Status: Complete
Did they feel it too? That faint pull when the barrier broke? It was all that Tyler could think about as he ran, the earbuds tucked tightly into his ears as a random song blasted. It was meant to keep him focused but all Tyler could think about was the what ifs. What if the barrier had actually been brought down? Where would he be right now? Where would his friends be? Where would Liv be? He ran for about an hour as he tried to clear his head and finally he stopped long enough to grab lunch and head back to the apartment. He was quiet as he let himself inside and rested the bag of chinese on the table before pulling off his sweat soaked shirt. He moved to the couch where Liv was sitting and flopped down next to her pressing a kiss to her cheek. “You off today?” He arched a brow as he rested his feet on the coffee table and stretched out. He knew that she was feeling off lately. A lot of that had to do with Kai and what she was feeling towards him. For a split moment Kai had gotten under her skin and made her believe that he was changing. And then he had been soulless and went out of his way to remind Liv that he was still a monster. Tyler hated that guy with a fucking passion. But that was the only family outside of the twins that Liv had. And Kai could talk his way in and out of everything. “I got lunch.” He reached out and tugged on one of her curls before sighing softly. “So I have to ask you something.” He finally said after a moment. “Back when the barrier cracked… did you feel anything?” Because he couldn’t have been the only one right? He half expected her to think he was fucking crazy so he was already getting up to grab the food off the table. Liv was alive, but she wasn’t doing much living. Sure, she had a job that probably hated more than she liked and the only thing she looked forward to was coming home because Tyler was there. Sometimes even Jer and they would drink or watch whatever game was on tv. She was trying hard to forget about everything she had talked to Kai about but honestly, it was fucking hard and she didn’t blame him. Of course not, no, this was her fault. For believing anything he had to say. Maybe it wasn’t his fault that he was without a soul but even then, he knew right from wrong. That’s how Liv looked at it. Fucking up the Varnish - bad. It was up and running now but that didn’t take away from the fact that people died and the place was a disaster area for days. She wasn’t working today though as she sat Indian style on the sofa and flipped through channels. Ty was out running and Liv was just trying to find something worth watching at this point. It was about an hour later that Ty walked in and set lunch at the table an she just eyed him for a second. She knew he hated that she was so … off. That for a second she might have believed Kai. He was a fucking murderer, he was a psychopath and he was a liar. Bonnie could try to see whatever good in him but Liv felt like she was wasting her time. Kai was telling her everything she wanted to hear because he never had it so good. When Tyler came and sat down next to her, asking her about the barrier, she just raised her eyebrow. As a witch, of course she felt something. She felt something cracking, dissolving, falling away. Like the energy was just being let go and then suddenly, she remembered feeling all of that energy, like a slap to the face almost. Presumably when the barrier was being brought back up. “Yeah, why?” She asked, looking at him and took her lunch from him. “It was down and then up so fast, that the feeling wasn’t long, but I felt like, the pressure just being lifted for a minute.” She frowned. “Did you feel something?” As a supernatural, she expected him to have at least felt something off. To her, it was all connected, especially from her world, their world. It all went back to magic. Kai was a dick. Probably a bigger dick than Tyler and that was an impressive trait. He didn’t know what kind of trick the heretic was trying to pull but it made him an even suckier person for trying to get into Liv’s head. Could Kai change? A lot of other cruel bastards had changed but Kai did shitty things because it liked it. Because it was fun for him. He had taken down the entire Gemini Coven just because they hurt his feelings. It annoyed Tyler to think that people thought he was different here. He just wanted Kai dead. But Liv? She saw something in him. Maybe the same thing Bonnie did but Tyler also knew that Liv didn’t exactly like herself for it either. Kai had been trying to prove a point when he hit the Varnish. What would have happened if Liv had been working? What would he have done then? Tyler shook those thoughts away as he sat down and dug into his own food. That shit wasn’t worth the risk. “Kind of.” he finally said after a moment of devouring his food. It felt like he was starving. All he wanted was to work out, eat, and bang. The life of a werewolf. But he was trying to be serious for once. “It feel like something was being pulled out of me.” Or like he was being pulled out of this stupid fucking world. “I think if that barrier breaks, we go back to where we came from.” Tyler didn’t have to say what that meant. She knew. Well, Liv wasn’t hungry anymore. She set her food down. Just thinking about leaving here, going back - death. It was just too much for her. Sure, she fucking martyred herself for Tyler, so he could become a werewolf and stand a chance. She was dying anyway. Why not just force his hand on it and let him become more powerful. And she would never blame him - it was what she wanted. She loved him so fucking much and if she could have done anything for him - it was that. But that didn’t mean she wanted to go back. She didn’t want to die and she didn’t want to think about it. Unfortunately, someone else out there was wanting to breaking that barrier down no matter what the fuck was the cost. “I think you’re right.” She looked at him. “And you can say it. I’ll die. Again.” She smiled, but it was sadly. It wasn’t like she was happy to have this conversation. It fucking sucked. “If someone was able to get to it, they’re going to try again. You know that, right?” Liv looked ahead because that pretty much meant their days were numbered. Unless she found out who fucking did it. Or she could put up a spell, protecting the barrier. And maybe she could even get her abomination of a brother to help because she was pretty sure he didn’t want to go back to where he came from. But she wasn’t going to mention that. Tyler didn’t want to have this conversation. It was the last conversation he wanted to have but the fact was he was dead. She was dead. How long before someone came along and broke that shit barrier and they were gone again. Tyler had found peace. He was in a good place. He was with Vicki out of all people but that’s not what he wanted. He wanted to stay here. He wanted to live. And he wanted Liv. It