Sleeping Beauty- Klaus Mikaelson

39 -2x16

Eira woke up in the morning fully rejuvenated. She got dressed and went downstairs. Elena had stayed the night last night in one of the spare bedrooms because it was late at night and she didn't want to go home and disturb Jenna. Eira got down the stairs and saw Damon holding Katherine in a choke hold with Rose watching. Kat was wearing a scarf and a tan jacket.

Stefan came down the stairs and looked at the scene that was happening, confused. Elena also walked down the stairs and the brothers looked back and forth between Elena and Katherine trying to figure out who was who.

"Obviously, this is Katherine," Eira stated walking over to the doppelgänger that wore a scarf.

"At least someone can tell who's who between us," Katherine smirked at Elena. "It's getting really easy being you."

Elena glared at Katherine,"What is she doing here?"

"When we killed Elijah, it broke the compulsion and freed the bitch from the tomb," Damon explained.

"How's that possible?" Stefan questioned.

"He's an Original. They have all sorts of special skills," Katherine said.

"I don't want you here. Get her out of here," Elena glared.

"You don't get to make decisions, Elena, about who stays here. This isn't your house. She's staying," Eira glared back and Katherine smiled.

"You need me, Elena. You all do," Katherine started.

"Like hell," Stefan disagreed.

"We all want the same thing...Klaus dead. Yet here you all are, running around like chickens with their heads cut off," Katherine said.

"I don't need your help and I don't want it," Elena kept glaring.

"And that's incredibly stupid of you. Do you know where Klaus is? When he's coming, what he looks like?" Katherine questioned to make her point.

"If you know something, say it or get out," Damon said.

"Fine. Then I'll just go to the Grill and have some lunch...maybe Aunt Jenna's free for a bite," Katherine threatened so she could have her way.

Stefan drove Eira to school while Elena took her car. Stefan and Elena parked next to each other and they all got out and walked to the school together.

"Why do we have to come back here? I've missed a lot already," Eira grumbled.

"What kind of brother would I be if I didn't make my sister get an education?" Stefan questioned, teasing.

"A good one," Eira answered causing Stefan and Elena to laugh.

"Why is she still here? She was free," Elena questioned, switching the topic to Katherine.

"She wants what we want...Klaus dead. Maybe she sees us as her only chance," Stefan suggested.

"Or maybe she's trying to lure you and Damon back into her web. I want her gone," Elena demanded.

"So do I. But you're right, she stayed. Shouldn't we at least try to figure out why?" Stefan said.

"How? All she does is lie," Elena stated.
