Chapter 2
"To live and die"
Bonnie Bennett slowly came back from her profound state of deep sleep, with heavy eyelids and a throbbing headache. She finally took a glance through her blurry sight at her present surroundings. Something seemed strangely familiar to her. And then, it all came back to her…Kai Parker! The abduction, the realization of his lies, and of his physical abuse.
The young witch promptly strengthened her body into a sitting position. She was now dressed of a long white t-shirt and pair of cotton panties; she winced realizing that he must have been the one who had obviously undressed her to put her to bed. Her right hand suddenly wrapped around her throat; haggard eyes scattering the room. Her sight finally held back its search on the bedside table, where a glass of water, two aspirins and a large bottle of prenatal vitamins were awaiting her awakening; a small piece of paper placed strategically by their sides, with the mention:
Take me – Take me also - And drink me!
No, no, no … This, all of this couldn't be happening to her, once again? It was a freaking nightmare! She grabbed the prenatal recipient with a shaking right hand, before dropping it back on the bedside table. He could fuck himself for what she could care!
She was back at the Salvatore Boarding house, wasn't she? But, in what year was she back? She jumped on her jointed feet, turning on herself several times, before frantically opening a few drawers of the large commode: her short jeans jumpsuit, her "off-the shoulders" top – Nineties style? No, no, no …. She reached the top of the commode; grabbing in her hands the newspaper that was purposely lying there for her eyes only. Same newspapers she had crossed words the last time she was here … She rapidly brushed the pages to look at the first headline, raising her sight on the date: May 10th, 1994!
"No, no … No, no, no … "Bonnie repeated; with strong shakes of her head. "Fuck you, Kai Parker, fuck you!" She angrily tore the newspaper in little pieces; falling at her feet in a rain of despair and anger; tears now fluently rolling on her burning cheeks.
"Hey, Bonnie… look at you, you're awake! I'm preparing us a royal breakfast, I hope you're hungry? Well, technically your appetite should pick-up in the next few weeks considering you'll be eating for more than yourself now. " Kai Parker greeted his guest, with a smiley face; standing behind the kitchen island, with a huge smile plastered on his face, an apron placed on his chest, and a spatula in his right hand. "Have you been a good girl?" He pointed the said spatula toward her standing position near the threshold of the kitchen door. "Did you take your prenatal vitamins like I've told you?" He titled his head; while addressing a wink to his guest.
"You're the Devil reincarnated!" She spat angrily; closed firsts placed on each side of her tensed body; her nails entering her own flesh, tiny trails of blood running down her fingers.
"Bon-bon, really, threats so early in the morning? You did not sleep well as I can see? What was it, was the room too hot or too cold?" Kai inquired, turning the omelette over in its pan. "I hope you like green peppers with your eggs?"
"I swear, with my magic, or without it, if it's the last thing I'll do; I'll kill you with my bare hands for good this time, Kai!" She spat, tears filling her eyes.
"Impolite much… I'm cooking you breakfast and that's the way you're repaying my kindness, by insulting me?" Kai commented, right hand rose over his bulged chest, falsely outraged by her display of emotions; a few glimpses of perverted amusement sparkling in his eyes.
She slowly stretched her left arm to grab a porcelain dish displayed on a nearby buffet shelve; before throwing it in his direction. He promptly dodged the bullet, lowering his head and upper body behind the kitchen island; smash of porcelain hitting the wooden floor.
"Fuck you! I hate you! I hate you!" She yelled, breathless; grabbing a few more dishes to throw it away.
"Lower the dishes, now, Bonnie!" Kai ordered, dryly.
"Make me!" The brunette lashed out; before throwing a few more in his direction.
"Fine; you want to play a little game this morning; let's play then!" He mumbled, between his clenched teeth, speeding in his vampire speed to reach her. "It's something we do extremely well together, would you say … Play dirty games?"
In a prompt early jump, Bonnie managed to escape his grip; rushing behind the island to grab a knife.
"I swear Kai; if you take another step, I'll enter this knife so profoundly inside my womb that you won't have the time to blink." Bonnie warned him, before plunging its sharp tip in her belly, through her sweater. "Gone the sick plan you had to get me pregnant, right?"
"You couldn't. Now give me the knife." Kai took another step forward, his right palm opened; his fiery sight narrowed on his prey.
