Chapter Five
"I miss Caroline." Bonnie said to nobody in particular as she added more sugar to her tea.
"Uh-huh." Katherine mumbled looking over Bonnie shoulder.
"It's like not the sa- what are you looking at?"
"Uh, nothing. So what were you saying again?" Katherine said smiling.
"We'll, if you were listening, you would'- Kat!"
"Huh?" Katherine said still not looking at Bonnie. Following her gaze, she saw Klaus talking to Mrs. Nash.
"Why are you looking at Klaus?"
"No reason." Katherine everywhere but Bonnie's curious brown eyes.
"I know that look. Don't even think about it Kat, what is your problem? Is Elijah is not good enough for you?"
"Okay, stop it right there Bon, I just, what if I'm not good enough for him? What if he's out of my league?"
"Kat, where is this coming from?"
"Elijah, took me to meet, the family. And the way his mother and father looked at me... Like I was the scum between their toes. Bon, nobody ever looks at me like that. Unless their poor or less prettier than me, which is most people."
"Kat, if you really love him like you say you do, than it shouldn't matter what people think or say. Love isn't perfect, it's real."
"I don't know, maybe I just love the way he talks, and speaks to me I mean, he actually looks at me in the eyes." Bonnie rolled her eyes. Sometimes she wondered what goes in Katherine's brain half the time.
"Your right. I'm going to march up to his mother and tell her that I'm not going anywhere." Katherine said getting up from her chair.
"Yea, you go girl! Go fight for your man!" Bonnie cheered watching her walk away.
"Hello Bonnie, fancy seeing you here."
"What do you want Kol?" Bonnie said rolling her eyes.
"I can't come talk my friend?"
"We'll, that's the funny thing, were not friends. Not even close."
"Good, cause I don't want be friends, I want to be more than friends." Kol said winking at her.
"Kol, listen to me. We will never ever be together."
"So I was thinking we could ride a horses today." Kol said stirring his cup of tea, he made.
"Do you understand the words that just came out my mouth?"
"Yes, you said well never be together, but you didn't say anything about hanging out together. Well met at your house, say in 15 minutes." Without waiting for a goodbye, Kol left taking his tea with him.
"Ah Elena so nice to see you again." Esther said opening the door to A determined Katherine.
"Uh, it's Katherine."
"Oh, it's you. Would you like to come in?" Esther looked at Katherine up and down. She heard lots of things about this one. She wasn't worthy of any her sons. She was a disgrace to us woman. Esther thought looking down at her.
Katherine felt beads of sweat on her forehead. Her heart pounding in her ears, she was sure Esther heard it.
"Yes please." She said. Her knees felt like jello, and they would fall apart beneath her. But instead they worked perfectly.
"Elijah, is not here, if that's who you're about to ask for."
"Actually I'm not here to see Elijah."
"Kol or Klaus are not here either." Esther said pushing her lips together.
"I'm not her for them. I wanted to talk to you."
"Me? What about?"
"Elijah. You probably know now, that were kinda a thing."
"Sweetheart, there's no kinda. It's you are or not." Katherine bit her lip from snapping back.
"We are. And I wanted to know, if I wasn't getting mix signals from you, the other night. It seemed lik-"
"I didn't like you." Esther interrupted look at Katherine.
"Yes."
"No sweetie, you weren't getting mix signals. It's just I heard lots of things about you and honey you don't make a perfect match with my son. He needs a wife, he can trust. And plus you're too young for him. Your just a little girl, he needs a woman, child. And you're not one yet."
"Excuse me, but you don't know me." Katherine said clenching her teeth together.
"It doesn't matter, your reputation tells all."
"Haven't you heard of, never judge a book by its cover, I'll let you on little secret, it for humans too." Katherine knew she should t get smart with anyone, bug this lady cross the line. I mean who the hell did she think she is?
"And haven't you heard of a sneak peak? Katherine daring, why don't you go back home, where you can sit on your behind all day and think about cookies and spice, and everything else that's nice. You're not ready, to be a Mikaelson, and by the looks of it, you may never will be. Mr. Howard?"
"Yes." An old man said, with thick glasses around his neck looked up from the the painting his was cleaning.
"Would you please escort Miss. Perice out?" He nodded. Not like I have much of a choice he thought.
Katherine felt numb. She felt like she was kicked in the gut... Repeatedly.
With all the dignity she had left, and pride she could find, head held hush, she walked out the building, without a second glance. If anybody saw her, they might think, she had all the confidence in the world, nothing can't hold her back. But little they would know she dying inside.
And to make matters worse, she saw Elena and Elijah cackling over by the rose bushes, that Elena tends everyday. Before they could see her and her tears falling down her face, she jogged off in the other direction
"Kol, maybe this isn't a good idea." Bonnie said looking at the brown huge horse in front of her.
"Really, cause I think it's a great idea." Kol said saddling io his horse.
"It's just that, Kat- um yea Kat she needs to help her rearrange her clothes. So I'm gonna go do Tha-"
Kol placed his hand on Bonnie's shoulder and looked at her, right in the eyes.
"Bonnie Bennett are you scared?" Bonnie scoffed.
"Me, scared? Psh! No. But I am scared of hurting your male ego. You know what I'm going to show whos going to be scared in a minute." Bonnie said walking off.
"Klaus, please." Henrik whined looking at the big white horse in front of him.
"No, Henrik. You know what mom said " You can't ride that horse," don't give me those puppy dog eyes, Henrik."
"Please." Henrik said bottom lip trembling.
"Okay fine, but ride slow. I don't want you to get hurt."
"Okay!" Henrik said clapping his hands.
