Hi Everyone, I'm back….sorry for updating later in the week, I was on a vacation. Anywho thank you all for following, favouriting and reading the story and special thanks to all the reviewers. I hope you all continue to enjoy the story and where it is going. I'm very excited to write season 4 though I'll be focussing a lot less on the quest for the cure and a lot more on the Mikaelson family itself and of course Katelyn.

For the reviewers:

Jamcneill680: I thoroughly love your dedication in reviewing on all the chapters! Thank you so much for being such a loyal reader. If there is anything that you really want to be in this story please tell me! Once again thank you so much!

BrittStar1199: Hahahaha yeah, It would've been rather hard to continue this story with her being dead ;)

Jessisthebestduh: Neither do I, especially now that he is broken hearted and has no one to confess his sins to…but I guess we'll be finding out about that or at least in bits and pieces.

Timijaf: Thank you, I'm happy you liked it!

Rose Nieman-Black-Targaryen: Yeah Katelyn will probably end up being the one pregnant with Nik's child. I think she wouldn't stick with him if it would be Hayley but there is definitely something coming up that gives her a reason to leave him all together but well…..you'll read about that. As for the names I put them on the list!

Galwidanatitud: Hahahaha, yeah an out of control broken hearted Klaus is definitely not someone you'd like to meet :p Thanks for the review!

MiaReina: Or maybe he might just find her. It will definitely be an emotional moment for both of them.

Geminigurl89: I know right! But I must admit that I secretly love writing about Klaus being heartbroken, I mean it really makes me think of how great Joseph Morgan acts those scenes out on TVD and TO it's just heart wrenching but beautiful at the same time!

WriterStoryShot: Ahhhw Thank you so much! I don't see this story ending anytime soon and I'll keep on writing as long as I find inspiration and time which I still have so I hope you'll enjoy reading!

Well here it is chapter 26 (which is linked to TVD's episode 3 season 4)

Katelyn looked up from the cup of tea and locked eyes with Diana, her mother's best friend, who was a witch as well and who was apparently the one that saved her from drowning and dying.

"I'm a werewolf now?" Katelyn's brows furrowed slightly.

"Well actually sweetheart, you're a hybrid. A wolf-witch hybrid." Her grandmother was the first to react.

"The curse was triggered only seconds after I pulled you from the water. We are lucky that you triggered it or you would have surely died" Diana's green eyes pierced into her blue ones. Those eyes had stayed with her through the darkness and it made her a little uncomfortable so she quickly asked another question.

"Then why didn't I wake up and turn on the last full moon and why am I not completely healed? It still hurts and I'm sore but it has been like a month! I feel like a sack potatoes."

"I spelled that ring of yours Katalyna." Katelyn looked at her grandma and then at her hand, looking at the ring Klaus gave her. "If vampires can wear jewellery that helps them cheat the curse of the sun don't you think that werewolves can also use such tricks to make sure that they don't have to turn on the full moon. You can control your turning now, with the help of a little magic " Katelyn simply nodded in understanding.

"and as for your other question." Diana was the one to continue the conversation. "You aren't completely healed because you were injured very bad. To be honest I didn't think you'd make it at all. When I pulled you onto the shore you were you were bleeding very heavily and your heart stopped four times throughout the first two weeks. But every time you came back stronger. You're definitely a fighter but it took both magic, supernatural healing and a lot of stitches to help you."

Katelyn's eyes went wide, her heart stopped four times….that explains it. "Will the wound on my stomach ever completely heal?" Luciana took her granddaughter's hand.

"I'm afraid that it will leave a small scar sweetheart but it will continue to heal faster now. I think it will heal in the coming week or so we'll see if we can take the stitches out next weekend…but you'll be sore for a few more days. So you shouldn't move too much, don't stretch or lift heavy things it might still rip. We are just so lucky that you made it."

Katelyn drank the rest of her tea and stood up. She was more secure on her legs now and she quickly went upstairs to change into some descent clothes. Her grandmother had picked up some clothing for her just to be sure. Katelyn struggled to pull on shorts and quickly gave up when they stung against her wound. She went through the pile of clothes and found a flowy light yellow summer dress that fell just above her knee. Perfect, easy to put on and it won't cling to my body. She slowly descended the stairs and went over to her grandmother's rental car's keys.

