He'd had a lot to deal with in the last twenty four hours and when Katherine didn't respond to his text, he wondered what she had gotten herself into again. Opening his phone, he saw there was a few missed called and a voicemail. As he listened to the voicemail, his grip tightened on the phone and he saw red. His annoyance level had shot through the roof.
Katherine was doing what she did best--running.
He found her contact information and hit the dial icon, listening as the phone began to ring. Walking through the small crowds near the Quarter, he waited for her to pick up.

Katherine sighed softly, flipping through the magazine as she waited for her next flight. Her plane had landed in London an hour ago, and she had four more hours until the next plane arrived to take her to her final destination.
Her flipping paused briefly as her phone begin to ring. As soon as she arrived in Bulgaria she intended to drop this phone and get a new one. Putting the magazine down she dug her phone from her bag. She hesitated when she saw who it was. She didn't answer. The second call made her chew on her bottom lip, and still she didn't answer. Finally, on the third call, she did.

She finally picked up after the third call he placed to her. "A little birdy on a voice mail told me that you were leaving. Define leaving. Going back to hell? Leaving the city? The state? The country?" His anger was evident in his clipped tone.
He grumbled and shook his head, "I don't know what you want from me, Katherine. I offer you protection and you just do what you do best-- you run. Whatever it is between you and Elijah, set it aside because now is not the time for this petty miniscule games. Where are you?" He asked in a demanding voice.

Katherine winced slightly, rolling her eyes. She let out a breath, and licked her lips. Letting her fingers trail along the back of the chair she was sitting in, she tilted her head.
"I don't want anything from you, Klaus. I told you that when Esther was dealt with I was leaving. She has been, and so I left. What is between Elijah and myself has also been dealt with, you won't have to worry about that any longer."
She paused, flicking her eyes up, and smiled faintly.
"As for where I am at? That is for me to know and you not to find out."

"Damn it, Katherine!" He stopped walking and looked around, his hand on the phone as he pursed his lips in annoyance with her. He closed his eyes and tried to calm down, "Fine. If you wish to leave then it is your own prerogative. If I hear that you have breathed one word, Katherine...one word about..." his voice went lower and said through clenched teeth, "My daughter, I will have your head on a pike!" he threatened her but meant every single word. She was a stubborn woman and convincing her to do something that she didn't want to without compulsion would be nearly impossible.

Katherine swallowed, looking away from the phone for a moment. She knew he meant every word he spoke. She licked her lips, and then sighed.
"Niklaus...I don't blame you for keeping her from me," she spoke. "Trust is a hard thing to earn, especially after 500 years. I left to protect her...Elijah...you. I'm the doppelganger, Niklaus. People will use me against you...if they can find me. You know how good I am at hiding.".

"I could have protected you, Katherine." His thoughts ceased for a moment and he realized something. Elijah and Hayley were with Hope...and they would easily be found and then Hope would be in danger. With Rebekah missing, he needed someone to ensure the safety of his daughter was kept and that her existence remained hidden.
"Katherine....I need you. I...you are her only chance right now." He closed his eyes, unbelieving that he was actually saying this. He tightened his jaw and couldn't believe he was going to ask this. Fighting back the tears from the pain, he finally spoke. "Take Hope with you."

Katherine felt everything come to a screeching halt at his request. Her mouth came open, and then closed. She swallowed, shaking her head slightly. Did he really just ask her to take his daughter with her?
"Nik," she said softly. She swallowed again, and stood up to press her hand against her forehead. She let out a breath.
"I'm already out of the States, I..." She frowned. Letting out a breath, she shook her head.

"I can give you the address, explain to Elijah my request. I cannot leave her there nor can I leave her to fend for herself. Rebekah is missing and until I locate her in a new body there is no one to take Hope and keep her hidden. You said it yourself, you are great at hiding." He walked into a nearby alley for privacy and placed his hand upon the brick of a building. "Katherine...there is no one else. And you are the only one I...trust. Do not let me down. Not this time. Please." His request was out of left field and shocked even him but at all costs Hope had to remain hidden.

Katherine's brows went up. Rebekah was missing? Well that wasn't good. She let out a breath, and rubbed a hand against her forehead. She froze at his next words, and her eyea widened. She let out another breath.
"Tell Elijah...tell Elijah to bring her to me. Tell him...tell him that I've went back. He'll know what it means. I'll set up a safe house...I'll keep her safe, Niklaus...I swear it."
She chewed on her lower lip, and then raised her head to rub at the back of her neck.
"I'll keep this phone until I have her and then I'll get rid of it. You...you won't be able to get a hold of me. I'll disappear, Klaus..."

He listened and closed his eyes, finally nodding before answering with a strained voice. "Done. But I will need a way to contact you when this is over. I need to know you are both safe. I need you to check in periodically or I'll go mad, Katherine. I'll inform Elijah of the new plan and have him meet you. I don't care where you go just...be able to come back in a rush if you need to. Keep on the move, watch for signs that my mother is near. Do not trust anyone." He began listing tips and knew that she knew a lot about remaining on the run.
He closed his eyes and the pain was evident in his voice. "Katherine...please do not let anything happen to her. She...she's my little girl." He was vulnerable for the first time in quite a while but he couldn't stop thinking of her sweet little smile and the way she squeezed his thumb when he bounced her.

Katherine nodded her head slightly. Licking her lips, her hand tightened around her phone. Her heart was actually breaking for Niklaus right now. The pain in his voice mirroring the pain she had felt once when Nadia had been taken from her, and then once again when she had watched her child die.
"I promise, Niklaus. I will keep her safe. No one will touch your child. I promise."
She swallowed, closing her eyes tightly. She had wanted to leave, and yet here she was volunteering to watch a child.

He nodded and inhaled slowly as he tried to let it all sink in. His daughter would be safe, his Hope would be saved and he could sleep easier knowing that. "Thank you." He silently prayed she would not let him down. He was putting all of his trust into her for this one thing. Going all in and risking it all in order to keep his daughter out of harms way. But was he giving her right to harm itself?
He pushed it from his mind and straightened himself, wiping the back of his hand against his eyes. "I'll send you the information and Elijah will be in touch. Minimal contact is necessary now. Good Bye Katherine..." He said softly before ending the call and looking at the phone. What had he done?
