Summary: Set in S3E1. After Lucien comes to town claiming that he wants to help Klaus, bodies start turning up. Lucien goes too far one night and is found out. What will happen?522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvgXo6RhMK
It was a dark night in New Orleans, as a human and injured Katherine Pierce walked, heading for the compound, needing help. She had ended up in New Orleans after somehow ending up alive again and human.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCteo7MlgiC
Suddenly, seeing who she assumed to be a vampire, she stopped, and he pulled her into an alley; like he had with the others. He was here to cause trouble for Klaus, instead of helping him. He had lied to Klaus, but figured that he wouldn’t be found out.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOHGiX1TSg
“Well, haven’t you had a rough night,” he greeted and then gave a smile, but it wasn’t a friendly one.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oFxcHJG2b
“More than a rough night,” she corrected him.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfbJmwBWjQ
He pinned her to a wall in the alley, before vamping out and drinking from her. He’d have a little, before he did to her what he had done to the others. Unlike some of the others, she was human.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaG11IRbNS

Klaus was walking, skewering the city for evidence of who was doing the recent vampire murders that Cami thought was the doing of Lucien, because they had started when he had arrived in town. Klaus saw her point, but he didn’t think Lucien would kill his own kind without a good enough reason. Besides, Klaus had sired him and they were old time friends. The trouble was that his friends tended to turn on him and become his enemies.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL6p46Dn1C
He stopped, smelling human blood, Lucien, and a very familiar scent that he’d know anywhere. She was supposed to be dead, though.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikMyKxjD8D
Before Lucien could kill her like he had the vampires, he arrived at hybrid speed and through him away from her. No matter what, he wouldn’t let an old friend or enemy kill her.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQophPqDOK
He stood between her where she now lay on the ground and Lucien got to his feet.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvMTZklrBK
“What are you doing?” he questioned the Original hybrid.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK0ixFfUqS
“I could ask you the same thing,” Klaus answered.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZFQfSiinP
“So, what? You’re protecting a human now?” Lucien accused.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfYXzgcIDP
“She’s not just any human. Let’s just say she and I have a long history. So, it is you. You’re the one killing vampires.”522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0XPV1fjBz
“And if I am? You wouldn’t kill an old friend, Klaus. It isn’t in you anymore. You’ve gone soft. You’re like a tame dog that doesn’t quite have the guts to bite back.”522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqTinmdvRS
He gave a growl and then ripped out his heart.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQWNw4BBlE
“No one threatens me like that and gets away with it,” he growled.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiYNt5IGNG
A moment later, he was knelt at Katerina’s side.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaD3VuIdCA
He gently pulled her into his arms and bit his wrist, putting it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat to heal her.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvJB8asBYY
“Stay with me, Katerina. You’ll be okay, luv. Just stay with me.”522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCOTBPZhWK
After her wounds healed, he took his wrist away which instantly healed, and got to his feet, her in his arms, heading home to the compound. He wasn’t a complete monster. He couldn’t leave her there; especially, when he assumed she didn’t have a place to stay.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGIAfHCJyX

Once in his room, he gently layed her down in his bed. He then sat on her bedside, waiting for her to come to.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4TlHxEaSq

Hours later, when she finally came to, she realized where she was and saw who was with her.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEVW7QYb9V
“Klaus?” she questioned.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTApPNCejiZ
“It’s me, luv. Feeling better?”522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozbXbca2JR
“Yeah; thanks.”522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujX8UjigdS
“You’re welcome, Katerina. Now what are you doing in New Orleans? Last I heard you were supposed to be dead.”522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUecQqfBYg
“I don’t know. Somehow I was brought back. I don’t know how,” she explained.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lo2LGeA3U
“Welcome to New Orleans then, luv,” he replied with a smile.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVI3AiDJcC
