When Amsterdam turns out to be a bust, Kai recruits a Bennett Witch for help with a mysterious and potentially dangerous artifact that he embezzled. Elsewhere, Enzo struggles with Caroline and the heretics, and faces off with Damon. Meanwhile, Bonnie forces Matt into a risky life or death decision, and gets a shocking phone call from a family member.
Bonnie sat in the middle of Alaric's Occult Studies class, which was packed in tightly. Never had there been so many students signed up for this course. She knew it had something to do with the mysterious killings happening over in Mystic Falls that had so many students curious. They clearly believed something supernatural going on. But Alaric's lecture topic would not give them the answers they were here for. Alaric spoke about death and the afterlife. He warned students to stop traveling out to Mystic Falls; They recently evacuated the town because of the heretics taking over and declaring war on all humans who trespass.
As Bonnie watched and listened to Alaric speak, she had a wary gaze on him. She was extremely worried about him, especially after their trip to Amsterdam. Bonnie knew this lecture was painful for Alaric, not only losing his first wife, Isobel; but then losing Aunt Jenna, Elena, and recently his pregnant wife Jo. All supernatural causes in Mystic Falls.
"So everyone just stay out of Mystic Falls." And with that, Alaric dismissed his students. Once the classroom cleared out, Bonnie made her way over to his desk to talk with him.
Rapping her knuckles sharply on his desk before speaking. "So that evacuation plan did not work out and everyone hoped."
Alaric stepped behind his desk. "College kids are taking this as a fucking joke." He shook his head in disgust. "Last night again, two idiots went into the town trying to get a selfie with a ghost." He was getting more irritated as he gave the whole thing more thought. "The heretics have killed ten people, probably more by now."
Bonnie shot him an inconsolable look. "Ric, are we ever going to talk about what's going on with you?"
Alaric just sighed, sliding closer to Bonnie. "Damon told me you saw Kai." He changed the subject. "I can't move on without Jo. I can't eat or sleep knowing Kai is alive, and she's not. I want to support Damon, but..." Alaric trailed off, rubbing his sore spot.
Bonnie knew where he was going with this. Damon would see Elena again in a few decades. Ric was going to have to live his entire life without Jo and their children. This was the worst pain he'd ever gone through. Bonnie realized how selfish she and Damon were. They only spoke of Elena, ignoring the fact that Jo and the unborn babies were gone and never coming back.
"I'm so sorry Ric, if there was anything I could do." Alaric just waved off that comment.
They both had on sulking faces. "When you find Kai, bring him to me," he growled. "He needs to pay."
Bonnie leaned forward, looking slightly apologetic. "I won't let him get away with this. I promise I will find him, and we'll make him pay for everything." She said with some urgency, which left Alaric taking a seat and transforming his face again into the more neutral expression.
Bonnie pecked him on the cheek before she went her separate way.
Caroline looked around the Salvatore Boarding House cellar. Once she gained focus, she noticed someone bound her to a wooden chair. Enzo was wrapping her wrist in vervain soaked ropes. She could feel her skin being burned up. The pain was unbearable.
"It wouldn't hurt for much longer." Enzo uttered as he inspected his handy work.
Caroline's expression hardened in recognition. "You little bastard. What the hell is wrong with you?" Caroline's mind flashed back to them being in Mystic Falls at her mother's bench, before Enzo drugged her and clearly kidnapped her.
The dark-haired man chuckled softly, his eyes cast downward in self-deprecation. "You, my love were a bargaining chip, but then imagine my surprise when Lily called about the death of her son Malcolm, being killed by one of your mates." Cuffing Caroline on the shoulder as he continued. "Her heretic kids wanted you for retaliation against the Salvatores."
Caroline couldn't understand any of this. Stefan made the treaty to keep everyone safe. There's no way he'd killed the heretic and risk their lives. "It wasn't Stefan."
Enzo screwed his mouth into a condescending frown. "Probably not, too sloppy. I wouldn't put it past Damon, he probably recruited his little Bennett witch to aid and abet."
"Of course," Caroline mutters to herself. She completely forgot about the reckless Salvatore that would jeopardize everything for revenge. Though she was slightly disappointed in Bonnie for joining up with Damon.
Shooting her an arch look, Enzo said, "Seeing how things are turning out, I'm the only friend you have at the moment." Once Enzo finished tying her up, he turned to leave Caroline in the cellar.
Her breathing got more shallow. She let out a loud hiss as the ropes burned her skin. "ENZO, PLEASE. This is unbearable." She pleaded. She prayed he'd take pity on her.
