Hello again. Sorry for didn't uploading earlier. School, friends, familiy etc. came between, but I hope I can make it up to you with this wonderful chapter, in which I don't own any of the characters!
Enjoy!
Chapter 16 : In front of youKat's POV
After reading the story, I wasn't able to speak , to move or to do anything else but being shocked. Hermione looked at me worringly.
"Is everything alright, Katherine? That was a lot to handle, I know." Still shocked of my anscestor's story, I looked down at the book.
"I just...I mean...they loved her, didn't they!" I immediatly earned a confused look from Hermione. Thank God, that Ron and Harry aren't here right now!
"I assume that, yes. But what are you up to?"
" Don't you get it? They both loved Charlotte, Elijah AND Klaus. From what we've read their mother killed her and none of them got her." Hermione raised her eyebrow.
"So?" I turned around to face her.
"Soooo, they don't expect us to know this story."
"Maybe, but why is us knowing the story an advantage?"
"Because we know the spell, Esther used to bind Klaus' wolfside, right?" Hermione nodded yes. "And if we know how she binded it, we could find out how to destroy it!"
Hermione's widened. Of course that would be risky. Going against an original was always risky and dangerous, but once we would know how to destroy Klaus'' wolfside", he
would be just a vampire, okaay an original vampire, but we could handle that somehow...
"That's a plan, I have to admit, but it will be complicated and we will have to do it step by step." I nodded.
"Alright, so let's look for the book!" Suprised, raised my eyebrows. "What, now? It's late, maybe we should get some sleep and just...start tomorrow, what do you mean?"
Hermione studied me for a minute, before she began to grin. "You don't want to tell the boys, do you?" Nervously I laughed and went out of the library with Hermione following
me behind. "Come on, you can admit it. It's not a bad thing to care for other people, Katherine!" I sharply turned around to face her.
"Yes Hermione, yes it is! Because everytime I care for somebody, they either end up dead/undead or they end up hating me! You can trust me when I say, that it is better to keep
the boys out of this thing."
"Alright, if you say so. But we should probably show up. I don't want them to worry about us being tortured by Malfoy." I nodded and we went into the Great Hall, where the
'normal' studens were having dinner at the moment. Ron was eating A LOT, just like he did on any other day! As the boys spotted us, they asked everything they could ask!
"So, where were you?" Harry asked, because Ron was too occupied eating a steak. I shot a quick glance at Hermione.
"We had to do some...you know...girl stuff." Now Ron seemed to have decided to speak up.
"Girl stuff? Did Cormack ask you out or something?" Wow, Ron seemed to be really jealous, which caused me to smirk. I really had to talk to Hermione about that later.
"No Ronald! And by the way,I don't think that you're the one to be upset since you're making out with Lavender lately!" Okaaaay, this wasn't exactly going into the right
direction! I had to get away before they would begin to drag me into their fight. I stood up and wanted to leave,but Harry caught me and smirked.
" Something tells me, that you and I have the same goal right now." I spoke quietly, so that the two love/hate birds wouldn't hear anything.
"That something seems to be pretty smart as it is right: Let's leave!" I giggled softly and we stood up and went out of the Great Hall as fast as possible. We went outside,although it
was already dark.
"So, what are we going to do about this whole moonstone/Klaus- drama?"
"We aren't going to do anything! I don't want you all to get involved. Trust me, once Klaus doesn't like you,you'll be doomed forever and if I say forever, then I really really
mean it!"
"Let's pretend, we really let you do this on your own, then what would you do next?"
"Well, I would probably meet up with the Salvatores and Elena and then I'd call Elijah to make a deal before he kills us all!"
"Elijah is the brother, isn't he? Why make a deal with him and not with Klaus!"
"You don't make deals with Klaus. If he would know what we are doing here right now, then he would show up, declare war, kill some people, you know, Klaus stuff! Elijah
has better manners. If we want to get something good out of this, then we should contact him."
"If you want a deal,, then what are you going to ask him for?"
"I guess, I'll ask him to leave me alone for eternity. It wasn't exactly my big dream to run away from them my whole undead life,you know?"
" When you say them you just mean Klaus and Elijah, right? I mean, they are the only ones!"
"I don't exactly know. Over centuries, I heard rumours about them. Some say that Klaus has four vampire brothers and one sister, but others say they died when they were
human, so no one exactly knows. But I'm pretty good with the two of 's really enough!" We laughed and looked up to the moon.
"Do you really think that low of me, Katerina! I must admit, I'm a little disappointed." Harry and I sharply turned around and I stepped back a little.
" Elijah."
"You're frightened of me...that's good. I see you already got yourself some...friends. Harry, right? Pleasure to meet you." He was nice, which was never a good sign. It was
the same silence before storm-thing and it was really scary and creepy. Before Harry could shake hands with Elijah, I shoved him behind me.
"What are you doing here?"
"Let's see Katerina, what could I possibly want?"
"If you're looking for the moonstone...I...I want to make a deal with you. The moonstone in exchange for my freedom." Silence. I could see,that Harry was holding his wand,
ready for defense, but Elijah just laughed and within seconds, he was standin just inches in front of me.
"Sweet,little, Katerina. I am sorry to disappoint you, but why should I make a deal with you, when I could just compell you to give me the moonstone? And moreover, Klaus
is a little...well, let's say he is slightly angry with you for ruining the sacrifice...again. So you will have to fetch that pretty moonstone of yours and then we will go to Klaus together."
I realized how I started to breathe heavily. Klaus would definetly kill me, but what's worse, he would kill me slowly. It will take centuries for me to die! And what's even worse, is
that I couldn't do anything against it.
Fate really sucks!
So that's it! I know that wasn't really a lot, but I promise, the nect chapter will be way more dramatic and exciting!
I will also try to upload regularly again!
Don't forget to review:No review-no chapter!
