Forbidden (Klaus Mikaelson Love Story) #1 in the Forbidden series

Chapter 8

I stood with Damon. In the backyard of the Mayors house and watched as acrobats did tricks for masked onlookers while fire eaters did their own tricks, "remind me what this is for again?" I asked fiddling with the hem of my too short dress, the loud music threatened to drown me out but I knew my brother had heard me.

"It's for this feed-something charity" Damon replied with a shrug as he scanned the crowd for our fake Elena to show up, we knew that Elena was at home helping Jenna after her surgery, apparently Katherine had compelled Jenna to stab herself to prove a point and luckily for Elena and her younger brother Jeremy they didn't have to bury one of their last remaining relatives because Jenna was a terrible shot and missed anything vital.

"So it's an excuse for the town to get drunk and pretend they're good people" I stated as a couple wobbled past us drunkenly with cocktails in their hands, when the mayor said open bar she wasn't lying.

Damon's eyes also trailed after the couple who were slowly making their way down the stone steps "yep" he said popping the P.

"I need a drink" I turned on my thin 6 inch heel and stalked off to find a bar, our plan was already in motion, and now I just needed to be in place and make sure it all went smoothly, tonight Katherine would be dead and I would have the moonstone in my hands.

~Later~

Damon, Stefan and I stood in an empty guest bedroom in the upstairs of the Mayors house, we'd planted Caroline to lead Katherine up here and made sure Elena's witch friend Bonnie had used a spell to lock us in the room, no one was going to come out of the room until Katherine was dead and desiccated on the floor, I had yet to meet this witch but if what Damon had told me was true she was the descendant of a very powerful line, and one of them used to serve Katherine until she had her unfairly killed after she'd killed me.

Damon decided that he was going to hid in the closet when Katherine came into the room, while I chose to just lean against the wall and Stefan thought it was ingenious to hide in the bathroom, ready to pop out when Katherine walked in, all three of us were armed with stakes, sharpened to perfection by yours truly.

So we waited not making a sound, and when we heard Caroline whimper and Katherine mutter a threat we knew it was go time, Katherine slammed open the doors to the room, expecting to see my brothers waiting for her but it was just me, grinning like a cat who'd caught the canary, luckily for Caroline as soon as Katherine stepped over the threshold of the room she released Caroline's hair, which she'd had a death grip on "where are your brothers?" She demanded, clearly unfazed by my smirk, her attention moved from me to Caroline who stood at the doorframe laughing, her fake tears were gone and she was looking very pleased with herself.

"I did it" Caroline laughed looking at me with pride clear on her face for tricking the slippery bitch that had turned her into a vampire because she wanted to play a game with my brothers "I didn't think I could do it, I didn't think I could fool you but I did it" Caroline giggled again and Katherine, probably hating the fact that vampire barbie was laughing at her ran forward but was forced back by the sealing spell.

"What the...?" Katherine tried to get the blonde again but was stopped by the invisible force field "Stefan?" She looked at him as he emerged out of the other room with a stake in his hand, I twirled mine in my hand and smiled at her sweetly, just imagining all the different way I could kill her, sure Klaus would be pissed for a while but he'd forgive me.

"Hello Katherine" I said I'm mock sweetness using the same tone I had when I was human, I'd decided after I'd seen her play my brothers off against each other that I was going to irritate her with kindness, her witch Emily had given me the idea because she too hated Katherine with a vengeance and wanted to be rid of the bitch.
