Hi everyone, I'll keep it short for once :) Thanks for reading the story…it means a lot. Now as an answer to the reviewers (by now you guys probably know how much I appreciate it!)
Geminigurl89: As Kol once said in the series (I believe it's later in season 4 though) Many witches know about Silas and that he should stay buried, Luciana is definitely one of them but there is an interesting back story as to why Kat's grandmother doesn't want her family to be involved with anything that has to do with Silas. And as for your other comment, I think your right and I think that Katelyn knows that she did something that can't really be justified.
Militato123: Don't worry, you are going to see plenty of drama coming up….As for who is or actually are going to die and how….I have got a big surprise up my sleeve and I think you'll all like it but I'm not going to spoil anything else about it. Let's just say that I'm building up to a rather shocking chapter and I can't wait to write and publish it!
Lenna: Yaay I loved your review again :) Kol of course isn't aware yet about the fact that the cure is with Silas but trust me he'll be made aware and then things will start to change…Katelyn and Klaus will have a bumpy road ahead of them let's just hope that Klaus will listen to her (or not cuz who knows) As I said to one of the other reviewers. I got something big in mind and well…some heads are gonna roll pretty soon. I'm very happy that you said the story shows a different side to Damon and Elena's relationship. I never hated them in the show but I think they were being selfish at times and it was one of my aims to show that in the story. Once again thank you for the review!
Galwidanatitud: Yeah, It is not going to be a fun ride but then what would life be without a little drama and well every clouds got a silver lining. Or as Klaus once said "That kind of love never dies." They do love each other but well dating Klaus can't be easy.
Adela: You'll find out soon, that's for sure.
Guest (with no name): Glad to see you so excited for an update ;)…well here you go, hope you'll enjoy
So here it is chapter 29: We all go a little mad sometime
"we will be landing on Richmond international airport in 15 minutes, would you like a final refreshment miss?" Katelyn closed the book that she was reading and sat back in her chair.
"I'd like another glass of champagne please." She heard Klaus huff across from her, they hadn't spoken a word since their fight yesterday and to say that this flight had been an uncomfortable one was a vast understatement. This would have to be her fourth glass…and it was only 8 AM in Virginia "On second thought, give me a bottle" She whispered to the steward who smiled down at her.
"Alright that's enough." Klaus sped over to the steward "You are going to forget about the champagne, now leave." He took another step forward and sat down next to Katelyn.
"Are you still mad love? Because I have gotten over it." He grabbed her hand and she couldn't get herself to pull away, instead she looked into his eyes.
"No, I'm no longer angry or mad….I'm disappointed. I thought you had grown or moved on or whatever you want to call it but now I see that you are still only out for power as in hybrids. You would be much stronger if you had a united family instead of an uncontrollable bunch of strangers that fear you" She averted her eyes and looked at their entwined fingers.
"That is not true, I do not only strive for power alone I also want you, I meant what I said….I love you."
"and your family?"
"What about my family….." She noticed that his eyes hardened.
"Family is often at the same time your greatest strength and your greatest weakness Niklaus." When he remained quiet she continued. "I want you to un-dagger Rebekah, she doesn't deserve this."
"I can not do that."
Katelyn pulled her hand out of his. "Then we have nothing to talk about."
She's trying to manipulate you…. A little voice in the back of his mind spoke up. She makes you weak. He refused to have her control him. "Fine."
"Fine." Katelyn turned her head and looked out of the window. If I have to fight you on this I will, no matter how much I love you.
Katelyn opened the door to the Lockwood mansion and Klaus walked in with her, carrying her suitcase. They might be fighting but he still cared for her.
Chris, one of Klaus's hybrids, walked through the hall and headed for the living room, a bottle of vodka in his hand. Katelyn heard some loud laughter from the living room and raised her eyebrows when she recognized it to be a girl's but not someone she knew. She walked over to the sound with Klaus on her heels and was greeted by a girl with brown hair and hazel eyes.
"Who are you and why are you drunk in my house?" At the sound of Katelyn's voice the girl looked up and smiled at her.