"Where are you going Katalyna?" Luciana's voice was strict. She really thinks I'm going to let her drive a car?!

"Home, I need to see my brother." When she saw the disapproving look of her grandmother she got irritated. "I have to see them grandma, they think I'm dead! Tyler and I have been through a rough patch but if I'd be in his shoes I would've wanted to know that my sibling is still alive. I'm just gonna show my face and we'll see where it goes from there"

"Katelyn there is a reason why I let your friends and brother think you had died. I want you to come back to Italy with me. You are not safe around them, this is better for you." This infuriated Katelyn.

"I'm more than capable to decide what's good for me….I'm turning 18 in a few days so I can make my own decisions! You told me that Elena became a vampire after the accident and that's why I triggered my curse, Matt was also in the accident and I have no idea what's going on with Tyler, Bonnie, Caroline and Klaus…Don't tell me that I'm not going over there because I am. So you can either come with me and drive me there or I'll do it myself."

Luciana rolled her eyes and used her magi to fling the car keys out of Katelyn's hands. "You are not going Katie, that's final."

"Grandma, I love you and respect you but if you don't drive me there so help me I will walk there….hell I will saddle up my horse and ride there if necessary. I will get there either way but I'd would be a lot easier and a lot less painful if you'd just drive me.

Luciana shook her head at her stubborn granddaughter but knew that it wouldn't be fair to forbid her from seeing her family and friends. Thus she took Katelyn's arm and helped walked to the car. "Alright but you'll be back in bed before 8 p.m. You might feel better but you're still weak."

Carol and Tyler walked back into the house after they had visited Katelyn's memorial stone that they had put up in the garden. Tyler still couldn't believe his little sister was gone. They had spent their last moments fighting and now he couldn't apologize to her.

Tyler was jolted from his thoughts when he saw two strange men standing in the foyer of the house. "Who the hell are you two?"

Carol put her hand on her son's arm in an attempt to ease his suspicions. "Tyler, it's okay. They're here for your protection." Ever since that vampire hunter had come to town about a month ago Tyler had been in danger and Carol felt bad for not being able to protect her son so she desperately searched for help.

"More deputies?" Tyler huffed slightly and was about to walk to his room when he stopped in his tracks due to a familiar voice.

"Not exactly." Klaus walked into the foyer with another hybrid behind him.

"They're hybrids." Tyler stated glaring at Klaus.

"I was halfway to Chicago" both the city and the population he heard a little voice inside him say before he continued "when I heard you were attacked. I hoped to leave Mystic Falls for good, but duty calls." Klaus smirked slightly.

"Nice to know you care."

Klaus resisted an eye roll. "I don't. I should have killed you after the way you treated your sister and the little stunt you and your friends pulled on me. Stopping my heart, leaving me in a coffin to rot while Katelyn wondered around unprotected."

Tyler paled slightly at the mention of his sister's death. "Yeah well I've been punished enough, my little sister is gone….and I could have protected her if you hadn't used my body for an escape hatch so I guess the blame goes both ways."

Klaus shrugged of the guilt, his plan to forget her and stop caring entirely was not working as well as he wanted to but it eased his pain slightly when he was ignorant about it and focused on other things. "Anywho, you hybrids are a dying breed. I can't make more of you, and I won't have anyone take liberties with the ones I have left. Not even with the one's I loathe."

He turned on his heel and began to walk out of the foyer and back to the parlor. "Consider them your new bodyguards."

"We can still head back to the cottage if you want to, wait a little longer dear." Her grandmother had parked the car a block away from the Lockwood mansion and Katelyn was nervously playing with the fabric of her dress. "You just woke up from a coma a few hours ago, surely they would understand…."

Katelyn shook her head. "No grandma, I want to go….I just don't know what to say."

Luciana caressed her granddaughter's cheek. "It will come to you when you see Tyler and sometimes words aren't necessary. Now if you really want to do this you should just go and get it over with." She started to drive and reached to Lockwood property. "Do you need help to get inside or do you want me to go back to the cottage and wait for you there?"

"I think I can manage grandma. I'll call you if necessary" Katelyn kissed her grandmother's cheek and slowly walked up the steps in front of the mansion. She hesitated but then reached out and knocked on the door. It took about 4 seconds before it was opened and she locked eyes with Tyler.

