Losing Your Memory ° Kai Parker

Chapter 1

Me and Damon were, once again, sitting at the kitchen table quietly eating our pancakes.
It had been two weeks since we had been trapped in this place and pancakes seemed to be the only thing Damon or me were capable of making.
Everyday I woke thinking this was the day Bonnie or someone would come and take us away, but they never came. I started to believe that there was no way for us to get out and I would be stuck with Damon forever.

That was another issue... Damon.
I was in love with my sister's boyfriend since the moment I saw him, he of course didn't really have eyes for anyone else and probably only saw me as his girlfriend's sister. Which sucked even more now that we were stuck here, because it was a torture.

I let my fork down and sighed.
Damon looked up from his pancakes, bright, blue eyes staring at me.
"What? " He said.

"I am gonna go to the store and see if I can pick something to cook us real dinner." I stated. "This" I pointed at the plate before me "is not real food. If I eat one more pancake I will kill myself. "

"I'll come with you. " He stated and got to his feet.

"It's fine Damon. It's not like there's anyone else in this place. I'll be fine. Besides I spent the last two weeks with you, anyone would want some alone time. " I said and got to my feet.

Damon rolled his eyes at me "Oh please, once we get out of this place you will beg to spend some alone time with me" He winked at me and left the kitchen.

I stared at his back as he walked away. Damon didn't have a clue about my feelings for him and I wanted to keep it that way.
I took the dishes at the sink and got out of the house breathing some air.

The shop was pretty close to the Salvatore mansion and one good thing about living in a place with no other human is that there were no rules. So the concept of money was non existent.

I walked in the shop and wondered what I could possibly pick since I was clueless about cooking. I stared at some pasta in front of me, this would do I guess.
I picked a packet and went to pick some tomatoes to make some sause.

The moment my hand reached for one I heard a tapping noise behind me.

"This type of pasta doesn't go with tomato sauce, sweetheart. " A male voice said.

I turned my head to see a boy standing behind me. He had black hair and light blue eyes. He didn't seem much older than me. Probably around my age. He had his hands in his pockets and he was grinning at me.

"Who are you?" I asked after I got over the initial shock of seeing another human face beside Damon.

He cocked his head a little bit and eyed me in a way that made me extremely uncomfortable. His whole demeanor made me unease.

" I am sorry manners, I am Kai" He said in a very boyish way. For a moment it felt like I was just shopping at the supermarket and I happened to bump into an attractive guy and were just innocently flirting.
But nothing about Kai seemed innocent for some reason and this wasn't a normal encounter. How was he here in the first place?

"How are you here? How did you get here? "  I asked, awfully aware of how close he was. I instinctively took a few steps back but my back hit the shelves behind me.

Kai chuckled and took some more steps towards me.
He captured a lock of my hair and twisted it in his hands playfully.
He kept his gaze at my hair between his fingers, like it was the most interesting thing in the world.

"I was here a long time before you, sweetheart." He answered not taking his eyes off my hair.
"You must be Jennifer, right? " He finally looked at me.

I narrowed my eyes. He had been watching us.

Kai laughed and released the hair he was holding, putting now both of his hands in the air.
"Guilty. I was watching you and Damon. There isn't much you can do for fun here. "

"Not that you two guys were much fun, if I am being honest. " He grabbed a tomato  and examined it.
"Of course it was fun seeing you swoon over the vampire, who is your sister's boyfriend but for how long could that entertain me. "

My mouth fell open. How could he possible know any of that.

He noticed my reaction and laughed.
"Relax sweetheart, you are just easy to read. "

"Don't call me that." I hissed at him starting to get really annoyed at his choice of nicknames

He stared at me, leaving the tomato back. 
He looked like he examined me.
"No witch, no vampire, no nothing huh? "

"Human." He breathed.

I frowned.

"Too bad. " He said.

Suddenly his hand was at my throat, squeezing it.
I started choking, struggling to breath. One hand was on top of his trying to free my neck but it was useless.

"Shhhh..It will be okay. " He said his face inches away from mine.

"Let her go. " A familiar voice said.

I turned to see Bonnie, an outstretched hand ready to strike.
Tears filled my eyes at the sight of my best friend in front of me.

Kai released my neck. He slowly walked over to Bonnie his hands in the air.
"A Bennet witch, isn't it. "

At that moment Damon arrived. Once he noticed me he rushed towards me.

"Who is this? " He stared from Kai to Bonnie.

Bonnie's eyed never left Kai who was now in front of her.

"Kai Parker. Nice to meet you welcome to my personal hell. " Kai said.

Damon and I looked at each other.

Suddenly one of Kai's hands grabbed Bonnie. A red glow surrounded his hand and his lips curled to a smile.

Bonnie cried out and tried to free her hand.
Damon was quick and tried to push Kai away from Bonnie but with a wave of his hand Damon flew across the room.

He finally released Bonnie and pushed her towards me.
I catched her before she could fall.

"Now, now, now... Let's all calm down. Shall we? " Kai said smiling. He cracked his head and closed his eyes like he tried to concentrate on a feeling.
He let out a breath and opened his blue eyes again.

His eyes fell on me and on the unconscious Bonnie I was holding.

"Sorry for that. " He waved his hand dismissively at the sight of Bonnie "She'll be fine she just lost a lot of power. "

"What are you? " I asked, dreading the answer.

Kai looked at me and kneeled to be eye level with me.
"I am a witch Jenn. To be specific a siphoner. I absorb any magical power of every being. I don't have powers of my own you see. "
As he explained to me my eyes never left his. It was like I couldn't look anywhere else.

Damon's grunts became audible. He got to his feet and glared at Kai who grinned back at him.

"We're gonna have a great trip" Kai said

I frowned "What do you mean? "

"You guys are going to take me with you. We are leaving this place. " He said and smiled brightly.

Damon looked at me and I stared back at him.
This would be messy.
