Liv Parker & Bonnie Bennet
June 3rd - after Bonnie's breakdown
Blues Festival/Liv's apartment
Witches plot things
Mediumish/Complete |
Ever since she realized that Kai was here in the flesh, Liv felt like she was always on guard or watching her back. The threat of him trying to kill her again was always in the back of her mind. Her only consolation was knowing he didn't have his magic and couldn't appear out of thin air in front of her by using a privacy spell. He was still a vampire though, and that meant he wasn't completely neutered. The blues fest was going on for the day, and so Liv tried to occupy her mind by getting out and exploring Atlantis. Meet new people and see what this place had to offer. She was actually enjoying herself when there was a tickling on the back of her neck and then suddenly there was a loud ringing in her ears that caused her to fall to her knees. There was a loud commotion not far from her. People had fallen back on the ground and she could hear a scream and cry of grief. Bonnie. She was crying out Enzo’s name. Rushing over to her, Liv didn't really know exactly what had happened, but she didn't see Enzo anywhere. Had he disappeared? “Bonnie,” she said and took the other girl by her shoulders. “Bonnie, look at me.” She still seemed rattled and upset, so Liv took her hand and cast a privacy spell on the two of them. “Let's go.” She led Bonnie back towards the towers and up to her room. Enzo’s room too as a matter of fact, but if he disappeared then she wasn't sure what they'd find in his bedroom. Liv didn't know how these disappearances really worked yet. Once they were safely in the apartment, the privacy spell was lifted and she tried to get Bonnie to sit down. “Are you okay?” Blinking, Bonnie looked up at her friend and fellow witch as she slowly came out of the fog she’d been in for the last several moments. When Enzo had disappeared, she’d heard herself screaming his name, she’d felt the blast of power, but it had almost been like it was someone else, like she was outside of all of it. Looking around now, she realized she was away from the festival, in the apartment Enzo and Liv shared. Had shared. All of the little Enzo touches had vanished, which only served to confirm he was gone without the need to look at any alerts. “I don’t know,” she answered, moments later as she belatedly realized Liv had asked her a question. She didn’t think anything could feel as bad as watching Stefan rip out Enzo’s heart had, but losing him a second time had hurt just as much. It was like him dying all over again, only this time there was no preserving him in a pocket reality where she could still see and touch him. He was just gone. Asking if she had been okay had probably been a stupid question, but Liv didn’t know what else to ask. Her main concern was getting her out of there before she could accidentally hurt someone else. Bringing her back to the apartment was probably equally as stupid, but it wasn’t like Liv had much of a choice who they’d roomed her with when she first got here. If they had, she would have picked someone else anyway. She went into the kitchen and filled up a glass of water to bring back to Bonnie. She sat down next to her and tried to think what she could do to help. “He could come back. They say people here leave and come back all the time.” “Like I did,” Bonnie said, nodding her head as she took the cup. A part of her wished it was full of something a hell of a lot stronger than water, but it helped to have something to hold in her hands. “He won’t remember,” she added, more to herself than to Liv as she looked up. “I didn’t remember being here before, but they said I was here for months.” He’d still remember her, but he wouldn’t remember Atlantis and that was even if he came back at all. “Maybe, maybe not, but he’d still remember you. That’s what matters, right?” Liv knew she was absolute shit at the whole comforting thing. She didn’t know what to say to the other witch, and she didn’t want to give her false hope on him coming back. “I don’t really know how this place works or at what point they decide to toss those coins at us, but I’m proof that it can be from anytime.” Even if it was right before she was supposed to die. What she didn’t understand, though, was how they kept certain people around when others were sent home when they didn’t ask to go back. People like her sociopath brother Kai. How was he still here, and why did some people seem to actually trust him? If it were her, Liv knew that she probably would have needed some kind of distraction. Something to channel her energy into before having another outburst, so she stood up without much of a word and disappeared into her bedroom only to return with an object about the size of her palm but was covered by a small towel. Once she was seated again, she held out the trinket for Bonnie to see and took off the cover. “It’s broken,” she said about the ascendant. “But it looks better than when I first got here.” Bonnie reached for the ascendant, taking it gingerly in her hands. “It wouldn’t be the first time I fixed a broken ascendant,” she said confidently, knowing she could make it work. Hell, she hadn’t even needed one to send Kai packing the last time. Just a lot of power and a pair of Gemini twins. The ascendant made things simpler in terms of the power needed, but it also gave Kai a way out if he manage to find the magic to use it. “These people are crazy for letting him stick around,” she added. She didn’t understand how or why he was here and it seemed really, really unfair that Kai was here when Enzo was gone. “Someone has to do something, before he hurts someone.” Liv smiled. She knew that with Bonnie’s help, they’d both be able to fix it and send Kai back to the hell he crawled out of. Well, his own personal hell. Maybe not the actual hell he’d come back from. Either would work as long as he was away from here. “I don’t understand how he’s here walking around freely when he’s been so loud and proud about the things he’s done. The shrink he’s been seeing? Do you know anything about her? They seem to have this weird friendship where she actually seems to like him. But you’re right. Someone has to do something, and since it looks everyone else thinks being a sociopath is adorable, those someones are the two of us.” Liv didn’t care what they did to her after it was done as long as he was gone. That was something they could agree on, but Bonnie shook her head when Liv questioned her. “I haven’t been here much longer than you have,” she admitted. “They told me I was here before, but I don’t remember that. I’m still trying to figure things out, especially how the hell Kai ended up with actual friends.” It was up to them, she figured, to make sure he couldn’t hurt anyone again. Maybe they’d get in trouble, maybe Atlantis would send her home, but it would be worth it. It wasn’t like she had a real reason to stay with Enzo gone, anyway. “They probably don't believe half of what really happened. Or they're just as crazy themselves. Who knows. But it won't matter soon because we're going to make sure he doesn't come back this time.” She just hoped they could follow through with that promise. He'd already come back so many times. He was like a bad penny. He kept showing back up again and again. Each time he came back though, Liv would work to make sure he was sent away all over again. |
