Chapter 11: The Balance of life

Kat's POV

The next morning was great. It felt good to have friends, someone who understands you and likes you for the person you are. It was now 3 pm and I was taking a walk with

Harry, near the lake. We would wait for Hermione and Ron, who were in the library. Hermione looked for a spell to locate the moonstone and she made Ron go with her, although

it seemed like he was alergic to libraries! But I mean, come on! There's something between them! The would meet us at the lake, from where we would go to spy on Malfoy.

He was our first suspicios! I turned to Harry.

"So, you really want to help me?" I asked him. He faced me and when he answered, his voice was serious.

"Of course. I know how it feels to be wanted dead by someone and I won't let one of my friends be in this situation." We reached the lake and sat down on a bench.

"I'm your friend now? If I were you, I would think about this before. I'm not a good friend, you know?"

He thought a little and then nodded. "I thought about this well enough. You aren't really bad you know? You have every right to be like you are now. It's not your fault, that

you've changed." Wow, he reminded me so much of Sirius. Thinking about him made me sad. He saved my life, and I couldn't even thank him. I don't even know if he lives

anymore, since he spent a few years in Askaban.

"Harry, what happened to me, changed me, that's true. But everyone can decide how they want to be, and I've made my decision." He nodded, there was a long silence before

he asked something, which I knew he would ask, but I didn't look forward to this...

"I have to ask you something. You're not going to like this question, but your knowledge could help me a lot. "

I nodded. "Go ahead. I promise I won't bite." I laughed but then I became serious.

"In your memories, we saw you and Tom Riddle.." I cut him off.

"And you want to know about this whole thing, about him." I nodded in understandment and he looked at me in expect.

"Alright, it's not a long story but it will be long enough to make you happy when it's over! Tom and I met in 1944 at one of Slughorn's parties. Slughorn invited me, because he

wanted a "special guest" , he knew what I was, but nobody else did. I came and there I met Tom. He was quiet a player, you know? " I smiled.

"We talked, and he fascinated me. There was something in his eyes, that made him different. At that time, I didn't know what it was, now I know that it was his intention to

make this revolution thing with the wizards! He made me curious. He had a secret, I could sense it and he was kind of good looking, so I decided to get a little closer to him, and

to find out about his plans, his secret. I wanted to be the one to discover the real Tom. And sadly, I did. We became a couple and as a matter of fact, I have to say, I really did

like him. He was a little like me, he had a sad and horrible past and wanted to start over and to be different, just like me. He explained me about his future-plans, he introduced

me to his death-eaters, he showed and told me everything about his past. The only thing was, I couldn't tell him about mine. I was on the run from Klaus again and the less

people knew where I was, the better. So I kept it a secret. But he became curious, obsessed about finding everything out about me. The memory you saw, was when I came

to visit him. I told him I was being homeschooled. When we meet, I didn't notice that he behaved differently than ususal. Then he told me, he knew about me and my past. I was

afraid, that he would be angry or that he would give me to Klaus, but he didn't. Instead, he wanted me on his side. He wanted me to become one of his death-eaters, and to

sent me to dead-missions. I didn't want to. I didn't want to become his servant. I was dissapointed, because I thought what we had was special. He wanted to force me into

it, but I didn't let him. I just screamed that it was over and ran away. I didn't see him since that day. Never thought he would become this insane."

Harry wanted to answer me but he was cut off, because Hermione and Ron arrived at the lake, looking depressed.

"Nothing. Not one stupid spell to get this stone!" Hermione said angryly. Ron was right behind her, shaking his head. "All of this wasted time, where I could be somewhere

far, far away from the library." Harry and I stood up, and then Harry spoke up. "Guess we just have to hope, that Malfoy will have the stone."

Harry looked at a map and led us, to where we would find Malfoy. When we saw him we, hid behind a statue in a corridor.

"Blaise! Can't you do anything right? Imagine what would happen now if you had lost it! Do you even have the slightest idea what this is?"

Malfoy was screaming at this Blaise-guy. Apparantly he almost lost something important. Please let it be the moonstone...

Blaise-guy shook his head. "No, it looks like any other stone."

YEEES! They were definitely talking about the moonstone. I looked to Ron, Hermione and Harry, seeing that they thought the same, and mentioned them to go outside the school

to talk about a plan. They nodded and we silently went out. For a short moment, I thought about telling Damon about this, but I shook the thought of, as soon as I thought of

how superior he would feel. I can do this alone, after all it's just a little fragile wizard..

When we were outside, I turned around to tell them my plan. "Ok,here's the plan, I will go inside now and get the moonstone."

Ron laughed. "What makes you think he will just give it to you?" But he went quiet after I gave him my death-glare. Harry just shook his head.

"No, Malfoy will be prepared for this. We'll come with you." I sighed.

"I can do this alone. Really, you shouldn't come with me." Hermione raised her eyebrows.

"And why not? We can just stand behind you and make sure nothing happens." I turned to her and looked her in the eyes.

"It's just that you never really saw me in that way." Hermione shook her head.

"It will be alright. I promise." I closed my eyes and then again shook my head.

