Eighth.

Once we were out of the house and safely in the car I felt that I could finally breathe again. "So the two of you came together?" I asked Stefan and Katherine.

"No, I didn't know she was coming at all," Stefan told us.

"I followed him and parked about a mile up the road. Don't worry, this isn't a family road trip," she said as we pulled up to her parked car. "Norrah take a quick walk with me."

"I don't think that is a good idea," Elena chimed in.

"Well I didn't ask you now did I Elena," Katherine snapped back. "Come with me please."

"Just make it quick Katherine, and no dirty tricks. We've all had more than enough for one night." Stefan told her.

Katherine responded by slamming her door, taking my hand and slamming mine as well. We walked a good ways away for the car, but not far enough that Stefan couldn't listen in. She must have known that. So why would she pull me away if she knows full well that he can hear us? Once she started to speak I understood.

Katherine held both of my wrists and spoke in rapid fire Bulgarian. No wonder she didn't go farther. This way if Stefan asked about what she was saying she and I would know he had been listening. She started telling me about the Originals, the ones who were still 'alive' and those who were not. I had only encountered Rebekah, but there were at least three brothers and their mother, the Original Witch. No one had seen or heard from her in months, but that didn't mean she was gone for good.

She gave me photographs of each of them with their names on the back and a few quick notes about their habits and personalities. I was fairly warned about Klaus and his hybrids.

"Just study those pictures so that they don't catch you off guard."

Stefan was starting to get impatient and worried that Rebekah would soon wake and come after us. He exchanged a few words with Katherine and then started the engine.

"Norrah," she called out just before we left. Switching back into Bulgarian she said the phrase that had become so familiar to me as of late, "Goodbye my girl, see you again in another life."
