Life of Katherine and Klaus

Back To Chicago

Katherine breathed in the air glad she was back.

She smiled thinking she was going to see two very surprised people who were going to see her. She didn't really care about the third person.

Katherine got out of the taxi a few blocks watching Stefan and Klaus get out of the black pick up truck and walk into a familiar bar. She smiled thinking of Gloria. That woman did have a great singing voice. But she wasn't the one she was waiting for. So she walked away thinking to get herself something to eat.

She wanted to go to her apartment but decided against it thinking Klaus might go there at some point when he takes some time away from Stefan. Katherine did not want to be alone with the hybrid not unless it was in front of another Original.
Katherine gets back into the taxi and notices Klaus doesn't look happy about something. She smiles thinking maybe she will skip that snack of her's after all.

She tells the taxi to follow at distance the same vehicle. When she realizes they're getting closer to an empty warehouse she tells the taxi to let her out and speeds through alleys instead.

Katherine watches as the three vampires walk into a clothing store. She laughs at the idea of what Rebekah must be thinking when she tries on this decades clothes. Then she notices Klaus and Stefan stay answering Rebekah's question. So she walks close enough to have Stefan spot her after motion him to follow her she turns her head and laughs how annoyed Klaus must be having to help his younger sister select something for her to wear.

Katherine talks to Stefan. Scoffed Stefan not taking her advice. Stefan walks off in the opposite direction. So she goes back thinking maybe she will give Gloria a surprise. Instead she sees Stefan tied down and smirks until she hears him scream.
Katherine saves Stefan's life. Then she rolls her eyes noticing he wasn't going to listen to her walks off and heads back down the direction near the clothing store and think maybe she will head to her apartment after all. But seeing Rebekah and Klaus walk out she decides to head for the warehouse instead.

Rebekah and Klaus walk out with Klaus breathing how glad he is that she's finally decided on a dress that she is satisfied with until Rebekah smiling face stills facing forward in the direction Stefan was walking earlier for a bit holding her hand out. Rebekah had noticed from afar a familiar waves of locks turn around a corner down an alley way. She turns around tells her older brother that she still feels a bit thirsty and wants to grab herself a bite to eat. Klaus agrees that they'll meet up at the warehouse since he still had business to discuss with Gloria.

“ Nik. I'm still feeling a bit parched. I think I'll grab myself a bite to eat if you don't mind.” she smiles at him.

“ Not at all. I just remembered something that I need to talk to Gloria about.' he points his finger as he's walking away from her in the direction Stefan was just walking. “ So then will meet up back at the warehouse.” he says taking out his cellphone.

“ Lovely that should give me enough time.” she smiles waving at her older brother. Then turns in the opposite direction to where she saw the familiar person she hadn't seen in awhile. She waits until Klaus is distracted with his cellphone. Then she walks at a faster pace towards down the street in the direction of the warehouse which she is certain is where the girl was headed.

Katherine goes to the alleyway and grabs a thief trying to rob someone she compels the thief to drop the gun when he turns it on her and then to stay where he's at, then she tells the woman to leave and the lady runs out of there, she turns to the guy swearing at her and threatening her, she grabs her snack and tells him that “This is going to hurt.” then bites into his neck quickly sinking her teeth in.

Klaus walking down the street when he receives a text. He looks at it then looks up thinking for a second then stops walking as people pass him. Then he remembers Rebekah waving at him and realizes something isn't right here. Rebekah doesn't usually wave at him when they part ways unless she's up to something or upset about something. He shakes his closed fists bobbing his head and down in a frown.

Katherine wipes her lips and throws the guy into the garbage takes out a match and throws it behind her burning the body with the trash and speeds off.

Klaus following his instincts he lifts his cellphone to his ear. He starts walking in the opposite direction that Rebekah was walking earlier.
Katherine cellphone rings. But she ignores it. She keeps walking towards the warehouse.

When she heads back to the warehouse she notices that someone is following her. She keeps walking and turns around with one hand on her hip and stands smiling at Rebekah.

