Festive Mood

--------------Translation Realization is a Bitch

Katherine driving when it occurred to her. She hits her steering wheel and then curses to herself. " I can't believe I fell for one of his traps."

Katherine stops the car and calls Klaus.

" Katerina you called, love."
" Klaus you're an ass."
" What are you accusing me of now?"

" You left the bracelet at home knowing I'd find it eventually. You just couldn't figure out "how to piss me off" to do what you wanted me to do." Her voice raised feeling angrier as she got played. " That is until opportunity came knocking to the door. Kol." She raised her finger then folding her arm in underneath her elbow holding her cellphone as she spoke. " I bet you expected me to leave my cellphone at the bar or at least throw it away somewhere so when I did realize you played me that I couldn't call you." He sighed hearing her berate him on the other line.

"You got part of it right,love."

He walked down the street. " Now can you hang up the phone. So we can discuss this some other time. I have somebody that I need to talk too

" Well too bad for you. You had a lot of nerve to trick me."
" Sweetheart you were going to leave anyhow. I just don't see what the problem is." He shrugs his shoulders hoping she'd give up and do as he asked.
" Why couldn't you just tell me to leave. Instead of making up some plan for me to do what you expected of me." She sighed exasperated.
" And you think that I would expect that you would leave and do as I asked that being with Kol in town causing trouble. Then you have the wrong impression of me or that of your own self, love."
" I do not." She scoffed feeling offended.
" Well then sweetheart. Tell me by all means what part I got wrong."

Katherine moved her head silently annoyed and couldn't believe him.
" Let's see shall we. I wasn't wrong that if I did take your bracelet off that you expected I was up to something instead of calling me first to explain. Again instead of talking to me about Jeremy being a Hunter. You ran your mouth off to Kol about the vampires and my new Hunter. So I would say my assessment was about right why I expected you should leave town before screwing up even more of my plans that even Kol could even cause with a massacre. For now that is you need to stay out of this before you get yourself killed by doing something as stupid as getting in Rebekah's way or trying to help me not get Kol killed."

" You want to talk about blame mister. I still forgot I should have hit you when I was still with you while being in Mystic Falls."

"What for? What exactly did I do that would incur a wrath of such behavior from you except for being right Katerina."

"Rebekah. Remember that Klaus. I said not to ignore her and you did, I told you to apologize not that you did, and I even told you she would get even with you. Didn't I. And oh look she is. So you think you have some one to blame. Then blame yourself for not listening. You can blame yourself for Kol too. Seeing as I bet you threatened to dagger him leaving him in a box again." Katherine sighed." Then again I'm also partly at fault for him going nuts." She smiled unhappily.

" Fine Katerina. You were right about Rebekah. But the rest is debatable. And I will try to make certain Kol won't be killed."

" By the way honey.' said sarcastically " Your precious daggers seem to be missing. Bet you didn't know that. Oh and if you're looking for Stefan don't wake up Rebekah. I'm sure they're feeling tired after a strenuous day that they been having."

" What are you talking about? The daggers should be at home."
" Well they're not."

End Call.

Katherine text Kol as he's walking down the street.

Kol. Go home for now.

Kol txt

We already had this conversation. I'm going to talk to your doppelganger about a truce that she suggested.

Katherine txt

She would never agree to a truce. You're trying to kill her baby brother. They're up to something.

Kol txt

Well I'm just going to cut off his Hunter arm. After all I don't want to suffer the Hunter's curse now would I. I guess we'll see then. Don't worry darling, I'll be cautious.

Katherine text someone. Not believing in this truce her doppelganger said she wanted not with her brother's life put on the line.

I need your help. I'm calling in that favor.

Kol txt to Katherine

Well looks like I don't have to go home. Since my brother is trying to kill me. After I kill his Hunter and former blood bag. I'm going after him next since I have the white oak stake with me.

" What." Katherine read the message. She squinted her eyes.

Katerina txt

Klaus what is Kol talking about? You're trying to kill him. Looks like that sounds more like the Mystic Falls Scooby doo gang then you. What is going on?

Klaus read the text while walking fast.

" I'm already on my way there, sweetheart.' He said gritting his teeth. " I just heard about it myself from Kol."
" Where is he? "
" At the Gilbert's house. Fighting Elena and Jeremy."
" Klaus if he's I'm.."
" Don't say anything more."
Katherine stares at her phone and can't believe he didn't let her finish what she was going to say.

Klaus hung up the phone. Sped away.

Katherine calls up a friend of her's again.
Caller ID ~ Sophia

Katherine txt

Klaus what happened?

" I'm stuck inside the Gilbert's home. That bloody witch locked me up in here. I should have killed her after having her reverse my family's spell."
" And Kol?"
Klaus closed his eyes silently not able to speak.
"Klaus. What about Kol?"
" He's dead." He said quietly.
Katherine breathed then silently cried. " No. No.' She said hopefully but quietly. " You mean you dagger him right. He's not gone. You dagger him." She gritted her teeth at the end of the sentence.
" No sweetheart." He raged saying next. " They murdered him with the white oak stake." Then softly he said " I watched as the last bit of his life burned away, sweetheart. I'm going to murder them when I get out."
" Does Rebekah know?" Katherine silently raged, gripping the steering wheel.
" I don't know. We haven't spoken since the last I saw her when I asked her for the damn bloody dagger." He bit down on his teeth. Feeling himself begin to calm down as he spoke to her a little. Not so much.
" I should have contacted Rebekah. I should have stopped Kol. You and your damn hybrids plan." Katherine ran her fingers through her hair.
" I stopped caring about the damn idea of making hybrids out of Elena once I figured they could use it against me. Especially after killing my baby brother."

