, his face pale white.

"That would kill you." Kai froze at the idea.

"Well duh."

"No, we'll find another way." Kai closed his eyes and shook his head determined.

"Why? What other way? I'm already dying-ha-might as well get it over with. Always did want to go out with a bang. Third times the charm, right?" Jerome chuckled, blood seeping past his cracked lips as he spoke.

"Because I care about you okay?! Wish I could blame these stupid emotions, but I have since I met you and that's not normal for me. Okay? For the first time in my life I actually are about someone and I'm not gonna let you die." A tear rolled down Kai's face as he clenched his jaw shut.

"How sentimental."

"This isn't a joke, Jerome."

"Everything's a joke, Kai, I learned that a long time ago. If you're waiting me to profess my undying love to you, that ain't gonna happen. I do like ya though, which is strange. I look at your face and instead of wanting to rip it off, I wanna kiss it, which is new. So do me a favour, stop the gooey feely nonsense, siphon me and murder them all."

"You're insane." Kai shook his head, leaning forward and grabbing Jerome's face, pulling him into a final kiss.

Jerome's body jerked as their lips glowed red, the magic being sucked out of him into Kai. A long cut appeared on Jerome's neck, as if he had been stabbed. The stitches on his face faded until there were no blemishes, his skin looking as it did before he was resurrected for the first time. Putting everything into the kiss, Jerome collapsed, Kai catching him before he could hit the ground.

"I won't let you die." Kai ground his teeth, putting pressure on Jerome's neck as he swayed in and out of consciousness, starting to chant with the ascendant. A moment later they were in the present in Mystic Falls, sat on the forest floor with Kai cradling Jerome to his chest.

Looking up to see the Boarding House in the distance, Kai's eyes darkened as he stood, carrying a barely alive Jerome.

"Who's there?" A female voice rang through the room, her head turning in all i reactions as she looked for the intruder.

"Hello Mama Salvatore, my friend here really needs some blood." Appearing behind her, Kai magically snapped her neck.

Gently setting Jerome on the floor, he grabbed a knife and sliced open Lily's hand, letting her blood drip into Jerome's mouth.

"DRINK!" Growing frustrated when Jerome stopped moving, he grabbed the temporarily dead vampire, holding her above Jerome as he sliced her neck open, letting blood gush onto him and into his open mouth.

Seeing he slight movement, the slight swallow, Kai almost cried in relief. Throwing her to the side, Kai jumped to Jerome's side, feeling for a pulse as his wounds healed.

"No." Shaking his head in denial, Kai desperately felt for a pulse again, placing his head on Jerome's chest to listen to his unmoving heart.

"No!" Falling backwards, Kai stared wide eyed at the body, tears running from his eyes at a steady rate but he didn't care.

Jerome was dead.

Jerome was dead. Kai snapped.