"Oh I would, believe me I would!" Bonnie mumbled, angrily; pushing the tip a little further; small trail of blood staining her white sweater.
"No, I really meant: you couldn't!" Kai repeated, a conniving smile plastered on his lips. "The babies will forbid you to do it, to hurt them, to hurt yourself; after all you're their mother."
"What… What are you talking about?" Bonnie frowned; feeling a powerful source of energy pulling the knife at distance from her belly; before being forced to drop it on the floor a few seconds later. "What did you do?" She spat to his face.
"Me? Nothing, Bon-bon; but if you're asking me again, I would say that our twins are not very happy with their mother at the present moment, and are showing their power." He grinned, perniciously, glimpses of malice showing in his dark irises.
Kai took a sitting position on the wooden bench in front of the kitchen table, his sight narrowed on the brunette, with his chin tugged on top of his closed fists. "They are already quite powerful, would you say? Being only two little foetus floating in your uterus?" He gestured both of his hands to mimic his visual. "Damn! I can wait to see their little faces; I'm sure you're as eager as me!" He robbed his hands together, in much anticipation.
Bonnie stared at him; emptiness filling her eyes, sourness her entire being. She suddenly raised her right hand in front of her mouth, a strong nausea hitting her by surprise. She rushed toward the kitchen sink, throwing up as little as what was left of food in her stomach.
"Bonnie!" Kai promptly rose on his feet; finding himself at her side a few seconds later. He paced back and forth behind her back; not exactly knowing what to do to help her. "Do you have morning sickness?" He inquired, with much worries filling his voice. "What is wrong with you? Please talk to me?"
"Oh please, don't give me your fake worries; I have enough to deal with as it is." She replied, dryly; her hand wiping the corners of her mouth; before tilting her head forward for a second round.
"I do care!" Kai replied, mostly outraged by her imply. "If it's morning sickness, you should eat crackers or something, it could help; right? Your stomach is probably empty by now – Therefore, it's triggering even more nausea."
"Thanks for the 101 Einstein!" Bonnie mumbled, angrily, between her teeth, while keeping her head down. "What… What did you mean by "twins?"
"Twins Bonnie means: one and one equal two babies." He responded, rolling his eyes to the ceiling; grabbing a hand towel to soak it wet under the cold faucet. "I thought you were the one who put back the ascendant in one piece?"
"Fuck you, Kai!" Bonnie replied, under clenched teeth, a hand placed in front of her mouth to hold down the next nausea. "You mean like the Covent Twins? For what purpose would you inseminate me of twins?"
"No, Bonnie!" Kai lost his temper, twisting the towel in his hands. "I've killed the entire Gemini Coven and all members of my family, remember Joe and Alaric' wedding?" He added, slyly.
"Thanks for the added nausea down my throat." She winced at the mere memory of that said massacre. "How could I ever forget how easily you've killed a list of hundred guests at that wedding?"
"It was a necessary evil to deliver my soul of the past. But these twins are my creation only – This, all of this - It has nothing to do with the Coven. Do you hear me?" He nervously paced back and forth behind her standing position near the sink, still twisting the towel in his hands.
"I hear you." Bonnie nodded. She had been alone in his company long enough, back in the days, to recognize his demented seances, and to know when it was safer for her to back-the-hell-off. "Why me? You could have easily chosen among millions of women to fulfill your plan?"
"Why? You really have to ask?" Kai held his pace, before tilting his head to the right to stare at her. "But Bonnie, it's always coming back to you, always." He confessed, unceremoniously, with a single shake of his head. "You are the link between me and the twins now."
"You were already sick and perverted in the past, Kai; but now you've surely reached an even more demented state." Bonnie replied, dryly and breathless; her carnation fading into a green color, pain hitting her lower stomach.
"Come here." Kai suggested; raising his right opened palm for her to hold his hand. "I can ease your pain."
"No, don't touch me; stay the hell away from me!" She pointed a forbidden finger toward his chest; before feeling another range of nausea hitting her by surprise.
"Come on, Bonnie; can we put our differences aside for five minutes?" Kai titled his head, a shy smile spreading on both corners of his manly lips. "I'm sincerely worried about you."
"You're worried about me? Oh, this is crap, Kai!" She lowered her head over the sink, one additional time.
