Chapter Sixteen

"What do you mean you want to stay here?" Thor question Katherine outside of SHIELD headquarters. "Katerina, the reason for making you human was for that you could live in Asgard again, not stay here."

"I know, Thor," Katherine bit her lip, feigning innocence. "But think about if from my perspective, I haven't seen mother and father in five hundred and forty years. I just don't think I'm ready yet to face them. Besides I have things to do here, wrap up some last minutes things and say goodbye to some people. I'll ask Heimdall to open the Bifrost when I'm ready to come home."

The last part was an obvious lie and it was clear to Thor that Katherine hadn't made many friends here, but finally he relented. "All right," he turned to face Loki. "And you find the need to stay why? You hate it here, you hate humans."

"I must admit I find them unlikeable, but I prefer to be here that stuck in a cage for the rest of my life." Loki said playing the guilt card.

Thor looked between Katherine and Loki, wondering if they were trustworthy. Thor didn't want any problems here on earth which he considered his second home and Fury had warned him that either Loki or Katherine caused any problems they would be forced to take action.

"One week." He said firmly. "I will speak to mother and father, but you have one week to return to Asgard or I will come get you."

Katherine felt a lump in her throat, it made her wonder how she could so easily lie to other people, but she felt guilty lying to her own brother while using the other one as her partner in crime. "One week."

Rebekah had been human one week and she could safely say that it was both the best and worst decision that she had ever made. The best part was that she could finally have the life she had always wanted, a home, kids, and a husband and the worst part was that she couldn't heal using vampire blood, she had to figure out things like money, and Nik wasn't too happy with her and she doubted that Elijah would be too though he was still daggered in a box and Klaus was too angry to let him out.

"There must be a witch," Klaus was mumbling to himself as he paced around one of the rooms of their French quarter mansion. Rebekah had been stuck there for days because Klaus had been too paranoid to let her out of his sight, so Rebekah had only had Hayley and her baby bump for company. "A relative of Ayanna's maybe who can do the immortality spell again, or at least make you into a normal vampire again."

"There's no other way, Nik." Rebekah said quietly, risking Klaus' anger. "Katherine and her brothers told me twice that this was a non-revisable spell, not even the most powerful magic both Asgardian and regular magic can't undo the spell. I'm human for good."

"Of all the stupid things that you had to do Rebekah, this one may be the stupidest of them all!" Klaus snarled at his sister. "When are you going to wake up from this stupid, childish dream of yours? Humanity won't make you happy, little sister in seventy years you'll be rotting in your own coffin permanently."

Rebekah felt the tears in her eyelids. "This was my decision, Nik and I'm not going to let you spoil it!"

"Well, you are going to regret it someday," Klaus said darkly. "You will watch yourself wither away while I and Elijah stay the same. Who knows maybe Elijah won't even get to meet his future nieces and nephews and brother in law you're so keen on having."

Rebekah raised her head and a small smile spread on her face. "That's it. Katherine has two other cures, if you and Elijah take them we can all be human again, we can all be normal-"

Klaus wrapped his hand around Rebekah's throat. "What did you say? Are you telling me that Katerina is running around with two other cures that could turn two immortals human? And you didn't think twice of trying to get them from her?" Klaus tightened his grip and Rebekah whimpered. "You really are the hopeless fool I always took you for, I hope you rot in hell little sister."

"Ouch."

They turned around and saw Katherine standing at the edge of the doorway with her arms across her chest and looking more confident than ever. "You're not going to win any big brother awards with that attitude."

Klaus let go off Rebekah. "Katerina, come to shove one of the last two remaining cures down my throat?"

"Actually nope," she said as she patted his shoulder. "Believe it or not I like you like this, I actually came to talk to your sister. Alone."

Klaus didn't budge.

Katherine stared back. "Don't make me make you, move."

"You ruined her life, you know that. This is the worst thing that you could have done." He hissed in her ear before departing.

Rebekah wiped her eyes with the back of her hands even if no tears had fallen. Katherine handed her a tissue. "Oh, honey remember rule number one, no guy is worth your tears ever. Especially a jackass like your brother."

"Easier said than done." She sniffed. "What are you doing here I though you would go home to Asgard?"

"I am, just not yet."

Rebekah looked at her strangely. "You're going to kill Elena, aren't you?"

"I have too." She responded childishly. "I need to get rid of all the doppelganger, otherwise I will never find peace. As soon as I kill Elena, I'm out of here and I doubt I will ever be coming back so I brought a little goodbye present." She handed her a dagger.

"Elijah-"Rebekah chocked out.

"I remove the dagger from him and left him a blood bag but I left before he woke up. It was my fault that he got daggered in the first place. I also took the magic from it, the daggers won't work anymore so Klaus can't desiccate him and stash him in a box." She opened her purse and handed her a letter. "Can you give it to him and tell him I'm sorry?"

Rebekah nodded. "Of course."

There was an awkward silence.

Katherine shrugged. "Well, bye it's been fun. I hope humanity is everything you always wanted it to be."

"Why are you helping Rebekah so much?" Loki wondered as Katherine drove. "I was under the impression that you hated her. I mean why give her humanity and undaggered the guy in the suit, you wouldn't usually go through so much trouble."

"Well I did play with both of her brothers, so I wasn't expecting a hug." She shrugged. "And besides Rebekah is a halfway decent person, she reminds me of the kind of girl that I used to be."
