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?533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO8beoqmiH
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeuThAlHIi
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8rvZWTWcz
“Well, haven’t you had a rough night,” he greeted and then gave a smile, but it wasn’t a friendly one.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rsnCGVyLL
“More than a rough night,” she corrected him.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DyWU6yBY0
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOjtUPBfqQ

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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHrt6eJgyf
He stopped, smelling human blood, Lucien, and a very familiar scent that he’d know anywhere. She was supposed to be dead, though.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVBU7mlQgq
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo14zcFc4o
He stood between her where she now lay on the ground and Lucien got to his feet.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTiXCom8Pz
“What are you doing?” he questioned the Original hybrid.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotmPuFEWUb
“I could ask you the same thing,” Klaus answered.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsyDSrqQDQ
“So, what? You’re protecting a human now?” Lucien accused.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJxlqCjeg9
“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.”533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8laHaXX5oX
“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.”533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw3eqErBqm
He gave a growl and then ripped out his heart.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlV3ScMjCb
“No one threatens me like that and gets away with it,” he growled.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKNk0L9YAn
A moment later, he was knelt at Katerina’s side.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26K9vMDf1V
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTNiRaUpo5
“Stay with me, Katerina. You’ll be okay, luv. Just stay with me.”533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIJCPBGxPg
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7HqgVnmmF

Once in his room, he gently layed her down in his bed. He then sat on her bedside, waiting for her to come to.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyykJena9f

Hours later, when she finally came to, she realized where she was and saw who was with her.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XlcyKSMpW
“Klaus?” she questioned.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn7fEUQCfm
“It’s me, luv. Feeling better?”533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qi6Yzze94
“Yeah; thanks.”533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrW5aGnnDY
“You’re welcome, Katerina. Now what are you doing in New Orleans? Last I heard you were supposed to be dead.”533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPbrc4tMFa
“I don’t know. Somehow I was brought back. I don’t know how,” she explained.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5nTxO9vgH
“Welcome to New Orleans then, luv,” he replied with a smile.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxGU6Pn36E
