The Apology

(Kai)

No, I have to..

(Kai runs to go see Lexi but runs into Celeste and the doctor)

(Celeste)

Kai, what are you..

(Kai)

I have to talk to her.

(Celeste)

There's been..

(Kai)

No, I left her alone last night and now i need to see her.

(Celeste)

Excuse us.

(The doctor leaves quietly)

(Celeste)

Listen to me, She doesn't want to see you right now.

(Kai)

I don't care!

(Celeste)

You are her trainer and you can go in, but if you do you might make things worse. You have to know when to..

(Kai)

Then i'm going in.

(Celeste)

She doesn't want you as her trainer anymore.

(Kai)

What?

(Celeste)

She said it yesterday but she did it in anger. I'm not taking it seriously until she's calmed down and repeats herself. If you go in and apologize you'll undermine yourself.

(Kai)

I don't care. I can't stand her hating me. You didn't see her yesterday. There were no emotions in her eyes when she.. They were so..empty.

(Celeste)

I can't stop you if you want to go inside.

(Kai)

I know you can't.

(Celeste's POV)

Finally, he actually cares about someone. The only problem is that he is her trainer. I have no idea how this is going to plan out.

(Kai goes to Lexa's room)

(Kai)

Lexa...

(Lexa)

Please, just leave me alone.

(Kai)

No, i won't. you have to talk to me.

(Lexa)

No, Kai please.

(Kai)

I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry.

(Lexa starts crying)

(Kai)

No please, it kills me to see you like this. I..i'm so sorry.

(Lexa)

I don't want you to do that again.

(Kai's POV)

What do i say to that? I can't promise her that. And still..

(Kai)

I won't. Please just don't hate me.

(Lexa's POV)

As if i could hate him. I'm still hurt but my wounds have already healed.

(Kai)

Do..do you really want someone else to train you?

(Lexa)

No.. i didn't mean that. I was just..

(Kai hugs Lexa tightly but not too tight)

(Lexa's POV)

This is exactly what i need. Even thoguh he was the one who inflicted the pain, i feel safe in his arms. He held me tight and i leaned my head against his chest.

(Kai)

I'm really sorry, Lexa.

(Lexa's POV)

What can i say? It's okay? No i can't say that, because it isn't okay.

(Lexa)

It's okay.

(Kai)

No, no it's not okay. I shouldn't have done that and i hate myself for it.

(Lexa)

No, i..i should have done it like you said.

(Kai)

Don't say that. What i did was wrong and i know that. And i will never do it again. Is your back fine?

(Lexa)

Yeah, it healed.

(Kai)

I'm so, so sorry.

(Kai leans in for a kiss and kisses her)

(Lexa's POV)

His lips. I've been fantasizing about his lips ever since we kissed that time before he left for the job. I didn't do his kissing skills justice. It's way better than i remembered. But then again, every emotion is embedded in this kiss. Everything he's felt since yesterday and everything i've felt since yesterday, all bashed into one kiss. We just stood there and kissed for..God i don't ever know for how long. I lost track of time but it didn't matter. Only we did and the way we connected.

(Meanwhile)

(Jolene)

Hey Cellie.

(Celeste)

Don't call me that.

(Jolene)

Haven't Cal talked to you? I'm staying here for a while, which means you have to be nice to me.

(Celeste)

He mentions something about garbage. But it will be taken out soon.

(Jolene)

That's mature.

(Celeste)

I'm only stooping down to your level.

(Jolene)

You've always been jealous of how much he cares for me. It has always bothered you.

(Celeste)

Trust me, the only thing bothering me is you standing right in front of me.

(Jolene)

You've always been a bitch too.

(Kai and Lexa walks up to them)

(Kai)

Hey, you don't talk to her like that.

(Jolene)

You misunderstood me, son.

(Kai)

Don't call me that, i'm not your son.

(Lexa's POV)

That's his mom?

(Jolene)

I can't believe Cal is letting you affect him like this.

(Kai)

Trust me, this is all you. Do you think you can come back here after 17 years and whatever you want!?

(Celeste)

Kai, calm do..

(Kai)

No! you can punish me later! But you! You don't talk to her like that! She is the one who raised me and if anyone is going to be called my mom, it would be her! Either you play by our rules while staying here or you don't stay here at all! Lexa, let's go.

(Lexa)

Excuse me, Your Grace.

(Celeste)

It's fine Lexa, you can leave.

(Lexa follows Kai to his room)

(Lexa)

You okay?

(Kai)

Okay? That..that..woman..is a..

(Kai screams, Lexa puts her hands on his face and kisses him)

(Lexa's POV)

Oh shit. That worked. I got totally freaked out when he started to scream but.. Apparently me meeting his mouth caught him off guard.

(Celeste walks in and clears her throat)

(Lexa's POV)

Uh-oh.

(Celeste)

Am i interrupting anything? I wanted to check on you and make sure you didn't go rabid, but it seems Lexa's already calmed you down.

