Bonnie was tired of it.

She was tired of his face. His voice. His everything.

She was tired of him talking to her. Talking to Damon. Joining them at the breakfast table like they were some kind of friends.

She was just so fucking tired of –

"Hey there Bonnie, fancy seeing you here," Kai said as cheerful as ever.

Bonnie rolled her eyes, focusing all her attention on the bowl of cereal in front of her.

Kai didn't seem put off by her lack of interest, instead he took a seat opposite of her with his own bowl.

"Did you sleep well?" he asked her.

She glared at his hand when he reached for the cereal box and then proceeded to ignore him.

"I did," he continued. "Had some lovely dreams as well, the memory of your hand on my chest… Did you dream of me?"

He winked with the spoon in his mouth and Bonnie considered pushing it down his throat. "If I did, you would've heard me screaming." She had meant it as an insult, but as soon as the words left her mouth she knew she had made the wrong choice.

"You're a screamer, huh? Figured as much," Kai said smirking.

Bonnie sighed long and deep, getting up and walking away from him, almost running into Damon when he entered the kitchen. "Wow, what's the hurry? That clown bothering you again?" the vampire asked.

"Always," she said between her teeth, knowing that Kai must've been proud of himself beyond words.

She thought about the best way to get back at him. Nothing she said seemed to bother him, not in the same way it bothered her. Even Damon didn't see as affected by Kai and his stupid face as she did.

Maybe she should also start drinking.

Bonnie was lost in her own thoughts, hands deep in soapy water as she cleaned the dishes and trying once again not pay attention to Kai who was currently eating.

Because what else would he be doing?

Even though his toast was pretty much soaked through with jam, he still kept putting his fingers in the jar to get more of it.

Bonnie's mouth curled in disgust, reminding herself to never eat from an already opened jar that she found in this house.

Kai sucked his fingers into his mouth, smearing jam all over his lips in the process.

He took the fingers out, and Bonnie had to quickly turn away when he looked at her. "What?"

"What?" she repeated angry.

"Why were you staring at me?"

"I wasn't staring."

"Very mature, Bon-Bon" Kai said in a childish mocking tone, which was ironic.

Bonnie dropped the plate she was holding back into the sink, her hand pointing into Kai's general direction and a kitchen towel flew right past him.

He had dodged it just in time, followed by his gleeful laugh, which made Bonnie boil with rage.

"A towel, Bonnie? Really?"

She walked towards him now, muttering curse words to herself as she bent down to pick it up.

She couldn't match him with magic.

Couldn't match him with words.

How could she get a rise out of someone when she practically knew nothing about him?

He's a sociopath. He likes to eat, and annoy her. He also murdered his siblings. And he's been trapped here alone for years and…

"Bon? What are you doing?" he asked, not the least bit threatened when she came up behind him with the towel tightly in her hands. "Gonna choke me to death? Hate to disappoint you, but I've already tried that and for the record -"

He finally stopped talking when Bonnie wrapped the kitchen cloth around his head, shielding his eyes in the process. To her surprise, Kai didn't throw her off or push the blindfold away. Like it didn't really matter what she tried to do, he would win anyway and it made her furious.

"Remember when you mentioned that you liked my hand on your chest?"

Her lips were inches away from his ear and she could hear him inhale sharply. Bonnie then proceeded to lean into him from behind, her hands gliding down the expanse of his chest. She didn't dare to say anything else, waiting for Kai to do so but he kept quiet.

Bonnie enjoyed this immensely. Pushing him to the limit. Use the only power she had over him. As powerful and clever as Malachai Parker thought he was, at the end of the day he was still just a lonely boy.

Her breasts were pressed into his back, fingernails dangerously close to the waistband of his jeans and Kai couldn't suppress a moan.

Bonne flushed, she wasn't sure if it was because of his reaction to her or if it was all the power she had over him, but something about it really made her skin tingle with excitement.

She opened her mouth to say something and her lips accidentally brushed his ear. Kai grabbed her wrists then, holding them down against him and Bonnie jumped lightly in surprise expecting him to suck out her magic. But he didn't.

He just turned his head towards her, his nose lightly bumping into hers and Bonnie was panicking at this point, nervous and scared about what he would do now that he had her pressed right against him.

She tried to stand her ground, not shrinking away from him, not as if he was able to see her through the blindfold anyway.