She couldn't help but smile whilst tears formed in her eyes when she saw the look on his face. "Tyler."

Tyler was on the couch watching some TV when he heard a knock on the front door. He didn't bother to see who it was and opened it. He froze when his eyes fell on the petite brunette girl in front of him. She's dead…I'm dreaming, this isn't real. His mouth opened but no words came out. He saw her soft smile and the tears in her eyes and he was sure that she had the kindest face he had ever seen. It was only then that he realized how much he missed her and regretted hurting her. How could he have hurt his little sister, his heightened emotions were no excuse….she had the kindest face, the most loving soul and somehow he always took her for granted.

"Tyler…." She was the first one that managed to speak. Her small hand reached out and and touched his shoulder. She saw a tears forming in her big brother's eyes, tears she had never seen for Tyler never cried. Katelyn hugged him burying her head in his chest. He didn't hug her back he just stood there. When she pulled away she was that he was in denial as tears fell from his eyes whilst looking down at her. "Tyler" she grabbed his face and forced him to look at her. "I'm alive…I'm real…."

He couldn't hold back a sob when he softly hugged her, as if she could break as if she would disappear once he touched her. "I'm sorry….I'm so sorry for treating you so wrongly but you're alive….how are you alive…."

She bit her lip when he hugged her, her wound still hurt. "I'll explain everything but can I first come in?"

"Yes, No….of course." She giggled when her brother was still slightly out of his mind. When Katelyn stepped into the house she saw a couple of unfamiliar man and her werewolf senses picked up what they were.

"What's with all the testosterone? Hybrid book club"

Tyler chuckled at the sarcasm, just like he remembered her….she was really here. "I'm on house arrest."

"Says who, Carol? I thought those days were over"

"Not my mom, Kat…." Tyler gave her a look and was about to say Klaus when he saw that Katelyn's attention was no longer on him but on something down the hall. He turned slightly to see a pale, flabbergasted Klaus staring at them, or rather at Katie in disbelief.

Klaus walked into the study of the Lockwood house and leaned against the doorway whilst observing a girl that was looking at a picture of Katelyn and Tyler from a couple of years ago.

"You're a new face." The brunette girl turned around and looked him over.

"and I take it from your accent you're an old one. Klaus." Klaus smirked slightly.

"My reputation precedes me."

The girl shrugged. "It does, I've heard many things, a little bad but mostly repulsive." Her response made him think of Katelyn she would've said something like that.

Klaus wanted to continue their conversation when suddenly he felt a shudder down his spine. His hybrid hearing picked up some noises from downstairs and he thought he was going mad for he was certain that he heard Katelyn's voice. He focussed his hearing again and then heard that odd giggle that used to make him smile. "Impossible…" He murmured as he sped out of the study and towards the sound.

Once he reached the foyer he stopped. What if this was just a dream, an illusion, she was dead. Gone forever, he had tried to move on now it had been a month….the things he had done, she would never look at him again if she knew….no, she couldn't just be alive, she would've come for him. He cautiously stepped into the foyer and his eyes fell on her.

"Says who Carol?" Suddenly her eye looked right into his, their blue eyes clashed with each other. They both didn't hear what Tyler said as they just stared at each other. She looked like an angel, the light yellow summer dress, the baby blue eyes and the curly golden brown hair….is she really here? All his emotions flood back in at the sight of her, love dominating all others.

"Klaus…" It sounded so good to hear her say his name again.

"You're alive." She heard the uncertainty and emotion in his voice as his eyes teared up. He had not moved from his spot.

"I am" She smiled brightly as she started to run towards him and he used his vampire speed to get to her. His arms encircled her waist and picked her up around, hugging her tightly against him. "You're alive" His soft British voice whispered again. He wanted to never let her go but quickly did when she groaned in pain. Her hand went to where her wound was and she took a few deep breaths to fight through the pain.

"Love?" Klaus gently held her shoulder as he looked her over. She was different, he could sense it….She was more like him. A smile threatened to appear on his face when he realized what she was, what she had become.

"It's okay…I'm fine. My wounds haven't completely healed and I'm really tired" She saw that Tyler and Klaus had many questions.

