So we're starting with Elena thinking everything is always about her like always… but Kai quickly steers it back to our rightful place: Bamon.
Thank goodness for you, Kai ;) Lol
"This isn't going to work!" Elena shouted to Kai.
"You don't even know what the plan is here… If there even is a plan." Kai commented.
"Why kidnap me if you didn't have some sort of plan?" Elena asked.
"Maybe I just wanted the company." Kai said sweetly.
"Weird way to treat your company tying them to a weird old chair!?" Elena exclaimed.
"Yeah well my manners are a little rusty…" Kai justified simply.
"I guess Damon and Stefan will just have to teach you some after they and rescue me!" Elena spat.
"You think they'll both really come?! Wow… and here I was worried that not having his girlfriend he might not show…" Kai stated.
"Stefan's still my friend and wouldn-" Kai interrupted her, "I was talking about Damon. Haven't actually met Stefan yet… But good to know you dated them both…" Kai noted.
"But I'm Damon's girlfriend… Wait who are you talking about then?" Elena asked confused.
"Bonnie, of course!" Kai said matter-of-factly.
"What?! Bonnie and Damon aren't… They hated each other before they were even in that purgatory, and they're always fighting!" Elena explained.
"That's just how they show their love! I know I watched them for months, there's definitely something there…" Kai said in a dreamy tone with a thoughtful sigh.
"No! They wouldn't do that to me!" Elena said angrily.
"Well they were locked up all by themselves… with the exception of me of course, but they didn't even know I was there until later… And now correct me if I'm wrong but my sources tell me: that recently forgot Damon, right?" Kai paused and Elena looked down guiltily. "So… I mean Bonnie is obviously one of the good ones but I mean… Damon on the other hand… And you forgot him. Doesn't that make Damon a better person than you?" Kai said acting surprised, "Wow."
Elena glared at him, "You are just trying to mess with my head!"
"Clearly it's working!" he sang, and got up to walk away.
"Where are you going?!" Elena asked.
"Don't worry I'll be right back just going to get a few things prepared…" and he was now out of sight.
"It's 1994." Bonnie repeated, disbelievingly.
"Look I'm trying to be as patient as I possible can be with a complete stranger-" Damon said, "We're not strangers!" Bonnie interrupted offensively.
"Right. But see the thing is you are… To me at least, so how about you tell me your name and then we can go from there." Damon suggested.
Bonnie nodded, "Okay. My name is Bonnie. Bonnie Bennett." And she stuck out her hand to shake.
"Really a handshake? A minute ago you were practically mauling me; holding onto me as if your life depended on it." Damon stated with a smug smirk.
"Yeah well that greeting is for someone who knows me. Where as apparently you don't sooo… Bonnie Bennett." She grinned widely; reestablishing her extended hand, and he took it and shook.
"I still don't know who you are…" Damon replied, as he still shook her hand. Bonnie tilted her head confused by his reply, he then pulled her closer to him. So close their faces were almost touching. Her heartbeat got a little faster.
"You see Bonnie Bennett, cute little thing, is maybe no more than maybe two years old, has short curly brown hair, and carries a bear by the name of Ms. Cuddles I believe, everywhere! You are not her, and I know the Bennett family so you sure as hell aren't anyone she's named after either! So let's try this one more time before I get mad. Who the hell are you?" Damon said menacingly.
"Wait you knew me in 1994?" Bonnie blurted.
"Really you're going with the, 'I'm from the future!' act now? Seriously?" Damon commented disbelievingly.
"Well I wasn't trying to go with it, but I didn't really count on you knowing me as a two year old, which is kind of creepy by the way…" Bonnie replied.
"Let's just say I have a vested interest inthe Bennett family." Damon said like it was suppose to be cryptic.
"Oh! That's right 1994 is like what fifteen years or so before the comet, you're still under oath by Emily to protect us… Right?" Bonnie stated.
Damon began glaring at her forcefully again, still so close face-to-face he began to use his height to try to over shadow her. Even putting on his best, 'I'm gonna scary stare you down' face on. Bonnie didn't flinch, she just blinked and smiled at him with her, 'Oh baby you're gonna have to do a lot better than that to try and scare me' face.
"Look as fun as this staring contest is…" Bonnie broke the silence, "You're clearly not the one who brought me here, which means you probably don't know how I got here either. But I know someone who just might… So I'm just, gonna go." Bonnie said and began walking pass him.
In a flash he vamp-sped in front of her path, she just looked at him. Wow I actually missed that too… she thought.
"Whoa slow your roll there, McFly! Going to see someone from your past, in the past! It's like you've never time traveled at all!" Damon teased, "You could upset the balances of nature, you know butterfly ripples in the wind… and all that crap." He smiled.
"You done?" Bonnie arched her eyebrows as she questioned him.
"How about I help you out, and give you a lift?" Damon said gesturing towards his car.
Bonnie paused, she knew he still didn't trust her, and just wanted to keep an eye on her.
That… or he's about to kidnap me.
Bonnie shrugged, "Kay sure, thanks." And to his surprise hopped in his car.
Buckled into the passenger seat he stared at her so she smiled warmly at him, as if waiting for the punch line he squinted his eyes and looked her over once more. She continued grinning at him until he turned to the wheel, and started the ignition then started driving by her direction.
On the drive there Damon of course asked numerous questions, about how she got here if she was really from the future and all… Bonnie openly explained everything to him, much to his surprise again.
They arrived and Bonnie took a deep breath as she stared down her childhood home once again.
"Bonnie." Damon sang, "Any day now."
"Just give me a minute!" she ordered.
"What's the big deal? So you were in hell-" Damon started, "A purgatory. Not for me either!" she reminded.
