Holly's POV

Katherine is tied to a chair as Klaus goes through Alaric's closet. I'm on the couch doing my nails for tonight. "Who is this guy, Safari Sam?" Klaus asks as he shows us two shirts. "Bad or badder?" he asks holding up the dark shirt then the checkered one.

"The dark colors suit you better" Katherine tells him.

"Oh, thank you, honey. Okay, pop quiz. The dagger and white ash are in the Salvatores' possession, correct?" Klaus asks us.

"The dagger was used to kill Elijah" Katherine tells him.

"You'll find him in the Salvatore's basement" I add.

"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 states as he puts on a jacket.

"Don't forget you're on the outs with your girlfriend Jenna" I tell him.

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

"That's it" Katherine tells him. He gets closer to her and touches her face. She seems afraid.

"Oh, so jumpy" he says smirking.

"Please, just...kill me. I've told you everything that I know" Katherine pleads. Klaus puts his hands on the armrests on Katherine's chair and looks her in the face.

"You see, I believe that you believe that, but what would you not know? What could they be keeping from you? Hmm? Anything? Tell me" he tells her.

"They were trying to see if Bonnie could find a way to kill an Original without a dagger" I tell him and blow on my nails gently.

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

"She doesn't or didn't. I don't know. You kidnapped me, remember?" Katherine tells him.

"And I've been here since then, so I'm kinda out of the loop" I add.

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

"Please, just kill me, Klaus, and be done with it" Katherine pleads again. If she wants to die so bad, she can die. But Klaus won't kill her until he's had his revenge.

"And show you kindness? I've searched for you for over 500 years. Your death is going to last at least half that long" Klaus tells her. He takes a single-blade pocketknife from his pocket, opens it, and holds it out to Katherine. " I want you to take this knife...And stab yourself" he says compelling her. She takes the knife and stabs her thigh. "Now take it out" he instructs.

She does so and the wound heals as she wipes the blood off of her thigh. "Now while I'm gone, I want you to do that over and over and over again and if you get bored, switch legs" he tells her. He then starts to leave.

"Where are you going?" I ask him.

"I'm gonna go lay eyes on my precious doppelgänger" he states. "Stay with Katerina, make sure she doesn't try to leave" he tells me. He kisses my forehead and looks at Katherine. "Oh, don't look so glum, Katerina. The fun is just beginning. Again" he says as he leaves and Katherine stabs herself again.

I get back to my nails. "How can you let him do this to me?" she asks me as she removes the knife.

"He is an original, I can't and won't challenge him" I tell her. "Even for blood family" I state. I finish my nails as she continues to stab her thighs. Soon Maddox arrives with my dress and I smile. "Thank you" I say accepting it, just then Klaus returns. "What's the verdict?" I ask him.
