That Went Horribly
"How do yall walk in these damn things?” Mumbled Kai as he stumbled to the car.
"Kai, you’re wearing flats.”
He glared at her. "They’re rubbing the back of my heels! And this dress rides up! I hate the way it makes my legs look!” Sabine pursed her lips and he cut his eyes. "Don’t you say anything.” As they walked to the car, they heard a whistle.
"Well hello there…what’s your name?” A man said grinning at Kai. Sabine stifled her laugh seeing Kai's anger.
"I know you ain’t catcalling me, you disrespectful pile of horse shit.”
The man twisted his face up. "Damn. I was just trying to brighten your day.”
Kai stepped it to him and lunged his arm back. "I’m about to light up your fucking-“
"WOAH!” Sabine said intervening. "Let’s go, Kia."
Kai grumbled and pointed his finger in the man's face. "You're lucky, I was about to beat your ass.”
The man winked. "I’m into that.”
Kai blew steam from his nose. Grabbing his arm, Sabine pulled him away as Kai shouted expletives over his shoulder. Getting in the car, Kai pouted in the driver seat. Sabine laughed. "Whew little mama, you sure are an angry one.”
“KNOCK IT OFF!” He shouted, turning the key to his rental.
After a few minutes, Sabine looked over to Kai. "Are you nervous?”
He sighed and shook his head yes. "I can’t imagine them doing anything but rejecting me.”
"Then why risk it?”
"I’m tired of running…tired of being alone.”
Her eyes widened. "You literally have adoring fans, fame-“
"And I’m truly thankful for all of it, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want people around me who actually care about my well being.”
Sabine understood that much more than Kai could imagine. "You think they will kill me for harming their brother?”
He shook his head. "They’ll probably be happy that you almost did."
"I-I made you a plate for your travel back home.” Diane grabbed the plate and handed it to George. Picking up an insulated bag, she handed it to him as well. "Whipped you up some pork chops for lunch too.”
His face reddened. "You didn’t have to do that.”
"I wanted to. I know sometimes you don’t have time to grab something to eat. You got to eat Geo, take care of yourself! Working hard and-” She fumbled with her fingers. "Sorry look at me nagging you like you don’t know how to take care of yourself.”
He nodded in appreciation but didn’t say what was truly on his mind. "Haven’t had a home cook meal in a while I really do appreciate it Di-Diane.” He packed up his stuff and made his way to the door.
"C-can I ask you something?” She asked.
"Mhm”
"They said you were planning to come and live here a couple years ago, why did you change your mind?” George remained silent.
She inhaled. "It was because of me wasn’t it?”
"This was an amazing celebration for Martin, he would have loved it.” Saying everything, without saying anything at all, he left Diane standing at the door, immediately missing the scent of honey. Klaus sat on the porch of the Wolf home. George rolled his eyes. "Don’t make me strangle you today at such a beautiful event.”
Klaus folded his arms to his chest. "I never thought I’d see the day when my hero would become such a coward.” He stepped into him. "You.love.her it's been two years, how much longer are you going to wait to tell her who she is….what Martin wanted?”
"I'm never telling her.”
"WHY?!”
"BECAUSE SHE DON’T WANT ME AND I’M NOT FINNA FORCE HER TO!” Klaus's eyes widened and George shook his head. "You wouldn’t understand. Betsey was always a wolf, and for YEARS I sat beside you incredible happy you met her. But-for the first time in my life, I’m envious of what you have, because I’m never gonna have that.”
Klaus whispered. "You could…”
"If you asked for Betsey’s hand and she rejected you, would you tell her you were her mate and the wish of her dying husband, to get her to accept your proposal?” Klaus pursed his lips. "Mhm, that’s what I thought. I may be an old wolf, but I’m also a wise one. I want Di to want to be mine because she wants ME not because we’re mated, not out of obligation to Martin. Just because of ME being ME because dammit everytime I look at that woman, I fall in love with her all over again.”