(Lexa's POV)

God, this is so embarrassing.

(Celeste)

I want to talk to you later, Kai.

(Kai)

Yeah, sure You Grace.

(Celeste leaves Kai's room)

(Lexa)

Oh god, i can't believe that happened.\

(Kai laughs)

(Lexa)

It's not funny.

(Kai)

I'm dead serious.

(Lexa)

Kia, where..i mean..what are the rules about.. you know..this?

(Kai)

We can do whatever we want with whomever we want, as long as it doesn't affect the work we do.

(Lexa)

Whatever we want?

(Kai)

Whatever we want.

(Lexa)

That sounds good to me. Where..um.. Where does this leave us?

(Kai)

Right here. I can't get my mind off of you Lexa. And boy have i tried. I wanted it to be professional between us but that's..kind of impossible when it comes to you.

(Lexa)

Is that so? By the way, is this your room? I get to have that dump and this is where you sleep every night?

(Kai)

You could join me tonight you know.

(Lexa's POV)

Okay, so how do i break the news about me being a virgin? I know, i know..a 21 year old virgin. Nicole hands it to me every day. I just haven't found anyone i've wanted to do it with, kind of.

(Kai)

What's wrong? Don't tell me i misread this whole you and me thing.

(Lexa)

No, it's not..not that.

(Kai)

Then what is it? We don't have to, that's not what i'm saying.

(Lexa)

Oh God..I can't believe i'm telling you this..

(Kai)

Telling me what?

(Lexa)

I'm..

(Lexa turns away from him)

(Kai)

No, hey. Look at me.

(Lexa turns around facing him again)

(Kai)

What is it? Just tell me.

(Lexa)

I'm..i haven't.. you know..

(Kai)

You haven't what? Why are you acting so weird? Oh! You mean..like..are you..? You're a virgin?

(Lexa)

It's just..

(Kai laughs)

(Lexa)

Stop laughing.

(Kai)

I'm sorry, i didn't mean it like that. It's just..the way you kissed me.. I don't know, i just never thought that you would be a virgin.

(Lexa)

Stop it.

(Kai)

No seriously, how come you haven't had sex?

(Lexa)

I told you, i only work and study.

(Kai)

Yeah but all the time?

(Lexa)

No, sometimes i sleep and sometimes i eat.

(Kai)

That's kind of sad. Don't you hang around people?

(Lexa)

In class..

(Kai)

No hey, i'm sorry. You just caught me off guard there. Look we don't have to do anything you don't want to do. I just want to hold you tonight. But that's hours away. Right now, we're going to practice.

(Lexa)

How can you change like that in a second? You do it all the time.

(Kai)

What can i say? It's one of my many talents. Take out your fangs for me.

(Lexa)

I..um..

(Kai)

Don't worry, i just want to see. I told you, i won't do that again.

(Kai's POV)

I won't, but i can't speak for everyone else.

(Lexa takes out her fangs)

(Lexa)

Hey, it didn't hurt!

(Kai)

Good. Let's go get going with the next thing.

(Lexa)

Maybe i should change first? Don't get me wrong, i like your sweater, it looks nice. I'm talking about my bra.

(Kai)

That looks nice too.

(Lexa)

Shut up.

(Kai)

Go change and meet me in the library in 20 minutes.

(Lexa)

You got it, Your Honor.

(Kai)

Now get your cute butt out of here.

(Lexa goes to her room)

(Lexa's POV)

Everything happened so fast. Just minutes ago i was crying my eyes out. But now..now i'm kind of happy. I have no idea what this thing is between us. But i really want to find out. I have never wanted to have sex before. I mean, I've had boyfriends and they have always wanted to. But it hasn't felt right for me. Only this time, it does. I really want to ..you know..sleep with him. I'm not sure if it's going to happen tonight though. But if it did happen, it's not like i would mind. Hm..okay. Let's get dressed.

(Lexa gets dressed)

(In the meantime)

(Kai)

What's up?

(Celeste)

I just want to know if you know what you're doing.

(Kai)

Well you know. I'm doing what i'm doing.

(Celeste)

Kai.

(Kai)

WHat do you want me to say?

(Celeste)

Will you be able to punish her again?

(Kai)

No. I'm never doing that to her again.

(Celeste)

At least you're honest. What are you going to do if she screws up?

(Kai)

She won't screw up.

(Celeste)

You said that right before she did last time.

(Kai)

I don't have to hit her, I can just yell at her.

(Celeste)

Will you do that then?

(Kai)

Probably not. I can beat everyone else up if you want, but not her. I promised her that i wouldn't do that again, and i won't.

(Celeste)

So what you're saying is that other superiors can punish her?

(Kai)

Not as long as i'm her trainer. No one touches her. And don't you dare take me away as her trainer. Sorry by the way for disobeying you earlier.

(Celeste)

It was nice of you to step up for me like that..but..

(Kai)

But you still have to punish me..

(Celeste)

Yeah, so get down. It'll only be five.

