The Fates
"Hello everyone!... It's so good to see you guys again. I've missed all of you so much!" Katherine freely walked into the Salvatore Boarding House.
"How can you just…" Elena began but Damon answered before she could finish, "You died. So, the house isn't under your name anymore…allowing the bitch to enter whenever she feels like!"
"Like the day I brought you the cure Damon?" Katherine asked…fluttering her eyelashes.
"Yes 'Miss. Katherine'. But that doesn't mean I won't stake you at this very moment unless you tell me your reason to be here! And mind you…don't play games with us!" Damon warned her.
"Damon! I really like it when you go all rough and tough on me!" Katherine was definitely not going to stop playing around.
Damon tried his best to control himself from killing the psychotic bitch right then… because he really wanted to know if she could help them somehow!
"Katherine…let's start from the beginning! Why are you here?" Bonnie was in no mood for Katherine's games…obviously!
"Bonnie…my darling little witch, you should know why I'm here!" When no one answered, she continued... "I'm here to help you guys kill Klaus!" She said it like it was the most obvious thing.
"Did I just hear Katherine Pierce say she's going to help someone? Wow. I must be dreaming!" Damon said, his voice thick with sarcasm! "What's in it for you Bitch?"
"Damon...Would you ever bother using that brain of yours? Don't you realize? I want Klaus dead too! Is it that hard to figure?"
Damon lost his control and pinned her against the wall! "Want me to do the honors instead of Klaus?"
"Yes! Go ahead! Kill me Damon! But then…you'll be the one at blame for the death of this little group of friends who've become your new toys!"
"And how would not killing you be fruitful? You are no less than extra trouble anyway!" Damon told Katherine…with the sweetest of smiles!
"You forget the fact that I know a lot about Klaus…much more than you do!"
"We don't need your help Katherine! We'll figure something out ourselves, thank you very much!" Alaric said, obviously defending his friend.
"You are not much useful as a history teacher…Are you Alaric? And neither is that new girlfriend you've got! What's her name…umm…Vanessa?" Katherine said teasingly.
"What? Alaric's new girlfriend?" Jeremy turned to look at his so-called guardian now.
"Jeremy!" Elena gave her brother a stern look. Jeremy realized his mistake and kept quite.
"I love all this family drama you know! That's why I keep coming back to Mystic Falls." Katherine was being her usual bitchy self.
"How do you even know all this?" Alaric asked in a tight voice.
"Give me some credit Ric" Katherine teased.
"Enough!" Bonnie shouted. "You know very well Katherine that I have the power to kill you. So, give me one reason not to or just get lost before I do that"
"I love you, Witch" Damon winked at Bonnie.
"Well…actually, I'm here as a favor to Emily!" Katherine said after a long silence.
"Emily?" Bonnie was genuinely surprised…rather, shocked!
"Yes Bonnie! Emily!" Katherine continued when no one spoke… "Emily asked me to come here and help you guys…"
"And you agreed to that without thinking of any personal gains! You really want us to believe that?" Damon scowled at her.
Katherine sighed but, finally said, "Emily also told me that this was the only way I could keep myself safe from Klaus…"
"There you go…" Damon taunted.
She ignored him and continued…"because you guys have a pretty good chance if…"
"If…?" Elena asked her, interested now.
"If you know what you need to kill him" Katherine finished.
"So you know a way to kill Klaus?" Bonnie asked, bewildered.
"God! This is boring! … No Bonnie, I don't know how to kill Klaus. Had I known that, I wouldn't have waited this long, trust me!"
"Then what is it that you know Katherine? Can you stop being so vague or you want me to give you a nice little aneurysm to get you talking?" Bonnie raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"You should try to be friendly with me…for your own good!"
Bonnie started to say something again but Katherine stopped her…
"Let me finish first…Now listen carefully!
Back when I was a human and had met Klaus, he told me a lot of random things. Now that I recall all of them, I have been trying to use them against him!" No one said anything so she sighed and continued.
"I know that you guys found that journal entry among Isobel's research." She smiled when Elena and Jeremy looked at the others, confused.
"What journal entry?" Elena turned to look accusingly at the other three, especially Damon.
"Elena, we didn't know it meant anything…and still can't be sure." Bonnie eyed Katherine suspiciously.
"You could've told us about it atleast! And when did you find this?" Elena was furious.
"That's not important right now Elena. We can get to that later. For now, all there is to know about it is that it mentioned some human with extraordinary powers and hinted that witches knew of its existence." Bonnie quickly told Elena. "So, let's hear what Katherine has to say first. Okay?"
Elena still looked hurt about not being told of this before but nodded. Everyone looked at Katherine now…waiting for her to finally reveal what she knew.
Katherine smiled at Elena before continuing…"So, like I was saying earlier, Klaus told me many things. At that time, I thought it was random chatter…but, now I think there is an important piece of information there." She paused for a while but catching Bonnie's threatening look, smiled and continued, "Klaus had once told me that humans could be very extraordinary! He had said that there were certain forces of nature which only humans could control…and some of these forces could prove to be harmful for the most powerful creatures as well. Obviously I didn't understand a word of what he was saying…at that time. Now, I'm sure he meant that these forces were harmful to supernatural beings. What's written in that journal entry is another proof of existence of some human form which is definitely very powerful! If we want to kill Klaus, This is something we need to look into."
"We can't be sure this is all true. It's just a speculation!" Damon said.
"It's not just a speculation Damon!" She continued before he could interrupt, "I know it's not because of something else that I heard back when I met Klaus."
"What?" he asked.
"Klaus always kept joking about something…He used to say-
I wish the Fates could've been on our side…too bad I never tasted their blood before I got them all killed!
This was something Klaus loved saying whenever he succeeded in his endeavors." Katherine finally finished.
"What's 'the Fates'?" Jeremy asked out loud.
No one knew the answer to that…so they all turned to look at Katherine, who was smiling again!
She told them…
"There are just two 'obvious' answers-
A-They are human! And B-Their not being on Klaus's side…made him insecure enough to kill them!"
