Shadows of Destiny (Kai x Reader)

I hope you enjoy the story <3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jo and Alaric were having a happy, celebratory wedding surrounded by loved ones. Everyone involved desired a fresh start and a peaceful moment. However, tranquility proved to be fragile and easily disrupted.

With wrath and resentment in his eyes, Kai Parker dashed into the ceremony. He launched his strike before the Gemini Coven could respond, with magic sparking through the air.

Trying to escape the lethal energy bursts, guests shrieked and dispersed. His twin, Jo, eyes wide with shock and resolve, stood her ground. Shaking, she begged, "Kai, stop this! Why are you doing this?!"

But Kai had no brotherly affection in his distorted smile. Ignoring Jo, he said, "You should know by now. I never quit on what I started."

As he lifted his hand to cast another attack, the hall doors flung open. Y/N staggered in with her gaze fixed on Kai, bruised, and worn out. Her willpower, pushing her on despite the agony, had allowed her to break free from her restraints.

She cried, "Kai!" as she hurried herself between him and Jo, "Enough already!"

As Kai saw Y/N, he paused, his gaze closing in. In a low, and deadly tone he muttered, "You… How come you were free?"

Y/N sprang for him, attempting to throw him off balance before he could react. Kai moved more quickly. With his power blazing, he turned and launched her across the room with his magic. Y/N flew into tables strewn across the floor. She flew so hard into them that her lungs were afflicted with formidable force and coughed up blood. All bloods were stained on her clothes.

Y/N’s besties Elena and Caroline raced to her aid, "No, Y/N!"

Fearful, Caroline sobbed, “Don’t die on us, please.”

Damon, who had developed a close bond with Y/N during their time in the Prison World, stepped closer and unleashed a torrent of anger. He yelled, "You messed with the wrong person, Kai."

Kai had little time to react when Damon tackled him, but with a flick of his wrist, he sent Damon hurling across the room and into a set of chairs.

“Damon, get out of here!” Kai yelled, “This is between me and the rest of the others.”

With a sneer on his lips, Damon got up to his feet. He spat, "Like hell it is," but Elena held his arm and stopped him before he could strike again.

“Damon, no,” she cried out, “You are going to make things worse.”

As he watched them, Kai's face faltered, something flickering in his eyes when his gaze turned to Y/N.

"Y/N, you shouldn't have come here," he added in a near whisper, “You should have stayed away.”

Y/N clung to her side as she staggered to her feet, "I could never let you do this," she exclaimed, "You're not a monster, Kai. There is no need to do this.”

Kai's fists shook with hardly controlled power, his mouth tightening.

"You persist in defying me even after I provided you with the chance to behave properly!" This was mostly targeted at his coven members, especially the former Gemini coven leader, Joshua Parker. He spat, "You must be so desperate to die." Fearful, the guests crowded together.

Elena moved forward, her face resolute. Despite the chaos surrounding her, Elena uttered firmly, "Please, Kai. Do not do this. Let everyone go.”

Kai's hold on his power became stronger, and for a split second, it appeared as though he would let loose everything. But Y/N's shaky voice broke the strain.

She whispered, "Kai," as she fixes her gaze on him, “Avoid turning into the monster they believe you are.”

He looked at her, his face tense between wrath and something else… something… human.

"You don't understand," he continued, his voice trembling, “I have to finish this. This is the only option."

Ignoring her wounds, Y/N protested, "No, it's not," and moved closer, “You are free to take another course. We can work out another solution together."

Kai's gaze wavered, and the fury gradually faded. His voice hardly rose above a whisper, "I don't know if I can," he murmured.

Stretching out her hands to him, Y/N said, "You can. You do not have to be alone.”

The guests' labored breathing in the entire room was the sole sound for a long, anxious time. Then, very gradually, the enchantment at Kai's fingertips vanished. With his face tense, he lowered his hand.

"You should be thankful," he says at last directed towards his coven, breaking the silence in the room, his voice breaking, “You get to live another day.”

Kai turned to go, but as he saw Y/N's strength waning, he hurried to her side, and lifted her into his arms. The guests watched in horror as Kai carried Y/N away; her blood smeared his clothing. Her eyes opened, a mixture of relief and bewilderment meeting his. Weakly whispering, "Kai, what are you doing?"

"Saving you," he said, sounding almost compassionate now, "Y/N, I can’t lose you. No, not in this way."

Kai disappeared, dragging Y/N into the unknown after one last, conflicted look at Elena, Caroline, and Damon.

______________________________________________________________

As night descended, remorse swept over Y/N. She would never have let Kai leave if she had known what Bonnie, Damon, and Elena were up to. Their plan was to trick Kai and keep him in another prison world. She had not acted on her intuition that something was amiss. She heard bits of their talk, their low voices, and their hurried murmurs just before Kai and the others went to the prison world where the Heretics were imprisoned. She disregarded her inner intuition, convinced that they were acting morally. She wished she had done something—anything—to stop this chaos made by Kai.

"I'm sorry, Kai," she said in a regretful and painful whisper, "I should have known. I should have stopped them."

“It's too late for that now,” he said, “Maybe, though, we can work things out together.”

The darkness drew closer, and Y/N nodded feebly. She held onto the belief that there was someplace, someway, a chance to put things right, to keep Kai from the darkness that threatened to swallow him, and to keep herself from the sorrow that was eating at her.