"You must be Katelyn, pretty little sister, back from the dead, little rebel dating the enemy."
"Ah, I see…Feisty brunette wolf chick Tyler once mentioned…..Hadley?"
"Hayley."
"What is going on?" Klaus asked Chris who stood there looking petrified by Klaus's sudden appearance and apparently unwilling to be the bringer of bad news.
Hayley walked over to Chris and pulled the bottle of vodka from his hands filling her shot glass.
"I'll have one of those…." Katelyn eagerly took the shot glass that Hayley had poured for her.
"I like you." Hayley said to Katelyn before eying Klaus without any form of fear in her eyes. "to answer your question, you send Dean to his death, we are paying our respects." She raised her glass as a toast and downed it soon to be followed by Katelyn.
"I like you too." Kate answered after seeing how Hayley talked to Klaus, not many dared to do that. Klaus let it go, worried about something else as he stepped towards Chris "and what of the hunter?"
"last I heard, Elena Gilbert killed him." Katelyn could see in Klaus's eyes how frustrated he was as he walked out of the room.
"What are you smiling for?" Hayley had turned to Kat. Who had dropped herself into one of the seats after pouring another shot for herself.
"Huh two things actually….one Elena, aka little miss perfect, killed someone and two this put a kink in Klaus's stupid plan. Let's just say that hunter being dead makes my life a lot easier" Hayley cocked an eyebrow.
"From what I heard you were all team Klaus…."
"Oh please, you look like a girl who knows not to believe what everyone says. I don't condone all of Klaus's actions and we are currently fighting over one of them….He can't compel me and he doesn't control me….I'm not on any team…I can think for myself you know" She downed a third vodka shot and could feel how the alcohol from both the vodka and the champagne during the flight were starting to work its magic. "I'm going upstairs, I really need a nap…..have another shot for me" She winked at the hybrids and Hayley before walking out of the room.
On the way to her room she bumped into Tyler. "Ty! I'm back…..miss me?" She hugged him tightly and he could smell the alcohol in her breath.
He chuckled as he wrapped his arms around her answering her hug "Sure….uhm need some water there Kat?" He let go of her holding her at arm length and giving her a knowing look.
"Nah, I'm good, gonna take a nap, by the way Klaus and I are in a fight. I thought that would brighten your day."
Tyler shook his head at her. Yeah, alcohol and his little sister…..not a very good combination. But the news of Klaus and Kate's spat did put an extra pep in his step.
Katelyn heard soft ticks on her bedroom window and opened her eyes from her booze inspired powernap. What now; I only got to sleep for an hour She opened her window and peeked out, frowning when she caught sight of Kol.
"What light through yonder window breaks…." He yelled up at her and she rolled her eyes.
At least he got that Shakespearian quote right, damn it if Tyler knows he's here….. She walked over to her desk and grabbed a piece of paper scrabbling down a note.
'My brother is home so keep it down…..now what the hell do you want?' She crumbled it up. Focussed her magic on the piece of paper and it disappeared. When she leaned out of the window Kol was gesturing for a pen to write a reply. She walked back to her desk and smirked mischievously at her idea.
Instead of using magic to get the pen to Kol, she moved back over to the window and threw the pen down as hard as she could. When it hit an unsuspecting Kol right on the head, he scowled and she sniggered. Not much later a crumbled piece of paper flew through her window.
'such hostility little princess…..we need to talk, if you don't feel like sneaking past two hybrids or coming up with an excuse, jump out of the window….I might be willing to catch you.'
Little princess really? Katelyn sighed but then quickly changed attire, dark jeans, black biker boots and a white shirt with her black leather jacket. God does it feel good to be wearing this. She splashed some water in her face and put her brown curls in a messy ponytail. 5 minutes later she walked back over to her window to see Kol leaning against a tree and fake yawning to mock her.
