Trapped (Katherine, Void Stiles, Kai)

One More Gone

Katherine thought back to the explanation Stiles had given her before he had killed the Dread Doctors, she was just itching to try it out herself.

The spell Marcos was asking his ancestors to help him with, was a life force draining spell, when you kill someone you take their power and strength as your own. It's similar to when we take peoples pain and convert that to our own strength yet this is quicker and happens the instant someone dies, their abilities and life force adds on to your own power. Marcos was likely planning to kill us one at a time, becoming powerful enough to overcome the prison.

So they all could become stronger as they killed someone. Katherine eagerly thought about Klaus, could she...take an originals power? It felt too good to be true!

Stiles had smiled and said darkly "And we think we know who to target next. You can have the honours this time"

Katherine couldn't stop her own dark smile crossing her face as she asked "Who?"

Kate knew she couldn't avoid Peter forever. Though she had backed off due to Kai, it had made her wonder who wanted to kill Peter more than she did? Maybe they could team up?

Even though she had backed off, it was clear Peter had not. He had followed her to one of the more spacious living rooms and looked inching for a fight.

Kate withheld a smirk, well it wasn't her fault if whoever wanted to kill Peter didn't get there first now was it?

She was confident with her abilities she could take him down.

Peter sneered his eyes flaring blue "I believe we got of on the wrong start"

"Did we?" Kate asked, a nasty look crossing her face as she turned around to watch him to stalk towards her, getting herself ready.

She felt her features transform into that of a were jaguar.

"Yes, I should have started by ripping your head off!" Peter growled as he lunged at her, his hands aiming for her throat.

She ducked under his hand and tried to use her claws to rip his stomach open however he managed to dodge back in time.

She used this advantage to leap at him, flinging all her body weight and supernatural strength, sending Peter toppling to the floor. She growled as she raised her hand, her claws ready to strike "Time to see your family"

Bringing her claws across his throat and watching as the life left his eyes or at least that's how it was supposed to go.

Instead she found herself falling to the ground, her body not following her orders but wait... wasn't her own body over there, still lying on Peter?

Yet what was she doing over here?

It's just it looked strange.

There was no...

Kate's thoughts faded into darkness.

Peter's face splattered with blood as he let out a gasp of shock. He had been sure he was about to die yet here he was, alive and staring at the vampire Katherine, who's hands were bloodied.

He moved the body of Kate of himself as he tried to process what had just happened but then something else surprising happened.

Katherine eyes turned a different colour, a bright glowing green, quite different to the vampire eyes she had seconds ago.

She grinned as she said "Yes, this does feel amazing, you were right Stiles"

This new power flooding her veins was addicting. She just wanted more.

"Of course we were" Stiles was leaning against the door watching them.

The way he was looking at Peter strangely made him feel unsettled.

Peter frowned, why hadn't he sensed Stiles approach and also what the hell was going on?

"I assume there's a reason why your eyes are glowing like that?" Peter asked, his voice strained.

He should be thankful that she has saved him or perhaps angry that he wasn't the one to kill Kate but all he felt was...nerves.

Why was he so nervous?!

No, not nervous, it was more than that.

He felt like he was still facing Kate's raised claws, ready to cut his neck open.

His heart was thudding hard in his chest and his palms were sweaty.

Katherine smirked as she said sounding gleeful "I absorbed her power, when we kill someone we absorb their power, that's what that spell did"

Peter's eyes widened at the news, they could do that?

"Then we might be able to break free of the prison" He said, thinking about what that could mean.

Stiles gave a small nod but his smile and his words made something inside Peter freeze.

"Then we might be able to break free of the prison, we? There is no we but you've probably already assumed that or why else would you still be fearing for your life?"

Stiles smile widened, becoming something darker and more predatory as he added "Quite correctly I'm afraid little wolf"
