Klaus and Katherine entered the Mikaelson homestead where Elijah greeted them with a stone cold face. The eldest surviving brother was shocked to see his former lover in the company of his brother. "Niklaus," Elijah buttoned his suit jacket. "To what do we owe the pleasure of Ms. Petrova's presence?"

Klaus walked up to his brother, his hands patting Elijah's shoulders as a huge grin erupted on his face. "Brother, our plan to once again rule over this city that we built will be easier than originally anticipated. You see, Katerina has been given the cure and is once again mortal. Don't you see, Elijah? I'll have my hybrids once more and when the time comes there will be no one who will be able to get the drop on us. I will be the King again," Klaus assured him. "And nothing will please me more than to have you by my side."

Elijah switched stares from his brother to Katerina, aware that there was no way to change what had just been done.


Escorted to her room by one of Klaus's hybrids, Katherine found herself checking for any escape routes and found that the windows had bars and none of her doors had locks on them. Throwing herself back onto her queen sized bed, Katherine didn't know how she felt. Anger was definitely up there on the list; angry at Bonnie for betraying her and Elena for winning once more. Everything she had fought for, to be able to have once she finally managed to escape Klaus for good, now belonged to her evil little doppelganger. Then she had the audacity to hand her over to Klaus.

The fear, the panic at finding herself in this situation was by far the worse. How had this happened?

Dragging her body up, the now mortal Bulgarian decided not to just give up. Sooner or later she would find something that would help her cause and it would start by investigating the wood work. Opening a door she found she had a luxurious four piece en suite with italian marble floors and granite counters for the vanity; a beautiful Victorian soaker tub and a full shower with multiple shower heads and sprays along each wall. Well, at least she knew she would be taken care of here.

Leaving the bathroom, her next stop turned out to be a beautiful walk in closet filled with designer clothes. Touching fur jackets and beautiful silk gowns, Katherine lost herself in her surroundings and jumped out of her skin when she saw Klaus leaning against the door frame, smirking an evil little half smile.

"I'm glad to see you enjoy your new home," Klaus spoke. "Now let's get you downstairs so you can start earning your keep."