"Don't fight me, please? Come." He gently pulled the witch away from her standing position in front of the kitchen counter; her body leaning against his bulged chest now, her head now falling back on his left shoulder; while his right arm encircled her waist. He softly brushed a few strands away from her face, before passing the wet hand towel on her face and forehead to refresh her burning flesh. "You know you're always fighting me; and I find this endearing to say the least." He whispered, near her left ear; his lips brushing her earlobe. "But I also know how much you want to give in to me. I can't stop thinking about the night you actually did… It felt right, Bonnie."
"You're delusional!" Bonnie mumbled, between her clenched teeth; her body and head still leaning on his muscular body and shoulder, with her eyes kept closed. She hated to admit it to herself, but the soft motion of the wet hand towel on her burning forehead and the whisper of his voice had a calming effect on her nervous system.
"About you? I always been." He closed his eyes, his lips softly brushing her left cheek into an almost perceivable kiss; both hands reaching the soft contours of her belly. "Feeling better?"
"Give my magic back, Kai? Please?" Bonnie begged him; trying to trick him in one of his weaker moments.
"Delusional, but not stupid, Bonnie!" Kai let a small laughter escape his lips.
An intense rage suddenly filled her entire being; she finally found the strength inside of her to push herself at arm length of his grip; before rushing toward the exit of the kitchen.
"Bonnie, where are you going?" He threaten more than asked; his fiery sight narrowed on her frail figure.
"As far away from the devil as my legs can take me!" She spat, before rushing toward the stairs.
"Bonnie; come back here!" Kai shouted; walls echoing his anger.
"Open the door, Bonnie; Or I swear I'll have it flying out of its arch in no time!" Kai yelled, through the close panel; closed fists placed on each side of his tensed body, while pacing back and forth on the length of the upstairs corridor. "Nothing will stop me; certainly not a locked door; do you hear me?"
"Yes. But, I won't open the door." Bonnie shook her head; her stare glued to the said entrance. "You want me to believe how much you care about me? Are you willing to prove it and make a deal?" She suggested, tears filling her eyes while fear filled her mind and soul.
"What kind of a deal?" Kai frowned, both hands placed on each side of the arch. "I'm listening?"
"You leave me alone in this room and in return … I'll … I'll take the prenatal vitamins and I'll have your kids when the time will come." She suggested, out of breaths.
"What about food?" Kai arched an eyebrow. "You'll need to nourish yourself."
Bonnie rolled his eyes; count on this psycho to think about food in the most stressful moments.
"You'll … You'll leave trays in front of the door; and I'll eat the food… I promise." Bonnie responded, hopeful that her stratagem could and would work.
"You'll stay nine months in a confined environment?" Kai asked, suspiciously. "That can't be good for our twins, Bonnie?"
"There's … There's always the balcony … I'll take a bit of fresh air every day." The brunette added, stammering nervously.
"I don't know about this?" Kai growled, obviously unhappy by this sudden turn of events. "It would be much easier for me to drag you out of the room."
"And I'll hate you for it forever." Bonnie replied, dryly.
"You already hate me, Bonnie; isn't it the truth?" A low whisper came to her ears; sending a range of cold shivers down her spine.
"True. But … I'll hate you even more, Kai." Bonnie added, in a single breath.
After a few minutes, the silence finally filled the space around her, it seemed like he had left?
"Kai? Kai …" She called his name, repeatedly; before letting a long sigh of relief escape her lips.
God had mercy on her, at least for tonight he would leave her be, and she would be able to rest in peace, she thought to herself, laying exhausted on the bed; before drifting into a dreamless state of sleep.
"Bonnie… Bonnie!" Caroline yelled her friend' name repeatedly; her nose glued to the living room window of the Bennett house, with her eyes frantically scattering the room. "Are you home? Come on, open the front door would you? It's been days without a single call or text message from you."
Only the silence and a few chirps of the birds answered the blonde vampire.
"Fine! It's not like I don't know where the damn spare key is!" Caroline mumbled to herself; taking a glance at the potential passerby who could notice the secret hideaway, before grabbing the spare key underneath a large flowerpot near the entrance door.
She reached the handle, glancing one last time toward the sidewalk, assuring herself that the coast was clear, before sliding the key inside the lock to enter inside.
"Bonnie, are you home?" Caroline pushed the door close, leaning her back on the panel. "It's Caroline; I came to check on you." She added, in a louder tone of voice.
