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?564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GSg9QWfFb
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.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklaZlqNk6D
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.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEfCmkcBBm
“Well, haven’t you had a rough night,” he greeted and then gave a smile, but it wasn’t a friendly one.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iYAxqo4Xt
“More than a rough night,” she corrected him.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbVHl6z4Vu
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.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhndtddMKNH

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.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadkjoTzjil
He stopped, smelling human blood, Lucien, and a very familiar scent that he’d know anywhere. She was supposed to be dead, though.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoxZ70Ojgl
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.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4C6b0nOKH
He stood between her where she now lay on the ground and Lucien got to his feet.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nhYTg57da
“What are you doing?” he questioned the Original hybrid.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpzPz047jO
“I could ask you the same thing,” Klaus answered.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9i9ZXX7zN
“So, what? You’re protecting a human now?” Lucien accused.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvnYNe4YXw
“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.”564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg7ltBzoMq
“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.”564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNX0kWortB
He gave a growl and then ripped out his heart.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOUuVUTLbT
“No one threatens me like that and gets away with it,” he growled.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQt7SJZRFi
A moment later, he was knelt at Katerina’s side.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnayBMck2bM
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.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPzz9z2yfk
“Stay with me, Katerina. You’ll be okay, luv. Just stay with me.”564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNTOECldsM
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.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0Zqta86VY

Once in his room, he gently layed her down in his bed. He then sat on her bedside, waiting for her to come to.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjneeYwDEXg

Hours later, when she finally came to, she realized where she was and saw who was with her.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiahs0al3N6
“Klaus?” she questioned.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv3pSDBBxu
“It’s me, luv. Feeling better?”564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7IybZE6UI
“Yeah; thanks.”564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl1o18JdUL
“You’re welcome, Katerina. Now what are you doing in New Orleans? Last I heard you were supposed to be dead.”564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3JD2QdVNR
“I don’t know. Somehow I was brought back. I don’t know how,” she explained.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8GOQf7AyP
“Welcome to New Orleans then, luv,” he replied with a smile.564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUBhCnWvKq
