Bonnie sat on the edge of the bathtub, wrapped in a towel. The water ran continuously from the faucet though she had finished her shower over an hour ago. So many times, she had walked towards the door and turned the knob. She had not been ready to face Kai. He was on the other side of the door and although she was still in his cabin, she was not sure how she felt about it.

She starred hopelessly at her flappers dress, balled up on the floor in front of her. All the things that should have happened that night. Her and Dale dancing all night until they closed down the club. Holding her in his arms and making her feel like she was the only one in the room. Taking her back home and making love to her for the first time. Something she had thought she wanted. The guy with the good heart, who would always do right by her.

That was not the guy who rescued her that night. Not the guy who had kissed her on the bridge and made her feel things she never thought she would feel for him. The guy who carried her off that bridge and back to his cabin was not Dale. He was no where close to being Dale? How many times had Kai admitted his shortcomings . It was almost as if he was proud of them. It excused him uninhibitedly pulling the world into his madness.

Bonnie stood on that bridge and all she could give him was silence. She waited for the wrath but had been confronted by her own resistance. That kiss thrust on her with such a beastly abandon and a blatant ignorance of her feelings. She should have gone for his throat. Yet, there was only stillness.

She wondered how she had allowed Kai to get in her head. It was just a kiss and no different then any other time she had been kissed. Hadn't she felt the same stream of emotions traveling through her with Jeremy? Dale? Either of them. It made no sense why she felt queasy thinking about it. Why there was a rush going through her like a car speeding off track. Her body was betraying her.

There were things she had blocked since the first time Kai showed his true colors. Those things were creeping back in as she sat there trying to figure him out. Being intrigued by his good looks, the darkness, the danger. The way he had stared at her like in his mind, her panties had already hit the floor.

"Go." Just a single word and it had gone through her like his hands were still against her chest. Bonnie knew he was right. She needed to leave. She had so many reasons why she should but one important reason why she could not. Being around Kai was a safer choice. Going home meant she would have to face Damon. How could she do that when the woman he loved most in the world had attacked her? He would be forced to choose and Bonnie was not so sure that he would choose her.

"Fine, I'll leave then and you can go back to figuring your way out these woods."

Bonnie watched as Kai walked away from her. She did not want to stop him but she did not want him to leave either. Her pride was withering. "Fine," she whispered. Though she knew Kai had heard her, he kept walking. He was going to make her beg. As all his other victims had. "I said fine, Kai," she yelled after him. He stopped near a great oak and leaned back against it. He shoved his hands in his pocket and waited for her to be the first to speak.

"I don't have any where else to go," she said, her head held low. "Well, not any where I want to go."

Those were her last words and how she ended up back in this cabin, stuck in the bathroom like a child hiding from the boogeyman. Kai lived off fear. The longer she stayed in this bathroom, the more power she gave him.

Bonnie stood and made her way towards the door. She took a deep breath before turning the knob. She stepped out of the bathroom and for the first time noticed how small the cabin had been. There was just one room that fit a king size bed in the corner. A green sofa in front of a fire place and a four chair dining room table directly in back of it. The kitchen was small and might as well have been a closet. But everything was neat and in it's place. Bonnie realized that even if Kai gave her the bed and he took the couch she would still be close to him. There was no door to shut him out. Unless she planned on sleeping in the tub.

Bonnie looked on the bed and noticed a black t-shirt folded. She picked it up and read the front . "What the hell is a Wu Tang Clan." She removed her towel and slipped the shirt over her head.

She barely had the shirt completely on when Kai walked back into the cabin, carrying a couple of pizza boxes and few other bags. Bonnie stretched on the bottom of the shirt to pull in further toward her knees. He noticed but said nothing as he made his way towards the dining room table.

"I thought you might be hungry," he said, opening up one of the pizza boxes. "I took a guess that you would like pizza. Everyone likes pizza, right? "I got half pepperoni, half sausage on this one. Then I thought she might be a vegetarian," he reaches for the other box. "Cheese! I guess I should have asked what in particular you wanted to eat but you stayed in the bathroom so long, I thought if I knocked, you might jump out the window and make a run for it," he laughed.

"I'm fine," she said, sitting down on the bed.

Kai grabbed the pizza box and walked towards her. "Come on, Bonnie. You can eat. I promise I didn't put a secret potion in the sauce." He laid the box on the bed beside her and took a slice out for himself.

