Festive Mood

Revenge can be sweet.

Katherine headed to Caroline's house. Good thing she was already dressed as Elena.

Katherine walks into her room unannounced and once Caroline turns around to look at her she asks " What are you doing here Elena?" Then she turns back around fiddling with some clothes on her bed. Realization hits her. She's stunned turns to look back at her with " Katherine." smiling at her. Caroline tries to run.

Katherine smiles at her. " Miss me?" She grins even wider when she sees Caroline frown.

" What are you doing here in town? Don't you know that nobody wants you here."

" Why should I care.' Katherine points her finger down. " And no. You're wrong about that. I'm sure there a couple people that have missed me even though they don't want to admit it." She gave her a lopsided grin and turned her eyes up.

" Klaus is still here you know. How do you think he would feel if he knew you were here somehow?" Caroline folds her arms defiantly.

" Oh I know. And he's kinda stuck in a invisible box right now. So there's nothing he could do to stop me." She shrug her shoulders grinning at her.

Caroline hearing the news falters and tries to run with her speed.

Katherine gets to the door much quicker. Closes it behind her.

" Don't try to run. I can outrun you. I'm much faster." Katherine back was turned from Caroline to look around her so she picked up her cellphone. Katherine smiled then turned around " I wouldn't do that if I were you, Caroline." Then she grabbed her cellphone and tossed it away.

" I'm kinda in a pissed off mood right now and I wouldn't wanna end up snapping your neck, then have to wait for you to wake up,' she says sitting on Caroline's bed looking at her nails " and then tell you what I came here to tell you." she finishes telling Caroline lifting her head to look directly at her. Caroline glances to the ground standing in front of her then back up at Katherine to wait for her to say what she came to tell her. "Fine then so tell me what you dropped by here to say to me. Because I know you didn't come here to check to see how I'm doing." Caroline crosses her arms.

Katherine turned to Caroline not pleased with her tone of voice. But ignored it thinking snapping her neck and thought otherwise she really didn't want to have to wait for the annoying blonde vampire to wake up. Decided telling her this would ease her frustration and seeing the look on Caroline's face would be worth it instead.

" You're going to make certain when they get that cure you're going to steal it and bring it to me or I'm going to do something much worse to you then death." She growled at Caroline while standing her hands placed on her back. Tilting her head and smiling thinly at her.

" Why do you care about the cure?"

" Because there's a chance if they give Klaus the cure. We're all dead.' she Tilted her head up slightly out of boredom. " I sired Damon and Stefan. Klaus sired Tyler. Damon sired Elena and.." she says ticking off the names.

" Damon turned me." Caroline says looking at her. Katherine looked at her.

" No. No. Caroline. Damon may have given you his blood to heal you at the hospital." she stepped up to Caroline face. " But I'm the one that gave you enough to sire you. And I know how to turn on that sire bond. Why do you think I sent you that message to Damon. Did you really think if Damon had been the one to turn you that you would have been able to throw him around like you did, the way he used you when you were human. So if you don't want me to end up ordering you to I don't know kill your boy toy Tyler or for instance your mom. You're going to do exactly as I say." She gets up fast squeezing her throat. " And if you ever threaten me again. Well you don't wanna know what I'll do next to you, do you." She lets Caroline go.

Caroline massaged her throat saying" And if the cure doesn't kill us all." Katherine turned around not pleased at being questioned. She tensely smiles gazing at her.

" There's still somebody I don't want turn back into a mutt. Which is exactly what will happen to your boy toy Tyler if they succeed." she rolled her eyes at Caroline.

Then Katherine grinned. Turns around back to Caroline. "Better yet." she picks Caroline off the ground and lifts her against the wall like the first time she had seen her turn into a vampire. Compels her. "You're going to sneakily steal the cure from Elena if they get their hands on it first. Kidnap her if you have to and keep her hostage. And if she doesn't have the cure tell which ever one of your Mystic Fall friends including Rebekah that has it if they don't give you the cure you're going to kill Elena or yourself. If you try to get help you're to kill yourself or Elena, which ever one of you tries to get help from anyone from committing the act of suicide and or assassination I ordered you to do. Another thing you're not allowed to take the cure unless I give you permission and if you do you're to kill yourself, indirectly if you have to." feeling satisfied she drops Caroline to the ground. Caroline's eyes dilate. Then she turns to look at Caroline. Still under compulsion. " Oh and Caroline if you cross me." She speeds at Caroline making her drink blood from her arm. "I'll turn the sire bond on." as Caroline struggling to not drink but fails too from the strength of pressure Katherine putting on her open mouth almost to the point of breaking her neck. "The funny thing about sire bonds is once your sired you'll try to do anything to please your creator. Or you try to get rid of the person who got the heart of the one you were trying to get before you turned. In your case that's Damon and Elena. Jealously for one sired is not a pretty picture." Then she compels Caroline to repeat after her under compulsion while the blood is still going down her throat. Caroline repeats after her.