"Right. Now you basically time-traveled and need her to witchy juju so you can get back to the future… Sounds like normal day to day witch stuff now that I really think about it." Damon explained brightly. Bonnie briefly smirked at his antics and rolled her eyes and then finally knocked on the door.
Then the door opened, her brown effortlessly curls shaped around her beautiful wise face wearing a long olive green robe-like shawl over a deep brown t-shirt, jeans, and matching brown flats. She was younger, but to Bonnie she had always looked this young and vibrant.
"Grams." Bonnie uttered.
Damon had driven two blocks away from where the bar was suppose to be.
"Okay Ms. Cuddles do your thing." He smiled at the bear in his arms, and then began pacing closer toward the now non-noticeable bar.
Then like clockwork Bonnie's magic in the teddy bear removed the cloak as soon as she entered the premises.
Ms. Cuddles: 2 Creepy Gemini Cloaking Spell: 0
Damon sped back to his Camaro real quick to put the bear inside not wanting Kai to get his hands on it.
Damon used his vampire speed and stealth to get in easily. He overheard Elena and the manchild conversing, "Where are you going?!" Elena asked.
"Don't worry I'll be right back just going to get a few things prepared…" and he was now out of sight.
Damon used this opportunity to speed over to Elena.
A smile spread across her face at the sight of him. Damon smiled back, but then as he leaned into remove her from her binds he felt a striking pain take over his body.
"Oh good Damon! You're here, we were just talking about you!" Kai reentered, and Damon collapsed to the floor.
"Damon!" Elena screamed, and then Damon passed out.
A few minutes later, Damon started blinking coming back into consciousness.
"Damon? Damon! Are you okay?" Elena asked urgently.
Damon found himself strapped into another old looking chair like the one he had found Elena in, and he felt the soreness of his wrists that that had a large needles and wires protruding from each.
"Yeah I'm fine… Bonnie's done stuff much worse to me than that!" Damon played off his condition then suddenly Elena started screaming in pain.
"Oh goodie! A demonstration!" Kai quipped excitedly.
"Kai! What the hell are you doing to her?!" Damon growled.
"It's not me Damon… It's what you said." Kai answered, as Elena continued in her agony.
"You see she asked you how you were, and then you either lied about how you were fine or maybe it was the comment about Bonnie… Cause you know good old Bonnie would never hurt you so bad, right?" Kai mused.
"Well make it stop!" Damon seethed.
"You have to answer question honestly for the pain to go away." Kai replied.
"Fine! That stunt you just pulled took a little bit out of me! The thing about Bonnie except maybe for the time she set me on fire never has hurt so bad!" Damon shouted.
And Elena's body slumped as she breathed with relief that her pain seemed to have gone away.
"There you go! All better now, and now you know that if there are any questions asked, you must answer them truthfully." Kai stated.
"But… How… Are you doing this?" Elena asked between breaths.
"Oh see these chairs I've put you in are some old witch devices I found… See with the right spell they act as lie-detectors, so if a question is asked to you, Elena and you answer dishonestly Damon here gets that fun zap you just experienced! And vice versa!" Kai enlightened, "Like say I ask Damon." Kai turned to Damon, "What is your favorite color?"
Damon just sat there and remained quietly glaring at his captor. Then Elena began to writhe in pain all over again.
"It's green!? It's GREEN!" Damon yelled then, and Elena huffed in relief again.
"Really? I figured it'd be black… Since that's all you seem to wear…" Kai remarked, "Oh did I also forget to mention that if you don't answer at all these things are sort of on a timer? Well now you know!"
"What do you want Kai?!" Damon asked spitefully.
"What we all want Damon. The truth, cause you know the truth will set you free! And that's kind of my running theme!" Kai smiled, "Plus I've been magicless in a purgatory for the last fifteen years! I'm out, and have some time to kill… Amongst other things…" he remarked evilly, "Might as well get as much practice as I can in before the next celestial event happens."
Damon continued to glare at the annoying boy.
"So for my first question… Elena since you've been fried already twice now… I thought you said both Damon and Stefan were coming to your rescue… So are you disappointed that it was only Damon, who ultimately failed?"
Elena hesitated.
"Remember not answering at all will result in automatic zapping!" Kai reminded.
"No. I'm not disappointed that Damon only came… Just surprised I guess since usually they both always come…" Elena glanced at Damon, who gave her a reassuring look that he wasn't hurt by her answer.
Kai frowned disliking the answer or really the reaction he got from it.
"Okay then… Damon, how did you even get beyond my cloaking spell?" Kai asked.
Damon reflexively wanted to make a snide remark so he answered honestly, "I had help from a magical bear." He smirked.
Elena turned her head to glare at Damon, worried by his improbable response.
Kai just smiled at his answer, "This bear wouldn't happen to be Cuddles would it?" Kai asked but just continued, "Bonnie put her magic in her teddy bear and told be she sent it somewhere safe… And that was to you?" Kai smiled questionably meeting Elena's eyes.
Damon unsure of what was being unspoken here. He also wasn't sure what exactly the question had been so to place it safe he answered, "Yes, it is Ms. Cuddles and Bonnie did send her to me!" Damon said proudly.
"Wow Bonnie must have a lot of faith in you then… She must really trust you to put her magic in yours hands, wouldn't you say so, Elena?" Kai asked.
Damon looked skeptically toward the girl in question.
Fyi I put green down as Damon's favorite color because of Bonnie's eyes… Lol I'm so corny! First Ric now Kai… Seriously Damon get your head of your ass man!
And I think 1994 Damon totally is keeping an eye on the Bennett lineage got to look out for ya witches! Hopefully I will be able to update again soon... Gots to work though...
