Later on back at "his" apartment,

Alaric/ Klaus let out his frustrations that had been building to a bloody legged captive Katherine and his warlock, Maddox. "Ah you're right. That witch is all juiced up and ready to kill."

"That's terrible" said Katherine, her voice emotionless.

Klaus started rummaging through the drawers of Alaric's dresser, looking for any sort of weaponry. "She's a problem and we're gonna have to eliminate her, Maddox." He ceased his search upon uncovering a wooden plank to reveal all kinds of contraptions used to kill vampires.

"Who is this guy again?"

"He's the local vampire hunter" Katherine answered with a huff.

"Ah… well that explains the clothing" said Klaus, recalling the remark he'd made earlier in the day.

Maddox wanting to help, poured him a drink. "It all I could find; the guy likes his bourbon."

Klaus downed it in one gulp,

"I knew there was something about him I liked."

It was at that moment that Moraine chose to make an appearance. Coming through the door with pizza box tucked under her left arm. "Hey Ric, I brought home dinner."

Taking a look at her surroundings, she eyed the self-inflected tortured bloody Katherine with an amused expression before saying "Oooh I love what you've done with the place….
Now seeing that I've obviously interrupted a very important meeting." Sparing a glance at Maddox, "I'll just leave this here."

Placing the box on the counter and grabbing a slice. "And retreat to my room to start on my homework."

She got about half way to the doorknob before spinning around on her heels,"Oh one last thing:I would advise if you do not eat the pizza, then at least consume something of substance. Other than pure hooch."

Making Alaric/Klaus chuckle after her, "Hey who's the parent here!"

Once sure that her door was shut, he muttered"You child, are a puzzlement, one I shall enjoy solving but first…

There's a high school dance tonight and I'm gonna need you to take out Witch Bitch," he instructed Maddox.

"If she has that much power, I won't be able to get near her. For she will surely since me coming a mile away" his warlock warned, "You will have to do it."

Klaus was incredulous, "In this body? I'm a haggard history teacher and "parent". She could hurt me very easily, not "Klaus" me but you know what I mean."

Maddox took a couple steps closer in his direction, "No witch could channeling that much power. It will kill her; it would kill me.
All you have to do is make her use it."

Klaus caught on to what his associate was hinting at. "You mean, like provoking her to death?"

The warlock nodded, "It won't take long. Just keep attacking 'til it kills her. I'll make sure Alaric's body will stand the fight..."

It was past nine when Moraine finally poked her head out of her bedroom.

"Alaric" had already gone to the school dance. Leaving her to deal with the warlock and twisted vampiric doppelganger.

"Just relax, Maddox. This is only a pit stop to the laundry room to get supplies for my bath." She said upon noticing she'd gotten his attention.

"You know my name?"

"My room isn't exactly soundproof," the girl replied.

Immediately the warlock started advancing on her but she was too fast. Going from directly in front of him to right atop his back with her fangs bared barely an inch from his neck.

"Now you listen here…" she growled:

"While my strength and venom isn't what it used to be... It still can pack quite a mighty lethal punch. Those that are bitten will surely die within the hour. However - in your case it would be unnecessary bloodshed. Seeing as I'm not against your Master's cause, Your choice?"

Upon receiving a shaken nodded, Moraine leapt off his back and resumed her scavenger hunt.

Maddox was stunned, only ancient vampire such as Klaus could have that much lethality in one bite. And that's because he was a hybrid, could she be one too?

Moraine in the meantime had succeeded in her search for items and was enjoying the relaxing bath water as it soothed her sore ancient wounds from so long ago. Eventually getting out, she rushed to put on her pajamas and flopped down on the couch in the living room, watching TV.

"Are you really going to just keep lounging there, ignoring me?" said Katherine, irritated.

"To me Katerina, you are merely furniture" she said while flipping through a magazine.

"OOO Ouch! That's kind of mean" the vampire taunted. "Whatever happened to that kind, generous, naïve little girl?"

Moraine slammed the magazine on the coffee table before advancing on the wicked doppelganger, causing her to lean back in her chair!

For the first time truly intimated since Klaus, the girl then spoke in a calm deadly voice: "You know damn well what happened…"

Cupping each side of Katherine face in her hands, compelling her "And now Katerina since you so charmingly brought up our past… It is time to see what your actions have brought..."

When Alaric/Klaus return from the dance an hour later he was surprised...

to find Katherine making disgusting faces as she spread and rubbed lotion all the way up and down Moraine's ruined back.

Listening to their conversation:

Katherine: "You do realize that man isn't Alaric?"

Moraine: "Yeah, I figured that out like the minute he opened his mouth when he picked me up from school."

Katherine: Well why didn't you say anything?"

Moraine: " I'm not the one he's after, So it's none of my concern. I'll play his game as long as I need to, in order to continue living my daily life."

Katherine (surprised): "You're not at all worried about Elena?"

Moraine: "If you must know, I care about her but at the end of the day? I know what my priorities are and I've already re-paid my life debt to Stefan when we saved her the first time from drowning with her parents."

Katherine (proudly cheeky): "Sounds like you've finally learned something."

Moraine (warningly): "Watch it Katerina, or I'll compel you to do this for the rest of the entire week instead of just tonight."

Katherine: "No way! I'll be good, anything to get away from your horrendously disgusting back! I probably won't be able to shake this image in front of me out of my head for the next century. "

"- Good, seeing as you caused it. A story I am just dying to hear" said Klaus interrupting them with a cruel smile.