Everything seemed as usual inside the living room, with a few fashion magazines sporadically placed on the coffee table. The young female vampire continued the research, passing by the kitchen where nothing out of the ordinary seemed to have happened there either. She finally reached her friend's bedroom, sliding her head through the door, before stepping over the threshold.
"Bonnie, are you here?" She called, one last time; frowning at the state of the room.
The iron bed had been moved in the middle of the bedroom, bedspread and sheet had been pushed at the foot of the bed, on the floor; and her side table lamp was now broken, and had probably been pushed on the wooden floor also.
At first sight, it was more than obvious that her friend Bonnie could have struggled in her sleep, or could it be that this has been an intrusion of a burglar? Or perhaps the heretics were back in town?
Caroline swallowed a lump in her throat; her sixth sense silently telling her nothing that she wanted to truly hear. She finally buried her right hand in her handbag to grab her cellphone.
"Come on, come on, answer your damn phone; damn it!" The blonde vampire stomped on her feet on the floor, biting her nails nervously.
"What do you want, Blondie?" Damon's voice responded.
"Why are you answering Stefan's phone anyway?" Caroline spat; right hand brushing a long strand of hair from her forehead.
"Well, hello to you too, Caroline." Damon replied, dryly. "What do you want?"
"Where's Stefan? I need to talk to him … I think … No, I'm almost entirely positive that something had happened to Bonnie?" Caroline explained, pacing back and forth in front of the bed.
"What do you mean something happened to Bonnie?" Damon suddenly inquired, much worries in his tone of voice.
"Where is Stefan, Damon?" Caroline repeated, impatiently.
"He's … He's comforting Elena." Damon responded, suddenly toneless.
"What do you mean comforting Elena? Isn't it your job as of now?" She asked, frowning.
"Jealous much, Caroline?" Damon pissed her off even more. "It's my brother for God sake, they are still friends, you know?"
"Aren't you, Damon?" Caroline replied, tit for tat.
"They had a moment; something about their past history together, Caroline, and … And, Elena suddenly lost it on the fact that she had lost two years of her life because of this stupid sleeping spell … and one thing lead to the other, and … Stefan hugged her. There's sincerely nothing to get your panties in a twist." He added, slyly.
"Of course not. I'm sorry." The blonde bombshell shook her head. She needed to stop her damn insecurities about Stefan and Elena's past history… She needed to stop thinking that way, now! "I guess I'm really nervous about Bonnie."
"What's going on?" Stefan's voice suddenly filled the silence.
"I think … No, I don't think, I'm almost certain that Bonnie has been taken against her will." Caroline informed her boyfriend.
"What?" Stefan exclaimed, in shock. "I know she's been mostly absent the past few days, but… Isn't it a bit far edge?"
"Stefan, listen to me … Her bedroom look like a battlefield." Caroline replied, with much concerns.
"We are on our way!" Stefan replied; in a short sentence.
"Is this the state you have found the bedroom?" Stefan asked, spanning over the bed cover.
"Yes; it's like she struggled or something?" Caroline shrugged; nervously rubbing her hands nervously together.
"It's all my fault; last time I've met with her, she seemed disturbed." Elena commented, uncomfortably.
"Disturbed, how?" Damon asked, turning his head to glance at his girlfriend; arching both eyebrows.
"Well, you know…" Elena bit her bottom lip, uneasily.
"No, Elena; I don't know!" Damon replied, much impatience filling his voice. "Since you came back, I've stayed with you day inn – day out; I did not check with Bonnie one single time, what kind of a friend was I?"
"I'm sure Bonnie wasn't resentful of you passing some quality time with Elena. After all, she came back to the living after such a long time." Caroline tried to ease the tension to the best of her capacities.
"What you meant by: She seemed disturbed?" Stefan asked, himself; grabbing the broken lamp that was lying on the floor.
"Nothing really; forget what I just said." Elena waved her hands, shaking her head at the same time.
"Elena?" Damon growled her name, loudly.
"Well… She's grown attached to you, Damon; and then I came back, you know?" The brunette tried to explain her theory.
"No, I don't, Elena." The vampire shook her head, dumbfounded. "Bonnie and I… I mean; we became good friends, while you were gone. She wouldn't leave without some kind of an explanation."