She climbed into her windowsill and was ready to jump. Kate was quite certain that she could trust Kol as he stood right beneath her, his arms ready to catch her. Her voice was at a hushed tone but she made sure he'd hear her. "If I break any bones jumping down, I will break double the amount in your body with my magic."
Kol smirked at the threat and gestured for her to jump. Okay here I go. Kate didn't close her eyes and it surprised her how calm she was. Kol being Kol had to evoke a reaction and bend through his knees waiting till the last moment to catch her. On the very last moment, when she was about to hit the ground there was the slightest doubt that Kol was going to drop her and she braced for contact but of course it did not come.
Kol stood up straight and didn't set her down on her feet instead he sped away until they were out of earshot. That's when he lowered her to the ground. "I can smell the remains of alcohol in your breath and Niklaus was extra brooding when he swung by the house which leads me to conclude…..you're in a fight." Katelyn glared at him and her reaction confirmed his suspicions "You ARE in a fight….marvellous."
She scowled up at him. "I loathe you…" They both knew that she didn't fully mean that. Sure Kol irritated her to no ends but unlike many people in this town she did not hate him.
"I know….." He replied with a dark yet amused smirk on his face.
"What is it that you want Kol and why would I help you with it?" She crossed her arms over her chest.
"For starters I want to know why Niklaus is keeping the more pathetic doppelgänger on lock down in the mansion and apart from that I want my sister back"
"Okay glad to know we're on the same page about Rebekah so I'll definitely help you with that…wait did you just say Elena is held captive by Klaus?" you're supposed to stay out of this Katelyn…. A little voice said inside her head.
"I was hoping that you would know more about that, I figured that might have to do with your fight."
"Like I'd ever fight with Klaus about Elena….unlike most people in this town Elena is not the centre of my universe." Kol smiled at that, it was one of the reasons why he enjoyed spending time with her.
Think Kat….It has to be related to the whole cure-hybrid creation plan. Then again Connor is dead "But it probably is related….." She fell silent for a moment, her curiosity overthrowing her conscience…..One visit wouldn't hurt right? "Hmmm I need to see Elena….I wanna know why Klaus wants her there…and what she knows. Let's go!"
"Getting to Elena is not going to be easy, Niklaus has got his mindless helpers guarding the door at all time."
Katelyn shrugged and walked over to her car. "I'll get in there." She opened the door and looked over the car at Kol who was about to get into the passenger seat. "We have all day for that, but first…we are gonna get 'Bekah' back."
Kol gave her a warm smile, a smile that she had never seen on him before….his brown eyes were not as cold and hard as they usually were nor were they sparked with mischief, no for once they were sparked with something that could almost be defined as happiness. The expression looked odd but good on him. Katelyn herself copied the smile because for some reason it made her content to see that particular emotion on him, because it meant that she had been right, that even the most spiteful of the Mikaelson's still cared for things, such as his little sister.
"Why are we here, did you feel a sudden call for nature?" Kol teasingly looked at her as they walked through the forest like surroundings.
"I can't very well start a weird wind in the middle of the town and follow it around now can I?" She deliberately bumped her shoulder against him as she walked past him and came to a stop.
"I am curious, why not use a simple locator spell? You have access to my blood, a map is not too hard to get our hands on…." He stopped next to her.
"Because Niklaus has probably used a witch to cloak Rebekah and counter locator spells, now I could go against that magic but I'd like to avoid that, there is an easier way. I know another spell." Intrigued by this Kol gestured for her to start.
The spell should work, she knew it was used to find remains of dead people but Rebekah was technically dead so maybe….It's worth the shot. "Souers et freres, mwen rele sou nou. Mennen me sa me chache." The French words came easy to her and she couldn't help but smile when a sudden wind picked up. "Souers et freres, mwen rele sou nou. Mennen me sa me chache." She repeated and the wind formed a path in front of them. Katelyn grabbed a hold Kol's hand and ran down the path, dragging him along with her.
A few minutes later they ended up at the old Lockwood cellars. Katelyn let out a laugh. "You can't be serious! They hid Rebekah here?! How unoriginal."