"I'm not going to fall into a deep trance, right," she smiled, as she took a slice out of the box.

"You have my word." He walked back towards the kitchen area. "I got other things here," he said, dumping a bag of junk food on the table.

"How did you have time for all that shopping?"

"I avoided Mystic Falls if that's what you are concerned about. You are still safe from Elena here."

"I'm not worried about Elena," she frowned.

"Oh, I know you are not. The Bonnie Bennett I met in the prison world, is a total bad ass."

"With powers."

"With or without the powers. You are stronger then you realize. I think it's what attracted me to you the most," he said, tossing a pack of Twizzlers at her. "I forgot. I got you these." He grabbed a shopping bag and walked back towards her. He kneeled in front of her and pulled out some sweats and more t-shirts. "I know it's not the most romantic gift to give a girl but I thought you could use them while you're here."

"I' won't be here long."

"I know," he said, placing the clothes on her lap. " But while you are here, you might as well be comfortable. Not that I mind seeing you in my t-shirts."

"I guess I have a lot of things to thank you for."

"Bonnie, are you showing me gratitude?" He looks over at the pizza and pulls up a sausage. He broke it a part.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm just checking to make sure I didn't on accident put a potion in there." Bonnie slapped him on his shoulder.

"I may not say it Kai but I am grateful."

"Well, I am grateful you decided to stay. If anything you can keep me company."

"So this is where you live when you are not terrorizing everyone in Mystic Falls."

"Just don't leave a trail of bread crumbs back here when you leave me. I like going to sleep and not having to worry about my head being on the night stand next to me." He flopped on the bed beside her.

"How did you find this place anyway?"

"It was given to me."

"As in you took it."

"I may be a psychopath but I'm no thief," he smirked and Bonnie rolled her eyes. "I got it from this elderly lady. Her husband died not too long ago and she wanted to get rid of it. So, I took it. It's out in the middle of nowhere. Perfect for me."

"And she just gave it to you. I find that so hard to believe."

"I can be very charming."

"So, in other words you compelled her."

He shrugged his shoulders. "You say compelled. I say helped her along."

"You feel good about that."

"Should I feel bad?"

"Only you would compel a defenseless old lady and not have an inch of remorse about it. I'm not going to find her in a freezer in the back some where."

"Do I look like the type that would harm an old lady?"

"An old lady, a baby bird, a man in a wheelchair..."

"You got jokes, I see," He bumped her shoulder.

"What the hell do you mean you can't do the spell," Damon yanked at Jo's arm just as Alaric made his way into the kitchen.

"Back off," he warned, as he snatched Jo's hands away from Damon and stood between them.

"It's okay," Damon raised his hands. "I just want to know why she can't do it."

"Kai, took her powers, Damon. That's why she can't do it. She's no longer a witch. And if you think you are going to come into our house and bully her, you better think again. You may be a vampire but I still have a pretty decent right hook. "

"Fuck," Damon grabs a chair and flings it across the room.

"I mean it," Alaric grabs Damon by the collar and Damon pushes off.

"You don't want to mess with me," Damon threatened.

"Nor do you want to mess with me or my family. She's pregnant Damon. Do you even give a shit about that."

" I wasn't going to hurt her," Damon looked at Jo. His eyes begging for understanding.

"It's okay," she said, making an attempt towards him but Alaric blocked her way. "We know you want to find Bonnie and if I could help, I would. But what can I do with no power? Even if I did, Kai is so much stronger then all of us. Spells do not work on him the same way as they do any other witch."

"But if you can't do it. There's got to be someone else."

"There's no one else. Who's left that's stronger then Kai?"

"What about Liv?"

"What about her? If Luke couldn't take him on, you think Liv can?"

"But she has the strongest connection to him because of Luke. You told me that before"

"That goes both ways, Damon. He has the strongest connection to her too. Wherever he is, he'll see her coming," Jo warned.

"But she can find him. That's all that matters. I don't care if the son of a bitch sees us coming. I want him too."

"Do you even know where Liv is," Alaric asked Jo.

"I don't know. She doesn't want to be found. She's still grieving Luke."

"Well, right now. I could care less what she's grieving." Damon stretched his hands over his face. "God, don't you people care that Bonnie's missing?"

"Of course, we do," Alaric defended. "You think we don't want to help?"

"I don't know, man. I just feel like I'm in this alone." He leaned against the kitchen sink.

