Katherine closed the doors to The Abattoir behind her as she bit into her bagel, turning to her left she jumped slightly as she found Elijah leaning against the huge stone building.
"Apologise, I did not mean to frighten you, Katerina." He spoke as he pushed off the building, coming closer to her.
"Elijah." Katherine finally managed to speak, after swallowing the bite she'd taken of the bagel.
"You're human." He observed and Katherine had to stop herself from rolling her eyes, instead she chose to nod, nervously pushing her hair behind her ear. She didn't know what it was about Elijah but he always made her feel insecure and small. Something she loathed.
"How?" He asked his dark eyes connecting with hers. "The cure. Elena and I had a fight, she caught me by surprise, shoved the cure in my mouth and then snapped it closed, crushing the vial and essentially forcing me to drink the cure."
Elijah's lips twitch slightly, finding it just a bit amusing that the baby vampire managed to beat Katherine Pierce.
"Was there any side effects?"
"Yeah, I was aging rapidly and I almost died-" Katherine stopped herself as she thought for a moment she saw a flash of worry cross Elijah's features. "Bonnie saved me." She finished.
"Just like that?" Elijah questioned. Finding it highly unlikely that the Bennett witch would do anything for the brunette in front of him.
"No, Stefan had to beg her." Katherine mumbled. "Stefan Salvatore." Elijah mused, he couldn't help the slight twinge in his heart at the name. The Salvatore brother had always been a sore subject, considering Katherine had fallen for the younger man.
"What brings you to New Orleans?"
Katherines eyes ran over Elijah before they settled on his eyes once more, she licked her lips before she answered him. Hoping he would take her seriously.
"You."
"Me?" Elijah replied, surprise on his face. He had to admit, he did not expect that answer.
"I've done horrible things in my past, you out of anyone know it. As a vampire I always had to look out for myself thanks to your brother. I didn't stop to appreciate the people around me, the people who saw the good in me. You." Katherine looked down and bit her lip, feeling all of the emotions she'd buried deep inside of her spring free and rush through her body.
"I'm not a good person and I'll probably never will be. But I don't have eternity anymore and I would like to spend the remaining of my human years making it up to the people who saw the good in me. Mainly you." Finally looking up again hazel met soft dark brown eyes.
"I want to spend the rest of my human years with you." Katherine finished, feeling proud of herself for finally being able to say what she'd wanted to for so long.
Elijah observed her for a moment, taking in her words. "And what if I've already moved on?" He asked and watched as the brunette in front of him shrunk a bit, the confidence once on her face shrinking away.
"Then I guess I'll leave you to be happy." Katherine replied, biting on her bottom lip once more. Elijah noticed she always did that when she felt small and insecure. Something he found adorable.
"I hope you realize I can't just take your word for it Katerina." Elijah spoke softly
"Of course not." She immediately replied. "I plan on showing you." She added as Elijah took a step closer, leaving just a few inches between them.
It seemed like time had stopped, the noises from the street went mute, the people walking seemed to have stopped and all that could be heard for the both of them were their breaths coming out.
"I look forward to what ever it is you have planned." Elijah spoke in a soft low tone before he vampire sped away. Katherine exhaled and closed her eyes as she felt a tingle run across her skin.
She couldn't help the small smile that crept on to her lips, shaking her head slightly she opened her eyes and made her way back to the hotel room. A new sense of hope filling her as her mind raced with ideas on how to show the Original vampire how much he actually meant to her.
Mikael Mikaelson was a man of pride. So being locked up by a 16 year old girl was something that wounded his pride deeply. Especially since this girl had him on a leash. Frowning he glared down at the bracelet that kept him captive.
For months he'd been locked up while the little witch had been trying to figure out a way to cut the link between his bastard son and his vampires. All so that she could save her precious friends.
His eyes wandered to the only remaining white oak stake, the very last weapon to use against the monsters his children were. The weapon his wife had created. Esther. He suppose he should feel anger towards her, and he did. But truth be told he'd always been weak for her, loved her even.
