Chapter 2
He woke up late the next morning. He heard voices downstairs. There was a knock on the door and Rebekah walked in. He had barely seen her last night.
"Elijah is asking for you" she said simply "Before you ask, I had a busy night" she added and winked.
"I have thought you well" he smirked back. She scoffed at that and her face turned serious "You should hurry, It's important"
He got ready and made his way downstairs. He could smell her. He moved at vampire speed and immediately had her hand on her neck against the wall.
"Klaus! Listen to her first." Elijah said clearly exasperated.
"It's fine Elijah. I was prepared for this" she managed to choke out. Elijah tore Klaus's hand from her throat. Sierra fell to the floor.
"Never , EVER do that again" he growled at his brother for getting in the way.
"She is here to help break your curse" Elijah said simply. Elijah knew he had his brother's attention now. "Sierra if you would please tell Klaus what you told me" Elijah continued.
"To start off, there are rumours that have spread regarding the sun and moon curse and that you intend to break it and-"
"How is it you can help?" Klaus interrupted her.
"I can procure the Petrova doppelgänger" she questioned.
The room was quiet as her words sank in. Klaus stood up, and walked towards her. They had dealt with fakes before. They would come to them saying they have found what they were looking for. When Klaus compelled them for the truth, he was always disappointed and whoever lied would be dead. He looked into her eyes, his pupils dilating.
"Are you telling the truth?" he compelled her.
"Yes" she forced herself to answer blankly. She didn't want him to know she was on vervain.
"You have searched for years, and haven't come close!" He just glared at her. Sierra inhaled deeply. "Well, since it's clear that you will not hesitate to end my life, I will strike a deal"
"What makes you think I will keep it?"
"You are many things Klaus, but you are not one to break your word"
It was the first time she had used his name he realised. Now he laughed humourlessly at this "How would you know?"
"I see it in your eyes" she said simply. "Now, on to business" she continued, not giving him a chance to reply. "I will give you the name and whereabouts of the doppelgänger you have been searching for all these years and in return" she paused for a dramatic effect. Klaus had to admit, this girl had flare.
"You will live" he finished simply.
"And you will not harm me or force me into something against my will"
Elijah looked at Klaus and Sierra.
"Do we have an accord? Elijah said still looking at them.
Sierra put out her hand, rather bold for a woman of the time. She clearly didn't care of the rules of society. Klaus looked at her hand, and back at her but didn't shake it. Instead, he chose to say "We have an accord"
"Well then. The doppelganger is in Bulgaria. She goes by the name of Katerina Petrova"
"How do you know this? We have searched for ages and yet you have found her before us? How are your resources better then ours?"
"I made all the right friends" she replied simply. Klaus merely scoffed at this and she sighed.
"I had a witch locate her for me. Apparently she is coming to England to-"
"Why should I wait? I can just go and take her now" he interrupted. Impatient that his task was nearly complete.
"She is coming here. Unless of course you plan to intercept her halfway and terrify her before the next full moon but then," she paused "She would spend every moment trying to get away from you and may just get killed in the process. Why take that risk?"
He nodded slowly. This girl definitely thought things through "I see. When will she arrive?"
"That was not part of our bargain" she smiled at him sweetly. Elijah was worried now. If looks could kill, Sierra would be truly dead. Klaus was always too impulsive and did not see that coming.
"Well then, if she is not here by the next full moon, your death will be a slow and painful one. That I can assure you" he said as calmly before leaving the room. Elijah knew better though. He knew that behind the calm façade, Niklaus was burning with rage. Sierra was really walking on thin ice.