"You're not alone," Alaric placed his hand on Damon's shoulder. "Everyone's looking for her. Caroline and Stefan are out as we speak trying to get some leads from Enzo. And you know just how much she meant to Matt. He's not going to stop looking until he finds her. We are all doing the best we can do to get her back. You just have to calm down and we will figure out away."

"There is a way. How do you find a witch that doesn't want to be found?"

He watched her in the doorway for quite some time. Her attention on the darkness of the woods or the rain that tapped against trees, he was not sure. But she had not moved from that spot. Kai had tried his best to give her space. As much as he could in the small cabin. He laid with his feet crossed over the arm of the couch. There was a book in his hand but he had no idea the title or what it was about. Every now and again, he would peak from the pages to see if she dared look his way.

"It's too lonely out here," she said, her attention never swaying from the night. "How can you stand being out here?" It was her first words to him in an hour. He'd take it.

"I think we're both use to being alone."

He put the book down on the table and walked towards her. He placed his hands on the opposite sides of the entrance and leaned over her shoulder. "But these woods can be very embracing. The sounds, the smell of the creek. The night air. You smell that rain, don't you?"

"It can also feel very suffocating, like I'm in a straight jacket out here."

"Because you're out here with me?" He pulled away from her just enough for her to turn towards him.

"No, that's not what I'm saying at all. I just don't like it too quiet," she said, rubbing her arms. Kai thought it was more out of nerves then her actually being cold but he reached for his jacket anyway an put it over her shoulders. As usual, Bonnie was difficult and handed it back to him.

"Maybe, it's my fault you feel that way. You know the first time I saw you after you came back, I could barely speak to you. I had all these things I wanted to say but the hate in your eyes just stifled me."

There was no response from her. Instead, she walked out on the porch. "I'm trying to apologize here." He said, following behind her.

"You've apologized a thousand times."

"But you have forgiven me zero times."

"Maybe, I'm just tired of thinking about it. Every time, we talk, I'm right back in that place. In that prison world. It's like you get pleasure out of not letting me forget it."

"Is that what you really think," he asked, turning her towards him. "I don't want to make things worse for you. It was never about torturing you, Bonnie. I can't take that back but it's with me every time I see you."

"You don't need me to forgive you, Kai. You have everything you came to Mystic Falls for."

"I wish that was true."

"You don't want me, Kai," she shook her head.

"You are all I want."

"I don't know what you want me to say to that?"

"You can say that you believe me and that I'm not in this alone. That I'm not just imagining that you feel something for me."

"I don't know. There may have been a time but it doesn't matter. All this is just too confusing for me. We've been here before where I let my guard down with you and you hurt me."

"But I'm telling you that will never happen again."

"I don't want to spend all my time trying to find out."

Kai sighed in frustration as he ran his hands through his hair. He had never worked so hard for anyone in his life. He had to keep reminding himself that she was worth it. He turned Bonnie back around to face the rain. The sound of thunder roared over their heads. "We never appreciate a sky like that," he said, looking above her head. "How unimaginably scary it can be with all that thunder but then you get the rain and you hear it hitting the porch, the windows, everywhere. I mean it's all you can hear. It silences out all the other noise and somehow that thunderous sky goes from being frightening to your only sense of peace. "

Kai lowered his arms around Bonnie and reaches for her hands. "Maybe I talk to much." He closed his eyes and rubbed the top of her wrists with his thumbs. He pressed hard near her veins and before Bonnie could say anything, a sensation ran up her arms and throughout her entire body. So strong, she let out a slight moan when she had not meant too. Her head fell back against his chest. She looked up and his eyes were still closed. Everything he was feeling traveled through her body like lightening. As soon as got her composure, as soon as she had settled down, another pleasurable burst of energy shot through her. One after another. The most powerful thing she had ever felt.

Kai opened his eyes and removed his hands from her wrists. For a moment, Bonnie did not move. She continued to rest her head against him. He held her up, worried that he may have hurt her. That his powers were too strong. All he wanted was for her to truly understand what they could have together. That he truly suffered not having her at his side.

"It's a joining spell," he whispered.

"I know what it is," she said, turning to face him. "And I know what you did to me."

"And if you know anything about that spell, you know I opened myself up to you completely. I have never done that with anyone, Bonnie. You felt everything I've ever felt for you. The good and the bad."

Kai ran his fingers up Bonnie's arms and felt her shiver. She moved away from him but Kai was not willing to let her ignore what had just happened. There was feelings there. Feelings she could not hide, no matter how much she blocked it. If she had no feelings for him, her body would have rejected the spell. She would have felt pain.