(Kai takes off his shirt and gets down)

(Kai)

You make it sound less horible adding the only..

(After the punishment)

(Celeste)

You okay?

(Kai)

Yeah, it wasn't so bad. Did you hold back?

(Celeste)

You know i don't hold back. Maybe my arm is a bit sore.

(Kai)

Right, sure.

(Celeste)

It doesn't look so bad, it'll heal in a few hours.

(Kai)

Was that all?

(Celeste)

Yes and you better come up with a plan for Lexa and make sure she sticks to it.

(Kai)

Yes, Your Grace.

(Lexa waits for Kai in the library and after a while he shows up)

(Kai)

You know..you should have heard me coming.

(Lexa)

You scared me.

(Kai)

That's what we're practicing now. Take a pick, who do you want to eavesdrop on?

(Lexa)

I thought eavesdropping was wrong.

(Kai)

It is but you still have to know how to do it. Choose, who do you want to listen to? Libby and the crew or Sami and Max?

(Lexa)

Max and Sami.

(Kai)

Focus all of your attention to your ears and kind of aim them toward the conversation. Focus.

(Lexa)

I can't focus when you're standing so close.

(Kai)

Come on, do it.

(Lexa)

Okay, okay.

(Max)

You do not have 5 points.

(Sami)

I do too. That time at the gate counts..

(Lexa)

I only heard a piece of the conversation then i couldn't hold it..

(Kai)

That's fine but you did hear something, right?

(Lexa)

Yeah, it was really cool. It was like i was standing right next to them, but actually i wasn't.

(Kai)

You'll be able to control it much more later. I just wanted you to try and see how it feels.

(Lexa)

Now what, Your Honor?

(Kai)

Now, you keep practicing. Go around the mansion and eavesdrop on people.

(Lexa)

Won't i get in trouble?

(Kai)

Don't worry babe, i'm giving you permission.

(Lexa)

Where are you going?

(Kai)

Celeste ordered me to the throne room. Gotta go see what she wants.

(Lexa)

Oh, okay.

(Kai)

Don't worry, i'll find you after.

(Lexa)

What is it i'm smelling? It smells like blood but it's not like..like blood.

(Kai)

Yeah..that's vampire blood.

(Lexa)

Vampire blood?

(Kai)

Yeah.

(Lexa)

Why am i smelling vampire blood? It's coming from you? Why are you bleeding?

(Kai)

Yeah, Celeste punished me before i got here.

(Lexa)

What? Why?

(Kai)

I talked back to her..you know..with that thing.

(Lexa)

But you did it for her..

(Kai)

It doesn't really matter. Those are the rules.

(Lexa)

Are you okay?

(Kai)

Don't worry i'm fine. I'll find you soon.

(Lexa)

Okay.

(Kai goes to the throne room)

(Kai)

Hey, i was told you wanted to see me here.

(Celeste)

Yes, i'm sorry for dragging you back and forth. I was told the feeder arrived the minute you left.

(Kai)

It's fine.

(Celeste)

I want you to see how he'll do the first feeding from a vein.

(Kai)

Okay.

(Celeste)

I sent for him too, so he should be here soon. Bring out the feeder would you?

(Kai)

Did you tell him?

(Celeste)

I told him there would be tests, but i didn't say what. I want to see his reaction.

(Tyler walks in the throne room)

(Tyler)

You wanted to see me, Your Grace?

(Kai bring out the feeder)

(Tyler)

That's a human. (He says surprisingly)

(Celeste)

Yes it is.

(Tyler)

Is this some kind of test?

(Celeste)

The test to be around humans comes after.

(Tyler)

After..?

(Celeste)

After you feed from a vein.

(Tyler)

A vein..? You want me to feed off of her?

(Celeste)

Yes. You can start whenever you're ready.

(Tyler)

But..i.. Am..am i allowed to let endorphins.. you know?

(Celeste)

Yes, that's not important. The feeders are doing this for the sake of endorphins.

(Tyler)

Oh..okay. What happens if i screw up?

(Celeste)

Don't worry Tyler, you won't screw up.

(Tyler starts feeding off of the feeder and stops a bit after)

(Celeste)

That was good. It was really good.

(Tyler)

Really?

(Celeste)

Yes. You're going out with Kai and others tonight to be among humans.

(Kai)

Tonight?

(Celeste)

Yes. Is there a problem?

(Kai)

No. No problem.

(Celeste)

Sami and Max are having one of their tests tonight. When they're done, the four of you will go out and Kai will be the superior.

(Tyler)

Yes, Your Grace.

(Kai's POV)

Why tonight of all nights? I was supposed to spend tonight with Lexa.

(Celeste)

Kai will come get you later.

(Tyler)

Yes, Your Grace. Am i excused?

(Celeste)

Yes and you did good.

(Tyler)

Thanks.

(Kai)

That was good of him.

(Celeste)

It really was.

(Kai)

Can i take some from her, Your Grace?

(Celeste)

Clean up after yourself.