Kol chuckled at the sound of her laughter and looked at her rather impressed how cunningly she found a way around the cloaking spell. Yes…she was certainly talented. The tug on his arm snapped him from his thoughts and they walked down the stairs and into the cellars where they found Rebekah's coffin.
"Well, she did always loose in hide and seek when we were little" Kol smirked as he opened the coffin and pulled out the dagger.
"Who used to win?" Kol froze in his place and turned to her with a darkness in his brown eyes. But Katelyn didn't see anger or spite, she saw hurt. Kol stayed silent for a moment taking control of his voice and pushing his emotions away. "Henrik….but that's because we always let him" He hadn't said that name in a long time and bit the inside of his cheek to fight against his feelings. Henrik was the youngest of the Mikaelson siblings, his little brother, the one that he and Rebekah often played with. Henrik had been Kol's favourite partner in mischief and all of the Mikaelson siblings doted on him. When he died….no Kol quickly looked elsewhere then the compassionate blue eyes that were glued on him.
Kate noticed this change in demeanour and her heart filled with sadness for him. She could see how he was struggling with what he felt and the last thing that she wanted was him to turn it off and focus on his usual activities, blood and violence. She understood him now, why he hurt others, why he caused trouble, they were cries for attention, because on the inside he felt empty, alone. Without giving it much thought she took a few steps towards him and wrapped her arms around his torso. He was a great deal taller so she didn't have much choice as to how she'd hug him.
Kol felt the arms wrap around him and looked down at her. The warmth in her eyes and face demanded him to open his heart but still he tried to ignore his need for this hug. It had been such a long time since he had given into really feeling, why do it now? It took him a few seconds but then he lost the battle and wrapped his arms around her, excepting the hug graciously. Even though she was tiny he was surprised to feel a certain safety in her arms, something that as a young child he had often sought and found in Esther's arms whenever he was scared. It felt like he had known her for centuries, like she understood and cared for him and that for some odd reason she excepted all that he was. Pull yourself together, nobody cares…. He pulled out of the hug just as quick as he had decided to give into it.
Kol awkwardly cleared his throat before changing the subject. "Rebekah will take some time before waking up, we could leave her a message and head to the mansion to see our favourite doppelgänger."
"Yeah" Kat looked at the time and smiled at Kol. "It's already late in the afternoon, Klaus will probably be in the grill, which gives us the perfect opportunity"
As Kol scribbled down a message for his sister, Kate couldn't help but let her thoughts wonder to Klaus. She hated to be fighting with him and even though he kept things from her she regretted entering his mind. How could I have done it…..I know what it is like when someone messes with your mind, Klaus did it to me with his compulsion and I resented him for it. She vowed to herself that she would apologize for that action but already feared that un-daggering Rebekah was something that would render her apology to useless for Klaus was going to be fuming.
Kat opened the door to the Mikaelson mansion and looked around. "Looks like I was right, your brother isn't home….makes this a lot easier." She turned around "Which room is it?" Kol led her downstairs and she smiled sweetly at the two hybrids standing guard.
"Back for another round Kol?" The girl, named Kimberly smugly looked at Kol, a certain dare in her voice and eyes….whilst the guy stood up straight and walked over to Kol.
"Seriously Kol, You couldn't get past these two?" Katelyn raised her eyebrows at the original.
Kol bend down to her ear "Don't be fooled darling, It's not just these two, they have back up, upstairs."
Kate shrugged and walked over to the door to Elena's room. "You can't go in there….Klaus said not to let anyone in." The male stuck out his arm to hold Katelyn back.
"I see. I must admit that I'm rather stubborn and determined so…say I don't listen and still try to get in, you will try to stop me right?" She asked lightly and Kol had no idea where she was going with it.
"Right" Both hybrids answered in unison.
"Then again, Klaus must have ordered you to never hurt me…" please let me be right…
Kimberly opened her mouth to retort but closed it not a second later. Kat smirked for that confirmed her thoughts. "So seeing that you can't fight me on this…." She pushed away the hybrids arm and opened the door to the room. Before she entered she turned to Kol and winked at him playfully "I'll tell you what I find out."