After she finished forcing her to drink. She drops Caroline to the ground. Caroline gasps with blood around her mouth trying to breathe. Katherine smiles at her flicking her finger in the air. "One more thing. Send your friends a message after you get the cure." she bends down to Caroline " Well I don't have to tell you what it is since you already know it. I made you give Damon the same message, last time." Katherine ends the compulsion leaving Caroline to pick herself up. Caroline mutters the words. "Game On.". Then she walks away stops and turns to something amusing she thought of. " Two sired vampiresses fighting over Damon. Ha. Now that's funny. I didn't see that coming." Katherine looks at Caroline "Good thing you and Elena are friends. Otherwise it could get ugly." Then she turns back around feeling better laughing and walks off with a strut. Katherine thinks of Klaus and then begins to walk and then speeds off towards the Gilbert's house.

Katherine looked to see that body of Kol was gone. She walked inside the kitchen to make certain Klaus had not been wrong and that they moved it. It's a good thing she was already invited in. Otherwise she wouldn't have been able to do anything. Too bad for Jeremy thinking that it was just a dream he had on the day of the Pageant. Sometimes having someone look like you kinda pays off. It sure came in handy this time. So glad only The Originals can tell the difference between me and Elena. Or was it just Klaus that could. Well who cares.

Sophia txt

You weren't here. So me and Fitz grabbed the body.

She came back noticing from a text that Sophia had already picked up Kol's body. So Katherine walked back out. Text Klaus.

Katerina txt

Looks like Sophia got his body.

Klaus txt

Where are you? I know you're near.

Katerina txt Which she actually was. While laughing.

Lurking outside the window. Hiding from you outside the backdoor of Gilbert's home.

Sneaking inside to see if the body was still there.

Klaus txt

Sweetheart. Where are you really? I'm not in the mood for games right now.

Katerina txt Katherine sighed.

In Mystic Falls.

Klaus txt

Are you alone?

Katerina txt

Yes, why?

She thought it'd be funny to be standing outside the Gilbert's home calling him.

" I think you owe me an apology." She teased.

" Where are you hiding? I can smell you're near."

She sighed in frustration. " I already told you. I'm right outside."

" Behind the house." He said mad.

" Yes."

He nodded his head." Come around to the front of the house."

" I don't want to."

" Why not? Come here."

" No, you come here."

Klaus looked at his phone then was ready to yell.

" I forgot." she grimaced.

" Forgot what, hmm. That I'm stuck here."

Katherine winced hearing him yell.

" Yes I forgot for a second you're stuck."

" Then come around to the front so I can see you." he gritted his teeth.

"Not until you've calmed yourself."

" I. Am. Calm. Enough." He said trying to spit out each word calmly enough.

" No you're not.' she scoffed not believing he'd lie to her when she was so close by " I can hear it in your voice.' Katherine brushed strands of her hair back. " And if you weren't stuck inside that barrier. I would run like hell." She finished telling him already thinking of running.

Klaus closed his eyes. Breathed. Then opened them. He said in soft tone. "Sweetheart come here. I need to see you and talk to you."

" You're lucky your using your soft charming voice. Instead of your calm voice that says " I'm going to kill you if you don't do as I ask" or I wouldn't even consider walking to the front of the house." She said folding her arm underneath her elbow her head down already very slowly taking steps to around the house.

" Considering.' he started to pace. "You're considering it. I want you to come here before I.." he said gripping his phone trying not to crush it and lose contact.

" Before you what?" she stopped walking.

" Before I get mad and turn into a wolf. And when I do."

Katherine held her hand up. " Wait. You can still turn into a wolf."

" Why wouldn't I be able to turn. I said I was stuck not that I couldn't turn."

Katherine smiled hearing him say it twice. " Wait a minute. I just thought of something Klaus. I'm gonna go find my caster friend." She walks away towards her car planning to head back to Klaus's home. " I think it's about time to call your other brother. I think Elijah will want to start to come in play with us after hearing they tried to kill Kol, don't you think."

