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?515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyAmKCx5fl
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIy4sSCkp2
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccM7cbUON2
“Well, haven’t you had a rough night,” he greeted and then gave a smile, but it wasn’t a friendly one.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOzAp4mTVA
“More than a rough night,” she corrected him.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M0LmEhjJM
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp1kAWPXP3

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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVIQI8Crok
He stopped, smelling human blood, Lucien, and a very familiar scent that he’d know anywhere. She was supposed to be dead, though.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8jIzJxkKp
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d0blRp3Gf
He stood between her where she now lay on the ground and Lucien got to his feet.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKGwIbe9IB
“What are you doing?” he questioned the Original hybrid.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpvirQZFXu
“I could ask you the same thing,” Klaus answered.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCz12S4VIo
“So, what? You’re protecting a human now?” Lucien accused.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50Us4GMZHN
“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.”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm6Xr7RzFV
“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.”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qITL7hXeQ
He gave a growl and then ripped out his heart.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyvxhBoky4
“No one threatens me like that and gets away with it,” he growled.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1UhDazQSj
A moment later, he was knelt at Katerina’s side.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI7OusWFmw
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiriWkW5Ln
“Stay with me, Katerina. You’ll be okay, luv. Just stay with me.”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZrDdbqhow
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVKRuQlS3g

Once in his room, he gently layed her down in his bed. He then sat on her bedside, waiting for her to come to.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHcy1WXayB

Hours later, when she finally came to, she realized where she was and saw who was with her.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8CKcd0kgJ
“Klaus?” she questioned.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumRLDkGsSz
“It’s me, luv. Feeling better?”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdmnOZHPDp
“Yeah; thanks.”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePEjS6x7ll
“You’re welcome, Katerina. Now what are you doing in New Orleans? Last I heard you were supposed to be dead.”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt87FWSUyia
“I don’t know. Somehow I was brought back. I don’t know how,” she explained.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp1N9tP19X
“Welcome to New Orleans then, luv,” he replied with a smile.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJjNbH2ENf
