Chapter Four

Katherine looked at what was supposed to be her "breakfast". Though pig food would have been more acceptable. Through her 2,030 year old lifespan she had never had too cook or fend for herself. Ever.

When she had been a princess, she would be served breakfast, lunch, and dinner at a daily basis and if she wanted a snack then one of her handmaidens will get that for her. As a vampire she had no need for food and survived with fresh blood and she gave in to her occasional chocolate cravings.

But now as a human she was practically useless. She had almost burn down the Salvatore kitchen twice until Damon told her that she was no longer allowed in the kitchen. So now if she wanted breakfast she usually had to wait for someone to give it to her (like little Gilbert) or eat already ready breakfast, like pop tarts (EW, as well.)

This time, however either a) Damon had suddenly turned into some kind of saint or b) she was going insane.

That morning at breakfast instead of her usual Lucky Charms bowl of cereal, Damon of all people had placed a plate of what she thought were supposed to be scrambled eggs, but most likely represented like dyed cotton balls.

"What is this?" she asked disgusted.

"Your breakfast, Miss Katherine." Damon said with sarcasm.

Katherine pushed the plate away. "Yeah, my cause of death will not be because of food poisoning."

Damon removed the plate of food away from her. "Suit yourself."

Katherine scooted out of her chair and exited the kitchen, nearly bumping into Elena. She scowled. "Get out of the way."

To her surprise Elena didn't respond with an equally bitchy comment. Instead she just smiled cheerfully and said. "Good morning, Katherine."

Once she heard that Katherine was upstairs Elena let out an irritated sigh. "Finally, some peace and quiet."

Damon kissed her forehead. "That was great acting by the way, I almost actually thought you liked her!"

"When is Klaus coming? I can't stand her!"

"Tonight," Damon smirked. "And we're going to get front road seats to watch Katherine be dragged by the devil himself."


Katherine was B-O-R-E-D. She had no money, no friends, no car and she really didn't feel like shopping when she was slowly turning into an old lady. For the past few weeks she had taken refuge in the smallest guest room at the Salvatore Estate, only coming out to eat and pout.

She pulled open a drawer, maybe there was a razor and she could cut her wrists and end her misery right here and there, but all she found was stacks of paper and an old fashion quill and ink.

She took a piece of paper and dipped the quill in the ink jar and started writing a name she hadn't written in a long time: Princess Katerina Odindottir.

Katherine really wished that she could be at home right now, sure her parents hated her (well, mostly her father) but at least they wouldn't let her just die and make fun of her in her weaken state.

She rested her hand on her chin. Even though she had been send to exile years ago, the memory was still fresh in her mind.

Flashback:

"KATERINA!" Odin's roar was so loud that Katherine wouldn't be surprised if they could hear him halfway around Asgard.

There were only five people in the room. Frigga who was looking around nervously, Loki who looked like he wanted to laugh, Thor who wished that Katherine's lecture would be over soon so that he could go fool around, and Odin who looked angry enough to strangle her.

Katherine herself was waiting in front of him still dressed in the wedding clothes that she had been dressed in only hours before. Except for that small fact that Katherine hadn't even bother to show up for her own wedding to the God of War, Tyr.

"Will you care to explain why you didn't show up at your own wedding and left Tyr and his family, and us the royal Asgardian family standing like complete fools waiting for you?"

"I told you I wanted nothing to do with Tyr!" she snarled. "He is a brute and a complete moron."

"It would have strengthen our family ties! Grant us more power, a better army."

"I don't want any more power. I told you beforehand that I did not want to marry him, I don't see how this comes as a surprise."

Odin's face was red with anger. "I have tolerated disobedience after disobedience from your part, Katerina and I am tired of it. You are stubborn, thick headed, and selfish and it is time that you learn your lesson. You are hereby exiled to Mignard."

Katherine's smirk froze. "What?"

Frigga snapped. "Odin, what are you saying?"

