Kai had been driving for 5 hours straight, when he noticed a motel on the edge of the town he was passing through. He looked back through the rearview mirror at the twins who were sound asleep.

He was tired, but he hadn't been willing to stop, which he was now regretting as he was hit with another wave of exhaustion. He hesitated, before pulling into the motel lot.

He glanced back at the girls before getting out and going to the front desk in the lobby. The man who was tending it looked up.

"How may I help you today?" The man asked, looking completely bored.

"Yes, I need a room with two queens," Kai stated, glancing back at the van, not wanting to leave the girls alone for too long.

The man typed something into the computer, before looking back at Kai.

"Yeah, sorry but all that is available right now is a room with a king," He said, looking bored.

Kai considered it before agreeing and the man assigned the room, giving him the key.

"That will be $80," The man said, typing something.

"That won't be necessary," Kai said, narrowing his eyes.

Kai leaned in, eyes dilating, and held the man's gaze. "I don't have to pay for the room. You will mark the room down as in use and will forget ever seeing me in this motel."

"You don't have to pay for the room. I will forget seeing you in this motel," The compelled man repeated, before blinking. "Will that be all, sir?"

"Yes, thank you for your help," Kai responded, smirking.

Kai walked back to the car and opened one of the side doors. He then unbuckled Josie and gently lifted her into his arms. Then, he went to where their room was and opened the door.

He sped to the bed, pulled back the covers, and laid Josie down. He quickly took off her shoes and positioned her more comfortably on the bed.

Josie buried her head in the pillow, letting out a content sigh. Kai pulled the covers up to her shoulders.

He then sped back to the car and opened the other side door. Kai undid the buckles of Lizzie's car seat and lifted her out as well.

The movement jostled Lizzie causing her to wake up partly.

She tiredly opened her eyes and looked around. "Where are we?" She asked, quietly.

Kai looked down at her. "A motel for the night, go back to sleep there's nothing to worry about," He explained.

Lizzie nodded and rested her head in the crook of his neck but didn't close her eyes just yet.

Kai shut the side door and made sure the car was locked before heading back to the motel room.

When he got there he walked around to the other side of the bed, pulling back the covers and setting Lizzie down. Once Lizzie was lying down on the bed, she watched him silently as he took off her shoes.

Kai pulled the covers over Lizzie before moving to sit at the end of the bed, ignoring the watchful eyes of his niece.

He took off his shoes and jacket. He frowned when he realized he didn't have any clothes to change into.

There was nothing he could do about it at the moment, but he made a note to grab some clothes in town for him and the twins.

Kai then looked at the bed, trying to figure out how he was going to sleep.

Lizzie - who was still watching him - caught that look.

"Uncle Kai, you can sleep between us," She said quietly, not wanting to wake her sister.

Kai was silent before realizing that it may be the only option if he didn't want to sleep on the floor or on a chair.

He looked at Lizzie who was still waiting for a response. "Sure, kiddo."

Kai got up and went to Lizzie's side of the bed, and she sat up and moved so he could get past her so he could lay down between the twins.

Once he was between them, Lizzie laid back down, and Kai pulled the covers back up. Kai wasn't expecting what Lizzie did next.

She moved so she was laying against his side, and rested her head on his chest. Kai tensed, not expecting the contact but Lizzie refused to move from where she laid curled into his side.

He hesitantly moved his arm so that it rested around her. Then, he felt movement from Josie and looked over.

Josie turned in her sleep and curled herself around Kai's right arm with her head resting on it. Kai slowly forced himself to relax, so he didn't wake the girls.

He laid there wondering how his day turned from him trying to kill his nieces to him kidnapping them.

He knew why. That bond thing that happened.

He just didn't know why it formed. He knew it hadn't been there before, at least, he thought it hadn't.

But why did he have a bond with them?

Was it because they were the last Gemini? Was it because they were all siphoners? Was it because they were his nieces? What was the reason?

He had no idea, which was why he was going to Portland to see if he could find any information in his old family home.

He wasn't even sure if it would have anything there, and if it didn't, what would be the next step.

Kai looked at Lizzie, whose breathing had evened out, signaling she was asleep.

Kai wasn't sure what he was doing anymore. He had a plan and now it was completely derailed. How was he going to handle two four year old siphon witches, who were just coming into their powers?

The only advantage he had was that he grew up with his younger sibling and dealt with them when they went through their younger years, but these two were siphoners, and he remembered what it was like for him growing up.

He could never control his siphoning at that age, and would constantly siphon from either his sister or parents if he touched them. Which, of course, made dear old dad beat till he was near unconsciousness to teach him a lesson in not siphoning from others.

He never truly learned how to get control of siphoning abilities until he was around 16 as his bastard of a father decided to not allow him to touch anyone after a few mishaps.

Damn, he was really - what did the internet call it - touch starved.

The only reason he figured out how to control his abilities was because he found a structure in the woods near his old house that had magic he could siphon from, which allowed him to learn how to not siphon accidentally.

He knew it was going to be difficult to teach the twins, but he wasn't going to do what his dad did to him. The twins wouldn't grow up thinking they were abominations.

They would grow up knowing that they were the superior witch with siphoners being incredibly powerful.

They could break any spell. They could still do magic if they became vampires.

They could siphon an incredible amount of magic and experience very few negative side effects - not having complete control over the magic was one of them.

They didn't go through the same things that typical witches did when they did a spell that was too powerful for their magic to handle.

While yes, they still had some consequences but it wouldn't kill them as it did a 'normal' witch.

Let's not forget that the twins technically don't have their own magic, but instead take already 'finished' magic from people or objects.

This means they don't have to grow their own magic allowing the little munchkins to have the ability to do magic that took 'normal' witches until adulthood to be able to do at the age of 4.

So he would teach them to love being siphon witches, but Kai wasn't an idiot, he knew that dear old Rick and Momma bear were going to come after the twins.

Which was why, after he had got the twins in the car, he cloaked them so they couldn't be tracked or found using magic.

They weren't getting the twins back, the last Gemini twins belonged with him, the bond - whatever it was from - proved that.

And if they tried to take them from him, well, they'll learn quickly what happened to those that try to take what was rightfully his.

Kai closed his eyes and drifted off.
