Its been a while but here it is.
The real world was a lot nosier than Bonnie had thought it would be, almost overwhelmingly so. She glanced at Kai who didn't seem bothered at all, just giddy, like a kid in a candy store as he peered around at the nighttime lights of a street. He was holding her hand tightly, as if he was afraid she was going to run away. She had no plans to.
When they had first arrived he had left her for a little while, which had irritated her anxiety a little, but he had returned in a matter of hours with new clothes and other new things he called 'toys.' He wasn't keen on sharing.
Feeling her gaze on him he turned and smiled at her, she quickly returned the smile. He brought their conjoined hands up and kissed the back of hers. Bonnie felt relief because of his good mood, even with her uncertainty about being in the real world.
What where they suppose to do now? What was she suppose to do?
Kai had mentioned something about finding his family and she had promised to help him with that. She looked at the sign they were currently standing in front of 'Whitmore Campus' it read. A college. She wasn't sure why he had brought them here, anytime she would ask he would simply shush her with his finger over her lip as his eyes twinkled in that dark way of his. She didn't push him on the matter.
Kai led her to a building called Whitmore Bar, keeping her close to his side. He wouldn't stop grinning, which made her stomach pinch painfully with discomfort. Kai's grins weren't a good thing.
He lets go of her hand once they get inside of the bar. "Stay close, Bons." He whispered as he headed towards the bar. He leaned against the counter as Bonnie waited behind him, peering around the new surrounding, but her focus still on Kai.
"How may I help you?" The lady behind the bar asked with a smile.
"Two zimas, please."
"Hilarious," the woman said dryly, pulling Bonnie's gaze to Kai, waiting for his reaction. The woman narrowed her eyes. "Are you going to order something or just stare?"
Kai glanced back at Bonnie with an exaggerated, goofy smile before turning back to face the woman. "Ok. How about two sodas," he cocks his head, "Liv?" The woman looked more than happy as she turned around and went to get the drinks. Kai turned to look at Bonnie again and patted the seat next to him. "Come sit, Bons" Bonnie took a couple of steps forward until she was sitting in the chair next to Kai. He leaned into her. "I have a sister named Liv, Ironic, huh?" He whispered into her ear.
(O)
While Kai talked the bartenders head off, Bonnie tried not to let the fact that Kai's hand on her knee was sucking steadily on her magic show on her face. She folded her arms and rested them on the counter and closed her stinging eye lids.
Suddenly she's inside of a living room, one with a blazing fire place and expensive furniture. Eyes stilled closed, Bonnie frowned, trying to grasp onto the image she was sure she had never seen before but felt so familiar.
"Aah"
Bonnie's eyes sprang open, surprised to see the scene in front of her. Kai had the bartender frozen with his magic.
"I was trying to kill you. Why don't we pick up where we left off?"
"I don't think so." The woman gasped out as she produced an object Bonnie couldn't make out and stabbed him with it.
"Bonnie," Kai grunted as the woman made a dash for the door.
Bonnie knew what he wanted and found herself causing all of the locks in the bar to lock with her magic. Sweat popped up along her hairline at the exertion of using the magic she had left so quickly after being pulled from.
"Kai," she whispered unsure. She didn't want to do this.
"Life is so much easier when you work as a team," he grinned, " what a magical and very attractive tag team we make, Bonster." He shoots her a thumbs up as Liv runs around and checks the other doors.
Bonnie can only watch her wide eyed, unsure. She moved closer to Kai.
"Feels kind of like cheating. I'm sad you didn't recognize me. That means dad erased all of my existence" he pouted, "family pictures, movies, little handprint turkey I made. What a dick." Liv ran for the stairs. "Bonnie, stay here will you? I got some catching up to do with my baby sister."
"Kai, what are you doing?" Bonnie panted as he started after the woman.
"Just trust me, Bonnie." Kai called out behind him.
Bonnie was left only as furniture started moving above her. She could hear Kai's voice and the woman's voice. She chewed on her bottom lip in frustration. What in the hell was going on?
Upon hearing a new voice and Kai's curse, Bonnie bolted up the stairs her heart pounding in her ears. She threw the unknown stranger over tables and against a wall and pinned him there with everything she had left in her, furious.
"Kai," she called out, "where are you?" She froze the woman much like how Kai had. Her whole body shook as she struggled to keep the witch and werewolf at bay. "Are you hurt?"
"Bonnie?" The man strained, voice filled with disbelief and bewilderment.
Her concentration almost slipped at the man saying her name. She stared at him, taking in his features trying to put a name to the face, but came up blank. Her anxiety grew and and her whole body began to hurt, but she had gone through worse pain at the hands of Kai, she held on.
