love is weakness - k.p.

part one

"This demon-boy is getting on my damn nerves!", Damon spit out while pouring himself a glass of bourbon.

Elena and Alaric nodded in agreement.

"Is there a way, any way", Elena turned to Jo, sitting on the couch in the Salvatore mansion. "to get any kind of control over him?"

Jo shrugged.

"My brother has lost any kind of humanity he once had, I don't think he can be controlled by anything or anyone."

"He has to have some kind of weakness! Everyone does!", even Damon got desperate now and leaned against the wall.

Jo was silent for a little while before she perked up.

"There was y/n."

"Who the hell is y/n", Elena asked.

"Y/n was our neighbor. She was the same age as Kai and me and we always disguised her as my best friend so that she and Kai could hang out. I remember that she once came over to our once, completely soaked and-"

"Jo, get to the point!"

Jo looked at Damon annoyed.

"Okay. Y/n was Kai's best friend, maybe even more, I think both of them loved the other one but they never told each other. She was staying over when Kai snapped and went on his murder spree. He saw her but it was like he couldn't hurt her at all, so he didn't. She was the only one not getting at least stabbed by him."

Damon, Alaric and Elena looked at each other.

"So if anyone's his weakness, it's her?", Damon asked, setting down his glass.

Jo nodded but then frowned.

"So let's get her and-"

"Damon, that's impossible.", Jo interrupted.

"Why? What's the problem now?"

"She's dead. She died that night trying to save Kai from our father."

"Wake up y/n! Wake up!"

Jo was grasping the teenage girls shoulders, shaking her to wake her up.

"What- What's going on?"

"Kai, he's-", Jo was interrupted by a loud scream from downstairs, causing y/n to flinch.

Panicking the brunette looked at Jo.

"He's, he snapped. He's killing them. Kai is killing them."

Y/n eyes widened. Then she frowned.

"Oh OK, wow, hahaha, what a funny joke you and Kai planned."

The girl pushed a strand of hair angrily behind her ear.

"Very funny, guys!"

Another scream came from downstairs. Nearer this time.

Y/n turned to Jo.

"I know it's a prank, Jo. Tell Kai to stop! If the screaming wakes up your parents you both will be in so much trouble."

"Y/n, it's no- it's not a joke", Jo whispered, pulling y/n away from the closed door.

"Wha-"

"Kai? What are you-" the girls heard from the staircase. It was one of Jo's and Kai's younger brother though y/n couldn't figure out who exactly it was when he suddenly started screaming in pain and then... silence.
