Emily closed the front door behind her and smiled, closing her eyes and leaning back against it. "What was that all about then?" She heard Damons voice in front of her and opened her eyes to see him stood there. "Nothing, Kai just brought me home from the party thats all." Emily shifted anxiously. "I'd better get to bed. I'm really tired." She started walking past Damon, up the stairs. As she walked next to him, he grabbed hold of her arm, and pulled her towards him, speaking quietly in her ear. "He's bad news Emily. You don't want to involved in that world, trust me." She shook him off and carried on up the stairs. Damon knew. It probably wouldn't be long before the others all knew as well. And she really didn't care.
The next morning, Emily woke to the sun shining through her bedroom window. She must have forgotten to draw the curtains before she fell asleep last night. She was so exhausted, physically and emotionally, by the time she got home. She remembered her run in with Damon last night, but tried not to let it bother her. Looking outside, the sun was shining and looked like it was going to be a beautiful, warm spring day. She pulled on a pair of denim shorts and a t-shirt, scraping her hair up out of her face. She glanced at herself in the mirror and smiled. Today was going to be a good day.
She walked down the stairs and into the kitchen where Damon, Elena and Stefan were all sitting. She could tell they had been talking but stopped when she walked in. She smiled at them, and walked over to where the hot pot of coffee was, pouring herself a cup. She took a sip and let out a soft sigh. She hadn't felt this alive in a long time. "Emily..." She heard Elena's gentle voice behind her and looked over in her direction. "Elena..." She replied, smiling. "We really need to talk to you about Kai." She knew it wouldn't be long before this conversation would come up. She hoped it wouldn't be quite this soon. Emily took a deep breath and sat next to her friend. "Elena, I...." Damon quickly cut Emily off. "We need you to talk to him about helping us with something." He said. Emily looked at him confused for a few seconds, then he raised his brows at her, confirming he hadn't said anything about last night. "Oh, okay. I guess I can do that. What did you need him to do?" "Well, it turns out, before Bonnie managed to escape the prison world, she had a run in with my Mummy dearest..." Damon continued. "Your mother? But... how? Bonnie was in 1994. Didn't your Mother die before you even became a vampire?" "That's what we thought. Turns out she's been stuck in another prison world all this time.... lots of weird confusing prison world witchy woo stuff involved, but yea, turns out my Mother did NOT die in 1858." "Oh...." Emily wasn't sure what to say. Damon and Stefan had gone this long thinking their mother had died, and now they find out she's still alive and stuck in a prison world somewhere. "So, what do you need Kai for?" She asked. "Kai, being the now all powerful Gemini coven leader, will be able to transport us to the prison world to bring back our mother, the same way you did with him." Emily stood deep in thought for a few seconds before Damon continued... "And no, before you think you'll be able to do it, you can't. We've already looked into it and it HAS to be a Gemini leader that does it." "Why? What makes it so different?" She asked. "It just is. We don't know all the logistics, but he's the only way of getting her back." "Okay." She agreed. "I'll speak to him. But I can't promise anything." "I have a feeling he'd be more than happy to help you Emily." Damon winked with a knowing smirk.
