"I don't need you or anyone else's protection, Elena, Katherine. Whoever you are." She states once more getting up from the couch
I speed over to her and push her back down onto the couch and in return, she looks at me with a scowl on her face. To keep her down I place my hand on her shoulder and sit right next to her.
"Here's the problem with that, your brother has killed a lot of people to find you, and now that I have you he can come here and I can finally kill him. Sound good?"
Before she answers she looks over to Elena and then back to me.
"You want to protect me by using me as bait?" She asks, raising her brows
"Precisely. I want this over as fast as I can so I can go back home to my daughters so whatever I want you to do, you're gonna do." I demand
"She means that with a please and thank you." Elena smiles
"Exactly." I smile too
She takes a moment to think and she finally breaks the silence with her answer. "Fine. You use me to get to my brother and after you kill him, you leave me alone?" She asks "All of you?"
Elena goes to say something but I just shake my head at her.
"Yes, Jo. We won't bother you, not until Thanksgiving at least." I joke before getting up
"What's that supposed to mean?"
She asks but we are interrupted when Qetsiyah walks in the front door. She has a bag in her hand and is smiling but as soon as shes sees all of us, her smile drops. Jo sees that all of our eyes have turned as she follows to where we are looking and that's when I see her face covered in shock.
"Tessa, what are you doing here?" She questions
When I think this day couldn't get better then this happens. I look from Qetsiyah to Jo and back to Qetsiyah and her face tells me all I need to know.
"Qetsiyah, you know this person?" I ask, raising my brows
She keeps silent and we just all look at her when Stefan walks up to her and grab the bag and sits it down on he ground. I can tell he seems suspicious when he asks the same question as me.
"Yes, Qetsiyah, do you know this person? Because she seems to know you." He tilts his head to the side
She stutters as she starts her sentence and I automatically know she's lying but I let her finish before I get violent.
"I-I think she has me mixed up with someone else. I d-don't know her."
I scoff at her and let out a little chuckle. "That's your first lie, Q. Now would you like to tell me how THE HELL you know Jo?" I ask, clearly pissed
Qetsiyah stays silent as Jo get up from the couch and turns to look at me. Guess I'll have to get from my answers from her.
"Jo, would you like to enlighten me on how you know our little friend, Tessa?" I ask, Q's nickname laced with venom
"I met her months ago, we became friends, and then one day she disappeared. She also stole something from me..." She stops, looks over to Qetsiyah and says nothing else
"Look, if I don't get any answers soon, Jo, I WILL kill you and you won't have to worry about your brother doing it." I threaten "Now what did she steal from you?"
"The ascendant." Jo states
"Josette..." Stefan starts "... what's the ascendant?" He asks
"It's what kept my brother from getting out of the Prison World. I'm guessing you have something to do with that, don't you Tessa?"
I suck my teeth and let out a corsping laugh. I lick my lips before I whip my head over to Qetsiyah and I can see as she takes a visible step back. I take in a big breathe and exhale, trying to calm my nerves.
"Q, you wanna tell us something?"
"Okay! I let Kai out of the Prison World! I wanted to get revenge on you for killing me and when I found out about Kai... I knew I found it." She starts off
"Go on." Stefan says disgustingly
"I knew if he killed enough people, you would come back to town to stop him and I would finally get to kill you and have my revenge but then something changed. I was so happy with Stefan that I tried to put him back but he... he destroyed the ascendant." She finish
"You're telling me that you let my brother out and now we can't put him back all because you wanted revenge when you clearly aren't dead. I can't believe you."
I just stand here, listening as I try to keep my calm. Something that is obviously not happening as I just shake my head at the disbelief.
"Katherine... I'm sorry. It was a mistake... I notice that now."
The moment she says my name... all hell breaks loose. I let out a low growl as I speed over to her and grip her by the neck, lifting her into the air. Her feet dangle a little above the ground as she hits her hands against mine.
"You bring a murderer into the world, take me and Silas away from our daughter, and you're sorry?"
My grip gets tighter as she starts gasping for air, I smile up at her before I'm sped into a wall. I look up to see Damon in front of me and Qetsiyah on the ground, gasping for air with Stefan right by her side.
"Why the hell did you do that?!" I shout, getting up from the ground
"Because Katherine! You can't do these things anymore. Killing Qetsiyah is what got us into this mess in the first place, isn't it?" He questions
"Yes, but-" He cuts me off
"But nothing Katherine. You have a child now, you can't go around killing people. What kind of example is that?"
"You know what, fine! I won't kill her, I'll just make her life a living, breathing hell." I state, looking straight over at her
"Qetsiyah, are you okay?" Stefan asks, helping her up
"Yes." She coughs, rubbing her neck
"Good, because Qetsiyah, we're over. I want you out of my house."
"Stefan..." Elena cuts in
"No, Elena, she has put us and others in jeporady more times than once and I can't be with someone like that, I won't." He explains
I calmly let put a breath and make my ways towards Qetsiyah before Damon tries to stop me. "She'll be fine, I just have one last thing to say." I assure him and he lets me go
"I'm going to say this once, you leave town and if you try to kill me or EVER come back. I will rip your heart out from your chest and this time you'll stay dead."
That is all I say before everyone, including Stefan walk away from Qetsiyah, leaving her in the room.
Completely Alone.
