Alvina

*Chapter Seventy-One*

"Alvina, what are you doing?" Bonnie asks, hesitantly entering the room where Alvina and Katherine are.

"You know, Kai told me something that really stuck with me. If someone dies in this world, they come back the next day. There's no end. While that's very heartbreaking in Kai's story I couldn't help but to think of all the wrongs Katherine has done and further thought how one death wouldn't be satisfying enough,"

On the bed in front of Alvina lies Katherine. She's covered in sweat and her body flinches every couple of seconds. From the markings along Katherine's arms, it's clear that she's suffering from fairy toxin.

"You're torturing her," Bonnie whispers, slightly horrified. Alvina simply smirks sadistically as she watches the last breath leave Katherine's lips. "How many times has she died?"

"How many days have you and Kai been trying to get your magic back?" Alvina asks, finally taking her eyes off of Katherine.

Since Alvina and Kai have decided to be proactive in finding a way to get out, Kai has been working with Bonnie on unlocking her magic. It wasn't hard to come to the conclusion that Bonnie's sudden inability to do magic has to do with Alvina's mother.

Kai has been trying to help Bonnie but in... unconventional ways. Alvina's surprised Bonnie hasn't tried to kill Kai at this point. He puts madness into 'method of madness'. He's been driving Bonnie up a wall trying to get her to do something.

"How much longer are you going to do this to her?" Bonnie asks. Alvina stares at her for a moment.

"You two have bonded since we got here, haven't you?" Alvina asks, tilting her head. "Well, let's just put it this way. The sooner you get us out of here, the sooner her suffering ends. Let's call it motivation," Alvina states cold-heartedly. 

Alvina could see the discomfort in Bonnie's eyes. Bonnie rarely saw this side of Alvina. If she did, it wasn't like this. After everything, Bonnie is still so queasy over a little brutality.

"Bonnie, if you get through this life with your innocents and rainbow eyes intact, you'll have to author a how-to book. How to Survive the Supernatural World and Keep Your Sanity," Alvina teases and Bonnie rolls her eyes.

"I think it's normal for anybody to get uncomfortable around someone torturing someone else to literal death," Bonnie snips.

"Sure, it's normal," Alvina shrugs, approaching Bonnie. "If the person dying was innocent. Katherine's played nice these last few weeks because you and Kai are our ticket out of here. Don't forget all the horrible things she's done. She has sins to pay for and I'm more than willing to distribute the punishment,"

"And when we leave?" Bonnie asks.

"She won't have to worry about me for past actions," Alvina reassures her. "I'm not sure how much pull I have over Klaus at the moment, but I'll try to get him to give her a few years break. Possibly convince him to just not actively look for her,"

Bonnie sighs and looks back at Katherine. She's never seen Katherine look so exhausted. Her skin looks sunken in and despite being dead for the time being her body seems to still be in pain.

"If you're so worried about her, why don't you look after her for a while? I'll keep Kai distracted," Alvina states, winking at her. Bonnie moves to the side to let Alvina leave the room. "Oh, and I'd be careful around her when she wakes up. I don't think the two of you have bonded so much that she won't attack you when she wakes up. She'll be a little bit hungry," Alvina advises.

"Yeah, maybe it's better she has some time to herself," Bonnie mutters, leaving the room as well.

It wouldn't be for another couple of days until Bonnie's magic final breaks through the barrier that kept her contained. Kai had really set her off and she nearly set him on fire. If Alvina hadn't thought it was so funny she would have been angry with Bonnie for trying to set Kai on fire.
