Katherine Piece watched Elijah's strong back as he walked away from her again. It shouldn't have come as a surprise. After all this was not the first time, he had left her, however this time she was pissed. Even more than the first time. How dare he! How fucking dare he?!

His lunatic brother had screwed him over several times, and he was still choosing him over Katherine. Over a woman he had lusted over for 500 years. What kind of idiot was he?

The worst part was that he hadn't even taken the cure with him. Morally uptight bastard that he was. He told her she should keep it and try to create a deal with Klaus on her own accord. As if that was going to happen, she though bitterly, she wouldn't be near Klaus if her life dependent on it. Except this time, it wasn't her life. It was her freedom.

Katherine could see it slipping away with every step Elijah took. Her freedom was gone, and it was all Klaus and Elijah's fault. Those damn Mikaelson brothers and their sneaking around. Of course, they weren't entirely to blame. If no humanity Elena Gilbert and clingy sidekick Rebekah Mikaelson hadn't come to her little town none of this would have happened. She and Elijah would probably be having sex him right now.

Damn Elijah. Damn Klaus. Damn Rebekah. Damn Elena. Damn those Salvatore brothers. Just damn. Damn. Damn.

Katherine suddenly stopped in the middle of the pavement as a thought entered her mind. The cure. She still had it. Elijah had been too holier than thou to take it, which meant Katherine still had the upper hand.

She quickly went over to the red headed woman's house in the center of town. The woman she had compelled to keep the cure safe from prying eyes. The compelled woman smiled when she saw Katherine before dropping an old jewelry box in her hand. She opened it and her body relaxed. The cure.

Now the question was, what was she going to do with it? She couldn't simply walk up to Klaus and ask for her freedom. He would laugh in her face, take the cure, and kill her. No, Katherine wanted revenge. She wanted to wipe that smirk off Klaus' face. She wanted to cause him pain.

And besides she suddenly didn't really care about her freedom. After all she had outrun Klaus for 500 years. So, what if she had to outrun him for another 500 years. All Katherine wanted to do was piss off Klaus.

But what could she do to cause him pain? Finn and Kol were dead. She didn't have the guts to harm Elijah even if she was mad at him. Rebekah was no weakling, and she would definitely fight back. So, who could she harm?

Caroline.

The picture of the former Miss Mystic Falls suddenly appeared in her mind. According to the rumor mill, Klaus was obsessed with the blond. Katherine had no idea why since Caroline's voice was whiny and her control freakiness could drive anyone insane. But Klaus cared about her.

"Sorry Caroline," Katherine murmured as she stared at the cure in her hand. "I guess you'll just be collateral damage."

"And I always thought you were the smart one. I guess I was wrong."

Elijah Mikaelson turned around from the suitcase he was packing to look at his baby sister. Rebekah Mikaelson was staring at him with a disapproving look. "Well, everyone makes mistakes." He said slowly.

"Well, you have made this particular mistake twice," Rebekah spat. "Honestly, Elijah didn't you learn from last time? Katherine is an evil bitch who is only looking after herself. What on earth convinced you to trust her again? Don't tell me it was the sex."

"I don't want to talk about, Katherine." Elijah replied hating the sound of her name on his lips. "More importantly have you thought about my proposition. About coming to New Orleans to meet up with Klaus?"

"Are you kidding? No. My days of running after our lunatic brother are done." Rebekah announced pressing her lips together. "If you want to run around playing babysitter that's fine, you do that. Me, I'm going to stay here and look for the cure."

Caroline Forbes put her hands on her hips as she looked at the table decorations she had just made for prom. She gave a frustrated sigh as she pulled the plastic flowers out of the ceramic vase. It looked so cheaply made, like something you go out of the dollar store.

After the year they all had, she needed prom to be perfect. Oh, well it seemed she would have to call Missy from the Miss Mystic Falls decoration committee and compelled the overworked woman to do the arrangement for the Mystic Falls High graduating class.

There was a knock on the door and she went to go answer it. She was surprised when she saw a familiar brunette standing in the doorway. Elena. What was she doing here? she though. As far as she knew no humanity Elena was probably drowning puppies with Damon.

Had she come to apologize? Caroline doubted it. "What do you want?" she demanded.

The brunette tilted her head, a slow smirk appearing on her lips. "Sorry about this, cupcake"

Katherine. The name entered her head before the rest of her body could react. Before she knew it, Katherine had pressed her against the wall. She was older than Caroline. Stronger too. No matter how hard she tried pushing her away, it was no use.

"Katherine," she hissed at her. "What the hell did I do to you?"

"You did nothing," Katherine admitted as she continued pressing the blond against the wall, smashing the back of her head against it. "Unfortunately, your bff Elena caused me to lose my one shot of getting my freedom from Klaus."

"What the hell are you talking about you psychopath?" Caroline asked through gritted teeth. Leave it to Katherine to attack without giving an explanation.

"Elena went crying to Elijah about how I murdered little Gilbert," Katherine replied, her voice growing angrier by the second. "Of course, because of poor, precious Elena, Elijah has refused to help me secure my freedom from Klaus. Do you see why I'm a little pissed off?"

Caroline was struggling to breath since Katherine's thin hands were around her neck, "What the hell does that have to do with me?"

"Easy. I am determined to give Klaus a little bit of his own medicine. Unfortunately, I can't get close to him or his siblings, but rumor has it that apparently, he adores you," Katherine smirked as she reached into her pocket for the cure. "I really am sorry for this Caroline, if it makes you feel any better out of Elena's dopey friends you are my favorite."

Caroline could barely process what was going on, Katherine's grip was so tight she was blocking out all air. Suddenly Caroline felt something bitter in her mouth before Katherine jammed her jaw close.

Her blue eyes widened as she choked out a response, feeling something bitter inside her mouth. What the hell had Katherine fed her? The last thing she saw before she passed out were Katherine's brown eyes.
