Katherine winced as she stepped into the house, the door clicking closed was faint to her ears but she knew that it would be louder to Elijah's. She wasn't ready for this confrontation, and she wasn't ready for the anger that he was sure to have. She wasn't ready for any of this. Running her hand through her hair, she hung her jacket up on the hook beside the door, and slipped her shoes off. She contemplated briefly just going to her room, but she knew that Stefan would be here soon and she needed to talk to Elijah first.
Making her way up the stairs she knocked hesitantly on his bedroom door. She waited, shifting in place, for him to answer. When she heard his voice telling her to enter, she pushed the door open. She swallowed, closing it behind her. Letting out a breath, she licked her lips as she thought about the best way to say this.

Today had not gone like Elijah had hoped it would. Leaving Gia with Marcel whilst he attended to a few things that he needed to do alone without company. Elijah had decided to take a few moments alone to himself for some rest. Even though he was a vampire and did not require physical rest, his mind needed to push things aside to let his mind rest even for a few hours.
With taking responsibility of Gia and Hayley ignoring his calls and his brother causing yet more havoc around the French Quarter, his mother and brothers back. The sudden disappearance of Mikael and Davina. It was impossible to work out which enemy to start with first. Right now it seemed impossible to reunite Hayley with her child, but he had given Hayley his word that no matter what it cost him, they would be reunited.
Draping his long sleeved jacket over his shoulders as he wiped away a trickle of water that slid down his neck, his hair still damp from his shower earlier. Hearing a knock at the door "Enter" he called through as he buttoned up his cuffs on his sleeves. Seeing Katerina enter his room as a slight smirk spread across his face "Katerina. What can I do for you?" he asked tilting his head.
Frowning as he heard her comment, he turned his attention back to his cuffs "And what pray do tell has Niklaus done this time?" he sighed as he finished with his cuffs.

Katherine swallowed. She moved across the room to slowly lower herself into the chair in the far corner. She shifted uncomfortably, and crossed her legs at the knee. Tapping her fingers against her thighs, she let out a breath.
"It...wasn't Niklaus," she inhaled sharply. "It was me."
She waited for that to sink in, waited for him to turn towards her slowly. The distance between them didn't make her feel any better since she knew he could close the distance in less than a second. Picking at the arms of the chair nervously, she swallowed.

"I find it quite hard to believe that Niklaus is not involved in this problem that you speak of Katerina" he smirked slightly amused at the notion that his brother was not involved somehow "Then please do tell" he encouraged her with a flick of his hand. Turning from her as he began fastening the button's on his jacket as dusting himself down. He instantly raised his head when he heard her say that Stefan Salvatore was coming to New Orleans.
Turning slowly to face her as his face turned into a face of confusion "And may I ask how you came by this information Katerina?" he quizzed her.
Elijah was a lenient man when it came to Katerina unlike his brother, having only giving one strict instruction. Not to reveal to anyone outside of New Orleans of her existence.

Katherine could feel her heart beat racing in her chest. She didn't like being afraid of Elijah, but she also knew that the vampire only had so much patience and eventually it would run out. She raised her head, meeting his eyes.
"I called him," she spoke. She swallowed, and shrugged slightly. "I told you no secrets...and I'm keeping that promise for you."
Which she hoped would at least curb some of his anger. She tried to keep her breathing calm, even as her finger tapped faster against the arm of the chair as her nervousness rose.

"I see" he replied calmly. Letting out a soft sigh as he raised his eyes to meet hers as he turned from her for a few moments as he evaluated this information. Turning back around slowly as one hand dipped into his jacket pocket and the other draped by his side
"And did I not get you precise instructions Katerina that you were to contact no one?" he questioned her.
He turned from her again as he moved across his room towards a closet to the mirror as he fixed himself presentably. "I merely ask for you co-operation Katerina. I promise to protect you but how can I when you desire the thrill that comes with defying me and my orders" he spoke calmly as he craned his head over his shoulder.

Katherine stood up, threading her fingers together. She walked over to him slowly, reaching up to rub her thumb against her own lip. She lowered her head, letting out a harsh breath. She raised her hands slightly and then dropped them to her side.
"What do you want me to say, Elijah? That...I felt the need to be vindictive and a bitch and shove it in Stefan's face that he failed to kill me?" She paused, and then nodded her head. "I'll admit it. I needed to hear the pain and aggravation in his voice."
She sighed and then reached up to bat his hands away from his collar. She tilted her head slightly, adjusting his collar correctly.

His hands were batted away as he arched his brow in frustration as he let his arms drape at his side. Waiting until she had finished he took a step away from her. Elijah had not asked much of Katerina, only that she was to keep her existence quiet, the last thing that he needed was more of her past enemies added to the list. "I do not particularly care for the Salvatore brothers Katerina. But what I do care for is that you defied my one command" he paused as he turned away from her.
Running his hand across his face as he ignored his phone buzzing in his pocket knowing that it would of course be Marcel. Reaching into his pocket he hit the ignore button for now. "Well you should do well to remember next time not to mention me again Katerina" he warned her.
Letting out a sigh as he tried to control his anger as he turned briefly to her "So you felt the need to taunt a man who lost his brother. When you yourself lost a child? . When you know the pain that is brings you sought out to cause more pain. So enlighten me Katerina, should anything happen to my brother. Would you feel the need to taunt me?" he quizzed her.
Seeing her take a step forward towards him, he held up is hand to stop her.