"Who are you?" She gritted out. Where in the hell was Kai? He could explain this.
"He's the bad doggy who threw me outside," Kai bounded up the stairs with a limp, "he coulda' killed me, Bons." He sniffed. "You came through though, baby." The wold had began to tilt for Bonnie and she found her control falling away as her body reached for the floor. Kai caught her. "I guess I spoke too soon." He mumbled.
Without giving the werewolf and his sister anytime to retaliate, Kai quickly used a spell capable of getting himself and Bonnie out of there.
(O)
"You came in like a momma bear back there, Bons." Kai laughed as he handed her another glass of water. They were currently in a motel room. Bonnie accepted the water and pushed herself into a sitting position on the bed. Kai sat down beside her legs. She sipped on the water, trying to get the world to stop spinning as Kai petted the side of her sweaty head. "You kind of let me down at the end there though."
Bonnie removed the cup from her lips as she stared at Kai. "You took most of my magic, I did as good as I could." She defended herself. She shifted and furrowed her brows as she looked away from him.
"You should have been able to handle more than that." Kai chided with a shrug. Bonnie stiffened, gaze lowering. Kai groaned and rolled his shoulders.
She forced herself to look up. "Are you hurt?" She asked softly reaching for his arm. He scooted away from her, making her fingers fall from his sleeve. Her heart squeezed. "Kai," she frowned.
"You gotta do better, Bonster." He stood and headed towards the bathroom.
Bonnie found herself glaring at his back. He reached for the doorknob and tried opening the door but it wouldn't budge. He turned to her with a raised eyebrow. "Are you going to throw a tantrum now?"
"Who was that werewolf? How does he know my name?" She asked ignoring his patronizing.
Kai sighed and folded her arms. "Obviously he's one of your friends. You know, one of the ones that used and abandoned you?" He used the magic he had stolen from her to push the door open, his magic dwarfing her slowly returning powers. "You don't have to be such a brat." He slammed the door shut.
Bonnie mind whirled. That man had been one of her supposed friends? A face from her past and it hadn't rang any bells. Overwhelmed with the news and Kai's attitude, Bonnie pulled her knees to her chest and pressed her face against them.
(RY)
He wanted to kill his family because they had hurt him, that's what he told her. He told her they were horrible people.
Who else was she suppose to believe? What was she suppose to believe. Kai, it wasn't even really a choice anymore. She she had followed Kai to the cemetery.
She knew Kai was capable of horrible things, she had been hurt by him enough times to know that. He claimed that was how he loved. But none of this was looking like love to her.
"You see how easily people flip on one another, Bonnie?" Kai whispered to her, bringing her attention back to the present. "See how flimsy family is? See how you cannot trust anyone but me cause our love is different. I got them to do all of this and I didn't even really need them too." He grinned and turned to the other two. "Oh and this is my girlfriend, guys, isn't she hot?" He said louder.
Bonnie eyed the bartender and the new stranger with her, Liv and Luke, Kai had said. Than there was Jo, the unconscious and chained woman back inside. They were his siblings.
"You tried to kill us." The Liv girl shouted. "You're insane," she glanced Bonnie and sneered, "and she's just a traitor."
Bonnie looked away from Kai where he was creating an antimagic boarder and down at the knife he had her holding. She thought about the Liv girl's words. She wasn't a traitor, she didn't think, she was standing by Kai's side even though he was doing things she didn't particularly agree with.
"What did you do to me?"
"Sissy's up," Kai sang and nudged Bonnie with his shoulder with a grin. Bonnie merely led the way back inside. She took her place against the wall, only planning on stepping in if Kai needed her. This was a family issue, she decided. She had to let Kai handle it the way he wanted to. She pushed down any feelings that told her otherwise.
"What in the hell did you do to me?"
Kai made a noise with his tongue, one of displeasure. "I haven't seen you in years. You can't even muster a hello?"
Jo was panted, her eyes wide with fear. She turned her attention to her younger siblings. "What did you guys do?"
"What should have been done 18 years ago." Liv said.
"Its not going to work, I don't have my,"
"Magic. Yeah. Yeah. I recall. You stored it in this, Bonnie," he held out his hand. Bonnie stepped forward and handed the knife to Kai. Bonnie didn't even flinch when he stabbed Jo with the blade, but merely shifted, eyes zeroing in on the wound, heart rate picking up. Kai glanced at her as if he could hear it and grinned.
"What in the hell?"
"I'm trying to reunite Jo with her magic," he stabbed her again, "its not working."
Bonnie's hand subconsciously moved underneath the sleeves of her sweater, fingers lightly brushing over a roughly healed scar.
"Enough, Enough, man." Luke tried to stop him. Bonnie with a flick of her hand sent the Kai's brother into the wall. Kai without missing a beat came to stand in front of the pinned man, a knife against his neck.
