Burn - N.M & E.M

Chapter 25

When Chelsea wakes up that morning, three words are being whispered in her head over and over again, School, power, violence. It sets her on edge. Something bad is going to happen and she has no idea what it could be. She knows it's going to happen at the school and that it's going to be violent but what the hell does power mean.

Are they spirits saying that she will kill someone with her power? Or that Bonnie will kill someone with her recent power boost? But the whispers have always been warnings. So does that mean that she and/or Bonnie are going to die. But then again Klaus is viewed as powerful. Maybe it's telling her that Klaus will be at the school.

God, she wishes the spirits were more direct with their messages, Chelsea thinks as she gets up, to get dressed and head over to the Salvatore's.

Klaus opens the closet and removes to shirts to show to his prisoner.

"Oh! Who is this guy, Safari Sam?" Klaus asks as he looks at the dreadfully dull shirts. "Okay, bad or badder?"

"The dark colours suit you better." Katerina answers, the fear in her voice bringing a smile to his face.

"Oh, thank you, honey. Okay, pop quiz. The dagger and the white ash are in the Salvatore's possession, correct?" Klaus questions.

"The dagger was used to kill Elijah. You'll find him in the basement of the Salvatore house." Katerina informs him as he puts on the shirt.

"Okay, that dagger needs to stay exactly where it is. The last thing I need to do is resurrect Elijah. Oh, that guy is a buzzkill." Klaus moans.

"Don't forget you're on the outs with your girlfriend Jenna." Katerina reminds.

"Right. Elena's aunt. For all the lies about Isobel. What else?" Klaus asks his prisoner.

"That's it." Katerina lies to his face.

Klaus walks over and directs her head to face him causing her to jump.

"Oh, so jumpy." Klaus mocks, smirk plastered on his face.

"Please, just...kill me. I've told you everything that I know." Katerina's begging is like music to his ears, but the lying will have to go.

"Katerina, Katerina. Why are you lying to me?" Klaus asks, with a mock disappointed look on his...Alaric's face.

"I'm not..." Klaus pulls Katerina's head back by her hair causing the doppelganger to groan in pain.

"Katerina. What are you keeping from me?" Klaus compels, looking directly into her eyes.

"Chelsea, she is the girl in your paintings. She is also the girl from Elijah's poems." Katerina answers causing Klaus to let go of her in shock.

He has been looking for the girl, his match for a thousand years and now she is in his grasp...and she also happens to be Elijah's match. Impossible. Katerina must be mistaken after all it's been 500 years since she's seen Elijah's poems. There is no way the world would be so cruel as to make him have to share with his brother.

Klaus finds himself laughing cruelly as he looks at Katerina, to hide his previous shock.

"Anything else? Anything that why wouldn't tell you? What could they be keeping from you? Hmm? Tell me." Klaus compels.

"They were trying to see if Bonnie could find a way to kill an original without a dagger." Katerina tells him monotone.

"Bonnie the best friend? I thought you said she didn't have her powers anymore." Klaus inquires.

"She doesn't or didn't. I don't know. You kidnapped me, remember? I'm kinda out of the loop." Katerina huffs.

"Well, we'll have to get to the bottom of that." Klaus states.
