Hey guys, this is the sequel to Petrova Fire. I just couldn't let it be. I did consider it though, thought you might not love it enough to continue reading. This will explore not only Kalijah but my Klaus/OC coupling that I might be a little addicted to writing about. This will be centered around Katherine/Elijah (because lets face it, I'm super in love with them... and Daniel Gillies)

Extinguished Flame

1. I Found A Way

Elizabeth was staring at Klaus, and Klaus was standing over Maddox's body, blood dripping from his mouth still and growling slightly. "Come on Niklaus!" Elizabeth noted, taking a step away from the wall and yet not really towards him.

She had never really been scared of Niklaus, but she knew he was dangerous, especially since he was this ticked off. "Now you get to do it allll over again" she said, trying to cheer him up, although she'd really doubted it would work. Especially since she wasn't entirely sure that Elena had survived, though from what Elijah had said, she had found a way.

Klaus turned to glare at her a little, forcing Elizabeth's smile to broaden "Stop being so grumpy darling" she said, taking another step around the room, this one angled slightly more in his direction. Klaus's face relaxed a little when she said 'darling' although not much, he was still fuming. A sight with Elizabeth had to admit, was kind of a turn on. Klaus and her had always been special friends, like real special friends.

He made her laugh and he trusted her, which apparently was a rare thing. Elizabeth had earned his trust, she'd spent years helping him follow Tatia's bloodline for him and eventually track down Katerina. And it was also her that tipped him off about Katerina having a baby.


Klaus looked at her for a long time, he could practically feel the waves of anger radiating off of him. Katerina was not dead, Maddox had protected her. Now he had no witch, no doppelgänger and no vampire.

Klaus turned away and went to find a stake from in the history teachers draw, the second Elizabeth saw it her face turned cautious and she took several steps back, pressing herself against the wall. How she could even think he'd use it on her was astounding.

She was the one person in the world he didn't want to kill. Elizabeth had always been there in the moments that mattered most to Klaus. She was there when everything decent was happening to him, and even when the bad things were happening. She was reliable and she was the only vampire Klaus didn't regret turning.

Flashback – When Klaus met Elizabeth

Klaus was walking down the streets of London, completely bored and yet mildly entertained at the sounds he could hear coming from upstairs of the building that was beside him, he looked up as the man's grunting continued.

He couldn't hear anything from his female companion, which made him think that perhaps the man was alone. Klaus continued walking but several minutes later he found himself back at the same house, the grunting had stopped but there was yelling now.

A girl was yelling, screaming at him about money and it was then that Klaus realised that this intimacy he had stumbled upon was an act of prostitution and nothing more than that. He smirked a little and then he heard the door and looked to see a woman coming out of it, wearing a beautiful dress which showed her bust nicely.

His eyes gazed over her entire body, her clear as ice blue eyes and her frizzed and yet completely incredible long blonde curls which reminded Klaus of the lions manes he saw. She was skinny and her breasts where a rather appropriate size and were visible at the top of her dress which flowed easily over her hips and caressed her waist perfectly. Her skin was perfection and she smelled of apricots and roses.

Klaus must have been staring because she smiled at him sweetly "Looking for some fun?" she asked him, tilting her head to the side. Klaus smirked a little and nodded, offering her his hand. She looked at it for a long time, as if she was deciding whether to take it or not, she did take it though and he lead her back to his home and then bedroom. She looked around the room and smiled a little, revealing her perfect teeth parting through her beautiful pink lips.

The girl looked back at him "It's $50 for my services" she said calmly, her voice very soft and beautiful. Klaus nodded moving over to her and gently brushing her hair out of the way of her corset strings and began untying them slowly, leaning in to smell and kiss her neck. He took in a breath and her sweet smell filled his lungs, she was the best smelling human he'd found in years. Klaus got the outer layer of her dress off and then her corset also, leaving her just in her stockings.

He crouched down in front of her and caught a glimpse of her face, she was a little surprised – by what Klaus wasn't sure, but she was – and her mouth made a perfect o shape. He smiled a little and rolled her stocking down her smooth and rather long legs, he leant in and kissed her inner thigh, smelling the sweet artery located just below her smooth skin.

He got her stockings off, leaving her naked and he gazed over her body. That was when he found the bruises. He looked into her eyes "What's your name?" he asked her gently, taking her shoulders and compelling her. "Elizabeth Wilkins" she said softly, looking back into his eyes.

He stopped compelling her and sat her on the bed, removing his own clothes and laying her back on the bed, lying on top of her and kissing her neck gently, his hands massaging her sides.

His hands reached her hips and she let out a soft moan before Klaus even went near her opening, but this moan was like a key unlocking the door, it gave him permission and access to her, and he took it.

Present day.

Elizabeth was watching him curiously, he looked completely absorbed by his thoughts. "I need to find Katerina" he told her, leaving the room quickly. Elizabeth stared at the door, confused. Niklaus never told her what he was doing. Ever. She sighed and walked into the kitchen, raiding the cupboards to find any sort of alcoholic beverage. How Elijah could drag her here and then just dump her with Niklaus was horrid.

Of course, he did think his girlfriend was dead. Which in itself was truly amusing to Elizabeth, Katherine's manipulation had worked wonders yet again. When Maddox made the mistake of letting Niklaus know what he'd done, it became all too clear to Klaus why he was not able to turn into a wolf. Elizabeth sighed and found a bottle of bourbon in the cupboard above the fridge, she smiled triumphantly and sat on the couch, crossing her legs and opening the bottle, taking a big drink.

She was about to lay back on the couch when the door opened and Elijah burst in. "Oh come to join the party?" she asked him, standing up and smiling at him sweetly. "Where is he?" Elijah asked her, the pain and anger clear on his face. Elizabeth shrugged "How am I supposed to know, I'm here for you remember?" she said with a small smile on her face.

He let out a small growl "Where is he Elizabeth?" he repeated, his voice calm despite his obvious pain. Elizabeth's smile faded, "You really loved her didn't you 'Lijah?" she muttered, staring at him really sympathetically. Elijah looked at her for a long time before nodding once, his focus dropping to the ground.

Elizabeth sigh and moved over to put a hand on his shoulder "He went to find her… he needs her body for something" she told him – which was partially true, he needed her and he was looking for her. Just not her body.


I know, this was mostly Elizabeth based, but next chapter, Elijah finds a way. :) :) :)
