A/N: Please forgive me if this chapter is confusing because, honestly, this chapter just popped into my mind today. I should probably start trying to find more time to write so that I can update more often too, so I promise I'll think about what to write for "Revenge & Power" whenever I have free time! Anyways, enjoy (I hope)!
Katherine hated being human. A few days after her goody-two shoes doppelganger Elena forced her to take the cure, she had gotten sick with a bad cold and had to buy cough medicine at a local convenience store. She, Katherine Pierce, had had to actually buy something. The concept had been foreign to her and she hadn't bought anything in over a hundred years so, naturally, Katherine was seriously infuriated with Elena for making her change back into a human. She hated being unable to Compel humans now even more so than before, when she was still human. She wanted new clothes, accessories and shoes. Especially shoes. The only good thing that Katherine seemed to have going for her right now was the fact that Klaus had left town. However she was sure that once Klaus found out that she was human again, he would kill her. That was how much Klaus hated her. Katherine yanked her jacket off of the coat rack that stood close to the front door of her apartment and the coat rack came crashing down onto the floor. Katherine sighed in exasperation. Stupid coat rack, she thought as she set it upright again. Her car keys and cell phone fell out of her jacket pocket as she was fixing the coat rack and she gritted her teeth, trying not to scream in frustration. She swooped up her keys and phone before angrily leaving her apartment. She slammed the door behind her and told herself that Elena was going to pay for what she had done. All Katherine had to do was visit the one person who would listen to what Katherine had to say.
Rebekah was in her room reading a beauty magazine when she heard someone pounding on the front door of her family's mansion. She considered answering it, but ignored it and went back to reading her magazine. When the pounding started getting insistently louder, she thought that it might be Matt coming to visit her. She dropped her magazine on her bed and speeded downstairs to answer it. When Rebekah opened the door, she saw that it wasn't Matt at all. Instead, it was someone that she had not been expecting.
"Katherine," she said flatly. Katherine gave her a forced smile and asked,
"Where's Elijah?" Rebekah ignored the Petrova doppelganger's question and poked fun at her.
"I heard about what happened, but I think you deserved it," Rebekah said in a sugar sweet tone.
"I need to see Elijah," Katherine said. Rebekah continued speaking as if she hadn't heard her.
"Now Nik will be able to kill you and torture you even more easily than before, once he finds out about your new…condition," the blond Original said nonchalantly. Even though Katherine felt tempted to punch or hurt Rebekah, she forced herself to stand still because she knew that she could never win a physical fight against an Original vampire when she didn't have the special advantages that came with being a vampire. Rebekah's eyes glittered with childish glee at Katherine's new state, but that ended when Elijah finally came out of his room and went to stand beside Rebekah with a saucer and a cup of his favourite tea. He hadn't spilled a single drop when he was zooming down the stairs at vampire speed.
"Rebekah, I would like a word with Katerina in private please," he said.
"Fine," Rebekah said reluctantly. She ran out of the house at vampire speed. As soon as she was out of sight, Elijah met Katherine's gaze.
"You wanted to see me?" Elijah questioned politely before taking a small sip of tea.
"It's about Elena," Katherine said, practically spitting out her doppelganger's name like it was something poisonous.
"What about Elena?" Elijah asked.
"She made me take the cure," Katherine admitted. Elijah looked absolutely aghast at her revelation and Katherine knew that no one had tried to tell him the news.
"I—I need your help. If Klaus finds out that I'm a human, he'll—" Katherine said pathetically. Elijah regained control over his emotions and held up a hand to cut her off.
"What happens to you is no longer my business. Besides, he's in New Orleans right now, trying to take back control from his former protégé," Elijah said calmly as he took another sip of tea.
"So you're just going to let me die?" Katherine asked. She was getting a little anxious. Would Elijah really let Klaus hurt her? Elijah studied her face for a long while.
"Maybe. You did lie to me after all," he finally said.
"But Elijah—" Katherine said. Elijah cut her off again by holding up his free hand.
"Perhaps it is time that you learn you cannot always have what you want," he said. Katherine didn't know what to say to that so Elijah gently closed the door and locked it, leaving Katherine to stare at the front door of the Mikaelson mansion.
A/N: So what did you guys think? Was this chapter good, or did it suck? Also, what do you think will happen to Katherine? Will she really die, or will she survive?
