"Hello Elijah." Veronika began as she met Elijah at the Mystic Falls cemetery late at night, this was their pre arranged spot to meet so that Elijah could take her to wherever this surprise what involved her sister was. The only thing that Veronika really knew about this was that Katerina wasn't dead, more than she already was.

"Hello Veronika, as ever it is it's good to see you again." Elijah replies before motioning for Veronika to walk with him and so the two of them began walking through the cemetery towards the woods.

"It's good to see you too Elijah and I hear congratulations are in order; you've found the long awaited doppelgänger." Veronika said.

"Yes Elena Gilbert, I take it Klaus is very pleased about this development as it means he doesn't have to try and find a way to break the curse without a doppelgänger… how is my brother these days?"

"Paranoid, blood thirty, on edge, wound up tighter than a spring not to mention fuelled with revenge. So basically the same as ever despite the fact that his biggest problem has been resolved thanks to you." Veronika noted as she recalled the phone call that she had with Klaus this morning, he was irritate at someone or something and was in the middle of yelling at someone whilst talking to her. And from what she heard from her side of the conversation he had definitely broken something judging from the smash that she has heard in the background.

Elijah quietly laughed as the two of them continued to talk. "Has he decided when he is going to grace us with his presence?"

"Do you miss your brother Elijah?" Veronika joked and Elijah managed a smile. "In all seriousness Elijah, I really do not know. Klaus is keeping things close to the chest even more so as of late. The only thing I do know is that when he does come to Mystic Falls it'll be in a spectacular fashion.

"Yes, Klaus has never been one for subtlety." Elijah noted in mild amusement.

"So what is this surprise? Klaus refused to tell me what is was and the further along we keep going the more I get intrigued and want to know what exactly it is. I know it's to do with my sister but apart from that I know nothing." Veronika questioned.

"I'm afraid if I tell you now then it will spoil the surprise Miss Petrova but I will tell you this; you will not be disappointed by it that I can assure you. When I told Klaus about it, not only was he very pleased but he said that it would be the perfect surprise for you." Elijah explained before taking a deep breath. "He seemed to think that this would help regain your trust and your forgiveness after that unfortunate incident two weeks ago."

Had it only been two weeks since Klaus tried to kill her? Veronika was surprised; it had seemed much longer than that. "Well I told Klaus that he didn't need to shower me with gifts but he seemed pretty incessant about this one. So if you can't tell me what the surprise is then could you at least tell me where it is were going?" Veronika asked.

"We're going to a church which I understand belonged to one of the so-called founding families of Mystic Families but it is not the church what's important. In 1864 as you've probably heard, your sister and twenty six other vampires were rounded up to be burned in the church–"

"Only they weren't burned in the church they were tapped in a tomb underneath it where vampires could enter but not come out but Katerina wasn't there, she escaped before the other vampires even got to the tomb but led everyone to believe that she had died in the so called fire." Veronika began and she connected the dots. "Are you telling me that she's locked in the tomb? Katerina is stuck in the tomb like she originally supposed to be?"

"I knew you'd figure it out before we had gotten there and your sister isn't exactly stuck in the tomb, the spell on it has been lifted so I've compelled her to remain there." Elijah commented and Veronika didn't respond to this, she had forgotten that Originals could compel vampires; it was another thing that made them scarier that they already are. "Veronika, is there a problem?"

"No it's just that I was thinking about what you just said about compelling Katerina, it made me wonder why Klaus has never compelled me." Veronika wearily replied.

"He respects you too much to ever do so. Klaus is very much fascinated by you Veronika even after all these years, he believes that it's not in your nature to be controlled and as such he refuses to control you" Elijah explained as the two of them reached the ruins of the church and he led Veronika to the tomb, stopping at the doorway.

"Katerina? Katerina are you there? It's me Veronika." The eldest Petrova called at and at first there was nothing but moments later Veronika heard the sound of someone moving and eventually her sister walked out of the darkness looking quite worse for wear not to mention shocked.

"Nica…Katherine began as looked at both her sister. "What are you doing here with Elijah."

Veronika laughed. "Yeah about that Katerina, I lied to you well in fact everything I've told you is a lie. I do know Klaus and Elijah, in fact I know them very well and have done for the over the last five hundred years as Klaus was the one who turned me into a vampire in the first place."

"Klaus turned you into a vampire, you said that it was a man or a woman who turned you." Katherine stated in shock

"That was the first of many lies I told you Katerina, Rose and Trevor never turned me in fact I hadn't come even come across them as I've only met them a few times as they've been hiding from Klaus and looking for you. Klaus was the one to change me, he did it not long after he killed our parents and everyone one else in our family home."

"W-why? Why didn't he kill you like the others? " Katherine questioned.

"You'll have to ask him that when he gets here but I suppose it's our mutual hatred of you Katerina as we discovered that you wronged both of us just like you've done so many others since you we're born we decided that we wanted to make you pay for what you've done to us."

"Nica he killed our family, how can you stand here and be with him after what he did?" Katherine demanded.

"Whilst I am very aware of what Niklaus did to our family, the night that our family was killed was the night that he also saved my life and I started my new one. So that's how I can stand here and be working with Klaus, Katerina."

"Saved your life? What do you mean saved your life?"

Veronika sighed and took a deep breath. "Evgeni Kaloyanov, does that name ring a bell with you Katerina? Although I wouldn't be too surprised if you don't remember him, he was the man you were supposed to marry before you got pregnant but then Papa made me marry him because I had to redeem the Petrova name after you shamed it."

Katherine shook her head in confusion. "Evgeni? What does he have anything to do with Klaus?"

"Evgeni was a monster Katerina, he beat me and forced himself on me whenever he felt like it until one night he went to far and I couldn't take it anymore so I fled back to home to beg papa not to make go back to him. When I got there I was greeted by a bloodbath and there was Klaus, he found as I was dying from the beating that Evgeni gave me and he saved me life. Turned me into a vampire and helped me get revenge on Evgeni for how he wronged me and I've been with him since."

"W-why are you doing this Veronika, I'm your sister…"

"No you were my sister back when we were in Bulgaria but you stopped being my sister when you started thinking only of yourself and not anyone else. I almost died because of you Katerina, our family died because of your selfishness so I hope it was worth it!" Veronika angrily retorted.

"Klaus was going to kill me Nica! He had to kill me to break this curse he has on him, I had no idea that we would kill our family. He's dangerous Veronika, you have to get away from him." Katherine pleaded.

"I know full well what Klaus is capable of and I am aware of the curse, I've been helping Klaus try to be break it for the last five hundred years as well as look for you. I'm proud to say that I was the one who stumbled across you a couple of weeks ago that night at the Salvatore boarding house. But that's all for now as I've got places to be and things to be doing… Oh and one last thing Katerina before I go, I have a message from Klaus and he says he'll see you soon." Veronika replied giving her sister a rather smug look before walking away back into the night without looking back.
