Chapter 7: Katherine Confesses

Xena's POV

David and I went to that teacher's house, what was his name? Allured, Ally, Alax, Alaric! He slammed down the door and I stepped in.

"Hello, Xena," Katherine said, from a chair.

"Hello, Katerina," I said.

I shoved her against the wall by her throat.

"You wouldn't hurt your Mommy, now would you? That's very bad manners," she said.

Suddenly, I was flat on the ground, Katherine's hand squeezing my throat.

"I'm older than you, Daughter. Do not underestimate me," she hissed.

"David…" I choked out.

He couldn't come in. He hadn't been invited.

Katherine laughed. She released my throat and stepped off me. She laughed again. Dear God, was she crazy?

"You really think I'd kill my own flesh and blood?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Why don't I go ask Isobel and Elena?" I snarled. Ugh, this woman was infuriating.

"I only killed Isobel indirectly, and Elena's not dead. Unfortunately," Katerina muttered the last part.

"She's dead now," I informed her.

"You idiot!" she yelled, "You killed her? She's the Petrova doppelganger! Do you have a death wish?"

"What?" Death wish? What the heck was she taking about? Doppelganger? All I knew was that she looked like Katerina.

Katerina handed me a Bible. My Bible I realized. From before I was a vampire.

"Where did you get this?" I gasped.

"From the attic of our descendent, Elena Gilbert," she said. "Open to the Family Tree page,"

I did as I was told. Meanwhile I was thinking, Elena Gilbert isn't our descendent, she's a Gilbert, not a Flemming.

When I saw the Family Tree, I gasped.
