Chapter 16

The Mikaelson Estate…1745

Katherine woke to find herself all alone…no annoying twins, no Bonnie, not even one of the maids. She looked around the room only to realise it wasn't the room she usually slept in. Suddenly it began to come back to her, the night before, Mr Elijah had told her she had fallen ill. "Well I feel alright now…" she thought as she hopped out of the bed. The sudden cold hit her like an ice block, making her immediately return under the covers. "So cold….why so cold?" she asked herself. Katherine buried herself further underneath the covers. She wondered if she should call to one of the maids but she decided against it. "On such a cold day why not just sleep a bit more." She reasoned with herself and quickly lay down.

Not even five minutes later Josie was in the bedroom shaking the poor girl awake. "Katherine sweetie, Katherine how are you feeling?" Josie asked in a soft voice. Katherine poked her head out from beneath the sheets and gave a soft groan. "Oh love, are you still feeling weak?" Josie asked and Katherine thought for a moment. She felt perfectly fine but on this freezing cold day she wanted to sleep. "Miss Josie…I don't feel so good…" Katherine groaned. "Oh honey, you just rest up. Do you need anything? Are you hungry?" Josie asked. "No Miss Josie, I'll be ok, I think I just need rest and I'll feel a lot better." Katherine smiled. "Alright sweetie, you rest, and I'll be back to check on you later." Josie said before leaving. Katherine smiled to herself. No lessons and all day in bed…she was very happy.

Katherine woke again at around eleven, she was hungry but well rested. She climbed out of bed and went to look for Nana in the kitchen. The little girl walked along the hallway yawning and rubbing her eyes when she bumped into something solid. Katherine looked up and a wide smile broke out across her face. There was Elijah in all his handsome glory smiling back down at her. "Mr Elijah…Hi." Katherine greeted still maintaining her grin from before. "Katherine love, you seem to be feeling fine." Elijah smiled making Katherine giggle. "I'm fine Mr Elijah thank you, I'm just a bit hungry that's all," "Well then let us go get you something to eat." Elijah said as he picked the little girl up and began carrying her toward the kitchen. They were almost to their destination when they heard a voice calling them from behind. "Elijah! I have just rounded up my lesson…Katherine! How are you feeling sweetheart? Your brother and sister told me you weren't feeling well." The voice belonged to Katherine's worst enemy Hayley.

Katherine rolled her eyes but remembered that Elijah was carrying her, and she had no choice but to be nice to her tutor. "I'm feeling much better Ms Marshal. Thank you for asking." Katherine replied in a fake tone of interest. "She had a small fainting spell, but she clearly is better now." Elijah remarked, "Katherine love, why don't you head to the kitchen in the mean while I'll will speak with Ms Marshal hmm." Elijah said to Katherine as he placed her on her feet, to which the little girl was not happy with but had no choice but to oblige. She stomped of toward the kitchen wondering what Elijah and Hayley were talking about. She knew she had to get rid of that pesky tutor and fast but how was the question. How could she make sure that Hayley would be gone permanently? She couldn't think properly on an empty tummy and quickly found Ayana to make her a meal.

Later that night…

Katherine was now bathed and feed and feeling like her old self again, she had just finished her piano lessons and was in dream like state after getting to spend some time alone with her crush. She went around the house trying to locate the other children and found Stefan in the parlour with Rebekah, and Caroline with Klaus in the library, she went down to the kitchen expecting to find Bonnie who surprisingly wasn't there. "Bonnie's in the bedroom love." Josie said to her as the chirpy maid put the dinner dishes away. "Thank you, Josie." Katherine remarked as she marched up the stairs to the bedroom, but when she arrived she stopped in her tracks at the door. She just could not believe what she was seeing, a glass full of water…was floating in mid-air.

Bonnie had been busy practising her magic, she figured everyone would be busy around this time and her grams was preoccupied with getting dinner ready, so a little practice wouldn't hurt. She however had failed to notice someone observing her while she executed her levitation spell. "Bonnie…how…how are you doing that…?" Katherine piped up from the door, which Bonnie had not even noticed had opened. "Katherine!" Bonnie screamed as the glass came crashing to the floor, spilling water everywhere. Katherine crossed the threshold of the room gingerly, her eyes focused on the broken glass. She pointed to the floor. "Bonnie, the glass was floating just now…you were making the glass float, weren't you?" "What me! NO WAY! I can't make anything float… you're crazy Katherine." Bonnie laughed nervously, silently hoping Katherine would drop the subject. "Bonnie, you were controlling the glass, you were, I saw you doing it." Bonnie gave up. "Katherine! Please don't tell anyone! Please my Grams would kill me." Bonnie pleaded. "Nana knows about this?" Katherine asked, and Bonnie nodded slowly. "Grams teaches me all this stuff, but she told me I should never practice without her. That's why you can't tell anybody." Katherine smiled and laughed softly. "It's alright Bonnie, I won't tell."

"So how long have you been able to do this?" "For a while now, it's called magic, I'm…. I'm a witch…" Bonnie confessed. "A WITCH! That's wonderful Bonnie." Katherine cheered. "You're not scared of me?" Bonnie asked confused. "Of course, not silly! You are my friend." Bonnie smiled and hugged Katherine. "Is making things float all you can do?" Katherine asked. "No, I can do a lot more. Look…" Bonnie said as she pointed to the broken glass on the floor and the shards began to piece themselves back together. "Wow..." Katherine remarked picking up the newly repaired glass. "That's amazing Bonnie" and the little witch smiled in response.

Katherine lay in bed thinking about Bonnie's new powers. "She would be perfect…" Katherine thought. "With her powers, Miss Marshal would be gone for good…" Katherine smiled to herself, happy she had plan to oust her teacher from her job. "But Bonnie would never hurt anyone…how do I convince Bonnie to help me." Katherine gasped as a plan came to her. She smiled wickedly and closed her eyes. Tomorrow was going to be a good day.

The Next Day….

"Children, breakfast is ready." Josie called, and each child descend the stairs and entered the dinning hall. The original vampires were already seated. As they were about to take their seats Katherine pulled Bonnie aside. "I need to speak to you, I need a small favour." "Sure, what do you need?" "Nothing really, I just need you to work some magic…" Katherine smirked. "Kat, you know I can't…" "Girls, are you two coming?" Rebekah called. "Yes, Miss Rebekah." Katherine answered. "We will speak after breakfast." Katherine smiled, and Bonnie began to worry.

"Bonnie! Bonnie get back here now!" Katherine whispered harshly as Bonnie walked away swiftly toward the parlour. Katherine trailed after her, it was almost time for their lessons and she had to do this quickly. "Bonnie, listen to me please." "Katherine, you know I can't use my magic around the mansion, Grams would be very upset." "You don't have to do much, when I tell you just move that painting around on the wall, make it fly." "But Kat…" "Bon, pleassseeeee" Katherine pleaded. "Okay…but what are you going to do with the flying painting?" "I'm going to scare Miss Marshal and make her quit." Katherine said confidently. "What! Katherine! NO! I'm not doing this!" "Bon, you owe me." Katherine smiled. "For what?" "Remember that glass you broke last night, turns out Mr Klaus heard it and wanted to know what happened, but luckily I covered for you. I told him I accidently knocked over the glass."

Bonnie was lost for words, "That's not true, I fixed the glass remember." Bonnie countered. "This is true, but you forgot to repair the vase you tried to make fly." "Wait…what vase?" Bonnie questioned. "This one..." Katherine answered and tipped over the vase that stood on the small desk near the doorway. "The porcelain shattered, and Katherine stood there watching Bonnie. "Kat, why did you do that?" Bonnie asked shocked by her friend's actions. "Because Bonnie, when everybody gets here I'm going to tell them I saw you make the vase float and that you broke it, and I'm sure you wouldn't want your Grams to find out that I know that you're a witch." Katherine said rising her chin in the air. "I can't believe you would do such a thing, I thought we were friends…" Bonnie stated softly. "We are friends Bon, and we will always be friends, and that's why I'm asking you as a friend to help me. Bonnie glared at Katherine with her arms folded…alright but if we get in trouble this was your idea." Katherine cheered and hugged Bonnie tightly. Just then the doorbell rang. "Showtime!"
