Mystic Falls

(Klaus POV)

Elijah and Katerina were still being distracted by Rebekah and Marcel, and I was very happy for this because today was a very important day. That's why I'm in a secret meeting with Dahlia. I had a plan to work through with her.

"Why did you want to meet with me in secrecy Niklaus?" she asked, as if she were suspicious. I only looked at her with my eyes, not daring to move my head to look at her, least she see my smirk. I can't look arrogant.

"I'm only here to offer you something you deeply desire." I informed her. She gave me a smirk of her own.

"And what exactly is that?" She replied.

"To be stronger than your sister, my mother, Esther." She laughed at me.

"And what makes you think I'm not? Did I not prove that I was stronger than her just a few months ago?" Now I looked up at her, letting her see my own smirk.

"Oh? Then I suppose you could recreate that very same spell my mother, Esther, your sister, used to make us immortal?" She frowned. I had the upper hand, just like I knew I did.

"And what can you do to make that even possible Niklaus?"

"I won't tell you, then you'd have the upper hand wouldn't you?" I asked, smirking as I tilted my head, knowing she knew I was telling the truth.

"Then how do I know you even speak the truth?" She demanded.

"I have seen it be done before. You'll just have to trust me won't you? I only request one thing."

"And what thing is that?" She asked. I opened my mouth in my smile to show my teeth.

"I want you to bring Rose and Trevor back."

(Tyler POV)

Lately Kai's been spending less time with us and more time with Bonnie. Of course Jeremy was spending more time with Bonnie too. Which left Kol and I alone most of the time. However what I saw today was the most extraordinary thing I've ever seen Kai doing.

"What are you doing Kai?" I asked. He looked up from the small table that Bonnie, Jeremy, Kai, Ms. Cuddles, and Jeremy's stuffed badger Biskit were sitting. He looked up as he finished pouring tea into Biskit's cup. Bonnie was smiling as she picked up her cup.

Kai immediately got up and forced us into chairs before shoving us in. Bonnie looked at him with a frown and Kai bowed. "Please have a seat. We're having a cup of coffee. Or tea if you prefer." He turned to Bonnie. "Sugar? Milk?"

"I will have some of both. Thank you Kai. You know you didn't need to do this."

"Well when I saw how you liked it when Lily did it, I thought this would be a good time to be inquisitioned by you, Bonnie. To make you see I've changed, for the better and not the worst." He replied as he gave her some milk and sugar for her cup.

"Okay. So… what do you do when someone's in danger?"

"Save them. No matter what. Let me say something interesting. I'm the leader of my coven but my coven is the Gemini so if I die, then they die." I stared at him.

"So Kai, why do you spend so much time with Bonnie? Got a crush?" I teased. He looked at me and Bonnie almost spat out her drink. Jeremy glared at me. Kol laughed.

"Don't be ridiculous Tyler!" Jeremy demanded. I raised my hands in defense.

"It was just a joke!" I replied.

"A funny one." Kai narrowed his eyes before standing up and storming off. Damn it.

"Kai! Kai come back! Kai!" I called after him but he didn't listen.

"I don't have a crush on her." He called back. I sighed and glared at Kol.

"What? Was it something I said?" He asked. I stood up and went after Kai and Kol looked back after me, trying to grab my wrist. "Tyler! Damn. Hybrids get so touchy. There's a reason people try to keep Nik happy, you know." Kol sighed.

(Klaus POV)

I was sitting in the basement of my house watching the bodies of Trevor and Rose. Dahlia had agreed and I had quickly delivered three different massacres and Dahlia had gladly brought them back. Of course I'd made sure that New Orleans was in the middle of the triangle. All I had to do was wait for them to wake up. Speaking of which…

Trevor and Rose both gasped for air. I'd already fed Rose's sleeping body my blood just in case she came back just to die again. I remember the girl who bit her. I'd sacrificed her to become a hybrid. Elijah had been the one to kill Trevor I believe.

They sat up gasping until they caught their breath. They looked at each other before quickly hugging. I cleared my throat and they turned to look at me. I stood up and they instantly started cowering. Just what I missed from my other life. The one I had before I came back to New Orleans.

"Klaus? It was my fault! She stabbed herself before I could stop her but I fed her vampire blood but she hung herself! I should have kept a closer eye on her! I'm sorry, please don't hurt Trevor!" She cried. Trevor shook his head at Rose.

"Are you crazy Rose?" He stepped in front of her. "Take me Klaus, I'm the one who stole her away! It was my idea!" I frowned, giving them a worried look.

"It's as if you two think you did something wrong." I stated.

"The doppelganger, Katerina Petrova, she's in Mystic Falls in the cavern." Rose said. I smirked.

"How do you know this?" I asked. They were too busy trying to save their lives to realize that they were dead only a few minutes ago.

"Because Elena Gilbert, the human doppelganger, told us." Rose replied.

"I thought it was Elijah who stole Katerina." Trevor shook his head.

"I framed him." I sneered at him, vamping over and throwing him against the wall as Rose screamed in terror. Then I heard the door slam open to the garage as Katerina and Elijah vamped into the room. I smiled and released Trevor from my grasp against the wall. He fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

"Niklaus, what happened? Who are they?" Elijah asked. I saw Rose look over and spot Katerina. Her vampire face popped out and I smiled as I vamped over and threw her against the wall Trevor was sitting at. Trevor opened his eyes in terror.

"Okay. Now that I have your attention, Rose and Trevor were brought back by Dahlia. Rose, Trevor. You two are going to be Katerina's parents. If you don't want to die that is. I could easily send you back where you came from with the flick of a wrist." I warned. Katerina glared at me.

"Are you kidding me Klaus?" She demanded. I grinned at her.

"Not one bit Katerina. Consider this an 'I might not kill you' present." I told her. "You three should probably set up some rules or something, you know, since you two are now her parents. If she gives you any problems just report to me and I'll get them fixed." I told them. I left the four of them standing there, dumbfounded.