Enzo turned to see the tears welling up in her eyes. The guilt festered in him. He walked back towards her, loosening the ropes on her wrist. Caroline's breathing was more level, and she shot him a sharp glare. Before Enzo could speak, Caroline head butted him, making him crumble to the floor in pain. Once he was out, she flipped back in the chair, breaking it apart. Seconds later she was free, and she grabbed a wooden stake to attack Enzo.
"I see you made the wrong choice, Enzo." Caroline snickered. She stakes him in the lower part of his leg. Then, using her vampire speed, she made it down the stairs. She should have paid more attention. Before she could reach the front door, the blonde heretic blocked her.
"You're not trying to escape, are you?" Caroline grimaces at the fact that she was caught. The blonde vampire tried to run in the opposite direction, but the heretic's brunette girlfriend blocked her on the other side.
"I love this jacket." The brunette was wearing Caroline's denim jacket, the one Elena gave her two summers ago. Caroline was still trying to work out her options on escaping while the two girls cornered her.
In a matter of minutes, Enzo made his way down to them. "Nora, Mary Louise, I can handle this."
Nora smirked, but remained silent. "Clearly you cannot." Mary Louise spoke. "I think we can handle it from here." That was the last thing Caroline heard before the lights went out.
His Plan B was dangerous, but this was the only way to get any actual answers. Kai took a flight back to America and drove from New York to Chicago. A short couple of days after his failed attempt with the psychic and his run in with Bonnie, which led him to searching for more feasible help. It was risky, but he had to take that chance.
Apprehensively, Kai knocked on the door.
"It's open!" The voice called from within the room.
Sheepishly, Kai entered the apartment and closed the door behind himself. He walked into the sitting room as it was furnished, very mid-century modern like. It was uncluttered and sleek with minimal ornamentation; the shelves filled with many books, paintings, and what appeared to be stunted trees growing in pots.
"Make yourself comfortable," the witch cheerfully invited him, as she emerged from the kitchen. Her long brown ombre hair was gathered in a sleek ponytail with a red bandana wrapped around it. She wore a white tank top showing off her lovely assets, and denim shorts that exposed her athletic lower body. Her almond brown eyes were kind and bright. "So, Malachai, what have you gotten yourself into?"
Kai took a seat on the sofa. "Well Lucy, I came across a stone that has the power to resuscitate."
The witch made her way to join him for a seat. Kai pulled out the Phoenix Stone to show her. Lucy seemed enchanted by the small gem. "So how did you get your hands on it?" She asked him.
"My great- grandfather had lost it, I came across a source who told me about it being in a museum, so I nicked it." Kai could see the self-righteous look on Lucy's face that was so similar to her cousin. Trying to hold back a sneer, "Look, our history doesn't belong in the hands of the mundane. This not only belongs to me, but to us. Our community." He spoke surely.
Lucy drew a deep breath. "You're not wrong," she agreed. "Should I even ask you who you're trying to bring back?"
Kai looked serious. "It's a personal, family thing." Kai set the stone in Lucy's hand.
Lucy stared at the stone before she focused her will on it. She couldn't feel any magic from it. She closed her eyes and whispered a spell. Still, she wasn't getting anything from the stone. "How strange, the magic might be concealed." Lucy kept at it.
Kai's eyes narrowed in on her. Watching her, this might be another bust again. Though Lucy Bennett is a powerful witch, if anyone could connect to the afterlife, it had to be her. She was really his last hope. Suddenly, Lucy gasped out and was snapped out of her vision. She dropped the stone, dashing away from him across the room. Her eyes were wild.
Her sudden scare took back Kai. "Who the hell are you?" That was the moment Kai knew she caught him.
Bonnie found herself alone in her dorm room. Today was the first time in a long time, she's had a quiet and normal day. She'd been concerned about Caroline's disappearance, but Bonnie had a feeling Caroline was hiding out with Stefan. She was rooting for those two. Hopefully, they've picked back up where they left off. With those thoughts, Bonnie tried not to think about how lonely and single she was. She hadn't been with anyone since Jeremy. But with everything going on, she just didn't have the time to date. Once she captures Kai, she'd get back out there. She just wants to focus on school and the search.
Getting ready to have a hot bath, Bonnie heard her phone ringing. She reached over her desk to answer it. "Bonnie, I really hate calling you with bad news, but it's Caroline."
For some strange reason, she felt a great weight on her chest. "Is she okay?" She asked.
"Lily has Caroline."
