Festive Mood

Tell me This Isn't Happening

Katherine sits in her seat when she has a bad feeling.
She tells herself not to call him. So instead she calls Elijah.
"Katerina is everything alright?"
" I just called to let you know I'm on my way to New York."
"Are you sure you want to do this. Are you sure you want to meet my mother?"
"Yes. I need to see her. More than I need to stay with Niklaus."
"Why more than my brother?"
"Because I can't look at him. It hurts Elijah to see him' she whispers "this way."
"Alright then, have a safe trip Katerina." He sighs.
"Elijah take care of yourself and them. I'm sorry will have to reschedule my visit when I get back."
"I will. Take care until then."

She hangs up the phone.

She gets a text from Sophia.

Sophia txt

We need to talk there something I think you need to hear.

Katherine looks at it and has a irritated feeling, hoping she's wrong.

Klaus txt

Katerina tell me where are you?

She bites her nail looking at the text Klaus had sent her and decides to look out the window. A food cart passes by and she notices the strawberries and chocolate. She orders a set hoping that'll calm her nerves.

After she takes a few bites. She gets ready to call him.
As she hears the dial tone her bad feeling returns.

"Katerina why are you calling now? I sent that text to you awhile ago."
"Well I've called now. What do you want Klaus?"

Katherine not being able to handle the emotions she was feeling took off her necklace, placing it in her purse. Next to the other dagger. She glanced quickly at a small black box.
"You know what I want. Tell me where are you headed?"
"I'm not telling you."
"Why? What is the harm in telling me."
"Are you chasing unsired hybrid?"

"Is that why you called to check up on me to see if I had already caught and kill Tyler. Is this another one of your tests? Katerina." He said gripping his cellphone in angry tone.

"It's not a test Klaus. I said those things because it was what you needed to hear." She sighed laying her head back. "He is your example of hope Klaus. He's just like you. Only he had his mother who loved him. A father who was hard on him. A person who did what he wanted, not caring for the consequences. Until he became a wolf. Before that he was arrogant and selfish." She waved her wrist around.

"Hey be careful what you say love." he snapped out slowly in one breathe.
"Let me talk and say what I want to say."
"But you're starting to cross.."
"You want honesty. You're going to get it." She crossed her legs. "Or would you rather I hang up."
"Fine. Finish what you were about to say."
" But when it came to his family and friends being threatened, he cared. He tried to stand up to those who hurt them. Even to you Klaus."

"Are you giving me a reason to hurt him or kill him."
"Klaus."
"It seems to me you know quite a bit more about him then you let on.' he pointed out in warning of anger “when you handed them over to my witch.' he walked faster. “ Which is giving me more of a reason to find him faster and kill him." He snarled.

“Don't you dare tell me you didn't do a bit of research of your own considering he was your hybrid.”
She almost bit out in anger if it hadn't been the passengers around her.
"Rebekah told me he even tried to overcome being a jerk when you turned him. He has the Scooby doo gang as his friends because he helped them." she quieted her voice after noticing the looks she was starting to get around her.

"Klaus he's just like you." She took a sip of her drink to calm down. "You two even could have been friends at one point if you hadn't killed his mother or better yet had him bite his girlfriend. Or even become friendly rivals."
"Are you still bitter about that. Katerina I told you."
"It doesn't matter that's what started this all, right." She stared out the window. "You told him to bite her, he must of refused,' she twirled her finger “ but in the end because he was sired to you he wound up biting her anyhow. So you healed her." She shook her glass in irritation.
Klaus shook his head in annoyance.
"Besides that's not my point. I got off track.' she set her glass down pointed her finger up laying on the arm rest. She looked out the window. “ My point is Klaus. He is like you and somewhere down the road you're going to need him to remind you that if he can hold on to his humanity, so can you."

“Sweetheart did you forget were not human. Must I need to remind you of that.” he lowered his head sighing at such a ridiculous notion.

“Being human doesn't mean you need to be one Klaus. It means to feel, to care,' she said quietly “to love.” she cleared her throat took a sip from her champagne glass. “Like I said you show yours at times, even when you don't seem to notice.”

