A/N: Not sure if this will be a romance pairing or if they'll kill each other. Guess we'll find out soon.

Disclaimer: I own nothing except the idea that is bouncing around in my head.

Enjoy.

The light faded. The eclipse passed.

And Bonnie was left behind. Again.

'Damon...'

He was gone, he had made it. Hopefully by now he would be reunited with his brother, and Elena and everyone else that had surely missed him.

Hopefully he would be looking for a way to bring her back.

Bonnie had to hope, it was all she had left. Her last anchor to normality had just whooshed away in a flash of white light, breaking the ascendant into a dozen little pieces on his way out.

She lowered her gaze to the ruined device and groaned, silently wondering if there was any way to fix it again.

'Thanks a lot.'

Her head snapped her and she locked eyes with the reason for her failure to leave this Hell.

Kai.

She had forgotten all about him, managed to push him into the smallest corner of her mind, the only reminder of his existence being the large gaping hole in her chest, which was currently seeping blood like there was no tomorrow. Which in a way, there wasn't.

Pretending that his voice was merely an annoying side effect of being shot, Bonnie slowly pushed herself to her feet, swaying slightly as she struggled to regain some sort of balance.

Since when were there two Kai's?

'You have a twin? Why didn't you tell me?' She slurred, the hand on her chest drenched in her own blood.

'What?'

Again, she ignored him, a delirious laugh escaping her lips. 'This really is Hell, and I'm stuck here with you.'

She laughed once again and dropped to the floor, promptly blacking out.

When Bonnie woke up again she wasn't in the caverns, she wasn't even in pain any more. All she felt was warmth. Warmth and familiarity.

Maybe everything had just been one big nightmare.

She squinted at the room around her, taking everything in. It was still the boarding house, but it wasn't the room she was staying in when Damon had been here. This one was clean; there were none of her clothes lying around on the floor or any empty plates littering the night stand.

The question of how she got here popped into her mind at exactly the same time as the door opened, revealing the answer.

'Morning sleepyhead, thought I lost you there.'

Bonnie blinked, confused, before quickly placing one hand over her chest. The wound was no longer bleeding, in fact it had healed completely, leaving behind only a faint scar.

'What did you do?' She asked, staring at him with wide eyes. 'You can't do magic, you said so yourself.'

He shook his head. 'I can't, no. But I can steal it, remember? I just used your own magic to heal you.' He paced around the room, wearing jeans instead of shorts today. 'You've been unconscious for three days though, I thought I killed you.'

'And that's a bad thing?'

Kai spun around to face her again, his brows furrowed in that childlike way of his. 'As much as I want to kill you for attempting to kill me, I can't let that happen. See, this is a prison for me. I can't leave, no matter how many times I try and end myself. But you-' He took a step closer, '-you may be able to escape if you die.'

He laughed, running one hand through his short hair, 'I can't afford to let you leave. Sorry.'

Bonnie pushed herself into a sitting position and scowled, 'You're keeping me here just so that you don't get lonely?'

'Pretty much, and because I may want to kill you myself in the near future.' Flashing an angelic smile her way, he sauntered out of the room again, whistling a happy tune under his breath.

Bonnie stayed in bed for most of the day, mainly to avoid Kai and his unpredictable ways. It was nice and peaceful here, and for once she could freely think without Damon yammering on and on about stuff that she didn't care about. However she didn't like or trust Kai being out of view, the psychopath could be plotting anything downstairs, and with Damon gone, she couldn't do much about it. So, instead of avoiding him for the entire evening as well, she pushed back the covers, slipped on a dressing gown and padded downstairs.

The living room was empty, as was the kitchen.

'Maybe he's left.' She murmured to herself, grabbing a glass and pouring out some juice.

'No such luck, sorry.'

Spinning around and nearly dropping her glass in the process, Bonnie came face to face with an extremely smug looking Kai. He was holding a bag in one hand and she could just make out the words 'pork rinds' on one of the items inside.

'Aren't you sick of those things by now?' She growled, putting as much distance between her and him as possible. Something about him creeped her out and she didn't want to be any closer than necessary.

'You can never be bored of pork rinds.' He replied, pulling out three bagfuls of the things and placing them in a cupboard.

'Just make yourself at home,' She muttered, watching him closely.

'Oh, I will. Thanks.' He shot her a grin and strode off towards the couch, throwing himself onto it and sprawling out like a lazy cat.

'Can you fetch me a drink please, BonBon? You did say for me to make myself at home, after all.'

Bonnie growled and stalked over to where Kai was laying, one arm behind his head. 'Okay, first of all, don't call me BonBon, only Damon can do that. Secondly, I'm not your maid or slave, no matter what you may think. And thirdly, I'm going to find another way out of here, so I never have to see your annoyingly smug face again. Okay? Okay.'

Kai blinked. 'So that's no to a drink then?'

Clenching and unclenching her fists, Bonnie turned tail and stomped out of the room before she attempted to kill the nutjob for a second time.
