Lethal Endearment~ a Kailena story

Chapter 1- Advanced Strategy

Disclaimer: I do not own anything the Vampire Diaries. Oh but if I did. ;)

A/N: The song is the one that was playing in the episode when Bonnie was crying when she had missed Damon and Elena. :'(

"I wanna thank you, for all your help

'Cause you on to me- you're on to me, I know

You tell me all the bad things I didn't know about myself

You're on to me, you're on to me I know.

Maybe I'm lost [x3]

But at least I'm looking..."

Finding Bonnie

"I've got it!" Damon and Elena heard Kai exclaim triumphantly from the other room. They had been having a "discussion" about how reliable Kai really was after he had agreed to help them.

By 'discussion', meaning Damon fiercely whispering while Elena stood there irritated at the fact that he wouldn't let her get a word in.

"The ascendant to work?" Damon questioned him as they made their way back into the room, a glimmer of hope traced in his voice.

"What? No, that's impossible to fix, but I have an idea." He replied somewhat enthusiastically.

"Great, just what we need an idea from a mad man." Damon spat sarcastically.

"Speaking of mad men. Some of the most brilliant people in the world were crazy- almost clinical. Shakespeare, Einstein- "

"What is it?" Elena interrupted earning a look from Damon.

"I know a spell that will allow us to go back to my prison world, but only for a certain amount of time." He explained.

"Long enough to find Bonnie?" She asked hopefully.

"Long enough to find Bonnie." He repeated, obviously proud of himself, in clarification causing a smile to appear on her face. She resisted the strange urge to hug him.

It was good news, something she hadn't hear in a while.

"So how does this so called spell work?" Damon asked suddenly breaking her out of her excitement filled daze.

"It's a simple spell, but I am going to need to channel enough energy from someone else- a power source of sorts."

"I'll do it." She offered quickly.

"What?" Damon asked eyeing her as if she had gone completely insane.

"I need to do this Damon. I need to tell Bonnie about Silas, so she can come home." She argued trying to convince him.

"Then let me do it." He disputed trying to dissuade her.

"No I have to know it's done, I'll go crazy waiting here for you two to come back." She attempted to explain to him.

"It could be dangerous."

"Are there any risks?" She asked turning back to Kai who had been looking back in forth between the pair in amusement.

"Physically? No." He answered, a bored tone visible in his voice.

"Yeah besides being in a prison world with an unpredictable and slightly unconventional psychopath."

"Wow Damon. You know it touches me that you know me so well." Kai smirked only irritating the vampire more.

"Look Damon, it's done. If this is what I have to do to save my best friend, there's nothing you can do to stop me." She told him obviously determined.