"You're running away from me again," he said, following her out into the rain.

"I'm not running."

"You're running " Her arm was slippery but he managed to hold on enough to pull her back in. Her eyes beamed through the the rain and she could no longer hide her feelings. "I'm not really good at backing off. I get in these moments with you and I can't help how I feel or the things I want to do to you."

Her hair was limp against her face as the sky continued to shower down on them. She looked the most beautiful Kai had ever seen her. He just wanted to touch her lips. Kiss them. He pushed her wet hair from her face. "I can't stop thinking about you, Bonnie." His bottom lip brushed against hers and she turned away from him.

"Don't," she softly protested.

"Don't because you don't want me to kiss you or don't because your scared you might want me too?"

"I'm not scared of you."

"Then kiss me."

He watched her eyes close and lips pursed. His hands were on her face. He threw her in and took in the sweet taste of her tongue.

She could not find her words. Everything had happened so fast. One minute, she was arguing with him on a bridge and hated him and the next she was overwhelmed in desire. She didn't dare open her eyes. Maybe if she opened them, she would remember how much she had hated him. Whatever she was feeling with Kai, she did not want it stop. But she needed it to stop. But how could she make it stop when everything he was doing to her felt so damn good.

She could taste the rain against his lips. His fingers pressed into her hips. He clutched the back of her t-shirt and exposed her thighs. He pulled her up around his waist and walked her back up the stairs, towards the cabin. The door slammed behind him as he lead her towards the couch. He gently laid her on her back, gazing at every part of her exposed from her wet shirt.

"I don't want you to regret this."

Bonnie lifted herself up and pulled his shirt out his pants. She unbuckled his belt as he pulled his shirt over his head. She didn't want to think. She just wanted to feel. She pulled Kai down on top of her and he begin kissing her passionately on her neck.

Just as she was ready for him, Kai lifted himself up. He begin scanning the room. "Something's wrong." He stood to his feet and pulled his shirt back over his head. "There's someone out there," he continued, walking towards the front door. He looks out and noticed how quick the rain had come and gone. The night was suddenly silent as if nature was exposing his enemies hiding in the dark. Kai looked back at Bonnie and his expression was concerning.

"They're here for me," she said, getting up from the couch and putting on the sweats Kai had brought her earlier. Kai walked back towards her and kissed her on the forehead.

"I should have done this a long time ago. But I was afraid we would never get to this point. I didn't trust you to come to me on your own." He pulled her into his arms and she thought he was going to kiss her again. But there was no kiss. His eyes were empty as he pressed her harder against him.

"Kai, what are you doing," she grimaced. She was beginning to feel the pain. He squeezed her hands as hard as he could and all Bonnie could feel her knees giving in.

"I'm sorry," he yanked her harder and Bonnie felt so much pain she fell to the ground. The door slammed open. She looked up to see Kai walking out. Then everything went black.

"Sucker punched," he laughed, as he rose from the ground and Stefan was shaking his fist in front of him. He wiped the mud from his shirt and flung some at Caroline as she approached them.

"This can go the easy way," Stefan said, "You can just move out the way and let us get Bonnie."

"Nah, I'm not much for the easy way. It's two of you but I like my chances."

"Try three," Damon said, stepping from behind the shadows of the trees."

"Oh this is good," he laughed. "Your grand entrance, Mr. Salvatore," Kai mocked.

"Give us, Bonnie," Damon stormed towards him. "Or I'll break your goddamn neck."

"What makes you think she's in there."

"I know she's in there."

"You might be right! But you think I'm just going to hand her over to you."

"That's exactly how it's going to happen."

Kai turned his head and saw Caroline running towards the cabin.

"That's a no no." He stretched his arms out and she was suspended in air. Stefan made a move towards him. "I wouldn't do that. I can snap her neck and make it easy for you or I could just just snatch that pretty little heart of her's right out her body. Is that what you want?"

"Let her go," Stefan warned.

"You can't take all three of us," Damon warned.

"Try me."

Stefan was faster then the wind but still not fast enough. Kai stretched out his other hand and twisted Stefan's neck without even touching him.

"Stefan," Caroline screamed as his body splashed against the wet pavement. Kai looked at her and smiled. "You sick piece of..." She didn't finish before Kai snapped her neck. Her body hit the ground not to far from Stefan.

