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?574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodzV6daggP
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.574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuqLOud1FW
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.574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLyyZzSEBR
“Well, haven’t you had a rough night,” he greeted and then gave a smile, but it wasn’t a friendly one.574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDKDWjLV96
“More than a rough night,” she corrected him.574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWxAmjD7X5
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.574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG62zBOktkG

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.574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvXBVKseb4
He stopped, smelling human blood, Lucien, and a very familiar scent that he’d know anywhere. She was supposed to be dead, though.574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBp4kyrnsO
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.574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBlUumDZVz
He stood between her where she now lay on the ground and Lucien got to his feet.574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYrsKliN4W
“What are you doing?” he questioned the Original hybrid.574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXihIVtiFBN
“I could ask you the same thing,” Klaus answered.574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH1iCPq2Xv
“So, what? You’re protecting a human now?” Lucien accused.574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld0ypZgyNP
“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.”574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykKXgW2VzB
“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.”574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEFyfKKVQh
He gave a growl and then ripped out his heart.574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClbSyo40R4
“No one threatens me like that and gets away with it,” he growled.574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPUWe3Cz7P
A moment later, he was knelt at Katerina’s side.574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0EPUeQxha
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.574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqZeGwohgF
“Stay with me, Katerina. You’ll be okay, luv. Just stay with me.”574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qqc8GbonA
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.574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVus3xunbZ

Once in his room, he gently layed her down in his bed. He then sat on her bedside, waiting for her to come to.574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5ZbtP7d8A

Hours later, when she finally came to, she realized where she was and saw who was with her.574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Au8m5fPvY
“Klaus?” she questioned.574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfljj8xCts
“It’s me, luv. Feeling better?”574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVmvV2iu6z
“Yeah; thanks.”574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXbk1PXFb8
“You’re welcome, Katerina. Now what are you doing in New Orleans? Last I heard you were supposed to be dead.”574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AKF23yElc
“I don’t know. Somehow I was brought back. I don’t know how,” she explained.574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVoqaJlBbG
“Welcome to New Orleans then, luv,” he replied with a smile.574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89IYCRQ9GF
