Black Roses - Chapter three
The next day, Katherine woke up in an empty bed. Her fingers went over the empty side of the bed. The feeling of the ring on her left ring finger was foreign. She still couldn't believe she got married last night. Her neck felt sore, her hand went over the flesh and the wound hurt.
"Good morning, darling." she heard and her eyes scanned the room looking for her husband.
She saw him standing across the room, half naked and with blood smeared over his chest. A look of disgust was on her face.
"Don't you dare judge me, or I will punish you."
"I wasn't judging you, you just show off what you are." she muttered and he smirked.
The fact that he was now married to the girl was sinking in. She was now his wife.
"Do you want any breakfast?" he asked her and she nodded. She needed actual breakfast, not some servant who she could drain.
He escorted her downstairs to the kitchen, after she was dresses properly. She saw the servants look at him in fear, he just smiled at them.
"Please make my wife some breakfast." he ordered. "I'll be off to do my business. I'll see you tonight."
The servant made her breakfast and served it in the dining room. When Katherine walked in, she saw her mother-in-law waiting for her. She made some courtesy and sat down.
"Katherine, dear girl, please cover up your neck. We don't want to scare the servants." she said, handing over a scarf and Katherine wrapped it around her neck.
"The reason why I am here is to talk to you." Esther said. "Since your addition to our family has stirred up some questions outside the manor, I'll enlighten you to the situation."
Katherine silently ate her breakfast and listened to the lady.
"We are the oldest family of vampires. People respect us, therefore they should respect the wife of an Original as well." the lady said. "Do not disgrace our family name. We know people are aware of our status but we don't flaunt it. So next time you serve as a snack to your husband, make sure he heals you."
Katherine nodded.
"That will be all for now."
And Esther left the young girl alone with the food.

Kol was standing in front of the Lockwood Manor. His brother Elijah was standing by his side. The youngest was dying to know why the Lockwood's attended the wedding. They were here to collect answers to their questions.
"Ah, we have been expecting you." the young man said while opening the door. "We'll do this outside; we don't want you to enter."
That young man was the youngest Lockwood. Kol thought his name was James or something. He reeked like a wet dog; Kol was disgusted by his appearance.
The young man led them to a little garden house, where his father awaited. Mr Lockwood himself.
"Gentlemen." he said politely and the Originals sat down on the garden furniture. "Let's get to business, shall we?"
"With the marriage of my brother to the Petrova girl, we had understood that was a sign of a peace offer?" Elijah said.
"Well not exactly. The Petrova family is a nice family, very friendly people. Besides, they are also an old family. Not a founding family, so they don't have the privileges we do." Mr Lockwood said. "With the arranged marriage, there was a peace offering from the humans to the Original family. The condition is that she will not be turned into a monster like yourselves. If she does turn, our war will be dirtier than it already was."
"I will do as I please with my wife." Kol growled at the wolf.
"Kol, calm yourself." Elijah said and he focused his attention to the Lockwood's.
"Sir, I hope you understand that we do not agree with these terms. You will be hearing from us." the older vampire said and they all stood up.
Elijah refused to shake Mr Lockwood's hand and Kol just glared at the man. They left without saying one more word.
"Elijah, she's mine now. My toy, not theirs." he huffed and he thought he could see a smile on his brother's face. It must've been his imagination because Elijah seldom smiled.
"Hush Kol, let me handle this. I'll discuss it with Mikael." he said and they didn't converse during the way back to their own property.

Katherine had enjoyed her day so far. She wandered through the big house and took in all it's beauty. From the carpets to the side tables, everything was taken care of. The carpet had a small paisley pattern and it looked really soft.
The paintings in the house were very artistic. There were drawings of women, gardens, bridges and flowers.
Katherine was standing in front of a painting she really liked. A woman, standing in front of a huge house and a man was standing in the background. The woman in the picture seemed miserable. The brunette liked this painting because it mimicked her own feelings a bit. She didn't like being away from her mother, being afraid of disappointing not only her own family, but also her in-laws.
Esther was very clear on what would happen if she screwed up. Even though she didn't say it in words, her body language spoke for her. If she messed up, she would end up dead.

