Emily Ashworth is just getting settled into college, making new friends, when all of sudden her entire life changes. Who would have thought, the town sociopath would be the one to help her through everything when she needed it most...

It had been a few months since Kai was banished to another prison world by the Gemini Coven. Most of that time, Emily had spent holed up at the Salvatore house, researching ways to get him out. She had missed lots of college and had been pretty distant from her friends. Bonnie and Damon were stood in the kitchen having yet another heated argument about the situation. "Absolutely no way is he going to be let out of this prison world. He's back where he belongs Bonnie! You know that better than anyone." Damon huffed at her, gulping down a glass of Bourbon. "I know Damon, but you can see how much this is killing her. She feels bad that she got away and he didn't. If he hadn't warned her to run, she would have been stuck over there too and we would have been doing everything in our power to get her back. All I'm saying is, we can at least help her try and figure this out." "There's no way she can even make a connection. She doesn't have the Ascendant. His psycho Dad has that, and there's no way any of us are going anywhere near him or that coven." Bonnie sighed. That was a huge factor in them not being able to do a damn thing to help. They needed the Ascendant and a celestial event.
"Actually. I think I've found a way of getting around that...." They looked up to see Emily stood there, placing her laptop down on the counter. She looked tired. Beyond tired. She looked completely exhausted. One of the perks of being an empath, she couldn't bare the idea of Kai being stuck over there alone yet again. He'd already endure 18 years on his own. "I've been doing some research into my coven." "The Aurora Coven?" Bonnie asked, perching herself on one of the barstools next to Emily. "Yeah. So the Aurora Coven and the Gemini Coven it turns out have quite the history. The story Joshua told us about a war between two covens... it was between THOSE two covens. The Aurora Coven were completely against sending Kai to a prison world. So much so that they tried to get him out. They believed he deserved a fair trial and punishment like any normal person would have. This didn't go down well at all with the Geminis and they attacked whilst the Auroras were gathered one night trying to reverse the spell. The only one left was me..." she stared off into space for a few seconds, deep in thought. She still couldn't wrap her head around the fact that she was the only witch of her kind in existence.
"Okay, so what exactly does this have to do with being able to get Kai out of this prison world?" Damon asked impatiently. He couldn't care less if Kai never got out, but he could see the effect this was having on Emily. If he got out, they would deal with him then. "Well, it turns out us Auroras have pretty awesome powers. Not only can we draw on our emotions, we can also tap into celestial events and use that energy to cross over to a prison world, without an Ascendant." Bonnie and Damon both stared at Emily. "We can get Kai back! All we need is a celestial event, and we can do it!" "Just one problem.... I'm going to assume he's probably still knocking around in Portland? He'd have no need to head to Mystic Falls. So how exactly would you pull him out? You wouldn't have enough time to travel to Portland and back to get him." Emily sighed. Damon was right. "I can call him!" "Call him?" Damon questioned. Completely confused by her response. "Yes. On the phone. Or, actually, get him to call me." She pondered. "How exactly will he call you? Firstly, he's in a prison world. We can't call from this world to a prison world. Secondly, how will he even know how to call you? I know you're getting desperate Emily but you're kind of clutching at straws here. "555-HIYA-KAI" Bonnie said quietly. "Huh?" Emily questioned, looking at her friend in confusion. "His pager? I mean... it's worth a try. But would it still work??" Damon said, quirking an eyebrow. "It's worth a try. If we can get over there and get him to call us, we can get him to head to Mystic Falls and pull him back out with us in a couple of days time!" Emilys smile was lighting up her entire face now. 'Okay.. Lets do this then..." Damon said hesitantly.