"Love." He muttered, the word tasting bitter on his tongue. He remembered clearly when things had turned south for their family. Freya. His first child, his precious daughter. Esther had said she got sick while he was out hunting with the rest of the village men and she'd been unable to cure the child. Something inside of him had broken when he heard the news of her death and after that all that was left in him was darkness and anger.
Which led to Esther falling for a werewolf, bearing the mutts child and then forcing him, Mikael Mikaelson to raise the bastard as his own. He'd always known deep down that something was off about Niklaus. He had sensed it. But he decided to trust Esther, something that he shouldn't of done. So when Niklaus had killed her in a fit of rage, he'd been surprise by the amount of anger he had felt. That anger was part of the reason he so relentlessly hunted his children down, hunted Niklaus.
The door to the room opened breaking him out of his thoughts. A young dark haired girl stepped inside, her eyes roamed the room briefly before her bright eyes settled upon him.
"Any closer to breaking the sire line, young witch?" Mikael drawled as he eyed the witch.
"How many times have I said my name is Davina, not young girl, not young witch. Davina." Davina replied with a hint of annoyance in her voice. Who knew dealing with the father of all evil would prove to be difficult.
Mikael didn't answer her, remaining silent as he waited for Davina to answer his question. Sighing Davina dropped the grimoires on the dresser before folding her arms over her chest.
"Im getting there, its just this one part that I have to be sure about before I can do the spell to unlink everyone from Klaus sire line." Mikael gave her a curt nod, soon he'd be able to get his revenge on the son he never wanted.
Davina walked up to him and rolled up the sleeve to her shirt, exposing her slender wrist and slightly tanned skin. She grabbed the knife laying on the small table and cut a line across her skin, red immediately appearing.
"Drink." Davina ordered as Mikaels eyes turned a blackish red, the veins under his eyes appearing before he grabbed the wrist and bit down on. He hated drinking like this, but it was for his own survival.
Davina let out a small hiss, her face scrunching up in pain as Mikael drank from her, the feeding was always kept short and soon Mikael retracted his fangs and let go of her arm, letting it drop to her side. He licked his lips before settling down in the armchair as Davina grabbed a cloth, dabbing the blood away from the wound before she rolled down the sleeve of her shirt to cover the bite up.
"Hurry, witch. Im growing impatient." Mikael said making Davina roll her eyes before she left the room, grimoires back in her arms. Davina herself was growing impatient aswell, but this was a complicated spell and she couldn't afford to mess it up. Not when so many peoples lives were on the line.
Caroline found herself in Klaus room once more, arms crossed over her chest as she stared out of the windows letting the warm rays of sunshine hit her porcelain skin.
"I thought I might find you here." Klaus soothing but still slightly raspy voice spoke. Caroline watched him from the corner of her eye as he strode up to stand next to her.
"Something on your mind, love?" He asked, folding his hands behind his back as he stared at her.
"You knew she was here this whole time." Caroline replied as she looked at him. "I did yes." Klaus admitted as Caroline turned her gaze away from him.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because I knew you never thought much of her, why ruin a nice reunion with something that would clearly upset you."
"You should of still told me that she was here." Klaus let out a small sigh before nodding.
"You're right, from now on I will tell you everything." Caroline turned to look at him once more.
"If this is going to work out we need to be open and honest with one another. That is all I'm ever going to ask from you. That we do not under any circumstances keep secrets from one another."
Klaus looked at her with that intense stare that only he could have in a moment like this.
"I give you my word, there will never be any secrets between us." Caroline gave him a small smile and a nod.
"Are you prepared for tonight?" Klaus asked and Caroline let out a sigh before she nodded once more.
"As ready as ill ever be." She replied.
"If you're not comfortable-" Klaus started but Caroline interrupted him. "I told you I was going to help you. Do I like killing people, no. But its something I'm willing to do, to help you. That doesn't mean I'm always going to be on board with killing first think of other options later, but I believe that this time killing is a necessity."
Klaus nodded, knowing fully that the blonde had always been against hurting others. She wanted to remain as human as possible, even though shed been turned into a monster. A beautiful one at that.
"Are you ready for tonight?" Caroline asked and Klaus gave her a hum as a reply. Indicating that yes, he was more than ready.
They stood in silence for a few minutes, taking in the view from Klaus bedroom windows.
