Chapter Fourteen

Katherine walked down the stairs and was just heading towards the kitchen when she saw Klaus and Elijah reading each a book in the living room while a dead girl's body lay on the table in front of them. She sucked in her breath, she knew she was acting extremely childish, but she was in no mood to face Elijah until he came clean with the whole Tatia mess, which wouldn't come quickly if Katherine used every opportunity to hide from him.

Katherine ran into the kitchen as fast as she could.

"Subtle, isn't she?" Klaus responded sarcastically. "What did you do to make her angry? And aren't you enjoying your gift?" he motioned towards the dead girl that lay on the table.

"I don't want your gift," he snapped. "A change in behavior might be nice though, and you better not have said anything to anger her."

Klaus shrugged as he returned to his poetry. "She's been too busy trying to get herself killed, rest assure one of these days I will."

Elijah sighed as he headed to the kitchen where Katherine was pulling out a container of ice cream, cherries, chocolate sauce and whipped cream. "Chocolate chip ice cream my favorite." She said to herself as she prepared herself a small sundae, Elijah couldn't help but be amused as he watched her pour half of the chocolate sauce in the bowl.

"Good morning," he said as he pointed to the bowl. "And that is not exactly healthy."

Katherine shrugged as she took a spoonful of ice cream. "Well, pregnant woman have cravings and you siblings have been letting me eat whatever I want for the last three months so I wouldn't try to change my dietary habits."

Elijah counted to ten in his head to not let his patience diminish. "Can you please tell me what's got you so angry?"

"I'm not angry!"

"Well, you're obviously upset about something."

"No, Elijah why should anything be remotely wrong?" she practically threw the spoon at him. "I was turned into a human by my whiny, pathetic doppelganger and got impregnated by Klaus who has been trying to kill me ever since he meet me while you've been napping. No why would anything be wrong?"

"It wasn't exactly my choice, Katerina!"

"Could you two speak any louder?" Rebekah said sarcastically as she dragged the girl's body all over the kitchen floor. "I don't think the neighbor's heard you."

Katherine and Elijah flushed.

"I'm doing everything I can to convince Davina that is necessary to break the link between yourself and Sophie."

Katherine dropped her bowl in the sink. "Really, Elijah don't bother. I can handle Sophie myself."

"Good riddance." Rebekah dropped the girl's body in the hole she had just dug. Stefan began pulling dirt over it, purposely avoiding looking at Rebekah.

Rebekah felt a ting of annoyance. "All right, what gives? What the hell is your problem?"

Stefan raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me?"

"You've been avoiding me, I don't like it."

"I haven't been avoiding you."

"Oh, don't give me that innocent look, you've been avoiding me ever since we kissed," she looked crestfallen. "You regret it don't you?"

Stefan hesitated as he put the shovel down. "Look Rebekah you deserve to know the truth, I don't want to lead you on. The kiss was great, but I'm just not ready for a relationship right now after-"

"Elena," she said curtly as she handed him back the shovel with more force that necessary. "I get it Stefan she will always be your number one and I will always be your rebound. Glad that nothing has changed in the last 90 years."

"Katerina."

Opps.

Katherine forced herself to turn around and face the man she had been avoiding for at least a week. Elijah was clutching a few pieces of his mother's grimore which she guess he was going to deliver to Davina. He had an annoyed look on his face.

"Yes, Elijah?"

Elijah took a step forward until he was only inches away from Katherine's face. "Why have you've been avoiding me?"

Katherine let out a low smirk. "I haven't been avoiding you."

"Really?" Elijah snorted in disbelief. "You've hardly said two words to me ever since I came back and every time you do look at me, you look like you want to kill me." He lowered his voice. "If I did anything to make you unhappy please tell me."

Katherine felt a lump in her throat and she felt her voice shaking. "Why don't you go look through your diary, all the answers are there."

Elijah fought the urge to run after her and demand what she meant by that.

"Well that went lovely, apparently both of us are having lover quarrels today," Rebekah said as she came in from outside.

Elijah narrowed his eyes at Rebekah. "If you know something, sister please enlighten me."

Rebekah cocked her head to the side. "Katherine found out about you and Tatia, I heard her and Nik talking about it the other day. Apparently she thinks that you are just using her as Tatia's replacement."

Elijah crossed his arms over his chest. "That's absurd, Tatia and Katerina are nothing alike."

She raised her hands up in defeat. "You don't have to convince me of that."

"What is it Agnes?" Sophie said as she entered the cemetery. "I don't exactly have time for a pep talk."

Two men suddenly came behind Sophie and grasped her by the arms. "Hey!" Sophie attempted to kick them, but they ignored her kicks and tied Sophie's hands with metal shackles. Her eyes widened when she saw Agnes walking towards her holding a needle. "What the hell are you doing?"

"We can't risk it, Sophie," Agnes said quietly. "Sabine's visions are always true, we must put an end to this ridiculous pregnancy."

Sophie gave a cold laugh. "So you're going to kill me? Yeah, that will go great with Klaus, he will carry your head on a stick."

Agnes softened. "I'm not going to kill you Sophie, this injection will only make you uncomfortable, but since you're linked to Katherine it will affect her and kill the two devils spawns that she's carrying."

"No, Agnes no, no!" Sophie protested, but Agnes ignored her and instead jabbed the needle in her throat.

Katherine was checking her mascara and blush in the mirror, the best mirror in the whole house as far as she was concerned while being grateful that Elijah wasn't in the house. Despite being mad at him for the whole Tatia fiasco, she still couldn't help feel even a little bit guilty by how cold she had been to him in the past week. She wasn't the only one acting weird Rebekah and Stefan had been avoiding each other like the plague. The only normal one seemed to be Klaus at the moment.

Katherine suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head as she felt the tube of mascara roll from her hand. She felt a throbbing in her head and she started feeling prickly. She shivered. What the hell was wrong with her?

She put a hand on her forehead to stop the dizziness. Great, she thought she had gotten over the morning sickness part. Apparently Mother Nature wanted to make her suffer a little.

"Katerina, what have I told you about leaving your junk all over the place?" Klaus snapped. He frowned when he saw the way that Katherine was standing. "What's wrong, love?"

She shook her head. "Nothing."

She took a step and almost at once felt a rush of dizziness, she was sure that she was about to fall, but Klaus gripped her by the waist. He felt the heat of a fever radiating from her without even touching her. "You're burning up."

Katherine looked at him, trying not to look scared. "What's wrong?"

Even Klaus looked clueless. His jaw tightened. "I don't know."
