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?542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFTDipfSkz
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.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh9KqzxmW3
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.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixeccQJXWc
“Well, haven’t you had a rough night,” he greeted and then gave a smile, but it wasn’t a friendly one.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyPdZ4tRBf
“More than a rough night,” she corrected him.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQIbWIB9zR
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.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcpKD9aVNG

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.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaHADl5YYU
He stopped, smelling human blood, Lucien, and a very familiar scent that he’d know anywhere. She was supposed to be dead, though.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiya1ERZLG
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.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYK90ZJqmY
He stood between her where she now lay on the ground and Lucien got to his feet.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHFIL3x005
“What are you doing?” he questioned the Original hybrid.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNx5Sms9rv
“I could ask you the same thing,” Klaus answered.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0neU8G4amZ
“So, what? You’re protecting a human now?” Lucien accused.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiGVHWnMRu
“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.”542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ350B5ZBhzs
“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.”542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXetdlOOMY
He gave a growl and then ripped out his heart.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOGOaPBbBm
“No one threatens me like that and gets away with it,” he growled.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1l8D9NeBZ
A moment later, he was knelt at Katerina’s side.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAG0wzcPC0
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.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nb9vQ4p6x
“Stay with me, Katerina. You’ll be okay, luv. Just stay with me.”542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadncxAojNW
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.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbYDtSLQaP

Once in his room, he gently layed her down in his bed. He then sat on her bedside, waiting for her to come to.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87rGR8fVDN

Hours later, when she finally came to, she realized where she was and saw who was with her.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkuQDjsoV8
“Klaus?” she questioned.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RIvp4zoLb
“It’s me, luv. Feeling better?”542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5N13yFpdT
“Yeah; thanks.”542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT8gzAsunV
“You’re welcome, Katerina. Now what are you doing in New Orleans? Last I heard you were supposed to be dead.”542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JK0lPNELV
“I don’t know. Somehow I was brought back. I don’t know how,” she explained.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S79FxtWMu
“Welcome to New Orleans then, luv,” he replied with a smile.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmWZTtvEOl
