Chapter 3
General POV
It has been a week since the Strix Party. Marcel is now a member of Strix, though he has assured us that he is doing so to look out for Klaus's best interests. Klaus found out about what Elijah did to Aurora centuries ago and after a massive fight- during which furniture was destroyed and bites were exchanged, Klaus and Elijah have worked out their differences. They are now trying to find out what happened to Rebekah. They have organised a Luncheon with the first sired, in the hopes of trying to figure out what they are up to.
They had barely started, when Freya comes in saying "We are welcoming our enemies to the dinner table now, convenient, given she's the one who has the answers I want". "Oh for heaven's sake, now I have to deal with the long lost sister. Nik please spare me your family's rage and paranoia. It is exactly this kind of lunacy that forced me to steal Rebekah in the first place" says Aurora. "What did you do with her" asked Freya. "No I'm sorry love but this prophecy has you all acting as fools and I've no intention of risking my life to foolishness. Now I can't trust Rebekah with any of you. And I can't trust the silly dear to endure on her own, so I decided to put her someplace safe. Imagine a spot where no harm can come to her. Where in fact no one can possibly track her down. Yes, rest assured Rebekah is perfectly fine, At the bottom of the ocean" says Aurora happily. "You're bluffing! Tell me you're bluffing?" asks Niklaus trying to control his temper. "Oh you should all be thanking me. Rebekah's never been safer. She's plenty of company down there, there's all the little crabs…" Aurora trails of as she suddenly starts to throw up blood, as more blood pours from her nose and eyes.
All eyes were on Freya, who looked just as surprised as the others, when a voice was heard, "My My Aurora, Your lunacy is appearing. Now what do we have here? A social gathering where I'm not invited. Now that is not acceptable" says Katerina walking into the room.
Katherine's POV
"We haven't met before, I'm Katherine Pierce" I say holding out my hand to Freya. "Freya Mikaelson" she replies before grasping my hand. "What are you?" she asks when our palms connect. "All in good time my darling" I reply. I turn to Klaus and nod my head at him and then I turn to Elijah "Hello my love, aren't you going to welcome me" I ask him. "Oh well, we can deal with your lack of conversational skills later. Let's talk about why I came here…Aaaahh!" I yelled as I felt someone bite me and I flung my attacker into the wall. Mentally uttering a spell, I stuck them there. Imagine my surprise when I saw who attacked me. "Hailey! Still trying to one up on your elders I see" I said to her. "Let's see you live now you bitch. Klaus won't heal you since he happens to hate you" she taunted. "Oh my darling little wolf, I see you have forgotten who you're dealing with. Why in the world would I need Klaus to heal me? Foolish little wolf didn't you learn anything while you worked for me" I said to her. Then to the disbelief of them all, I closed my eyes and concentrated, running my palm over the bite as I did so pulling the venom from it, thus allowing the bite to heal. When I opened my eyes I could see their mouths wide open in shock. I could just picture a horde of sheep being able to fit in their mouths and I could not help but laugh, which brought them to their senses immediately.
"Now where were we" I asked before they could question me on what I had just done. "Why isn't my sister waking up" Tristan interrupted me. "Oh good lord. Your still on about your sister, can't you think of anything else", I flicked my wrist and strapped Aurora to her chair, and then I snapped my fingers to wake her up. "Now Aurora, you would do well to keep your mouth shut or else…" I trailed. She nodded her head in acceptance. Freya took a seat next to Klaus. I started to talk "As I was saying, I needed Aya to run some errands for me, but she did not answer my calls. So I decided to track her. Imagine my surprise when I discovered her to be in Marrakech." I turn around and ask "Tell me Tristan, why was Aya in another country without my knowledge? As I recall the Strix have no business there" He averts his head and does not answer. "No answer? Oh well, I was going to let you live but now I've changed my mind. I can't have disobedience among the Strix. After all bad seeds must always be removed" I said. "You won't harm my brother, Klaus won't let you. After all, you need us to give you Rebekah's location" Aurora taunts me.
Hearing this I could not control my laughter. They all looked at me strangely. Once I had gained control of myself, I spoke up "Did you really think I had no idea what the three of you were up to. Aurora next time you decide to drop cargo into the middle of the ocean, check and see what is in the crate." I say to their astonishment. Klaus jumps to feet asking me if where Rebekah is. "She is safe and undaggered. They used a cursed dagger on her, which has given her severe anger issues. She kind of behaves as though she has been possessed. Luckily for everyone, I shipped her off to a safe place, where a coven is trying to get rid of the curse. I did send a white oak ash dagger just in case. I did send her a present. One that she will enjoy immensely. I do believe she once called him the love of her life" I tell him. "The love of her life? What foolishness is this? Which incompetent fool did you send to my sister? Answer me, before I rip your throat out" Klaus yells. I raise my eyebrow at him and say "Again with the death threats. You really need new lines. You do know whom I'm talking about. After all, you two were best friends at one time and I did sire him".
I watch Klaus's face change from confusion to realization and he starts to chuckle as he finally understood whom I'm referring to. "I'm sure Rebekah will enjoy waking up to his face" he says. I see Lucien twitching and I wordlessly strap him to his chair, I then Strap Tristan to just in case. "Now let's talk about how I spent my morning" I said to them, sitting down once again. "I attended a board meeting for the shareholders of Kingmaker Land Development. Due to mismanagement and discrepancies the board unanimously voted to hand over control to the highest shareholder, meaning me." "How is that possible, the majority of shares belong to the financial company called P.I. and it's my company why wasn't I notified about a meeting" Lucien yells.
"You weren't notified because you weren't wanted. You were warned that the board would be keeping a close eye on you but you did not listen. You're spending on research to God knows what has been bleeding the company dry. As for how I own your company now, then next time research the company before selling them your shares. I own P.I; also known as Petrova International" I say and then magically shut his mouth. God he is so annoying I said to myself. I continue "Now I just have to deal with those stupid labs you set up". Lucien starts to squirm as soon as he hears this. This makes me very suspicious. Out of the corner of my eye I see that Klaus has also seen him squirm. What is going on in those labs? I'll have to send some of my own staff to find out. I see Klaus staring intently at me with a question in his eyes. He wants to know about the labs as well. I nod to him to let him know that I will tell him my findings. Which I will because despite our enmity, I have to admit that Klaus is a brilliant tactician. Hell, I might as well take him with me when I check them out. In the meanwhile I'll have to keep these morons alive.
I place a call to some of my trusted men and have them come with the items I requested. In the meanwhile we all just sit in silence. Until it is broken by Klaus asking me how I can do magic when I am a vampire. "I will answer your questions the moment, these brats have been dealt with. And don't even think even think of trying to stop me, especially with Aurora".