Klaus patted his brother on the back. "I get it and because you showed your emotions, I won’t even get on your nerves today.”
George scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Well thank you for that.”
"Indeed, but tomorrow, all bets are off."
"We’re here”
"Good, now turn me back, I’m about five minutes from grabbing my own boobs. How do you manage with these things? They’re heavy as hell!”
Sabine arched her brow. "Did you just say I have big boobs?”
"Weren’t you checking out my smooth chocolate skin earlier in the bathroom? I think I should get a pass at least this once.”
Sabine laughed and shook her head, before waving her hand changing him back. Kai sighed in relief and stroked his beard. "Hello handsome” He said looking at himself smugly in the mirror before blowing a kiss.
“GET OUT!” She shouted tossing his jacket at him.
He looked at her in horror. "You're not coming inside?”
" I am, but I kinda think maybe I should give you a moment first.”
The truth was, Sabine was terrified herself. She’d spoken to the sisters on the phone before, but that was years ago before she’d gone into hiding. She had no idea what they would think of her, and she honestly wanted more than anything for them to like her. Because she didn’t know if she could take one more person who made it clear she had nothing to offer in terms of friendship and family.
Kai nodded. "Okay…I mean how bad can it be?”
"J-just maybe slide into the conversation SLOWLY…you have a tendency to-“
"TO WHAT?!”
Sabine coughed. "Nothing…”
Kai glared at her. "I know how to calmly meet people. I meet fans and other celebrities all the time.”
But family is different
She kept her thoughts to herself.
Exiting the car, he made his way to the large home. "This is interesting, looks like two houses together.” Breathing in deep, he rang the doorbell. "Hello, my name is Kai Pierce…no that sounds dumb….HELLO! IT IS I, YOUR LONG LOST…" He rubbed his forehead. "I’m soo fucked.”
I can do this. Just keep it casual. YOU’RE KAI PIERCE!
The door opened.
"Hello can I-“ Morgan stared at the man in shock. "Kai Pierce…what are yo-"
"MORGAN!” He dropped his bags and excitedly grabbed her. Hugging her to him, he felt himself almost cry.
"Uh….come…in” she said awkwardly.
He nodded. "Thank you!”
Walking inside the long corridor she turned. "Rachel didn’t tell me she hired-“
He covered his hand with his mouth. "OH MY GOD! ARE RACHEL AND ALEXUS HERE?!” Morgan looked at him as if he was insane. "I’m so sorry, I just am SO excited to see you!”
"Is everything okay here?” Jordan arched his brow, walking towards his wife.
She looked at him in shock. "Ye-ah…u-m this is Kai-“
"Pierce, the singer yes I know.” Jordan's smile didn’t reach his eyes.
Kai rubbed the back of his neck. "Sorry, you must be her husband.”
"Mhm," Jordan replied, tensely.
Hearing the noise, Sterling walked into the hall. "Who making all that dam-“ He saw Kai and Jordan standing next to one another, and his eyes locked with Morgan who was clearly stunned. Sterling began to pace. "OH! I SEE WHAT’S HAPPENING HERE!”
"Mad Jester...“
"DON’TYOUMADJESTERMEYOUINVITEDYOURSIDECHICKTOOURHOME!” He patted his chest. "You about to upgrade him aren’t you?! Yep, which one of us is about to have to go, hm?”
"NOBODY!”
At her words, he retched his head back. "Et Tu Willetta…et tu?!” He pointed from Kai to Jordan. "IT’S ME ISN’T IT?! YOU’RE VOTING ME OFF THE ISLAND…HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME LITTLE RED?! LEAVE ME FOR LOVING YOU AS AGGRESSIVELY AS I DO!”
Even Jordan looked angered. "Honey…why is he here?” he asked.
Unable to answer the question herself, she looked up at Kai. "Rachel hired you to sing for my father's celebration right?” He nodded yes silently not wanting to cause more trouble.
"Why is everyone yelling…Kai Pierce…what are you doing here?” Rachel asked as she and Alexus walked into the corridor and Sterling completely lost it.
