"You came to bribe me? What is it that you want," Katherine wondered.

Elena answered her simply, "I want you to tell me about Klaus."

Speaking up holding out the picture she had taken from the vampire who had taken her and Elena, "And, I wanna know why that guy Elijah and this mystery dude Klaus have been handing these out."

Impressed that they had figured any of this out so soon Katherine tilted her head humming, "You've been busy, found her and discovered Klaus exist."

"We also brought you this," Elena said taking out the Petrova family book she had discovered, "It's your family history. It says in here that the family line ended with you. Obviously that's not true."

Katherine snidely asked her, "You think that if you brought me some family keepsake then I'd open up?"

"No," Rowan answered her voice flat and annoyed, "But from what I have heard about vampires I did think this would." Reaching into the bag she pulled out a bottle of blood showing it to Katherine, "You gonna open up now?"

Katherine rushed over trying to get it but was easily stopped because of the barrier spell. Elena began to taunt asking, "How long before your body shuts down? 10, 20 years? It must be painful to desiccate and mummify. I can't even imagine."

Giving in Katherine slid down on the floor sitting down. Elena opened the bottle putting some blood in a small plastic cup using a stick to slide it over to her as Rowan sat down next to her.

Picking up the cup she said, "You have the Petrova fire."

"More blood," Elena offered up. Katherine put the glass on the floor this time the older sister pulled it back towards them refilling it.

Katherine began to explain saying, "It's a long story, Klaus and I. it was all the way back to England, 1492, after I left Bulgaria or I was thrown out."

Curiously as she slid the cup back over Elena questioned, "Thrown out?"

Explaining herself Katherine informed, "My family, your true ancestors, they disowned me. My indiscretions were not tolerated at that time. I had a baby at a Winlock. A shame."

"It was kept secret," Rowan inquired.

Katherine nodded, "My baby was given away. I was banished to England I had to learn to adjust so I quickly became English. It was there that I caught the eye of a noble man name Klaus. I was taking with him at first until I found out what he was and what he wanted from me and then I ran like hell."

A human Katerina ran as fast as her legs could carry her through the woods. Katerina had been running for at least a mile and her legs were starting to hurt making her want to stop.

Once she found out the truth, of what Klaus was going to do with her she ran. She was still running when Katerina fell in front of a tree."Katerina," the brunette hid behind a tree not moving a muscle hearing Elijah's voice booming through the woods.

"I know you're near, I can smell your blood," reaching up Katerina could feel blood on her, "It's pointless to run, Klaus will find you wherever you are, he will never stop looking," the young girls heart raced knowing he was right.

She knew Klaus to be vindictive, she would never be freed of him. He was never going to let her go, "This way. There is more blood over there," she heard Trevor's voice tell Elijah.

Thinking it was safe Katerina got up slowly and was about to run, but Trevor arrived, placing a finger on her mouth as he pushed her against the tree. Trevor waited a few seconds before telling her, "Head east. I can't distract them much longer."

Still using her fake accent Katerina said, "I can't run anymore Trevor."

"Never mind," he told her, "There's a cottage. You'll be safe there. Go now. Go!" Doing as he said Katherine took a breath before running east just hoping they wouldn't be caught.

"So, what did Klaus want," Rowan asked as she sat on the ground.

Katherine explained to the girl, "The same thing that he wants from you two. He wants to break the curse."

"By sacrificing the Petrova doppelgänger," Elena figured.

The vampire nodded in agreement, "He wanted to drain every single drop of blood of my body."

Speaking up Rowan still wondered, "That still doesn't explain anything about me. Why do they want me?"

Katherine shrugged honestly telling her, "In truth? I don't really know, all they ever said was they wanted you. Sometimes, I think they wanted you more than me. Maybe if you didn't kill Elijah you would know."

The girls looked at each other unsettled. deciding to mess with them more Katherine said, "The one thing I do know, you will never be free of them. Klaus will take everything you love, and I'm pretty sure that's just your dad the you love. For a girl as invisible as you Rowan, that will destroy you. You'll end up being worse than me, it'll be fun to watch."

Stubborn Rowan told her, "No way in hell am I ever becoming you. I'm not becoming a monster."

Katherine laughed at her, "The funny thing Rowan, you think you'll have a choice. I didn't, and neither will you. You're dumb if you think you'll be free."
