Chapter One
"What is your full name?"
"Katerina Nikolina Petrova."
"When were you born?"
"June 5th 1473."
"And last question, what was the last time you remember?"
Katherine Pierce, or Katerina Petrova as she preferred herself to be know now, frowned as she rested her hand on her cheek. Sitting a few feet from her, Elijah Mikaelson looked on attentively hoping for any glimpse of remembrance from her old life, or most likely this life. The life she had before she had been forced to turn for her own safety.
But the innocent, confused doe eyed look kept staring back at him.
He hadn't seen that sweet, pure innocent look in Katerina for centuries. So this has been the consequence that Davina had been talking about. Katerina would be allowed to live her life as a vampire, but all her vampire memories had been erased completely.
She had no idea where she was or what she had done. The only faces and names that were familiar to her were Elijah, and Klaus and Rebekah Mikaelson. She had no idea who Caroline was or Nadia. She didn't remember flirting and playing with the Salvatore boys' hearts. She didn't remember trying to kill her own doppelganger Elena.
She had no clue about anything. It seemed to be both a blessing and a curse.
"Think, Katerina," Elijah murmured as he clasped her hand. "Think hard for me, please."
Katerina nodded as she said the words slowly. "Lord Klaus invited me back to his quarters for a cup of wine and then we," she flushed bright red and Elijah didn't ask her to continue. His brother had never exactly been a gentleman and it didn't surprise him that he and Katerina had had sexual relationships even though he had been planning on sacrificing her. "And then I went back to my room and you were there and you were going to tell me something important. Except I don't know what."
Elijah nodded. "I do." He remember that night, that had been the night that he had told Katerina that his brother was planning to use her as a sacrificial lamb. "What else-"
"Lord Elijah," Katherine shook her head. "I think that is enough remembering for now. Please. I hate being confused."
Elijah nodded, he placed a hand on her cheek. He wanted to kiss her and take her fears away. He leaned in, but Katherine pulled away. "Please Lord Elijah, I am courting your brother. It would be rather rude if you have any other thoughts that are less than proper about me."
Elijah cleared his throat. "Of course." So Katerina still thought that she and Klaus were dating. Won't he and Caroline get a nasty surprise? "I'll leave you to rest. You must be very tired. I'll send Rebekah with some clothes." He eyed her shirt. "You might want to change."
"May I ask you a question?"
"Of course." It still startled Elijah that Katerina managed to be so polite.
She hesitated. "Why does my throat feel like its burning?"
Elijah froze. He had another problem. Someone needed to teach Katerina how to feed and control her hunger, teach her about compulsion, and most importantly not to turn off her humanity switch. She still hadn't completed the transition.
"It's nothing," Elijah said. "I know how to fix it. Why don't you shower first? I'll meet you downstairs."
Klaus stared down inside the wooden crib that had been in his family for generations. Heck, he remembered Henrik sleeping in it at some point and now it belonged to his daughter, Regina. His daughter. He honestly couldn't believe that this little thing in the crib was his own flesh and blood.
She had been born only a few days ago and had already been in danger and already rescued by none other than Katherine Pierce. She had Hayley's own dark brown hair and blue irises peeked from under her eyelids.
He didn't like holding her, afraid he might hurt her and instead used the time to just watch her sleep. He was just glad that she wasn't much of a crier at least he didn't have to worry about her making Rebekah like temper tantrums.
His baby unique in its kind, a witch, werewolf, and vampire hybrid combination. The witch and werewolf combination wouldn't come until later, but there was still the vampire part that he had to deal with.
Regina let out a low cry and Klaus backed away like it was on fire.
"Don't worry, she won't hurt you," Hayley Marshall teased as she held up a bottle of blood mixed with baby formula. "I brought breakfast."
"Hayley," he said trying to hide his relief. He stared back at Regina who was starting to fuss and kick her little legs. "Well, get to it then."
Hayley rolled her eyes as she grabbed Regina and started feeding her. "It's ok, if you want to hold her you know."
Caroline Forbes checked her reflection in the mirror. Messy blond hair, mouth covered with blood, and stained teeth. She smirked as she grabbed a tissue from her car and wiped away the blood from her mouth. She grabbed the mini tooth brush from her purse and cleaned her teeth and pulled her hair into a sexy bun.
She colored her lips with red lipstick. There was nothing she could do about her bloody and dirty clothes. Oh, well at least she would scare them.
Caroline got out of her car and closed the door. She had just been about to enter the bar when a middle aged woman stopped her. "Are you ok, Hon? You're bleeding."
"Get out of my way." She hissed as she tried to step forward, but the woman blocked her way.
"I really think you should see a doctor."
"And I really think you should mind your own business." Caroline flashed out her fangs at the terrified woman. "Great. Now you're going to make me ruin my make up." She sunk her fangs inside the woman's throat ignoring her cries of pain.
"What do you mean Katherine doesn't remember anything? Rebekah glared at her older brother as if this were Elijah's idea of a joke. "Davina's spell worked, she can be a vampire again, please don't tell me that this is what they meant by consequence."
"I'm afraid so." Elijah frowned. "She remember nothing onward from 1492. Her last memory includes the night I was going to tell her about Niklaus' plan. I tried compulsion to no avail."
"Well, then we should be glad that Katerina hasn't run for the hills then," Klaus smirked. "I really don't care what memory problems Katerina is going through. I paid her back for saving my daughter, we're even. Elijah, just make sure she doesn't ruin my plans or I will be forced to take action."
Elijah sighed, obviously disgusted at his brother's retrieving back.
"Well, obviously I'm not needed here, so I'm just going to-"
"Rebekah."
"What Elijah?"
Elijah bit his lip. "I need you to help me with Katerina. She is completely lost not only with the modern world but I feel that her transition as vampire will be especially hard for her. She trusts me, but I think it would be easier if she had a female companion."
Rebekah scowled. "I am not helping that backstabbing, ego maniac who already ruined this family twice-"
"Rebekah," Elijah squeezed her hand. "Do it for me, please?"
Rebekah hesitated. "All right, but this is the last bloody favor I do for both of you."