Kol was angry. He was angry with the werewolves. Angry with Elijah. Angry with his parents. He was angry with everything. He decided he needed some distraction.
So he went into town and entered a bar. He saw young women, offering themselves for money. One in particular caught his eye. A blonde with big curls, her breast were barely a handful but he didn't care about that, not today. He beckoned her and she almost came running.
"You will be offering your services to me," he said and his pupils dilated. "For free."
"I will be offering my services to you, for free." she said monotonously.
"Well, with that handled, what's your name?" he asked her.
"Elizabeth, Sir." she said and he smiled.
"Very well then, Elizabeth." he said. "Let's get out of here."
They arrived at the Mikaelson Manor, he didn't really care if his wife saw him with a prostitute. He took her upstairs, to his room. He didn't bother to lock the door.
She started undressing and he chuckled.
"That won't be necessary," he said. "I'd rather do that for you."
He walked towards her, grabbed the fabrics of her dress tightly and teared them apart. He took in the sight of her body and he sighed. She wasn't fearing him.
He wanted to be feared. The girl looked at his hands, they were small yet muscular, then she took notice of his left hand. A wedding ring. She smirked. She thought he was just another married man, needing something his wife couldn't give him. If only she knew what his plan was.
He hit her unexpectedly.
"You're thinking." he growled. "Don't."
The girl was shocked, how did he know that she had seen his wedding ring? As a vampire, he saw more that she thought. His reactions were quicker and so were his observations.
Kol roughly pulled her close; he started to kiss her neck, licking her skin.
She closed her eyes, enjoying the attention to her neck. Then she felt something sharp scraping over her skin. She opened her eyes and turned around. The man standing in front of her had darkened veins under his eyes, the dark oak brown eyes had made place for red eyes. He had his mouth opened and she winced when she saw the fangs. This person wasn't a man; he was one of the feared creatures the people in the village had been talking about. She wanted to run but her legs were numb.
"We're going to have fun." he smirked and before she knew it, he sank his fangs into her flesh. She struggled, that made it only hurt more. His hands were massaging her tiny breasts and he stopped drinking. She felt relieved for a moment, not realizing there would be more.
He kissed the place he had torn apart during the drinking and he started to lower his kisses. He nibbled on her nipples, still with his bared fangs. He bit her in the soft flesh and left bite marks all over her tits.
He whirled his fingers around her sensitive nipples and they stiffened at his touch. The girl started moaning, she started to feel pleasure. That wasn't his aim. His hands grabbed her neck, slowly chocking her. She gasped for air, the sudden pleasure disappeared.
He was getting bored with this girl, she wasn't a challenge. He licker her nipples again and he sank his fangs in her flesh, creating a new bite marks. He was almost draining her.
When she was on the edge of fainting due the blood loss, he looked into her eyes and then he saw it, the fear of dying. He smiled at her and twisted her neck.
"You're cheating on me already?" he heard a voice say. He looked up from the corpse and saw his wife standing in the doorway.
"Technically, I'm not cheating. I haven't had intercourse with her." he was still smirking.
She looked at her husband in disgust, why on earth had her parents married her off to such a monster? She knew she was beautiful, was this the price she had to pay for that?
Kol walked towards her, covered in blood. His eyes were cold.
"Consider this a warning. Don't disobey me, don't cross me. Otherwise you'll end up like her." he said and he walked out of the room, leaving his wife on the edge of crying.
Katherine was strong but she wasn't invincible. The death treats were getting under her skin, at first she had thought of them as empty threats but they were really not afraid of getting their hands dirty. Katherine knew she had to be careful from now on. It takes two to play this game so she figured she had to learn the rules in order to play along.
