Her stomach. Her stomach hurt as if someone was sticking something hot, something searing into her abdomen. She couldn't understand why she was hurting so badly, she couldn't remember. A whimper escaped her parted lips, her closed eye lids pressed harder down on each other, and her brows furrowed. She couldn't remember anything. The realization made panic grip her chest. Why couldn't she remember anything? Who was she? What was going on?
A shaky hand balled into a fist and came to rest next to the spot that hurt so bad.
She had to open her eyes she realized, maybe than she could remember something, maybe than things would start making sense. It was harder than she thought it should have been, and for a second she feared she had forgotten how to open her eyes and more panic gripped her. But after a few moments she found she could slowly crack one eye open, followed by her other one. At first, nothing happened, she couldn't comprehend what she was seeing, but soon enough her mind began to function again.
A ceiling, her mind supplied. It was dull white, uninteresting. She realized she was on a couch, she could just tell although she couldn't tell you how. She blinked slowly a couple of times before slowly moving her eyes, working them down from the ceiling and over the walls before they hit the hardwood floor.
She frowned and turned her head, a loud gasp escaped her and her body stiffened after she flinched backwards. A man sat on the other side of the coffee table, his dark eyes trained on her, expression blank.
Who was he?
They stared at one another for a long time, his gaze unnerved her because she couldn't tell what he was thinking or how he was feeling. Her body began to shake with confusion and fear.
"You're in trouble, Bonster." The man finally spoke an odd smile working its way onto his lips. She found the smile more unnerving than his silence. "That's alright though, because you're going to fix it." He stopped talking and seemed to wait for her to say something, his expression odd.
Bonnie was to afraid to move, so she remind in her awkward position on the couch. She was in trouble? She knew that wasn't good.
"I'm sorry," she squeaked out, amazed at the sound of her own voice. The man raised an eyebrow, dark eyes narrowed slightly. "I'm sorry," she repeated again, taking his expression to not be a good one. "I, who are you?"
His eye brows shot upwards and he leaned forward as she were an interesting piece of art to study. "What game are you trying to play, Bonnie?"
She quickly shook her head and found the courage to move a little and sit up out of her awkward position. "I'm not playing a game." She met his eyes but found she couldn't for long, they were so dark, though that confused her because the color was simply brown. "I can't remember what I did to you." She spoke quickly. "I can't remember why I'm in trouble with you. I can't remember who you are. I can't remember who I am."
He was quiet for a long time, his face blank once again. He studied her face, burning holes and making her twitch uncomfortably. After awhile he must have found what he was looking for because he smiled, a smile that made his eyes bright and all of his teeth show. "You should have said so sooner," he said jovially. She couldn't understand why he was so happy when she was so afraid because of the blank spot in her mind. He was standing in front of her before she knew it and he grabbed her hand and tugged her to her feet. She flinched at first, but relaxed because of the lightness of the man's touch. His smile had also lost its edge and seemed nice and open. "You're name is Bonnie and my name is Kai." He finally said.
"Bonnie?" She repeated slowly. She couldn't tell if that was really her name or not, it didn't make her feel anything, but she guessed she would trust this man. "And you're Kai." She said. He nodded quickly. Bonnie bit her lip and glanced down at her hand which he was still holding. "Why can't I remember anything?"
Kai seemed to really consider her question, eyes working across the ceiling. "I'm not sure. As far as I know the only part of you that's hurt is your stomach." As if his words were a magic key, Bonnie's stomach gave a sharp tug and pain exploded inside of her, making her legs wobble. She cried out weakly. Kai quickly helped her sit back down on the couch.
"I'm sorry," he said quickly as she leaned back and shook in pain.
"What happened to me?" She whimpered. Why was she hurt?
"You were bad," Kai whispered seriously, making her frown. "But we'll converse on that another time, right now I'm going to fix you up, alright, Bonsters?"
Not having any idea what else to do, Bonnie nodded jerkily.
(RY)
Bonnie watched Kai work on her stomach with half-lidded eyes, teeth sank deep into her lip. She watched his face instead of the needle moving in and out of the flesh on her stomach. Her body still shook, but Kai's soothing words calmed her down a little.
"All done," Kai said standing up and wiping his bloodied hands on a blue rag. Bonnie ran her hands lightly over the bandage placed on her stomach. "Now," he said with a bright smile, "do you want to hear about how you got into trouble or rest?"
Bonnie sat up the best she could without hurting herself. She was desperate to fill in the blanks in her mind. "What did I do?" She questioned quickly. "I mean, I would like to hear what happened."
Kai hummed and sat himself down on the coffee table. He nodded. " First though, what do you say when someone helps you?" He nodded towards her stomach.
Bonnie frowned in confusion, not understanding. He frowned at her which made her think harder. "Thank you?" she offered unsure if that's what he wanted. A bright smile took over his face.
"You're very welcome, Bonnie." He sang with a smile that was gone a second later, replaced by a tight frown. The mood swing was so quick and sudden it put Bonnie on edge. "Now, as for what it was that happened," he paused. After a moment he looked her in the eye, gaze full of dissatisfaction and what she could only describe as some sort of sadness. "You trusted a beguiler vampire over me, a fellow witch." Bonnie frowned in confusion. Vampires? Witches? She was a witch? "He allowed him to trick you and take our only way home."
