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?529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABQ4Etl1hT
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2wSbdQUyU
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqA3bDzhxP
“Well, haven’t you had a rough night,” he greeted and then gave a smile, but it wasn’t a friendly one.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D6SBDzCpE
“More than a rough night,” she corrected him.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYyu4Z4uvv
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMppq4bpyz

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXY0KtrtDi
He stopped, smelling human blood, Lucien, and a very familiar scent that he’d know anywhere. She was supposed to be dead, though.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKuYqJnfMg
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ez3U2th7b
He stood between her where she now lay on the ground and Lucien got to his feet.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKqJ0LBW8O
“What are you doing?” he questioned the Original hybrid.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJVDIk1Ek6
“I could ask you the same thing,” Klaus answered.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5YJd4jGkf
“So, what? You’re protecting a human now?” Lucien accused.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVjGbuwsaZ
“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.”529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4k16hDVNx
“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.”529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSP2YFSUWZ
He gave a growl and then ripped out his heart.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILV0RxhDch
“No one threatens me like that and gets away with it,” he growled.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsKn4XyRM3
A moment later, he was knelt at Katerina’s side.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg6wTJfMBT
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzxpYHql0k
“Stay with me, Katerina. You’ll be okay, luv. Just stay with me.”529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn2IqHInKU
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBal3NfPwRH

Once in his room, he gently layed her down in his bed. He then sat on her bedside, waiting for her to come to.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkSiz2PybI

Hours later, when she finally came to, she realized where she was and saw who was with her.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK4mzwRv1D
“Klaus?” she questioned.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSehWWnuCSS
“It’s me, luv. Feeling better?”529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUkZkHHSVx
“Yeah; thanks.”529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7IMLpqD1Q
“You’re welcome, Katerina. Now what are you doing in New Orleans? Last I heard you were supposed to be dead.”529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEICdmE3F63
“I don’t know. Somehow I was brought back. I don’t know how,” she explained.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PZQ38KaAS
“Welcome to New Orleans then, luv,” he replied with a smile.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t2TeofQp6