"I'll answer all your questions but first I really need to sit down." Katelyn used the small decoration tables for support as she walked through the foyer but the pain only increased with every step. She had been on her feet to long and that little sprint towards Klaus hadn't done much good either. She knew she was moving like a turtle and blushed slightly but then two arms picked her up and Klaus held her bridal style.

"Allow me to help you there little wolf." Katelyn smirked at how quickly he had figured out the most significant change that had happened to her and secretly adored the new nickname. She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned her forehead against the side of his head.

Tyler however bit his cheek in irritation when Klaus carried his sister through the house. Klaus sat her down on the couch and sat next to her slinging one arm around her shoulders. She leaned into his side and Tyler sat across from them.

Both Klaus and Tyler remained silent for about a minute and the silence made Katelyn uncomfortable. "Guys I'm not gonna break down just shoot." Tyler was the first to ask a question.

"How….how did you survive?"

"Elena died in the accident and the accident sort of happened because I was on that bridge. It triggered my curse." She flashed her goldish wolf eyes at them before she continued. "Diana, my mom's old friend, heard the crash when she was out for one of her night walks. She pulled me from the water, saved my life."

"Stefan said that there was no way you could've survived, He told all of us you were far beyond saving" Klaus nodded agreeing with Tyler's statement he had forced the Salvatore to tell him exactly what he had seen that night.

"Even as a wolf you could not have recovered from that love." Katelyn smiled softly at the two men.

"Well it was touch and go for a while. I came close to dying, they say my heart stopped four times…" Klaus flinched hearing how close it came to losing her forever. "and as you can see I've not completely healed yet but I think I can heal better than the average wolf because I'm not just a wolf….I'm a hybrid."

Tyler's eyebrows furrowed for a moment. "No, no not like you and Klaus. I'm a witch and a wolf….I didn't kill anyone through magic so I remained a witch."

Klaus had one question nagging at him since the moment that he had seen her again. He was afraid to ask it, afraid for the answer but he had to know. "Why did you not let any of us know that you were still alive?"

Tyler joined in seeing that was also what he really wanted to know. "Yeah Kat, we've been mourning you for over a month. You know how hard it was on us…Caroline almost turned off her humanity, so did I…..I mean was there really no way to reach out to us? Or didn't you want us to know?"

Katelyn was slightly hurt by those words. They really think I'd abandon them like that. She decided to tell them the truth but was slightly bold when saying it because Tyler's assumptions had set her off. "I didn't reach out because I was in a coma." Klaus turned to face her fully, concern settling in his eyes and Tyler's face blanked.

"When did you uhhh." Katelyn cut her brother off.

"Wake up? This morning." Klaus looked Was she insane…she shouldn't even be up.

"You woke up from a month long coma this morning love… you should be in bed…Is it really wise to walk around like this" He voiced his thoughts and that earned him a scoff.

"You sound like my grandma." Klaus smirked at the attitude. .

There was a knock on the door and Tyler went to open it leaving Katelyn and Klaus in the living room. Katelyn could softly hear Caroline's high pitched voice and wanted to stand up and head over to the front door but Klaus tightened his grip on her.

"Oh no, you're staying with me little wolf…" Katelyn smiled at him when she saw the desire in his eyes. "I want to have you to myself for a moment"

"Do you now?" She teased him in a slightly seductive voice. "and how do you plan on making me stay." Klaus didn't need much encouragement and leaned down kissing her passionately. She was alive….she was here. He kissed her like never before, he thought he had lost her forever and now she was back.

She hungrily kissed him back and ran her hands through his short curls. He sparked a flame in her that no one else ever could.

She felt the soft rub of his stubble against her chin and she wanted more in fact she wanted all of him. Katelyn moved on top of Klaus and straddled his lap kissing him deeply. One of Klaus's hands cupped her ass and the other slowly slid up her thigh under her dress. He paused for a moment when he felt the large bandage covering the wound. One of Katelyn's hands grabbed the one on her stomach and she entwined their fingers silently telling him it was okay.

He then heard Tyler's footsteps heading back and stopped. God he wanted her but this wasn't the right place or right time. "Your brother is coming" She pouted a little but turned slightly remaining on his lap but sitting in a more appropriate way. She was able to sneak in another quick kiss before her brother entered the room and Klaus's smirk grew as he softly let his hand glide down her spine.

