I am so sorry for the late upload. I had intended to upload this chapter last week but due to exams and project submissions, I was delayed.
Disclaimer: I do not own The Vampire Diaries even though I wish I did.
Chapter 4
General POV
"What did she do to you?" Freya asked Katherine. "She destroyed the one place where I felt peace…my sanctuary" Katherine replied. "Siyuan?" Elijah asked, finally opening his mouth. Katherine nods yes. At their confused looks Elijah says "Siyuan is a monastery set high up in the mountains of Tibet. It is run by Chinese monks (who also have healing magic) for the supernatural world. They teach the supernatural to calm themselves and try to find peace, when they are disturbed. I have had to send Katerina there every time I was forced to turn her emotions on" he said to his sibling's surprise. "You mean where you thought you turned my emotions on. My emotions have always been on. Over 500 years together Elijah and you never realized that. I have always accepted full responsibility for my actions, no matter the consequences. After all only the weak turn their emotions off, isn't that right Klaus? Katherine asked much to everyone's shock. Much to the surprise of his siblings Klaus agreed with her.
"You know, one of my sired was there during the time that Aurora was put there. The stories he told me will astonish you" Katherine says changing the topic. She then turns around to Lucien and says "Did you really think she would return your so called love, when she has the eternal love of her darling brother". When Lucien looked confused Katherine said "How daft can you be? You do know that they are sleeping with each other. Apparently she used to spend her time there talking to herself and telling everyone who would listen or those who were in a vicinity about how she missed her brother and what she would do when they are were reunited. Of course, she also alternated with how much she hated him for sending her there and how much she hates the Mikaelsons especially you Elijah". On hearing this everyone turned green and Freya vomited right on Tristan. "Oh well that's was the problem with royalty in the past, they were so intent on power, that they married within their families and unfortunately produced kids that had a few screws loose" says Katherine. "You should know all about that" says Tristan to Katherine. "Oh God No, my parents were not related by blood, just marriage" says Katherine much to everyone's surprise.
Once they had recovered from the shock, Katherine magically got rid of the vomit. Just then her men arrived. When she notices Aya with them, she speeds over and rips out her heart and sets her on fire. She then proceeds to the first sired. She knocks them out and put them on the ground in a row. She then creates a circle of salt around them, with lit candles outside the boundary. "What do you intend to do with them?" asked Freya. "Well I intend to take a page out of Klaus's Playbook" says Katherine to their surprise. She tells some men to get the coffins out of the car. Once the coffins are brought in she begins to chant. After nearly 10 minutes of chanting we see their bodies turn grey. She levitates the bodies into the coffins and shuts them. She then cuts her palm and rubs the blood over the latches and then proceeds to magically seal the coffins. Katherine then turns to the Strix and says "Take the coffins in place them in the empty vault and lock it. I will seal it later. None of you will ever utter a word about the coffins whereabouts. If you do, I will know and there will be hell to pay. " They all bow down to her and then leave.
"Now" says Katherine "let's move to a more pleasant area". They all move towards the lounge area and sit down. Freya says to Katherine "Thank you for all you have done for my family. I do not know how to repay you. If you ever need anything, you only have to ask". "No need to thank me Freya. I just did what I had to. Desiccating them serves my purpose well. They have been the bane of my existence for years now. The best part about that spell is that only my blood will open up those coffins".
"Well then I forgive you for running away and making me wait 500 years to break my curse" said Klaus. "Why Thank you for that Klaus. It's very magnanimous of you" I say sarcastically. "You do know that I can take you down in my sleep right. Though I must admit it will be really nice and peaceful not to keep looking over my shoulder all the time because of you" said Katherine. "How is all this possible? Witches lose their magic when they turn into vampires. Plus you have never had magic before. So how is it that you have magic?" Elijah asked me in shock. "Like I said before, it's a very long story. Unfortunately we are a few members short and I don't really want to repeat the story again and again" she answered.
Klaus POV
"Who the hell is missing?" I asked getting irritated. I could see Elijah rolling his eyes at my impatience. But I don't care. I want to know how the greatest pain of my existence could be stronger than me and also how in the world did she come back alive. "My family" she replied much to the shock of Freya and me. I then noticed that Elijah did not look surprised at this revelation. In fact why does he look so guilty? Did he know about this? If so for how long and why didn't he tell me?
"I believe your siblings would also be interested in it as well" she said. "Wait. You intend to wait for Rebekah" I asked? "Not just Rebekah, but Finn and Kol as well" she replied shocking us again. "You do know that they are dead right?" asked Freya.
"Oh please. It's the supernatural world. No one stays dead forever. We just have to bring them back to life" she said. Freya asked her how she would do that. "With the right power and spell, anything is possible" She answers. "Do you have the spell needed?" Freya questioned. "Yes darling, I do" Katherine replied. Unfortunately the only thing that we have from the list of things needed is the full moon, which coincidentally will be tomorrow night. The rest of the ingredients will take some time to gather. I'm leaving the spell behind so you can go through it" she tells Freya. "Hey Klaus, you want to come with to check out Lucien's labs tomorrow?" she asked me much to my surprise. Too shocked to say something I just nod my head in response.
"Well then I'm gonna make a move. Bye everyone, see your'll tomorrow. Goodnight" said Katherine and she walks out of the room in those ridiculously high shoes.
Gen POV
"How in the world does she walk in those things? Even Rebekah does not wear shoes that high!" asked Freya after Katherine had left. "Well sister not only does she walk inn those heels but I have seen her do a lot more in those including killing over a 100 vampires without slowing down" said Elijah much do his siblings disbelief. "Anyway it's getting late. Some of us have an early start in the morning" says Elijah looking at Klaus. With that he walks away.
