Kai

"I broke her, didn't I?"

Damon stills upon hearing the question though it's who the question is coming from that throws him off then the question itself. And when that realization registers he immediately feels a flare of anger run through him and the next thing he knows he's speeding over to the source before realizing that that wasn't the brightest idea when he finds himself careening into a tree in the next breath.

"Well I guess that's one constant about you." Kai bristles.

"And what's that?" Damon inquires pulling himself up from the ground after catching his breath.

"Predictability." he smiles, out right grinning when Damon makes a face "It's actually kind of sad. And a little pathetic."

"Says the guy that's stalking Bonnie because she doesn't want to see you." Damon throws out, raising his hands in mock surrender when he sees the flash of rage in the warlock's eyes.

"I'm also the guy that helped save her life but I guess that doesn't count for anything."

"You stabbed her and left her alone in the Prison World." Another voice steps in, causing Kai to groan, not wanting to have to deal with Damon and his...supposedly better half.

"And you're screwing her attempted murderer who you quite literally went on a suicide mission with knowing that Bonnie had to feel the pain of every Supernatural's death." Kai retorts watching the guilt cloud Elena's features as she looks away "Now do you want to continue to argue about who treated her the worst or do you want to get to the reason I'm even dealing with either of you in the first place?"

"Wow, so this is really something that the two of you are even debating right now." Kai mutters when they glance at each other instead of receiving the glares that he expected from the two vampires as they waited for him to go on.

"It's not really up to us." Elena says lowly "We're not the ones that were left alone with you. Or the one that you left for dead after stealing our magick."

Kai rolls his eyes "And you're not the one that I was waiting for an answer from. It was directed towards her guard dog." He turns his gaze from Elena to Damon, smirking when he glares at him in response clearly restraining himself.

"Like Elena said." Damon growls.

"Okay," Kai nods "I see I'm going to have to take a page from your book."

Damon tenses when he sees Kai's eyes locked on Elena and the next thing he knows he can't move, watching as the doppelganger falls to the ground, though he notices the slight rise and fall of her chest.

"What did you do?"

"I'm using her as my powersource. And will continue to do so until you get me what I want."

"And what would that be?"

"You're going to convince your token human to lend me his body after the party. Do that one simple task and I'll give you your precious girlfriend back." Kai says carefully picking Elena up, holding her bridal style "You might want to get to work on that, you do have a party to attend in two days. If only I was on the guest list." Kai smiles turning his back to Damon "Tick tock, Damon." He says in Elena's voice, smirking at the growl he hears releasing Damon before cloaking Elena and himself.


"Kai."

"Kai." Damon repeats, annoyance clear in his voice.

Kai smiles when he hears Damon calling his name, slowly lowering the floating items around him. He didn't like Elena but she was effective in getting what he wanted.

"Where are you, you little sh-"

Kai effectively cuts Damon off when he materializes out of nothing greeting him with a frown on his face, not appreciating the way he was about be addressed.

"Well…" Kai says not seeing the point in exchanging pleasantries.

"It's going to be a no on the whole passenger thing."

"Hm."

Damon frowns "But you already knew that."

"Of course I did. Just like I knew how you'd bring...reinforcements. I was hoping you'd go for the pretty one but I guess the noble one will do."

Elijah takes that as his cue to stroll into the room and frowns when he doesn't pick up any emotions from the warlock.

"You know the Originals?"

Kai decides to not address Damon in favor of watching as Elijah approaches him, clearly searching for any signs of intimidation "If I'm going to be afraid of anyone it's going to Bonnie." he admits breezily "And as you can see…" he looks around the room "She's not here and she doesn't plan on being anywhere near me anytime soon. So you're out of luck on that."

"Elena's upstairs." Kai points towards the staircase watching as Elijah speeds out of the room, before turning his gaze back to Damon "How much time is she going to give me?"

"One minute."

"What?" Damon frowns when he sees the small smile on Kai's face.

"I expected less." Kai shrugs "She'll wake up when I'm done with my...visit." he says watching as Elijah walks back into the room, Elena in his arms "Elijah, always a pleasure."

"I wish I could say the same." Elijah replies watching as Kai strolls out of the room.


"Bonnie."

Bonnie tenses when she hears his voice, blinking when she sees Kai standing at the edge of her front yard seemingly waiting for her to give him permission to come closer to which she frowns, taken back before shaking her head from those thoughts. Deeming them as when it becomes clear that that's exactly what he's doing she swallows as she nods, watching intently as he slowly approaches her but stops a couple of feet away from her.

"I'm sorry."

He can tell that his words are a shock to her system so he waits until he sees that her shock wears off before continuing. Only to be cut off when he opens his mouth, though a part of him is grateful because he really wasn't sure what he was going to say afterwards.

"How did you do it?"

He frowns not understanding the question.

"You were there for what? Eighteen years? How have you been able to just...adapt like this? I can barely go in my backyard without having a panic attack. And you've been walking around like it's nothing."

He frowns but then sighs remembering that because of the way he's acted towards her she brushes off that he does have a mental illness. Not that that completely excuses everything he did to her but, taking all that he's done into account he could see why they all seem to overlook it.

"I'm not like you, Bonnie. I didn't have friends, I wasn't surrounded by people that talked to me like a person...ever." He adds remembering the conversations he'd overheard between her and Damon "So being thrown back into a world full of people who barely spare you glances to the extent of interaction wasn't that big of a stretch to what I was used to. Coming back here to a place full of people that are actually happy to see you back is what you got. So of course you're going to feel like you're going to lose your mind. I didn't get that. And in case you forgot...by the time I started to actually feel things I was already used to crowds. Being...detached was finally in the plus column."

Bonnie looks down, having forgotten that she was actually dealing with a sociopath. Having been surrounded by the homicidal vampires she had become used to dealing with, she forgot that there were people out there that were like that because they didn't have a choice. Not everyone chose to abandon their humanity just because they could. Some people just didn't have a choice in the matter. But that didn't mean she would let him off with that excuse.

"Thank you."

Kai frowns.

"Damon told me what you did." she elaborates "It doesn't excuse what you did to me and I don't see myself getting past that anytime soon but thank you." Bonnie sighs not understanding where this was coming from, hell she didn't see the logic in the words that were coming from her mouth "This doesn't mean we're friends. And it sure as hell doesn't mean I'm going to be okay with you or with you being anywhere near me but I appreciate what you did."

Kai stands there completely frozen in shock, it didn't really make sense to him. It sounded like she forgave him but...didn't at the same time. But before he could ask for clarification she stands up from her porch swing and walks to her door,

"I'd also appreciate it if you'd stop lurking." She adds before stepping inside and quickly closing the door, turning the lock.

Kai stills when he feels a breeze and when he turns around he sees Damon standing behind him, and before he can even open his mouth, Kai lifts his hand and twists his wrist, watching as he falls to the ground with a loud thump. He just got Bonnie to look at him, he didn't need this moment to be tainted with whatever Damon had to say.


Not really happy with how this turned out because even though I adore Kai I don't really know how to write for him, but I thought he should be included somewhere in here.

I'd also like to wish you all a Happy New Years :)
