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?556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNtuykUiCo
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.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbvEGBduja
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.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3I51YSxHl
“Well, haven’t you had a rough night,” he greeted and then gave a smile, but it wasn’t a friendly one.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMQWzKkMaP
“More than a rough night,” she corrected him.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5waNgqVeYU
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.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5zcyljpbI

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.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYJYsZa2da
He stopped, smelling human blood, Lucien, and a very familiar scent that he’d know anywhere. She was supposed to be dead, though.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UQfMPfRhm
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.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yMe8S9LgV
He stood between her where she now lay on the ground and Lucien got to his feet.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILJD0OFhRT
“What are you doing?” he questioned the Original hybrid.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkOpo8L8on
“I could ask you the same thing,” Klaus answered.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbzCNAqCew
“So, what? You’re protecting a human now?” Lucien accused.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Chx8tJynK
“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.”556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORblIU2Mwa
“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.”556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwKeWSwIb1
He gave a growl and then ripped out his heart.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs7x3sbCik
“No one threatens me like that and gets away with it,” he growled.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFaSVTRYj9
A moment later, he was knelt at Katerina’s side.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXwl30BOkl
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.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kDQvOrf7X
“Stay with me, Katerina. You’ll be okay, luv. Just stay with me.”556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEyFrLOBKA
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.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj78Pzj8Ko3

Once in his room, he gently layed her down in his bed. He then sat on her bedside, waiting for her to come to.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQdR56A6Xz

Hours later, when she finally came to, she realized where she was and saw who was with her.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hkBmgsTUM
“Klaus?” she questioned.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw4Jvx1ecP
“It’s me, luv. Feeling better?”556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcKhdF19Ao
“Yeah; thanks.”556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcwnFYl9z2
“You’re welcome, Katerina. Now what are you doing in New Orleans? Last I heard you were supposed to be dead.”556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOaLJY1TLv
“I don’t know. Somehow I was brought back. I don’t know how,” she explained.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWghFBodLnA
“Welcome to New Orleans then, luv,” he replied with a smile.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBLNnYAl0a