She shuddered at the touch but couldn't react the way she wanted to because Tyler grimaced at them as he entered. When Tyler was distracted for a moment she leaned towards Klaus's ear. "Now that's not fair, I'll get you back for that later" She bit his earlobe before quickly sitting up straight.

Tyler paced through the room "Where did Caroline go?! I wanted to see her."

"She uhm had to leave."

"Did she or did you send her away because you didn't want her to see a certain someone?" When Klaus saw Katelyn look at him he continued.

"Not you love…..The other girl that was in the house, Hayley I believe."

"Where is she?" Tyler glared at the hybrid.

"Ah I heard her leave but don't worry she took the backdoor so Caroline and Katelyn wouldn't see." Katelyn was annoyed that she didn't know what's going on. Was Tyler cheating on her best friend?

"Whatever you think you know…." Tyler walked closer to the duo on the couch but Klaus cut him off and Katelyn got of his lap.

"Tyler? What the hell is going on?" When she didn't get an answer she turned to Klaus. "Niklaus?"

"I don't know anything but I've put together a pretty convincing picture." She saw his smug smile and her annoyance grew. "Why don't you tell me where my imagination deviates from reality…" He looked at Tyler as he got up and started circling around him.

"You went off to the Appalachians to break my sire-bond. There you met a pack of werewolves, begged them for help. Among them was a girl. She was gorgeous with the same animal instincts as you. Emotions ran high, inhibitions ran low." Neither Tyler nor Katelyn liked the story.

"Stop it!" Tyler angrily hissed.

"Tyler tell me you didn't." Kate bit her lip praying that he didn't do what Klaus was implying. Klaus however was determined to get Tyler to confess.

"Then in a moment of weakness, the thick sexual tension became something much more real." Tyler snapped as anger overthrew him and he punched Klaus in the face. Klaus retaliated by grabbing Tyler's hand and started to squeeze it breaking the bones. "and Caroline has no idea." Tyler was about to throw another punch when Katelyn stretched out the pull him away. She yelped in pain as the action tore her stitches open and doubled over slightly.

Klaus quickly kicked Tyler's knee sending him to the floor and he was next to Katelyn in an instant supporting her and rubbing her back to sooth the shot of pain. "What is it love?"

"I think I tore my stitches." She hissed through clenched teeth whilst she was growing pale in pain. He bend down and picked her up into his arms. When he walked out of the room shooting a final glare at Tyler that clearly stated 'this isn't over.'

"Where do you want me to take you little wolf? Hospital?" She shook her head as she tightened her grip around his neck.

"No take me to the cottage, Diana is a nurse she can sow me back together." She said with a sour face and like that he sped away, carrying her in his arms.

The front door of the cottage was slightly ajar and Klaus kicked in open further as he walked in. An invitation wasn't necessary since he had already been invited in. His presence apparently startled to two older women in the living room because they both jolted up from their seat.

Luciana hurried over to him when she saw that he was carrying her granddaughter in his arms. Katelyn looked paler than this morning but she gave her grandmother a tiny, tired smile.

"What happened?" Luciana directed the question to Klaus a little suspicious of the man since she could sense that he was a hybrid.

"I'm okay Nonna, I just tore my stitches" Katelyn looked at her grandmother for a moment before looking back at Klaus whose eyes were on her. "You can put me down now."

Klaus looked at her incredulously, she really wanted to start walking with an open wound? She is clearly still in pain. "You are joking right?" Klaus saw the dead serious look on her face. "I am not letting you walk until that wound of yours has been treated." Katelyn opened her mouth to protest.

"You can argue with me all you want tomorrow, first that wound needs to be closed and then you need some rest love." Kate opened her mouth again only to be cut off by her grandmother this time.

"I agree with the young man Katalyna. You might feel a lot better but it has been enough excitement for one day" Luciana then looked at Klaus "follow me, her room is upstairs."

Klaus followed her and tried not to chuckle when he saw that Katelyn eyes we squeezed together in annoyance. She however did notice the smirk on his face and the amusement in his eyes "What?" Katelyn asked still hissing slightly in pain.

"Nothing love, I just missed you." He settled her down on the bed and she grabbed his hand pressing a kiss to it. Klaus looked at her with a spark of happiness in his eyes after that sweet gesture but guilt from his actions in the last month nagged at him.

