Emily ran into the house, tears streaming down her face and slammed the door behind her, collapsing on the floor with her back against it. She sat sobbing for a few seconds when she heard a voice and looked up. "Emily?" It was Stefan. He sat down beside her and looked over at her with concern on his face. "Emily. What's happened?" He asked her. "Kai... He just... I don't think he wants to see me anymore." she sobbed. Stefan put an arm around her and pulled her close. She explained what had happened that day. Stefan was annoyed that she had gone to New Orleans without telling him and Damon, but he was glad she was okay.
"What do YOU want Emily?" "I want him Stefan. I want him so much it hurts." she sniffled, wiping her eyes on her shirt sleeve. "Then tell him that." "He doesn't want to see me Stefan. He just drove away from me." "He asked you to turn him so that he could be with you. That's a big thing for someone to ask, but it's also his decision to make Emily." Stefan continued. "As much as I'd love to think a Vampire and a semi-human could have a happy long life together, eventually he would get older, and he would die, and you would then be on your own, still young..." He made sense, and she was starting to understand Kai's thinking. "He doesn't think he can protect me unless he's a vampire." She said, sighing. "He can't. It's just fact Emily. He's not strong enough to fight off anything bad that comes your way, and he obviously knows that and hate's the idea of losing you." Emily closed her eyes for a few seconds, deep in thought. "I need to see him." She said, jumping up from the floor. "Where are Damons keys?" She asked. "Damons.... no no no... he'll kill you if you take his car Emily!" "He'll forgive me." she smiled. "Fine. It's your funeral. Just do NOT scratch it!" He said seriously, pulling the keys from a drawer. "Thankyou Stefan." She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and ran out the door.
Several minutes later she pulled up outside Kai's apartment. She buzzed through and waited for him to answer. It took a couple of tries, but eventually he did. "What." He answered sharply. "Kai. It's me. Can I please come in and talk to you." "Emily... I.. I don't know if thats a good idea." "Please Kai. I need to speak to you." She pleaded. She heard the door buzz open, and walked up. When she got to his apartment, she knocked on the door. "It's open." He said gruffly. She opened the door and walked in. Kai was sat on the sofa with a bottle of vodka in his hand, drinking straight from the bottle. He was staring straight ahead. His eyes were red and he looked tired. She sighed and sat down beside him on the sofa. "That bad huh?" she said softly, tapping the side of the bottle. He didn't reply. He just took another gulp. 'If you've come to explain the many reasons why you can't or won't turn me. Don't bother please." he huffed. "Is it that important to you Kai?" She asked, slowly taking the bottle from his hand and placing it on the coffee table. He turned to look at her with sadness in his eyes. "Not as important as being with you. No." He said quietly. She studied his face for a few seconds. She could see he had been crying. She looked down at his hands. His knuckles were bloodied. He had obviously punched something in anger. She reached out to touch his hand and he flinched from the pain. It made her realise just how frail he really was compared to her.
