Lana Del Rey – Big Eyes

Bonnie had never thought of herself as someone who liked to be in control. That had always been Caroline's expertise. It was only now, as she stood over Kai's unconscious body in the 1994 prison world, that she wanted to drown in the feeling of power surging through her veins.

She was technically 'powerless', since it was just yesterday that she'd trapped her magic inside Ms. Cuddles and sent it away. Bonnie had accepted the fact that she'd probably never have magic again, all in an attempt to keep Kai from escaping the prison world.

So did she have magic? No. But that wasn't the kind of power she was feeling.

It all happened when Kai brought her to his childhood home to cook 'thanksgiving dinner' for her. While he was busy making pasta, the psychotic idiot had made the great mistake of leaving out his pager.

Bonnie saw the message he'd written out: I lied.

She was furious, livid, murderous even, but she somehow managed to smile and pretend she'd never seen the message. She was one step ahead of him now, and she needed to keep it that way. Setting Kai's pager back on the table, Bonnie scooted her chair back and stood up.

Kai's gaze snapped up from the spaghetti he was stirring, eyes widening as he watched Bonnie clutch the back of the wooden chair in her effort to stand.

"Hey, easy there," he protested, pointing at her with a fork. "You need to rest. I gave you a whole lotta pain meds earlier and I don't feel like picking you up off the floor when you pass out."

"I'm fine," she said between her teeth, knuckles turning white and jaw clenched as she put one foot in front of the other. Slowly but surely, she made her way to the opposite side of the counter where he stood.

Kai laughed yet again, making her desperately want to slam his head into the counter. Or maybe she'd dump the pot of boiling spaghetti over his head.

"If you say so," he shrugged in response. "But if you pass out and then wake up laying in my bed, don't be mad. It's the most comfortable one in the house."

He winked at her then, which did nothing but make her even angrier.

I lied.

It played over and over again inside of her head like a scratched record. That message could only mean one thing: Kai was still out for revenge, against both Bonnie and his family. He wouldn't stop until he found way to get out of this hell, and judging by the message he'd drafted on his pager, he already had an escape plan. Bonnie highly doubted that plan included her, and if it did, she was sure her part in it was to be left behind, bleeding and alone.

The thought of Kai wanting to kill her wasn't what bothered Bonnie: it was that he planned to leave her alone. Bonnie's jaw clenched at the realization.

How dare he.

It was in that moment that she realized what she needed to do. She would get him back in a way that he would never see coming.

Bonnie knew for a fact that Kai was no idiot. However juvenile he always acted, it meant nothing to Bonnie. She knew that he was sly as a snake and much more dangerous to her than any other creature on earth. She could deal with werewolves and vampires, even the oldest and most powerful ones. She'd singlehandedly brought Silas, Klaus, and even Kol to their knees. Literally. Vampires were predictable. They always went for the neck, always tried to use their speed to their advantage.

But Kai was completely unpredictable. He rarely used the same move twice and he'd been watching Bonnie for months now. He knew her better than most of her own friends did.

Kai knew Bonnie's tricks, how her mind worked. But she barely knew him.

She knew that she'd have to be precise, cautious, smart, calculated. She would have to catch him completely off guard, make him lower his walls, believe she meant him no further harm, just like he had done with her today. She'd have to put on the best show of her life if she planned on fooling him. And then, when she had him wrapped around her finger, Bonnie would pounce, and Kai would be completely at her mercy.

But she needed to get close to him. Very close.

Lana Del Rey – Sad Girl

When she leaned on the counter and offered to help him cook, Kai was confused. Bonnie knew he's get suspicious, so she used the excuse that she didn't feel like sitting anymore, that her muscles ached from staying in one position.

The excuse seemed to work for Kai. He shrugged and told her to cut up some vegetables, motioning towards a cutting board with a large, shiny knife laying on it. It shocked Bonnie for a second that he trusted her enough to let her stand beside him and use a knife, but then again, Kai was unaware that she knew about his evil plan.

So while Bonnie chopped vegetables and Kai added ingredients to his spaghetti sauce, he told her dozens of lame jokes that he'd seen in a book. Bonnie had to struggle not to smile, more so than she would've liked to admit.

After nearly ten minutes of Kai's incessant puns, the corner of Bonnie's mouth turned up too much to hide. But Kai saw it of course and immediately grinned triumphantly.

"Hey, I'd tell you a chemistry joke, but I know I wouldn't get a reaction," he jested, watching her face the entire time.

Bonnie laughed, the sound filling the kitchen along with Kai's returning laughter. The spicy scent of garlic surrounded their smiles. But once Bonnie realized she'd gotten caught up in the moment, she summoned a blank expression and emptied the chopped vegetables into a bowl. Kai noticed her change in behavior.

"What's wrong, Bon, afraid I might realize you don't actually hate me?" he teased, but there was a hard edge to his voice.

"Nope, just worried you'd gut me once you saw that I finished chopping vegetables for you and I've lost my purpose," she countered.

Kai chuckled and furrowed his eyebrows. "Why would you think I'd do that? I'm making you dinner."

Bonnie turned towards him and crossed her arms over her chest, pursing her lips.

"I don't know," she shot back. "You haven't given me a good enough reason to trust you yet."

He sighed dramatically.

"Great, this again," he grumbled. "And what would you like me to do, Bon? You've already said that you want to get as far away from me as possible. Split the world in half, right? What's the point in me gaining your trust if you're not even gonna stick around?"

