Kai took Elena and everyone was freaking out, cloaking spell in place it was impossible to find her. For someone who was born without magic Kai was very resourceful.

Talking to the sneaky "kidnapper" Damon found out Kai wanted to force Bonnie, as a Bennett witch, to destroy the spell that put him in the 1994 prison and he'd release Elena, bonus: he'd get Bonnie out of the loop and they could all go their separate ways, which for Kai it was taking over the Gemini coven without the risk of being sent to his prison again.

The deal seemed simple enough but Damon knew Bonnie wouldn't like it. "Witches…" He murmured driving his Camaro to the Boarding House where the gang had agreed to meet.

Everyone was already there as he entered the living room, he eyed Caroline that maintained her composure despite the awful news about her mother. The others were waiting for Damon to speak, since he had been the one to negotiate with Kai.

When Damon finished talking the room went silent for a moment, Stefan spoke up first "I know we don't want to give Kai anymore freedom, destroying the prison world is bad but we can figure something out, we have to get Elena and Bonnie back".

"I don't care about Kai, whatever, let's get them back, Bonnie suffered enough and now my sister is in danger" Jeremy said.

"Little Gilbert, Bonnie let herself be trapped with him so he wasn't unleashed into this world and you honestly think she'll destroy the spell for Kai? Destroying the time loop reality along with it?" Damon responded in his direction with more aggressiveness than necessary. Damon went for the bar to pour himself a drink.

"You said Kai gave you time until tomorrow morning right? Then go back with him to get Bonnie out of that horrible place, she'll know what to do, she's Bonnie". Caroline started to tear up as she spoke. "We can't leave her there, if Kai finds another way to do want he wants, Bonnie will be gone for good!"

Damon looked at her, distressed, she was right and he knew it. He has to get to Bonnie first, Elena was safe, locked somewhere but Bonnie… He couldn't fail her again.

"Right, tomorrow it's time to get Bon-Bon out of seclusion and everything will be right again" Damon finished his drink and headed for his room, but Stefan couldn't help to notice Damon didn't include the name "Elena" in his sentence.

Damon barely slept and at 9.00 am sharp he was standing with Kai in the cemetery, ready for another trip via the ascendant. Kai didn't bring Elena along but assured she was well and he had even popped a vein for her, she'd be returned when he got want he wanted.

Damon was restraining himself so hard from biting Kai's head off that he didn't notice the white light appear and disappear as they arrived in good old 1994. "Didn't think I'd be back" Kai said merrily. Damon ignored him and proceed to walk to the Boarding House while putting the rest of Lucy Bennett's blood in his jacket pocket. On his back, Ms. Cuddles was safely kept in his bag.

"Bonnie, Bonnie!" Damon shouted as they approached the house, he saw as the door opened and Bonnie ran to him but stopped when she saw Kai.

"Hi Bonnie" Kai greeted sarcastically. Bonnie rolled her eyes, rage was taking over the relief of Damon's presence, what was Kai doing there?.

"No, no and no" Bonnie sang for the third time to Kai's smirking face, he was amused the witch really was a fighter.

"Hey I'm asking nicely, your friend Elena is in peril, isn't saving everyone your default setting? Uh?"

Bonnie's sighed heavily, of course she was worried about Elena, Kai was a sociopath but destroying this prison world? It was a good idea but only she if managed to trap Kai there again so he would have what he deserved or simply locking the spell so he'd never have a way out again ….

She looked at Damon, she could almost seem "I'm sorry" written in his eyes. "What do you say Bon?" he asked.

"I need more time to think, since Kai has all that power from the Travelers spell and we don't need to depend on the eclipse to get out, surely he can give me some time to think" Bonnie looked smugly at Kai.

"Right…" Kai started "but I'm done waiting" He went for Bonnie but in a flash Damon was behind him and snapped his neck. "Now you've got time" Damon winked at her.

Bonnie let herself be happy for a moment and impulsively hugged Damon, he was startled at first but then hugged her back tightly, no words were necessary.

Then they went for the Camaro and drove away, Bonnie had decided that it was best to hide Ms. Cuddles in a safe place so Kai couldn't force her to destroy the spell, Damon had argued that they should put Kai in the dungeon and steal the ascendant but Bonnie reasoned that once they're were back they might not be able to find Elena under Kai's cloaking spell, they still needed him.

Damon drove Bonnie to the ruins of the house he was born, Bonnie had said she wanted to hide Ms. Cuddles in a place that belonged to her family, but Kai knew where she lived in Mystic Falls so Damon suggested they went to the little house Emily had down from his house, he showed Bonnie the place. Some walls were still standing, Bonnie looked around "It was so small" she said, mostly to herself.

"True but in those days things were hard, as you know" Damon gestured to her "Emily got this little place thanks to Miss Katherine" Damon said.

Bonnie noticed something in the middle of the weeds, a trap door, she opened it with the help of Damon's vampire strength, inside there was a small grimoire and some amulets. She picked them up, she'd have to go through that another time, Kai should be awoke by now so she hurriedly hid Ms. Cuddles and got in the car with Damon back to the Boarding House.

"When we're back, I need time with the Camaro too" she told Damon playfully.

Damon faked a shocked looked "No way! She's mine, do you know Stefan fixed it for me in the real world?" Damon smiled remembering his brother's gift. "Okay, maybe we can work a schedule, you can get the Camaro on some weekends" Damon chuckled softly.

The house was quiet when they arrived and Kai was nowhere to be found, they searched everywhere but no Kai, no ascendant, nothing.

"He fooled us, the damn bastard fooled us". Damon yelled angrily. "I kept Lucy's blood how did he get out?"

"Damon… he should still have some of my blood…".

"What are we going to do now?".