He closed his eyes hearing her voice. For a moment he stopped walking. Then opened his eyes and kept walking.

She sat up straighter in her seat annoyed having to sit so still. “And don't tell me that you don't. Other wise I'll have to give you more examples.” she twisted her hair in a sigh.

He laughed to hear the slight annoyance in her voice. “You have more examples of my humanity you say.” he smiled a little lifting his head raising his eyebrows thinking she must be drinking.

“Are you calling me a liar.” she stopped bouncing her foot and twitching.
He held his hands out in defense. “No. Of course not, love.” Then he stopped to look up. “Now why don't you tell me where you're going.”
“Are you going to kill unsired hybrid, Tyler.”
“Possibly yes.”
“Then I'm not telling you.”
He lowered his head back down facing forward. “Is that because I said yes.”
“You didn't hear anything I said did you.”
“ Then give me a hint.”
“You are so frustrating at times Niklaus.”
“Give me a hint where you are.” he was starting to get mad.
“No.” she mouthed out in clear voice.
“ Sweetheart' he mouthed it bitterly “if you don't tell me or give me some kind of hint as to where you are escaping to' he turned his head then said “ I'll have to take drastic measures such as killing Tyler for instance although I was already planning to do that. Since it seems you kinda like him or have some type of fantasy crush you haven't told me about yet.”
“ Just because I refuse to tell you where I'm going. You're going to kill the unsired hybrid.” she tilted her head in a frown. Then sighed shaking her head with her lips pursed. “What makes you think I have fantasies of him?” Is he serious. She sighed in annoyance at how crazy he was making her feel and she still had to deal with his mother. I'm starting to see what Rebekah meant when he said he has their mother's temper.

“You are trying to protect him from me.”

Katherine breathed starting to feel even angrier she started texting to Sophie.

Katherine txt

Do you mind picking somebody up on your way back home.

“ And you're not making it exactly easy for me to determine if where you are headed is going to create some type of difficulty for me to handle when you get back.” he told her.

Sophia txt

Have you changed your mind?

Can you talk?

Katherine txt

Not exactly yet. Klaus is on the other line.

She hit send to Sophie.

“ Are you implying something Niklaus.”
“ Do not say my name in that tone.”
“ Well that's too bad you're kinda pissing me off, honey.” her lips began to purse in anger. Sitting up straighter in her seat.

Klaus licked his lips realizing this wasn't getting him anywhere. “What if we compromise.” He waited but heard no response so he started instead.
“ You tell me where you are going and I might consider not killing him.” he said in his soft tone voice. Knowing she liked hearing it.

Katherine breathed starting to feel even angrier she started texting to Sophie. She knew he was using that voice to try to manipulate her into saying yes.

Katherine txt

You might be happy to know it'll piss off Klaus if you do.
Since it seems you don't like him very much.

Sophia txt

Not exactly dislike him just don't agree with how he treats you, sweetie.
Then by all means yes I would love to pick up whoever you want me too.

Katherine txt

Good because it's the unsired hybrid.

Sophia txt

What. Are you kidding me. Isn't that the hybrid he's tailing to kill.

Katherine do you hate me.

Katherine read Sophie text and scoffed.

No I don't hate you. I'm asking because it's important.

Sophie glances at her boyfriend Fitz then text.

Hold on let me ask Fitz it is his truck and his life.

She shows him the text and he nods his head yes. “Sure why not? The more the merrier right. And besides I wouldn't mind meeting another hybrid.” he says laying his arm out the side of his window driving. Then he asks Henry if it's alright with him for there to be another tag-a-long. Henry says “Sure. Why not? This rides been weird enough as it is.' glances at back truck at Philips's body and coffin. Then he goes back to reading his comic book. “Why not have one more.” he shrugs his shoulders.

Sophia txt

Will pick him up. So I'll call Hayley to find out where he could be.

Katherine reads the text and smiles. Then she tells Sophia to call her this second and she'll put Klaus on hold so she can tell her something real quick.

