After Kandice finishes showering, Kai places a plate of dark chocolate waffles in front of her. She is then playing with her IPad on the couch. Then she asks Kai why she doesn't attend school and then he asks her if she wants to. She yells at him playfully and tells him that she doesn't. While he drinks his coffee, she brings a picture of her and Kai and he hugs her, and tells her how much he loves her.

In *Chapter 3*, While Kandice is drawing, there was a knock on the door, which makes Kai tell her to stay put. When Kandice notices that her father is now angry, she forgets what he says and walks slowly towards him. When Kandice is stopped by Kai, flames appear around her, which makes Kai siphon from her and use the power to stop the flames and protect her. After making sure she's okay, Kai tucks her in and tells her to watch cartoons and that everything is okay.

In *Chapter 4*, While Kai is working, Kandice appears in his room crying. She tells Kai that she had a bad dream, which makes Kai comfort her. He tells her that it was just a nightmare and that it's not real. He then picks her up laying her down next to him and she falls asleep.

In class, she's learning about WWII and she seems interested in this topic. Later on that night, Kandice tels Kai all about her day and how she met the twins Lizzie and Josie.

Kai sets a plate of mashed potatoes and meatloaf down in front of her and tells her that he's going to kill them.

In *Chapter 7*, Kandice is in bed and she still apologizes to him. He tells her its okay and she begins sniffling. She then asks him if the twins are going to take him away from him and he promises that he'll never let anyone take him from her. He then fixes the sheets and she lays her head on him.

When Alaric appears she is angry with him, but then he suddenly drops dead. Kai had snapped his neck and Kandice embraced him in a hug. She asks if he's okay. He fixes her hair, kisses her on the cheek and then takes her home. During the day Kai questions how she found her. She says "*she could feel him, but she couldn't see him. So, she closed her eyes and let herself be pulled to him. It made her sad seeing him tied up and trapped, then it just made her mad"*. She then reveals something shocking about herself. She reveals that she's gay and she fears that he wouldn't want her anymore. He tell's her that he'll always love her and he knew since she was little. She then tells him that he's the only man that makes her happy.

In *Chapter 11*, Kandice is having a fit. She tells Kai multiple times to leave her alone. She even goes so far as throwing her pillows at her and locking her door with magic. She then calls him "annoying" which makes him chuckle a little bit, and then he calls her annoying. When he sits with her he tells him to "fuck off". He tells her that he doesn't like the way she's been acting lately and she tells him she's losing her shit. Kai then tells her that she doesn't have to act this way and that she can tell him anything anytime which makes her cry and she apologizes to him. He says he gets it and that he's been through this phase as well.

She sees loneliness as less of a burden to bear than her formative experiences of loving so deeply and losing so terribly.