Bonnie bit her lip. This was her chance. It was now or never.

"Fine," she retorted. "Then what if I did wanna stick around, for argument's sake?"

Kai's eyes visibly brightened at her words, but he quickly tried to catch himself. He glanced at the floor and then back to her, wearing his usual annoying smirk.

"Well in that case, for argument's sake, I wouldn't be mad if you did."

"What would you be?" she asked quietly, her eyes never leaving his face.

His pupils dilated immediately. It made it harder to stand still, but Bonnie managed not to squirm under his darkened gaze.

Kai slowly took one tiny step forward.

And then another.

Then another.

He slowly let out a breath, his eyes flickering down to her lips and then back up to her eyes, scanning her face for a signal that he was about to cross a line.

She didn't flinch.

Kai must've assumed that was a good thing because he took another small step forward. Their toes were inches apart. Their chests were nearly touching. She could feel the warmth radiating off his t-shirt in waves.

She didn't breathe. She couldn't breathe. All the oxygen in the room felt like it'd been burned up by his fiery eyes.

His eyes were a flame, and she was a pool of gasoline.

Even if she could've found her voice in that moment, it wouldn't have mattered. Her mind was utterly blank. She forgot where she was and how she'd gotten there. She forgot that it was sunny outside, because all she could see was his dark eyes. She forgot that the room smelled like simmering garlic, because all she could smell was him. His scent, something that could only be described as both dangerous and erotic, completely took over her senses.

All she knew was how close his body was to hers.

All she heard was ringing in her ears and Kai's heavy breaths.

He was so close to her.

His eyes were black holes that she couldn't escape. And she realized with a sickening horror that in that moment, she didn't want to escape. She wanted to drown in the black pools of his eyes, and she knew that he'd dunk her head under the water just to make her suffer even more.

And yet even with that knowledge, she still didn't want to look away.

Kai's tongue slipped out from between his lips, sliding across his skin. His teeth followed, tugging his bottom lip into his mouth and sucking on it, then releasing it. Bonnie felt his hot breath graze her cheeks, her mouth, her neck, raising goose bumps across her entire body. Her shoulders rolled a bit as she shivered, but Kai didn't move away. He had a look of unshakable concentration, like he was solving an algebra equation. Except he was trying to solve her.

His eyes bored into hers, the corner of his lips barely turning up at the corner.

"I," he breathed in a whisper, "would be," he paused and glanced at her body, "very," he turned his blackened stare pointedly at her and said in a low voice, "very… satisfied."

Bonnie stared back, her mouth suddenly feeling dry and her knees feeling weak. What was her plan, again?

"So," he continued, "for argument's sake, what would you do if you stayed?"

What would you do if you stayed? His words sparked her memory and reminded her of her plan: To have him at her mercy.

What would you do if you stayed?

"This," she breathed. Kai was too stunned to move as Bonnie lurched forward, wrapping her hands around the back of his neck and pulling him down to her level. His lips parted in shock. Bonnie craned her head to the right and attached her lips to the skin just underneath of his jaw. She sucked roughly and tugged on his hair at the same time, bringing him even closer to her.

Kai was frozen for a second before letting out a loud, desperate moan. His eyebrows pulled together tightly, his entire face scrunched up, and eyelids slid shut. His hands hovered in the air at his sides for a moment then flailed a bit before flattening his palms on the countertop behind Bonnie. His elbows caged her body between him and the counter, forcing Bonnie to press her body tightly against his. Kai released a shaky breath at the feeling. If he didn't simply collapse from the sensation overload, he would be incredibly proud of himself.

Bonnie's tongue peeked out from between her lips and ran over the darkening mark she'd left on Kai's neck, causing him to shudder and let out a soft whimper.

"Bon. Bonnie," he panted.

She trailed the tip of her tongue and her lips from the mark she'd left below his jaw upwards to his cheekbone. Kai sucked in a breath and leaned into her touch, baring his neck to her.

It's working, Bonnie thought as she touched her lips to his earlobe, then grazed her teeth and tongue across it.

Kai hissed.

Bonnie grinned and did it again.

"Bonnie," he groaned, "what – "

"Shh," she whispered into his ear, "you have no idea how long I've wanted to do this."

Kai let out a breathless laugh. "That's," he tried to catch his breath. "That was – wow. Why did you – I don't – " he laughed shakily once, still in shock. His eyebrows furrowed in concentration as he tried desperately to put a sentence together.

"Not that I'm complaining or anything," he finally said in a breathless voice, "but you should warn me next time you're about to do something crazy."

His eyes were still shut so he couldn't see Bonnie's shrug.

"Ok," she replied, "here's your warning."

Kai peeked at her once and smirked, shutting his eyes as he said, "What are you gonna do to me now, my little – "

Just as he began to open his eyes again, Bonnie had already swung the cast-iron skillet at his head. He didn't have time to look shocked.

Kai dropped to the floor like a rock with a comically blank expression on his face, similar to the times she'd killed him or knocked him unconscious. Resorting to violence used to scare Bonnie, but being around Kai had completely changed her outlook on it. He completely deserved it, and she knew she wouldn't pity him when he awoke with a severe pounding headache.

She smirked at his unconscious body, still holding the cast-iron skillet, power still tingling in her fingertips. She was in control now, and she planned to use that to her complete advantage.

Setting the heavy pan back onto the countertop, Bonnie cocked her head at Kai's limp body. "It's a real shame you had an evil plan," she said with a smile. "I don't feel like picking you up off the floor."