Katelyn closed the door, leaving an impressed Kol in the hallway. Her eye fell on Elena sitting on a chair, a rather bewildered look on her face. "Well, you look wrecked." At the sound of her voice Elena turned to look at her.
"Katherine" Elena's voice quivered.
"What? No…It's Katelyn…."
Elena looked absent whilst hatefully glaring at the brunette in front of her. "Shut up!" She remained in the chair crying silently and Katelyn slowly moved towards her. "I made a mistake, I can do better."
"What are you talking about?"
"I am nothing like you!" Elena yelled.
"Are you…..hallucinating? Great, you've lost it….you're insane." Kat sighed for a moment and looked away distracted by an art piece in the room. Klaus had told her a lot about art and his paintings but she had never seen them up close before. They were absolutely beautiful.
She had been so fascinated by the art pieces in the room that she had not expected Elena's sudden move. "I said SHUT UP!" Before Kat even had the chance to fully focus on the girl she was already tackled to the floor.
Elena sat on top of her and used her vampire strength to squeeze her throat cutting of all the air to her lungs. "Stefan will always love me…..my friends will always love me!"
Katelyn began to struggle under the firm hold and her face slowly turned blue. She then managed to throw a punch with her left hand and hit Elena on her temple, startling the girl. Kat then bucked her hips throwing Elena over her and quickly jumped to her feet. Elena had recovered as well and had grabbed a hold of Kat's ponytail and threw her against one of the stone walls.
Katelyn felt something warm stream down her face and throat onto her clothes. When she brought her hand to her head and looked at it, it was drenched in blood. "Damnit Elena I'm not Katherine!"
Elena didn't listen and tried to punch her but Katelyn dodged and kicked Elena's kneecap hard sending the vampire to the floor. She quickly got behind Elena, who was still on her knees and took a hold of her head. "You might be a vampire….but you still fight like a girl." And with a quick movement Kat snapped Elena's neck.
Meanwhile in the grill:
Rebekah trotted into the grill, royally pissed and determined to show her older brother this. Katelyn and Kol had left her a message to come to them first but she just felt so much anger towards Klaus for going through with daggering her.
Her eye fell on him as he sat at the bar alone, drinking a glass of red wine. Lucky for her the bar was as good as empty and no one seemed to be paying attention to her. She let the dagger slip from her sleeve into her hand ready to stab Klaus in the back, literally.
Klaus took a sip from his wine and the sound of footsteps took away his thoughts from Kate, god how he hated fighting with her. He smirked as the steps came to a stop right behind him. "I woudn't." When the person behind him proceeded he used his vampire speed to turn around and take a hold of the pointy end of the dagger.
"Sister, what a surprise…." He narrowed his eyes. "How come you are amongst us again?" He really hoped that his suspicions weren't true.
"That does not matter Nik….now why are you sitting all alone? Fighting with the only person that still cares for you eh?" She knew exactly how to struck a painful cord with him.
Klaus didn't answer her question and instead leaned closer to her. "Who removed the dagger?" His voice was low and promising no good. Within a second he had ripped the dagger from her hands and twirled them around pressing the tip against her chest. "Tell me Rebekah…"
"It was Kol." Klaus chuckled and scoffed.
"Kol would have needed help and I had a strong witch cloak your location. Now I happen to have an idea who helped him but I surely hope that I am wrong. Katalyna…." When Rebekah did not deny it he scowled and felt a sting of betrayal through his gut.
How could she go against him! How dare she conspire with others! His rage grew and he sped away on his search to confront her.
"Niklaus wait!" Rebekah sped after him seeing the state he was in. She had to make sure he wouldn't hurt Katelyn or do something to her that he would eventually regret.
Elena awoke with a slight groan and tried to turn her head when she heard the chanting behind her. Katelyn had her hands on either side of Elena's head and was currently searching through her mind to find anything useful. The connection that she had with Elena kept the vampire in her place as well. Meanwhile Elena was staring I front of her and Katelyn could also see what Elena was hallucinating.
