A/N: I meant to update sooner but I wasn't able to. For this part of the story I'll consider that Damon was shot in the heart by his father. When I watched that scene in season 1 I was left with that impression since Damon died in seconds, I know that in season 6, when he crosses the border with Enzo the wound doesn't seem to be in the heart, but for this story's sake it is, so bear with me :3

Time seemed to go by slower once they got closer to their present time. Bonnie and Damon remained in Virginia trying to figure out what to do with Kai when the time came. Damon had pointed out that one of their advantages was the element of surprise, Kai surely thought he got rid of them for good, they could use that.

Bonnie wanted to get rid of Kai for good, permanently, with no way of returning. Kai was so full of tricks that Bonnie didn't feel comfortable killing him with normal weapons. "It has to be something supernatural, you wouldn't know of something? A mystical sword, dagger, butter knife?" she asked.

Damon looked up from the book he was reading, they were in the living room of the little house they had settled in. "Sorry, no. Though it would be interesting killing him with a butter knife" he smirked at her.

Bonnie gave him a little smile, feeling tired. It would be easy shooting Kai from afar, sniper style, but Bonnie wasn't confident he'd stay down. There were ways a witch or warlock could come back to life and she couldn't risk it with Kai. He had to be stopped for good. She was sensitive to the twins situation, by killing Kai, they'd have to merge and one of them would die. But letting Kai live wasn't an option, plus Jo could die if she didn't win. Bonnie didn't know Jo but her Grams had taken care of this woman after the traumatic events caused by her twin brother.

Bonnie remembered the time when she had to stop a vampire's heart, she had to also stop a human one. What if she could do something similar to Kai? Stopping a vampire's heart would result in stopping Kai's heart and since vampires were dead, well, dead-living in the words of Damon, but still pretty much dead, there was no danger in Kai coming back to life somehow . . . He would stay dead.

This type of spell was pretty doable but she had to find a vampire to kill, Bonnie sighed. Probably, they would have to turn someone first… an innocent person… Why did everything have to be so complicated?

Damon told her an empty stomach didn't help with the thinking process so he wanted to go somewhere to eat, Bonnie had stayed home all day, busy with the "Find Kai/Kill Kai" project. But Bonnie didn't feel like going out, she asked him to prepare her a simple dish of pasta. Damon agreed, he brought a tray with the food and Bonnie offered him her wrist. She knew he was out of blood bags. In the quietness of their home, they went to sleep. Plotting Kai's death had to wait till tomorrow.

Damon had gotten his hands on another Camaro, a black one from 1967 in pretty good condition, with the necessary repairs, the car was better than ever, or so Damon told her. Bonnie tried to argue they didn't need a car like that but seeing his eyes sparkle in love with it, she let it pass with the condition he'd let her drive "Of course Bon-Bon! I don't mind having a beautiful woman driving me around". She had to admit the car was great, she loved driving it. She drove to a little lake, one day, and they watched the sunset together. Damon caressed her face gently and placed a small kiss on her forehead, she reached for his hand "Everything will be alright if we're together" Bonnie thought.

Bonnie had heard many times how Damon and Stefan had died, shot by their own father without hesitation. Damon had even suggested they should get his father back from the dead and he would deal with Kai mercilessly too. Bonnie opened her mouth in shock "Damon!" she smacked him "Don't say such things".

"It's true! He'd know how to deal with Kai, he was even meaner than Kai!" Damon started to laugh, it wasn't every day he found his father's actions and behavior so funny. Without noticing he was healing from those wounds.

Damon was being ridiculous but that got Bonnie to think, that night his father had shot Damon fatally, he died in seconds "When your father shot you, did he hit your heart?" Damon stooped laughing and became serious "Yeah, I think he did, why?" he was confused.

"Well, if he did, I think I have an idea… " Bonnie answered.

Damon was stunned, long story short: she wanted to perform a spell that would make him relive the night he died as a human, then she'd transfer it to Kai and make him die from the same wound Damon had suffered, after that since Damon was a dead-living person, a vampire, Kai would stay dead, like she had planned when she wanted to stop a vampire heart and Damon would heal from the wound, of course, courtesy of his immortality. This way, they didn't need to kill anyone, except for Kai.

Damon shrugged "Let's do it". Bonnie observed his reaction, he seemed too calm for someone who had to relive his death "Damon, you will feel everything you felt that night, it will be very real" she was starting to second guess herself, she didn't want to hurt him. Damon smiled "I trust you. But be careful, once I'm down, you'll be vulnerable, and our link will be off". Bonnie knew this "I just need a moment to do this, I won't let the opportunity pass".

Bonnie cast a cloaking spell on both of them, so they could enter Mystic Falls undetected. They both wanted to go to their friends and hug them, tell them they were ok but they couldn't. Damon knew his brother would probably be worried sick about him but they needed the element of surprise.

Finding Kai wasn't easy at all "Ugh, where did he go?" Damon said frustrated "Do you think the others are also looking for him?"

"They must be" Bonnie responded "We really need to get in contact with them".

They heard a car approaching, it was Matt's van. "Matt…" Damon looked at Bonnie "The human, not dangerous at all, element of the group. Kai is probably not spying on him" he flashed her a big grin.

Convincing Matt they really were Bonnie and Damon wasn't easy, since the cloaking spell was still in place, all Matt could see was two strangers. Bonnie had finally managed to convince by telling him stories about their childhood "Bon? It's really you?" Matt was starting to tear up a bit. Bonnie hugged him "It's me".

Damon wasn't sure Matt wouldn't screw things up, so he made him repeat the message to Stefan one more time. It was pretty simple: lure Kai to the cemetery, pretending to want to make a deal with him in exchange for Elena, Bonnie and Damon would be there, ready to perform the spell. Matt was worried about Elena but Bonnie assured him that once she was done with Kai, she would be able to find Elena.

Matt had left them, headed to the Salvatore Boarding House, now all they could do was wait.
