I yawned as I slowly opened my eyes - there was some tension in the room after our argument last night.

"I literally had to endure talking to the blonde air head while you got chatted up by the kid version of james bond. I didn't have fun tonight, so can we drop it?", Kai storms into the bathroom with his sleepwear in hand.

I follow him, still furious at him for acting like it was my fault Kol was there tonight, which I still didn't know why it bothered him so much. "Are you seriously blaming me for Someone else's behaviour? I thought it was just gonna be Rebekah there, will you fucking chill out, you're arguing with me no reason ", I can feel my anger build up inside. Maybe spending all this time together isn't a good idea.

He glares at me while brushing his teeth, knowing too well that he was in the wrong. "Yeah well I won't be tagging along next time. GOODNIGHT ", he mockingly yells from the bathroom.

"Oh piss off kai", I aggressively turn down my bed sheets and climb inside.

For my own sanity, I think it's best if I go to the cemetery alone today. I need some space right now, after last nights heated conversation it's clear he doesn't like other people around his presence. He's gonna have to get off his high horse if he wants to survive living in 2015. I'm sure he thought he owned the 90s but this decade is different- people wont take your shit without so much as a smart comeback.
I look over to Kai's bed, still snoring lightly. I wasn't in the mood to get into it again so I take this chance to sneak out of the room. I quietly change into a black denim skirt and a simple tanned turtleneck. I throw my hair into a high ponytail and slip my phone into my back pocket. It's only eight thirty in the morning so I'm guessing he'll sleep in a while longer, giving me enough time to get away without the risk of being followed.

I had absolutely no idea where this cemetery was, luckily I have Google maps on my new iPhone. I internally grunt when four different cemeteries come up on the search bar. Fantastic. I debate over which one to check out first but my attention is immediately turned to a familiar face from yesterday. I run up to the girl who's waiting to cross the busy road. I remember kai telling me the owner of the bar was named sophie, ironically the story she told us was about her and her sister.

"Hey, its sophie right?", I politely smile at her concerned face.

"I already told your asshole of a boyfriend what I know. I'm done answering anymore questions", the brave witch pulls out a set of earphones from her handbag. I would have to remind myself to scold Kai later.

"Number one, he's not my boyfriend. Two, I'm sorry if he offended you, I know he's an asshole. And three, I really need your use of directions. Which cemetery am I supposed to go to?", I almost plead at this point - I'm so close to getting answers yet theres another obstacle to overcome.

The witch sighs while she scans my frame. I could swear she looks as if she feels sorry for me. Pity isn't something I'm looking for, I just want to be on my way to find closure. "If I tell you will you and that guy quit bothering me? I'm already on thin ice with Marcel".

"You have my word, seriously. Just tell me where it is please".

"Its a five minute walk from here, keep going straight from the street across the road and it'll eventually appear to your left, you cant miss it", she presses half a smile but keeps a stern expression. I thank her and eagerly start heading across the road. I can't believe I'm doing this alone but I have to start my independence at some point. I just hoped a certain siphoner would still be fast asleep back at the hotel, his domineering opinions would just get in my way, and possibly ruin my chances of even talking to the witch that resides in the cemetery. As I continued to walk straight ahead I pondered about the fact that this Marcel guy doesn't allow magic to be practiced in his city, yet, theres a witch who practices sacrificial magic in the cemetery I'm heading to. What's with that? If he's so keen on keeping his laws intact then why isn't he aware of it?
