Katherine and Trixie were sorting through one more rack of dresses when Elijah's phone went off. They had actually gone through the whole store and as Elijah groaned at whoever called him Trixie smirked, she knew whatever he was about to do it couldnt be as bad as this.
"excuse me ladies. I must go take care of a piece of business." Katherine and Trixie eyed Elijah suspiciously before he bowed to them and walked out of the store, leaving them to wonder what was going on. Trixie waved the store assistance off as Katherine took her phone out and dialed someone and frowning.
"Damon, where are you?Oh god!" Katherine hung her phone up as she glanced to Trixie.
"How bad is it?"
"Well, he brought Elena here to see Stefan." Trixie rolled her eyes and then shrugged. Katherine stared at her in surprise.
"You seemed surprised."
"You usually want them to stay safe and not fight, why the sudden change of heart?"
"because, I told Damon to stay away. Stefan has to do this to become stronger from her and if Damon is going to kiss her behind his back he deserves better." Katherine smiled as she shrugged and then turned back to shopping. She was looking through the last rack of shirts now as she had found some jeans that fit nicely and as she threw a one sleeve shirt over the door to Trixie she heard a gasp as the half breed saw what she wanted her to try one.
"Please!" Trixie sighed as she slipped on the silky black top with one strap that slightly held it up on her right shoulder. She sighed before she pulled the curtain back and walked out in the shirt and her panties. She smiled as Katherine nodded but as she held a questioningly look on her face Trixie sighed.
"What now Kat! Doesnt it look good?"
"It looks perfect on you love." Trixie and Katherine turned around to see Klaus and Stefan standing behind them at the door. Trixie smiled as Stefan turned his head, blushing a bit.
"Trouble in paradise over Nik?"
"Yes darling."
"Come to perv then?" Klaus glared to Katherine as Stefan laughed and shook his head.
"Far from! His sister needs a new wardrobe." Katherine looked at Stefan as if she was confused for a moment but Trixie smiled and looked around real quick as Klaus chuckled at her excitement.
"Yes, she should be here by now, her and Elijah werent too far behind."
"We are here Nik. God, how the times have changed. Please tell me that's not how people dress now and days." Rebekah stared at Trixie and as she smiled and rushed to hug the vampire she smirked herself as she wrapped her arms around Trixies waist. Katherine smiled to Elijah as he waked to her side but Stefan could only watch as Rebekah and Trixie embraced.
"Its been too long sis."
"It has Trix. Where have you been hiding?"
"Here and there, staying out of Nik's radar." She smiled as Rebekah chuckled and turned to glance to her brother.
"I dont blame you there. Now, he told me Katherine was going to help in my new clothes but I can see why he was smiling the whole time now. So where do we begin?" Trixie smiled as Rebekah followed her to the back dressing rooms and Trixie handed Rebekah a few things. She scoffed at it of course but as she gladly tried on a few jeans and shirts Trixie knew that she would probably throw them all out. Katherine arrived a minute later with a few dresses in hand and as she handed them over to Rebekah she handed a hot pink one to Trixie and smiled as he noticed that it was a tight thigh length one. She glared at Katherine as she shrugged and Trixie went to try it on. Rebekah exited the dressing room with a black dress on before she went to the front and found Stefan and Klaus sitting in some chairs, Elijah standing right behind them as the assistants served them champagne.
"Wow! That suits you to a tee Beks, doesnt it Elijah?"
"No, please, tell me there is another part you forgot to give me Katherine." Katherine shook her head as Trixie smiled and walked over to Rebekah.
"Nope, thats all Beks. Oh it doenst look bad. You look good." Rebekah glanced to see Trixie wearing the tight little hot pink dress Katherine picked out for her and as she scoffed she crossed her arms in front of her.
"No! No, no, no, no! Do all women in this century dress like prostitutes!"
"Only those that make a living out of it. You think this is bad, wait until you see the bathing suits."
"Bathing? Suits? Who wants to bath in a suit? Elijah?"
"Its swim wear sister." Rebekah rolled her eyes as Klaus and Stefan snickered at Rebekah. She threw them a hate glare as she tried to see where some sound was coming from.
"What is that noise! It sounds like a cable car accident!"
"Its dance music." Rebekah glanced to Stefan who shrugged as she shook her head and growled a bit.
"People actually dance to this?"
"Yeah Rebekah. Its going to be ok, I had to help Nik adjust as well. Just dont try to take his phone, hes addicted to Cut The Rope."
"Cut the rope? What the hell is that?" Rebekah glanced to Trixie before turning to Klaus who scowled as he put his phone away that he had taken out while they were dress hunting. Trixie snickered as she turned to go change and Rebekah stared at him.
"Dont worry, she'll show you as well I bet. Please hurry and choose something to wear for the day, we can finish the dress shopping later."
