Almost 3 years passed by. The originals were running from their father again , while Katherine spend her time just being herself. No matter where she was – when she left a lot of people died. She just killed without regret , not feeling anything. It was the best for her – at least she though it was. She made a decision. She never wanted to feel again and she also never wanted to love again. Since Elijah left she tried not to think about him, because everytime when that man crossed her mind she almost lost her ability not to feel. Meanwhile Elijah , Rebekah and Klaus were still in Chicago. The town was big enough to hide from Mikael and find a way to defeat him, but it seemed like they had no chance.

Katherine never spent longer than a week in a town. She arrived , killed and left. One day she arrived in Chicago , a town which seemed to be big enough to stay a little longer. Of course the first thing she did was hunting down some humans. When she was done she went into a pub, to drink something . Sitting down on a chair at the bar she ordered a drink and took a sip of it was she noticed that someone sat down right next to her. As she looked at him she suddenly remembered who it was , which made her feel a little unsure about how to react.

"Good evening Katherine" , then man said "I heard you had an arrangement with my son. Elijah ?" he asked "Oh maybe you don't remember me. I'm Mikael" he explained

Katherine looked at him and hesitated "That is true . But I haven't seen him in a while " she answered

"That's very good to know. But I want you to do something for me Katherine. I know where he is, but I don't know where his siblings are. I will bring you to him and you will convince him to tell you where Rebekah and Klaus are. " he said.

"I will not do anything. I will not help you killing them" she just replied

"Oh you will …because" he pulled out a stake and pointed it to her heart "If you don't you will be the one who dies"

Katherine hesitated. She didn't want to be the reason for Elijahs death, but she also didn't want to get killed by Mikael. She didn't know what to to.

Elijah walked along the street. His siblings were hiding in a village a few miles away from the town. As he passed a pub , he looked inside through the window and saw Katerina sitting there. For a moment he smiled slightly, but then he was shocked as he saw his father talking to her. For sure she was working together with him to take revenge on him…but would she really do something like his Klaus had been right and nobody could trust her. He hesitated then went into the bar. He knew that Mikael couldn't kill him as long as that much humans were around , so he went towards them "Good evening father " he said before looking at her "Katerina."

Mikael looked at his son who stood in front of him "What makes you join our talk Elijah ?" he asked

Elijah looked at him "Oh I just wondered what you would had to tell her " he said and looked at Katerina for a moment.

A little later Mikael stood up and looked at Katherine "Do what I tell you. You know the consequences"

Katerina looked at him and nodded slightly before looking back at Elijah "So , here we meet again ?" she asked. It was obvious that she had turned her humanity off , but she didn't care "I thought your hiding together with your siblings"

Elijah nodded "I am together with them. I just prefered to spend the day alone. But what are you doing here?" he asked

"Im here to hunt down a few humans and leave. But Ive got some other things to do in this town"

"Other things ?"

She nodded "Yes , nothing important.."
