Katherine Pierce Imagines

My Word

"This must be the girl you're all pinning over." You grumbled as you strode over to Elijah and Katherine as Klaus stomped off in a mood.

"Sister?" Elijah said carefully, hoping you would keep your spitfire temper in check and provide your charming character instead.

"Sister? There is another one of you?" Katherine asked flirtatiously. When she turned her breath caught in her throat. If your siblings were beautiful then Katherine would be doing you a dishonour to say you were anything short of perfection.

"Really Elijah?" You said with an eye roll as you realised why Katherine's face was so familiar.

"It is my extreme pleasure to meet you... Katherine and you are?" She asked as she shoved her hand out for you to shake politely. She pulled it back to play with her skirt when you gave her hand an assessing look of displeasure and looked at Elijah before flashing a dazzling smile.

"The pleasure is all yours, I am sure." You said with a sharp twist to your words. Katherine's smitten smile fell and while you strolled onward through the garden believing you'd defeated her adoration, she fixed you with a determined look, straightened her skirt and huffed as she turned and pouted to Elijah who had to stop himself rolling his eyes.

"She does not enjoy my company?" She said sweetly and Elijah chuckled as he fiddled with his cuff.

"I am most sure she does and will. My sister is not one to be so delighted by a pretty face." Elijah muttered, smiling when Katherine clasped her hands together and smiled as if he had just set before her the world's greatest challenge. Of course she would seduce you, win you over and enchant you. It was just her way! With a polite curtsy she left Elijah, plans to capture you already rushing through her mind.

"You must go!" You instead. Katherine folded her arms as she shook her head, watching you pack a trunk for her. "I've completed the carriage driver, he won't stop until you're far away enough that Klaus will have to hunt you down."

"I will not go! I won't leave you to his temper." She insisted as she rounded the bed you'd set her trunk on as you snapped the straps together.

"I am the favoured sister. I will be spared, as long as he does not find out about..." You trailed off and sighed.

"As long as he does not know that you love me and have helped me flee. Exactly why I will not let you help me run!" She snapped and glanced at the door when shouting could be heard.

You rushed her to the next room and opened one of the windows. "You can climb down from here. There is a friend of mine that will help you get to a cabin in the woods. I'll come for you and help you, I give you my word. I've had enough of Niklaus." You admitted and she smiled, kissing you sweetly before nodding and agreeing as the door to the room burst open.

Stepping back in you glanced at Elijah who was looking testy. "Is there something you want brother?"

"Well I would like to know where Katherine has gone." Klaus snapped, grabbing the trunk on your bed and tearing it open. "You wouldn't happen to know where she is?"

"Why would I?" You said coldly, glaring at Niklaus who smirked.

"Well sister lets not lie about the fact that the doppelganger captured your heart. Is there anything you wouldn't do for her?" He asked carefully. When you rolled your eyes and sighed, trying to push past Klaus you felt something stable at your chest, with a gasp you had just enough time to glance at the dagger in your chest before collapsing into Klaus' waiting arms.

*****************************************

"You're too late." Kathrine hissed as she glared up at Klaus. "I'm like you now. Any minute (Y/N) will be here and we'll leave together."

"I doubt that." Klaus said, grandstanding as he glanced behind him at Elijah who was waiting patiently, hoping he could convince Klaus to undagger you. Katherine took the chance to move further away, at least she could attempt at a head start when she fled. "(Y/N) will not be seeing you for a while."

"What?" Katherine said in almost a whisper. You'd promised you'd come for her, surly that meant you would find her, you wanted to be free from your siblings. Or so you'd said.

"Niklaus, this is a new shade of cruelty." Elijah said gently, hoping Klaus wouldn't finish the doubt in you he was setting out for Katherine.

"Why lie to her Elijah. She won't be coming for Katherine, not for a very long time, if ever. I am sure she is coming to her senses as we speak, why would she leave her family for you?" Klaus turned to look at Katherine who had tears streaming down her cheeks.

Klaus grinning, assuming she'd given in, his revenge started there. But something told Katherine it wasn't right. You'd promised, given your word to find her and she had never seen your break it. Rebekah swore that your word was an oath, unbreakable. As she turned and fled she decided she would never forgive you for not coming, but something deep inside her made her swear to wait and never love again. For when you came for her and kept your promise.