"Who pissed in your Cheerios Nik!" He grunted as Trixie came back out in jeans and a nice fitting white tee with a pink heart on it and the word 'vampires' written in red in the middle.
"No one love, just need to meet a deadline."
"Like literally a dead line or you just running out of time?"
"Now I remember why I loved you! You are so good at aggravating him and unlike me he cant dagger you!" Rebekah smiled as Trixie nodded and turned to Klaus as he rolled his eyes and Stefan grinned. Rebekah sighed ad she went to change into something else and when she had disappeared Katherine sighed and shook her head.
"I liked the dress she was wearing, nice way to make her feel pretty Klaus. She is your sister."
"She did look good." Stefan shrugged as Rebekah sighed loudly and called to them.
"I can tell when your lying Stefan!" Everyone chuckled as Stefan shrugged to Klaus and he shook his head.
"Nice one man."
"Hey you undaggered her."
"I HEARD THAT!" Klaus laughed then getting up and walking to the door trying to stay out of his sisters wrath path but as Trixie walked up to him he smiled and held his arm out for her.
"So whats going on?"
"What do you mean love?"
"What was Rebekah undaggered for to begin with? You didnt wake everyone did you?" She looked at him in anticipation but he sighed and shook his head sadly.
"Im sorry love, right now she was needed to find out why my hybrids arent working."
"Oh, so later?" Klaus shrugged as Rebekah came back wearing jeans and a white shirt with accents on it making Trixie smile.
"Finally something that's a bit classy. Im ready Nik, do you think she would be done?" Trixie glanced to Klaus as he shrugged and Rebekah nodded in response.
"Whos ready?"
"No one love. We will meet you and Elijah back at the apartment later?"
"Sure Nik, sure." Trixie sighed as she walked back to Katherine and Elijah where they were compelling some of the stores workers to take the purchased items back to the hotel Klaus had gotten for them. Rebekah turned to Klaus as Trixie got out of earshot and frowned to him.
"She wont forgive you if you dont wake him." Klaus sighed as he knew his sister was right but right now wasnt the best time. Until he could find out what was happening with his hybrids, he couldnt let Kol be a threat to them because of his petty grudge he held against him.
Elijah put his phone back in his pocket as he glanced to the two girls talking at the table in front of him. As he sighed and walked over to them he put on a smile when they looked up but Trixie knew instantly that something was wrong.
"What is it? Let me guess, hes busy and not coming?" Elijah frowned as she hit the nail on the head.
"Oh god, hybrids are more important."
"Katherine." She shrugged as Elijah reprimanded her but Trixie waved it off.
"No, shes right, he is acting like they are more important. Im going to go talk with him. You going to be ok?"
"Girl I will see you tonight right?"
"Yes, why?"
"because an hour or two wont be nothing compared to the almost six weeks. We will be fine. Text if you need me." Trixie nodded as she glanced to Elijah but he looked a bit disturbed.
"Just go to the warehouse on 14th and 8th. It is where he took Stefan and Rebekah to feed."
"Great, I can rash their dinner party then." Trixie nodded as she got up out of the table ad started to walk to the address Elijah gave her. She had been with them since Klaus, Stefan and Rebekah had left them at the clothing store, Klaus promising to come eat dinner with them later that night, but now it seemed as if he had forgotten yet another engagement with her. She sighed as she got closer and closer tot he warehouse but as she was about to try and find the entrance sh noticed Stefan walking around the back and doing his sneaky Stefan moves as she rushed down the dark ally and disappeared into the crowded streets. She watches him and as he leaves her eyesight she waited a moment to see if either of the originals were leaving as well but when she noticed it was just Stefan she knew he would be up to no sighed as she reluctantly followed him and found him walking as fast as he could with humans around towards a bar. She noticed the sign and knew it was the witch that Klaus had been seeing but as she watched Stefan go in she knew trouble was about to start. She took her phone out and made the faithful text.
'Kat, I need you at the bar where Nik has been going to c the witch. Stefan gone in, alone. Worried, Hurry! - T' She waited and as she got a text back she smiled.
'Kay, b there n 5. Dont do n-e-thing stupid! - Kitty Kat' She snickered at the stupid part and walked closer to the door. She looked in and saw the witch giving Stefan a migraine but since she was a lone witch and wasnt supposed to be known of anyways she waited for Katherine when she noticed the witch putting a knocked out Stefan on a table. She growled a bit when she noticed that the witch cut his arms but as she shoved hooks into his arms she about lost it.
"Im glad you took my advice. Elijah thinks I went out for a drink, we better hurry." Trixie smiled as Katherine let them in and as they creeped out to where they could see the witch and Stefan they heard Stefan scream as the witch touched him with her hands.
"What the hell?"
"Vervain, smell it."