"Bonnie lost her Grams because of you. Her mom was turned into a vampire because of you. You know, she probably secretly hates you. Did you ever think of that? I bet she'd be relieved if you were gone…" Katelyn could hear Katherine's voice through Elena's mind. Well that bitch does have a point. She then quickly got back to the search through Elena's mind.
"Ugh, why is nothing that you know of use to me!" Kat was to distracted by Elena's mind search that she didn't notice the other presence in the room until Elena's mind had conjured the image of Conner the hunter.
Suddenly she felt her connection to Elena break, as her wrists were held by someone. "What are you doing to her?!" Stefan was glaring at Katelyn but Kat just looked between Elena and the open door.
"Stefan?! Don't! She's not in her right mind, she hallucinates…you have to close the door!" Katelyn hadn't even finished her sentence or Elena snapped Stefan's neck from behind.
Elena hit Kat in the head with a lead pipe that she had found somewhere in the room. The impact send Katelyn to the floor and gave Elena the perfect opportunity. "Goodbye Katherine." A high pitched gasp escaped Katelyn as Elena stabbed the lead pipe into her chest with a lot of force. The young vampire fled away through the open door as Kat collapsed, eyes wide and barely able to breathe. The pipe had missed her heart but instead had punctured a lung causing her unbearable pain.
"Kat everything alright?!" Katelyn turned her head to the open door when she heard Kol's voice and hasty footsteps coming down the hall. She was unable to answer him though since the only sound that came from her mouth was high pitched, shuddered breaths. Please help me, please come over here Her silent pleads were answered when Kol appeared in the doorway.
Kol stopped in his tracks and was mortified by the scene in front of him. His eyes were wide as they settled on her, the lead pipe sticking out of her chest and her head bleeding. He could see how her blue eyes were begging him for help as she struggled to stay awake and breathe. He rushed to her side and knelt next to her. "This is going to hurt." His one hand brushed a few strands of hair from her face and then grabbed hold of one of her hands as his other hand took hold of the lead pipe. He looked into her eyes reassuringly in a silent apology as he pulled the pipe out of her chest in one fast movement. The sound that escaped her mouth was one of a wounded animal and she tried to keep in as many painful moans as possible.
"Alright come here." Kol sat on one knee with his other leg up, using it to lean Katelyn's body against as he bit into his wrist. Nik is going to kill me for this… A thought he found both thrilling and worrying. It was going to irritate his brother to no end that he fed Katelyn his blood but then he knew that Klaus would rather have it then have her die. Katelyn latched onto Kol's wrist and drank from him, her wounds quickly started to heal.
Kat's breathing was no longer rugged but it was faster than normal. "T-thank you."
"Of course, if your life ends under my watch I am most certain that I would end up on the wrong side of Nik's white-oak stake." Kol still had one arm around her as she sat up and she elbowed his chest.
"Your concern for my life is undeniable and flattering." Katelyn said, sarcasm strongly laced through her voice.
Kol scoffed whilst standing up and helping her to her feet. A sudden wave of nausea hit Katelyn and she swallowed hard to keep everything down. With the nausea came an unexpected dizzy spell and Kate gripped Kol's arm tightly, closing her eyes for a moment to fight against the black spots in her vision.
"What now?" Kol asked and looked at the grip on his arm and then at her. "Katelyn?" But Kate barely heard him as the light-headedness took over.
"Nothing I'm fine." She lied as she let go of his arm and started to walk out of the room. Kol shrugged and shook his head. He took one last look at the unconscious Salvatore on the floor and smirked at the sight. He then heard a thud from the hall and walked out of the room.
"What the….." He raised an eyebrow when he saw Katelyn's body huddled up on the floor. Did she faint? But I fed her my blood, this can't be due to the injuries. He worriedly picked her up and did a quick check to see if all her wounds had healed. What do I do now? He began walking up the stairs to the main room but stopped when he heard a door slam and a voice thunder through the house.
