Bonnie Bennett stood in the deepest part of the woods. The moon glistened above her and even the trees could not hide her from the danger that was approaching. Bonnie dug into her palms so hard she drew blood. She thought maybe if she could concentrate hard enough, she could get her powers back. Maybe if she used every part of her mind, her body, she could conjure up a spell. Something that could keep him away from her. It was useless. Any powers that she had was taken long ago by Kai Parker.

She closed her eyes and tried to block him out but she could feel Kai getting closer. The sound of twigs and tree barks underneath his feet were loud. She was convinced he was loud intentionally. He wanted her to know every second he was closing in on her.

Bonnie took a deep breath and prepared herself. Every night it was the same thing. She had come to this spot in the woods because it was where he wanted her. Maybe it was a spell or maybe compulsion. She was not sure. All she knew is every night, she was always there waiting on him, reliving his twisted games.

She felt the tingling against the back of her neck. His hands wrapping around her waist as he buried his nose in her hair. Slowly, he moved them until they were right underneath her breast. "You ready to forgive me," he whispered in her ear. Bonnie bit down hard on her bottom lip and tried to ignore the chill running through her. But when there was no response, he spun her around towards him so fast, she almost lost her footing.

"Please," he begged but Bonnie remained silent. Kai's fingers pressed hard into her arms and he tried to force her to look into his eyes. "Please," he begged again. This time a little softer. A little more desperate. Yet, Bonnie remained unfazed. Instead, she hit at his chest and tried her best to push away from him. Kai laughed and released her. So hard that she stumbled backwards. Then he looked at her. His eyes turned to that of a child seeking forgiveness. He reached out towards her and Bonnie defiantly bagged away. Then the anger appeared again. He grabbed her by her face and Bonnie felt her body lifting until she was on her toes.

"Damn it." Kai walked away from her. "It shouldn't be like this." He stopped but kept his back turned to her. His fangs begin to show. They always came out when he was emotional. He had not quite gotten use to controlling the vampire side of him. It was worse around Bonnie, considering anything he had felt for the last few months revolved around her. She made him more then just emotional. She made him crazy. But not that crazy psycho she was used too. There was something different about his intentions this time. He no longer felt the need to punish her. Torture her. He just wanted to be close to her. For her to forgive him and understand that he was a different man now.

Kai rushed towards Bonnie and grabbed her by her arms again. "You are so damn stubborn," he yelled, shaking her a little. She remained silent. Kai stretched his hands down his face and let out a yell of frustration. Nothing was right. No amount of compulsion or spells could get him what he really wanted from Bonnie. Yet, he was too hopeless to stop trying. He felt desperate for her and no one was safe when Kai Parker felt desperation.

He had tried compelling her for weeks. Each night, luring her towards the woods, forcing her to hear him out. Spending the entire night with her. Then releasing her in the morning. Hoping that a little of what had happened between them would stay with her. Each night always brought forth the same results. Bonnie Bennett hating him a little more then she had the day before.

Of course, he could keep her brainwashed but that was not what Kai wanted in the long run. He did not want a compelled Bonnie. He wanted the real Bonnie. Yet, the only way he could even get her to listen was under a spell. She would never forgive him like she had Damon. Frankly, he did not want to wait as many years as it took Damon to finally make his way into her heart.

"Look at me," He pressed his thumbs gently against her temples. "I'll say it every second. Every minute. Every night. One day you will feel it. One day I'll get you to see Bonnie Bennett. One day you'll look into my eyes and you will know what I feel for you."

"You feel for me." Her voice was weak but still had awakened every emotion inside Kai.

"I feel for you," Kai shook his head. "I know I don't deserve it. I know there are things that I did to you that I can never take back."

"What did you do to me," she asked innocently.

Kai let her go and stepped back again. "Fuck." He paced and shoved his hands in his pocket, pulling out a set of keys. He begin tossing them up and down in the air as he paced. They were here again. And again he was stuck. How could he answer that question? All the horrible things he had done to her. Of course she knew. They both knew but since he had merged with Luke, he had vowed to never speak those actions aloud. What if he confessed them to the night sky and somehow his fate would be sealed and the Gods or whoever controlled this forsaken nightmare of a world they lived in would never allow Bonnie Bennett to forgive him.