She smiles then gets in her car knowing Klaus heard her.

Klaus smiles wide from inside the barrier.

Klaus txt

Hurry back sweetheart, or you might miss out on my wolf side.

Katerina txt

When you turn back, won't you be naked.

Klaus txt

I believe your right.

Katherine set her cellphone down. Started the car thinking of her friend and her new idea.

I hope she was able to introduce herself to him. If not then later. I'll just go to his home. I hope Sophia doesn't have a problem with the location I sent her. Probably trying to figure out a way already to get Klaus out of that barrier. Or maybe she stopped by Isobel's grave first. Hmm I guess I'll know when I get to Klaus's house.

Katherine drove up to his home. Hoping Kol would be awake soon. She walks in looking at his body. Then she looks at Sophia comatose brother lying next to Kol's the younger Original body. She sees that his burns are gone. Thinks I gotta give her credit she is good. I can hardly tell his body been burned. Her healing magic has gotten better.

Then Katherine changes her shirt noticing that Caroline had gotten some on her. She turns her hair back to her waves, satisfied they don't look like Elena's.

Two hours pass and Katherine paces back in forth near the fireplace her hands folding in. Wondering still as she stares at Sophia's brother's body. Come on Kol. Why haven't you woken up yet?

" Kol." She touches the face. " Please come back. Please my angel come back to me. Open your eyes and look at me. We can surprise Klaus that you're back. I know you would love that, to see the look on his face when he's freed from that barrier and you standing in someone else's body. Wouldn't that be fun."

Katherine sighs. "All you have to do is open your eyes." She gets up to take a drink from her glass she poured herself earlier. Then leans over again to him "I have a surprise waiting for you Fitz and Sophia are here. Remember them in Chicago. They're here. She helped me save your life. And later were going to get revenge for what they almost did to you. So open your eyes and let me see that grin of yours that says you wanna cause them trouble." Katherine huffs gets up and paces then sits back down.

" Fine then. You don't have to open your eyes. Just smile. So I know you're just pretending to be asleep."

Sophia walks in with her Hunter Werewolf boyfriend.

Katherine turns to look at Sophia.

" Why hasn't he waken up, yet?"

" It takes time. Souls are tricky."

" It's been two hours Sophia." she grits her teeth.

" It might take a day. Or another hour. I don't have control of how long a person wakes being in someone else's body. But he's the one that has to want to awaken or not. Not my magic Katherine."

" Fine." she crosses her arms and shakes herself side to side calming down. " What about Klaus and the spell."

" I'm working on it."

" Did you visit Isobel? While you were at it."

" We did.' she says quietly then loudly. " Of course I did. She was my friend. I'm going to get them for what they..."

" Whoa." Fitz holds his hands up then places them on his girlfriend shoulder. "Hold on. Ladies calm yourselves. Don't you think you're getting ahead of yourselves too fast on such little timing."

" That's because we don't have time Fitz." Katherine says looking at him.

" Can I get a drink. Because if were going to talk strategy I'm gonna need one."

" Sure help yourself. Klaus won't mind since he wouldn't want to be an ungracious host even if he's not here yet. You and Sophia are trying to get him released from the spell." Katherine flicks her hand at the liquor and tells him where to get more if the one's on the table aren't the ones he wants.

Then Fitz notices something wrong and turns around behind him. "Hey Soph. Where is he? Wasn't he just behind us?"

" I don't know. Maybe he's checking out the house.' feeling annoyed. " Or in the front yard to worried to come in. Why don't you go get him honey." she rolls her eyes.

" Whatever." Fitz says then goes to front yelling " Come on. What are you doing out there? Come in here." Fitz waves his hand for him to come in. "No one's gonna bite. Remember you got more bite then they do."

" Who is he talking to out there?" Katherine asked her hand on her hip.

" You'll see. Fitz just met someone he considers a brother to him awhile ago and his family took him in."

A boy with dark brunette hair walks in shyly. Fitz has his arms on his shoulders smiling.

Sophia turns her hand to the boy. "Katherine meet Henry Wesley. Fitz's step brother."

" Hello I'm Katherine." She stares at him feeling puzzled.

Then she sees Sophia looking at her. "Are you sure that France's not going to be mad about his cousin being dead." She thanks her boyfriend and takes a glass from him.