"Last night, when I told you Katherine was a human, I saw that glint in your eyes. What are you planning for her?" Caroline decided to ask her eyes shifting slightly to look at the blonde next to her.
"Right now I have no plans for Katerina. That doesn't mean she wont prove to be useful in the future."
"Doppelgänger blood, hybrids." Caroline mumbled.
"Precisely. However I need to consult some witches before I make a move."
"That's why Hayley is still around? You're going to make her your test subject?"
"Yes." Klaus replied honestly.
"Say you succeed. What then?" Caroline asked and Klaus turned himself to fully look at her.
"I know this is a touchy subject for you, love. But I promise you I wont force anyone to turn into a hybrid. It will be completely up to themselves."
"And Katherine?"
"Katerina owes me." Klaus stated making Caroline snort. "That's where we don't see eye to eye." She said shaking her head slightly.
"There will be a lot of times where we don't see eye to eye, love." Klaus spoke as Caroline locked eyes with him.
"Im aware." She replied softly. "I wont run away because of it. Every relationships have their disagreements and bumps." She added and watched as Klaus seemed to relax at her words. Did he really think shed bolt at any sign of a argument or disagreement?
A soft smile edged its way to his lips, he was filled with happiness by her reassuring words. He wasn't t going to lie, in the back of his mind he'd been afraid that she would run back to Mystic Falls at the first sign of a disagreement or fight. He knew he could be stubborn and difficult to handle, so hearing her say she wouldn't t made him feel happy. Which was an odd feeling for him, he couldn't t recall the last time he'd felt like this.
They both fell back into a comfortable silence, enjoying each others company as they waited for night to come and for Klaus plan to be set into motion.
Elena sighed as she downed another glass of whiskey. She had been sitting by the bar at The Grill for over an hour now, her mind racing with questions. Why would Caroline just suddenly decide to up and leave them for Klaus? Had the blonde actually fallen for the hybrid?
"Is this going to become a recurring thing?" A familiar voice asked and Elena turned her head to see her former boyfriend, now one of her closest friend walk towards her. He slid onto the stool next to her and grabbed the bottle of whiskey from her.
"What do you mean Matt?" Elena asked confused as the blonde leaned over the bar and out the bottle back in its place.
"This is how I found Caroline the other day. Although, she went for the tequila." He explained.
"She always preferred Tequila." Elena mused as she played with the glass.
"What's up? You seem to be deep in your thoughts." Elena shrugged before she sighed and slumped down, leaning her head against her hand as she looked to Matt.
"Caroline left for New Orleans, for Klaus and I didn't handle it well. Im still not, as I'm sure you can tell."
"What exactly happened?"
"I kind of stormed out, saying I couldn't deal with it. I mean, what is she thinking? Klaus? He's ruined so many peoples lives and she.. She just goes for him."
"Are you sure you're in any position to speak? You're dating Damon afterall." Matt countered and Elena fell silent.
"Don't give me the 'its not the same thing' talk. Damon used her, sexually and as a bloodbag. What he did was messed up Elena and we all expected her to just be fine with him joining us. And she forgave him to not complicate things and to keep the peace because that's the kind of person she is."
Elena remained silent, she knew he was right. Caroline had done so much for all of them, she was such a good person, an amazing best friend.
"Klaus may be evil and downright psycho at times, but he's always been different with her. We can't deny that. Maybe Caroline is what he needs in his life to showcase the good in him."
"Maybe." Elena mumbled. She knew Klaus was different around Caroline, that s exactly the reason behind them using her as a distraction for him. She just never knew that her friend might of felt something in return.
"Call her, apologies and make up." Matt said before he slid off the stool and made his way to the backroom, probably to get ready for work.
Elena bit her bottom lip before she fished her phone up from her jacket, deciding that Matt was right. She needed to make up with her friend and be supportive of whatever decision she decided to make. It s the least she could do.
I know the chapter is a little short, I kind of hit a writers block and everything I wrote out just didn't turn out good enough, in my own opinion of course. And I'm not going to put out something I'm not satisfied with. Longer chapter will come next week, cause I know exactly how I want it to roll out and I've already started writing it!