But she made the stupid mistake of glancing down at his mouth, a faint hint of red jam still evident on his full bottom lip. And it was calling out for her to taste.

That was the moment Damon decided to walk into the kitchen.

Their heads turned into the vampire's direction and Kai immediately released Bonnie's wrists so she could step away from him.

"What the hell is going on here?" Damon asked, not too sure on what he just witnessed.

Kai pushed his makeshift blindfold up over his head and smirked while Bonnie just walked past Damon without another word, hoping her blushing cheeks didn't reveal too much.

Damon did ask her about it later, sharing his 'concerns' or whatever. But Bonnie brushed him of, telling him that she knew what she was doing.

Which in truth wasn't the case. She had no idea what she was getting into and what game she and Kai were playing at. The only thing she was certain of is that she wasn't going to quit, she wasn't going to let him win.

Another week of failed attempts to escape his prison made Kai even more unbearable than he already was.

Besides the usual lurking around and making crude comments he also developed a habit for dragging either Bonnie or Damon into the woods with him to go look for the spot where the power of the eclipse would be focused.

And today was Bonnie's turn.

She made sure to keep a distance between her and Kai at all times, her eyes never leaving his back just in case he tried something.

He hadn't mentioned anything about what had happened between them and she had a feeling that he might now that they were all alone together.

"We've been through here already, I don't think we'll find it like this," Bonnie pointed out.

Kai stopped midway. "Yeah, you're right."

He then walked over to a nearby tree and sat down on the grass, crossing his legs with his back leaned into it.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm just going to try and feel the energy of eclipse, see if something points me to the right direction."

He held up the ascendant into the sun, studying it and Bonnie crossed her arms glancing around, waiting for something to happen.

"I don't think that -"

When she looked back Kai wasn't sitting underneath the tree any longer. He was gone.

"Kai?"

Shit. There was no point in leaving her here. Bonnie knew he wasn't planning to kill her, not when he still needed her to get out.

"Come out, you asshole! I know you're still here!"

All she had to do was take a few steps towards the place he disappeared from and she was shoved into the tree, a hand on her mouth and another holding her in place.

"You think you can pull shit like that and it won't have consequences?" Kai breathed into her neck.

Bonnie panicked, biting his hand on instinct and he let her go, disappearing into thin air once again. She spun around, her back defensively against the tree before getting out the pocketknife she had taken with her.

But Kai was quick to appear in front of her again, his fingers tangling with hers, forcefully tugging the knife out of her grip. "You have to be careful Bon-Bon, you could hurt yourself."

He was holding her tightly against him, no way to run, and he was getting close to prying the knife out of her hand. Her last defense.

He might hurt her. Stab her. As revenge or just as a warning.

"I could cut you open right here and no one would hear you scream," he threatened.

The moment the knife slipped out from between her fingers Bonnie rose on her toes, angling her face upwards and planting her lips onto his.

The knife was long forgotten, dropped into the grass and the thought that this was one huge mistake did cross Bonnie's mind.

Especially when Kai pulled away from her, his lips shining with her spit and somehow it gave Bonnie back her confidence.

"What? Are you scared now?" she mocked him. "Scared of a girl kissing you?"

He didn't respond, only lightly raised his head to intimidate her, show her who she was dealing with. But Bonnie didn't care anymore.

"You know what? I actually think that might've been your first real kiss; can't imagine any sane girl ever wanting to come near you, let alone touch you."

Kai smiled devilishly, leaning into her space. "And what does that make you?"

"You should watch out, Kai. I might be just as insane as you are."

She didn't get to say anything else before he crashed his mouth back onto hers, his body pinning her to the tree.

His lips were surprisingly soft but persistent as he used them to pry her mouth open further. Bonnie obliged, slipping her tongue in first to get the upper hand.

Never in a million years could she have predicted that kissing him would feel that good. Would make her as drunk with lust and desire, would make her want to destroy him. Kill him. Fuck him.

He swallowed down her heavy moan and rolled his hips into hers, his ridiculous shorts doing nothing to conceal how hard he was.

Bonnie in return, dragged her sharp nails down the plain expanse of his back and he groaned, kissing the corner of her swollen mouth.

His leg was placed in between hers, and he used it to pry her thighs further apart. Bonnie couldn't stop herself from grinding against his leg, not when she was already so wet and eager to finish.

"Tell me you want it, Bonnie…" Kai whispered in between forceful kisses. "No need to lie, I can taste it."

