He couldn’t believe his luck. Kai Parker had been stuck on a prison world for nearly 20 years, so he did miss out on a lot. As a kid in the 1980s, he used to pop in a cassette tape and slide on headphones to listen to his music. It helped a lot when he was trying to drown out all the constant arguments with his father. One could only take so much statements of failure and how much of a mistake he was before he just had to silence all of it. Silencing it came in one form or another. He started out with a Sony Walkman and Guns and Roses Appetite for Destruction so high that he just stared up at his father with a smug grin on his face. The fact that Kai didn’t hear his father and kept grinning at him often irritated his father so much he had gotten redfaced. It was a game to Kai to see how quickly the Gemini Coven leader would lose his temper and walk away.

Walkmans didn’t exist anymore. While he looked as though he was in his early 20s still, Kai was technically over 40. The thought of it really bummed him out. Being that old meant that he would actually have to be responsible. He scoffed at the notion. Standing in the electronics store, he discovered the iPod and watched the wonderful things it could do. “C-can I see one of those?” He pointed to the iPod that was being shown to another customer.

The salesperson was a perky blonde who was giving him the once over. One didn’t have to be a witch to know she was imagining him horizontal. “I’d be glad to.” She took out the iPod and began to explain to him how it worked. He listened to her and was learning how these things worked. It wasn’t too hard to figure out in all this world that was far different from what he remembered. He tapped a few things and brought up blast from the past. The song was called Welcome to the Jungle and was his favorite on the entire album. In his mind’s eye he could see his father screaming at him again about how much of a monster he was. He couldn’t believe that one of HIS children was actually a siphon. He glanced up with a chilling smile curling his lips. He stuck the ear piece inside his right ear. It didn’t take long for the music to start playing the song he’d chosen. “Well that’s sure easy.” His right hand shot out and clasped around the girl’s throat squeezing as hard as he could. His fingernails dug deep into her flesh. “Pity you’re not a witch. Ah what the hell. I’ll kill you anyway.”

The woman squirmed in his grasp trying to punch his hand to get him let go. The only thing it did was make him laugh. He turned the volume all the way as far as it would go. In his mind’s eye, Joshua Parker’s judgmental face was screaming at him again telling him that he was an abomination that would never lead their coven.

Welcome to the jungle, we've got fun and games
We got everything you want honey, we know the names
We are the people that can find whatever you may need
If you got the money, honey we got your disease

Jungle, welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your shun n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n knees, knees
Uh I, I wanna watch you bleed

Kai kept squeezing. The blood from the wounds caused by his fingernails was nice and warm. He could feel the liquid threatening to loosen his grip as her windpipe was being quite literally destroyed. The louder the music placed on the iPod the angrier he got. The blood from his victim poured down his hand. He tossed the body down on the ground. It took a lot of strength to crush someone’s windpipe like he had just done. HE glanced at her body laying there all contorted and in it’s death throes. “Too bad Sweetheart. You’d have just bored me anyway.”

Kai walked out of the electronics store in this little strip mall with his arms coated in blood. He’d continued playing the music so high that he’d not heard the fact her screams had brought about a contingent of uniformed officers. The policemen were all screaming at him again pointing their weapons at him. He canted his head to the left. They were all hiding behind opened car doors pointing weapons at him. Surely they didn’t think they could actually stop him?

Welcome to the jungle, we take it day by day
If you want it you're gonna bleed but it's the price to pay
And you're a very sexy girl, very hard to please
You can taste the bright lights, but you won't get there for free
In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Feel my, my, my serpentine
Uh, I, I want to hear you scream

They were yelling at him with a bullhorn. He just smiled at them. Did they really actually think they were going to stop him? He started to laugh. It was a good thing he was still juiced up from absorbing the magical dome that surrounded good old Mystic Falls. He extended his right hand and waved it in front of him. The human police officers that had been called to the scene all felt themselves being lifted from their feet. Kai pulled his fingers together bringing the men together in a violent fashion. The sounds of bones crunching was accompanied by a spray of blood that was a perfect arc. He pulled his hand down rapidly bringing the bodies down to the ground into a mass of blood and flesh. His eyes fluttered. The violence was orgasmic.

The music blared in his earpiece. He actually started to sing with lyrics as they played in his ear. The faces of Gemini Coven members were all taking the place of the crowd that was gathering. Some ran as he killed the policemen. Others were drawn into the violence watching it. The had never seen anything like Kai Parker and they were not going to ever be able to tell anyone else about it. He extended his right hand toward the crowd. Several bodies closest to him quite literally exploded.

Welcome to the jungle, it gets worse here every day
You learn to live like an animal in the jungle where we play
If you got hunger for what you see, you'll take it eventually
You can have everything you want but you better not take it from me
In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n knees, knees
Uh ah, I'm gonna watch you bleed
And when you're high you never ever wanna come down
So down, so down, so down, yeah

You know where you are?
You're in the jungle baby
You're gonna die
In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your shun n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n knees, knees
In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Feel my, my, my serpentine
In the jungle welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your shun n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n knees, knees
Down the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to you
It's gonna bring you down, huh

Leaving behind a bloody mass of human internal organs, the CSI team that would try to interpret what happened later would be left absolutely baffled. The only thing they would learn is that one man walked away covered in blood. They found it odd that he was singing a Guns and Roses song as he walked away relatively untouched. The handsome man was covered in blood and human entrails looking as though he was sitting on top of the world.
