sometimes i think about my life and want to bang my head into a wall

ECHO WANDERED DOWN the staircase of the Salvatore house and moved straight into the kitchen were she saw Damon staring at a rather large assortment of cupcakes with a smile on his face.

The Winchester leaned herself against the door frame as she watched him. "Happy Birthday, Bon-bon." She then cleared her throat and the Salvatore turned dramatically on his heels to face her. "Uh, hello. Morning. How'd you, uh, how'd you sleep?"

"Perfectly." Echo nodded and walked over to the table where the cupcakes were set and perched herself on one of the bar stools. "Didn't hear you get up this morning. What's all this?"

"Caroline's planning a birthday party for Bonnie." Damon nonchalantly shrugged with caused Echo's brows to furrow. "Yeah, I know, it's a little sad having a birthday party where the birthday girl doesn't actually show up, but—"

"—actually, I think it's a great idea," the brunette said with a smile. "Yeah. I mean, Bonnie would want us to celebrate her birthday in style. You know that, I know that, everyone knows that. Caroline's just trying to do what she thinks is right, and I support this."

"To be honest, I also think this party is just a way to distract herself from everything that's going on with her mom," Elena sadly spoke once she had entered the kitchen to see the couple eyeing up the cupcakes. "She also said that if anyone touched those, she'd kill them. So, don't get any ideas."

"What? You think I'm scared of Blondie?" Damon bit back with a smug grin that soon faded as he pulled Echo into a small, affectionate kiss.

"Hello?" A familiar voice echoed loud through the halls of the Salvatore house, which caused both Echo and Damon to pull from each other's embrace while Elena turned to them with wide eyes.

The doppelgänger shook her head at the couple. "No. That's impossible because why would he—"

"—he didn't. He's all merged, he's packed and he's on his way to Portland." The Salvatore vampire rose his tone of voice as the words parted from his lips.

"Forgot how massive this house was," Kai confirmed their fears once he entered the kitchen and set his sights on the innocent standing cupcakes. "Yum, cupcakes!" He then turned back to Echo and Damon who were still very much close. He then rose his brows at Elena who stood nearby. "Sorry, am I interrupting something?"

"What the hell are you doing here, Kai?" Echo asked the leader of the Gemini Coven, with annoyance in her voice.

"Funniest thing. I need your help." He then pulled out a letter from his inside pocket with Josette written on the front of the envelope.