She threw her head back, baring her neck for him in the process, letting him suck bruises and mark her with his teeth and tongue.

"Maybe…" she moaned quietly, mostly to herself.

Her hips stuttered on their own accord, just when Kai dragged his hand upwards to fondle her through her shirt and it was all over way too soon. Bonnie bit into his shoulder, trying to conceal her sobs when she came against his thigh.

For just a moment everything felt incredible. As if the magic was coursing through her, every vein in her body was tingling.

Until she felt the piercing pain of Kai draining her, and she was pulled back into the harsh reality. He was stealing her magic, leaving her aching and empty.

"No. Don't…"

But he was too far gone to hear her.

"Please…Kai, stop!"

Bonnie had to use the last sliver of magic that was left in her to shove him backwards onto the ground.

She ran in the opposite direction, never hearing his footsteps follow her.

The worst thing was that he even tried to apologize for it afterwards.

"I'm sorry. It was an accident."

"And accident? Really? Last time I checked it's not called an accident when the person who's magic you're stealing yells at you to stop!"

"I didn't even know I was doing it until you pushed me," Kai told her. "In case you didn't notice, I was kind of preoccupied at that moment."

Kai's long fingers graced her throat and Bonnie felt her face heat up in shame when she remembered he had marked her there.

"You're disgusting!" She slapped his hand away.

"Yeah, I didn't hear you complain when you were grinding against me," Kai said, his voice too soft and deep to be resentful.

Bonnie shook her head, green eyes ablaze with rage when Kai stepped in front of her, not allowing her to leave the room.

"Get away from me," she said through her teeth.

"Come on, Bonnie. Just let me make it up to you, it was an accident, I swear."

"Kai," his name on her lips sounded like a warning. But Kai didn't seem to care. Not even when the flames in the fireplace behind her, seemed to have reached a new high.

"Get out of my way!"

"Bonnie…"

That was it, Bonnie held up her arms towards him and just like that Kai was forced to his knees, with his own hands pressed tight against his head.

His mouth was open in a raspy scream.

Bonnie stepped back, shocked by her own strength but rather pleased with herself.

"How does that feel, asshole?"

Kai looked up at her, a smile on his handsome face. "Just wish you would've kissed me first, then we would be even."

"You think this is a joke?" Bonnie asked, outraged.

"I've been reliving the same day for over 18 years now, Bon. Everything is a joke to me."

After Bonnie had send Damon back into the real world, all had turned for the worse. She and Kai were now both trapped in this prison, what would seem like for an eternity.

Especially after Bonnie had send her magic away as well.

"So I guess, since we're stuck here forever, thanks to you," Kai said nodding towards Bonnie. "We should probably learn to get along, who knows, in time we might be able to find a way out of here."

"As tempting as getting rid of you sounds right about now, I'm not willing to let you run free so you can kill people."

"Not even if it means you'll be stuck here with me?"

"No."

Kai grinned wide and it made her feel uneasy, the wound in her lower abdomen now more present than ever. "Always the martyr."

Bonnie looked down on the bed she was sitting on, medical supplies scattered along it, as she waited for him to leave so she could change her patch.

"Come on, Bon. Years of loneliness, solitude. It will get to you, believe me."

"Anything better than 'getting along' with you," she said under her breath. "You shot an arrow into me, Kai."

"Well, not to go all kinder garden on you but you did stab me with a pickaxe first, not to mention that you also stabbed me in the neck after that."

"It didn't kill you, did it? You didn't even get hurt."

"You couldn't know that, and it did sting like a bitch -"

"Enough!" Bonnie yelled, getting up off the bed. "Get out of my room and leave me the hell alone! Before I stab you with something again, and this time I'll make sure you wake up at the bottom of a lake."

Kai raised his hands in makeshift defeat, before exiting the room.

Bonnie rose from her sleep, her head still cloudy after she had taken a few pills to help her ease her pain.

Her eyes were not used to the dark yet, and she blinked a few times trying to get accustomed to it.

She froze when she felt his breath on her neck, reminding her of the time that he had cornered her in Damon's car.

She stirred to get up but her gently pulled at her sleeve. "Please, I just want to talk to you."

"I have nothing to say to you," Bonnie whispered back, and it was easier not seeing his face. It made it harder to be mad at him when she couldn't actually see him, perhaps the reason he chose to approach her in this way.