“ What no “Hello” or hug. Nice dress by the way.”
“Thanks. Katerina.” Rebekah stands there at a distance frowning. “What are you doing here?' the Original tilts her head down a bit “give me one reason I shouldn't walk over there and tear your throat out. And no not hello more like goodbye.” She speeds towards her and Katherine speeds backwards.
“ Now now Rebekah I wouldn't do that if I were you. You do know that your brother still wants me to pay for what he did to his own brothers.” she lifts her head staring at the blonde Original.
“Are you telling me that all my brothers knew you were in town when we were in New Orleans.” Rebekah eyes creased at that piece of news.

“That's right. Well not together.”
“ Why should I believe you?”
“ Why would I have a reason to lie to you?”
“ Because you are a liar.”
“ Or maybe its because you don't want to believe that Klaus wouldn't tell you.”

“ So it wasn't enough to have Finn and Sage help you escape before. You had to have Kol be taken away from me as well.” She laughed harshly.

“ It's not what you think. The part you heard is wrong back then. I didn't say I would run away with Kol.” she glanced down at the ground then back at Rebekah. “He was the one that suggested I should leave.”

“ And Elijah helped.”

“ Actually no he didn't. He was mad since he knew that Klaus knew I was in town and that you helped me see Kol so I could apologize. Even though I tried to apologize to you but you wouldn't hear a damn thing I was saying. Blaming me for Finn when he was the one acting gallant. I didn't ask he offered.” Katherine crossed her arms then dropped them to her side's hearing her cellphone go to text.

Rebekah crossed her arms trying to think then smiled bitterly at Katherine.
“ That's because you couldn't choose which of my brother's you'd rather be with.”

“ It's not as easy as you think. There's more to the story then I've told you. So much so that even I don't know it all seeing there's blanks in my memories. That I'm guessing only Klaus can fill them in and I'm not exactly thrilled about seeing him so soon.” she glanced at her cellphone seeing that it was Klaus calling.

“I wouldn't worry about Nik I told him I was going to feed. And I mean too.” she gives Katherine a wicked grin.
Katherine shock to hear her say “feed” opens her eyes a bit wide for a split second. Then straightens herself. She chokes up a laugh and smiles at her. “You sure haven't changed a bit Rebekah.”
Klaus heads for the warehouse through the alleys.

“ And you did Katerina. Considering we were friends once. Until you stabbed me in the back, literally.” she grits her teeth remembering.
“ I can explain that.” she said cautiously.
“Really. I don't think I'd like to hear any excuse you may have for me. Since it seems I can't trust you.” Rebekah tilted her cross arms in an angle then her head at her. “By the way have you seen Kol lately?”
“ No he hasn't been released yet. Otherwise I would have.”
“ Of course you would seeing as he would be foolish enough to trust you again. But considering since Nik hasn't released him must mean he still hasn't quite forgiven him yet. And it is again your fault that my poor brother is still stuck inside a casket.”

Katherine frowns stands straighter placing her hand on her back.

“ Trust me. You were the one saying we were friends. But were we really? See I don't recall friends thinking that they sleep with each others ex's. Like you did for instance.” she purses her lips into a frown. “ And I wouldn't be saying “poor Kol” when you have no idea what he did to you.” She smirks at her.

Rebekah scoffs at that. “That's it.' she smiles then looks at Katherine. “You're dead.”

Klaus walks into the warehouse and speeds towards inside hearing Rebekah yelling at someone. He gets there and grabs Rebekah from around the waist from about to kill whoever it was that made her mad. He turns to Rebekah. “Enough little sister.' he sets her down and stares her down. “Who in blazes would you have to kill enough to make you this enraged.” He glances to see who the woman had to be. Then back at Rebekah. Then stops and turns himself towards Katherine standing frowning.

“ Katerina.” he says sighing.

“ Looks like you forgot to tell Rebekah I said “Hi.” but that's alright we already decided to start the conversation without you.” she shifts her jaw.

