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?516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHE9fYErUr
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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKLvcNGpYS
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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY9O2fJV8R
“Well, haven’t you had a rough night,” he greeted and then gave a smile, but it wasn’t a friendly one.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDgQzYILig
“More than a rough night,” she corrected him.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjLX9sn0I3
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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPhIZjbkbZ

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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IemSpTnsK
He stopped, smelling human blood, Lucien, and a very familiar scent that he’d know anywhere. She was supposed to be dead, though.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfUvvLe0EE
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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDW98oyJ8H
He stood between her where she now lay on the ground and Lucien got to his feet.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2Fys4mhYq
“What are you doing?” he questioned the Original hybrid.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9pLhPNfG5
“I could ask you the same thing,” Klaus answered.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrxNxV3wTX
“So, what? You’re protecting a human now?” Lucien accused.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDwhyHQ5R0
“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.”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowMpHeEYEJ
“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.”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXioRBQXhsr
He gave a growl and then ripped out his heart.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDcx4O7INn
“No one threatens me like that and gets away with it,” he growled.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssP1KgCrMA
A moment later, he was knelt at Katerina’s side.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEocZ2Y9hM
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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4kQ413uVD
“Stay with me, Katerina. You’ll be okay, luv. Just stay with me.”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hk6Fd6Oxw
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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5fLZz2YhK

Once in his room, he gently layed her down in his bed. He then sat on her bedside, waiting for her to come to.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsLxPosecn

Hours later, when she finally came to, she realized where she was and saw who was with her.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBRDBf7mQ3
“Klaus?” she questioned.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafgQ8WRVuQ
“It’s me, luv. Feeling better?”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdtM8wD4qd
“Yeah; thanks.”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD86jfb7KB
“You’re welcome, Katerina. Now what are you doing in New Orleans? Last I heard you were supposed to be dead.”516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S0E51kmqI
“I don’t know. Somehow I was brought back. I don’t know how,” she explained.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTRlXQIGkC
“Welcome to New Orleans then, luv,” he replied with a smile.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvaFjtkkr1