Thor was looking in disbelief at his father.

The smile finally left Loki's face, "Father, please reconsider, it was just a bit of fun Katerina surely doesn't deserve-"

"Silence, Loki!" Odin snapped. "I make the rules here and it is time that she learns her lesson."

End of Flashback

On second thought home wasn't looking so peachy either.


"What?" Caroline squeaked. "Damon called Klaus so that he can take Katherine?"

"Shh," Elena hissed pointing to upstairs. "I don't want Katherine to overhear."

"He didn't?" Bonnie looked half annoyed, half amused.

"He did," Elena couldn't help, but smile as she took a bite of yogurt. "Tonight Katherine Pierce will finally be out of our lives for good."


When Katherine finally reached downstairs she found out that it had turned into some freaky reunion of some sort, were they throwing a goodbye bitch party sooner than anticipated? There were bottles of Bourbon all over the room. There was Matt, Tyler, Jeremy, Bonnie, Elena, Caroline, Damon, and Stefan.

"Katherine, glad you could join us," Damon smirked. "Especially since you're the guest of honor."

Katherine looked at them suspiciously, why were they grinning back at her like over smiling idiots? "What the hell is going on?"

The doorbell rang.

"Katherine, can you answer that?" Elena asked innocently, she shared a glance with Caroline and she could barely hold in her laughter.

Katherine rolled her eyes, but did as she was told. She froze in her tracks when she saw who it was. Klaus. Elijah. Rebekah. Golly, three nightmares rolled into one.

Klaus gave her a cold smile. "Good evening, Katerina may we come in?"

Katherine gulped and she felt like throwing up as they closed the door behind her. She turned back to the grinning Mystic Falls gang. "You planned this!" she shrieked hating how nervous she sounded.

Damon shrugged. "Consider it our goodbye present."

"Katerina, we wish you no harm-"Elijah tried to protest.

Rebekah snorted. "Why lie to the girl?" she raised an eyebrow at the gray streak that had formed in Katherine's brown curls. "Nice hair."

Katherine refused to be intimidated even though she was trembling inside. She crossed her arms over her chest. "If you're going to kill me, then kill me."

"I rather do it slowly, sweetheart no offense."

Katherine gave Elijah a hurt look, but he just gave her puppy eyes. Thanks a lot, dude.

"Please, please Klaus don't do this." She hated herself for begging, but currently it was her only option.

They heard a crack through the windows and Katherine saw a very familiar hammer landing through the living room. Thor's hammer.

"Was that really necessary brother?" Loki's sarcastic voice followed. "I don't think you made enough noise."

"I heard our sister's helpless cries for mercy, I was acting on instinct."

Loki and Thor stormed into the Salvatore living room and Katherine almost didn't recognize them without their Asgardian clothing. They were dressed in jeans and t-shirts. Loki looked at Elena, ignoring everyone in the room. He grabbed her by the arm. "Well, there you are. That was easy, come Thor let's go home."

"Honestly!" Katherine snapped, momentarily forgetting that Klaus was planning to kill her. "Did you just confuse me with Elena? We might look alike but I though with the ugly red thing in her hair and her tacky clothes you could at least tell the difference."

Loki turned his gaze from Elena to his sister, nodding as he dropped Elena to the floor not so gently. "Oh right, my mistake you're much prettier."

Katherine smiled back. "I know." She hugged both of her brother, though it was a struggle because they were both taller than her. "I missed you, I didn't know you were coming."

"We heard of your . . . condition." Thor said simply.

"Um, Katherine," Stefan pointed out the obvious as Damon helped Elena up from where Loki had thrown her. "Who are they?"

Katherine shrugged as if it should have been obvious. "They're my big brothers."

-End of Chapter Four-

Thanks so much for your reviews! I kind of always wanted Kat to have a big brother on the show, because even though she is strong and independent every now and then big brother can take care of his baby sis. Kat will explain her past in the next chapter which will leave to everyone hating her even more.
