We both walked into the pub. It wasn't something fancy. The most of the men were drunk, there were few whores.
"What a trashy palce, Kathy!" I said sarcastically. She rolled her eyes.
"I didn't choose it, the owner of the pub is the witch, Katie." I sighed, why the witches had to be owners of a trashy pub or such moralist. We walked to the bar and Katherine greeted a dark skinned woman in her late thirties.
"Katherine, what brings you in my pub?" The woman said smiling. Then she turned to me. "I see you brought a friend." I smiled coldly at her. Right now I preferred Bonnie Bennett to that witch.
"Katelyn Richards, it is pleasure to meet you."
"I am Marta. This is my place and the drinks are on me ladies." I looked at Katherine, she just shook her head.
"Marta, we are here because we need a favor and my friend here is in hurry." Marta's smirk fell.
"Ladies, you are not fun! However let's go in the back." We followed the woman. The store was a better place than the actual pub.
"Now, spill Katherine." Katherine looked at me and I nodded. I started to talk.
"We need you to cast a spell. It is simple we both to feel each other' pain and to have each other's wounds. For example if somebody shoots me, Katherine will feel the pain and will have the wound and vice versa." Marta looked at us if we were aliens.
"Are you crazy? If somebody stakes one of you, then the other dies too. Are you aware of this fact?"Katherine rolled her eyes.
"Yes, Marta, we are aware. Can you do it or not?" Katherine definitely knew the rules of the business. I smirked.
"Yes, I can do it. But the spell is not permanent. It can last maximum three weeks." I looked at Katherine and we both nodded. The witch opened her book and started chanting. After few minutes she was done.
"OK, ladies it is done. I hope that none of you get a stake in her heart." Marta said. Katherine smirked and said in bitchy tone.
"Don't worry neither of us has a beating heart." I saw a knife on the table. I wanted to check if the spell was working and I cut my finger. Katherine gasped.
"What the hell!" She looked at me. "You could have warned me."
"Chill, I wanted to know if it is working." I smirked at her, then I turned to Marta. "Thank you for doing us that favor, Marta. I really appreciate it, but if anybody finds out about this, I will tear you limb by limb. And trust me it is not a threat, it is a promise. Have a nice day." Both Katherine and I walked out. Katherine was smirking all the time.
"What?"
"You scared the hell of her inside. I am impressed, now I understand why you were Klaus' right hand." I smirked.
"Well, it was my job for over a century. In fact I was pretty nice to her." Katherine laughed.
"Remind me to run, when you are mad. I certainly don't want to see you bad." I smirked. I already felt her as a sister.
"What now?" she asked me.
"Well, I am going back in Mystic Falls, I suggest you stay here for day or two. I want to surprise everybody. They are stronger than us, but we have surprise on our side. I will text you when to come." The brunette smirked.
"I will wait for your text. I will go home to pack my things. See you soon sister!" I smirked at her.
"Try not to get killed, sister. I am too young to die." She laughed. Katherine got in her car, I got in mine and we drove into different directions. The whole time I was driving I was thinking about Katherine and me. We both were collateral damage. Our lives were destroyed by Klaus. Maybe Katherine was like Elena, when she was human loving and caring. Maybe I was too. Katherine spent 500 years hiding from both Klaus and Elijah, that made her turn her emotions off. I spent 150 years killing for Klaus that made me turn my emotions. I smiled at the irony we both were wrecks, we were damaged, and we had so much in common. Elena told me what she did to Damon and Stefan. Katherine played with them and it was cruel. But I partly understood her. Klaus and Elijah did the same thing to her. I all the time believed in Klaus. I was blind and I destroyed so many lives. Klaus had to pay for everything...
I stopped my car in front of the boarding house. I stayed in it for a minute to gather my thoughts. I know that it was wrong to lie to Damon and Stefan. But I didn't have a choice. They would never let me do what I did tonight, if they knew. I stepped out of the car and walked into the house. I heard a conversation. I stopped for a minute to hear the voices, they were Damon and Stefan, but I sensed someone else with them. I walked into the living room. I saw Stefan sitting on the couch, next to him was Elena. On the other couch sat no one but Elijah. Damon was standing by the coffee table. He looked at me worried.
"Where have you been?" He asked me.
"I told you on the phone. I was in Atlanta, I thought that a friend of mine might help me. However my trip was useless." Elena looked at me questionably. I gave her the look I-will-tell-you-later. She nodded unnoticed by anyone.
"Are you sure you are not lying?" asked me Stefan. "You didn't tell anybody where you are going. You could have warned somebody." I smirked at him and said in bitchy tone.
"Stefan the last time I checked you weren't my husband to tell you everything. And if you were, I would still not tell you everything." Damon chuckled. I turned to him. "Sweetheart, the same goes for you." His smirked dropped. Finally I turned to Elijah. "Good evening, Elijah, what do we owe your visit?"
"My dear Katelyn, I am here to discus how are we going to take my brother down. I believe I told you to give me the list of Klaus' witches." He was man of business and honor. He didn't do threats, but his emotions were off. The only thing that he wanted was his family. I wondered if he was capable of love, but he was, he cared for Katherine long time ago.
"All in time, Elijah. Are you going to tell us what is in the precious coffin?"
"Somebody who can kill Klaus." Elijah stated. I sighed and sat in the armchair beside the table.
"Well, Elijah we are aware of that." Damon said sarcastically. "We just want to know what we are freeing. Does it worth?"
"Our mother is in it." Elijah said in small voice.
"What?" Elena said. "I thought that Klaus killed her and buried her."
"Elena, there are many things you don't know. You are young and there are many things that you cannot understand. Have you asked yourself the question why Klaus need a doppelganger to break the curse?" Stefan, Damon and Elena shook their heads.
"Well, I asked Klaus why, but he didn't tell me anything. So, Elijah, are you going to enlighten us?" The Original nodded.
"The originator of the Petrova line was named Tatia. You know the story how my family became vampires." We all nodded. "In the wine was Tatia's blood. Because of her blood we became vampires." I could tell he was hiding something.
"Why your mother chose Tatia?" Elijah looked at me.
"Katelyn, you know what people say: History repeats itself. Well, it is very true. Klaus and I were in love with her, but she couldn't choose. So my mother took everything in her hands."
"You were in love with the same girl?" Damon asked him. Elijah just nodded. "That was unexpected." I chuckled.
"Not quite if you think about it." Damon gave me a strange look. Elena looked at me questionably. Everyone in the room was paying attention to me. "Damon, you and Stefan were in love with Katherine. Now you both are in love with Elena. Klaus and Elijah had feelings to Katherine, they were also in love with Tatia. It is how it goes." I didn't know why but it hurt to say that Damon was in love with Elena. I tried to hide it. Everyone was silent.
"It is not fair..." said Elena in small voice. I looked at her. Disgust was written on her face. "How many people got hurt, because of her? It is unbelievable, she had to choose. If she made a choice nobody would get hurt."
"You cannot do anything about that, Elena. We cannot change past." Stefan said.
"Can you choose, Elena?" asked her Damon. "No, you can't, neither can Tatia nor Katherine. But I am not going to do the same mistake twice. I will choose for you, I give up on you." That was unexpected. Then he turned to Elijah. "That is what you had to do, my dear friend. I did that, because I know that something better is waiting for me. And now I am going to fight for it!" He glanced over me...
