KLAUS MIKAELSON, WHO WORE ALARIC SALTZMAN'S SKIN, OPENED THE CLOSET TAKING OUT TWO SHIRTS IN THE PROCESS. The Original in disguise held up the shirts with distaste.

"Oh! Who is this guy, Safari Sam?" He spun around and showed the shirts to the two women. "Okay, bad, or badder?"

Katherine, who was tied down to the chair she sat in pursed her lips and flipped her hair from out of her face.

"The dark colors suit you better."

She complimented. Zakiyah, who sat on the arm reat of Katherine's chair chuckled dryly. She shook her head, lips quirking into a mischievous smile. It made Katherine's heart flutter. She still couldn't believe that her Zakiyah was alive, much less being eerily. . . calm.

"Oh, thank you, honey."

Putting the shirts away, Klaus clapped his hands together and rubbed them.

Katherine flinched in her seat at the sound. Zakiyah leaned into Katherine, her presence unnerving just as it was missed.

Zakiyah, whose lips brushed against Katherine's earlobe whispered, "Don't be afraid, my love. He won't hurt you. . . yet."

Katherine froze just as Klaus cleared his throat.

"Okay, pop quiz. The dagger and white ash are in the Salvatores' possession, correct?"

Clearly rattled, Katherine's leg began to bounce. She was trying to steady her uneven breathing.

Zakiyah, what are you doing to me?

"The dagger was used to kill Elijah. You'll find him in the basement of the Salvatore house."

"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."

"Oh, don't be so mean, Nik," Zakiyah pouted. She stood from her position and went around the chair to stand behind Katherine. She placed her hands on the back of the chair and giggled. "'Lijah is the sweet one."

"Only because in his eyes you can do no wrong, love," Klaus shot back with a wicked grin beginning to take over. "Though, it is I that truly knows just how devilish you can be is it not?"
