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?561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dOwVAHWoV
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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3i9BP30tb
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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aUnL4P2DH
“Well, haven’t you had a rough night,” he greeted and then gave a smile, but it wasn’t a friendly one.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1vAGtIPvp
“More than a rough night,” she corrected him.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH5VMcsZCA
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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7MLXKbnC7

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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28cSJmO3l4
He stopped, smelling human blood, Lucien, and a very familiar scent that he’d know anywhere. She was supposed to be dead, though.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZriQ8WaJF
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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq1ZoimEPJ
He stood between her where she now lay on the ground and Lucien got to his feet.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9DJFYvLuE
“What are you doing?” he questioned the Original hybrid.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK5wi5mW2s
“I could ask you the same thing,” Klaus answered.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqsfCzlBwQ
“So, what? You’re protecting a human now?” Lucien accused.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZrs6j5pqO
“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.”561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hNZCenTLA
“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.”561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMF5RKk7Bk
He gave a growl and then ripped out his heart.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkTYXiUeUd
“No one threatens me like that and gets away with it,” he growled.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjAgkVe70H
A moment later, he was knelt at Katerina’s side.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9asjBHWx3B
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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwbNIw8AaB
“Stay with me, Katerina. You’ll be okay, luv. Just stay with me.”561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF4BIIbJFK
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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IotbHNFSh

Once in his room, he gently layed her down in his bed. He then sat on her bedside, waiting for her to come to.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCd2kI9TBc

Hours later, when she finally came to, she realized where she was and saw who was with her.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUyuHMHSxy
“Klaus?” she questioned.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiwJXWMjP1
“It’s me, luv. Feeling better?”561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQGvefepWJ
“Yeah; thanks.”561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ61zNVDAm
“You’re welcome, Katerina. Now what are you doing in New Orleans? Last I heard you were supposed to be dead.”561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KalFLHMvc
“I don’t know. Somehow I was brought back. I don’t know how,” she explained.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKjvuIESjr
“Welcome to New Orleans then, luv,” he replied with a smile.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MnZuOSD13