Katherine txt

Call me now. Some thing gotta to tell you just real quick.

“ Klaus I think I'm starting to lose you. The signal getting a bit weak here.” she lifted her phone from her ear.
“What. Katerina. Do not hang up on me.” he growls.

Katherine clicks to other end to pick up Sophie call.

“When you call wolf girl to find out where that unsired hybrid is tell her to get rid of her phone after she tells you and keep her second one with her. Tell her to drink that damn vervain bottle I gave her.” she bites into one of her strawberries in half.
“Why?”
“ Call it a hunch, knowing Klaus. He knows that she's been hanging out with Tyler just like she was suppose too. Of course I'll have to have a little chat with her, later.”
“Wait, what did she do?”
“Don't worry about it. Will talk as soon as I get rid of Klaus on the other line.”
“Fine. Do your thing and then we'll talk.” she laughs smiling and looks at Fitz with a smile on his face. “Your right she is a sneaky bitch. No wonder you like her.”
He laughed when he saw Sophie frown at that. Then she calls Hayley with unknown cellphone that Katherine gave her.

Katherine smile tenses. She picks up the other line with Klaus back to talk to her not pleased for her pretending to ignore him.

“Sorry Klaus, you know signals and all.” she sighs.
“ That better been what it was.” he crosses his arms. “So then do we have a deal. You give me a hint where your at and heading to' he flicked his hand “and I'll reconsider not killing Tyler.” he smiled.

“Hmm let me think about that for a second.' she tapped her finger on her chin. “How about no.” she finished saying taking another sip of her drink.

“Alright consider him dead then.” he almost hangs up the phone but smiles
when he hears her say. “Wait.”
“Yes, love what is it?” he puts the phone to his ear grinning.
“ I change my mind.”
“ I thought you might.”
She smiled leaning forward with her elbows on her lap. “ Remember Klaus you always keep your promises or so you say.” he lifted his eyebrows waiting for her to say she would agree.
“And.” he said getting impatient.
“ Sooo...”
“Yes.” he dragged out the word.
“ How about...”
“Go on.” he was getting extremely irritated and impatient.
“You try to find him first.”
“ What did you do? Katerina.”
“ Nothing just, you wouldn't listen as usual so I took matters into my own hands.”
“ Katerina what game are you playing now?” he looked around him for a second.
“Hide and seek.” she said with a curious tone almost very innocent.
“ So you would rather play a game then make a deal with me sweetheart.”
She laughed. “Oh come on Klaus if I were playing a game, where are the rules.”
“ You don't play by any.”
“ And neither do you. Of course unless they're your own." She switches her legs and crosses the other over and scoots in her seat leaning aside her arm rest and says business like firm tone to her voice.
“ So how about it. Unless you'd like to make that deal again, but remember you have to actually reconsider to not harm or kill Tyler. Or who knows if I'll actually keep my promise.”
“Fine then. So tell me the hint sweetheart.”
“ Remember your promise.”
"Yes I know." He groaned.
"And." She said smiling using his own word against him.
He turned his head away, licking his lips. "I promise to reconsider not killing Tyler Lockwood when you hint to me as to where you are at and are headed. There, are you happy now sweetheart."
"Not yet."
“ I'm waiting, love for you to tell me. And I mean now."
“ Three words Klaus. Train. Your mother.” she held her fingers out.
“ Excuse me.”
“ You heard me. I'm going to see your mother.” then she sat back in her seat. “Remember to keep your end of the bargain.” she said hanging up the phone and glanced up with a smile on her face.

“What.” he stared at his cellphone not believing what he just heard twice. "She doesn't mean what she actually just said does she?" Frustrated that she maybe doing something dangerous Klaus yelled out. "What is she bloody well, damn up to. Katerina."

Katherine txt him

Or who knows if I'll keep mine.

Katherine calls Sophie she answers her phone.

"So how did it go with the hybrid."
"I got a laugh out of it, which made me feel better."
Sophie laughed to. "I'm sure you did."
"So what was it you needed to talk about?"