Katherine folding in her arms moving side to side trying to think. "He was disgusted with him for decades now. He could have cared less if he lived or died. So I took advantage of that." Then she sighed still not able to put her finger on what was bothering her about Henry so she grabbed her glass of liquor and drank it.

" Boy Katherine when you want revenge. You sure don't hold back sweetie.' she puts her arm on Fitz's shoulder laughing. "When you said Gabriel should burn in hell for what he tried to do to you. I didn't think you literally meant it."

" Well I did. Of course that was after I remembered. Besides he deserved it."

" Don't you think Klaus is going to be upset he wasn't the one to avenge your honor?"

" Doesn't matter apparently Kol told me that I told him not to kill him. And if I did remember and still wanted revenge that I could hunt him down later and I could make him burn for it." She smiled unevenly at the conversation.

" I did say that but I didn't think you would take it literally, Katherine." Sophia brother sat up on the leather sofa turned his head looking over his shoulder to smile at her. Then noticed his Original body laying on the table.

" Kol." Katherine looked over to the sofa. Sophia turned around to see him getting up.

Fitz waved his hand at Kol who smiled at him. Then Sophia nodded her head towards the hall at the two guys and they left with her.

Katherine pressed her lips and wanted to hit him for making her wait for him to wake up.

"Your finally awake."

" I guess I should be thanking you that you switched my soul with Gabriel's."

He dared to smile at her. So she hit him. Kol grabbed her hand.

" What was that for?"

" You were suppose to stick to the plan. You were only suppose to get the oak wood stake from Rebekah not get yourself almost killed. What did you expect me to do if you had been..." He pulls her into him pulling her down to sit next to him on the leather sofa.

"I'm sorry darling." He said hugging her

" I told you not to underestimate this town." sighing into his shoulder.

" I've learned my lesson." he says with Sophia's brother hand up.

She got up to sit on the table." By the way is this Sophia's brother she said was in a coma body I'm in." He gives it a look and pats it.

" Yes. Thank goodness she agreed to let you borrow it otherwise you would have been stuck in Gabriel's body." She leaned in to smirk at him.

" What can I say I'm charming. I don't even wanna think about that for a second."

" Yeah well she's taken." She crosses her arms and leg over her other.

"Well I am grateful for her help but I'm not interested in her. Also I wouldn't want to be bitten by her wolf." He took a drink then asked. "But don't you think their going to notice I'm not dead." He raised an eyebrow at her.

" How? It's not like Gabriel hasn't turned as many vampires as you did. I still wish Frances hadn't turn him though." Kol shrugged his shoulders. "I'm just glad I gave you that advice back then.' he put his arm on the sofa. " Even though I should have killed him when I found you two. But I thought Nik should have that honor since he was the one that turned Frances." He lifted his glass in a salute. Then he clapped his hands together

" So then. How's Nik? I'm sure he's righteously pissed about now." He smiled taking a sip of Katherine's glass until she snatched it back.

" He's fine. Actually he's a wolf right now." She smiled taking a drink.

" A wolf. My brother turned himself into a wolf."

" That reminds me." Katherine set her glass down stood up looking over to go find Sophia.

Kol stood up to stop her. "First tell me. Why are you helping him?"

" He's your brother Kol."

" That's not what I meant." Then Kol feeling something odd, screamed and collapsed to the ground. Katherine stood there. " Sophia." she screamed.

Sophia ran into the room. " What."

" What happened? Why did he collapse?"

" I told you before. Were you even listening when I explained it. I was working on two spells at the same time. You expect that it would work all at once."

Katherine lifted her arms up gaping at her to explain.

" Look one spell was to transfer two souls at the same time. Gabriel's into Kol's Original body as it burned and the other one was to switch his soul back into his body so it wouldn't be in my brother's." She lifted her finger pointing at the bodies. " I might like Kol but I don't think my brother is going to appreciate a stranger sharing his body when he wakes up." Then she turned around to almost walk back out of the room until Katherine stopped her and told her that Klaus could still shift into a wolf inside the barrier. Sophia smiled and said she was going to get something in her car and left the room.

Few minutes later Katherine drinking her glass when she finishes it she notices Kol waking up on the table. A little groggy.

" Feeling better."

" Much better, thank you." he smiled sarcastically at her. She handed him a glass of liquor. He drank down and set it down on the table. " Now where were we. That's right I remember."

"Why are you after the cure too Katherine." He said gripping her arm.

" There's someone I don't want to turn back into a wolf." She pulled out of his grasp.