Rebekah stands crossing her arms standing at an angle from Klaus stance next to him. Not pleased that she didn't at least get to bite Katherine neck for getting her riled up.

Klaus looks to Rebekah and smiles sarcastically. “Katerina says “Hi.” isn't that nice of her.” She looks at him her eyes saying Really-you-gotta-to-be-kidding-me. Seeing that Rebekah isn't happy at all at his little joke he turns to Katherine.

“ I should have known when you weren't answering your phone that you were going to come here and see Rebekah for yourself seeing that you two were quite chummy in the past.”
“ We were.” Rebekah replies.
“ Were?” Klaus looks to his sister then to Katherine.
“ We were until she stabbed me in the back literally remember Nik.”
“Ah yes that.” he says then holds in his breathe knowing he said the wrong thing to his sister.

Rebekah unfolds her arms throwing them out and starts yelling.“Yes that. That's all you have to say to me after seeing us in the same room again.” Klaus holds out his hand for her to calm down. She starts arguing with him until Katherine steps forward.
“ I can explain you know.” she says unzipping her purse to reach for something inside until Rebekah turns to her and says. “Fine then just one question. Why?”

Katherine glances up then says “Kol.” Then she goes back into reaching for the second cellphone she has. Then holds it out to her. “Here I have something for you.”

Rebekah sighs out loud. “That makes sense. Fine then.” She looks at Katherine trying to hand her something. “ What is it?” Katherine gives her a confused look. “ A cellphone.” but she keeps staring at it. “ What for?” her hands still crossed not bothering to take it from her.

Katherine looks at Klaus her eyes telling him Really-you-didn't-tell-her.
“ We didn't exactly have time.” he says coughing an excuse.
Katherine smiles pissed. “Really especially in between your feedings. You couldn't just whip out your own cellphone and explain for five minutes.” she gritted her teeth.

“Can we not discuss my brotherly issues right now.”

Katherine shakes her head then lets him continue.

Klaus tells his little sister that its alright to take the object from Katherine's hand.
Rebekah stares at him while he talks.
“ It's a portable device you can speak to people who have one as well. Like a pay phone but you can carry it at far range.” She nods her head understanding now what it is. Tells Katherine “Thank you for the gift.” then takes it from Klaus's hands.
Katherine takes out her own cellphone and shows Rebekah. “I already added my number in there so we can chat a little more about the things we didn't discuss.”
Klaus places his hands on Rebekah's arms already trying to figure out how to use the portable little device.

“Rebekah why don't you take your new gift that Katerina has given you and go somewhere for a bit and let me talk to her privately.” She stops fiddling with it and looks at him. “Nik.” He gives her a look.

Then she pressed her lips together and walks out of Klaus
embrace. “If he does anything call me.” Katherine tries to smile and nods her head. Klaus surprised at hearing his sister accuse him does a little turn and waits for them to finish talking.

Rebekah walks up to Katherine who is cautious and gives her an awkward hug. “Even though this couldn't be better timing. I guess I'm glad to see one more familiar face I recognize though we have are differences. But as seeing I know you're not lying to me about what we discussed.”
Katherine wraps her arms around Rebekah in a quick hug. “ It's good to see you too.” she says quietly. “Call me so we can talk.” she says letting Katherine go.
Katherine gives her a small smile. “I will.”

Then she starts walking away towards her older Original brother and looks back at Katherine still trying to smile at her and walks past her own brother who glances at her as she passes him. She wants to say something to him but decides against it and keeps looking straight walks ahead.

“So then.” he says clapping his hands together.
“ You really couldn't spend five minutes just to explain to her something that is a necessity.” she blinked her eyes then put her cellphone away but not before noticing a text from Rebekah saying.

Rebekah txt
I'm just down the hall.

She reads the other text earlier sent by Klaus.

Klaus txt
Where are you, sweetheart?