Sophie stopped laughing. "Oh that. I did a bit of research since I had the grimiore with me and I was checking up on blood spells. Katherine' she took a breath "you're not going to like what I have to tell you."

"Hold on. I think Klaus is texting me."
"Fine I'll hold." Katherine looks at her cellphone.
"Well no he can wait."
"Trust me text him because the news I have for you, might not want to talk to him after wards."

Katherine frowns at her words. She looks at the text.

Klaus txt

What are you up to sweetheart?

Katerina txt

Nothing.

The usual. Drinking, chatting, scheming

Klaus txt

I know that. Where is the cure?

Katerina txt

Safe.
Don't worry.

Klaus txt

What did you do with Tyler sweetheart?
Where did you put him or take him to?

Katerina txt

I'm not telling.

Klaus txt

Do not forget you owe me 250 years of your life.

Katerina txt

Technically I owe you now 249 years.

Klaus txt

If I am to understand this correctly. You are counting your visits from me to Kol, from Chicago, back to me.

Katerina txt

Yes. And what about it?

Klaus txt

They don't count.
Seeing as I only gave you permission to leave only three times.

Katherine read it feeling annoyed.

She replied back in frustration

Katerina txt

Technically it was 4 times.

"One of them did not count since you decided to waste your one day of freedom I gave you to try to play that chasing game with me when I was not in the mood." He lifted his hand in a shrug.

"You wouldn't let me see what you were drawing. And you had your hybrids chase me, well no, actually I ran into you so that doesn't count as chasing me.”

"That's because I was not ready to show you. You don't rush an artist sweetheart." He stop walking to ask her. "Now what promise were you referring to, love?" He said in a softer lilt tone, closer to anger.

Katherine knew she had to tread lightly. When he spoke to her in that tone. Or the next person he would likely meet vampire or human would have a snap neck.

" To where I said I'd meet you." She thought Damn it he knows. My voice sounded to weak.
"Is that right. So you feel like lying to me now do you."
"No. Klaus. Don't hurt anybody." She said it slowly.
"Why not? You seem to think lying to me is alright with me and I feel I may need to express how I feel about that. I have every right to do so. Don't you agree, love."

"I'll come back from my flight earlier if you don't express those feelings by harming anyone." She said quickly enough.
"Fair enough. I agree."

Katherine breathed sigh of relief. Thought was Sophie might be a great caster but Klaus is something else when he's really angry. Tyler lucky he's just mad. If he was extremely angered. Oh I don't even want to think about it. I'm still on the phone. Breathe.

Katherine could feel the tingles and her body beginning to slightly quiver from thinking of Klaus's different moods of anger.

"Sweetheart are you still there. I can hear you breathing."
She swallowed. "Yes. I haven't left anywhere." She felt better hearing her own voice under control.

"Good when are you planning to come back?"
"Soon as I can."
"That's a good answer that I like to hear. So I am guessing you're not going to speak to me if I continue on for this hunt for Tyler am I right."

"You know I don't agree. Because, no, wait I'll tell you when I get back."
"Why later?"
"You know why."
"Ah that's right. In case you want to stop me. And if I don't listen or stop."

"Don't make choices you ask' she pointed her finger up " that you don't want to make if you already know the answers to the results you're asking for." She creased her eyebrows in a frown. "Because you're not going to like what happens next. Remember I'm the one that has the cure.”

"Fine. Hurry back home. Correction hurry back to me. Before I do something rash for making me concerned about you having a conversation with my mother Katerina. I don't know why you must speak with her but you best be on your guard and better be careful. That woman can't be trusted."

"I know. And will talk when I get back early."

“Just one more question before you hang up.” he scratched his cheek.
“What?”
“What is it about him that I don't have.” he said confused.

“He understands what freedom is and why it shouldn't be taken after having been a wolf before you turned him into a hybrid and then his freedom was taken again. You took that from him and you have no idea how grateful he probably was when he became a hybrid.” She thought quietly But you never see those things because you expect others to be grateful to you. “He knows what true loyalty means Klaus. There are other things you could learn from him, but you would have to discover those things on your own from him.” she sighed. “Is that all?”

