Chapter 8: Katerina

154, 155, 156... I lay on the cold, wet grass counting the passing seconds. This was one of the advantages of being a vampire. Time moved slower than our minds, which made the world our oyster. I chuckled to myself at that thought. Suddenly my senses heightened, or just one sense in particular. My hearing. I smirked as I heard the soft foot steps of my approacher. This couldn't be a human- must be a vampire. I closed my eyes and tightened the muscles in my leg, preparing myself to launch at my visitor, for I had asked my family for some alone time. Another one of senses then heightened. I could smell my approacher. It was a male, and I immediately recognized him. Then with a rush of wind, a the dark figure of my brother pounced on me. I , being ready, immediately rolled over and pinned him to the forest floor.

"Kat, you're crushing me!" Kol laughed.

"Why are you so dumb, sneaking up on your 500 year old sister?" I started tickling him.

"Stop it Kat I'm sorry" Kol pleaded while laughing hard from my tickles.

Vampire or human, I would never get over how it amused me to tickle my brother. Kol and I both got turned during our teenage years. I was turned when I was 19, and Kol when he was 16. Though I was supposed to be a mature adult, this childish side of mine never left, as oppose to my humanity. Which had finally left me completely a century ago. My humanity was never much of a sensitive topic to me, it was rather boring to me. I got off of Kol and sat up on the wet grass.

"Why were you stalking me you idiot?" I joked.

"Elijah wants you back at the house, you know how he gets if you're gone for too long" Kol said sitting up.

Normally I would've sighed, for no matter how many times I explained to Elijah, he would never understand that I don't have any feelings for him. Though Elijah is from the original family of vampires, the vampires that created all other vampires, he was a hopeless romantic. I stood up and pulled Kol onto his feet.

"Well, let's get going then. By the way, where's Rebekah? I didn't see her after she picked me up from that boy's house. She stopped the car halfway to the house and left me to drive myself." I asked.

Kol shrugged.

"I don't know, maybe she went to sulk about her very miserable existence" Kol snickered.

Then we took off, flying through the forest. Running was my most favorite part of vampire life. The feeling of the wind flowing through my long black hair, and the ground barely touching me as I made my long strides. For a human, going this fast would mean that their surroundings would become blurred. Instead for me, and every other vampire, we could see clearly. The sounds of every animal, insect, bird, and drops of rainwater was easily detected by my amazing hearing. Then the scent of our house hit me. It was a very distinguishable scent, for Elijah's cologne always masked it. To a human, the cologne wouldn't be that noticeable, but for a vampire, the scent was quite extreme. I've never appreciated cologne on a man, but Elijah's was different. It was almost natural. We had only been running for fifteen seconds, but I could already make out the house.

Our small family consisted of me, Katerina Petrova( my real name), my brother Kol Petrova, Elijah Mikaelson, and his sister/ my best friend Rebekah Mikaelson. Sometimes, Elijah's other sister, Freya, who is a witch, would visit us. Elijah had another brother, Niklaus Mikaelson. His reputation is so terrible in the supernatural world, that even the strongest of vampires trembled before saying his name.

Klaus was the one that turned me and my brother. He had done many horrible things to me. Still, something about him drives me crazy. When he was with me, I would be angry with him, but as soon as he was close enough for me to feel his breath on my skin, I would forget everything. By everything, I mean my name and who I am. I would then crave for Klaus to come closer to me, and so he would. Klaus and I have made love so many times. Before I would come determined that I wouldn't give in to him, but as soon as he got close to me, he drove me crazy. His every touch, and his kisses that he planted never left me. Even though I should be happy that Klaus is in danger right now, I yearned for him to make love with me.

Yes, Klaus Mikaelson, the one that everyone feared is in danger. Klaus is not just the oldest of the original vampire family. He is also a hybrid. Klaus's real father was from ware wolf bloodline. After Klaus's adoptive father turned all his children, except for his oldest daughter Freya, into vampires, Klaus became a vampire-ware wolf hybrid. He never appreciated his ware wolf side, so he never phased. His vampire side kept him strong, but after a thousand years, the emptiness of his ware wolf side has finally started to affect him. He has gotten weaker and he needs the help a ver powerful stone to revive his ware wolf side. He is finally reached to be a hybrid.

This is where Noah Black comes in. As per Rebekah's research, Noah is from ware wolf bloodline. The stone, called the moonstone, is under the secure possession of the ware wolves. Noah being the very unsuspecting boy he is, shouldn't make it hard for me to get the whereabouts of the moonstone. Many may call me selfish and undeserving of the handsome boy, but I needed Klaus. Some frustrating part of me ached for him. Though I knew that the return of Klaus would cost me my freedom, for he always dominated all of my decisions.

Kol and I flew through the doors of the magnificent mansion. As suspected, Elijah had decided to bring over company- delicious company. As soon as the doors had opened, the scent of human blood slapped me right in the face. Kol and I stopped in our tracks inside of the house, right in front of the door. I looked at Kol, and I could see his golden eyes darken to a black, my eyes must look the same. I felt the veins under my eyes expand. I caught my reflection in a mirror, and I saw my black eyes with veins coming out from under my eyes touch my cheekbones, still underneath my skin. The veins like my eyes were black.