"Is she here?!" Klaus's eyes flashed yellow for a moment before they settled on his little brother with Katelyn's limp body in his arms. In less than a second Klaus stood in front of Kol.
"Bloody hell…..what happened to her?" Utter shock and worry had replaced the anger in Klaus's face when he saw all the dried up blood on Kat's face, neck and clothing.
"Your lunatic doppelgänger threw a party downstairs, I don't know what happened Niklaus…I fed her my blood. Her wounds had healed but I think she fainted." Klaus frowned.
What if she spirals back into that coma, what if this has to do with her magic. He took Katelyn's body into his own arms and settled her down on one of the couches in the living room.
"Kate?! What did you do to her?!" Rebekah's voice spoke up from behind Klaus and Kol and she made her way to the unconscious girl on the couch. She then looked at both of her brothers with an accusing glare.
"Frankly Rebekah, neither of us did anything. She was alright one moment and the next I found her on the floor." Kol crossed his arms whilst Klaus ignored both of them checking for any abnormalities on Katelyn's body.
Rebekah just shook her head. "Let me get something for her" Kol followed his sister into the kitchen and sat on one of the counters.
"So sister enlighten me….what indiscretion did our bastard brother dagger you for this time?" Rebekah ignored him as she turned on the tap to put some cold water on the rag.
"Aaaaah, come on Bekah, after all the trouble that I went through to un-dagger you, I deserve more than your silence. Now surely you must know what Niklaus is up to"
Rebekah turned to face him and let out a sigh. "Nik is after the cure and so am I"
"The cure?" Kol narrowed his eyes and frowned.
"The cure for vampirism remember, brotherhood of the five…"
Suddenly Kol burst into laughter. "That cure….. Bekah I thought you were smarter than this. Please tell me you do not still have this incessant longing to be human" When he saw the look she shot at him he just rolled his eyes. "Why does Nik want it?"
"For Elena or to destroy it….who knows. He is working with the Salvatores so I could use a little help on my side. What do you say Kol?" Rebekah smiled both sweet and suggestively.
"Going against Niklaus's plans and possibly end up with another dagger in my heart?" He smirked back at her rather malicious. "I'd love to."
Katelyn felt something tepid and moist gently being dabbed against her forehead and neck.
"She's waking up." Kate couldn't immediately place the female voice as she was still a bit in her daze.
"I can see that." Klaus bit out to Rebekah as he continued to softly press the damp cloth against Katelyn's forehead.
Katelyn slowly opened her eyes and blinked against the light in the room. She then focussed her vision a little to the right and looked into Klaus face which held a relieved expression. She pushed herself up into a sitting position and scanned the room seeing all three of the Mikaelson siblings there. Once her eyes settled on Rebekah her smile grew into a beaming one.
It was the first time the two girls really saw each other since Katelyn's accident. Klaus offered his hand to help her after the scare that she had given him by randomly passing out and just to avoid trouble she accepted his help.
"Rebekah! I've missed you!" Katelyn hurried over to the blonde and engulfed her in a hug. Rebekah smiled hesitantly but strongly hugged her back.
"Kates! I'm so, so sorry." Katelyn pulled out of the hug when she heard the crack in Rebekah's voice. "I had heard that you were still alive but I just….I couldn't come to see you, I mean it was my fault that you almost died and…when I started changing my mind to go and see you, Niklaus daggered me…..I'm just." Rebekah looked down. "I'm really sorry."
"Bekah…..don't blame yourself okay. I made the choice to be there on the bridge that night. I had received several warnings not to go but I neglected them all. It was my choice so I'm responsible…Let's just put that night behind us. I'm alive….you're back….that's what matters."
After those words the room fell into a long silence. Kat looked at the three siblings and noticed that the tension in the room had become so thick that you could almost cut through it with a knife. This is not gonna go well.