"What?" Bonnie's nostrils flared. Her mind flashed back to the night when they murdered Malcolm. "I did this."
"No, we did this, and we are going to fix this. Bonnie, I have a plan." Damon declared.
With a heavy heart, Bonnie threw herself down on her bed. "Tell me what I need to do."
After her conversation with Damon, Bonnie met up with Matt in the suburbs of Mystic Falls, which was still abandoned. She could see a fresh bandage on his wrist as he was out here shooting beer bottles.
"Matt," she called out. Matt got startled and aimed his gun at Bonnie. She raised her hands up, defensively. "Matt, it's me."
When Matt came to his senses, he lowered his gun. "Bonnie, I am so sorry." He said. She noticed the bags under his eyes. He was under a lot of stress. "It's been a rough twenty-four hours." Bonnie knew the heretics attacked Matt last night, when he found those two dead college kids in the woods.
Bonnie's face turned grim. "I got some bad news." She gave Matt the details of what happened to him the previous night. According to Damon, Lily had the heretics drain vervain from Matt's blood, then compelled him to sign the deed of the Salvatore Boarding House, so that Stefan and Damon could no longer enter it.
Matt was furious, absolutely fuming mad at this. "So know I have to die, so that we can save Caroline."
Not one to mince any words, "Look, I can stop your heart with magic. Once you die the spell is broken, they can enter the house again." She explains.
"How is this fair, Damon does something stupid and we're the ones that end up suffering for it."
Bonnie wasn't in the mood for Matt's bitching about vampires, mainly Damon. She knew he was with faults, but Damon was her friend, too. "We don't have time to fight, we need to save Caroline." She placed her hands on her hip, waiting for Matt to agree.
"Fine." His eyes flashed with anger. Bonnie ignored his tantrum. The two friends went to find an abandoned house to set up. Once Matt laid on the porch floor, Bonnie was next to him, setting her phone's timer. Matt's eyes grew worried, so she placed her hands on top of his chest and chanted her spell.
"Phesmatos sanguine infundare cura. Phesmatos sanguine infundare cura." She could feel his heartbeat slowing down. Soon it stopped for good. She hoped Stefan and Damon worked quickly and got Caroline out.
Kai wanted to march indignantly up to Lucy and rip her throat out. But he knew she was too powerful for any of his short-change tricks. He'd have to escape from her without a killer attack. He was curious, though. "What did you see?" he asked her.
"That thing, it's filled with evil. People were covered in blood, screaming in agony. I saw hellfire." Her voice was cold and mocking. "I know whoever seeks something like this, has to be no good."
He sputtered in protest, but he flinched at the glare she cast his way. "Well, it's not unusual for the Gemini Coven to get themselves into dark magic."
"Gemini Coven." Lucy exclaimed in agitation. "I heard they all died. At a wedding last summer."
Kai smiled. "They did." He chuckled. "Look, Luce. You were a big help." Kai scoot closer to where she dropped the stone. "I probably should just drop this in a vat of acid." He leaned down to grab the stone. His eyes never left Lucy.
She muttered something under her breath. Kai suddenly heard a high-frequency noise that caused him to fall to his knees and clutch his head in pain. "I don't know who you are or what you're up to. But if I ever see you again, you're going to wish I killed you."
She released the spell she had on him. Kai struggled to get back on his feet. "Trust me, you won't see me again." He sauntered out of her apartment, his ears still ringing.
Kai thought about the danger he'd be in if Lucy found out his true identity. She believed someone had wiped the Gemini Coven out. From what he knew, she and Bonnie weren't speaking. This trip could bite him either way. Right now, he had more pressing things to worry about. Being tagged, teamed by Bennett witches wasn't on his top priority, but definitely in his spank bank.
He paused at his stolen car, Kai examined the Phoenix Stone. He had one more stop to make before putting his plan into action. It was time to take a brief trip down to Myrtle Beach and meet up with an old heretic friend.
Making his way to the Boarding House to execute his part of the plan. Damon rang the doorbell of his old house. Surprised to see who answered it.
Enzo pulled the door open. With a scowl on his face, he had no time for Damon's nonsense when he had a girl upstairs bleeding out from being abused by Heretic mean girls.
Damon kept a smile tight on his face. "Enzo, what a surprise."
Face still unamused, looking at his old mate. "Your mother asked me to stick around."
"Of course she did," said Damon, trying to keep a stranglehold on his own composure. "So I guess you know Lily had Caroline kidnapped. Which isn't okay, buddy. I need to get her back."