Bonnie was more confused than ever. "Home? This isn't home?" She questioned looking around the living room. She didn't recognize it, but she had assumed this was her home or Kai's. "I don't understand." She admitted.
Kai sighed and shook his head as if he were tired. "You see," he began, "this place we're in is like a prison. The whole world, there's no one else here but us." Bonnie's eyes widened. There was no one else here but them? "Our way back to the real world was stolen by a vampire who you chose to trust, now we're stuck here."
Bonnie's stomach churned. "Why would I do that?"
Kai's brown eyes saddened and he looked away from her. "I suppose the love between us wasn't strong enough."
Bonnie frowned deeply at that. "What are we to each other?" She forced herself to ask, afraid for some reason of the answer.
"I believed you loved me until you chose that vampire over me." Bonnie frowned. "I suppose it was all just a fraud and you were just using me."
"No," Bonnie said quickly. She didn't think she would use anyone, she really didn't. "If, if I said I love you, I do. What happened was just a misunderstanding I'm sure." She defended.
"How would you know?" Kai asked, slightly aggressively. "You can't remember, now can you? You have no idea what type of person you was, Bonnie. You have no idea all of the things you put me through."
He was right, she didn't know. Bonnie looked down, twisting her fingers together as she thought. "I'm sorry," she finally said. She looked up. "There has to be another way out of here, though, right?"
Kai stared at her, face blank. She looked away uncomfortably. "I can't trust in you anymore, Bonnie."
His words struck a cord within her and her chest tightened. She wasn't trustworthy? She obviously wasn't if the only person she had in the world didn't trust her. She watched him stand and start to walk away. "Where are you going?" She asked quickly, swinging her feet off the couch and onto the floor.
"Trusting you is no longer an option, Bonnie." Than he left her alone.
(RY)
Bonnie couldn't tell you how long she was alone, just that she was left alone with her thoughts and blank memories. Kai didn't come back but his words replayed in her mind everyday. He couldn't trust her. Apparently she had loved him but had betrayed him. Why would she do something like that? Who was this vampire that stole from them and hurt her?
It was the fourth day and Bonnie was still sitting on the couch, her legs hugged against her even though it hurt.
She wished Kai would come back and found herself to afraid to go outside and look for him. He had left behind bandages and other things she needed to keep her wound cleaned and cared for and there was also food in the cabinets when she had energy enough to go look.
She was lonely and guilt-ridden.
The front door opened and closed making her quickly look up, heart pounding. Her fear lessened a little when she saw it Kai. He stopped in the threshold of the living room and they stared at each other.
He came back and she was relived to see him and she offered him a smile, his face remained blank.
"Unlike you," he began, "I can't betray you, I'm a dumb-ass." He came back for her.
"Thank you," she said quickly, wanting to show she was appreciative. He turned around as if he was about to leave the room. Bonnie heart jumped. "Where are you going?" She asked quickly, fear tinting her voice. She didn't want to be alone again. He kept his back to her for a long time before finally spinning around.
"I'm going to turn on the shower for you, we have a long day ahead of us."
Bonnie wasn't sure what he meant, but she was happy he wasn't going to leave her again.
After her shower, Bonnie stared at her reflection in the foggy, bathroom mirror. She took in her short damp, black hair, green eyes, and brown skin. She couldn't recognize herself.
"Are you alright in here?"
Bonnie gasped her eyes shoot up to meet Kai's reflection and unconsciously covered grabbed at the towel wrapped around her body. "What are you doing?" She asked loudly.
Kai frowned at her, looking displeased. "We don't have secret's, Bonnie." He said chidingly. "Meaning I have and can see your body at anytime." He cocked his head to the side. "Or I thought we didn't before Damon came along."
Damon? Was that the name of the vampire she was tricked by?
Her hands feel away from the towel and she bit her her. "You surprised me is all." She said quietly. "I won't keep secrets from you anymore." She promised.
Kai didn't seemed convinced. "Come on, I'm going to dress your wound."
Bonnie quickly nodded and followed him out of the bathroom.
His hands were so gentle as he cleaned and bandaged her wound. He really seemed to care about her, despite what she had done. Bonnie stomach sank. "You still care about me enough to help me, even after what I did?" She stated, but it came out as a question.
Kai glanced up at her and shrugged. He ran his hand over the edge of the bandage he had just applied, lightly skimming over her flesh. "What can I say, I'm a sucker."
Bonnie guilt grew even more, it was obviously Kai cared about her deeply. What type of person did that make her to betray someone like that? "Thank you," she said once again as she pulled her shirt down and sat up on the bed she had been placed on. "You said we had a lot to do today?" She questioned.
He nodded. "I'm going to force myself to trust in you again, Bonnie." He said with a deep frown. Bonnie sat up straighter at the news. "Only if you promise to never betray me again. We're all each other has, don't mess that up again, please."
"I won't," Bonnie promised. "I promise I won't betray you ever again. I'm with you. We are all each other have."
Kai smiled.