"Yeah, and witch hazel." Trixie shivered remembering that if used the wrong way witch hazel could bring a witch down in a heart beat but as Stefan screamed again Trixie grunted and went to stand.
"No! We need to see whats going on." Trixie shook her head as she listened to their conversation a bit more closely.
"Just let go honey, it would be easier. There, now that's better. Oh the girl with the necklace, you love her? Used to love her. You are protecting her? interesting."
"Stop Gloria, dont do this!"
"Shes the doppelganger! interesting. During the ritual Klaus was supposed to use her blood, I wonder if that's why his hybrids arent working. He has to continue using her blood?" Katherine shook her head before nodding to Trixie and walking with her cautiously towards the witch and Stefan.
"Ok this is creepy."
"Hands off my friend!" Gloria turned stunned towards them and as Trixie held her hands out Gloria was sent to the other side of the room with a huff as she slammed against the wall. Katherine set to getting Stefan free and as she helped him sit up Trixie glared to Gloria who was getting back up.
"A half breed? Thats what else he was hiding from me? Klaus is a bit of a spoils sport when it does come to sharing doesnt he?"
"He cant share whats not his!" Trixie glared at Gloria as she went to take a step towards her, holding her hand out and tightening it into a fist, trying to hurt Trixie but she just felt a tiny prick on the side of her head. She smiled as she held her hand out and set fire to all the table clothes close to them.
"Fire starter?"
"elemental. Those witch tricks wont work on me, Im not a full vampire idiot!" She thrusted her hand out further and drove Gloria back to the wall before Stefan rushed to her and stabbed her in the heart with a stake.
"She wasnt a vampire either Stefan."
"Shut up Katherine! I know, she needed to die though."
"WHY!" Trixie glared at Stefan as he just realized what he had done in front of her and frowned.
"She was going to tell Klaus."
"What about, Elena's necklace?" Trixie glance to Katherine as she smugly leaned up against a pool table.
"Stow it Kat! What is going on Stefan! I thought you wanted to help me with Nik and get this stuff over with!"
"I do, but I dont. He is going to need Elena for the transformation to complete right and if that means I lose her, then I can't do it. I wont let him know anything about her if it means she dies."
"She wont, cant you trust me about that?"
"You cant tell me what he would and wont do."
"I can Stefan! He has been listing to me the whole summer and if this is the way you think you are going to help her you are wrong! What happened to just letting her go! Shes with Damon practically anyways! What about Rebekah? Elijah told me about you and her's past. Come on Stefan! Just...stop." Stefan glanced around to the bar and how things were burnt and the witch was now dead at his feet. Katherine patted him on the shoulder and as he glanced to her she nodded to the door.
"Go, we will clean up. You need a second to cool off and she needs to calm down." Stefan nodded as he rushed out and Trixie screamed and slammed her hands onto a table, breaking it clean in half.
"I cant believe him! He knows how against killing witches I am and he does it just to keep her safe! When is he going to learn, that he is nothing different form Damon. Shes going to use him, abuse him, and ultimately kill him! Why protect her!" Trixie turned to see Katherine hauling the witches body over her shoulders and shrugging. Trixie growled as she went to clear the tables off all signs of fire and while she finished the last table Katherine walked back in smiling.
"Witch is gone."
"Thanks." Trixie grumbled as she turned and held the trash bag of bloodied rags and burnt clothes out. Katherine took it and walked out the back door, glancing to her before she left.
"Just think about this Trixie. If he still loves her, he is going to have to see first hand how she doesnt love him. He wont get over her by hearsay and he had to forget Rebekah all those years ago. Maybe he is just confused." Trixie scoffed as Katherine continued to take the trash out while Trixie fixed up the pool tables and got the bar back to what it should look like when closed. She was sighing to herself when she heard the door open again and she smiled a bit before turning around.
"I know what you mean Kat. I just dont understand why he would do this and betray us. I trusted him, I trusted he would believe in me and let me handle Nik. He knows Nik wont kill Elena, he wouldnt because I asked. He wouldnt now, but to do this! To hide this from me and from him! Its like he lied to me the whole time this summer as well, telling me he was over her and ready to move on. Who can I trust if I can't trust him? And here I thought I had helped him enough to earn that trust. Im just stupid aint I Kat?" Trixie put her head in her hands as she heard footsteps walking towards her. They were a bit heavy and as she expected it to be Stefan coming back to talk to her she turned but gasped in shock as she saw a smiling face looking her over.
"Oh, this is interesting now love. You did help him, a bit too much to my liking, but now that hes gone and lost that trust, I do hope you make a better judgement and tell me exactly what happened here tonight." Klaus glared at her as she took a deep breath and looked around before grinning a bit and nodding towards Klaus. He grinned as he sat beside her and she looked at him. It was going to be a long night.
