So to make this quick I won't be following the timeline of The Vampire Diaries since I'm not good with timelines and it might be confusing but of course it will have the same events like Klaus will still find Elena, break his curse etc. Anyway here's Chapter 3

Present time (Mystic Falls)

Alaric's apartment...

3rd person's POV

Klaus in the body of Alaric Saltzman and is in his apartment was drinking his bourbon when heard her arrived. Ofcourse before she could enter the room, Klaus already snapped Katerina's head. Knocking her out for a bit. He don't want anyone to find out about Khalida, especially not the Katerina Petrova who spent 500 years running away after he planned on using her to break his curse. Katerina would pay and her death would last more than the time she spent running away from him.

Khalida, now 17 years old. She was ofcourse homeschooled because Klaus never wanted anyone to find out about his little secret. Also they kept having to move because of his father hunting him so it's better to have her near him. Always.

But ofcourse he couldn't just lock her up. So the girl could go out once in a while as long as she is cloaked and being watched by his followers. Klaus knew that Khalida was aware of this and at first she threw a fit but then she came on terms with it. Growing up, the girl never once gave him a problem.

She was obedient yet strong headed, her powers also seemed to grow stronger as she aged. They never had any sort sibling relationship, Klaus was not one for showing his feelings rather they have a mentor student relationship but to be safe, he did not gave his last name to Khalida.

She was known as Khalida Smith, ofcourse he faked all her documents since he wasn't able to find out her identity other than her name.

"How was your shopping love?" He asked. She put her bag down and sat on the couch beside him.

"Fine, I ran into the Salvatores. More like Damon Salvatore, the man is smirking demon. Quiet annoying. Like a bee buzzing on my ear." She said sounding bored. Khalida saw Katherine's body slumped on the wall, her head on an awkward angle. Klaus probably snapped her neck again.

Poor bitch, she thought. Then again she did ran from Klaus for the last 500 years. A snapped neck is the least of her worries. Klaus saw her staring at Katerina and smirked.

"Don't worry love, she'll wake up soon but I need to snap her neck again before she can see you."

"No, I'm not worried." She snorted. She stood up and walked to the door.

"Call me when you need me." She said before walking out to go to her hotel nearby.

"Be safe love." Klaus called back before she shut the door.

He was getting bored and impatient, which is not good for the hybrid. He needs to get the doppelgänger but before that he needs Greta to put him back in his body. This Alaric guy is just not doing it in for him.

Khalida's Hotel Room...

She removed her shoes and sat in front of vanity, she basically owns many expensive things, Klaus was one for a lavish lifestyle. Giving her money, her own credit cards, expensive clothes, shoes and jewelry. Her own car even.

She grabbed her comb and pull out her pony tail. She ran her fingers through her black hair before brushing it. Ever since she was a child, Klaus took care of her. Tho he never showed her much affections but he did provided her with food and shelter, not to mention a luxurious life. That's more than enough for her.

She stared at her reflection on the mirror, her necklace shone because of the ray of sunlight that's passing through her window. It was a beautiful gold necklace with a circle pendant, filled with diamonds beside it is a gold letter x. She smiled when she remembered how she got it.

Flashback...Valentines Day..New York...

Khalida was only 13 years old.

Klaus and her walked towards the busy city of New York, shopping malls buzzing with music and lights to attract more people, a lot of hearts and red colored figurines around, many couples passed by holding hands while girls held flowers and chocolates in the hands, some have a few shopping bags and wearing fancy clothes as they proceed to their date.

Khalida could not understand what is with women and jewelry, surely she would be robbed if she wore so much. Yet when they passed by a jewelry shop a necklace caught her attention. It was beautiful, "xo" that's what the small pendant looks like, the x is plain gold while the o is filled with diamonds. It was simple yet beautiful.

She couldn't help but walk towards the window. She ignored the people passing by, she was caught on the magnificient piece of jewelry. But she was sadden by the thought that she could not afford it. It must a cost a lot and being with Klaus, she could not demand for he already did a lot for her.

"What's wrong love?" Klaus noticed Khalida stopped walking and saw her staring a the window of a jewelry store.

"It's nothing Klaus. Let's go." She said decisively and pulled him to walk. He didn't say anything but let her pull him away but before Khalida can keep him out, he already saw what she wanted.

He smirked inwardly, the girl is simply amusing he thought. He gave the jewelry store one last look before turning away.

Later that night...

Klaus was leaning over the balcony of their penthouse, holding a wine and a small rectangular box with a pink ribbon on the middle.

"Klaus?" He heard Khalida's footsteps as she called.

"In here love." He put down his wine and held out his hand to the girl. She was wearing a redish pink dress that he bought her earlier.

"Turn around." He whispered softly to the girl. She turned around even tho wanting to question why.

Klaus wrapped his arms around her and held out his gift, she was only reaching by his chest. He heard her gasp when she was the box.

"What's this?" She whispered softly, he smiled even tho she can't see it.

"Well that is for me to know and for you to open and find out sweetheart." He wrapped his arms around her waist as she opened the box.

Khalida was surprised and ecstatic, this was the necklace that she saw earlier.

"I-Is this for me?" She said turning a bit to look up to him.

Klaus smiled,"Only if you want to." She smiled back and eagerly nodded. He took the necklace and put it around her neck.

"Happy Valentines Day, Khalida." He kissed her in the forehead.