Enzo had frown lines on his face. "Your mother didn't kidnap Caroline, I did."
"What? Why would you choose to be a bitch boy for my mother over us?" He interjected, and realized belatedly, with dissatisfaction, all the reasons he'd given Enzo over the past couple of years since he'd escaped Whitmore.
Enzo shrugged. "I've sided with you and your friends for years. Never. Not once have any of you chosen me. Except for Bonnie Bennett, saving my life." Enzo remembered the kindness the witch showed him, even when she didn't trust him. "Lily and I have an understanding."
Damon looked skeptical of this. "You know what, have fun with her. She won't stick around for long." Damon took his opportunity to step into the boarding house, which left Enzo surprised. "Did you forget I have a witch?"
"No, but I'd thought you'd be more worried about Elena being tossed out of the family crypt by those heretics so they can bury Malcolm." Enzo shot him a smug look.
Damon went pale as he realized what Enzo was telling him. In that second, he forgot why he came to the house. All thoughts were to protect Elena. With this information, he immediately used his vampire speed to rush to the family crypt to save the love of his life from his mother.
Watching Damon dash off, Enzo shook his head. "And there he goes, abandoning Caroline for his comatose girlfriend. He'll never change." Enzo shuts the door, realizing he chose the right side. He gave Lily a heads up and put phase two in effect.
Bonnie kept her eyes on her phone timer. She had seconds before reviving an unconscious Matt. Her hands were already placed on his chest, getting ready to reset his heart. As she opened her mouth to begin the incantation. She was overtaken with vision. She hadn't felt like this since her Grams announced to her she was a witch. Bonnie let out a deep gasp as she saw flashes of a bearded Kai Parker, with a ruby looking stone. Across from him was a woman who resembled Elena, holding out a dagger. As soon as she handed the dagger to him, Kai strode towards her in a flash and pulled her into him, and covered her mouth with his in a fierce kiss.
Bonnie felt overwhelmed by the vision, but she could hear a beeping noise that didn't fit. She forced herself to come out of this vision. As she jolted out of it, she looked around for her phone, noticing the timer was going off and if she didn't start this spell now, Matt was dead.
She placed her hand over his heart again and started the spell. "Phesmatos sanguine infundare cura. Phesmatos sanguine infundare cura." She chanted, noticing Matt wasn't moving. Bonnie had a nervous twitch. "Matty, wake up. Phesmatos sanguine infundare cura." This time she pressed down on his chest even harder.
After another ten seconds of chanting, Matt heaved as he woke. Bonnie was left feeling relief. Matt sat up to lean on the railing of the porch. He glanced at Bonnie's phone timer, distressed. "That was the longest five minutes of my life."
Bonnie sighed to herself. She was expecting to get chewed out by him on the way back to Whitmore. As she and Matt made their way out of Mystic Falls in his cruiser. Matt had this determined look on his face. "Matt, maybe you should go to the hospital"
"And tell the doctors, my best friend used magic on my heart to kill me." Matt stated angrily. "She waited too long to save me and there might be some long-term effects"
Bonnie watched him sharply. "I had a vision of Kai," her words left Matt blinking rapidly. "He was with a woman, one that looked similar to Elena…" she trailed off apologetically.
"I know finding Kai is the big mission. But maybe, it should be on the back-burner." Matt tried to say. "You have so much going for you. Sophomore year at Whitmore, trying to get that internship with Alaric." Bonnie nodded, but remained silent. "When you died, Caroline and Elena just moved on without a thought. It really baffled me. So seeing you try to save Elena, while Caroline is moving on, along with me. It's not fair. I think you should just live your life how Elena would have lived hers if you had died that night."
Matt's words were spoken from truth. He was right. Elena would have put forth almost zero effort to bring her back. In fact, only Damon might have tried for a while before Elena convinced him to give up. Elena was a selfish girl, far worse than Caroline, though she loved to paint Caroline as the awful friend of their group. "I just never wanted to be like her." Bonnie muttered.
Matt kept quiet for a moment before speaking up. "It's okay. None of us would ever think less of you. Caroline and I spoke on it when you all left for Europe. If you want to leave her to sleep until you pass away, it's fine, even Jeremy agreed." Bonnie had thought little about Jeremy's feelings in all of this. Elena was his sister, and he'd never see her again. But if all her friends were okay, why keep pushing this.
Her face softened for a fraction of a second. "Part of me is doing this for me. Kai really fucked me up." Bonnie supplied. "And I promised Alaric."