Then she puts it inside her purse not zipping it.
“I would have given time but I'm kinda in the middle of something else right now. It seems since she now has your number she can just ask you.”
“ I knew you would do this. That's why I prepared her that phone. You and your ambitions always take more priority.” she crossed her arms. “And seeing as I came to see her and not you I think I'll leave now.” she walks passed him taking her cellphone out.

Then she leaves with him taking a breathe standing there and pasts Rebekah looking at her smiling. Rebekah holds her hand up and Katherine hi-fives her.
“ Dancing and drinking tonight.” she tells Rebekah.
“ Sure. I'll call you.” The blonde Original says still fiddling with her cellphone.
Klaus walks up to Rebekah hearing it but seeing that Katherine has already sped off again. He turns to look at her. “ So now you're friends again and you side with her. Seeing as I'm your older brother.”
“ You probably deserved it.” she tossed her hair then went back to her cellphone.
“ You're just still upset that I dagger you.” he said.
“ No you're wrong. I already payed you for that. It's the fact she walked off on you again that convinces me otherwise.” Rebekah smiles at her brother. She text Katherine letting her know that her brother was coming for her.

Rebekah txt
Nik hasn't given up. He's coming for you.

He frowned at his little sister and ran off after Katerina.

Stefan returns with Rebekah bored with her cellphone and puts it away.

Klaus grabs her arm and turns her around to face him. They're in the middle of a crowded street of Chicago. A bus passes them by.
“ Katerina. I know you gave her that cellphone so you could escape from me again.”

“ It only takes one button Klaus. Well no actually I already hit it. And we both know she's near enough to come racing here.” she looks at his face. Not really having lied about hitting a button just not Rebekah's number.

“ And what makes you think she didn't do as I asked?” he puts his head down then lifts his eyes raising his eyebrows at her.

“But she did. I'm not one of the Scooby doo gang members to not know any better when it comes to your family Klaus. Or has it really been that long since you can remember.”
He holds his hand out in defense. “ I just have one question to ask you before you leave.”

“And what is that?” she blinks her eyes.

“ Are last conversation. Did you really mean what you said in parting before you hung up on me?” he says trying not to make it sound bitterly biting. She walks up to him and taps his chest smiling at him frowning at her. “ Don't worry' she says smirking at him “I'll keep an eye on Stefan for you. Since you know you're, we're in my territory.”

Klaus does a little turn when she starts to walk off on him again.
“ Katerina.” he calls out.

Katherine holds up her cellphone above her head shaking it. Then starts walking off again.

Klaus sighs out loud frustrated that his Original little sister would come racing here if he were to become rash with her. She smiles hearing him sigh and gets on the bus knowing that Klaus wouldn't be able to follow after her not without leaving Rebekah behind.

Klaus returns frustrated and sees that Rebekah is staring at him not happy about something. So he looks at Stefan.
They throw Stefan's body into the van when it opens up.
Rebekah stands against the inside text Katherine.

Rebekah txt
Rein check on the dance and drink.
Nik wants to head back to a place called Mystic Falls. Tonight.

Katherine reads the text not pleased. She gets off at the next stop and calls a cab right away. She opens the taxi door and looks up at Chicago and sighs.

So much for heading for my apartment. I guess I'll be back next time. I have to get to that necklace before they do.
She gets inside closing the door and tells the taxi to drive.

On the way back to Mystic Falls Klaus fills in on Rebekah a few things.

On the way back Katherine thinks of 1920's remembering when she saw Klaus with Stefan and Rebekah, and later when Klaus found her at her apartment then looks away from the scene of Chicago. Rebekah looks at her brother's forlorn face and feeling sorry for him knowing that he failed to speak about how he felt to Katerina looks out the window of the black pick up truck. Klaus drives thinking just maybe Rebekah told Katherine that they were headed back to Mystic Falls and he be able to talk to her once again, try again. He remembers seeing Katerina after not wanting to dagger Rebekah but given the fact that she was being stubborn and Mikael being near he didn't have a choice. Rebekah holds her brother's hand and squeezes it and he looks at her. Rebekah remembers the night she talked and danced with Stefan at Gloria's night club.