Damon flew towards Kai and his teeth were in his neck. He pulled until he ripped out a hole. Kai felt agony but that kind of pain just exposed him more as a monster. His teeth slid out the sides of his mouth and dark green veins appeared under his eyes. He placed his hands on Damon's chest and begin his conjuration. With a strong burst, Damon landed into a tree. Kai's eyes grew dark as he walked towards him, smiling as Damon humped over in pain. "You may be older but I'm a witch. You'll never win."

The sound of her name on Damon's tongue had awakened her. She opened her eyes, expecting to see hi in the room but she was alone. She stumbled to her feet and moved towards the door. "Not too quick," she heard a voice in back of her. Bonnie turned around to see Elena standing in the middle of the room. "We've got some things to discuss." She charged towards Bonnie before she could catch her breath. The force lifted her off her feet and slammed her into the bed. Elena sat on top of her with her hands to her throat.

"There's not much you can do to me," Bonnie struggled for breath. Her hands on top of Elena's trying desperately to remove them from her neck.

"There's a lot I can do to you. I could snap your neck in all of two seconds," she threatened but then removed her hands. "Or maybe I'll plunge this dagger in you." She pulled the knife from behind her back and begin rubbing it against Bonnie's cheek.

"Do you really hate me that much," Bonnie coughed. "How do we go from friends to you trying to kill me?"

"Don't be so dramatic," She leaned over the top of her and stabbed the knife into the night stand. "We are still besties. And as my bestie, you are going to do me a favor. You owe me that much."

"I owe you nothing," Bonnie argued, knocking Elena off of her. Elena flew over the side of the bed. Bonnie jumped to her feet and took a defensive position in front of the wall before Elena could pin her down again.

"You're one feisty little bitch," Elena gritted her teeth and she made her way back to her feet. "Poor little, Bonnie. Everyone thinks you're so helpless. This little helpless lamb. But I know better." Elena moved so quick that she was in Bonnie's face in less then a blink of an eye. Her breath was heavy against Bonnie's skin. "Relax, I'm not going to hurt you. Fortunately for you, if I do that Damon will never recover. He practically wanted to get the Armed Forces out here to find you. So, I can't kill you but I can keep you from running your pretty little mouth."

Elena grabbed Bonnie by the chin and forced her to look into her eyes. Bonnie snatched away but Elena grabbed her even harder. "You're going to forget what happened the night of the club opening. I didn't hurt you. Kai did. I tried to protect you and that is when Kai attacked me. He ran off with you. That's what you will tell anyone who asks. You got it."

Bonnie said nothing and Elena squeezed tighter.

"You got it?"

"No!"

"What?"

"I won't tell that story because that's not what fuck happened," she said, pushing Elena as hard as she could.

"You're not compelled," Elena laughed and shook her head at the same time.

"Because witches can't be compelled." Bonnie said looking down at her hands. Her fingers closing in and out against her palms. She looked up at Elena. Her green eyes blazing with fire. But there was no fear in Elena's eyes. She charged towards Bonnie but Bonnie raised her hands. She felt the power rising through her body. The surge making it's way to her fingers. She struck out at Elena and pushed her against the wall. The night stand begin to shake and Bonnie focused her attention on the knife. It moved without her touching it, across the room like a dart headed towards it's mark. Elena screamed as it landed near her heart. Bonnie's eyes laid cold against her former friend. "This is the last time, you'll ever hurt me." She plunged the dagger harder in her chest.

Kai heard her footsteps before she reached the door. "Here's your chance to be hero," he said, releasing his hold. Damon fell to the ground but quickly gathered himself. He lunged towards Kai and forced him to the ground. "I'll kill you, you son of a bitch." He took his right hand and reached into Kai's chest.

"Damon, no!" He could hear Bonnie from the porch but he could not turn from his anger. The amount of hatred he felt for Kai was maddening. "It's going to be so sweet to watch you die." He pressed harder into skin but Kai would not give him the satisfaction of knowing he was in pain. Instead, he focused on the sound of Bonnie getting closer towards them.

"Let him go, Damon," she begged, as she pulled at his arms.

"This is for you Bonnie. I'm going to rid you of this twisted asshole."

"Damon, I said let him go." She pulled again but he was too strong. Damon felt the tug of his jacket. His body hurled through the wind and landed near the porch. He looked up to see and angry Bonnie ready to strike him again if he moved any where near Kai.