"I was wanting to kill you when your brain was the size of an acorn. You don't think I'll do it now?" He lets go of the man a minute later, scowl gone.
The man looked shaken and Bonnie couldn't blame him.
"Whatever, I'm not watching this." Luke quickly makes an exit.
Kai laughed. "Such whimps, huh, Bons?" Bonnie said nothing, just chewed on her lip. "All right, Sissy, lets try again."
"Stop," Jo cried out, "I put my magic in there by choice. Taking it back is also my choice unless I bleed to death, which will happen in the next 30 minutes." She laughed humorlessly. "Wouldn't be ironic if you accidentally killed me before the merge ceremony?"
Kai grew silent and thoughtful. "Can you do me a favor, Bonnie? Help me bandage up my sister wounds lord knows you have enough experience in that." He turned to Liv. "You're going to find out how to get the magic out of the knife and into our sister. Preferably before I get back so I don't have to dull it by silting your throat. I mean it. Tell her how important deadlines are to me, Bonnie."
"Do you really have to draw this out?" Bonnie fought to keep her voice calm.
He shrugged. "What's fun in doing it quick?"
"I don't want to be a part of this." She voiced her thoughts.
Kai frowned. "You're thinking about abandoning me?"
Bonnie frowned at him. "No," she shook her head, "I'm obviously not needed here."
"I just asked you to help bandage my sister." She could hear the irritation in his voice. "Now is not the time for one of your moods, Bonnie." Before she could say anything else he stood before her, staring her down. "You don't have to be here if you don't want to be. Go on, leave."
She didn't.
(RY)
"What does he have over you?"
Bonnie didn't answer or meet either of the sister gazes from her place against the wall. Kai hadn't returned yet.
"She's Bonnie," Live spoke, "Tyler and the others friend." She said unhappily.
Jo's eyebrows shot up. "You're here? They've been looking for ways to save you." She frowned. "What are you doing with Kai?"
Bonnie finally brought her gaze to the sisters, interest peeked.
"She's a traitor," Liv spoke, "she helped Kai when he attacked me at the bar."
"I am not a traitor," Bonnie finally spoke, annoyed with being called something she obviously was not. She was here, wasn't she?
"What do you call siding with the enemy and hurting your friends if not a traitor?" Liv sneered at her.
Bonnie shook her head. "You're wrong. My so called friends are the ones that betrayed me." Liv snorted, which did nothing but annoy Bonnie. She suddenly smiled, a cruel smile she felt belong on the face of Kai himself. "Are you not the one helping your enemy brother hurt her?" She nodded towards Jo. "You're calling me a traitor?"
Liv seemed unable to find her words.
"You're wrong and I'm not sure what Kai has done to you, Bonnie, but my sister isn't betraying me, she's going to help me get free right now, right?"
The younger woman pressed her lips together. "Look, Jo. You can't run away from this anymore. You've had 18 years of freedom."
Jo looked amazed. "Is that how you think, that I've been shrinking my responsibilities to the family?"
Liv looked flustered. "Luke is all I've got. If we merge and he dies, I may as well be dead, too."
Bonnie blocked out the sister drama and focused on what had been said to her before she had gotten the attention off of herself. She found herself annoyed that the girl Liv kept calling her a traitor, so much so that she missed Kai's sudden and violent return.
"Can you believe that's all it took?" Kai asked Bonnie as he ran a hand over Jo's face, the unconscious Liv on the ground. "Me threatening little Liv?" Outside someone whistles. Bonnie stiffened. Now what? She was hoping this all was about to be over. "Watch my sissys for me will you, Bon?" Kai said before he went to investigate.
Bonnie and Jo watched each other, neither of them moving even though the older woman was now free. Bonnie was tense though she didn't appear to be on the outside. She waited for her move. A tingle raced up Bonnie's spine, sharp slicing of her nerves. Kai needed her.
The handle of the gun aimed at Kai's head grew so hot that it glowed red. The man that had been holding the gun shirked and dropped it, soon finding himself on the ground clawing at his neck in a desperate need for air.
Bonnie eyes left the man and darted to Kai to check him over, but her gaze somehow landed on a dark haired blue eyed man instead. The man's intense gaze was on her as well, wide like his slack jaw.
"Bonnie?" He breathed in pure astonishment.
Bonnie couldn't understand.
She couldn't understand why all of a sudden she couldn't breathe. Her body quaked and her mind raced so fast nothing made sense. All she knew was that she hated this feeling, because she had no idea what it was.
Dark spots danced in front of her vision and suddenly she was very, very weak.
The last thing she heard before she lost consciousness was Kai's displeased voice hissing her name.