Klaus glanced down paced for a second when he heard her talking.
“Yes. Hurry back.” He frowned about to put his cellphone away when he remembers he subconsciously forgot to hang up on her and told her quickly before he was going to hang up.
“ I will.”
“ Katerina.” he thought he needed to remind her.
“ I know. She can't touch me.” Then she hung up her phone.

Katerina txt

Remember this feeling right now Klaus.
This is exactly what you did to Caroline and Tyler.

Klaus frowned at the message replies back and staring in front of him and then put his cellphone away says quietly “I've had it 100 times worse then them.” and continued to walk.

End Call.

Klaus txt Katherine reads

I at least gave him a head start.

Katherine took a sip. Licking her lips, closed her eyes, then tried to focus. She lifted her cellphone to her ear to listen to Sophie on the other line.

“ So what was it you were going to say.” Katherine shakes her head from her thoughts and takes another sip.
“ First do you want me to tell you what Hayley said or.”
“No. Don't tell me where Tyler is. Just make sure that you got to her first before Klaus did. Because he won't be happy when he finds out.”
“ She gave me an idea where he might be. So Fitz and I decided to split up to go look for him.”she picks up her drink on the table.
“ So then are you heading home or.”
“ He said if he finds him first he'll take him somewhere wherever wolves roam.”
“ And if you find him first?”
“ Then I'll take him home with me since I have to see the elder first and my family.”
“ You must be looking forward to that.”
“ Yeah. I'm thrilled to see the other Castors when they find out after wards what I just did.” she lifted her hand pumping her fist weakly. “But if it's me I'll take a flight home so I can get there faster and I don't have to put down your hybrid.”
Katherine laughed. “That sounds entertaining.”
“For you.” she shook her head moving her hair from the back of her neck.
“ Well like I told you before your lucky Klaus just mad.”
“ He can't be that scary.”
“ You have no idea how wrong you are.” she mouthed expressively.
“Okay then.” she looks at Fitz who shrugs his shoulders. Don't-look-at-me.

Sophie sits up crunched on her stool at a caf'e outside of town they were at.

“ I was looking up on blood spells. I mentioned to you, you mentioned to me.”
“Yeah and.”
“ You never did tell me why you were certain that the hunter's mark would show if we switched the two.” she said a bit confused. “You think you could elaborate for me on that so I know what you got me into.” she looks at her book.

“ Sure why not?” she sat up in her seat and holding her glass of champagne. “Remember when I told you Gabriel had a cousin.”
“ You went to visit him after you and Isobel came to see me. What about it?” Sophie stole one of Fitz fries.
"You've been there before it was Frances home me and Isobel took you to when you left your home town to come with us."
"That was his home. I thought it was Isobel's."
"It's one of his homes." Katherine picked up her drink to take a sip.

“ I went to Los Angeles to meet with him when he flew in for one of his flight meetings. One night we were drinking after his meeting and told me he was fed up with him and told me Gabriel's secret that he had just found out after his cousin had kept it from him for centuries. You know the one I told you about Esther's.” she leaned a bit forward.
“ Yeah. You said Klaus sister Rebekah told you. That's how you got that silver necklace I try to uncharm." She sighed exasperated.
“That's right. Well, Gabriel did something similar except he had a caster who was in love with him at Frances home. He told me the story that after Klaus had turned him and then he turned Gabriel that he was paranoid and had her cast every person he selfishly turned tied to him. So in case anyone he turned wanted revenge against him.” she took a pause before saying “ Killing him meant killing themselves.”
“ And anyone they turned as well.” she realized thinking that was cruel.
“ I knew you'd figure it out.”

