Katherine pushed open the lobby doors and pulled out her phone, she selected Nadia's number and waited as it rang.
Katherine where are you?
That's funny i was about to ask you the same thing, i just left the hotel
I'm at Emilys campus how quickly can you get here?
I don't know 10 minutes max, why are you there anyway? making a new friend?
NO i was looking for you, just get here quickly we need to talk
Everything OK?
Yeah just get here quickly, I'll meet you at Emily's dorm
with that Nadia hung up, Katherine didn't like the sound of this, the fact that Nadia was so close to Nicky just made her even more nervous. She ran over to a nearby taxi and jumped inside, she compelled the driver and slumped back in her seat "if you run a red light it wouldn't be the end of the world".
Just as the taxi pulled up outside the campus main entrance two blurs speed past the car and off towards the city "what the hell?" Katherine exclaimed, she jumped out of her car and tried to ring Nadia again but there was no answer. "That was another vampire" Katherine thought "who found us?" she was tempted to run after them but they were long gone by now and she had someone else to check on first. She ran over to Emily's room, the door was locked so Katherine grabbed the handle and ripped it through the wood pulled the lock out with it, she stepped into the room. Luckily the only person in the room was its owner who was hunched over a laptop with earphones jammed in her ears completely oblivious to Katherines presence, when she tapped Emily on the shoulder she nearly jumped out of her skin. "Jesus Katherine you scare the crap out of.. what the hell happened to my door?" she asked staring at the hole where the handle used to be "never mind that what's going on? i just saw someone chase Nadia off" Emilys face showed her confusion "I haven't seen Nadia ive pretty much been here all day working, why what's going on?".
Nadia ran but made sure to keep her speed down, she could easily outrun Caroline if she wanted to but if she did that then Caroline might go back and try to find out what she was doing there and then she might be able to figure out Nadias plan. Nadia lead Caroline to one of the underground entrances and stopped making sure Caroline was close enough to she her go inside. Caroline stopped as well "you giving up already?" she asked Nadia smirked at the lame taunt before disappearing down the steps and into the Metro, she made her way through the station and headed towards one of the trains waiting at the platform. But before she could get on the train its door closed and it began to move, Nadia cursed and looked back, Caroline was struggling through a mob of people heading for the surface she wasn't looking at Nadia. Nadia jumped onto the tracks and ran into the dark tunnel, she pressed herself against the wall and shrunk down hiding herself in the shadows, she watched as Caroline ran up to the platform edge and swore loudly. Nadia grinned to herself as the visibly annoyed Caroline pulled out her phone.
Stefan i found Nadia but she got away
Shit, did she have Elena?
No she was alone at a college campus
College? what the hell is she playing at?
i dont know i think we should check out the hotel again i'm heading back there now
Caroline hung up the phone and left the station, once she was sure Caroline was gone Nadia emerged from the shadows and climbed back onto the platform, "that was easy" she said to herself before joining the crowd heading for the stairs. Nadia hailed a taxi and headed back to the college hoping that Katherine would stick around.
"There are more of you? here in Paris?" Emily asked astonished Katherine nodded "there's vampires in every city but if these one are who i think they are then we are in big trouble" Emily next question was cut off by the ringing of Katherines phone.
Nadia what's going on?
Its the Salvators they tracked us down I've lost them for now but i heard the, say they know where we're staying. im on my way back now i have a plan to lose them once and for all just be ready to go
Nadia hung up. "what did she say?" Emily asked Katherine sighed "she said its time to move on" she collapsed onto Emilys bed "i hoped my days of running were behind me but she's right if those idiots can find us then Klaus could be here in a matter of days" they sat in silence as Katherine let her mind wander. Suddenly she sat upright "if I'm leaving i don't want to lose Nicky she the answer to getting Elena back" she jumped to her feet and grabbed Emilys arm "come on we've got to find her".
They split up and began their search, "this campus is massive this'll take forever" Katherine groaned, loud voices drew her attention to a group huddled around a nearby table Katherine strode over and locked eyes with each pulling them all into her compulsion "find Nicky and bring her to me" she ordered. The group jumped to their feet and spread out in different directions "that should speed things up" Katherine smirked, and she was right within half an hour two of the group appeared dragging Nicky kicking and screaming other to Katherine dropping her at Katherines feet. "Hello beautiful" Katherine said, she dismissed the group and locked eyes with Nicky pulling once again into her compulsion "follow me and don't say a word" she ordered.
With Nicky in tow Katherine headed back to Emily's dorm room, she quickly texted her friend telling her to stop looking and turned back to her captive "I'm really sorry about this Nicky but you see i have lost something, a part of myself, and i need it back" she explained. She stepped over to the girl and brushed a stray hair behind her ear "and I'm going to have to take something from you to do it so i apologize for what I'm about to do" Katherine raised her wrist to her mouth a bit into her own flesh, blood immediately began to spill from the wound. Katherine pressed her wrist to Nickys lips "drink" she ordered, Nicky obeyed and gulped down the blood spilling a little onto the floor "good" said Katherine as she pulled back her arm allowing the wound to heal.