"But I do," he said. "I'm sorry."

"What?" Bonnie almost turned to him then, figuring she must've heard him wrong. "If you think that you can win my trust by -"

"That's not why I'm telling you this. Just hear me out. I know you hate me, and I deserve it after everything that I've put you through."

Bonnie hummed in agreement after that statement.

"And…I'm sorry, Bonnie."

Aside from his previous rants about his family and coven, this was the most sincere Kai had ever sounded to Bonnie. Or maybe it were the pills and her wounds that were confusing her.

Kai hesitated for a moment, most likely contemplating on whether he should continue or not. Bonnie didn't respond so he continued; "I was terrified that I would be left all alone here once again, and to be honest, I don't think I would've been able to handle that a second time."

Bonnie felt him move even closer to her. "I acknowledge that I've developed some bad manners, years in confinement will do that to you."

Bonnie felt herself doze off, she didn't have the strength to say something in return so she didn't.

She fell asleep to the sound of his steady breathing.

When Bonnie opened her eyes again, there was light blinding her and strong hands holding her. She was unsure of where she was for just a second before remembering the day before.

She immediately jumped out of bed.

Kai didn't wake up. He shifted on the bed, his hand resting on the place where Bonnie had been before.

With his disheveled hair and in his unconscious state, he looked so young and innocent. Even the word 'cute' came to mind, before Bonnie forced herself to leave the room. The warmth of his body against her back, burned into her mind.

She didn't speak to him for the rest of the day, ignoring his pleading looks and attempts to capture her attention. She spent most of the time locked up in her room (after he had finally left) and only came downstairs to read a book because she needed a change of space.

"Still not talking to me?"

Bonnie saw him come down the stairs from the corner of her eye but she didn't look up from her book.

"I don't get it. I thought we had a moment last night, Bon?"

He sounded frustrated. Good.

"Yeah, right," she scoffed.

Her book was then pulled out of her hands, and thrown across the other side of the room.

"What else do you want me to do?!"

He was really mad now. Mad in a desperate kind of way. But so was she.

"What I want you to do? I want you to leave! I want to never see your face again!"

Bonnie practically jumped off the couch, cornering him in front of the fireplace. "You think you can invade my personal space when I'm injured and on medication, talk some bullshit to me and everything will be fine?! Fuck off, Kai!"

His eyes widened slightly. "Alright," he said. "You're right. I don't know how to fix this. I just know that I hurt you, so here…"

He sat in the armchair next to the fireplace, making a show of holding up his hands before placing them on the arms of the chair.

"…Tie me up. Torture me. Starve me, do whatever it takes to get even."

"Are you insane?" Bonnie was stunned, out of all the things she expected him to do, this might've been the last one.

"Well, technically speaking…"

"Shut up," she said. "You want me to tie you to that chair? For real?"

"Well, yeah. Don't act like you haven't done it before, you would've even watched Damon torture me."

"No, I wouldn't."

Kai smiled at her, shaking his head. "Yeah, I know. You're too good for that. That's why I'm doing this willingly. No hard feelings."

Bonnie sniffed, her arms crossed. Kai didn't move, his handsome features only accentuated by the flames of the fireplace.

"Fine," Bonnie said after a long pause. "If that's what you want."

"It is," Kai said way too happy when Bonnie left and came back with the same duct tape that her and Damon had used the first time they had Kai in that chair.

She efficiently taped his arms to the chair, feeling him watch her all the while doing it.

He tapped his fingers when she was done, smirking up at her. "So, what now?"

Bonnie remembered a particular event that had happened in the kitchen and she left again, only to come back with a scarf this time. Without any explanation she tied the scarf around Kai's head, effectively blindfolding him.

"You know," his tone was low and teasing. "This is starting to get a bit kinky."

Bonnie rolled her eyes, rejoicing in the fact that he couldn't see her.

"Bon? Are you still -" Kai stopped mid-sentence when he felt the cold metal of a knife pressed against his throat.

"Now, what did you say, that day we were alone in the woods?"

She tightened the hold on the knife, leaning into him from behind so her face was on the same level as his. "Oh, right…I could cut you open right here and no one would hear you scream."

"You could," he said, tilting his head back for her. "I'm not resisting."

"You'd like that, wouldn't you?" she sneered. "To turn me into a monster like you."

