Chapter Nineteen


Once she saw her, her first thought was to get the harlot far away from her family and make sure she never sees the light of day again but then what fun would that be? Klaus had the right idea of punishing her, but to what extent? From what she could gather this Katherine was hoping and betting on the fact that they would want to keep her alive in order to carry out her punishment for her crimes against the family. But what would befitting punishment of the oh so great Katerina Petrova? Then it occurred to her, Katherine's greatest fear was death. But what the vampire didn't realize death would be a mercy compared to all the horrors that the magical world had to offer. So the real question was, what from her world is a befitting punishment for the woman that ran from her destiny then used her powers to take advantage of innocents. Innocents that included her husband.

Being a Mistress of Death meant she had certain leeway's along with responsibilities. Responsibility wise, death had told her that everyone had a course and it was her job to ensure that those that dared to try and leave that course had to face consequences. Or in more understandable words, punish and end those that try and escape death. Those like Tom and the Originals mother, those are the type of people that she would get rid of. A leeway was that as the mistress of death she had control over death's creatures, to a certain extent. Dormentors we're at her beck and call, they were what death used as grim reapers for those who had died with many sins over their head. Then a fun tidbit she had not known was that phoenixes were also a creature of death. They were the creature to lead those that had lived a life well. Thestrals and Banshees were also among the creatures, they were for signaling that death was to come or had came. Then of course there were vampires. If she uses Death's influence then she can force vampires into submission, they would feel as if they could not disobey a word she says when doing so. She however had no idea she could do anything with death's creatures until the day Katerina had tried to cause Hailey the worst pain that any women could have experienced.

The Mikaelson's had decided to have Katherine locked up in the basement. Their plan was to only give her one blood bag a week to make her too weak to access her healing. The magicals had no history with Katherine so they were asked to leave her punishment up to the vampires. Hailey had begrudgingly agreed as it was not up to her in how her husband decided what to do with the tart unless asked but she made plans just in case. Last she heard Klaus had compelled her to stick her head out of the single window in the basement when it was daylight without her ring. When he had ordered that just when she was about to die to stick her head back in. She had decided not to visit the mansion when a 'session' was in progress as she didn't want the boys to hear. Stefan had not yet taken part of a session due to the fact that Damon is once again being a nuisance. He had heard from some townies about Elena acting even more unhinged at a scene that happened in the park but that day Damon was with Elena discussing over how much a menace the Potter family had become.

So he was frequently pestering his younger brother about it as he knew it involved Katherine. Stefan could tell from the unhinged look in Damon's eyes that he was still obsessed with Katherine. It made Stefan scoff in Damon's face when he was interrogated in the Mystic Grill. It caused his other brothers, who decided to grab a drink with him, to start chuckling which caused them all to start laughing. Damon was infuriated but couldn't do anything so just left the grill in a huff.

Hailey decided to pay the mansion a visit, Kol had texted her saying he missed his magical nephews. She still hadn't gotten around to telling her in-laws about her status and her boys destiny. She and Kol got along pretty well, he was constantly asking questions that she was happy to answer and she loved seeing his reactions whenever he was reading a course book from Hogwarts. "So I'm to understand that Caelan is less magical than Cedar?" Kol asked after seeing the boys have a small tantrum at having to wait to be fed, they only calmed down after Hailey was able to find their blood infused bottles.

"Oh, um kinda? The boy's both have magic but Caelan is more in tune with his vampire nature than Cedar and Cedar in turn is more in tune with his wizard nature. The boys are the first of their kind so it's difficult to predict how it might affect them. So far they are pretty much the same when it comes to their diet but everything else is a bit different." Hailey can't say she has given it much thought. The boys sometimes even switch things up, the other day Caelan had the hiccups that caused Stefan's hair to change colors in sync with it. A few days ago Cedar was being fussy about being held by his uncle Elijah when he wanted his mom to hold him and ended up trying to nibble on his uncle's shoulder to get him to pass him to his mother. She apologized profusely at seeing Elijah's pained face and bleeding shoulder.

Kol was just playing with his nephew's foot while his sister-in-law was thinking. If he was honest with himself he was a bit jealous of them, a vampire with their magic intact. He mourned the loss of his magic but seeing it was always enough. With wand wielders magic seemed more free and beautiful. Just as he smiled at the thought Cedar giggled causing the grey henley Kol was wearing to become a bright neon pink which caused the baby to giggle harder making his shirt like a flash mob of colors following the baby's laughter. He was amazed once again by how different wiccans and wand wielders were. Once the baby boy had gotten bored of the flashing colors Kol was left in a royal purple with wretched yellow polka dots. He was going to ask Hailey to spell his shirt back to normal but she looked very preoccupied with praising the baby for his accidental magic. He decided to flash upstairs to change at a human pace to give Hailey some alone time with the boys.

Then all of a sudden there was a crash and in a flash a very feral Katherine had appeared in front of Hailey. Her mouth was drenched in blood which made her extremely worried ,had Katherine been starved of blood to the point that she attacked someone in the pack? Kol had flashed down immediately but it was too late. Katherine had flashed to push Hailey hard to the far wall leaving the babies bawling for their mother and hostages to Katherine Pierce. When Stefan had felt a searing pain in his chest when he was just sitting in the parlor with some of his brothers he knew something was wrong…something happened to Hailey.