"Really Elena?" Caroline crossed both of her arms in front her chest; consternation plastered on her face. "Are you implying Bonnie left Mystic Falls because suddenly she couldn't handle seeing Damon in your presence?"
"No, of course; I'm not implying that…" Elena shook her head, redness filling her cheeks.
"Could it be that the heretics came back?" Damon turned his attention toward his brother; who kept studying the scene crime with much attention.
"I've checked with my informants; it's been confirmed they are far away from Mystic Falls as we could wish they are." Stefan replied, with a sigh of relief.
"What could have happened then? Where is Bonnie?" Damon turned several times on himself to scatter the bedroom.
"Seriously, if I did not know any better…" Caroline started. "With Elena back from her sleeping state, and Bonnie who mysteriously disappeared a few days later, I would seriously think that …"
"…That Kai Parker would have done it!" Elena finished her sentence. "If he was still alive."
"Yes; exactly!" Caroline exclaimed; pointing a finger toward the brunette.
Both Stefan and Damon froze their movements; heads slowly moving to stare at each other.
"Oh please, tell me that can't be." Damon shook his head; horror plastered on his face.
"But, it makes total sense!" Stefan grabbed his head with both hands.
"It makes no fucking sense at all, you really mean?" Damon exclaimed, angrily. "I decapitated the fucking jerk; how can this even be a possible?"
"Did you? Or was it only an illusion from his part?" Stefan suggested, pacing back and forth on the Persian rug. "Don't you find it a bit strange that Elena was able to come back from her sleeping state fifty-eight years before her time?"
"I know… I thought about it; since she reopened her eyes." Damon passed a shaking hand over his face.
"What are you both talking about, for God sake?" Caroline exclaimed, nervously.
"Kai Parker…" Damon let out the name escape his lips.
"We think that he's…" Stefan added.
"Alive!" Elena finished, a shocked expression plastered on her face. "And he kidnapped Bonnie!"
"Damn it!" Kai cursed aloud; grabbing one of the legs' crib; while looking at the plan laid on the floor in front of his sight. "Who's the genius behind the IKEA store, anyway?"
"If you take part B and insert it in F; it will work." Kai heard the female voice suggesting him. He froze all his movements, slowly raising his heads to meet Bonnie's gaze.
"You think?" He wondered, a small smirk raising the right side of his lips; his sight sliding on her much rounded figure. Two months had passed since the last day he had come face to face with the witch.
"Yes; almost certain." Bonnie shrugged, standing on the threshold of the parlor room; leaning her left shoulder on the arch. "What are you putting together, anyway?"
"The baby cribs." Kai responded, while trying to insert "F" in "B". "Are you sure about those two pieces?"
"No wonder you were never able to assemble the ascendant the right way." Bonnie rolled her eyes to the ceiling, slowly advancing toward his sitting position; before kneeling by his side. She grabbed both pieces of wood, before clicking the two together. "There!" She handed it to him.
"Thanks." He addressed her his most charming smile "You came out." Kai simply stated the truthful fact more than truly questioned.
"I came out." Bonnie nodded, lowering her head and sight away from his burning stare.
"You're not afraid of me, anymore; Bonnie?" Kai asked, reaching for another piece of wood.
"I've never been afraid of you, Kai; I've always been more scare of the pain you could inflict to my friends, to the entire world." Bonnie stated the single and truthful fact; raising her sight in his. "And, I came to the conclusion that I wouldn't truly hurt me while I was carrying the twins, and that I wouldn't be able to leave 1994 before giving birth to them."
"You're showing now." He nodded; his stare lowered on her prominent belly.
"Yes." Bonnie replied, with a single word; a shy smile plastered on her full lips, her right hand caressing her new roundness.
"You like being pregnant, don't you?" Kai asked; feeling her mixed emotions.
"I was forced into this; you forced "this" on me, Kai!" Bonnie replied, dryly; raising back on both legs, before crossing her arms in front of her chest, in a form of protection against him.
"You did not answer my question, Bonnie?" The powerful warlock replied.
Bonnie swallowed a lump in her throat, her sight locked in his for a few seconds.
"You forced "this" on me, Kai." She repeated, turning on her heels to reach the staircase.
"Yes…You do like being pregnant, Bonnie." Kai concluded to himself, a huge smile spreading on his face.