"Don't say that. Our actions, is what sets things in motion. And we have to live with that." Then I made my way to Malfoy, with Harry, Ron and Hermione following me. We

had luck. He was alone in a class room. No sign of the moonstone, so he probably hid it somewhere. When he saw me, he smirked.

"Good afternoon, Katherine. Or should I say Katarina?" He laughed. He made me really really angry and I couldn't take it anymore. I felt my eyes turn red and my fags pop out.

With vampire speed, I walked towards him, took him by his neck and held him against a wall.

"I know you have it. I warn you: GIVE IT BACK!

He still smiled. "What will you do, if I don't? Kill me like Pansy?"

I hardered my grip around his neck. "I tell you, what I am going to do. I will kill everyone that means something to you while you're watching. Slowly..and very very painfully."

Suddenly Malfoy screamed "Now" I just heard that someone stepped out from a corner. Harry, Ron and Hermione taking their wands out, but before any of us could see what

the person held in his hand,he was about to use it. Then suddenly, I knew what it was. It was this gilbert device which-

My thoughts were cut off, when he turned it on and my ears felt like someone was ripping them apart, then I felt someone push a stake into my stomach. I screamed in pain

and fell to the floor. Harry, Ron and Hermione attacked both of them and when Harry shot an "Stupor" at Malfoy, he and his little friend ran away. Right away, Harry and the

others ran to me.

"Are you ok?" Harry asked unsure, looking at the stake, which still stook in my stomach.

I snoffed. "Totally fine with the stake in my stomach. Could you just help me up please?" They helped me up and Ron seemed to be disgusted of the blood and the stake, so

he turned around. I pulled the stake out with an "Ahhh" and threw it into a corner. Since I wore a black top, it wasn't that bad. Hermione saw that I was a little weak.

"How about Ron and I go upstairs and I bring you a bloodbag?" I was surprised.

"How do you know about the bloodbags?" She smiled.

"I did some researches. I'm going to bring Ron upstairs and then, I'll be right back." She took Ron with her and went away. Harry and I sat down on the chairs in the classroom.

"Why do you think he stole the moonstone, I mean, what does it bring him?"

"That's what I would like to know. Guess we just have to take it tomorrow when he's outside, we'll look in his room." I said with a slightly weak voice. I looked at Harry.

It was dark now and the moon was shining through the windows. In this light Harry had something. I don't know what but there was this spark in his eyes, he calmed me

down. There weren't many persons who could do this.

"Thank you Harry. " He raised his eyebrow.

"For what?" I smiled at him. "For saving me. Malfoy could've done everything in that moment if you guys weren't there to save me." He nodded and suddenly laughed.

"Yeah he could've let you lay here until the sun comes up so you burn." I laughed a little. Today it had been cloudy so Harry didn't know.

"You know, I can go out in the sunlight." I said while showing him my necklace. He seemed a little confused.

"This bracelet was hexed by a witch. But no necklace no sunlight." I explained and he slowly nodded in understandment.

I sighed. "What is taking them so long? I'm really hungry." Harry reached out for his map but suddenly he took a sharp breath and looked at his finger. I came closer.

"What's wrong? " Then I saw it, blood! He cut himself. Again, I felt how my face changed. "I should go." I was at the door when he noticed me and followed.

"Wait, Katherine!" I turned around and saw the shock in his eyes when he saw my face. I couldn't control it, I would bite him...but suddenly I heard a noise. A girl was walking

passed the classroom. Alone. I looked at Harry who shook his head.

"Don't do this. You can fight it, until Hermione comes. You don't need to hurt that girl." I looked into his eyes, I'm sorry Harry, but this is who I am."

With that I left, going for the girl, biting her, drinking her blood and then ereasing her memories. I would tell Damon about this now, after all he would understand, since he

was a vampire too. And he would solve the Malfoy problem.

I ran into the forbidden forest when I heard Damon's voice. He was on the phone again, probably talking to Stefan. I wanted to go to him, when I heard my name.

"Don't worry Stefan, I'll have her help us. She thinks I still care for her, isn't that cute? " I was shocked. Stefan seemed to have said something nice about me because Damon

answered:" Come on Stefan, that little bitch doesn't deserve anything better! She played with my feelings back in1864 now I play with hers. Then we'll be through."

"No she won't notice anything. Just give me two days to get her back and if I'm not back by then you can have your journey to the center of evil!"

I felt really stupid. How could I let him fool me like that? It felt like someone shot a knife in my heart. I wrote a note saying that Draco Malfoy had the moonstone, laid it near him

made a noise and then ran way as fast as I could. I looked at the castle. There would be definitely more people tonight that will get hurt...

Lucius' POV

I was sitting at the couch in my house, when I got the letter from Draco. It said that his plan failed. He didn't get Katherine Pierce . Voldemort wouldn't be able to keep the

deal with Klaus tonight. Draco should have knock that vampire out, so some death-eaters could take her to the Dark Lord so he could give her and the moonstone to Klaus, so

he could take the Doppelganger and break his curse to create Hybrids. Klaus and his hybrids would then fight for the Dark Lord. We will be invincible. I sighed and picked up

a piece of paper to write to the Dark Lord about the delay of this. He wouldn't be happy but it's not that bad , they would get her in the next days. I know my son won't fail.

After all, he was a Malfoy.