"Fuck Alaric, fuck anyone who doesn't put your best interest first. Including Damon." Matt's face was filled with concern.
A soft chuckle escaped Bonnie's lips. "Okay Deputy Matty, no more risking my life."
"Kai will get what's coming to him, soon enough."
Bonnie just grinned despite herself. "Thanks Matt."
They made their way to Whitmore Medical Center, where Matt got checked out, just in case. Bonnie stuck around for an hour before heading back to her dorm room. She called Damon to see if they snatched Caroline back. She could hear Stefan in the background, sobbing. Lily had another person on the deed. Stefan wasn't fast enough to get Caroline and to make matters worse, Lily took Elena out of the crypt and hid her elsewhere. She could be at the bottom of the lake and they wouldn't be able to find her.
Damon promised them both that he had another plan. Bonnie realized these plans were just going to get them into more shit. She hung up on Damon, throwing her phone away. She really needs to listen to Matt. She'd do what she could to help Caroline, but it was time she stopped overextending herself.
Unbuttoning her blouse as she moved towards her bathroom. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, busying herself with the water taps. She stepped into the shower, her nipples tightening instantly at the change in temperature.
Eyes still closed as the water was pouring over her. Bonnie envisioned a hand sweeping up and down her spine. Her fantasy lover's hand was running up her thigh, lost in the smoothness of the curve from her hip to her knee that was made slick by the water. "I want you," she whispered.
He took her mouth frantically, dragging her hips upward until she wrapped her legs around him. One of her fingers made its way inside her entrance. "I'm all wet for you."
Two fingers now slamming into her, the water trail down her face, the steam in the air mingling with the smell of her skin, the sound of her ecstatic moans and the feel of her clenching around her fingers.
Any chance of calming down, of being gentle, was completely gone as soon as she caught her breath, because she whispered, "Harder," as she licked the water off her lips. She could see her dream man being savage, completely mindless as he pushed into her, driving himself as deeply into her body as he could and then pressing even harder, spurred on by her gasps and moans and even more by the way she was whispering to him breathlessly, things she wanted him to do to her.
"Do it," she said, as her walls constricted around her fingers. "Come on, Kai."
She was so taken with her own pleasure, not caring about how loud she got. Her pussy was so wet and slick at the thought of Kai Parker burying himself inside her, and his mouth nipping and suckling her breasts, as his fingers and thumb worked on the space between her thighs.
Bonnie could see that Malachai trademark smirk as he places himself at her opening and slamming inside her. She screamed, thinking about him groaning harshly as he slowly pulled out and slammed back in.
There was no affection or sweetness from him. All she could see was his teeth nipped at her neck and throat while her fingernails dug into his shoulders. His hands on her hips, lifting her and pulling her back onto him in time with his strokes, impaling her over and over with force.
It was basic, and it was rough, and Bonnie knew she'd never feel this good with anyone else. She could already feel her orgasm building as her fingers continued to pound into her. The pleasure was surmounting the pain, clenching and squeezing tighter and tighter.
All she wanted was for him to dig deeper into her. Bonnie's screams increased. For the first time, she imagined Kai throwing his head back so she could fully see his handsome face. When she came around her fingers, she slammed her own head back against the shower walls and let an untamed scream go with her orgasm; a scream that people could hear echo all the way through the dorms.
Her sight was the first thing to come back to her minutes later. This was the third fantasy of Kai she's had since seeing him in Amsterdam. First one was a dream on the plane ride back to Mystic Falls. Second one was the night they killed Malcolm. She felt so powerful; she fingered herself into a deep sleep. Bonnie hated herself afterwards, but it felt so good in the moment. Bonnie finally turned the shower off and stepped out.
Wrapped into a towel, she made her way back to her dorm room. Bonnie checked the bedside table for her phone. She noticed two missed calls, but what shocked her was the person they were from. Someone she hadn't heard from in years. Lucy Bennett.
AN: My theory is that Bonnie's been sexually attracted to Kai since the "hands on his chest" scene. But then she hated herself for liking him after she found out he killed his siblings. Those feeling and thoughts never went away even after everything that happened between them. Now flash forward to season seven Kai being alive, and her seeing him months after the wedding, with his 'Jake Riley' physique, all those sexual feeling would come rushing back. As for Kai, he'll always have a crush on Bonnie. He just believes he'll never have a chance with her because she's way too good for him.
Leave a review on your thoughts and theories about Bonnie and Kai's feeling for each other in season six. How deep do you think it got for each of them?
