"Can you just answer the damn question?" I practically begged Kai as he continued to ignore me and blabber on about things nobody cared about.

"Yeah, how the hell do we get out of this twilight zone?" Damon glared as he poured himself another drink.

"I have a question for you." Kai looked towards Damon. "Why do you think we're stuck on a repeating loop of May 10th, 1994 doomed to relive a solar eclipse forever and ever?"

Damon frowned, shaking his head. "How the hell should I know?"

"Well... I heard you tell Bonnie and Ellie this is your own hell. I'm kind of curious why." Kai continued to pester Damon, causing him to roll his eyes.

"I found everything you asked for!" Bonnie announced walking into the large parlour. "I got the can opener, shower drain, grinding wheel, jam, pocket knife, volume O of the encyclopaedia, a nail and a black marker... Now what?"

"Can't show you with my hands taped." Kai told us as he wriggled his hands around.

I quickly made my way over to him ripping the tape off his hands, setting him free. "Okay so how is this pile of crap going to get us out of here?"

Kai sighed as he raised his eyebrow. "I'll explain as soon as Damon tells me what he did on May 10th 1994."

"What difference does it make?" Damon argued, becoming rather annoyed with the situation.

"Okay, I have some things to do." I announced grabbing my jacket. "When I come back we better have a way out of here or I will rip your head off."

"Shame eating?" Damon questioned as he walked into the kitchen, where Bonnie and I were.

"Thinking about that pregnant lady... She had a thing for pancakes." Bonnie sighed as she continued to eat.

A lot happened while I was away. Damon told Bonnie and Kai how on this day, many years ago he killed a pregnant lady and that is why he thought this was his hell.

Kai also told us that Bonnie needed to do a spell, whilst using an ascendant and harnessing the power from the eclipse to get us out of here. However, Bonnie decided not to do so. She discovered that Kai was from a coven of witches, although he had no powers. Kai murdered almost his entire family and wanted out to finish the rest. Bonnie being the good person that she is, won't allow him to leave since this prison world was made to keep him locked up forever.

And so, here I find myself trapped with my brother, an annoying witch... who I oddly liked and a serial killer.

"That's what you remember?" Damon questioned Bonnie about her previous statement.

"You remember it... Don't you?" Bonnie quickly asked back. "You make pancakes everyday."

"Because I'm bored." Damon answered back, as he took a sip of his bourbon.

"No..." Bonnie raised her eyebrow. "It's because you're punishing yourself. You called this place your hell. That means you feel remorse... That's what makes you different than Kai. That means there's hope for you."

I couldn't help but smile at Bonnie's words. She could be harsh and stubborn, but she was also sweet and willing to help people who she thought deserved it.

"Look guys we can still get out of here." I spoke up, grabbing my glass of bourbon. "We can steal that ascendant contraption, find out what Kai knows and we'll ditch him. He doesn't even have any powers."

"Actually it's not that simple." Kai spoke up from the doorway, causing me to jump.

"You gotta stop doing that, it's creepy." Damon quickly gave Kai an annoyed look.

"Here's the thing!" Kai began speaking as he walked further into the kitchen. "I have a peculiar effect on magic. I cant generate it myself. But I can consume it from others... temporarily." He continued to tell us as he walked over to Bonnie. "My family called me an abomination, that hurt my feelings."

Bonnie let out a scream of pain as Kai latched onto her arm, syphoning her magic.

Damon and I went to rush at Kai and help Bonnie, but he quickly stopped us as he used his magic to send pain, shooting through our bodies.

I fell to the ground, clutching my head in pain.

"Okay! We get it!" Bonnie screamed in pain as Kai continued to hurt us.

"You can see why my coven and I didn't get along." Kai smiled as he stopped hurting us and let go of Bonnie.

"I smell an ultimatum." Damon groaned as he stood up.

"If I consume all of Bonnies magic, I'm just gonna end up killing her." Kai laughed and I glared. "But if we work together, we can all go home as friends. Or I can devour her magic, kill you both and go home alone... So, what's it gonna be?"
