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?523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3UBLdNhyB
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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vf3rnuehG
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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi8i6QOQUS
“Well, haven’t you had a rough night,” he greeted and then gave a smile, but it wasn’t a friendly one.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFvgoqlh3p
“More than a rough night,” she corrected him.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr0ZWUHsnM
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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUtLd1Ow14

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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwz0PZ5FnF
He stopped, smelling human blood, Lucien, and a very familiar scent that he’d know anywhere. She was supposed to be dead, though.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjExLGUjYuh
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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeCQj81oHm
He stood between her where she now lay on the ground and Lucien got to his feet.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3eZiKGGbw
“What are you doing?” he questioned the Original hybrid.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj961z1A1LW
“I could ask you the same thing,” Klaus answered.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85uyPmYIrS
“So, what? You’re protecting a human now?” Lucien accused.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFcwjc6S2n
“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.”523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGZbfDsk9N
“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.”523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDrHsDcSF2
He gave a growl and then ripped out his heart.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw3eZCgYuw
“No one threatens me like that and gets away with it,” he growled.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdfG3b6fu7
A moment later, he was knelt at Katerina’s side.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGWXO8D9MZ
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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7674avxxar
“Stay with me, Katerina. You’ll be okay, luv. Just stay with me.”523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6GtInbTjq
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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhMfLYsioZ

Once in his room, he gently layed her down in his bed. He then sat on her bedside, waiting for her to come to.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyM5ty8VAf

Hours later, when she finally came to, she realized where she was and saw who was with her.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcNkchqQzq
“Klaus?” she questioned.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HOmJFid0d
“It’s me, luv. Feeling better?”523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUwUiuQLA8
“Yeah; thanks.”523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CrvjvVTJu
“You’re welcome, Katerina. Now what are you doing in New Orleans? Last I heard you were supposed to be dead.”523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3nc6hcqAB
“I don’t know. Somehow I was brought back. I don’t know how,” she explained.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH4tzcSfTV
“Welcome to New Orleans then, luv,” he replied with a smile.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv9GhLLxDm