Kol and I walked to living room to find Elijah's lips on another human girl's neck, draining the life out of her. Though I had told myself many times that I have no feelings for him, the thought of his lips on another woman angered me. I needed a distraction. I looked over to the left to see Kol already busy with a red haired girl. I turned to my right, and I attacked the petite blonde. I grabbed her shoulder and neck, and pushed her head down and hair back. I then sank my fangs into her neck. By hitting the right spot, I was able to control the blood flow. The warm of her blood, pulsating, flowed into me. I ignored her screams from the burning of my venom, and I soon felt her go limp, and the thudding heart of her's went silent. I then filled myself.

I drank from five other girls until I almost felt sloshy on the inside. Elijah was already done, and had sent Kol to dispose of the bodies. I knew what this 'Elijah and Katherine alone time' meant. He would try to change my feelings about him. Before he could do so, I dashed up the stairs to the bathroom. I stripped down till I was completely naked, and jumped into the shower. I let the warm water trickle down my body. It was relaxing, but it felt nothing like Klaus's fingers brushing every inch of me. I looked down to see the leftover blood of my victims swirling down the drain. Suddenly, I heard a short rapping on the door. I pretended no to hear. Right then, the door clicked open, and Elijah's scent hit me. Shoot, did I forget to lock the door?

"I know you heard me Katerina" Elijah's said, in his perfect gentlemanly voice.

"What do you want?" I snapped back.

I knew, that even with the thick layer of steam on the shower glass, he could see me clearly. He could see me naked.

"You look lovely" He sighed.

I rolled my eyes.

"Every naked woman looks lovely Elijah"

"You, are different. Lovely would be an understatement for you. Even the words enthralling, enticing, or resplendent wouldn't be enough for you"

I couldn't help, but Elijah made me blush. He always made me feel safe, somehow. Klaus would be rough with me, while Elijah would always take things slow, and would back off if I wanted him to. Always a gentleman.

I turned off the water and stepped out. I felt his glide over me as he took in my naked body. I then looked up at him and gasped. Elijah was wearing nothing more than a bath robe. This was very unlikely of him. He always stuck to wearing five hundred dollar suits and never presented himself like this. He stepped forward and pressed his bare chest against my naked body. I caught my breath. Elijah's cold breath tickled my face. Who was Klaus? Who am I? I lost all my train of thought and memory. All I knew is that Elijah is perfect and he, from some miracle wants me. But how could I? How could I, after I chose his awful brother over him for three centuries. How could he still want me? If I were still human, there would've been tears of shame and regret welling up in my eyes. But how could that be possible? I gave up my humanity. I guess Elijah still held onto some part of my humanity.

I stepped backwards until my back pressed against the glass doors of the shower. I had to be careful, if I put even another fraction of force, then the glass will break. That didn't stop Elijah. He kept moving until our bodies touched once again. His left arm then wrapped around my waist, and his right hand settled on my cheek. He tried to pull me in, but I shuddered from pleasure. He must've gotten the wrong message, so he decided to move in himself. His head bent down and his lips were only a centimeter away. The slightest movement would result in the touch of our lips. If I were human now, then my heart would've been racing at the speed of a spaceship.

Would I be able to handle it? The touch of his lips on mine. Would I be able to not melt away from the immense pleasure I could already feel. Well, there's only one way to find out. I angled my head up to let him know what I want. Elijah didn't need any convincing. His head made a slight movement and his lips were on mine, kissing me feverishly. To a human, the touch of a vampire would feel like touching ice cold marble. Vampires when touching other vampires feel the same way if two humans were touching. Vampire skin is warm and soft to other vampires. Elijah's lips melted onto mine, and we started to softly kiss each other.

His right hand was no longer on my cheek, but was now making its way down my chest. I convulsed from pleasure. His hand then brushed all the way down to my stomach, and then to the most sensitive are of my body. My lips parted from his to moan from the intense pleasure. His lips then got busy on my neck and throat. My left hand finger nails dug into his skin and my right hand went to the small of his back. The hand that Elijah had kept on my waist now curled around my bottom and he lifted me off the ground. I involuntarily wrapped my legs around his waist. He kissed me while carrying me to his bedroom.

When we got there, he gently laid me down. Klaus would've thrown me onto some rock. He would've been violent, but Elijah was being so soft and loving. I used to think I liked what Klaus would do to me, but Elijah made me go insane. After laying me down, he crawled up on top of me and hitched my left leg around his waist. His hands then started to roam around my body, and attack all my sensitive areas. His lips were on mine, kissing, licking, sucking. Suddenly his lips stopped moving, and he got off of me. I was about to complain, but he put a finger over my lips. My senses then got to work, and once again, my hearing was the answer.

Somewhere far off into the woods, I could hear the fast running movements of a vampire. No, not one but... three different vampires. Three different smells then met my nostrils. One was easily recognizable, Rebekah's scent. The other one was unrecognizable, I don't know this vampire, and the last one, I could detect within a crowd of millions, finally hit me. This was his scent. Klaus was here, and my days of freedom are once again over.
