Short chapter
"That was real clever of you, Bons." Bonnie peered out of the attic window of a two-story house down below at Kai standing in the middle of the road, shouting at the top of his lungs. She panted loudly in an attempt to catch her breath and even it out, just in case he could hear her. Sweat slid down her face and neck, the temperature in the attic only making that worse. She nursed a bruised rib, caused a madly grinning Kai and a steel pole to the abdomen. "Using the illusion spell and tricking me with a one image while you creeped up behind me to stab me. I mean, hell, it hurt." She watched him rub his stomach, his white T-shirt still coated in blood, a giant red spot on his side. "You've learned well, huh?" He spun around, peering at the houses on the other side of the street. "But that spell used up a lot of juice, huh? I'm sure you're still exhausted from it even though I've been out for hours."
She was amazed he could do all of the screaming without causing him pain, but than again, he probably enjoyed it. He continued to spin around, studying each house closely, bypassing the home she was hiding in twice. Then his eyes zeroed in on the house and stayed there, a grin spreading across his face that she could clearly see.
Bonnie quickly backed away from the window and dropped down. Her fingers dug into the dusty attic floor as she scrambled backwards, intent on making a run for it. As she made her way down the stairs, she mumbled a quick spell which should keep Kai out of the home for a couple of minutes.
She darted down the home's upstairs hallway and down the main stairs, skipping the last couple. She darted into the kitchen and grabbed the largest butcher knife she could find. She could hear Kai trying to get into the house through the front door. She didn't bother going for the backdoor, knowing that it was probably a trap and instead went into one of the downstairs bedrooms and pushed the window open and kicked out the screen before climbing out and landing awkwardly on a bush."Shit," she cursed. She didn't pause, she quickly regained her footing and took off.
"Bonnie," she stopped and turned around just before the clump of bushes the separated the house's backyard to another. "I see you." Kai stood between the house she had just escaped from and the other, smirking widely. "Found you."
Bonnie bolted, pushing herself through the bushes, ignoring the pricks and scrapes she was receiving because of it. She stumbled into the opposite backyard and peered around only for a second before darting from the house and out of the yard and into the road. Her fear of being caught by Kai making her completely forget about the pain in her side.
She darted into the woods and a few seconds in found herself tripping over a root. She fell hard, a pain cry left her as she hit the dirt, her hands and arms skinning on sticks and rocks.
"Oh, Bonnie, you can't fall like that when vampires are after you. You better get up before I get there."
She knew he was close behind her, his voice just sounded a whole lot closer than she thought it would be. She gritted her teeth and quickly climbed onto her feet and started off limping at first before quickly moving into a mad sprint. She could hear Kai behind her, giggling like a mad man.
Bonnie kept going but soon was tripping again over a rock. Kai laughed. Bonnie struggled to get up, looking behind her at the approaching Kai.
Just as he was about to reach her, he was suddenly being lifted of the ground by his leg, upside down he hung from a tree.
Bonnie smirked as she looked up at the dangling Kai. "This is familiar," she called up to him as she slowly rose to her feet, ignoring the pain in her body.
Kai's body spun around slowly, his eye brows were raised. "Not bad, Bons, using my own trick against me." He sounded pleased and Bonnie found herself almost excited with the praise.
"I'm not done yet." She let go of the butcher knife she was still carrying and it began to float in the air. She crossed her arms nonchalantly even though she was pumped up.
Kai was grinning madly. "What are you going to do with that, Bonnie?"
She hated this part, but she knew it was what Kai wanted. She would prove her loyalty even if that meant hurting him like he asked. She kept her smile in place as a small laugh left her.
"Quick or slow, Kai?" She asked, but before he could even answer, she had sent the blade shooting into his chest. "Quick" She answered for the silent man.