The Forest's Secrets Shaina Tranquilino October 22, 2024

Tom had heard the rumours about Sherwood Forest, but like any seasoned hiker, he brushed them off as local folklore. Strange disappearances, eerie whispers, and shadows that moved without reason were nothing but tales spun to keep thrill-seekers away. The challenge of navigating its dense, untamed wilderness was too tempting to resist. So, on a chilly October morning, he packed his gear and ventured into the heart of the forest, ignoring the warnings that echoed in the back of his mind.

The first few hours were peaceful. The golden light of the rising sun filtered through the canopy, casting playful shadows on the forest floor. Birds chirped, and the soft crunch of fallen leaves beneath his boots set a rhythmic, almost calming pace. Tom reveled in the solitude. The trail was faint, nearly overgrown in places, but his instincts were sharp. He’d always had a good sense of direction, or so he thought.

As the sun climbed higher, the forest began to change. The trees grew taller, their trunks darker, their branches intertwining like gnarled, skeletal fingers. The air felt heavier, damp with the scent of moss and decay. The birdsong that had accompanied him earlier faded, replaced by an unsettling silence.

Tom checked his map and compass, frowning. The trail should have led him to a clearing by now, but he was still deep in the thick of the forest. He scanned the area, turning in slow circles, but the path had vanished, swallowed by the ever-thickening underbrush. A creeping sense of unease gnawed at him, but he shook it off. He’d been in trickier situations before.

He decided to backtrack, retracing his steps, but with every turn, the landscape seemed to shift. Trees that should have been familiar looked different, older, almost watchful. The sunlight, once warm and inviting, dimmed, casting the forest in a cold, blue twilight. Tom’s breath quickened. The forest was disorienting him, twisting his sense of direction. He was lost.

Panic began to set in as the day dragged on. He moved faster, trying to find any sign of the trail, but no matter how far he walked, the trees closed in tighter, their branches hanging low, blocking out the sky. The silence around him grew oppressive, pressing down on his chest until it was hard to breathe.

That’s when he heard it. A faint whisper, barely audible, carried on the wind.

“...this way...”

Tom froze. He scanned the trees, searching for the source of the voice, but there was no one. He was alone. His heart pounded in his ears.

“...this way...”

It was closer now, clearer, as if the voice was speaking directly into his mind. His skin prickled with cold sweat. He shook his head, trying to dismiss it as a trick of exhaustion. But the whisper persisted, beckoning him deeper into the forest.

“Come closer…”

Against his better judgment, Tom followed the voice. His legs moved without him fully willing them to, as if some invisible force was pulling him forward. The trees seemed to lean in closer, their bark etched with strange, twisted shapes. Faces, maybe. He wasn’t sure. He didn’t want to look too closely.

The voice led him to a small clearing, barely more than a patch of dirt surrounded by trees that loomed like sentinels. In the centre stood a massive, ancient oak, its trunk blackened and split as though struck by lightning. The whispers grew louder, overlapping in a cacophony of unintelligible words, except for one, repeated over and over again.

“Escape.”

Tom staggered forward, drawn to the tree. At its base was a hollow, wide enough for him to crawl into. The whispers urged him closer, promising safety, freedom, a way out. But deep in his gut, he knew something was terribly wrong. His instincts screamed at him to turn back, to run. Yet he couldn’t move. His body betrayed him, inching toward the hollow.

As he stood before the tree, the whispers stopped abruptly, replaced by a deafening silence. The forest held its breath, as if waiting for him to make his choice.

Then, from within the hollow, something shifted. A pair of eyes — too large, too dark — blinked open, staring at him from the abyss. The stench of rot wafted from the tree, cloying and thick. A voice, deeper and more menacing than before, rumbled from the hollow.

"Give yourself, and you may leave."

Tom’s stomach lurched. He stumbled back, but the forest wouldn’t let him go. The branches above rustled, though there was no wind, and the shadows beneath the trees stretched toward him like grasping hands. He was trapped.

“What do you want?” he whispered, his voice trembling.

The creature in the tree blinked, slowly, deliberately. “A soul for the forest. Your soul.”

Tom's mind raced, panic overtaking him. He had no idea what this thing was — some ancient spirit, a demon, or something worse. But it had him. The whispers had lured him here, and now it demanded payment.

His throat tightened, his chest aching with terror. “And if I refuse?”

The shadows at the edge of the clearing stirred, rising from the ground like mist, coalescing into figures. People, or what had once been people. Their hollow eyes fixed on him, their mouths hanging open in silent screams. They had refused.

Tom’s heart hammered in his chest. His hands shook. The tree creaked, its hollow growing darker, wider. He could feel it, the hunger, the endless void that waited to consume him if he stayed.

With one last, desperate look at the figures surrounding him, he made his choice.

“I’ll give it,” he whispered, barely able to hear his own voice.

The hollow seemed to pulse, the darkness inside swelling, and before he could react, the tree’s roots shot from the ground, wrapping around his legs, his arms, pulling him into the blackness.

The last thing he heard as the world closed around him was the forest, whispering once more.

“You’re free.”

Two days later, a search party found Tom’s gear at the edge of Sherwood Forest. His body was never recovered, and neither were the bodies of those who had disappeared before him. But deep in the heart of the forest, the whispers continued, waiting for the next soul to lose their way.