Sophie shuddered thinking what more a jerk the guy was then what Katherine had told her. “He's more of a jerk then I thought. But its too bad for everyone else.”
“ I wouldn't be so sorry, more then half that he turned was just as bad as him.”
“ That's why you don't consider Kol or Klaus worse then him.”
“ At least the Originals had compassion, he had none.”
“ So how's Kol doing?”
“ I haven't waken him yet. I'm still waiting for you to get that cure. I need it before I can start the ritual.”
“ Right. I almost forgot.” she felt annoyed.

Sophie looked at Fitz and he was reminding her what she needed to tell Katherine. So she took a breathe than a gulp of her drink and started to speak. Cursing the fact she should of gone on that flight with her in New York. But she couldn't wait to tell her not after her messaging that she was going to see Esther, instead of Esther this time coming to her.

“ Katherine do you know about doppelgangers.”
“Well duh I am one.”
“ That's not what I meant.”
“ I think Esther did something.” she turned her head a bit away from mouth piece.

Katherine waited getting a bit impatient but waited since it was Sophie and she knew if she was hesitating that she was probably going to get mad at whatever she was about to tell her so she prepared herself that she would get mad.

“ I think Esther did something forbidden.”
“ So what does that mean? What are you trying to tell me Sophie.”

“ The reason her family was cursed was because she did something she wasn't suppose to. That no caster or witch is to do. Which is to steal another witch's blood. I believe Esther created a doppelganger. Not that you are one. She needed death to have a doppelganger. And she found one to use for her blood ritual to seal Klaus's werewolf bloodline. But she couldn't just seal it off, there had to be a balance. An opportunity for Klaus to able to break the curse. Katherine I'm sorry. ” Sophie took in a breathe closing her eyes. Hoping she didn't have to tell her but knew she had to tell her because of the cure.

Katherine wanted to drop her cellphone. Her face froze trying to focus on Sophie's words as memories flooded into her mind. Klaus calling her that name when they woke up that morning and he told her she didn't understand. When Elijah told her about the person who was like her, how she also had a child out of wedlock. Klaus drawing and saying Elijah would know. Klaus accusing her of being similar like to her subject that she brought up and how she couldn't choose between him and Elijah or Stefan and Damon who were also brothers and who they reminded her of. And she remembered Esther had appeared before her with a vehemence she tried to mask from her. How Elijah told her it could “only you could”, how Rebekah seemed familiar to her. Kol took a liking to her. How meeting them, it all seemed familiar to her.
Katherine wanted to scream. So she did inside feeling a rage she had never felt before. Feel her blood boil and then she went quiet. Feeling as if her veins had turned to ice.

“Katherine. Can you hear me?”
“ Yes.” she said staring at absolutely nothing but hearing waves crashing inside her body.
“ There's one more thing. There can't be two doppelgangers. Otherwise one of them would die when they meet.” she said looking at papers about blood rituals, doppelganger, fairy tales, and such strewn across the table. Fitz looked at her with concern mouthing with his lips with no sound. “How did she take the news.” holding a fry with his finger.

Sophie mouthed back. “I don't know. I knew I should of gone with her.”

“ You're sure, Sophie.” she asked gripping her phone blinked her eyes. “Sophie, are you sure.” she said loudly.
Sophie nodded her head. “Yeah. I'm sure.” She flipped through her book.
“There's also something else. I think Klaus might have done something to interfere with his mother's ritual, he probably made some deal with some witch or caster or something.”

“Why is that?” she focused feeling confused.
“ Because the curse shouldn't have broke from Klaus drinking Elena, the doppelganger's blood when she had vampire blood in her system.”

“ So you're saying something else has to be balanced out.”

“Yeah.' she looked down thinking for a few seconds. “Otherwise. I don't know something is off.” she shook her head sucking her lips trying to think. “ She needed a witch's or caster's blood to turn her family to vampires. But she needed something of death to create to seal off his werwolf bloodline, also she needed the heart of a vampire, and a heart of wolf, since it was on a full moon she needed a moonstone to cast the curse upon to hold the seal, but it had to be the same bloodline that she used when she turned her family to vampires. And then he had to drink the same bloodline from the doppelganger to break the curse. But for him to use the same bloodline mixed with his own hybrid blood to create hybrids means something was added to the blood ritual.”