was all so fucking complicated and Tyler could only focus on the food in front of him before finally he sighed loudly and pushed the food onto the table in front of them. “We both die.” He corrected her. “And I don’t want to fucking lose you again.” Tyler frowned as he stood up and slowly started pacing like some caged wolf. Why did it have to be this way? Why couldn’t people just leave the shit alone. Who gave them the right to ruin everyone else's lives just because they wanted to be out? Okay, maybe Tyler wasn’t thinking logically but this was literally life or death for them. How could he not be fucking worried? “We have to find a way to stop them.” He finally looked over at her and frowned. “There has to be something we can do to make sure the barrier stays up.” Tyler knew there were powerful witches here in LA and his girl was one of them. Maybe it would take more than Liv to create a spell but how many others wanted to stay here like they did? Fuck. Liv closed her eyes and brought her hands up, her fingers running through her hair as she tried to think. She knew that she could possibly keep the barrier up - or she would try, but she didn’t think that one witch would be able to do it. There was Bonnie. She knew that Enzo was dead back home, but maybe even leaving this place would solve all her problems. She didn’t know their relationship like that and she wasn’t going to be the asshole to ask that question. So Bonnie was out. She glanced over at him and saw the worry on his face. Fuck. She hated this. She hated feeling like her back was against a wall and she hated that this - all of it could be over. And so soon. They barely had any time here. Reaching over, she placed her hand on his, her fingers sliding between his to hold onto his hand. “There has to be other witches here who don’t want to leave, Ty. Maybe - I don’t know. Maybe we can put up a protection spell.” But was it likely? “I know you might not want to hear this, but I doubt Kai wants to go anywhere either. And he could probably help and -” She noticed his change in demeanor and she sighed. “I’m just saying he could probably help. I hate him. I fucking hate him but to do this? He’d be the only person I would trust. The least he could do is help me with a spell, Ty.” She really didn’t want to go to Kai, but it wasn’t like she could go to Bonnie or even ask another witch to help her. What the fuck was she going to say? Mostly everyone here wanted out. She heard it time and time again. They would complain on the net about it and Liv would just roll her eyes. She could deal with their fucking challenges if it meant she got to be alive. She wasn’t taking shit for granted anymore. Tyler stiffened at the mention of Kai and he immediately gave her a look. Was she fucking serious? Kai was the reason she was in need of the barrier to fucking stay up in the first place. He couldn’t be trusted and she actually wanted to go to him for help? He narrowed his eyes and shook his head. “Liv, it’s Kai.” He told her and those three little words did explain everything. He wasn’t just a dick, he was a fucking monster. He had killed her entire family just because his feelings were hurt. Who did that? Bonnie could forgive Kai all she wanted by Tyler knew better. Trusting psychotic assholes got you killed. Look at him. He had trusted Damon and he was dead. Stuck hoping some fucking magical barrier stood up for as long as possible. God, they deserved so much fucking better. Everything was stolen from them and the ones who did it got away with every fucking thing. Tyler felt that hate and anger rise inside his chest and he stared ahead of him at nothing at all as he mindlessly brought the back of her hand up and pressed his lips there. “Let’s say that Kai does help.” He finally said after a few moments of silence. “You know him. He’s not going to do it out of the goodness of his heart.” Sure, Kai had a life here compared to being trapped in a prison world back home but Kai looked out for himself. He wasn’t just going to help them out for free. He’d want something in return and something was already telling Tyler that he didn’t like what that would be. The thing was? Tyler was absolutely right. The other thing was, Kai was the only person she could actually trust to protect this shitty place from imploding because she knew just as much as he did that he didn’t want to be stuck in a prison world, by himself, for eternity. But that didn’t mean she had to go to him, or seek his help. At the moment, if he died this second, she probably wouldn’t have shedded a tear and that was just because he fucked her over yet again. Which really was her mistake for even letting him have that power over her. She was just done with that. She knew where she stood and where she would always stand with him and nothing could change that. “It’s not like I really want to go to him, Ty. And whatever he would want in return, he wouldn’t get. I just wish Bonnie would have actually sent him back where he belonged. I don’t get her,” she complained and sat back on the sofa. No, she wasn’t here to trash talk Bonnie’s decision but seriously? Why was it up to her anyway? Next thing they knew, she was going to make nice with Silas or even Klaus and give them all free passes for being murderous psychos. It was just crap at this point. “I’ll think of something, but I promise you,” she looked at him and reached for his shoulder, making him look at her. “I promise you I’m not losing you. And you’re not losing me. Fuck that.” Tyler couldn’t help the way he sighed in frustration. He hated this. This whole fucking place was ridiculous. It never made any sense and Tyler just watched as everyone tried to live their lives like nothing was wrong here. Like it couldn’t all just be snatched away in a second. Tyler had a certain mindset when he had arrived here. He wanted to live. He didn’t care what he had to do in order to get that. But Kai. He didn’t trust Liv around him. Kai was unpredictable. He would kill her just for the fun of it and then where would that leave Tyler? Alone? Would he even want to be here then? None of it would have mattered if she was gone. “I don’t know what the hell Bonnie is thinking.” How could Bonnie of all people trust Kai? Just because it looked like Kai was changing didn’t actually mean Kai knew how to. He was an idiot. He was dangerous and he just wished that someone would have killed him already. He finally looked at Liv and frowned for a minute. “Whatever we do to stay here we do together.” He eyed her. “Together, Liv.” He said again just to make a point. She wasn’t going to Kai alone. “We’ll get through this. We’ve been through worse.” Because they had. And while Liv and Tyler weren’t exactly any of the lucky ones they loved each other too much to let anything happen to the other. She had died for him. He would kill for her. They would get this through. There was no going back now. |
