Love in War

Salvadiot

Katherine POV

As the words leave Damon's lips, Stefan vamps to him and swing his fist at him which makes Damon's crumple to the ground in anguish as a moan of pain leaves his lips, staggering backwards into the wall and making an impact with it for the second time that day. But then Stefan breaks down with him and hugs him tightly which seems to be painful because Damon hisses at him.

Good for him, he should feel this pain, what kind of idiot leaves his brother like this? Oh right, Damon Salvatore.

"W-why are you here?" Stefan asks, his voice wobbly as he looks at his brother, eyes shining with fresh tears while Damon looks at him with guilt, "Where is Elena? Is she alright?"

Poor guy, he thinks his brother is here for him but the only thing his brother cares about is Elena, I think as everyone looks down, busy admiring their boring shoes, a quiet silence making the atmosphere tense. "Y-you are not here for me, are you? Elena is missing again isn't she?" Stefan whispers, finally catching on to tense atmosphere around us

"Yes, and I am here to ask for help brother, I had a witch do a locater spell which leads here, a couple of vampires bashed me badly, and now I'm more worried for her," Damon said, pleading Stefan with his eyes, his voice coming out like a beggars who was pleading for a scrap of food, which lead me to believe that Damon really loved Elena, too bad she's missing, "Also, we are in trouble, brother"

"No," Stefan says, his nostrils flaring with anger, "You are in trouble, I have an idiot that keeps me getting in one"

"He's an idiot all right" I snort which leads to me getting glares from Caroline and an amused look from Elijah which makes me blush.

Damn this man, he keeps making me blush

"Ok, we can talk about this later in detail, Stefan and Rebekah, I want you to update Damon on all that is happening in New Orleans and change his clothes while you're at it. Katherine and Elijah you both are with me. Rest of you can do all that you want" Caroline says and I feel Elijah nudge me, a simple question in his eyes, what does she want from us?

"Caroline, what do you want from us?" I ask, getting straight to the point since I really had no time left for idle Chit-Chat even though this was my sister we were talking about.

"Well, you'll have to come with me for that, I'll tell you on the way," She says, a tight smile on her lips which looked fake as hell.

"Caroline, love, do you need me there with you?" Klaus asks, looking like a hopeless puppy with those blue eyes of his, I mean come on, does Caroline not see his desperation for her?

"Sure, I think the more the better, and its a family matter so I think it will be better if two of you are present there," She says, pointing at Elijah and Klaus.

Family Matter? Wait, did she agree to Stefan's proposal?

"Caroline is this about-" I say but she cuts me off with a sharp nod of her head, silently telling me that there were others here who could not be trusted with this information, "Well, then I think we should call Freya with us, after all, she's a Mikealson witch and important"

"Yes, we should, Elijah, you and Katherine along with Klaus should go get Freya while I tend to some other work, I'll text you the location so that you can meet me there soon," She says, probably thinking of how Freya could be useful in the spell.

"What will you be doing then?" I ask her, fully prepared for any outcome, but the one that comes is not the one I was expecting.

"I have children I need to take care of"

******

"Are you sure this is the place?" I ask Elijah as we enter a coffee shop where Freya told us we were going to meet.

"Yes, he's sure Katerina, now would you shut the bloody hell up?" Klaus hisses as Elijah gives him a scolding glare as I show my tongue to him, acting like a spoiled brat was my favourite way to piss Klaus off and boy did it work every time.

"Tell your brat to stop annoying me, Elijah!" Klaus exclaims, his face red with anger, anger at me, his reactions were always my favourite.

"Niklaus, don't call Katerina a brat," Elijah says, ever the gentleman.

Haha, take that sucker I think while looking at Klaus

"And Katerina stop making my brother annoyed" He adds at which I huff and frown, looking around the shop for Freya when I spot her drinking something with a serious expression on her face.

"Freya" Elijah calls out and she turns and smiles at us, a soft smile that only she could give, someone who's been through so much but still looks at the good side of life.

"Caroline called me in advance and told me everything, there is no need for any introductions I hope, let us go, the sooner he comes the better," She says and takes Elijah by the hand walks off, leaving me and Klaus alone to walk after her.

"Is your sister always like that, or is being cryptic a family trait?" I say to Klaus as she looks at me with narrowed eyes, probably contemplating ways to kill me off.

"Shut the bloody hell up," He says and walks away, leaving me alone with nothing but my company and mine alone.

Well, I guess leaving people alone is also their family trait