"I would say I missed you more but it feels like I saw you yesterday since I don't have many memories of being in that coma." Diana walked in with some of her 'doctor gear' as Katelyn often jokingly called it.

Klaus made to walk away thinking it would be inappropriate to stay in the room but Katelyn's grip on his hand tightened which made him look at her. "Will you please stay?" Klaus looked at Katelyn's grandmother unsurely. Was he really seeking approval from someone? He was a thousand years old but he never actually been in a situation like this.

Luciana had already figured out who he was, the accent gave it away and she knew that Katelyn was involved with one of the Mikaelson's. When she saw his questioning gaze she smiled slightly, at least he was polite enough to see if she was okay with it. Luciana dipped her head to show him that it was alright.

"I will always stay with you Katalyna…." His mind flashed back to a long time ago. He had said those exact same words to Rebekah once, when she had been scared as a child. No matter what He then realized how much he had missed Rebekah, the way that they had parted….He had been unjust to her, he would make it right again.

Katelyn tensed a little when she saw the large needle with the aesthetic in Diana's hand. She knew that Diana was going to stick it into the wound to get a direct effect and she knew that it was going to hurt like hell.

"Katie you need to relax, if you are tense and keep moving around then it will only hurt more." When Katelyn was not able to relax Diana looked at the young man next to Katelyn's bed. Klaus winked at her and then touched Katelyn's face making her look at him.

"Nik I love your pretty blue eyes but if you think that that is going to distract me from….." He silenced her with a kiss and her snarky comments were lost against his lips as she kissed him back softly. She let out a little gasp as the needle punctured the wound but Klaus kissed her again.

He pulled away and looked over at Diana who nodded that it was done.

"Best distraction tactic ever." Katelyn said. She heard her grandmother chuckle from the other side of the room. Apparently so did Klaus for he got up and walked over to Luciana. Katelyn was rather amused by the scene and curiously watched as Klaus introduced himself.

"If I am to kiss your granddaughter I suppose a proper introduction is in order. It's an honour to meet you Mrs Guarigione, my name is Niklaus Mikaelson but please call me Klaus" He kissed the top of Luciana's hand and Katelyn rolled her eyes at him.

"It is nice to finally meet you Klaus, I have heard a lot about you."

"Hopefully not all bad." He said in a teasingly manner to ease the awkwardness of the moment.

"I've heard stories but then I guess they were nulled by my granddaughter's pleads of undying love for you." Klaus smirked at that but Katelyn opened her mouth in shock….did her grandma just….

"Nonna! Perché voi dite che. Okay, mi raccomando, non mettermi in imbarazzo davanti a lui!"

"No need to feel embarrassed little wolf." Her mouth opened even wider when he apparently understood what she said to her grandmother. A blush settled on her cheeks and she just stared at him in disbelief. Then again, she shouldn't have been surprised.

"Yes I understood what you said. A thousand years on this earth and you'll find yourself learning foreign tongues out of boredom."

The blush increased and Diana chuckled slightly as she finished off the last stitch. "Well at least he managed to get some colour back on those cheeks of yours."

Klaus chuckled at her face. Unbelievable they are teaming up to tease me! She glared at the chuckling hybrid. "I would throw that hairbrush at you." Her eyes trailed towards the hairbrush on the nightstand. "But then I would feel sorry for the brush. Besides I'll get you back once I'm out of this bed Mikaelson."

"I'm look very much forward to it my love." Klaus's phone suddenly beeped and he read a text message that Damon send him. He was needing assistance with the vampire hunter in town….Klaus looked up at Katelyn and saw that she was slowly getting more tired.

"Seems that I have to leave Kate." He walked over to her and pressed a kiss against her forehead.

"Why, what is going on?" She felt a bad vibe and it worried her. She didn't want anything to happen to Klaus, especially now that she couldn't come with him to intervene with magic.

"Nothing to worry about." When she cocked and eyebrow and gave him a look that said 'really, you want me to believe that?' he added "I will be back soon, I promise" Since the other's had left the room she grabbed the collar of his jacket and pulled him down for another kiss.

"You better keep that promise." He gave her a smug look as he turned and left her room.

Yay they're back together but it seems that Klaus has a somewhat guilty conscious. Will they for once be able to be happy together without any real trouble, will it last? Or is it just impossible to be together with Klaus Mikaelson?

Tell me what you think….