Sophie was slightly confused. “He should have been able to use just his own blood to create hybrids.”

“ I know what it is.” she said feeling something break inside. “That vampire, she is no witch. She's more vampire then her children.”

“ Wait did you figure it out? Katherine. What is it? What was added to the ritual.”
“ Tatia's blood.”
“ That was already added.”
“ No Tatia's blood was cursed.”
“ Oh. Oh no. Katherine. Wait.” she stood up almost yelling down into her cellphone. “Don't hang up.” But the cure has something to do with the ritual. To redeem his family for being cursed. Can't take it all at once it'll kill you. She sighed too many want the cure to use for their own purpose.
“ I gotta go, I think I'll get off here and catch an earlier flight.” she said not listening to her and hung up quickly before she even heard her say the last words.

Sophie turned to Fitz eating his hamburger. “Klaus is up to something. He wants the cure. In fact he needs it.”
“ What's he need it for?” he asked setting his hamburger down.
“ A stepping stone to redeem his family, but I don't think that's why he wants it.”
Sophie looked at Henry listening but drinking his shake while listening to his ipod.

Katherine waited taking a cab to the airport waiting for her flight to New York.

She shook her head wanting to scream bloody murder. How could he have done this to me? How could he curse me

After few hours she was tired from the train ride and had taken a flight instead thinking she needed to get to New York much quicker.

She got off train. Not caring. Took a cab to take her to airport.

She looked behind her thinking of Klaus. She couldn't decide if the love they had is a beautiful nightmare or a sweet dream.

On flight to New York

Katherine looked at the clouds wishing everything would just go away.

She sipped her champagne glass not really enjoying it. She rather have wine but unlike Paris flights didn't have it. Just like champagne she hated things that were cliche.

Things like diamonds, champagne, too sunny days, flattery from men who thought she was easy prey. Unless it was a game, she thought that was too easy.

Of course when she was human she was almost like any other naive girl. But Katherine had always had a fascination to fairytales. Not just stories of princess and Prince but mysterious ones of vampires and wolves. Not just have to wear dresses. Having to behave as a lady and do chores. Of course that was before her naivete led her to charming man that entice her to make a fool of herself. After that she learned that those that love to easy were fools Of course that was before I met Rebekah. She swore she never let a man make a fool of herself after her child was taken away to her cousins who wanted to have a child of their own. She asked only one thing of them to name her "Katherina" as a way she would always be a part of her daughter. They agreed gratefully. Night she was born her father took her away quickly before she was even able to lay her eyes on on her. Her mother how she missed her held her as she cried herself to sleep that very night.

Afterwards her discretion that was suppose secret had been known. Her father threw her out to live with her aunt that he thought oddly independent for a woman. So Katerina had headed to England. Her aunt change her ways of thinking about what it meant to be a real lady.
Then she had transformed going to few parties that had invited her noticing her beauty. Trevor had noticed her ask her aunt to take her to his Lord he like to introduce her too. Her aunt had agreed.
Later in weeks she had traveled to party held at Lord Mikaelson's home.
Met Lord Elijah and Lord Niklaus. It was Lord Niklaus birthday.

She stopped thinking not wanting to get lost in the memory.

She focused instead putting all the pieces she had been missing. All the pieces of her memory that had been returned to her and what she had known about blood ritual. What Klaus had told her after he broke the curse to when the veil had opened. To Finn unexpected death and ritual that Rebekah had told her that Esther, that bitch. Tried perform tied their whole family bloodline to die together. Her own role in this. Of course Elena blood that was and is now vampiric. I really am going rip her throat out, how dare she lie to Niklaus and touch a Petrova again. Thinking back to Elijah said of their father in the past. What Mikael did to her thinking it was Elena and had drained her of all her blood. Lucky for me that human he didn't want was still there. Klaus silent comment of her had being human at the time. To Klaus explanation of Trevor not having heard beginning of his and Elijah discussion of her humanity.
