Insanity

Feel Like Making A Deal With The Devil?

Damon and Bonnie trailed through the woods, trying to find the spot where they could escape as Jerome skipped behind them, dragging his hand over trees.

"You're in a good mood for the first time this decade. Stop that!" She hissed as Damon whistled and continued to poke her arm with a stick.

"I have a hot date with my girl tonight."

"Gag." Jerome faked coughing.

"Yeah, assuming Kais's telling the truth."

"I'm thinking dinner and a movie. You know what? Screw dinner and the movie, skip straight to the good part."

"I might shoot myself. This is torture, and not the good kind." Jerome laughed and cringed at the same time.

"Yeah, and assuming I can do the spell, which I won't know until I see it."

"What happened to hope, Bon? Remember when I was like all, boo grr, and you were all 'Hooray, hooray" We're getting out of here.'"

"That is a terrible immitation Day-Day." Jerome laughed as he continued to trail behind.

"Look, I wanna go home, more than anything but Kai's a sociopath. Who's to say he won't screw us over?"

"Me. I say. Because I will kill Kai and anyone who comes in the way of me going home." Damon finished, stabbing the air, using the stick as a makeshift sword.

"I heard my name. All good, I hope. The eclipse will happen directly overhead, in perfect allignment with the Gemini constellation. You need to dig into the tunnels below us, we'll do the spell there." Kai said pointing at Damon and throwing him a pick axe.

"Why?"

"Have you never portal-jumped through an eclipse before?" Kai asked with a faux shocked expression. Okay, look, the light of the eclipse will shine down and activate the ascendant. You spout a little witchy woo and then, poof, anyone standing in the circle of light holding the ascendant gets to go home."

"By 'witchy woo' I assume you mean the spell. Let me see it."

"When the time comes." Kai smiled innocently before beginning to walk off into the woods.

"Where are you going?" Damon questioned.

"Into town. I need to gather some important supplies. Actually, why don't you come Jerome? Being alone is boring."

Jerome started to enthusiastically walk to Kai but Damon stopped him by grabbing his shoulder.

"Nope. Jerome stays here, can't have him wandering off." He quipped casuing Jerome to growl slighlty.

"Um I'm the only one who knoews the spell and I want Jerome to come, so either let him go or we don't go anywhere." Kai stated liked Damon was stupid.

Shrugging Damons hand off him, Jerome laughed and walked off with Kai.

"See ya later, fangs."

As they walked into town Kai whistled cheerily causing Jerome to huff.

"I used to be a great whistler." He laughed gesturing to his scarred mouth in a permanant smile.

"It looks badass so it's fine." Kai responded grinning as he walked backwards to talk to Jerome.

"I know." Jerome grinned.

"You know, they are most likely gonna kill ya when we get back?"

"It won't work if they do. I'll let you in on a little secret, I can't die here. Not permanently. I always come back."
