Chapter Thirty Two

Katherine sat up, her legs felt shaky and even though she was no longer in pain she still felt that throbbing pain in her body. She stared at her sister. "Why are you making me relive the past?" she demanded. "You know as well as I that 1490-1492 were the worst years of my life."

"I wanted to show you, how everything started." Milena said coldly as she kneeled down so that she could face her sister. "How if you hadn't been stupid enough to have been impregnated by that man, Klaus would have never found you. We would have gotten to live a normal life, with mother, father, and us together. Instead our parents are killed and both of us are on the run. You from Klaus and me looking for you."

"I was in love back in 1490, I never dreamed that I would get pregnant." She said in a shaky voice. "You don't know Klaus, sooner or later he would have found me. I did what I had to do to survive, Milena. You were a traveler, you could have lived your life in somebody else's body and not chase after me."

Milena raised an eyebrow. "And let you feel peace?"

"Peace?" she gave a chocked laugh. "I haven't felt peace, I haven't slept peacefully since I turned in 1492." Katherine wanted to hate her sister, she really did. But a part of her, knew what Milena felt she had been devastated and angry when Klaus had killed her parents and for the better part of a century had blamed herself for their deaths.

Katherine remembered her sister she had been a quiet, sweet, young thing when they had been children always following her older sister. Never wanting to be the center of attention. "Milena, please you're not like this. I know you're not like this. I'm your older sister you would never try to kill me."

Milena seemed too softened for a moment, but her lips turned sharp. "You don't know who I really am, Katerina you have never known. How could you? Up until your pregnancy you were always mother and father's favorite, everyone adored you. You were so sweet and pretty and good and I was always in the shadows never looked at twice." She said harshly. "I was happy when father banished you, you think I'm still the same pathetic girl I was? Well, I'm not and to prove it, I got you a little gift." She threw something in front of Katherine.

"Belle?" she gave out a little whimper and she felt that she was going to cry. Belle's dead body was on the floor, decapitated it seemed in half. Belle had been Katherine's first present from Klaus a peace offering. Her small, humble, loyal companion. The only one that had loved Katherine though everything.

Katherine didn't even get to mourn her beloved pet when she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen that felt a lot like really bad cramps. "Ow!" she looked down and started shaking. "No, no."

There was blood on the floor. The blood was coming from her.

"Niklaus!" Elijah pushed Klaus against one of the gravestones and looked at Stefan who was struggling to get up. "You're supposed to be looking for Katerina."

"I ran into some more pressing news."

Elijah looked disgusted as Stefan finally stood up. "The mother of your children is in danger. Your obsession with killing Rebekah is getting out of hand. I am upset of what Rebekah did as well, but she made a mistake just like me and you have done, but she is our sister in the end."

"Save me the we are family speech." Klaus snapped. "Stefan, already gave it to me."

Elijah turned to Stefan. "Are you all right?"

Stefan held his side and nodded. "I'm fine," his green eyes widened in disappointed as Rebekah came towards them. "Rebekah, what are you doing here?"

"I wasn't going to leave you behind." Rebekah glared at Klaus. "Besides this is between me and Klaus."

"Oh, good all four of you are here." Monique said as she approached them. "I have a message from Celeste that will locate you to where Katherine is."

"Maybe if I rip you head off, it will send a clearer message, love." Klaus said.

Monique ignored him. "This is the riddle that will help you find Katherine, Bound by blood, a different face, centuries apart, the music will play. Good luck."