" Who?" he said eye her not letting her leave as she was about to run past him.

Katherine looked up trying to think. "Don't try to run darling, now that I'm back in my own body. You know I'm quicker."

" My daughter."

" Your daughter. She died a long time ago. So don't try to trick me.' he lifted his head " unless you turned someone that resembles her." He choked a laugh. " What's her name?"

She gulped looking at him. "Amelia."

"Amelia.' he nodded his head smiling. "Nice name. Why haven't I met her?"

She took in a breath as she told him. " I just recently met her again myself."

He thought about it for a second. " Why recently?"

Katherine licked her lips bouncing on her foot. "Because I just remembered her."

" Why are you fidgeting?' he asked looking down at her feet then back up. " So let me try to understand this. She's a girl you turned that is a wolf. Have you learned nothing from my incident with Angelina."

" I didn't know she was one when I turned her."

" So then how did you find out she is one?" Katherine opened her mouth but Kol spoke first before she could. " Nik." He turned away then back to her. "He's met her. And my brother happens to mention to you that the girl you turned is a wolf."

Katherine turned her head then back to him and glanced in hopes Sophia would return.

" Tell me Katerina. Why would Nik make you forget this girl Amelia." he enunciated each word angrily. He lifted his head waiting for her answer.

" I tried to turn her but I failed too. So Klaus finished..he turned her for me."

" Why did you fail to turn this girl?"

"I thought Rose turned me."

"So Nik compelled you to forget drinking his blood. And let you think Rose sired you."

" He didn't let me. Rose gave me her blood to heal me. And I assumed..." she turned her head away at last sentence. "...that she turned you." he finished for her. She looked at him. "Yeah." she said softly.

"So Amelia has yours and Nik's blood inside her when she turned. Which makes her yours and my brother's daughter, Katerina."

" Don't call me that. You only call me that when..." Then Kol interrupted her.

" How long? When did you turn her?" he asked.

" Sometime after my daughter died I thought I would never feel that same feeling again. Until I found her in England. The last time I was in England I saw her again and I stayed for some years with her until Klaus showed up again." She said quietly.

" That long, huh, before you met me in Asia." He glared at her.

Katherine looked down at the floor then up at him. "Kol." She tried to touch his arm.

He lifted his hands up in the air shook her off him. "Don't touch me. Do not touch me Katerina." he said running his hand in his hair turning away from her.

" I didn't know she was alive until recently. He compelled me to forget her to protect me and her." She said looking at him.

He turned around feeling disgusted. "Protect you." he spitted out. "He compelled you to forget her for centuries." He grabbed her wanting to shake her.

" Mikael was in town. He compelled us both. But Amelia tricked him. So I was told to hide in a hotel and forget that she survived and Klaus left after he failed to turn her."

Kol let go not knowing what to say. So he walked up to her holding her.

" I'm sorry I yelled at you, darling.' she closed her eyes. "It must have been hard to have thought you lost another daughter all these years." He kissed her forehead.

"He didn't want me to be tempted to go see her the way I did with..."

"Shhh. He's gone. He can't hurt you or Amelia."

"But why did Nik wait until recently to tell you she's alive?"

"I don't know. You know your brother. Hybrid of secrets."

"Yes he is."

Kol turned to her letting her go. "But I still can't let you get that cure and waken Silas."

" At least before you go. Couldn't you at least wait until your body heals completely. Also Klaus doesn't know your alive. You could at least wait until he sees you in person before you leave."

"Fine then. I'll wait. When does Nik get out of that barrier."

She sighed shook her head. "I guess when ever Sophia can get him out. Or when that spell ends." Then she walked up to him.

Kol laughed out loud sitting on the table. " He's not going to be pleased about that." Katherine shrugged her shoulders. Kol looked up at her looking down at him.

" I believe I still owe you an apology." he grinned at her.

Katherine frowned at him amused as she bent down to receive his kiss. He held onto her shoulders kissing her. Then she lifted her head pointing her finger at his face. "Don't you tell Klaus." He motioned with his fingers that his lips were sealed.

Then he smiled at her and she smiled back laughing. Then he moved to sit on the sofa and she sat down next to him.

"Does Rebekah know I'm alive."

"No. I haven't told her yet. I thought it'd be better to wait until we get Klaus out."

Kol sighed turning his head away then looked back at her not wanting to think of Klaus and Katherine having a daughter. He couldn't believe it, they had a daughter. But now he was certain about one thing about his brother.
