Chapter Six
Katherine barely had time to blink before Rebekah Mikaelson managed to pin her against the wall in obvious fury. "And just when I thought that I couldn't hate you anymore!"
Loki stood up and pulled Rebekah away from Katherine and dropping her on the ground. Katherine nodded her thanks and she rubbed her throat. "Yes, Rebekah I was the one that told Esther about the immortality spell, I was the one that gave you life!"
When Rebekah stood up, her voice was shaking. "All this time I blamed Esther and Mikael for turning us into monsters, for not giving me a chance to have a family while all this time you've been the little bitch that ruined all of our lives!"
"Excuse me?" she narrowed her eyes. "I saved your pathetic life! I gave you life!"
Rebekah looked like she wanted to punch Katherine, but Elijah held her back sternly. His voice was cold when he spoke again. "Katerina, explain."
"With pleasure." She purred. "It's easy, I needed to get rid of Tatia and through that was an old immortality spell that I found in one of my old spell books. I had the ability to send illusion that nobody else can see. I got into Esther's mind, convincing her that I was one of the witches on the other side. I convinced her to turn you into vampires just so that I could get rid of Tatia. You were my guinea pigs, no offense, but hey it worked out for the best."
"You turned us into monsters." Elijah accused.
"Every bad thing that I have done, that we have done have been because of you?" Klaus' tone was wonderus, which was rare. "Why did choose us from all the other families in the village?"
"I choose you, your family because I felt sorry for you!" Katherine said through gritted teeth. "I saw the way that Mikael made your life a living hell and I thought that if at least you were immortal you will be able to escape him. So if you want me to apologize Klaus, I will. I'm sorry that I made you into an all-powerful creature, I'm sorry that you got to experience things you would have never experienced, I'm sorry that I made you a king!"
"And what about me?" Rebekah crossed her arms over her chest. "What about my chance of happiness? I wanted a family, a normal life, not 1000 years of unhappiness. What about my chance for happiness Katherine?"
"Normal is so overrated, Becks." She snapped. "What was your dream? Get married to some loser in your dingy little village only for him to have some mistress on the side while you slave away with ten children only to die at thirty for a stupid reason like a cold? That's not life, Rebekah that's a fantasy."
"It should have been my choice! Not you butting in and ruining everything!"
Katherine pursed her lips. "If it makes you feel any better I really wished that I hadn't turned you." She turned back to Elena. "Oh, sweetie I have one more surprise for you, do you recall the date May 23, 2009?"
Elena gulped. "The day that my parents went off the bridge-"
Katherine giggled. "Oh come on, cupcake you didn't think one would be stupid enough to just drive through the bridge and fall, did you?"
Whatever color was left on Elena's face drained. "It was you."
"Oppsies." Katherine pressed her finger against her chin. "Did I do that? Consider me jealous, I told you once Elena and I'll tell you again, I don't like sharing toys. The way that Damon and Stefan were so willing to forget about me and fall for my cheap, carbon copy well that really hurt. Don't you get it by now, Elena? I've been watching you for years before Stefan came into town, I know everything that there is to know about your perfect life."
Jeremy hugged his sister.
"Oh, don't start crying yet, I'm just getting to the best part." She shrugged. "I overheard your conversation with Bon Bon the day of the bonfire, how you were playing with poor Matty Blue Blue's heart, harsh because Elena once again doesn't know what she wants. So I compelled Aunt Jenna to convince your parents to let you go to the stupid bonfire. I compelled Matt to talk about subjects that make you uncomfortable so that your parents picked you up early. And then I compelled Grayson that on his way back to drive off Wickery Bridge. I thought it would be the perfect chance to get rid of you, but Stefan being the hero saved you, well at least I got a good kick out of it."
"Get out!" Elena's voice was shaking and she was closed to tears. "Get out before I kill you."
Katherine raised an eyebrow. "Gladly."
Loki lazily got off the couch, an amused smile playing on his lips.
She turned back to the group. "So you can love me or you can hate me," Katherine placed her hand on her hip. "But in the end all of you know that I'm right. All the good things you have experience and all the bad things have been because of me. And you can either accept it or wallow in self-pity, but in the end I know that I made your lives for better or for worse so hate me, love me. I really don't care, it's been a fun 1000 years, but toodles."
"I didn't know that you still had it in you, sister." Loki pointed out as he and Katherine walked towards the car that Tony had let them borrow. "You made the whole room hate you in under an hour that takes talent. You made your doppelganger's life miserable."
"Believe me, the bitch had it coming." She smiled. "It felt so good to watch Elena in tears."
Thor looked up. "Are you done with your affairs?"
"Yep."
"Can you manage . . . this thing?" Loki said curtly motioning towards the car. "Thor nearly killed me while driving this contraption."
"Sure, I'll drive." She went into the front seat and frowned, crap it was getting hard to see. Granny vibes kicking in. Thor settle into the passenger seat and Loki was stuck in the back. She turned to them. "Thank you for coming back to save me. You didn't have too."
Thor smiled. "It was our pleasure sister," he turned back to Loki wearily who refused to meet his gaze. "We're family after all."
Katherine pulled out of the driveway. "So what solution do you have to make me a Goddess again?"
"Actually about that, what we have to cure you, it's more of a myth." Loki murmured.
Katherine stepped on the breaks. "What?"
