Imagine Bonnie never left Kai in the prison world. Instead, she goes to stab him, but changes her mind. What should have happened after?

TVD Imagine :

Ok, maybe I'm a little weird, but when people send me questions I end up writing a short imagine instead of answering.... So, here we go....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bonnie and Kai in 1903, searching for the ascendant.

_ No. They didn't hide the ascendant in a random pile of leaves....

He ponders a second.

_ We're not here to find the ascendant, are we ?

He hears Bonnie chuckle slightly behind his back.

_ Despite being a sociopathic murderer, I've always known you were pretty clever.

Kai turns around, now facing her. She's just pulled a knife out of her coat, staring at him with what he knows are murderous eyes. He watches her carefully, up and down, saving the image in his memory. Then, he extends his arms, confident.

_ Do it.

Bonnie gives him an incredulous look.

_ You're not gonna defend yourself ? Make up excuses about becoming a better man ? Find the ascendant and leave on your own ?

Kai lowers his arms, exhaling loudly.

_ Look, I know you hate me for stabbing you and leaving you for dead in 1994. But I thought maybe saving you from killing yourself would have earned me some points on the good side.

The revelation takes her by suprise.

_ Wait. What do you mean 'saving' me ?

Her murderous expression has been replaced with blatant confusion.

_ What part don't you understand ? You think that garage door just opened by itself ?

Bonnie's wide-eyed.

_ How do you....

She's too stunned to finish her sentence. How does he know ?

There's silence for a moment. Kai doesn't talk for once, he's waiting for her to realise.... After a while, Bonnie huffs to herself, disbelieving.

_ You're telling me that you opened that door ?

_ Well, technically, Jeremy did. But I was the one doing the spell so he could push that switch.

Bonnie's completely baffled. Her friends hadn't mentioned any of it. But that's Kai telling the story. That could be another one of his manipulation.

_ Let's say I believe you. Explain it to me, what happened.

Kai claps his hands, enthusiastic.

_ Ok, story time. Feels like these YouTube videos.

He slightly grins, though when he notices the look on Bonnie's face his smile quickly fades.

_ Damon and Elsa told me...

_ Elena.

He frowns a second, then remembers.

_ Oh. So, Damon and...her, they told me it was your birthday. I felt bad, so I decided to help them, and Jeremy, send you a message. You were about to drink that bottle of bourbon, but I lost connection. It required too much magic to handle four people on my own. Then I tried to send only Jeremy back. That's when it got messy.

_ What do you mean ?

_ You see, when I merged with Luke and he died, Liv was really upset about it. She came to kill me while I was doing the spell. We got in a little bit of a fight. I couldn't get myself to kill her. I was almost there but something just....

_ Kai.

He looks at her. She wears that "get to the point" expression on her face. Kai pauses a second.

_ Right.... Anyway, fight ends. I'm bleeding, like crazy. Jeremy still wants me to send him back. I'm basically dying at that point, but I'm feeling generous so I send us back to you. He follows you to the garage. Of course I follow him. After your "I'm too strong to let myself die" speech, the guy manages some ghosty shit to push the door switch and bam ! Bonster lives !

She's basically speechless. Still unsure of the truthfulness of his words, but that tale seemed too genuine to be a lie.

_ I almost died on a kitchen floor. I had Damon's blood in my mouth !

Kai makes a disgusted face.

_ I mean thanks bro, but not again-

_ What did I say ?

_ Huh ?

Kai's stopped in his rambling.

_ If all you say is true. What did I say in that video ?

_ Which part ? The one about 'going weeks without speaking' ? Or when you talk about missing restaurants ?

Bonnie can't believe it. He's saying the truth. He did come for her. And he nearly died doing so. There's no denying it....

_ I get your point about restaurant. Food tastes different when you're not the one making it. Although I like to cook.... Am I digressing again ?

In her amazement, she manages to roll her eyes at him.

_ Anyway, I did help saving you.

He wants to come closer but the knife in her hand holds him back. She finally speaks again.

_ It doesn't change what you did to me.

Kai stares at the ground, defeated, before looking back at her.

_ I know, and I'm sorry for all of that. I said I've changed. I cannot erase what I've done in the past.

They both stay silent for a while until Bonnie lets out a breath she's been holding for god knows how long. She pulls the knife back in her pocket.

_ So, you're giving me another chance ?

_ No. All you get is a pass. I let you live. When we get back home, you get the hell out of my life. For good.

He doesn't answer.

_ We gotta find the ascendant.

Bonnie walk past him, heading to the true location of the object.

Kai just nods, following her. She's not forgiving him. She's not giving him a chance. But she's changed her mind about ending his life. It means there's hope. That's the reason a smile grows on his face while he walks on the snow, following in her steps....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thoughts ? 🩷💀

So.... Maybe I should try to answer for real.

After that "I give you a pass" moment, I guess we get to the Salvatore mummy.

When they're all back home, Bonnie explains to Damon why she didn't ditch Kai there. Damon doesn't really care. He got what he wanted out of it anyway.

Kai sort of leaves them after, while still being close enough, his Bonnie obsession still in mind. He doesn't go to Portland. Not now. He can go on his conven slaughter plan later. I see him just enjoy little things. Going to the movies pretty much every day. Catching up on 2000's music he's missed.

On the other side, Lillian manages to get her bunch of Heretics back. I don't know how, don't ask, just accept it happens.

Then, I suspect it all goes wild as it did in season 7. Except they realise they could use some help (aka Kai). They can't admit it. Don't search for him. But I absolutely picture Kai showing up on his own at a doorstep one day with a proper "Miss me ?". He's aware of the shit that's been happening and decided to 'help'. Obviously it's not free. He wants another chance from Bonnie or whatever.

Anyway, he somehow becomes part of the gang. Like a guy you don't want around but know he's useful so you bear with his presence. Bonnie is absolutely not pleased by that but acknowledges his usefulness and later efforts in helping them.

Then the Heretics stuff, the Armory, Rayna Cruz....

Bonkai happens ? (And not Bonenzo, sad but we make a choice here). I don't know how but Kai must really get on her good side. Since she truly got traumatised by what happened in the prison world. Some important event has to occur for her to properly 'forgive' him. Saving people she loves. Saving her again. Just, sassy sociopath who merged with empathetic and loving Luke, now doing good ? And just Bonnie and Kai's magic working together with an upper connection would be Oh My GOD !!

Jo lives so does her twins. And Caroline has another story than being pregnant with another woman's magical babies. Alaric is happy with his wife and children. And maybe this will prevent him from doing some fucked up shit in Legacies (I didn't watch it but I've read some stuff).

Gemini coven ? They can't kill Kai otherwise they will all die themselves. There's a sort of truce ? You don't hurt us, we don't hurt you ? And hum, even Kai doesn't technically want Jo or Liv dead anymore, nor does the Luke part in him. Kai abandoned his desire to murder them all ?

Meaning we still got Liv and Tyler. I want them to be happy together. Liv is free from the merge. Tyler did not have to trigger the malediction by suffocating his girlfriend. They get the hell out of town and have a life of their own.

Maybe there'll be a little story line about ending the Gemini coven thing. They'll try to break the merge tradition shit in some sort of way. If Kai ever happens to have children he would never want them to go through what he did.

Btw, I want to see Kai with his siphon niece. He would be so good !

....

I don't know if it's a proper answer, but that's mine. So bear with it. 🙃😅

Also, spent all night writing this instead of sleeping.... It's 6:40 now....

Hey ! Anonymous person ! I hope it was alright, you enjoyed the short story and the answer I gave. 🤞💜