Next morning:
Katelyn woke up from voices downstairs. 7 AM…..seriously? 7 AM! She didn't bother to change for she recognized Caroline's voice and Care had seen her like this enough times before. She headed down the stairs and into the living room where she saw Tyler, Hayley and Caroline.
"I told him we had his back. I told him if he helped us he'd be free." Tyler said to Caroline.
"I'm sorry to interrupt but mind me asking what's going on? And why you two are having a conversation at 7 AM?!" Hayley was asleep but the other two in the room just noticed her and fell silent.
"Jeremy killed Chris to become a hunter so that Elena got to live" Tyler said angrily.
"Tyler we needed to help our friend!" Caroline said eyeing both the Lockwood siblings.
"Yeah, we helped our friend by handing over another friend." Kat eyed her brother and saw how hard he was trying to keep everything together. Get used to it buddy, that's what people easily do in mystic falls, trade one life for another.
"Chris wasn't…."Caroline began and Tyler interrupted her immediately.
"Chris was a friend, Caroline! He's like me. He's part of my pack. All he wanted to do was be unsired by that disgusting piece of…" It was just then that her realized his little sister was standing in the room and that he might have said to much. If Katelyn were to find out about his plan to take down Klaus by unsiring the hybrids….. He took a quick glance at the brunette and noticed that she was trying to figure out what was behind his words so he decided to change the subject. "How did you get Klaus to agree to give up one of his hybrids?"
"We didn't have to get him to agree to anything. He wanted to punish Chris because he let Elena escape but even worse in Klaus's eyes, he let Katie get hurt." At this Katelyn rolled her eyes. "I uh…I promised to talk to Katelyn if he'd be willing to hand Chris over to us."
"Oh you got to be kiddin me!" Kat put her hands on her hips. "I'm sorry Ty, I know Chris was important to you…..Care we need to talk….NOW." With that the two girls left Tyler behind to wallow in his anger and grief.
Kate dragged Caroline to her room and shut the door behind her. "What is this huh? Are you supposed to play middle man?! I was at Klaus's house yesterday let's just say things didn't end smoothly. There was this thick tension…I mean what would you expect with Kol, Rebekah and Klaus in one house….despite my attempts to get them to talk to each other Rebekah refused and claimed that she was moving into another house not wanting to do anything with Klaus….Kol walked out, after a few rather vile comments and Klaus tried to lecture me on my recklessness and the fact that I teamed up with Kol to get 'Bekah out of her box'. Let's just say Klaus and I are not getting along right now."
"Wait you pulled the dagger out of Rebekah?!"
"She's just a girl like us Caroline….a thousand year old girl but nobody and I mean nobody should have their life controlled like that! Klaus can't just keep stealing their choice or life like that…I mean some of them have missed decades even centuries of their life because of it. It wasn't fair."
Caroline let out an exasperated sigh. "Okay you have a point….but it doesn't mean I like it. Just like you're not gonna like what I'm gonna say next." Care saw how her friend cocked an eyebrow and she continued. "I sorta promised Klaus that I'd get you to be his date to the miss mystic pageant tomorrow and I really don't want to answer to him. You know he'll be upset if I don't hold my end of the deal….just say you'll, go just this once"
This is going to be a disaster. On the other hand, I do need to resolve this issue with him sooner or later…..Caroline's ass is on the line as well. "Fine, I'll go but I hope you didn't promise him a grand apology or something because he can forget that. I'm not completely innocent in this fight but he is no saint either!"
Caroline hugged Katelyn and Kat sighed. "Huh at least I'll have a quiet day today. Maybe I'll go back to bed for another 2 hours"
Care gave her a look that the brunette knew all too well. "Oh no….please tell me you didn't sign me up to volunteer at the build-up "
"I can't plan this entire event myself! The pageant is tomorrow, besides it's right here at your house and you know Carol would definitely appreciate it."
"Ugh….give me a moment to change…..you owe me big time!" With that Katelyn walked into the bathroom. Tomorrow is gonna be a complete disaster…..at least you don't have to face him today. She splashed some cold water in her face. I love him…..he loves me….how bad could it be?