Katherine crossed her arms over her chest as he stepped away from her, she rolled her as at his back. He didn't care for the Salvatore boys because she had had an infatuation with them--more importantly she had fallen for Stefan. Fallen for him because he reminded her just a little of what she had lost when Elijah had left her on that bridge in Italy.
She chewed on her lower lip as he berated her for mentioning him. She was suddenly feeling like she couldn't do anything right, it wasn't a feeling she liked. She rubbed her hands along her arms, tilting her head away from him so she wasn't looking directly at him. She frowned as began to question her, turning her head back to look at him.
She started to move towards him, and then stopped as he raised a hand to stop her. She swallowed, and looked away again. Would she? No. She loved him. But hadn't she loved Stefan as well? But that was before he had killed her, all to save his precious Elena. Now she could care less about Stefan and any pain that he may be in.
"I..." She shook her head slowly, refusing to look at him. "I don't know what you want me to say...Does it make it better if I say no? Or would you even believe me?"
She looked at him finally, shaking her head in frustration and loss. She let out a harsh breath.
"Tell me what you need to hear because I don't know anymore. I don't know , Elijah."

Elijah wished that he had all the answers, but he didn't. In over a thousand years he was still learning new things everyday. "Why would I dictate to you what I require to hear Katerina? When all that comes out of your mouth is a fabrication of what I desire to hear" he paused.
Turning from her as he felt a disappointment in himself for believing that she could change, that maybe his brother giving her a chance at human survival that she would change. But he was wrong. Turning back to face her as he pushed all emotion to the side, his face not showing anything. "Did you expect some gratitude for telling me of your betrayal? That I would be thankful?" he quizzed her "That I would let it drop? That whilst I fight a war against my parents and the witches, that I have to fight against you also?" he exhausted his voice to the point of frustration. "You do not make things easy for me Katerina. That I stand against my brother, my family to protect you. That you blame me for not standing by your side in the beginning. Very well you have exceeded your punishment. Or shall there be more?" he ended.
Elijah was not sure how much more he could take of this, he was already struggling enough as it was to keep a level head.

Katherine shook her head slowly. Her hands clenched at her side as she fought with the impulses that were running through her. She reached up suddenly, jerking her necklace--the one infused with vervain--from her neck. She tossed it onto the floor. She moved forward suddenly, slamming her hands against his chest.
"You think I'm trying to punish you?" She snapped. She slammed her hands against him again. "I told you because I made a promise not to keep secrets from you. I never promised to not contact Stefan, Elijah. I have done everything that I promised to do."
She swallowed, and curled her fingers with a frustrated cry, and slammed her hands against him again.
"Five hundered years, Elijah...do you honestly think that a few weeks I'm just...just going to be able to change?"

Elijah stood firm as her she slammed her hands against his chest, grabbing her wrist her held it firm "You promised Katerina, to keep your existence secret, an agreement that we made" he reminded her. Elijah couldn't fight everyone that threatened his family and the endless list of Katerina's enemies that would soon find out that she was alive once again "A few weeks may be all that you have left Katerina if you insist on breaking my rules" he snapped sternly at her.
Turning from her as he moved across the room, ignoring that fact that she had removed her vervain necklace from her possession. It was taking everything inside him to remain calm. Niklaus would just love to hear that Stefan Salvatore was coming to New Orleans, another enemy to add to the list.
"You gave me your word that you would follow my instruction. But yet you seem to enjoy testing my patience Katerina. I stand against my parents who posses a weapon that can kill me. Yet you do not seem to care for, another distraction on his way to New Orleans Katerina" he reminded her.

Katherine let out a frustrated noise akin to a growl, and glared at his back. She ground her teeth together until they hurt.
"Why do you do that?" She hissed. "Everytime we argue you always say I don't care!"
She knew that he was angry. He was keeping it bottled up, and he needed to let it out before he exploded. She swallowed, and then moved over to him.
"I care, Elijah. But I wished to God that I didn't because nothing I do ever seems to be good enough for you."
Katherine licked her lips, and let out a harsh breath. She tilted her head, stepping up to him as anger blazed in her eyes.
"Is that what I am to you? A distraction? A burden? What am I to you Elijah?" She was impulsively spouting out her thoughts at this point, quite aware she was balancing on the edge.
"Do you want me to leave? Or do you wish Davina had left me dead that way you could forget about me?"
Post by Elijah Mikaelson on Oct 26, 2014 5:53:33 GMT -6
Elijah turned to face her "Do not turn this back on me Katerina. It was your choice to contact the Salvatore, it was your choice to defy me. It was your choice to come with me. You see, you desire the choice Katerina. But yet you choose the choice that does not only affect yourself me myself included!" he snapped back at her.
Elijah could already feel himself brewing with anger and as much as he tried to contain it, it had slowly began to seep through the cracks.
"And never once have I saw you as a distraction Katerina. Please refrain from putting words into my mouth. Have I ever expressed what you are?" he paused for a moment before cutting her off as she spoke "I gave you my vow that I would protect you, but why do you defy me Katerina?" he quizzed her.

"You didn't answer me," she said low. She took a step forward, closing the distance between them a little at a time until she was literally brushing against him with every breath she took. She brought a hand up to press a finger against his chest.
"You vowed to protect me, Elijah...but that doesn't mean much. Because that is what you do...you protect people. The one trait that your vampiric nature latched onto and made better. I defy you? Because it's what I know. And I'm scared of going outside that norm when I have no idea what awaits me on the other side."
Katherine narrowed her eyes at him. Locks of her hair fell into her face, causing her to blink a few times, but she didn't move to brush them away.
"So I will ask you again, Elijah..." She spoke. "What am I to you?"
