CW: dub-con smut
"There's no way Kai Anderson is running for city council," Jude shoves her phone in your face, adamant that you see what she has. You take her phone from her, squinting as you scroll through the comments on a Facebook post advertising Kai Anderson's campaign.
"That fucker," you mumble under your breath, handing Jude her phone back and standing from the sofa to move over to your desk.
"What are you thinking?" Jude asks you, sitting beside you on the floor in a beanbag, taking a crisp from the bag and popping it into her mouth.
"We have to take him down," you say, as if it was obvious, your eyes glued to the computer screen as you research your local city office's opening hours.
"And how exactly are you going to do that?" Jude asks smugly, entertained by your hatred towards Kai, but equally interested.
"I'm going to run for city council too, we'll get all the girls together, whisk up a campaign," you turn to Jude with wide, hopeful eyes, "Anderson has women in his cult, Jude, we have to get them out."
"That is absolutely insane Y/N," Jude only laughs at your absurd idea, until she sees you maintain your straight face, and her own smile fades.
"I'm serious, he can't- he can't get away with this shit," you tug on the roots of your hair as you turn back to your desktop screen, digging your elbows into the tabletop of your desk. Closing your eyes, the image of Kai Anderson's stupid face was almost permanently drawn behind your eyelids.
"Yeah, but Y/N, Kai Anderson is a cult leader and like murderer. We're just a bunch of college students studying English lit and gender studies," Jude scoffed, standing from the beanbag and pacing to the kitchen. Although it didn't seem reasonable to go after an experienced serial killer with a mass following, nothing was reasonable about the situation.
"So what? We're just going to let him win?" you ask her, your tone laced with defeat. You couldn't do this alone and having your best friend by your side would make things a whole lot easier.
"I don't know Y/N," Jude hesitates before coming back to your side, placing a hand reassuring on your shoulder, "do you think we can really beat him?"
You smile at her change in attitude, looking up at her with sparkling eyes.
"I know we can."

Together, you and Jude head to Kai Anderson's campaign rally, wearing dark tinted sunglasses and the most inconspicuous clothing. You had to know exactly what obscene ideas he was drilling into the people of Brookfield Heights, and the only way you could do that, was by actively participating in his rally. You sat at the back of his rally, already adorned with loving followers holding up home-made signs indoctrinating others to vote for Kai. The sight alone made you cringe, and you weren't sure how you'd react to see Kai come out on stage. You didn't have to wonder for long, because in that moment, Kai Anderson stepped onto the stage, receiving a round of applause from the audience.
"What an amazing turn out!" Kai called out, only inciting more excitement from the crowd. Your eyes narrowed as you tried to take in his clean-cut appearance.
His hair was slicked back and all up in a bun. His torso was clad in a white button up, a grey blazer draped over his shoulders and a red tie knotted around his neck. He looked to play the part, as he started talking about the patriots of America, and ways that "America can be made great again".
"What a load of bullshit," Jude whispered into your ear from next to you, taking a cigarette from her jacket pocket and placing it between her lips. You took a mental note of how charismatic Kai was, and how he basked in the power given to his by his supporters. All it did was make you feel sick.