Kai laughed, the knife at his neck dangerously close to cutting him. "Everyone has a bit of monster in them, Bonnie. Some are just better at hiding it."

"And some don't even bother."

"What can I say? I've always been told honesty is the best policy."

Bonnie stepped away from him, there was really no point in threatening him like that. He had willingly put himself in this position, he knew she would never dare to do something he couldn't handle.

Bonnie didn't give her time to think things over before she crawled into his lap without a warning.

She heard his breath hitch, trying to say something and instead it coming out as a cough. "Bon?"

She held the knife at his throat again, this time with her legs spread on top of him which felt so much more intimate.

His tongue came out to lick his dry lips and Bonnie reveled that she had such power over him. He was obviously nervous now, and she pressed the knife deeper into his pale skin.

"Is this what you wanted, Kai?" she asked him, her free left hand closing around the lower part of his neck, underneath the knife.

It was an imitation of the way he had almost choked her in Damon's car when she had tried to get away from him.

Bonnie pressed her cheek against his in another mock imitation of that encounter.

"Shhhhh," she breathed into his ear just like he had done and Kai groaned low in his throat.

He shifted in the chair, his jeans clad thighs dragging against hers.

"Does that turn you on?" Bonnie asked sweetly.

She wriggled up against him, and his mouth opened in a silent gasp.

"Does that get you hard, Kai?"

She noticed his nails digging into the leather of the chair, frustrated that he couldn't stop her. Couldn't do anything, but sit there and take it. Feeling helpless.

"Bonnie," he sounded hoarse, like it psychically pained him to speak. "If you don't take this tape off right now…"

Bonnie laughed at him. "Poor Malachai, are you not enjoying this game anymore? Why? It was your idea remember. I could do whatever I wanted to you. And I intend to."

She started moving her hips in an agonizingly slow rhythm. "Do you even remember how good it feels?"

They were so close now that all she had to do was lean forward a few inches and she would be able to taste him.

Taste his desperation.

"How good it feels to have someone touch you?" Bonnie said in between soft moans. Fuck, did it feel good.

"I know you want it," she continued mercilessly. Pretty much bouncing shamelessly in his lap now. "I know you want me to release you, so you can fuck me."

"Yes," he whimpered sweetly, just loud enough for her to hear through their mutual panting.

"But I'm not going to," she said. "And you can't do shit about it."

He was about to say something back but she cut him off by kissing him. She dropped the knife she held onto the floor and released his throat, her hands working themselves into his dark hair.

Her tongue licked every inch of that stupid, agitating and beautiful mouth of his. She wanted to free his hands. To feel them slip underneath her clothes, to have those long fingers bring her pleasure.

"Bon…" She didn't hear him. Didn't want to hear him. All she wanted was to take. She clutched his face in between the palms of her hands, sucking his plump bottom lip into her mouth and biting into it. "Bon – Bonnie, fuck - I'm gonna…"

Bonnie fell back in his lap, scooting backwards as far as possible. Her eyes widened in realization, at the boy underneath her. She had to catch her breath, her pulse racing and she was throbbing in between her legs.

She had the privilege of looking him up and down, without him knowing about it, since his sight was still obscured by the scarf around his head.

His cheeks were a stark reddish color that matched his abused lips, and his hair was a mess. Bonnie bit her own lip, trying to not make a sound as her hand disappeared beneath her jeans.

He was still gasping for air, occasionally letting out a few soft groans like a wounded animal. She touched herself to the tune, her breath hitching in her throat at the sight of him, so hard and needy for her.

Bonnie didn't need much, she was already soaking wet, just two of her fingers gliding along her clit were enough to set her off.

The last thing she saw before closing her eyes in bliss was the red line on his neck, the one she had left by pressing a knife to it. Bonnie came with a high moan, her hips moving lazily against her hand.

"Bonnie…"

The way he said her name just after made her shiver in delight, and as she removed her fingers she once again longed for them to be his.

Bonnie took a moment, easing her breath, trying to get herself back together. She wiped her hand on her jeans and made her way out of his lap. "So, you're just going to leave me like this?"

Bonnie contemplated if she should. He certainly made a pretty picture like that. "I guess I am," she said.

Kai laughed breathlessly. "Great, you had your fun. Now it's my turn."

She smirked, walking up behind him and leaning forward to plant a kiss on his cheek. Kai jerked lightly in his seat.

"I'm counting on it," she sneered before walking out of the room.