But then again, there was no point in asking forgiveness from Bonnie. She was the most stubborn woman he had ever met. She had no intentions of ever letting him off the hook.

Kai was not too sure how long he could keep up the act. It was all too much trying to heal hearts and make amends. He much preferred a world where he did not have to take responsibilities for his actions. Where guilt did not exist.

But standing right in front of him was a constant threat to his narcissism. Easily the most beautiful woman he had ever witness but also the most dangerous. She made him vulnerable.

"Is everything okay," she asked, reaching for his hands. Their fingertips barely touched but the sensation went through him as if her hands were a taser. He had always controlled himself with her but this night was testing his patience. What reason did he have to be a gentleman?

"Tonight you will treat me like we belong to each other." His words were hypnotizing and she had no choice but to follow

He pulled Bonnie to his chest, leaned in and took in the citrus smell of her hair. He tilted her chin upwards and forced her to look directly at him. His eyes burned with passion. An unfamiliar and dangerous passion that even Kai did not know if he had full control of it. He wanted her to know just how much he craved her. That he intended to devour her.

Kai ran his fingers through her dark curls and allowed her face to settle between his hands. Her eyes closed and he could hear her heart racing. Her lips parted as she waited for him. Kai grinned wickedly.

"Not yet," he whispered. He gently kissed her under her ear. Then allowed his tongue to tickle her skin. He could feel her body tremble and he knew he had her right where he wanted her. Bonnie was going to ache for him. More then she had ever ached for anything in her life. He would make sure of that. She would experience excruciating lust just waiting for a simple kiss.

Kai was so close that Bonnie could feel his breath against her skin. He played around with the belt loop of her pants pushing her back from him a little. He laughed at her as she stumbled.

"This is all a game to you," she said, playfully slapping his hands away.

He pulled her up into his arms. "It's not a game."

"Then what are you doing. I think you are going to kiss me and then you don't."

"I want too." He kissed the tip of her nose.

"If you wanted to then you would."

"I love this area too much," he teased, nibbling at her shoulder blade.

A few playful kisses quickly became more aggressive as Kai moved his way up. Bonnie grabbed him by the back of his head and suddenly they were in the mist of passion. It was then he finally made it to her lips. The moment when she struggled with his belt buckle as he tugged at the buttons on her blouse. He kissed her. When he walked her backwards until her back landed against a tree. He kissed her more. The moment her body begged for him and she wrapped one of her legs around his thigh as he pressed against her. He kissed her stronger, like an animal in heat.

Like the animal he was, Kai's eyes turned to coal. He knew he was transitioning but he could not control it. The more he yearned for Bonnie, the more he could fee the darkness creeping in. Kai gripped the back of Bonnie's hair and exposed her neck. His fangs protruded out of his gums like a switchblade.

He could hear Bonnie struggling but he was too gone. He grazed his teeth against a small vein in his neck. She was too intoxicating and just as he was about sink his teeth into her, Bonnie screamed.

There was an awkwardness between the two as Kai bagged away from her.

"Kai, please don't...," she pleaded "Please..." He looked at Bonnie and her eyes were closed to him. He could see her body trembling and he knew he had crossed the line. Bonnie had gone from pleasure to terror.

"Open your eyes."

She trembled more.

"I said open your eyes," he screamed, pushing her hard against the tree.

Her lids rose slowly and her eyes were glossed from fear. The one thing Kai had never wanted to see from Bonnie again. It was his reasons for summoning her here in the first place. In the middle of the woods, where no one could disturb them.

Kai's fangs snapped back in place and his eyes softened. He had been caught up in the moment. Now he was back at square one with Bonnie.

He walked towards her and she grimaced the closer he got. He reached for the bottom buttons on her blouse and begin fixing her. He tucked her blouse into her blue jeans and straightened her collar. He ran his fingers through her hair again and brought her curls back over her shoulders. Where they had been the first time he had saw her that night. He moved in close.

"What are you doing?"

"Just trust me."

"Bonnie Bennett, you will forget this ever happened tonight. You will walk away from me and forget I ever compelled you. Now, go home."

Kai grabbed her by her shoulders and pushed her in front of him. She walked away and never turned back . Only when she was out of his sight, did he allow himself to breakdown.

"I'm sorry." He mumbled in the wind.

Then he hit the tree with so much force his knuckles begin to bleed.
