Originals: Everything Works Out In The End (Klatherine)

Ch.10: An Old Ex Returns

Aurora De Martel, Klaus' ex fiancee, had just arrived in town, so she went for a visit at the compound. She was ready to seek her revenge on Elijah. She was also ready to try and win Klaus back.

The red-head entered the compound, finding out exactly where they lived, and found more than just Klaus there. She recognized one person to be a doppelganger, so she found it weird that Klaus had yet to kill her.

"Hello, lover. Long time no see," she greeted Klaus.

Klaus hadn't expected to ever see her again, so he was surprised. He hadn't thought about her in quite a long time.

"What are you doing here?" Klaus wanted to know.

Kat didn't know her, so she had to ask, "Anyone want to fill me in?"

"She's his ex that killed herself with Rebekah's blood in her system," Elijah informed her. He left out one thing that was important, though. He didn't think it was time to tell Katerina that he hadn't exactly been the best person during the knight and castle age.

"Lovely," Kat said sarcastically.

"I thought I'd visit your city I heard that you're so fond of," Aurora told Klaus, before standing not too far from the rest of them that were there. Then she looked at the doppelganger. "Oh, but your present love left out one important detail. He compelled me after I let spill that Klaus told me a secret that no one else knew. That he killed their mother. I think it was his first time, but once he knew what he'd done, he didn't undo it. Then he compelled me to say anything to Klaus to make him leave without me. I would've ran with them, but Elijah chose to keep us apart. He ruined our happy ever after."

"You were insane. You still are. You would've ruined everything. I was working to find his redemption, but you always tainted him. You always brought out the worst in him," Elijah defended.

She looked at Elijah.

"That may be so, but there was a time that Klaus loved that about me." She made one quick decision that would hurt Elijah. "Now, I'm going to ruin your happy ever after," she said. Then, in a blur, she had Katherine and was gone, before anyone could stop her.

"Bloody hell!" Rebekah blurted.

Klaus was upset at what Elijah had done back then, but he always wasn't happy at Aurora taking Katerina. He'd grown fond of her in the past year or two that she'd been living with them. She wasn't so bad as a human.

"There's still time. We can catch up with them. She couldn't have gone far," Elijah said, and was about to leave, but Klaus stopped him with a hand on his arm.

"I assure you, we'll find them. She'll have a plan in motion, though. We need our own plan first," Klaus reasoned with him.

Elijah knew he was right, even though he wanted to go after Aurora right now. He didn't want to think of what Aurora was going to do to Katerina. She was human. Magic or not, she couldn't really defend herself against Aurora. She was almost like an Original, considering Rebekah was her sire. That, and because of her age as a vampiress.

Aurora let Katherine go when they were inside what used to be used as a fight club for vampires. It wasn't used anymore, though. When she did, Katherine fell to the cement floor and then looked at her.

"You know, Elijah was right to do what he did. If he hadn't done that, you two would've been happy, but Klaus never would have found his humanity again. You don't really know him anymore," Kat told her.