"OH THE LIES!!!! YOU’VE BEEN BUSTED!!! BUSTED YOU HAVE BEEN!!!”
Seeing his other sisters, Kai could no longer contain himself. He darted to them and wrapped his arms around them. "HOLY SHIT! LOOK AT YOU TWO!”
Rachel and Alexus faces matched Morgan, and Sterling shouted, "ELIJAH! DEMETRI! GET OUT HERE, THEY CHEATING!”
Appearing in the corridor Demetri and Elijah's eyes immediately shot to Kai who arms were wrapped around their wives. Demetri and Elijah shifted, and Kai's eyes widened.
"VAMPIRE! WEREWOLF!” he screamed.
Sterling pushed him hard. "Oh, you name calling too? It’s on MOTHERFUCKER!”
Kai pushed him back just as hard. "KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF BEFORE I BEAT YOUR ASS!”
"DON’T PUSH MY BROTHER!” Jordan growled and Sterling and he shifted.
The four lunged at Kai, and he immediately panicked. "GET THEM AWAY FROM ME!” He screamed as he threw his hands forward. Purple magic sparked from his hands and hit the four catching them completely off guard.
Demetri covered his eyes dramatically with his wing and hissed. "SORCERY!” He snapped his finger and Scott emerged by his side.
"H-ello Mr. Primus sir! Jerry and I were just-“
Demetri picked him up by his head. "I asked you for honesty friend and you have deceived your Primus. AND DON’T YOU DARE SAY IT NOT TO BE TRUE I SEE IT WITH MY OWN EYES!” He pointed vampire Scott at Kai. "You planned a mutiny didn’t you?! Infiltrate my home, and seduce my Beloved with a songbird of a side chick.”
"Sir-I-“
Demetri froze him in place. "I’m going to maim you VAMPERIC SORCERER SCOTT for betraying my friendship, but first-“ He turned to Kai and cut his eyes "The side chick”
Morgan let out a loud growl. "KNOCK IT THE FUCK OFF!” Hearing their Luna, the wolves stopped and sat on their tails.
Alexus blew steam from her nose at Demetri. "Shift back.”
"I WILL NOT!”
She repeated. "SHIFT. BACK DEMETRI SLEEPING IN ONE OF THE GUEST ROOMS VAMP!” He grumbled and shifted back.
Rachel folded her arms to her chest. "You three too, you’ve acted like complete jerks.”
They shifted and Kai grabbed his chest. "I-I need my inhaler.”
Sabine appeared at the door. "Kai, you left your-you didn’t handle this calmly did you?”
He shook his head. "No ma’am, no.I.did.not.”
"I TOLD YOU-“
"CAN YOU FUSS AT ME AFTER I KEEP MYSELF FROM DYING?!”
Kai took the pump from her and took a puff calming down. He turned to the men. "I’m not a side chick…you four are insane by the way.” He turned to his sisters. "D-did you knowingly marry supernaturals?” His eyes widened as they shifted, and he looked back to Sabine. "I-Wha-“
"I tried to tell you….” She looked at the sisters and then to the floor. "I’m Sabine…the ex-Supreme of Rising Sun…and we need all of your guys help.”
Shifting back, Morgan pointed. "Something tells me his powers, have you written all over it.”
"And I shall take whatever punishment you give me.”
"Why would we punish you?”
Sabine glared at Kai. "YOU DIDN’T EVEN TELL THEM?”
He jumped up and down. "I WOULD HAVE IF THE MOTHERFUCKING INSANE QUARTET DIDN’T ATTACK ME FOR THINKING I WAS BANGING MY SISTERS!”
The corridor went silent, and he covered his mouth. He turned and stared at his sisters, and waited.
"Y-You’re not our brother," Morgan said.
"I-“
"He is.” They all looked up and saw Diane. "Welcome home Kai," she said, smiling.
"MRS. DIANE?!” He shouted before everything becoming too much, made him finally pass out.