" I'm calling Rebekah. I can't..we can't lose. I can't handle the fact if we lose one more person Klaus. I already lost Isobel. I can't lose another." Katherine grip the steering wheel.
" I understand love. Go ahead and call her. I'll try to figure out a way out of this trap. One more thing, sweetheart. Don't cry anymore because I can't hold you right now." Klaus hung up phone before she could speak.

" Rebekah. Kol's dead."
“ I know.”
“ Who told you?” Katherine puzzled.
" Stefan told me."
" Why didn't you give Klaus the dagger? "
" I didn't think they would of killed Kol. I had no idea what they were up to. But I did give Stefan the dagger. So that they dagger him."
" Rebekah you should leave while you have the chance."
" I'm going to get the cure. Katerina I want to be human."
" What. Why? "
" Remember when you told me when you were human you told my brother Nik you didn't want to be a vampire. You said you didn't want to become what we were. Monsters."
" That was a long time ago Rebekah. I don't dwell on that anymore."
" Well you were right. My mother tried to have us all killed because we turned into them. I want to have a new life and if that means becoming human so be it." Rebekah looked at the corsage in her hand.

" Fine then. Be careful you don't get stabbed in the back, again. Thanks to my little doppelganger. Watch your own back. Don't trust the Mystic Falls Scooby doo gang. They're only looking out for themselves and their own. To them, they probably think you're just as bad as Klaus. And it only takes one of them to partner up with one of their own and go behind the back of the rest to make a plan seem fit while convincing another one of their buddies to join in and agree to make a plan work."

" That won't happen to me." Rebekah replied.
" Just watch your back. I'm gonna go see what I can do about getting Klaus out of their little trap. That is if I can help to do something about it."
" Katerina."
"Don't. I think I get it. After all I changed my given name for a new life. So you don't have to explain it to me."
" You do understand."
"I do. Thanks to Kol. If it hadn't been for him."
" I'm sorry."
" Me too. But Kol was always persistent. You know Kol was only trying to protect us.
" Yes. I know.”
“Gotta go."
"Goodbye Katerina."
" Goodbye Rebekah."

The both lowered their phones from their ears and ended the call.

Katerina txt

Klaus. Rebekah wants to be human.

He reads it not happy about his two girls conversation they must of had.

Katerina txt

I'm going to see if there is a witch that can get you out.

Klaus txt

Be careful love. But I don't think I can get out. It's not a spell I've been in before.

Katerina txt

I will. Well I have been in their trap before, the same one actually. So when we get you out of there. Will get the cure first and then I'm going to rip
off the head of their precious Elena.

" Sweetheart calm down. You're angry and you don't think rationally when you are. You will only get yourself killed."
" Oh I'm not angry at all Klaus. I'm enraged."
" Calm down."
" But they.." She gritted her teeth.
" Listen to me." Says fervently. " You need to calm yourself. I already lost Kol. I don't need to lose you too. Katerina."
" Rebekah's the one who's in danger, not me."
" If they haven't dagger her yet then possibly she isn't in any danger."
"I just want to kill that two bit face Elena Gilbert. I just know this has to be her fault. Kol is.." Katherine drove still angry.

" I know you do. So do I. But were at a disadvantage right now. Can't be making mistakes that will end badly for us. Also Rebekah wants the cure for herself. I do believe they're not going to harm her since she wants to be human." He said rationale.

" She also willingly gave Stefan the dagger."
" So Stefan had the dagger. Well that would of been comforting to know if he had given it to me." He gripped the phone not pleased at what he was hearing.

"I don't know when he had it. But it had to be at some point when he was with Rebekah. They were probably trying to plan how to get it from her. Or try to kill two birds with one stone. I should say. Maybe we should tell her that she was only lucky enough she wasn't dagger herself if it hadn't been for her giving Stefan the dagger. They probably would have."

Klaus txt

And if they turn me back.

Katerina txt

Aren't you forgetting. Baby your a hybrid. Which means you still got some bite in you. And if need to just turn Elena back and bite her again.

Klaus text back as he smiles.

And here I thought you might of forgotten.

Katerina txt

I told you I never forgot.

Katherine receives a text from Sophia.

Sophia txt

It worked. I transferred him into my brother like you asked.

Katherine smiles at the text she got from her caster witch friend.

Sophia txt

Get his body.

Katherine smiled. " I think it's high time we get are selves a witch to fight a witch. What do you say? You always had a thing for keeping witches to do some of your work. Don't you think it's time to bring one in again. She said to get Kol's body."

Klaus realized what she was suggesting to him but to be certain he said.

" Are you suggesting."

"I'm not suggesting anything. I'm saying I think it's about time to call up her number. Let's see if they can handle are bad ass witch. And her hunter wolf lover. I'd love to see that show down and see who can win. Because I doubt a Bennett can over win a Castor witch. With the line of an Avenger for a boyfriend. A Hunter with the blood of a vampire that failed to turn. But gain the strength of halfling. Born half human and half vampire."

" But that would mean he's half wolf and halfling."
“ He's as strong as an Original,fast as a vampire, and has some bite in him.”
“ That would make him be a..” Klaus realized his eyes lit up.

" Exactly." Feeling better about the news she received. She started driving back to Mystic Falls. “ I think it's about time for me to play my trump card. What do you think?" she grinned amusingly. "I think it's about time for me to have a little chat with my sire.' she openly sighed exaggerating the annoyance she felt about that. "Don't even try stopping me Klaus.” She warned.
“ Not like I can leave, love.” He grinned amused.

Katherine smiled. Nobody messes with my boys, except me. She smiled even wider thinking of Caroline as she drove.
