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?462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtD3Bhjlk8
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWfYPscQYv
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolKwN5rycZ
“Well, haven’t you had a rough night,” he greeted and then gave a smile, but it wasn’t a friendly one.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ8BcbDXYp
“More than a rough night,” she corrected him.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx0bYbOt7q
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXPXKgcRAg

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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1Dg2MOVb3
He stopped, smelling human blood, Lucien, and a very familiar scent that he’d know anywhere. She was supposed to be dead, though.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBXGs8Chvv
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9o1DGAYIr
He stood between her where she now lay on the ground and Lucien got to his feet.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wq6ehCcp1
“What are you doing?” he questioned the Original hybrid.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtAFM6hFbZ
“I could ask you the same thing,” Klaus answered.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwREqFFyxsB
“So, what? You’re protecting a human now?” Lucien accused.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv7Bq9E9Wg
“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.”462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yx0mblUPp
“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.”462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SdrbQZ51e
He gave a growl and then ripped out his heart.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoUR6bhKFR
“No one threatens me like that and gets away with it,” he growled.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N8D7gE4KW
A moment later, he was knelt at Katerina’s side.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8AgF5luJu
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2VP7UD6Gg
“Stay with me, Katerina. You’ll be okay, luv. Just stay with me.”462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjwzsnVVyk
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFFIqrgn8w

Once in his room, he gently layed her down in his bed. He then sat on her bedside, waiting for her to come to.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3217bNoYCv

Hours later, when she finally came to, she realized where she was and saw who was with her.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSILTCxwkIa
“Klaus?” she questioned.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpJ9iXus5k
“It’s me, luv. Feeling better?”462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImlUmAFnqt
“Yeah; thanks.”462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDqP1Tvxmc
“You’re welcome, Katerina. Now what are you doing in New Orleans? Last I heard you were supposed to be dead.”462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkp2hzsdn1
“I don’t know. Somehow I was brought back. I don’t know how,” she explained.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NM1RUt3U7
“Welcome to New Orleans then, luv,” he replied with a smile.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF22mNOV9Q
